Se connecterCHAPTER NINETYFIONA’S POVI did not know where I was going. I just knew I needed to get away from that bathroom before I completely lost it in front of both of them.My feet carried me down the hallway while my mind kept replaying the same few seconds over and over. Kenz standing there with Dan, the way they had been looking at each other, the conversation I had clearly interrupted, and then the one thing I could not stop thinking about.They had been kissing.My boyfriend had been kissing someone else.I stopped near an empty hallway and leaned against the wall, trying to slow down my breathing. The arena was still loud somewhere behind me, with people moving around and talking as if nothing had happened, but I felt completely disconnected from all of it.How had I not noticed?How had I been sitting beside Kenz all this time, believing I understood what was going on in his life, while something like this had been happening right in front of me?I heard footsteps approaching from be
CHAPTER EIGHTY NINEDAN’S POVThe arena was louder than I expected when I first walked out onto the court for warmups. I had played in front of crowds this size plenty of times before, but tonight everything felt off from the start. Part of it was knowing Kenz was somewhere in Boston after all the calls and the mess between us. The rest of it was just how long I had spent that whole day wondering what it would be like to actually see him again after everything that went down.I kept glancing up at the stands whenever I got a free second between shots and stretches, even though I knew the chances of spotting one person in a place this packed were pretty low. Still, I could not help looking. Then during warmups I looked up one more time and there he was.For a second I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Kenz was sitting several rows up, glancing around the court like he was trying to take the whole place in. The second it clicked that it was really him, a smile just showed up on
CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHTKENZ’S POVThe moment the plane landed, I already knew Fiona was going to make this trip ten times more chaotic than it needed to be. She had spent almost the entire flight talking about everything she wanted us to do once we got here, and somehow, despite the fact that I had stopped listening halfway through, she still managed to come up with more plans every time I looked at her.“Okay, so first we get our bags, then we check into the hotel, and after that we need to find somewhere to eat because I refuse to spend my first day in Boston starving. Then we can walk around for a little while, maybe get coffee somewhere, and tomorrow we can actually start touring because I already found a bunch of places I want us to see.”I looked at her.“Do you ever stop talking?”“No, because somebody has to make sure you actually have fun. If I leave the planning to you, we’ll probably spend the entire trip inside the hotel watching television and pretending we’re too tired to
CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHTDAN’S POVI woke up before my alarm went off, which was weird because I had barely been sleeping properly for the past few days. I reached for my phone without even thinking and checked the time, expecting to have at least another hour before training started, but instead, the first thing that popped up was Kenz’s name with a message that just said tomorrow.I smiled a little when I remembered our talk from last night. It was strange how one simple message from him could shift my whole mood around. I had spent weeks worrying about Ethan, struggling to focus during training, and constantly wondering what he was going to pull next, but knowing Kenz was coming to Boston made things feel a little lighter. It didn't fix everything, but at least I didn't feel like I was dealing with all of it by myself anymore.I sat up and ran a hand through my hair before checking my messages again. There was still nothing from Ethan, and while that should have made me feel better, it
CHAPTER EIGHTY SIX KENZ’S POV The countdown to Boston officially started the moment I woke up. Thirty days. That was how long I had to wait before I could finally see Dan again. Thirty days sounded like a lot when I first thought about it, but somehow, the days started moving faster than I expected. Classes kept piling up, assignments kept appearing out of nowhere, and every time I looked at my calendar, another day was gone. Still, I kept counting. Twenty nine days. Twenty eight. Twenty seven. It was honestly getting embarrassing. I knew I was being ridiculous, but I couldn’t help it. I kept telling myself I was only excited because I hadn’t seen Dan in a while and because he needed someone familiar around him. That was all. At least… That was what I kept telling myself. I was sitting at my desk trying to finish an engineering assignment when my phone buzzed beside me. I glanced at it. Dan. My heart immediately jumped before I could even read the mes
CHAPTER EIGHTY FIVE ETHAN’S POV I couldn't stop thinking about Dan's post. Even after I got home, dropped my bag on the floor and changed out of my clothes, the caption kept coming back to me. I had read it so many times that I practically knew it by heart. People make mistakes and get away with it. I've made mine and lost everything. I miss you. There was something about it that didn't sit right with me. Dan wasn't the type to post emotional things online, especially not something that personal. Most of the time, his I*******m was just basketball pictures, team photos or something Jason had probably convinced him to post. So seeing him suddenly write about losing someone and missing them immediately made me curious. Whoever he was talking about clearly mattered to him. A lot. I sat at my desk and opened my laptop, hoping I could finally concentrate on studying, but the textbook in front of me wasn't helping. I had exams coming up and I knew I needed to take them seriously, ye
Kenz’s POV Chapter TWO I stared at the text for so long, not knowing what to do. Why the hell was Jeremy texting me? He had ignored me completely after spending the entire summer together, yet those few words he sent shifted something in me, and I really hated it. I finally decided to reply,
KENZ POV CHAPTER ONE "Fuck Jeremy,” I moaned as his hands slowly slid lower. The kiss was the most erotic thing I'd ever felt.He pulled his top up, and I saw the most perfectly carved body.“Get on your knees,” he commanded with his calm but deep voice.I reached out for his trousers, maintainin
Kenz's POV Chapter THREE “Shit,” I muttered under my breath. Jeremy pulled away from me so fast it almost made me laugh, but it would be stupid to do that with my situation right now. “Kenz?” my sister called again from outside my door. My stomach dropped. I was as good as dead. Ellie was
CHAPTER THIRTEEN KENZ POV The mansion looked like it had been ransacked. Plastic bottles littered around the floor and red cups were covered on every available surface. The smell of alcohol made me want to puke. I stepped over a pile of empty boxes drenched with alcohol. “
