Chapter 16 - Truce
“I come in peace.” Knox says walking toward my table holding up a white paper.
“Funny.” I say as he pulls out a chair and he sits down. I’m at my favorite breakfast place having coffee and a muffin. I come here to reset and get some peace before I head out into the world. So the fact that he’s here is a problem, he is my peace killer.
“I know that I’m not your favorite person right now, so I have to approach you cautiously. I don’t want to lose an eye.” He says smiling at me like he said something funny. I look at him like’ boy please.
“Did you want something?” I ask looking at his beautiful and annoying face. I hate it when he’s playful. He makes me want to be near him and be friends.
“See, I haven’t been here more than five minutes and you’re already over me.” He says making a sad face at me. He’s in a good mood today. I can’t remember

“Are you in a hurry to go somewhere?” I ask Melody when I’m done paying the bill. She raises her brows at me her walls coming up instantly.“Why do you ask?” she say and I smile. She’s always on guard when I’m around these days. It’s incredible that there was a time when she trusted me enough to go along with whatever I did.“I want to show you something.” I say and she looks at me suspiciously.“I don’t know if hanging out is a good idea.” She says shutting me down already. I want to go back to a moment ago when she was laughing and playful with me.“It’s nothing weird I promise.” I say my face blank. I want her to know that I’m not planning anything weird or back handed.“What is it?” She says interested but cautious.“Do you remember that dog shelter we fund raised for in first year?”

“Thank you for today, I had fun.” I say to Knox when we walk into my apartment. He walked me all the way from his car to my door. I told him he doesn’t have to come up but he insisted on coming up anyway. I don’t know what he hopes to achieve by coming up but whatever he has planned is not happeningI knew hanging out with him today would blur the lines a little but I really did want to see Sonia and the new center. I’m glad I went but I’m not happy with what is happening now. I can feel the strings I had with Knox getting retied. Every time I spend more than an hour with him, my heart, mind and more terrifyingly my body want to be closer to him.I know better than to let him any closer to him. But he knows the same thing too. He knows that I have a weakness for him. And he’s not scared to use that power to his advantage.“Thank you for coming with me. It’s always a pleasure spending time with you.” he

I look at the open door Melody just stormed out of. I know she expects me to walk out after her but I’m not going to do that. I’m not going to count myself out when it took so much for her to even talk to me again. I need to calm down and work my way back into her life.I’m lucky she didn’t send me packing when I walked up to her up to her this morning at breakfast. That whole conversation could have gone really wrong. I did well with calming her down and distracting her with the rescue center.I didn’t give her the time to think about being near me for too long. That always sets her off, she doesn’t trust me enough to let her guard down anymore.She just caught me off guard with the Samantha declaration; I didn’t think that she would come up today. I thought I could convince her to spend at least a day with me before my girlfriend came up. But I didn’t know that Samantha was already in play.The crazy

“Hey.” Michael says walking up to the booth at the back of Jerry’s. I finished my shift thirty minutes ago. And when he texted me to meet up, I figured it made sense we meet here. I’m too tired to go anywhere else but home so I didn’t bother making plans to meet anywhere else. “Hi.” I say looking up at hi. He moves closer giving me a kiss, when our lips touch I get the same warm feeling I got the first time we kissed. He sits next to me looking me at me. I guess I still like him but there are so many distractions, I don’t know how I feel sometimes. “How are you?” He says smiling at me sweetly. His smile is still beautiful and charming. He really is a very handsome man. “I’m tired.” I say smiling back at him, I always find his smile hard to resist. “I can tell you’re tired.” He says touching my face so softly, it makes me close my eyes. “All I want to do now is sleep”. I say letting my head rest on the backrest of the chair. “Woul

“So you dated Knox.” Michael says when we walk through my apartment door. He closes the door and whistles loudly. I turn around and look at him.“Dated is a big word.” I say and he looks at me sideways. Saying we dated is stretching it, Knox and I hung out. We were never official. What we did never had a label, it was a situationship.“So you didn’t date?” He asks that curious look back on his face. I don’t know how I feel about him being so interested in my “ex”. It makes me uncomfortable, I would rather he was interested in me.“We hung out.” I say and he nods slowly, as if trying to make sense of what I said.“Okay.” He says finally and he looks at me for a long time. I walk to my sofa and sit down. I still feel tired but I know that Michael and I need to have this conversation now; so that we won’t have to have it later on.I know he has a lot of con

“You look nervous.” Knox says to me as I walk toward his car at my job’s parking lot. It’s the end of my afternoon shift on a Friday. I’m tired as usual and I’m regretting agreeing to this trip. I’m not looking forward to sitting in a car for hours.I was hoping Knox would change his mind and stand me up but he didn’t. There he is standing next to his car, looking like he’s the king of the world.I look at him thrown by how good he looks under the night lights. He looks like he has a halo on the top of his head. He’s so tall he’s blocking the pole of the light behind him. The darkness around him makes him look mysterious.And it doesn’t help that he looks so good in a pair of jeans.“Do you blame me?” He holds out his hand and I give him my bag. I watch him place it him place it in the boot.“I told you, you have nothing to
The play boy's secret lover Chapter 23 - On borrowed time
The next morning I wake up to the bright sun filtering through the big window of the room Knox put in last night. The curtains are thin enough for me to be able to see through to the outside. All I can see is lush green fields beyond. Dogs are barking and a few people are talking.Knox was right, this place is magical. I don’t remember the last time I slept this deep. I closed my eyes last night and the world disappeared. It’s like the stress just left my body. I really needed this.I reach around my bed for my phone; I find it under one of the many pillows on this huge bed. I’ve never slept in such luxury. I almost cried in joy when my body came in contact with these sheets. My skin has never touched anything this soft.If I was home I would have slept in the nude, just so I can fully luxuriate in the softness of the sheets and the plush mattress. But I didn’t feel comfortable enough to do it.I wake up my screen and look at the t

“Good morning.” Knox’s grandfather says walking into the sunroom, where one f the stuff led me to, to have breakfast. I came out of my room this morning to an empty house. I was then informed that Knox is out with his grandfather on farm work things. I was told that breakfast would be served here. I’ve been sitting here, sipping the best coffee I’ve ever had. “Morning .” I say smiling back at him. I look at him taken aback by his appearance. He looks like he was tackled to the ground and made to roll around in the dirt. “I was in a fight with a horse.” H says answering me before I even ask. “Well not really fight but I was thrown off a horse.” He says and my eyes go wide, why is he talking about getting hurt so casually? I know that’s dangerous. “That sounds serious.” I say looking at him concerned. Where’s Knox? He needs to check on his grandfather. “I’m alright, you should see Knox. He looks worse and he wasn’t even on the horse.” He s
