Semua Bab Our Surface: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Anna’s POVHe was there, on the other side of the street, staring straight at me, and if I hadn't known better I might have thought he was going to walk over to say hello. Then that truck drove past us in the middle of nowhere and he was gone. A gust of wind blew his way and I shivered, even though it wasn’t particularly chilly out. It felt as if I was standing on a precipice looking down at a bottomless pit, and no amount of willpower or will could keep me from falling off. There was nothing here for me except my thoughts and memories. He had been there, and now he wasn’t, and it had all happened before I could even get started. The sound of the front door opening brought me back to earth. “Hey! Are you ready yet?” Erica's voice echoed around me but only made it worse somehow because I knew exactly what kind of energy she had to bring with her into a room like this. She came into view, her arms filled with plastic bags, and looked up at me expectantly. When she saw me standing th

Anna’s POV“You look excited to see me” his voice reeked of sarcasm and his body language screamed indifference as he leaned against the barricade, arms folded in front of him, one foot tapping the floor impatiently. The words rolled out of his mouth like he didn’t have a care in the world but I still knew what he was doing, he was trying to provoke me. I could feel it.“Jesus! you shouldn't sneak up on people like that ” My hand flew to my chest where I felt my heart beating rapidly. “You’re lucky I didn't break something” I scowled at him while mumbling the last part and hoping he didn't hear me.He did, though. His lips curled into an even more sinister smile as if he had won some sort of game with himself. It made me madder and made me angry. So much so, I couldn't speak for fear of unleashing another string of profanities. He just kept smirking like he knew what he'd done, but I wasn't about to say anything else. Not today, anyways. Maybe not ever.“Why are you always so jumpy

Anna’s POV“Get out!” His voice was loud, more commanding than the thundering of waves on rocks, but no less threatening to the man in front of me.I panicked, and without a word, I opened the car and stepped out into the rain. It wasn't just raining, it was pouring. The wind howled over my head, whipping at my long hair and whipping through my clothes with gusto. My arms were still wrapped around me tightly, like a cocoon, but I couldn't be any colder. My shoes squelched loudly as they hit the wet pavement, and the sound seemed amplified somehow by the silence of this empty street.He drove off.He fucking drove off.I knew I asked him to stop the car, but I didn't mean it.I looked around frantically. No one was here. It was just me and the car. And the puddles and the rain. And...nothing else. I crossed over to the other side of the street, it looked like a mini-mart but it was closed, the CLOSED sign couldn't have been any bolder. A few cars moved down the road, but none slowed

Anna’s POVWhatever that sound was, had played a significant role in snapping me out of my thoughts, out of dreamland, and bringing me back to reality within a twinkle of an eye and I ran out of the car as if it was on fire. It wasn't the best idea in the world, but there weren’t many options open to me right now. I couldn't believe we had gone from taking down each other's heads to almost kissing twice, all in one evening.The situation was too surreal to wrap my brain around. He didn't run after me, it was disappointing but he didn't and yet I could feel him watching me from his car, probably wondering what was up with me and why did I suddenly change my mind? You wish he was wondering that. You're jealous, the little voice in my head mocked me. The voice belonged to me because this wasn't like me at all. My rational side knew this better than anyone so I tried to push away that voice, but it would not let go. It always made itself known in the end.It was different from the othe

Caden’s POV“I want to kiss you” Those words flowed through my veins like wildfire, heating every part of my body from top to toe, until they reached deep down into my soul. I thought I'd never hear such an offer from her or ever think it would be so tempting. Yet it happened; my mouth watered just thinking about it. I looked away quickly, trying to keep my cool. What she had said wasn't true. The alcohol must've been affecting her because I wasn't sure if I heard her right. Or maybe the little alcohol had affected my ability to focus because, at first, I didn't realize the gravity behind her words.If it were some other person, I would kiss them right now. They wouldn't have lasted that long to be in a car with me, and I wouldn't offer them random rides back home just because I wanted to.I have never wanted to.I don't know what this was, my lust level was crazy and I had never waited patiently like this just to have sex with a woman, never.My head snapped back up. “You are drunk
