You Are Mine For Keeps. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

"Still, I'm sorry it ended the way it did." Daisy said."He's a great guy. But then, I guess it's fine this way. Besides, I’m not ready for the stress and demands of a complicated relationship right now. I’m working a lot. I’m not stable enough yet to be fucked up in the head. Her lips pursed. "You might want to think about that, too." Daisy nodded, understanding where she was coming from and not disagreeing, but still unwavering in her decision to see her relationship with Brett through. "Brett knows me. He understands and tries to work around my issues. He’s working for this, too, U.U. It’s not easy for him, either." Daisy explained."So, between us, do you think Lexington had sex with his ex? Ugo asked bluntly. "No.""Are you sure, Daisy baby?"Sucking in a deep breath, Daisy took a fortifying gulp and admitted, "Mostly. I think I’m the one doing it for him now. It’s pretty hot with us, you know. But his ex has some kind of hold on him. He says it's guilt....""And that explai

Daisy's back hit the mat with enough force to knock the air from her lungs. Stunned, she blinked up at the ceiling, trying to catch her breath. Pith looked at her and shook his head. "I don't think today is a good day for you, Daisy." Around them, a dozen more of Pith's Karate students were hard at work. The studio was alive with noise and activity and Daisy knew her instructor was right. Her thoughts were somehow still stuck on Lana, even though she wanted to let it go. But she was yet to understand why Brett would refuse to offer an explanation. The weekend they spent in Paris had been blissful. They were in sync and when he was done with work, he had joined them in Paris and they got back together just as he stated. Something in her heart had believed that Brett might open up and speak to her about her suspicion but he didn't and it somehow kept her at edge for a very long time. "I’ve got something on my mind." Daisy replied and Pith tapped her gently on the shoulder. "Just

Daisy felt like she was in the small dark room again. She couldn’t breathe. She tried to scream, but something blocked her nose and covered her mouth. A high-pitched moan was the only sound that managed to escape her lips. Her frantic calls for help were trapped inside her mind. "Get off me! Stop it! Don’t touch me! Oh, God.... please don’t do that to me."Julian's hand covered her mouth, mashing her lips. The weight of his body pressed down on her, squashing her head into the pillow. The more she fought, the more excited he became. Choking her."You haven’t felt pain yet. But you will." Daisy froze. Awareness hit her like a bucket of ice water. She knew that voice. "Brett. No!" Her blood roared in her ears and sickness spread through her gut. Bile flooded her mouth. The feeling this time was worse, so much worse, when the person trying to unalive you was someone you trusted with everything you had. She heard Jason Pith's barked commands and remembered the basics. Quickly she atta

After a while, Daisy stood up and went back to her room, the very one that Brett had furnished for her. Pausing on the threshold, she took in a piece of her that Brett had created as her sanctuary. A place she could run to whenever she was angry instead of running away from him. Since she was always running. "But not anymore," She whispered.Setting her workout bag and purse on the bed, she showered and changed into one of the simple T-shirts she found in her wardrobe.She tried not to think about why he still wasn’t home. He said he was going for his appointment with Dr. Violet, but he should have been home by now. She poured herself a glass of wine and turned on the living room television when her smartphone rang, a call from Ugo"Hello." She answered, grateful to be speaking to the one person that had stood with her and prevented her from hitting ground zero for the past few weeks. "U.U, what's up?""You aren't home, and I brought cupcakes." Daisy smiled. "You know where I am." Sh

Brett took a seat on the edge of the mattress, and a moment later his fingers drifted across Daisy's cheek. "How did you sleep?" "I missed you." She replied. "Is that coffee for me?" She asked as the smell of coffee wafted through her nostrils. "If you’re a good girl, then yes." Her eyes popped open. "But you like me being a bad girl." He smiled."I like you being a bad girl when you're with me, Daisy. Now, tell me about this show you were talking about.""It's a quick show. Ray is myself and Ugo's friend. His band is having a show right here in Fairview and he sent Ugo some tickets. That’s all I know. Do you want to go?""The mayor's cousin." Brett murmured. "The one that couldn't wait for you to step away from me at the fundraiser. He even had a dance with you." He added."Can't you just forget certain things?"Brett shook his head. "Not when it has to do with you.""So, do you want to go?" Daisy asked again."It’s not a question of whether I want to go. If you’re going, so am I.
