View MoreDrake’s POV
A buzzing sound made me hiss in annoyance. I needed sleep and whoever the fuck was calling me needed to stop. It was probably too early. Just the first day of me resting from college stress for summer break, this happens.
With a groan, I opened my eyes and glared at the beam of light coming from my bedside table. The room was fairly dark and the sun had risen a bit. I grunted and sat up then tossed my legs off the edge of the bed. I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed then grabbed the buzzing phone. I squinted my eyes at the bright light then rolled my eyes when I saw it was Paul calling.
I wanted to ignore the call, but I had missed him, even though we go to the same college. Our schedules as athletes kept us away from our places and in school. I swiped my finger on the screen and placed the phone to my ear.
“What is it?” I asked and he chuckled.
“Is that a way to speak to your big brother?”
“You woke me up from my sleep, you idiot.”
“Oh. What type of sleep were you having? I just got out of practice-type- sleep or I had a one-night stand type of sleep?” He laughed right after asking.
I gritted my teeth. He was always acting this way. I loved him but he was always joking and looking for a way to piss me off.
“Why did you call?” I asked and yawned.
“Oh, yeah. I wanted to tell you that mom needs us at home for the summer break we’re having.”
I groaned and he chuckled. I preferred to stay at my apartment than to go back home. Mom was always making us come home and I was getting tired of it. I needed a break where I stayed at my own apartment. I could beg dad to change her mind, but mom would somehow change his mind. It was weird seeing mom and dad act like teenagers in love. Yuck.
“Why?” I asked.
“I think it’s for Zoey’s fifteenth birthday.”
“Oh, right. I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me, man. I need to pick up a present today then,” I said, and he chuckled.
“This is going to be good. I am telling Zoey about this. You forgot her birthday?” He laughed maniacally on the other side of the phone.
I sprang up from my bed and glared at the floor, hoping that he wouldn't dare. Zoey was scary. She was quiet but scary. She always got anyone who did wrong, back and I wasn’t about to have this fucker rat me out.
“You better fucking not, Paul,” I warned through my teeth, and he continued to laugh then ended the call. “Fuck!”
I was doomed. Zoey was going to kill me. It wasn’t as if I forgot her birthday, it just slipped my mind. Zoey was capable of pranks that affected anyone’s real life business. It made me remember one time when Paul forgot to take her shopping and he brought over one of his many flings. She embarrassed the hell out of Paul with a prank about him being impotent and how he couldn't get it up. It was funny and each time I remembered, I always laughed but now, it was not looking funny.
I needed to get her a huge present to bribe her. I needed to start thinking fast and hard.
I sighed and flinched when I heard a crashing noise coming from outside my room. I rushed to the door and opened it then left the room. I silently, on light steps, walked toward the living room, hoping I wasn’t getting robbed. Once I got to the living room, I tiptoed toward the kitchen where I heard shuffling.
I froze when I saw the back of a woman in one of my shirts and I remembered that I brought a member from my opponent’s team from yesterday’s tennis match home. I smirked and eyed her long-toned legs. I entered the kitchen and wrapped my arms around her waist, making her flinch.
“What are you doing awake?” I asked and kissed her cheek.
She giggled. “I was hungry and it’s almost nine and–”
I stiffened at her words. I moved away from her as I got anxious. I quickly turned around, ready to leave only for her–I had forgotten her name– to stop me by holding my wrist. I faced her, eyes narrowed on her pretty face.
“What’s wrong?” She asked.
“Look, you need to leave. I have to leave. I just remembered that I have important homework to submit to my professor and if I don't, it will affect my grades. You can go home and eat breakfast. I don’t want to see you when I am done getting ready.”
“Who cares about grades. You sound like a fucking nerd. Pfft, such a turn off.”
She huffed and dropped my hand aggressively. She glared at me then brushed past me, leaving the kitchen. I sighed and rushed after her. Today was the last day of school and I needed to get everything done before I went home.

I parked my car in a free parking space facing my faculty, switched off the engine and got out with my file which contained my homework which I had rushed to do until dying hours. I knew I was going to fucking fail this course and dad and mom would kill me. Getting me into the University was easy but keeping up with my grades wasn’t. Especially when I had parents who were obsessed with putting their kids in expensive schools and making sure their kids got higher grades. With all the money we had, I would think they would pay our way into certain things, but they had a non-nepotism mentality.
I jogged through the hallway, heading toward my department building, which was a two to three minutes' walk. I was already late and needed to get to his office before he left for the summer break.
After the said time, I climbed the steps of the building and pushed the door open. The hall was quiet and empty as I stepped in. I could barely hear anyone. My footsteps echoed as I walked toward my professor’s office and as I got to it after some minutes, I knocked once before pushing the door open. The office was empty, which was perfect. All I had to do was drop the file off and run.
I walked into the office and when I got to the desk where a half empty cup of tea sat, I dropped the file on his desk and turned around, only to visibly shake when I saw a girl around my age standing at the door. She had to be the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Her platinum blonde hair was long and straight, framing her small face. Her eyes behind her big glasses were wide, probably from the sight of me. Her lips, which were plump and pink, were parted. She looked good in the pink short skirt and sweater vest she was wearing— She was like a doll. I was suddenly more interested in her than my professor seeing me.
“Hi?” She said in the most angelic voice I have ever heard.
I blinked. “Hi.”
She walked into the office and made her way over to where I was standing. Her proximity made me see she was shorter than me, only reaching my neck. Her flowery scent filled my nose, making me want to sniff more of it. I felt like a creep, but she was a beauty that I needed. Maybe she would be my next one-night stand before I went home.
I watched as she dropped a file similar to mine. On it was her name and her student number on it, as well as her department which was in the same department Paul was in— Business Administration.
“Did you come here to drop off your homework?” She asked and pointed at my file. “You should write your name, department and student number on top of the file. Professor Harrold told us to.”
Oh. I felt like an idiot all of a sudden. I barely paid attention in the man’s class as he always sounded boring.
I nodded at her and grabbed a pen from the desk then scribbled the information on the file. As I wrote, the girl started to leave. I swore under my breath and wrote fast. When the door closed, I sped up and when I was done, I placed the file under five files, including hers and rushed out of the office. I staggered to a stop in the middle of the hallway and looked ahead of me for her. I looked over my shoulder and sighed in relief when I saw her making a turn.
I jogged after her and when I slid sideways at the turn, I saw her hugging someone— a guy. The person backed me, and my heart stung, seeing that she had someone already. I tilted my head backward with a heavy sigh, letting the disappointment I was feeling wash over me. I faced forward and started making my way toward them since the doors to the building were in their direction.
As I neared them, she saw me and smiled.
“Did you write them down?” She asked as if we were close, her tone light and chirpy.
I forced a smile on my face and nodded then the guy looked over in my direction, making me freeze in shock. Same blue eyes, dark hair and build I was familiar with.
“Paul?”
“Drake?”
No fucking way. There was no way the girl I was momentarily attracted to, was my fucking brother's woman.
Not again.
Lana’s POV I was at peace.My lips moved against his, as my body got filled with raw heat. I opened my mouth and felt his tongue slip into it. He was being gentle, probably still shocked by what I was doing but before I knew it, he gripped my hips hard and pulled me closer to him then kissed me back.Goosebumps rose on my skin and pleasure filled me when he started to kiss me more deeply, filling a hole inside me with need and passion. His hand traveled from my hip to my back which he moved upward to the back of my neck. He angled my head and kissed me harder, harsher. He pushed his other hand under my dress, stopping dangerously close to my inner thigh. Paul tore his lips away from mine and began to pepper kisses against my face to my neck. I arched my back, pressing my breasts against his chest. I dug my nails into his shoulders and gasped when he nibbled on my neck. “This is what you want?” He whispered against my neck. “You want me to have you in more ways than one. Is that it,
Lana’s POVMy heart felt so many things at once as his lips moved against mine. Never in my life did I think that I would be in a lip lock with Paul. I had dreamt of it but never imagined that it would happen in real life. I was stunned to my bones, standing stiffly as my brain tried to register what was happening and when it did, I felt his hands hold my hips.I relaxed in his arms and pulled myself closer to his body, wrapping my arms around his neck and standing on my toes so I could meet his height. I parted my lips and heard him moan and sigh before he tilted his head to the side and deepened the kiss. I moaned when a shiver moved through my body, flowing out into our kiss.Just as the kiss began, it ended. I almost whimpered when he pulled away from my lips. I eyed his swollen and wet lips as he moved back before looking him in the eyes. His eyes were hooded and filled with a dark glint that made me feel a flutter in my stomach.“Sorry, guys,” Paul said and held my hand then sta
Lana’s POVI thought what I wore was slutty until I saw what people were wearing inside the club. The outfits were ridiculously small, thin, short, overly revealing and at some point, I could have sworn I saw someone naked, but I had been mistaken. The lights, the music, the number of drinks being taken, the crowd— Everything. It was overwhelming and at the same type, it screamed wealth. No matter how unclassy they appeared, they looked like the high class they were from.“Hold my hand!” Paul said over the loud music.I reached for his extended hand and held then I let him lead me toward the inner part of the club then up some stairs and into a more solemn part of the rowdy club. This place was more like a lounge with less people and less loud music. The few people in the lounge were drinking, chatting to each other, smoking and laughing.“Where is this place?” I asked and he looked back at me.“The VIP area.”We went over to one of the empty leather seats and sat down. I did not miss
Lana’s POV“What the fuck?!”I jumped out of my seat at the content of the bank notification on my phone. My eyes found it hard to believe it and I wanted to laugh at the message attached to the alert. What was he thinking? Why would Paul send such a thing to me so unprovoked?“What’s with that look on your face?”I forced myself out of my shocked state to look at Lia, one of the boys’ sisters. She was in her medical scrub, holding two cups of coffee. She walked over to me and handed me one of the cups then sat down on the couch I had been sitting on.“What happened?” Lia asked and took a sip out of her drink.I sat down and showed her the screen of my phone. She read the content and almost choked on her drink before looking at me with wide eyes.“Is something going on between you and Paul?” She asked with shock heavy in her voice. “How the fuck is he sending you $20,000 to buy a dress for a party?!”I couldn't tell if she was judging me or not. I was not that close to the girls, but
Lana’s POVWhat did he just say?Did my ears hear right, or I was just being delusional?“Paul… What did you just say?” I asked in a clearer voice. Tears and sadness left me as curiosity took over my being.Paul took a step back and rubbed his neck while smiling sheepishly. He dropped his hand and gestured around.“What I meant to say is… I know my brother hurt you, especially since you like him. I wanted to fill that void. I know how it feels to have someone you like not like you back. I’ve been there before, and it hurts. All I had to do was move on with someone else.”I understood what he was saying as it was something I was also planning on doing now but now, he was making things even harder than before. Paul was speaking in a way that left me confused and conflicted with myself. Was he implying that he wanted a chance with me or something?My teenage self would be over the moon if he had said this to me. Not that a part of me was not excited but I was simply exhausted and confuse
Lana’s POVI watched his back as he walked ahead of me. I could not tell where he was leading me to, and I was scared of asking him where he wanted us to talk. I simply kept my mouth shut and walked after him, keeping my eyes on his back still.We arrived on the other end of the mansion and walked out the wide doors. We were now in the garden, which looked beautiful under the night sky and the glow of the lights around. We strolled to a bench in the middle of the garden, which overlooked a small pond and sat on it. I made sure there was enough space between us and kept my gaze on the flower bush across from me.“I brought you here to say that I am sorry,” Drake said, straight to the point, which almost sounded forced.I side-eyed him and saw he was looking to the side while fiddling with his fingers. I looked away and sighed. I needed this to be done with.“I said a lot of things I should not have said, and I apologize for it,” he said and heard him take a deep breath. “I was the one
