~Aoife~ “Aoife, come out,” Clara screamed. “How am I looking?” I answered with a nervous tone. “Super hot, babe. I hope we will find some hotties at the party.” She winked at me. We tried dozens of dresses. It took us four hours to choose only two dresses for us. We took our shopping bags and went to grab a quick lunch. Two days back, Clara busted my door. After I came from the hospital, it lost me with unnecessary stress. We can’t control things like Caleb’s health and Xander’s unpredictable nature, but there she popped up at my door with a piece of good news. She told me about her sister’s engagement with her love of life. She invited me to her sister’s engagement party, and I found this opportunity could be my rescue from my current situation. I accepted her invitation, and here we are shopping around. She insisted I come shopping with her as her sister and mother were busy with ceremony arrangements. According to her, her family is extensive, and most members will join this

~Aoife~ It’s hard to know who Xander is to me. One moment he was the worst, and the next, he behaved like a perfect gentleman. He made me cry, and today he made me blush with his gaze. His piercing gaze was telling some hidden story. That was the first time I was not scared of him when I saw a glimpse of emotions, or should I say, the first time I looked closely into his glossy brown eyes. Matt was right about him. If he wanted, he could behave like a gentleman. I loved the way he tried to hide my back with my hair. He is protective of his unique way. I genuinely enjoyed dancing with him. There was something in his touch that gave me chills. Whether or not I accept it, something strange was going on between us. His protective nature or possessiveness always surprised me. He rolled his eyes when we were disturbed by Zareena. It felt like Zareena peeled him from my hand. I needed to control this emotional ride; after all, he was not mine. With a deep breath, I started dancing wit

~Aoife~ Something was nice about my bed today; I relaxed as everything near me was so cozy and soft. I fluttered my eyes and adjusted my cornea to the morning light. The cool fresh breeze was coming from somewhere, and a soothing sensation alerted my mind. The sight was not similar to my dorm, nor did I keep white curtains. It popped my eyes out in pure horror as I couldn’t recognize the surroundings I was in right now; I immediately pushed the blanket out of my body and jumped out of the bed; It terrified me to death. This room wasn’t mine; where the hell am I? Slowly, I turned around and looked at the whole place; it captured my mind in the same confused state. Why is nobody there? The last thing I remembered was that Zach and I discussed him taking me out. But does that mean we spent a night together in a hotel? I noticed that the room was beautiful and luxurious; the furniture, large windows, a vast bed, and paintings. It was definitely a hotel room. SHIT, I pulled my hair i

~Aoife~ Everything was changing. Is it because of Xander or me? The hassle we had between us changed into something. A feeling of easy-going took over our hearts. He was changing, and I never knew I had started liking his weird company with me. He was challenging me in a way I had never imagined. He made me jump off the cliff, knowing how much I feared water. And after my trip to the hospital, it was more than a nightmare for me. After this unexpected crazy action, I walked towards the car, cursing him for what he had done. The words he husked over me, saying he would not let nothing happen to me, caught me. Standing so close to him, I couldn’t think of anything else. His presence affects me so much in a way I never felt before. Our body was so close to each other, and all I wanted was to melt under his warmth. Why is he doing this to me? He is not my guy; I wanted a loyal man, and he is far from it. He already has a girlfriend. I walked away, keeping my vitals in control. I slamm

~ Aoife~ We came to our cottage as Zach was continually chatting with us. It was strange yesterday; I was drooling over him for his looks, and today, I felt annoyed by him. Is it because of Xander? Well, I got annoyed by Xander too. What to say, my mind is a fluctuating machine. “Thanks for joining; you can do your workout now,” With a mustered smile, I answered Zach. He agreed as he went for an outdoor workout. All the members were sleeping, I guess. “Would you like to eat something?” I asked Xander. We entered the house, silent with a bit of warmth from the outside environment. “Yeah, I am damn hungry.” He crashed on the couch
