~Aoife~ It’s hard to know who Xander is to me. One moment he was the worst, and the next, he behaved like a perfect gentleman. He made me cry, and today he made me blush with his gaze. His piercing gaze was telling some hidden story. That was the first time I was not scared of him when I saw a glimpse of emotions, or should I say, the first time I looked closely into his glossy brown eyes. Matt was right about him. If he wanted, he could behave like a gentleman. I loved the way he tried to hide my back with my hair. He is protective of his unique way. I genuinely enjoyed dancing with him. There was something in his touch that gave me chills. Whether or not I accept it, something strange was going on between us. His protective nature or possessiveness always surprised me. He rolled his eyes when we were disturbed by Zareena. It felt like Zareena peeled him from my hand. I needed to control this emotional ride; after all, he was not mine. With a deep breath, I started dancing wit
Is it my illusion or he was really stood in front of me?I took a step back and about to stumble on thebathroom floor when his arms snaked my waist.“What are you doing here?” I jeered.“Why are you here?”I could see his face spinning. I tried to open my eyes harder.“You are drunk.” He rested his hand on the door and blocked my way.“So? Do I need to ask you how much I should drink?” I tried to get away, but he didn’t budge.“Let me go. Zach is waiting for me. He is taking me out.” I blubbered something as I jerked his hand.“Where are you going with him?” His tone changed.“I don’t know,” I answered as I came out of the room. He followed me.“You are not going anywhere with that jerk,” and the next moment I found myself on his shoulder. He scooped me on his shoulder and brought me to the same room.“What are you doing? Let go of me,”“Let go of me,” I screamed. As I hit his solid back.He felt nothing.~Xander~How can I allow her to go out when she is drunk?Not possible. I have b
~Aoife~ Something was nice about my bed today; I relaxed as everything near me was so cozy and soft. I fluttered my eyes and adjusted my cornea to the morning light. The cool fresh breeze was coming from somewhere, and a soothing sensation alerted my mind. The sight was not similar to my dorm, nor did I keep white curtains. It popped my eyes out in pure horror as I couldn’t recognize the surroundings I was in right now; I immediately pushed the blanket out of my body and jumped out of the bed; It terrified me to death. This room wasn’t mine; where the hell am I? Slowly, I turned around and looked at the whole place; it captured my mind in the same confused state. Why is nobody there? The last thing I remembered was that Zach and I discussed him taking me out. But does that mean we spent a night together in a hotel? I noticed that the room was beautiful and luxurious; the furniture, large windows, a vast bed, and paintings. It was definitely a hotel room. SHIT, I pulled my hair i
~Xander~ This morning was particular for me; teasing her was my thing. But my ears were desperate to hear my name in her moaning voice. I waited for her for breakfast as mom left for the office. She comes from the stairs in her denim skirt and a royal blue full sleeves off-shoulder top. Her laced sandals cover her feet nicely. All blue shades belonged to her, and that blue sapphire eye smiled at me, dotting me down. My mouth widened when I saw her like this. “Fuck, I am done,” I whispered, looking at her. Did she even know she was controlling the Xander Baston? “Hey,” “Where is everyone?” She looked here and there as I was busy taking her inside me. “They left,” I answered while gulping hot coffee. “Everyone? Means your extended family also?” I rolled my eyes. “Eat something first,” I extend some toast, scrambled egg, and fruits. She chooses a strawberry to eat. Why the hell does she always tease me? After she finished her first strawberry, she pulled the thumb out, moaned s
~Aoife~ Everything was changing. Is it because of Xander or me? The hassle we had between us changed into something. A feeling of easy-going took over our hearts. He was changing, and I never knew I had started liking his weird company with me. He was challenging me in a way I had never imagined. He made me jump off the cliff, knowing how much I feared water. And after my trip to the hospital, it was more than a nightmare for me. After this unexpected crazy action, I walked towards the car, cursing him for what he had done. The words he husked over me, saying he would not let nothing happen to me, caught me. Standing so close to him, I couldn’t think of anything else. His presence affects me so much in a way I never felt before. Our body was so close to each other, and all I wanted was to melt under his warmth. Why is he doing this to me? He is not my guy; I wanted a loyal man, and he is far from it. He already has a girlfriend. I walked away, keeping my vitals in control. I slamm
~Aoife~ Nobody wanted to go hiking. I thought Zach would accompany me, but he didn’t. Well, we didn’t come here to sleep late in the morning. We are in nature, so why not enjoy every moment? I didn’t want to ask Xander. I tried hard to avoid any such collision with him. Staying away was the key. No worries, I can go alone if no one is going with me. I woke up early in the morning and prepared myself for hiking. I filled my bag with some energy bar and water and charged my phone to take beautiful pictures. I checked the weather. It was cold. “All set,” I patted myself. I wore a long pink sweater to cover my body correctly with blue jeans. Boots and a woolen cap with mittens. Only my face was visible as it turned red with the first stroke of breeze. It was dark outside; the sunrise would be after thirty minutes. “Great,” I started walking toward the dense forest. “What if there is a wolf?” No, Aoife, you are a strong girl. Let’s finish what you have started. After talking to m
~ Aoife~ We came to our cottage as Zach was continually chatting with us. It was strange yesterday; I was drooling over him for his looks, and today, I felt annoyed by him. Is it because of Xander? Well, I got annoyed by Xander too. What to say, my mind is a fluctuating machine. “Thanks for joining; you can do your workout now,” With a mustered smile, I answered Zach. He agreed as he went for an outdoor workout. All the members were sleeping, I guess. “Would you like to eat something?” I asked Xander. We entered the house, silent with a bit of warmth from the outside environment. “Yeah, I am damn hungry.” He crashed on the couch
~AOIFE~Truth hurts; indeed, it hurts badly. I was so stupid to let him drive me to that point where I lost control and submitted myself to him.How did I allow him to kiss me? My heart ached when Zareena kissed him in front of me.It pierced my heart all this time, thinking I was just a time-passing thing for him. It’s not his fault; it was mine. I let those feelings settle in my heart even after knowing he was not a one-woman man. But what should I do with my heart? It was still stuck in his beautiful brown eyes and in his warmth.Didn’t he feel anything?How strange our minds were a few moments back. I was ready to give myself to him, but everything changed in a few minutes.We can only hate a person if we love them; we cannot hate a stranger; this thought is true.Whatever was there in between him and me, it felt like a mistake.Yes, it was a mistake. I wanted to accept this, but why was my heart not ready to buy it?I am not a person who used to react in front of everyone. I am a
