BACK TO SCHOOL"Hey, Ema," Talia said, wrapping her arm around Cristina's shoulder. "I'm happy to see you. I've missed you."Cristina teased, "I don't think so."Talia laughed. "I really missed you," she said, and Cristina smiled."I missed you too. How was your holiday?" Cristina asked."I really enjoyed my holiday, but a lot of things happened. We'll talk after class," Talia said as they started walking to their classroom."I've missed this," Cristina said as they walked inside.She glared at Lucky, who was seated on the other side, and he smiled back. Cristina returned the smile and sat next to Lia."What is he doing in our class?" Lia whispered to Cristina, who shrugged her shoulders.Talia looked at Lucky, who was still gazing at Cristina with a smile, oblivious to everything else."What is he staring at exactly?" Lia asked, rolling her eyes and opening her books as the teacher walked in.They greeted him, and he responded with a smile. "Welcome back, I hope you all had a lovely

Padlock

"Emma!" Talia said, handing a necklace to Cristina. "Uncle Dave said I should give this to you.""Where did he get this?" Cristina asked, examining the necklace."That, you have to ask him," Talia replied with a smile as they walked out of school.Cristina's eyes narrowed. "My mom sold this necklace. I wonder where Dave found it." She gazed at the necklace, noticing the unopened padlock. "You'll have to ask him yourself. I have to go; I'll see you tomorrow,"Talia said,before hugging Cristina and rushing to her car.Cristina smiled, relieved. "At least it's back in my hands."Just then, Lucky appeared before her. "Hey, can I take you home?"Cristina blinked, surprised. "I thought you already left."Lucky chuckled. "No, I was just giving some notes to Miss Maw.""Okay, I didn't know," Cristina said, taking a deep breath and smiling. "You don't have to take me; I'll walk. It's not that long.""I insist," Lucky said firmly.Cristina smiled. "I'd like your help, but remember you have note

LONDON *Alex's Office*Alex sat behind his mahogany desk, his eyes fixed on Diana across from him. His lawyers, James and Rachel, flanked him, their expressions neutral.Diana's smile seemed to hide a calculated intensity. "Alex, darling, I'm glad we could discuss this in person."Alex's jaw clenched. "Let's get to it, Diana. The shares."James cleared his throat. "As you know, Ms. Diana, Alex's father stipulated that the shares would be transferred to him upon marriage to you."Diana's eyes sparkled. "Yes, and I'm willing to make concessions. I'll give Alex 40% controlling interest, provided we marry within three months."Rachel whispered to Alex, "That's lower than expected, but still a significant stake."Alex's gaze never left Diana. "I'm not interested."Diana's smile faltered. "Alex, be reasonable. This is a business arrangement. We can—""I won't marry you, Diana," Alex interrupted, his voice firm. "I don't care about the shares."James and Rachel exchanged uneasy glances.Dia

Cumming harder in his hands

{ I want you} At Dave's penthouse, Cristina watched as he made coffee for her. Now wearing his t-shirt, she felt the warmth of the house envelop her. "Are you going to tell me why you were at my house?" she asked when he placed the cup in front of her. "No, I don't think that's important now," Dave replied. Cristina rolled her eyes, prompting Dave to say, "Don't roll your eyes at me, baby girl." His gaze intensified. "Are you okay, though?" he asked, concern etching his voice. She nodded, looking down. "I'm fine, thank you for coming over. Maybe if you hadn't, I'd still be standing in the rain." Dave's voice took on a promising tone. "I'm always here if you need me, never leaving your side." Cristina's heart skipped a beat, unsure how to process his words. She met his gaze, but his expression remained enigmatic. Clearing her throat, she sipped her coffee. "Thank you, Dave. That means a lot," she said. Dave chuckled. "You don't have to thank me, Emma." Cristina smiled. "What

I honestly didn't know

Cristina's PVO .. "I want you." "You're so handsome." [giggling] "I mean, you're so hot." "You're drunk; you might regret this in the morning." "I...I want to kiss your lips; they look so appetizing." God, I can barely get out of this bed. Everything's replaying in my head like a broken record. Why did I do that? What's wrong with me? I just cheated on my boyfriend with my best friend. I let him touch me like that... and God knows what else. "No, Emma, don't even think about it," I told myself. I wish I could forget this and not feel this way. How am I going to face Him? And how will I face Lucky after this? All I feel is guilt. I hate lies, and I don't think I can lie to Lucky when I see him. But the question remains: why did I allow that? I can't blame the wine entirely; I was drunk, but something drew me to him. I couldn't control myself, not after the way he looked at me. And why did he let it happen? He could have pushed me away or ignored my kisses, but he kissed me ba

can't stop thinking about the kiss

IN LOVE WITH MYBEST FRIEND 37 ........Cristina's mom knocked on her door and entered. She looked at Cristina, who was staring at her books, seated at the table in the corner of her room. Cristina lifted her head and met her mother's gaze before licking her lips."Good morning, Mom," Cristina greeted in a low tone."Where did you sleep last night?" her mother asked."At Dave's place," Cristina responded, looking down."Aren't you going to school?" her mother continued."I'm already late; I can't go," Cristina replied, biting her lip."Cristina, you're getting out of hand," her mother said firmly. "First, you lost your job for no reason, then you slept at a man's house, and now you're not going to school. What's your problem?"Cristina swallowed hard, looking down. "I'm sorry, Mom."Her mother clicked her tongue. "You should look for another job. I won't be able to support both of us; things are tough for me right now.""Yes, Mom," Cristina nodded."Good. When you

Breaking our friendship

She breathed in and out, walking closer to him. "Hi," she said, avoiding eye contact. "What are you doing here?""You've been ignoring me," Dave said."Can you look at me and tell me what's going on?" he asked.She finally met his gaze, her eyes locking with his grey ones. She sucked in a deep breath."What are you doing here, Dave?" she asked again."I miss you," Dave admitted.She couldn't respond, but her thoughts betrayed her: "I miss you too.""You need to leave," she said, attempting to walk past him, but he grasped her hand, halting her."Emma," he called, his deep, husky voice sending shivers down her spine.She turned, meeting his intense gaze. His face was etched with emotions – sadness, longing – and his eyes had darkened to a deep grey."At least say something. You can't keep pushing me away for one mistake we both made," Dave pleaded."I have nothing to say to you," Emma replied, trying to free her hand from his grasp."Let go," she urged, her voice rising."No," Dave gro

,_Flash back_ "Dave, you're cheating! That's my turn!" Cristina said, pouting her lips. "No, I didn't cheat. Look," Dave replied, pointing at the board they were drawing on. "I drew the leg, and you're supposed to draw its hands." "But I don't know how," Cristina admitted. Dave chuckled. "And whose fault is that?" he teased, his face twisted in a smirk. Cristina rolled her eyes. "Fine, I'll do this." She lifted the paint stick and began drawing, but soon, paint splattered all over her face. "Oh God, what the hell!" she screamed, and Dave burst out laughing at her paint-covered face. "Are you laughing at me?" Cristina asked, getting furious. Dave remained silent. "Dave, do something! Some paint is getting in my eyes," Cristina pleaded. "Go wash it off over there," Dave suggested, pointing to the poolside. Cristina hastily rinsed her face, and Dave continued chuckling. "You're so dramatic, baby girl. You should have handled things gently. Now your face is a mess," Dave teas

Break up

"What did she just say?" Lucky asked, walking closer to Cristina and Talia.Cristina's heart raced as she swallowed hard. "What am I going to say?" she thought to herself, fear creeping in."I...I...Lucky...I can explain," Cristina stammered." Were you listening to us all along?" Talia asked, arms folded."Yes," Lucky replied, his gaze fixed on Cristina."Since he already heard everything, there's no need for you to explain anything to him," Talia said."She slept with the man she loves; you should back off, boy," Talia added.Cristina gasped in shock, looking at Talia."Lia," Cristina said, shocked."What?" Talia responded. "Isn't that what happened?"Cristina shook her head, not believing her sometimes Lia says something's just to piss you off and if you're not a fan of her you will really get angry."Can you give us some privacy, Lia?" Cristina asked.Talia glanced at Lucky, then nodded and walked out, leaving the two alone."I'm sorry," Cristina said.Lucky moved closer, standing

Kissing his ex

Cristina gazed at Lucky, seated across the classroom, oblivious to her presence. When he declared their breakup, she thought anger fueled his words and he'd come around. But Lucky proved her wrong, maintaining distance.Every attempt to talk ended with him walking away, piercing her heart.She swallowed hard, focusing on her books. Maybe it was time to let go. If he wanted to forgive her, he would in his own time.After class, Cristina escaped to the school stadium, feeling lonely without her friend and the one she'd sacrificed their friendship for, now gone."Just great, Emma," she muttered, tears welling up. She hastily wiped them away. "I'm not going to cry. I'm big. I'm fine alone."But conviction crumbled as she burst into tears."But...it hurts...I miss him," she sobbed.Longing overwhelmed her."I wish...I..." Tears choked her words.One and a half months without her friend felt like an eternity. She yearned for his gentle side, now lost forever due to her mistakes.Desperate t
