hold me close forever (book 2 of Keller series)

It’s been a week since Jace, Arianne’s boyfriend, and his parents gone to Italy.His parents gave him a surprise trip to his favorite place, that is Italy of course! He was so pleased especially that his parents decided to join him after a long time of ditching him for work reasons, but a little disappointed that his girlfriend refuse to come with them.  Jace thought that it is still too early for him and Arianne to be apart from each other. He just got her as his girlfriend for less than a year. Their story is kind of cliché. The most popular boy slash quarterback slash rich kid meets the pretty nerd. Though they never knew each other's existence at first, they both think that fate did something for them to crossed path. And with some help from their friends, they end up loving and caring for each other. And now, Arianne convinced him that he should treasure and enjoy his moment with his parents while she also do the same before they leav

"Yannaaaaa!!!! Do you really want me to beg? C'mon!" Deacon has been trying to convince Arianne to come with him to the club. "Dea you know I don't go out! It's not my thing!" "but Yanna you've been camping here in your room for three days already. Aren't you getting tired and sick of it?" "why would I? I have my books and if I want I could watch something in my laptop. Deacon I'm okay!" Arianne is one of those people who he cares so much. She is like a sister to him. They grew up together and they tend to watched each other's back. Deacon surely knows something is wrong with her.  His Uncle James, Arianne's dad, told him that three days ago she went to attend her bestfriend, Kristinn's wedding. And when she came back, she's also back to being quiet.  It really made him upset seeing her that way. That's why he was trying to get her out of her room. He knows that he can't make her talk now though he already has an idea

Arianne's POV I woke up to Jace talking on his phone about his "ex-girlfriend" and the supposed to be closure for them. But how could that be? I am the ex that a few hours ago had surrendered herself fully to him. How can I be so stupid to think that in giving him my virginity, he will give us and our "love" a second chance? Closure? Yeah I guess that's what we really need! Maybe it's for the best if we at least be civil to each other. He's totally right, we have mutual friends and it'll be hard for us to ignore each other everytime we cross path. But seriously, I don't wanna be friends or civil with him. Jace is my first love. And I made a promise before that "I will love him, understand him and wait for him" until the end. Maybe I'd be a fool to say it now. But I think, only for him, I can let myself be broken and shattered by, ag

Arianne received emails from different colleges and universities. No wonder they wanted her, she graduated magna cumlaude of her batch. Sadly she find it hard to choose where to go, seems like everything is, if not too far then it's too good to be true. She felt so confuse about her studying again. Maybe it's because for several weeks, she's not feeling fine. Her father told her to relax and let things takes it's course. Today, she decided to end her laziness. She get up in her bed and go to her bathroom to have a shower. She's already putting on her underwear when she see her sanitary pads on one corner and remember her period didn't come yet. But she's regular. She gasped when thinking that maybe, just maybe! Her heart beats tremendously fast. She now remember Jace never use protection! And they do the deed for several times. Shaking her head in e

Arianne’s pov   I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I feel excited and nervous at the same time. Today, our company's new CEO and owner, Mr. Jace Keller will gonna come to our office to check for everything. He's a hands on boss remember? My mind can't figure out how will I act in front of him? Does he still hate me? Worst, does he still remember me? Feeling upset and frustrated, I go to the bathroom and take a shower to let myself calm down. Then after I put on my robe and wrap my hair with a towel, I make my way to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. My kids wants a heavy breakfast so I made fried rice with some sausage. I prepared them hot chocolate, and coffee for me and my dad. When I’m done, I wake them up and wash them. Then after dressing both of them, I lead them to the breakfast table. Gladly, I
