BETRAYAL

CHAPTER ONEBETRAYALI slammed the door angrily, not bothering to hang the keys on its usual spot.I could say, today was the worst day of my life!First, I have another fight with Raymond, which is kind of becoming normal in our relationship.Then, my boss springs a surprise assignment on me! Now, I forgot the stupid shopping list.I snatched the list from the fridge and was about to head back to the office when I heard something that made me stop on my track.Uhmm?I tilt my head to the side, listening. It's a kind of thumping noise, coming from upstairs.Curiosity came over me as I headed up the stairs. I knew my boss wouldn't be happy if I didn't return on time, and that might make me work on weekend but I don't really care about that now. This will only take a minute or money but I will be back to the office before I know it.The sound of the trumping gets louder as I walk cautiously up the stairs. I wonder if Raymond was trying to fix a broken board or something.It comes from

Back from nowhere

CHAPTER TWOBack from nowhereI tried to get out of the bathtub but Hannah pinned me down.“Not today, you're not .” Hannah gets out of the tub, looking grim. “I'll tell your boss. Don't worry, he won't give me any trouble.”I couldn't help but chuckle. No one gives Hannah trouble and any ones who do seriously regret it.I mean who dares to get a top lawyer troubles?I don't think Roland will mind, though. He's not heartless, and I have a spotless record of him.Sure enough, a few minutes later, Hannah comes back, along with pizza and ice cream.“Roland said it's fine, he can get someone else to cover the story. He asked me to pass along his best wishes .”“Thanks.” I poured myself a glass of wine and took a sip. “I don't know what to do .”“For now, relax, drink and eat. Tomorrow, I suppose you'll be expected back at work. As I said, you can stay here as long as you need. There's no rush .”Her words are a comfort, but they don't fill the aching hole that Raymond had left inside of me

He's hiding something

CHAPTER THREEHe's hiding somethingI rolled my eyes at Dylan' words.“I have time!" I snapped.“I can't go into it all. A lot has changed for me.“Come on, Dylan. You're just suddenly back from nowhere. You're seriously not going to tell me why?“I....maybe another time.”As much as my curiosity was telling me to push, Dylan obviously doesn't want to talk about this.“For me too. Raymond, I never thought he would do that to me.”“He'll regret it .” Dylan's glare sends a shiver through me. He looked dangerous. I never thought of him this way before, but I do now.“I don't know if he will. Things weren't great between us. He may just be glad it's over.”Dylan opens his mouth to say something but closes it again. “Maybe you're right. It's his loss.”We sat in comfortable silence for a while. The waiter brings our pancakes, which are especially delicious to my hungover body.“I have some news.”Dylan hesitates, seemingly nervous. “ I've decided to move back here.”“Really?”That's wonderful

One more question

CHAPTER FOUROne more question“Thank you, ma'am. If you think of anything else, please call me.”“I will.” I take the card he's holding out.Please don't let it be Hannah or Dylan.The last thing I need is either of them being prosecuted for vandalism.Hannah was waiting inside, “What's going on?”She closed the door, pecking out of the window to make sure the officers are gone.“They said someone trashed Raymond's house. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but who will do that.“It wasn't you, then?”“No, I've been here all morning, nursing a killer hangover. Not that I wouldn't have done it, but guess someone else beat me to it.”“I think you know the people that did it, but I didn't say anything. I didn't want to implicate Hannah. Unfortunately, she knows me too well.“You know something. I can see it in your face. Spill it out.”“I don't know anything for sure ”“So you suspect, then, I'm all ears”I suppose she won't leave me alone until I tell her.“I think….it might be Dylan ”Han

Back off!!

CHAPTER FIVEBack off !!!The clicking of the laptop keys hurt my brain and my eyes. Let's not mention my ears, the sound is so irritating I wanna break the laptop but I still try to keep calm.God, why does it hurt so much?Because you drunk half of the bar, Kenzy, you idiot.I'm never drinking again.I try to focus on what I'm doing, rather than my pounding headache. The memories of Jake keep intruding. What the fuck was I even thinking? I was so close to having sex with a stranger. All in the name he looked like Dylan!And why was I even thinking about Dylan that way?He took it alright when I freaked just as he was about to get my pants down. I went back to the bar shortly afterward.It's not Jake, exactly, that's bothering me.It's the fact that I was only attracted to him because he looks like Dylan. I've gotten Dylan friendships back, and the least I could do is to ruin it with my inappropriate longings.I force myself to look back at my laptop screen. I'm looking into Daravit

Tell me the truth

CHAPTER SIX Tell me the truth My gaze are still fixed on Dylan, he looks away, I know he is trying to pretend as though what I said hadn't had any effect on him. There is a bit of silence between us and for some reasons, I'm afraid of what his answer was going to be like. Now, he knows am following him and I wouldn't give up anything soon. Dylan stiffens.“ Where did you hear that name ?” I almost laughed at his questions, “I'm an investigative journalist, Dylan. You know me, I can never leave a mystery unsolved.” I chuckled but he didn't seem to take it lightly. “So.... I guess you went digging. From our messages I guess.” He spoke precisely and I'm glad he has a current memory. “That's right!” I smirked. Dylan closed his eyes. He huffed and opens his mouth but shuts it almost immediately. His eyes are still shut and I wonder if he's praying for patience. Was he angry I was different into his personal life? The thought of that makes me want to whimper but I stood my ground an

Dinner of one

CHAPTER SEVENDinner of one“Come on, Kenzy, we're going to be late!”“I will be out in a moment.”I give up on choosing between dresses, grabbing the nearest one, and pulling it on. I was going to do something with my hair, but I procrastinated too long and it's too late.Hannah is waiting impatiently. "I don't want to be late, we'll make a bad impression.”“You do realize that we're not engaged, right? You are just filling in for Raymond because I can't have them alone. A good impression isn't necessarily. Besides, my family knows you.” I explained over the room.“I know, but I still don't want to give them any more reason to berate you than they have already.”That's true enough. My family is going to be a nightmare.Hannah drives, and all too soon, we're pulling at my mom's driveway. Marcus's car is already here. There are cars parked all along the sides of the streets. My mom always favored big gatherings.She opened the door, her eyes going from me to Hannah. Her mouth pop open

A Horrible Mistake

CHAPTER EIGHTA Horrible MistakeShit! She must have heard me screaming Dylan name. I try to come up with a lie but it's not coming forward.“I'm fine. Nothing to worry about!”Apparently, Hannah thinks from my tone that there is something to worry about because she opens the door. I'm all too aware of how flushed and disheveled I must look.“Ever heard of privacy?”“Ever heard a roommate shouting their friend's name like he's saving her from a burning building? Because I just did .”Crap!No way am I willing to confess to Hannah what I just did.“I think you are hearing things. It's probably just that wind.”Hannah's eyes narrow in suspicion.I knew it. She doesn't believe me. Well, she tells Dylan?If she does, I can kiss the dream of remaining friends with him goodbye.“You don't have to lie to him, you know. So you have the hots for Dylan. Fine. It's not like I'm going to tell him”I'm torn between shame and relief. Of course, I don't need to lie to Hannah. I know that. “Promise m

It's Over!

CHAPTER NINEIt's Over!"What did you say?""Nothing." I don't turn around to face Raymond hoping that he'll be overpowered by need and ignore my slip. "Keep going."Come on."Dylan, as in your friend, Dylan? You've left me for that loser?"No! Dylan and I aren't together. It's you I need." I turn around and try to kiss Raymond, but he gets up off the couch.You're going to have to try harder than that if you want me, Kenzy.""Fuck you, then.Without another word, I get up, pull my clothes on and storm off. He's not making me beg again. Never again.I drive back to Hannah's at a reckless speed. I know I should slow down, but I'm so horny I feel like I'm going to explode.It takes all my willpower to keep my hands on the steering wheel and not let one of them slide down to my clit.That doesn't stop me from pressing my legs together.Fuck, I need to come.I rush inside, running to my room and slamming the door behind me.I throw myself onto my bed, yanking my pants down. I reach blindl

Stalked on All Sides

CHAPTER TENStalked on All SidesI bit my lips as she asked the heavy questions again."Would he be willing to help you with this?""I don't really feel comfortable asking himthat."Why not? You've known him as long as you've known me. You two are super close. I'm sure he'd do it for you.""Maybe, but you don't know my mom. She wouldn't be satisfied with dating. She won't really leave me alone until I'm married. I'm not going to ask Dylan to marry me."At least, not when it's not real. I couldn't ask that of him, especially given my very real feelings for him.Shut up, Kenzy. You're ignoring those feelings, remember? Dylan is your friend."I suppose that is a bit much to ask. What's going on with you and Luke anyway? You haven't said a word about him in days. Usually, you never shut up about him."I can feel my face going red. "We kind of had a fight."Let me guess. He's not happy that you're still investigating him?""Not at all. Do you think I'm doing the right thing? Should I back
