Cravings のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Seth quickly jumped into action the moment I told him it was an emergency and we needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible.I felt depressed, my entire body shivering as I thought of the worst instances that might have happened to Brianna. I knew it might not be as bad as I thought, and I tried to convince myself that it wasn’t.“Mrs. Thatcher… Mrs. Thatcher…” Seth called out to me softly; at first, I did not hear as my head remained clouded with harsh possibilities. “Mrs. Thatcher…”“Seth, is there anything you need?” I asked him, and he tried to turn and face me for a short time before facing the road. “You haven’t told me which hospital we are heading to,” Seth reminded me.“Oh no, I am so sorry." I quickly apologized as I searched my phone for Melissa’s message, in which she promised to send the hospital name for me. “Uhm, it is Hyacinth Teaching Hospital."“All right,” Seth said as I turned off the screen of my phone. As the traffic light signaled red and the car came to

Brianna sat up on the bed as she saw us gathered in the room. With a weak smile on her face, she had tried to welcome us. Her leg was cast due to the injury from the accident, and so was her neck as she was wearing a cervical collar. I was yet to be told what accident it was, but it seemed to have been pretty bad as she had bruises in a few places. “Brianna, I am so glad you are all right,” I exclaimed as I rushed to sit next to the side of her bed. I know I can dislike her sometimes for a host of reasons, but Brianna was the best person beside me in my heart, and she got this because of how she has stuck by me in times I did try to push her away. "Oh, now you care for her,” Melissa said, folding her arms. “Thank you all for coming to see me, Melissa, Louisa, and Miles." Brianna's smile increased as she said Miles name. She continued with that same energy. “Scarlett and my baby,” she said with much enthusiasm at the end as she opened her arms for Christian to jump in. "Brianna, dea

Michael lifted me and made me sit on his lap as we went back to kissing again. I felt my body igniting those tingly sensations, but it wasn’t long-lasting; it kept coming and going at the same time, maybe because I had grown too tired of the kisses and wanted more from him.Michael slid his hand under my shirt while maintaining eye contact. He unclasped my bra, and I felt my nipple raise with the slight touch of his fingers. Michael took his time watching me plead with my eyes. I was on the verge of taking his hands and just making him grab them.At that same moment, Michael's phone vibrated from his pocket. He took it out, and on seeing the caller, he suddenly became serious. He held my lips to keep silent while he took the call.Whoever it seemed to be more important than me, I grew tired of waiting as I lost momentum and just slid my way out of his laps and sat on the chair. He hung up soon after, and by then I had

 I was completely freaking out, having no exact clue how I would be able to manage this at all.Pretend like nothing happened; pretend like nothing happened...He didn't see anything; nothing was seen...You have this Scarlett; all you have to do is summon courage and face him, pretend as if nothing happened, and make him feel guilty for entering your room without permission.Or I thought it would be."Scarlett, I thought you wanted to get Brianna a glass of water?" Vanessa asked as I came down the stairs with a different outfit from what I wore earlier. She noticed and proceeded to ask, "Did something happen? Why did you need an outfit change?"It was as if I had a box of lies stored in my head for urgent need as I replied immediately, "I spilled water on my shirt when I was bringing Brianna's water; I will get it now," I said."That won't be necessary; I already

I hastily went down the stairs, as Vanessa had come to tell me in the room that Michael had been requesting it for me and that it was urgent. The frown on my face when I realized I had been tricked.“Come here." Michael held my arm and pulled me closer into the circle of conversation going on between him, Seth, Bella, and somewhat Carmela; she was standing around there as well.I froze as I was reminded of that day Seth had seen me like it was yesterday—it was yesterday.“Mrs. That—” I thought I heard Seth almost say before Bella happily jumped in and greeted instead.“Good morning,” I answered, still trying to keep my composure while trying to avoid Seth’s gaze, which I must say was pretty, very hard.Michael went straight to the point, which caught me off-guard, as he said, “My wife and I were thinking of inviting the two of you to our island this
