“You look nervous.” Knox says to me as I walk toward his car at my job’s parking lot. It’s the end of my afternoon shift on a Friday. I’m tired as usual and I’m regretting agreeing to this trip. I’m not looking forward to sitting in a car for hours.I was hoping Knox would change his mind and stand me up but he didn’t. There he is standing next to his car, looking like he’s the king of the world. I look at him thrown by how good he looks under the night lights. He looks like he has a halo on the top of his head. He’s so tall he’s blocking the pole of the light behind him. The darkness around him makes him look mysterious.And it doesn’t help that he looks so good in a pair of jeans.“Do you blame me?” He holds out his hand and I give him my bag. I watch him place it him place it in the boot.“I told you, you have nothing to

“Good morning.” Knox’s grandfather says walking into the sunroom, where one f the stuff led me to, to have breakfast. I came out of my room this morning to an empty house. I was then informed that Knox is out with his grandfather on farm work things. I was told that breakfast would be served here. I’ve been sitting here, sipping the best coffee I’ve ever had. “Morning .” I say smiling back at him. I look at him taken aback by his appearance. He looks like he was tackled to the ground and made to roll around in the dirt. “I was in a fight with a horse.” H says answering me before I even ask. “Well not really fight but I was thrown off a horse.” He says and my eyes go wide, why is he talking about getting hurt so casually? I know that’s dangerous. “That sounds serious.”  I say looking at him concerned. Where’s Knox? He needs to check on his grandfather. “I’m alright, you should see Knox. He looks worse and he wasn’t even on the horse.” He s

In the evening “You look cute in your matching pajamas.”  Melody says when she opens her bedroom door. She smiles at me sweetly, looking me up and down.“Thank you.” I say striking a pose, she giggles as I change angles and show her my best pose.“I didn’t know you were a model.” She says moving from the door to let me.“Fun fact I wanted to be a model when I was younger.” I say closing the door behind me and following her to the bed. She gets under the covers and I sit on top of the covers.“I didn’t know that.” She says looking at me intrigued.“Yeah, I loved the idea of travelling the world and posing for pictures in expensive clothes.” I say smiling, I would dream for hours of the places I could see. I can still remember the excitement I felt at the thought of it.“And why didn’t you become a world travelling supe

“How was your weekend?” Samantha asks standing next to my bed. She gets under the covers moving her body closer to mine. I hold myself from recoiling from her. I’ve been editing my reactions to her since I got home a few hours ago.From the moment I walked through the door my brain has been telling me to break up with her and kick her out. I’m feeling angry and frustrated. And her being here is making the feeling even worse. Spending the weekend with Mel did something to me. She called me out n so many things that when I came home and found Samantha here, her words echoed in my mind.Our conversations did a number on me. She made me think deeply about how much I’m letting slide with Samantha. I’m coasting along letting her decide where my life is going. The truth is I don’t want t be here anymore. I don’t want to pretend to love Samantha anymore. I want to be free. I want to know what it’s like to live with no expec

“Can I come in?” Knox says looking at me at the door. I look at him and walk into my apartment and leave him at the door. He looks at me with his sexy, I own the world smile on his face.“Come in.” I say walking straight to my bedroom. I hear him close the door and he follows me to my bedroom.I go to my drawers and take out comfortable clothes and take off the ones I’m wearing. He stops at the door and looks at me as I undress. I can tell by the look on his face that he loves this.“You like what you see?” I say looking at him. He has this look of focus and zoning in on my body.“I love what I see.” He says smiling at me. He stares at me not even blinking once.  “I bet you do.” I say and he laughs a little.“Why do you say that like it’s a bad thing?”He asks walking into my room and sitting on my bed.“Are we going to have this conversatio
