×Jamie×I chuckled as I laid back into the bed while resting on my elbows. Higan continued to pack his clothes with a lingering smile on his face at the sarcastic joke that I said earlier.Everything seemed perfect but I still couldn't shake off the feeling that he was hiding something from me. What favour did he need from his mom and why could he not say it in front of me?I know that even as couples, we each have our own lives and things going on but I had an inkling that I was more or less involved."You have the weirdest comments to things," Higan said, his voice making me look at him. He stood by the closet with his hands on his waist. "I'm done. Wanna cuddle with your super hot boyfriend now?""That depends on my super hot boyfriend."His smile turned amused. "What do you mean?""Uhm...." I began nervously as I sat up and folded my legs. I didn't trust my head so, voicing out my thoughts was a better option for me. "What favour were you and your mom talking about?""It's nothing

×Higan×"Have you calmed down?" I asked softly as I reached out and stroked Jamie's cheek."Yeah," he answered, taking hold of my hand and leaning into my touch for a moment. "That's good." I sighed and withdrew my hand. "Jamie, I trust you and there's no reason for me to think that you want to leech off me. The reason I didn't tell you is because I want to be treated as a regular person. Only Adam knows about this and if you haven't noticed, my position attracts all sorts of fake people.""Aren't you already attracting such people with this fancy car and your designer clothes?" He teased halfheartedly."Being fairly well-to-do and being filthy rich are two different things. Of course, people would love to be friends with the wealthy but I'd be surrounded by ass kissers and the media would not give me peace. Some people go as far as talking down on my hard work because I have 'connections'.""I have seen you do your best plenty of times so, I can't think that way. Why didn't you tell

×Jamie×Spending my birthday with Higan was amazing. Even though it was just one addition to the party, it felt like a huge barrier had been broken. I've never seen my sisters be so friendly to someone else before and the interaction was adorable.I watched as the twins and Higan played a boardgame that Higan won twice already. The twins were focused as they discussed strategies while Higan looked like he could play it with his eyes closed.He should probably go easy on them since they are children, but Darcy would kill me if I said that out loud.My attention went to Marcy, who was still eating a piece of my birthday cake. Her eyes were on the board and her next move had Higan getting a little tense. I chuckled to myself. Having Marcy come around and actually have fun with Higan was like a breath of fresh air.I'm probably supposed to be happier than this. My family knows that I'm dating a guy and seem to be okay with it. My boyfriend and I have the chance to be affectionate in front

×Jamie×A gentle breeze blew into the room through large open windows that were on the wall on my right and a tall bookshelf that was neatly occupied by various books stood behind Mr. Parker's desk. The exit was on the far left - leaving me with no way to leave unnoticed.Three lantern-like chandeliers hang above us on the wooden ceiling. The walls were forest green and on his table were various books, a steaming cup of coffee and pens inside a white mug that had been scribbled over by a child with a blue marker.The setting of the room was calm and peaceful although my heart was anything but those things. My lower lip was probably swollen from all the biting it had to endure on my way here and I failed to fight the habit, especially in this situation.I was given a cup of coffee as well, but the tight knots in my stomach prevented me from tasting it. I looked up from my cup to the man seated in front of me. This was my first time seeing Higan's father and he had a strong intimidating

×Higan×A loud yawn escaped me as I sat up and stretched my arms above my head. The sun was already high in the sky and it's brightness lit up every corner of my bedroom. I groggily looked around and noticed that Jamie wasn't in the room. "Looking for me?" Jamie asked and I looked at the direction of the bathroom door. He was walking towards me with a towel on his head and another wrapped around his waist."Yeah. You're from taking a shower?" I asked, my eyes dropping to the towel around his waist. "Nope. I just woke up to pee.""And the towel on your head?""I just put it there after washing my face." He removed both towels from his body and put them on the nightstand before sliding under the covers. "It's past nine, by the way." "Good morning," I said before planting a soft kiss on his forehead. "We can take our bath together, if you're up for it."He chuckled. "Sounds like a good idea." He put his arm over my stomach. "I had a great night. I'm a little sad that I will have to go
