The sound of knocking on the door disrupted my sleep. I opened my eyes but didn't get up, "what?" I lazily asked, yawning like a little girl."Get out, you have a guest.""Guest?, What guest?." I wasn't expecting anyone, heck I didn't even know anyone. I took my phone and checked the time, it was just 08:30 so who could it be.I got up and grabbed my robe. Putting it on, I headed downstairs to find Sloan waiting impatiently for me. I sat on the couch close to his and crossed my leg. "What brings you here so early?""Isn't it obvious?, I'm here to know your decision.""I told you I would call you.""Well I'm here now so you might as well just tell me.""Fine. I thought about it last night and decided that it wouldn't be a terrible thing to do.""So you're interested?""Yes, but you have to treat me with the respect I

It was a new week, sloan and I were already a fake couple. I told myself that I wouldn't fall for him no matter what and I was doing averagely okay. I adjusted my hair as I waited by the door. This would make it the third time I'd be coming to Melanie's place. She has been trying so hard to be close to me, so much that it's making me quite uncomfortable because I wasn't used to people coming close to me.She smiled brightly as she opened the door and hugged me. "Oh, it's good to see you too." I said as I hugged her back."I'm sorry I kept you waiting for too long, I was just getting dressed." She pulled me by the hand and led me inside. "I need your help." She said as we both sat down."What do you need?""There's this guy I like, but he doesn't like me back." "So what am I supposed to do about that?""I need your help to get his attention.""How on Earth am I supposed to do that?" I laughed but I noticed that she actually looked a little hurt. "Look Melanie, I don't know much about

HENRY"What're you doing here?" She sat across me and smiled like this was something we did often."Henry, why are you being distant?""What do you mean?, Were we ever close?""We would have gotten married if it wasn't for what happened.""Well we didn't get married, and thank God we didn't cause I don't think I want to be married to you.""Do you have to be so mean all the time?""Mean?, I'm simply being honest.""Anyway, I'd like you to do something for me."I leaned forward in my seat and removed my glasses. "You want me," I put a hand on my chest "to do something for you." I pointed at her and she nodded. "You're funny.""Why?, Hazel asked me to meet her at her boyfriend's pizza place and I don't wanna go alone.""Hazel," that woman, I didn't like hearing her name. Since the last time we met, she's been living in my brain, refusing to go away. I wasn't so sure I wanted to see her again, yet I desperately wanted to. "When?""Thank you." Melanie smiled at me, she must have thought I

HENRY"Who could it be at such a late hour?" I glanced at the wall clock, 08:44pm. I lazily got up from the couch and strolled slowly to the door."I want more." My eyes widened in surprise when I saw her."Who gave you my address?" She ignored my question and walked in. I shut the door and joined her in the living room."I want more." She repeated without looking at me."Woman, please be specific about your request." She turned to face me but didn't say anything. "Well?," I waited for her to talk but instead she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me. "Oh" I said when she ended the kiss and she nodded.I cupped the side of her face and put a loose strand of hair behind her ear. I kissed her cheeks, her nose, her eyes, her forehead...and then her lips. Softly at first but I deepened the kiss, demanding a response from her and I got one when I felt her hands go up my neck to my hair. She parted her lips and I slid my tongue in her mouth, exploring the sweet darkness.She moaned an

I sat across Henry after Melanie and Sloan had left. I didn't know what to say to him and he was just staring at me, smiling like a little kid. "Look Henry, I know I said I was in love with you but I just want you to know that I'm not an easy girl to deal with." He smiled even more brightly and nodded repeatedly. "If I decide to go out with you, you have to promise me that you're going to stop seeing other girls."Yes ma'am.""I mean it, and you have to stop being mean to people, and you have to love me, and only me, and-""Hazel," he held my hand and stared into my eyes, making my heart seize for a moment. "I love you, I don't know how it happened, I don't know when it happened, all I know is that you mean so much to me, and I promise you that I'll never do anything to hurt you." He smiled and it made me smile too.My heart fluttered with the way he smiled so tenderly. Henry was nothing like Sloan. When I was with Sloan, I was happy, sure but with Henry, it's just so different. I did
