~ 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

~Xander~We reached the cottage, where Zarren went to the room to rest while Aoife engaged with Zach in the kitchen.Yeah, he was excited, and so was she for the evening.Matt and I came out.“Why did you bring her here?” I exclaimed.“She called your mom and found out about this trip and knew I would join you guys soon.”“So?”“She called me to pick her up along the way.” He replied blankly.I knew my mom would have told her about our trip.“I think she is jealous of Aoife. Your changed beha

It was a full-moon night, and the sight was beautiful.I scanned my phone and thought to call Aunt Jeena, but there, I thought she already had a lot on her plate to deal with.“Mom,” tears blurred my vision as I touched my tattoo.I needed her to guide me, to hug me. I closed my eyes as I felt a warm thing over my shoulder. Is it my mom’s hug?Lost in my thoughts, I didn’t realize somebody had kept a jacket on my shoulder.When I got to my senses, I saw Xander standing beside me, resting his jacket on my shoulders. I wanted to stay with him, but it would be painful for me only.Without saying a word, I dropped his jacket from my body and started walking towards the cottage.He clenched my hand.“Leave my hand,” I whispered, closing my eyes and facing back to him. He moved closer to my vulnerable state, whispering the words I could not expect.“Aoife, please....stay...” It was hard for me as it was getting away from his grip.“Please don’t leave me.” He purred, leaving my hand.I took

The following day, when I woke up, everyone was getting ready to leave home. I heard Zareena crying in her annoying noise, blaming me in front of everyone. “It’s because of her we fought. Why don’t you leave us alone?” She screamed. I looked around, as Xander was not there. “Where is he?” I asked Matt as he tried to take me upstairs. “He left. His jeep is not here,” Matt replied. “Took off?” “Yeah, just stay in your room. I am taking Zareena with me, and you come with the rest.” He tried to make me calm down. I agreed as I saw everyone looking at me with a questionable gaze. “Aoife, what happened between Xander and you? I don’t believe Zareena, but is there something I should know as your friend?” Matt questioned. I recited everything that happened, “We went for a walk, that was it. But Zareena thinks Xander is involved with me somehow.” Matt cupped my face, “It’s ok. I understand you.” After some time, Matt and Zareena left. “Can I talk to you for a second?” Raphael knocke

~Aoife~ We reached the dorm, and I asked for the keys from Xander. “It’s in my pocket,” he smirked as he tilted his waist towards me. I rolled my eyes as I tried to take out the keys from his pocket. “Little left, yeah there,” his signature devilish smile played on his face. I opened the door, helped him settle on the bed with his limping feet, and kept the other stuff on the table. Looked around, I asked casually. “Would you like to take off the clothes?” With the same smile, he raised a brow at me. “I would love to,” he pulled my crop top. “What? No...no. I mean your clothes. I think you should change it,” not to wonder, what’s going on in his naughty head? “Oh Yeah,” he frowned as he blew out his cheeks. “But, I can’t lift this hand,” “I am sure your entire body is sore,” I added. Something was cooking in his head; he tried to tease me; now it’s my turn. “I will help you,” I smiled as I inclined my head towards him. He told me to grab the clothes from the closet. H

~Aoife~Matt went out, and I thought about checking on Xander’s condition.“How are you feeling?” I questioned with a smile.He scanned me, peeling his eyes from his phone screen.“I am sure you heard him.” He sighed.“Well, he was right. He cared for you.”“We only get angry with the person we love, right?” He agreed with me, extending his smile.“Come sit here.” he patted the space on the bed. I settled in front of him.“You were angry with me. Does that mean...”I bit my lower lip, shaking my head in no.“It was different. You bullied me, and I was upset with you.”“Technically, I didn’t bully you. It was a misunderstanding, and I am sure it’s clear now?”“Can I ask you something?” I mused.“Why did you leave?”“Aoife, I am not feeling good to say this, but I am a person who leaves the situation if I don’t know how to handle it.”“I felt the same, Zareena’s demands, and you, I didn’t know how to handle all these together,” He confessed.“Me? But she was not wrong at her place. She

~Aoife~I came out as I saw Matt rubbing his temple in stress.“Hey, are you ok?” I said. He tried hard to stir a smile on his stressed face.“Yeah,” he whispered.I sat next to him as I constantly looked at him. “What?”“You know you can talk to me. Right? I may not solve your problem, but we could share some stress as a friend.”I bit my lips as I squeezed my eyes. A cute smile played on his face. “Is there something you are stressed with?” I tilted my face as he looked in front.He lashed out a sharp breath as he stroked his head.“It’s my family. My mom suffers from cancer, and my sister is preparing for university. I cannot help them at all.”With a heavy breath, he muttered. I felt bad; he was suffering all alone with all these critical matters.“Does Xander kn

~Aoife~My phone buzzed with an alarm. I cursed that sound, which disturbed me from my deep sleep. “Shut up.” I covered my ears.I never liked winter days if I had to get up in the morning.I pulled my warm blanket with the thought of taking a quick nap.We all like that small nap after our alarm buzz; the sleep between the snooze time is purest.“Just one more minute, please,” I whispered with my roll mouth. My phone buzzed again while I was trying to open my heavy eyes. I turned, and the next moment, I found myself on the ground.“Ahhh...” I screamed.THUD. I fell from the couch as my butts hit the ground. The next thing I heard was Matt laughing madly, looking at me.He came to pick me up from the ground.“Shut up,” I groaned, rubbing my ass.“Areee..... youuu... ok,” he couldn’t c
