The guy let go of her immediately and staggered away. Serena caught Hadley before she could fall on the floor."What is wrong with you? How did you get here? Who's that guy?" She asked different questions at once even though she knew it was useless. She fixed all her attention on Hadley."SC…SC, is that …" Hadley hiccuped as she tried to confirm if it was Serena."Just look at you, you're wasted. Hold on to me, I'll get you out of here." Serena put her hand over her shoulder in an attempt to guide her away from there."You know you need some help. Just say it." Jaxon stood there with his arms folded.Serena huffed and tilted her head backwards, "I don't know what makes you think you're some sort of superhero, kindly stay out of my business."Hadley fell off from her grip and Jaxon hurried to cat h her immediately. Serena held Hadley on one end, while he supported from the other.They both stared at each other for a while, their silence carried anger, uncertainty and numerous unsaid st

The Chicken Pot was one of those restaurants she'd thought she'd only visit if she had more money. It has opened a few years back. All the average folks thought their expensive food prices would drop since it was closer to a demographic that couldn't afford their food, but it never changed. Instead their business flourished and they only added more expensive menus. Most of the rich guys could place orders or drive down to the main restaurant after making reservations of course.Jaxon met her at the park, he took long quick strides towards her in his Adidas sneakers, black jeans and a striped shirt with a hood. He had this look on his face where he was trying not to smile, his movements were bouncy. He felt cool in his head. Serena shook her head and rolled her eyes as he got to where she had been standing. That was where the Uber had dropped her. She was wearing the brown halter top and flared jeans Hadley had planned out for her, but she wore low heels instead of a Converse. Her ha

Jaxon stopped his car in front of the building that housed Hadley's apartment. "Do I have to come in with you?" He asked as she hung her bag on her shoulder."You couldn't even pick me up, a gentle man wouldn't ask questions. He'd just act." Serena pointed out."I said I was busy," Jaxon folded his lips into a thin line, he was resting in his hand on the raised compartment between their seats and leaning to her side a bit."With your web development thingy," Serena made some spider movements with her fingers.Jaxon sat up, "oh my God, you do remember. I forgot to ask you, how's your internship going and your uncle and aunt?"Serena froze for a second, she had told him that? She could remember faintly, she had mentioned it at the dinner. "What internship?""I also remember you not agreeing that you were drunk when you told me about it." He chuckled."I don't know what you're talking about," she scratched her hair and moved the ones that were over her shoulders backwards."You're stayi

As Serena and Melvin left the café, the evening breeze carried a sense of relief. While the romantic entanglement between them had been resolved, their friendship had remained intact. Serena couldn't help but feel grateful for Melvin's understanding and the way he had handled the situation with grace.They walked together down the bustling streets of St. Lucas, sharing stories and laughter along the way. Serena felt a sense of ease and comfort in Melvin's company, something she had missed in the whirlwind of emotions with Jaxon.As they reached the corner where they would part ways, Serena turned to Melvin with a genuine smile. "Thank you, Melvin, for being so understanding. You're a true friend."Melvin returned her smile, his eyes warm and sincere. "Serena, you're an amazing person, and I'm glad we can still be friends. Take care of yourself, okay?"They exchanged a friendly hug before going their separate ways, Serena felt lighter and more at peace than she had in days.The text sh

Her body was craving for him to be faster, but she knew how these men could be, they would tease you and play around. That was Jaxon's typical behavior, so she didn't have to be surprised he would be an expert here.Jaxon stepped back and dropped the blouse on the settee. His footsteps were light as he moved to stand in front of her. Her eyes were closed, it was quite amusing how she could just mellow anytime he was this close to her, but for some reason, even though he knew he had kissed her before and maybe almost fucked her in the car, he still respected her and withheld from just engaging her in such activity.He was going to ask her if he could kiss her because god, he badly wanted to. Yet, he didn't see her as someone he could treat just anyhow. He could see she wanted it too, but to what extent. Serena was unpredictable. He inhaled and braced himself up for her reaction."Can I kiss you?" He said quietly, so softly, if not that the night seemed to be working in their accord, sh
