“Melody?” Someone says behind me, I turn around and my eyes go wide in surprise. She’s wearing a matching purple outfit, not one hair out of place. She still looks like the judgmental girl she was years ago.
What the chances that I could run into her here at this very moment? This restaurant is way off campus and not many people know about it. I come here for their chicken salad, it’s so good and I like that it’s quiet. It’s very rare to run into people you know. Which is why seeing her here is weird.
“Summer.” I say shocked to see her here. She smiles looking me over. I can see the surprise in her eyes. I’m not what she expected. I bet she thought I would remain the same timid girl she used to bully. I smile letting her take her fill of me, yep I’ve grown up.
“It’s so weird running into you.” She says sitting on the chair at my table.
“Not r
“Can I come in?” Knox says looking at me at the door. I look at him and walk into my apartment and leave him at the door. He looks at me with his sexy, I own the world smile on his face.“Come in.” I say walking straight to my bedroom. I hear him close the door and he follows me to my bedroom.I go to my drawers and take out comfortable clothes and take off the ones I’m wearing. He stops at the door and looks at me as I undress. I can tell by the look on his face that he loves this.“You like what you see?” I say looking at him. He has this look of focus and zoning in on my body.“I love what I see.” He says smiling at me. He stares at me not even blinking once. “I bet you do.” I say and he laughs a little.“Why do you say that like it’s a bad thing?”He asks walking into my room and sitting on my bed.“Are we going to have this conversatio
I wake up from a nap to Melody sleeping next me, breathing softly. I move closer to her and kiss her lips. I kiss her eyes and then her nose. She opens her eyes to look at me. She smiles a little, like she’s coming out of a dream.She looks so calm and serene right now. This whole day has been an unplanned incredible experience. I was having such a shitty day dealing with Summer and Melody just made my day better. She’s given me so much today but I still want more. I look at her beautiful face and feel my cock get hard. I want her so bad and being in her bed, this close is making my feelings more intense.I kiss her mouth gently, coaxing her mouth open with my tongue. She opens up to me letting me deepen the kiss. I slowly move my body and place myself between her legs. I grind myself into her letting her feel my need for her.She moans into my mouth, feeling my body between her legs. I relish the sound of her enjoying what I’m doing to h
“You slept with him?” Casey asks looking at me shocked. “I thought you said you weren’t going to spent time with him anymore.” She says her eyes bulging at me. Her eyes zero in on me from her kitchen; I’m sitting on her sofa a few feet from the kitchen.I was dreading telling her what went down with Knox and I but I have to tell her. She’s been there for me when I was struggling. Knox’s heart break did a number on me and she’s the one person that took care of me. She never judged me; she just made sure that I don’t go insane.“I know.” I say feeling so guilty. I went back on my own word and I feel bad. It’s even worse because she and I were trying to get rid of Knox together. She walks to where I’m sitting and hands me a glass of wine. She stands there looking at me for a long moment.“What about Michael?” She asks sitting down, I frown at her. “What?&rdqu
I walk into my apartment and find my parents sitting on my sofa. I slowly close the door looking at them. I knew this moment was coming but I feel more underprepared than ever. My mother has her disappointed face plastered on; my dad is sitting opposite her looking bored. This should be interesting.“Evening.” I say putting my gym back n the floor. I place my keys in the key bowl.“All your unnecessary drama is taking a toll on us.” My mother says in response. I walk to a chair next to the sofa she’s sitting on and sit down. She turns her face so she can see me.“That wasn’t my intention.” I say looking from my father to my mother.“If that’s true you wouldn’t have broken up with Samantha and you kicked her out.” She says looking at me with so much anger in her eyes.“I didn’t kick her out. She decided to leave.” I say and she shakes her he
I look up as Samantha open the private study room at the library. My eyes open wide when she looks at me. I don’t think I’ve seen her this disheveled, she looks like she hasn’t taken a long time.“Hi” Samantha says sitting down in front of me. I look at her shock; she looks like she hasn’t slept in a year. Her eyes are all puffy and red. Her face has tear lines and her lips are swollen. I stare at her feeling all types of guilty because I know why she’s like this.“Are you okay?” I ask already knowing the answer. I can’t tell her I know why she’s sad and I can’t just ignore her too. This is bad, really bad. She doesn’t deserve what Knox is putting her through. And I help but feel like I’m partly to blame for what she’s going through.She was probably crying the whole weekend while Knox and were having sex and avoiding the world.“Yeah, I’m fine.&rdq
“Are you okay?” I ask Melody when she opens the door. I can tell that she just woke up but she doesn’t look rested at all. I was hoping her text was not as urgent as it sounded but judging by the look on her face; something is up.“Can I kiss you?” She says when I close the door behind us. I look at her surprised because she’s never done that before. I usually have to beg her to kiss me. It takes me a moment to respond to her because I’m so surprised.“Yes.” I say and she takes a few steps closer to me and she stands on her toes. I lean down and cover the last distance between us. Our lips meet and I can feel all the emotion, electricity and feeling flow between us. She moans softly accepting my tongue into her mouth.I wrap my arms around her deepening the kiss. I hold on to her saying my last goodbye to her. I need to take all that she can give me so that can sustain me for the rest of my life
I listen to Samantha put her keys in my apartment door and unlock it. I’m sitting on my couch looking at the door. I take a deep breath and watch the door open; I see her walk in slowly.As soon as I see her walk in so many emotions flood through my mind, I have to stay as calm as possible. Whatever she says I’m not going to react, I don’t want to give her any ammunition against me. I know she wants me to do or say something she will blackmail me with.I have to play this game the right way. My main priority is to get Samantha and my mother as far away from Melody as possible. And for me to do that I have to keep this one happy. I don’t care what I have to do; I just need to play along until I can find a way to get out from under their thumb.This is not going to be my reality forever.“He’s not home yet.” She says switching on the light. “What the hell?” She says when she sees me sitting o
“I was thinking of going backpacking in Asia.” I say and my grandfather shakes his head at me but he doesn’t say anything else. “You don’t think it’s a good idea.” I ask when he continues to stay silent. I can tell he’s over this complaining, self pity phase I’m going through. He’s just being nice about it.“You want to take some time off school?” He asks looking into the far distance. We’re sitting on his porch enjoying the cool air of the night. I remember the nights him, my grandmother and I would waste sitting out here. We would watch the stars and my grandmother would tell us old stories about warriors that live among the stars.“I want to disappear.” I say and he looks at me unimpressed with what I just said.“You want to run away.” He states not really asking me to confirm that’s what I’m feeling.“L
