Hoping for too much

Lina's POV My phone chimed for what was the umpteenth time and I knew I had to glance at it, I knew without even taking a look at it, who exactly it would be that had just texted me and I missed him. He had sent numerous texts letting me know that he missed me and would like to see me, but I found myself thinking countlessly on what we were and what exactly I was to him. I had conflicted feelings, were they supposed to be part of the fake relationship we had? I didn't really know what to think about that. Forcing myself to sit upright, I knew I had to be up and running, but that didn't mean that I had to go to school. It had been four days after my birthday and I had insisted on staying back, because I didn't know what exactly it was I was to do over there. The jeers weren't going to make sense and it would be best if I avoided them while I could. I would have loved to know who it was, all I could say was two words, shrubs and an empty car, but why exactly would anyone do that to

Not around here

Josh's POV How was I to explain the thoughts which spun in me when I saw her? The flawless look on her face when she saw me had me starstruck for a while. I wasn't expecting her to come as I had sent the same messages to her countless times letting her know I yearned for her, and would do everything to talk to her, but she hadn't responded. Color me shocked when I heard a car drive in, I had forced myself, not wanting to believe that she would be the one. There had to be someone else, but she was the only one who knew about this place. My hands rested by the side of her waist before peering around when she dug her teeth into her lips, her mind a bit hazed, as she asked again;“ What were you doing there last night, and what car were you in?” My mind was clogged while I tried to recall which exactly, being with her did that to me, made me forget every single thing I must have intended to say. “ Can we forget about that for now? There's something I think you should know.”She sat

Determined

Lina's POV Being able to do this without having anything behind my mind was everything that I would have ever wished for, my feet came to a stop just beside the house, and it was the first time I got to notice the greenery which spread out and the tiny path which led to a beach. When Josh had said it wasn't so far, I had not expected this, tiny balloons hung above the air, with soft music permeating the air. I threw a glance over my shoulders where he had a hand underneath his chin, glancing at me like I was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, or the only one he had ever looked at like that. His eyes lightened up when I saw him, before he leaned closer, wrapping his hands around my shoulders. I took in air, inhaling his scent when his hands strayed. “ Have I told you how beautiful you look? Dressed in my clothes?” “ You haven't, can I hear it?”“ You look astonishing, Lina.” His words dripped into my ears.“ When I think there isn't anyways you can do better than the las

Inevitable

Josh's POV “ Hey man,” it seemed like eternity since I had met Max, or boxed with him and I felt like I could have done that more often if I wasn't occupied with his sister. Lina had tried to get an answer out of me but I couldn't say it. She had left aggrieved but it was better than telling her about my feelings when I wasn't sure she was in love with me yet, that's what I wanted to do, planned to do.I needed her to fall hopelessly in love with me and then I would let her know she was the girl I have always been in love with, and asked her out formally while I hoped the answer would be positive. “ You are late, what exactly have you been up to?” He complained, sliding his hands into the gloves, before throwing a glance at me. “ I had something to do, how is it going with your stuff? Are you done yet?” “ I should be, what about you? You have to do that fast enough so we will be able to get a room, you know we agreed to stay together in college.”“ Yes, we did, but have you thoug

off the coast

Max couldn't describe the emotions he had felt when he had been told all of those by the priestess, he had taken it all at a gulp with his hand clenched and as well tried not to be overprotective of her as he used to. Not that he had intentions of stopping it all together, it was just that he had to limit it since it seems she had a difficult life already, and wasn't even supposed to live for herself. If he had been told this, he would have done everything possible just so that she would have gotten her mate that day, he would have ordered the pack on lockdown, and it was to be fully guarded. How was it possible that whoever was the mate had succeeded in getting out leaving them with just two words? Shrubs and an empty car. He let out a puff of air before leaning against the doorframe, he was waiting for them to get in, his father silent as well. He wasn't going to say a word to him because he was pissing him off. He somehow had expected that he would say something, let everyone

Something more

Josh's POV Lina with powers I could understand, but what was so hard for me to get was why exactly she would be hawked around like she was some good or something, I was so pissed that I had been at the arcade all day, shooting while conjuring the elder's faces in my mind. I knew it would be difficult to get out of an arrangement like that, but I had to think of a way. I needed to also know the outcome of what was said and to be able to do so, I had to be with Max later tonight but for now, all I had to do was blow off steam while thinking of how to get them out of this arrangement. I have lost time while shooting and when I was done, it was late. " Lina..." there was no way she was here, what was she doing here? When I noticed she had the necklace I had gotten her on, my rage cooled down, that showed she loved it. We are getting there, maybe to the point where she would fall in love with me soon, where she wouldn't be able to live without me, I could see it in her eyes, eyes spok

Special

Lina's POV I could barely sleep, no matter how hard I had tried, I couldn't shut my eyes. It felt like everything was falling in place, I and Josh were going to be the couple that I wanted, the love we were about to share will be everything and we will be able to grow together. I couldn't stop thinking about his words. Does that mean he loved me? I held my phone, squeezing it tightly while trying to sleep. I just couldn't but when it beeped, a message sprawled on it, I knew I had to give an answer. It was Josh, asking if I was asleep. " I can't sleep." I replied, still biting my fingers which wasn't so ladylike. The butterflies in my stomach flapped so hard that I knew I had to stop it somehow, but how could I? Was this what it meant? To fall in love? " Why?" Lying flat on my stomach,I had my legs in the air, thinking of what to say as the reason, would it be too much if I said he was the one? "Mine?" he added. My stomach flapped even harder, this time it had me smiling befor

Messed up his mind

Max knew that he couldn't look beyond this anymore, not when he got another message which confirmed his suspicion and heightened it in the process. “ I am sure you aren't a fool” it read and he knew what it meant, he couldn't play fool anymore. He knew something was up between his sister and Josh and even when he didn't want to believe it, it was difficult not to do so. Not with Josh sudden over protective stance over Lina, he could take it that it was possible because of the fact that they were always used to getting men off and maybe somehow it got into his head and so, he continued doing the same thing over and over again. But wasn't it too much at this point? And he could recall telling him not to do that anymore, Darren was his choice, and Lina had screamed she had a boyfriend, why was the chance that the boyfriend she was talking about was Josh? And Josh, what was the chance that the girl he liked was Lina? He was confused and he needed answers. He needed someone to tell him

Loveless

Josh's POV I wasn't one who made mistakes, hell no, I didn't but I had made countless ones that couldn't be rectified. I knew he didn't trust me anymore, I had seen it, he asked me and I denied it, not that I wanted to do so on purpose but I found myself doing so, lying even when I shouldn't have. I was supposed to be man enough, but wasn't I scared? I was scared of losing Lina even more than I was scared of losing the friendship, she was the main reason why I was doing this in the first place. The reason for all of these lies and if I was asked if I was right, I would have given an answer,yes, I was right for hiding it and will do so over and over again. Leaning against the car seat, I tried to take in how everything was falling in my life but only one thing kept me going, the love I had with Lina was the only sensible thing I could think about. I didn't want to step in, this was my home, the one I grew in, the one I had come to know as home and I should go in, but I also knew

Walk down

Josh's POV I shook my head, knowing there was no way I was going to believe it, but his word, the one where he had talked about taking everything from me, clicked back in, and it made sense now. It all did, why he was always on my heels, why he was close to Lina, it was all to take everything from me. " Fuck." I cursed, taking a step back wishing I hadn't done this in the first place, if my curiosity hadn't gotten the best of me and if I wasn't determined to find out what my father was hiding then I wouldn't have faced this. I wouldn't have found out the bitter truth that he was my half brother. " Take me back." I slipped into the car as I said to Max whose face was blank. He muffled out words before stepping on the gas as he drove away. My eyes glared at the cars which we passed in a glance, taking note of the fact that this was so much more messed up than I could imagine, and I didn't know what to say nor do. What was I going to do? Confront my father? For hurting my mum?My m
