All Chapters of Teach me to sin (Sins of Heldon): Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Alex was seated at the passenger side of the car looking outside; his mind utterly preoccupied. I wondered what it was that he was thinking about but he had an idea that Alex would not want to reveal his thoughts that easily.''Are you alright, Love?" I asked and Alex turned to me a small smile playing on his lips."Yeah, I'm good." He replied."Are you sure?" I asked again and he nodded.Oh well, was worth a shot I guess. I was taking Alex home. Of course, we had not left together from Heldon that would have raised a couple of eyebrows.Plus, Alex had been in the limelight of College drama twice and you could never tell who was watching him.I had driven off first and waited at an agreed location where he took a taxi to come meet me. From there we had taken my car and began to head back.Marilyn had left earlier that morning. She and Mathew were headed somewhere for a weekend getaway. It was odd that I felt a little jealous.Maybe that was because I was used to being one of the few m

The sun rays swam into the bedroom and I sighed dreamily. Tristan's arms were draped over me and pulled me in a comforting cuddle.This brought back memories. The first night that we had spent together and how I had admired the sleeping figure on the hotel bed and wished that in another lifetime we could be lovers and I wouldn't have to sneak out early in the morning after a night of passionate lovemaking.It seemed like I had been tossed into that lifetime. Here I was, under Tristan's roof, on his king sized bed, under his sheets and in his arms. It was perfect.He leaned in close and kissed my neck, his newly grown beard tickling me."Good morning, love" his thick, sleepy voice was so nice to hear."Good morning, babe. Sleep good?" I asked."I have the love of my life next to me. Of course, I slept good'' he replied and then asked, ''Did you sleep okay?"I nodded."It was a wonderful night''I reached for my phone placed on the nightstand as I noticed the insistent blinking. Why in t

"I love you too, handsome. I'll see you in fifteen."Hayley's voice was a hoarse whisper but it still sounded as tender as she had always been. She still had a small smile on her lips as her beautiful eyes closed slowly.The nurse was right about one very important things; Hayley needed to rest. She had just come out of a very tragic event and as relieved as we all were, we didn't have to crowd her too much.My heart swelled as I watched her sleep so peacefully. I had no idea who was driving that truck or what happened but I did know was things were going to be okay now. She was safe and that was all that mattered.Fifteen minutes. Of course it was going to a lot more than fifteen minutes of rest that Hayley was going to need but I still knew that whenever she woke up, I'd be back by her side, holding her hand, kissing her awake. I had told her that I loved her and she had said that she loved me too. This was going to be actual start of our love story. We had forever ahead of us.

The air was heavy with the crushing weight of grief and sorrow that hung over the heads and shoulders of all who stood with her heads bowed and their eyes covered with dark shades to hide the tears. Rows of people in black attire enveloped my eyes and each of them mirroring the pain and raw grief of the other person. It had been a week since Hayley had bid this world and we that she left behind, goodbye. A week that felt like a painful eternity. Each waking day felt like the horror had just unfolded. Each day you wake up hoping that you had finally escaped that bad dream. That you could pick up your phone and dial her number and she would answer after the third ring in her usual, cheery voice and ask you if you missed her. I did miss her. We all did. The green canopy over the grave cast long, somber shadows. The sun was bright but it did nothing to brighten the darkness in our hearts. Nico stood beside me unmoving and staring at the dug hole where the casket that held the rema

The drive to Darling's apartment felt different today. Not laden with the usual anxiety that had gripped me since the Thomas Rowler incident.Before, in the beginning of the Thomas Rowler exposure incident, Darling had been different. He was scared and always looked over his shoulder, fearing that Thomas would want revenge.Of course that would never happen. Thomas had been defeated, extorted and humiliated for good measure. The world knew just who he was and what he was capable of so doing anything to hurt Darling was not in his best interests.After a while, Darling had left my house and return back to his house but I still constantly checked in. At first, to pacify my own heart and be certain that he had not hurt himself but now all those tense feelings had evaporated.Regardless, I wanted to have some time with my friend. It had been quite an eventual two weeks with the passing of Hayley Oaks, the sister of my colleague, girlfriend of Alex's best friend and a friend to Alex himsel
