KAIDA’S POV Yes. I loved the kiss more than I could admit and it angered me. Maverick shoved his tongue slowly into my mouth, capturing mine in his. His hand shifted from my waist to my ass. Just one spank on my ass and a moan threatened to spill out. I shouldn’t be doing this. Not with my best friend’s brother, but I was too into the kiss to break it and Maverick? He was down so bad. “Fuck!” Maverick let out an unsatisfactory groan. He wasn’t satisfied with just the kiss. He wanted more and I wasn’t ready to give. Another spank on my ass, got my brain returning like a wave in the seashore. My eyes peeled open and I pushed him with every strength I had in me. Annoyingly, he has great stamina, hence, my push only disconnected our lips but wasn’t enough to send him reeling backwards or even hit the wall. “What have I done?” I muttered as I dug my fingers into my hair in frustration. “Leave, Maverick.” My voice trailed off as I spoke. “See? You’re down so ba
KAIDA’S POV I remained in the restroom until my ragged breaths returned to normal and fell into a steady rhythm. And when that happened, I gathered my hair into a more tighter bun as the last made my hair rough and strands fell to my face. It took less than a minute to get it done and once I was ready to leave the restroom, I exhaled loudly and moved to the door. I knew I was going to receive an earful of nagging from Mrs. Cash for ignoring the needs of her VIP diners. Today wasn’t that perfect and smooth day, after all. With one last exhale, I grabbed the door knob and pushed it open, only to be met with those deep blue pairs of eyes I would rather not want to meet. Why was he outside the restroom? Where was his date? Did he leave her at the VIP hall upstairs, just to come see me? ‘Hey, Kaida. Don’t be delusional. Maverick would never.” I scolded myself inwardly, killing all other inner thoughts trying to sprout their roots in my mind and make me go crazy. I pa
KAIDA’S POVI had no intentions of letting Ember know what Maverick did.No matter how hard I thought about it, there wasn’t a single right in what he had done. Maverick had no fucking right to threaten Liam on our behalf.“Shit!” I took in my lower lips as my finger hovered the screen of my phone with Maverick’s number displayed on it.I wanted to call him to meet me at the park close to college, but I was running out of time for my next shift.Seconds turned into minutes and when I realized it was too late to call him, I turned off my phone and threw it into my pocket. “Let’s attend to our current job first.”I tied my hair into a lower bun, the tip touching the small of my back as I sprinted down the road to the restaurant across.It hasn’t been easy juggling two jobs coupled with studies, but I had to do it nonetheless.Reaching the restaurant, I pushed the entrance door open and a bell rang, indicating that someone just entered.“You’re here,” Naomi, a co-worker smiled at me from
KAIDA’S POV All my life, I’ve never seen a family thanksgiving where the family doesn’t celebrate together and were better off as strangers. The Jensens just showed me a different kind of thanksgiving. A kind of thanksgiving, far more different from the one I’ve known my whole life. Mr. Vuk and his wife didn’t come down for breakfast and once we were done, we left for the airport. Mia, Killian and Miller returned to California, while we returned to Rochester. Despite sitting at the same roll on the plane, no one uttered a word until we arrived in Rochester. “I’m sorry for what happened back at our house. This is the reason why I’m not into family thanksgiving.” Ember muttered as soon as we arrived in our apartment. I flashed her a smile. A genuine one. I’ve come to realize not every family can be like mine. Every family has their way of thanksgiving and I believed it was their way of doing theirs. “I enjoyed myself. No worries.” “And for my dad..” she paused and let
KAIDA’S POVMy cheeks flushed in embarrassment and I took in my lower lips. Jesus Christ, it was so embarrassing that I wished the ground would open and swallow me.“Your hands, Kai…” this time, it sounded more like a warning. A dangerous one.One that screamed ‘if you don’t take your hands off my cock, it’d be forced down your throat.’“Ahhh,” I snapped out of my frozen words and immediately yanked my hand off his hardened cock like it was a burning furnace, one which could burn me if I hadn’t taken it off. “I’m sorry.”My head hung low and I didn’t dare look him straight in the eyes.Meanwhile, the others at the front roll had not even the slightest idea of what was happening between Maverick and I.It was a good thing they had no idea, because if they did, I wouldn’t live down that moment.“If you’re so desperate to feel and hold my cock, you should tell me, not try to be smart.” Maverick leaned closer and whispered into my ear.My cheeks and ears lit up in crimson red like that o
KAIDA’S POV Have you ever been dragged to a traumatic past where your chest tightens with every breath and your eyes shrink from fear and suffocation? That was how I felt when I fell into the pool. I felt my world coming to an end. Death isn’t always simple. When it comes, you try to outrun it, fight it and try to win, but when it drags you to the land of darkness where you can’t move or open your eyes forever, it is very painful. When I tried to outrun what I thought was death, it wasn’t an easy fight. I struggled, but each breath was suffocating and painful. I felt like dying at that moment. If I’m dying right now, then, so be it. But I haven’t covered my bucket lists yet. There are still many things I haven’t done. Yes, I gave in to death with regrets. I thought I was dead, but well, that was my intrusive thoughts speaking because at that moment, I heard voices like whispers in my ears and my body was so heavy that I couldn’t push myself to a sitting position
