《Just the both of us》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 10 章

Paloma~ I guess not every interest I had in Douchebag McMatthews went out the window, because I googled him the second I was alone within the confines of the apartment and by God did he have one hell of a smile and eight pacs, what freakish exercises gave him that, he was hot and also stinking rich, heck his father owned Capricorn, one the biggest leading pharmaceuticals in the United States. I was delusional to think that he didn't stand a chance with me, when all along the roles had been reversed, not with my constantly matted black hair and dirty brown eyes, my full curvy body didn't make me any better, he probably had models at his beck and call. I was just another fresher with a Mom who took more pills than was good for her and he was a hot second year football Jock with an outstanding grade point average and everything he could possibly want, I didn't need anyone to tell me my place. Besides I had other things to worry about, Mom was at Rehab again and if I didn't want to

Paloma WilliamsA strange silence hung between us, I waited for the punchline with bated breath, what did he mean by gone, could she be-"They said she escaped the facility and hasn't been seen ever since." Sal interrupts my train of thoughts. "We are putting up a search party to go look for her but I just-, I just wanted to let you know.""Sal" I say exhaling. "Do you want me back home?, Is there anything I can do?""No." he says and I can hear his voice breaking. "You've worked too hard to leave here, I cannot drag you back here, Just let me know if she contacts you.""I will"l." I say. "She'll turn up Sal."It was hard for me to break like he did, harder for me to panic and fall apart because I knew her, she'd probably run off with a stash of cash that she'd stolen from us or a random stranger, she'd be hitting her spots getting high and being happy at our expense, I'd learnt a long time ago not to give her the satisfaction of manipulating my feelings. She didn't get to break me."S

Paloma WilliamsA strange sort of silence hung between us save for the heavy blaring of loud music blasting from the radio, his fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly only releasing to tap to the beat which I found slightly irritated, as it only has seemed to aggravate the tension."You said we would talk." I say finally breaking the thick tension between us. "So talk." "Hmm." He grunted and his hands gripped the steering wheel even tighter. "Say something." I demand. "Or you can drop me off.""No." He said begrudgingly. "I offered a ride, I'm not leaving you stranded in the middle of nowhere.""Then talk to me." I say exparsated. "I don't need this gruff and silent shit, I have plenty of my own crap to figure out.""Something's are better left unsaid." He said simply. "There are things you can't know, not yet.""And yet here I am!" I groan annoyed. "In a car with you going to see my druggie fucked up mother, your fucking crap must be ten times worse I'm sure."If he was affect

Paloma~The silence and heavy set tension could be cleaved in two with a big knife. I felt the sting of it more than anyone and I hoped for the sake of my fractured dignity it remained that nonsense didn't spew out from her."Can believe Sal?" She says.I guess it was too much to ask for, I shook silently praying for her to swallow the insanity that seemed to pour from her fractured thinking. "Shoulda known the motherfucker was up to something." She continues. "The bugger must be creeping up all over the place."I'd forgotten just how much she infuriated me and in a the short while that we'd spent together, she'd managed to remind me of just how much I couldn't stand her. "Yh." I say. "He must have gotten all the best views of your gutter stained panties when he was hauling your drunk ass home, because that's just the kind of man Sal is.""Yeah." She says completely oblivious of my comments. "We should have him reported.""For what?" I say louder. "Cleaning up your fucking mess all t

Paloma~The faint knock on the apartment door had me tingling with something I didn't dare admit to myself. It seemed kind of ridiculous for me to pace about amd yet it was the only thing keeping me sane.My hopes were dashed once again, twice it should have been him and twice it wasn't. I send the pizza guy away with a rather meagre tip even though it was clearly not his fault that Orion was a no-show. Hours seemed to pass by perceptively but the clock said he was only minutes late. Each moment sort of taunted me and under the lush and beautiful girl in the black lush dress, a sliver of my old self stared back in astonishment.The long wait finally won over any sort of niceties and excitement I'd dreamed up, it'd been foolish of me to believe that he'd-The sound of a light faint knock had whatever thought that I had wrenched out of me, my feet quickened as I opened the door.There he was, rocking off the casual look with faint illumination of the moon echoing away in his eyes, eyes
