*Nathaniel*Levi being out with my girlfriend still bothered me. Sure it was in a group setting but people there either thought they were together and wanted them to be together. How annoying was that?I was happy when I heard the elevator ding. I smiled seeing Willow walking over to me. She kissed me deeply. “I missed you.” She smiled. “I missed you too, sweetheart.” We retreated to my room. “So how did it go?”“Um, really well, I think. No arguments, no crying, no glasses broken. I’d say it was a successful night. And Avery and Skyler see what I see which is great.”“And how did Levi’s bio family take finding out you and him aren't actually a couple?” “About that,” Willow forced a laugh. “Um, we didn’t tell them. They might think we’re madly in love.”“And why would they think that?”“Well I think Levi was just a little nervous about telling them that we lied to them. And then to say we’re not together after the kiss-”“Kiss?” I asked. “What kiss are you talking about?”“Don't g

*Willow*I felt like all eyes were on me. Even though Anya was stunning and looked like a model, she might as well have not even been there. Even Jude wasn’t paying that much attention to her. “So Willow here is my intern and she’s the most brilliant woman I have ever met,” Jude started. “Willow tell them about the colors.”“Oh um…well I believe that colors can draw a customer in with marketing. So with men colors like green and blue are appealing and with women they like brighter colors. Reds, yellows, even oranges.”“Huh, I never thought of that,” The man next to Jude said. “And how did you come up with that theory?”“Honestly, it was me and Nathaniel. We were talking about how even though certain colors aren’t our favorites, we notice we still gravitate towards them.” I smiled and patted his thigh.“Willow’s favorite color is purple but she loves things that are advertised in yellow,” Nathaniel informed everyone.“I hear you two are forces to be reckoned with,” The man across fro

*Willow*How do I trust him now?How was I supposed to look in Nathaniel’s eyes and believe him after he’d lied to me?Sure, a part of me understood. Anya kissed him, he pushed her away and then a fire ensued, so the kiss became less important, but for me it was the lie. Why was it so easy for Nathaniel to lie to me, and how didn’t I see it?Was I too deep in love? Had I given Nathaniel too much too soon? There was a knock on my door that broke me out of my thoughts.“Come in!” I called. “How you feeling?” Joy asked. “I don’t know. I hate being lied to.”“Fair, but…he fessed up right away, Will. Nathaniel loves you and he didn’t mean to hurt you. You’ve lied to him before right?”“Yeah, I guess.” I muttered. “People make mistakes sometimes, that doesn’t mean we write them off.” Joy said. “I didn’t write you guys off for lying to me all summer. Don’t do it to Nathaniel for only doing it for a weekend.”I sighed. “I guess you’re right. And he said the kiss meant nothing to him. He

*Willow*~SPRING BREAK~“Mmm…oh Vance!” I gasped. “Do that thing I like…oh yeah good girl.” Vance grinned down at me. I loved having sex with an older man. It was so thrilling and Vance always knew what he was doing. Not a lot of guys my age did. He let out a loud groan as he finished. I reached up and kissed him. “I love you.”“I love having sex with you. You’re getting pretty good at it, you know?”“I had a good teacher…and a lot of practice.” I smiled. Vance sneered. “Willow, you know I don’t like hearing about you with other men. Don’t do that shit.”“Sorry.”“You’re forgiven.”“I gotta get going. It’s mansion move-in day.” I said sitting up. “Where do your parents think you are?” Vance questioned. “With my boyfriend.”“And they don’t care that you spent the night?”“If you meet them, you’ll see we’re kind of an unorthodox family.” I laughed. “If? Willow, I thought we agreed that I would meet them tomorrow.”“I know, but…I don’t know how they’ll feel about you and I don’t

*Nathaniel*I was miserable.Life had no meaning anymore. There was no reason to laugh or smile or do anything enjoyable. My life was insignificant now.She was gone. Walked right out on me while I was begging on my knees for her. Willow was officially done with me and it was killing me. The pain was almost unbearable.But whiskey helped with that.I had a nasty hangover the next morning, but I still went to the office. I still wanted to see Willow. Unfortunately she wasn’t there.“Willow will be taking today off for…personal reasons.” Jude stated. “Did she say why?”“As I said, it's personal.”“She probably doesn’t want to see you,” Orlando sneered.Everyone else was giving me a dirty look too. I’m guessing Orlando had spread around that Willow and I broke up and why. This felt shitty. “Where is she?” I asked Joy. “She didn’t come home last night and I know she’s not with her parents.”“I don’t know, Nathaniel,” Joy sighed. “I’m worried but she says she’s safe.”“You talked to h
