Family thanksgiving (2)

KAIDA’S POVAfter the night I agreed to go with Ember to their family thanksgiving, we had back to back classes.It was too much for my poor soul to take. Once we got home at night after an all-day class, we found something to eat and went to bed like a log of wood.It became a repeat for four days straight and by Friday evening, we packed up to leave for the family thanksgiving.We were leaving first thing on Saturday morning and despite how tired we were from back to back classes, we made sure to pack all necessities and slept like logs of wood like every other day.…….The early morning sun slipped in through the gaps in the curtain and fuck… it was so hot for a crack of the dawn.How could a morning sun, which was supposed to be soft and particularly rich in ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, be this hot? It was supposed to trigger the production of vitamin D in our skin, except the sunlight on this bloody fucking Saturday contained vitamin hell.Was the world coming to an end?The heat c

Family thanksgiving (3)

KAIDA’S POVI opened my mouth to say something. Anything would do, but nothing came out.It was as if my tongue was tied to the walls of my mouth and Mr. Jensen wasn’t helping matters. His gaze never left mine, making it impossible to even let out a sound.“Honey, stop scaring her.” Mrs. Jensen intervened after what seemed like forever.I almost burst out in tears of appreciation for saving my ass. If she hadn’t come to my aid, I would’ve ended up melting like ice under the hooded gaze of Ember’s father.I’ve seen dangerous men. Well, not in reality but in movies. So, seeing one in reality was too much to bear.Mr. Jensen threw his head backwards in laughter. His laugh was rich and echoed through the wall of the dining hall. And I swallowed.“She was so scared that no words left her mouth,” His laugh held no humor or emotions attached. It was a rich dry laugh and I could feel it deep in my bones.“You’ve ruined the mood for the kids.” Mrs. Jensen laid out.“Okay, fine. I’m sorry.” Mr

Pool trauma

MAVERICK’S POVI knew Ember would invite Kaida over for the family thanksgiving, but I never thought Kaida would agree to tag along.I mean; she had refused to come with Ember each year we had thanksgiving, so why did she agree to come over for this one?When she stepped into the dining room with Ember and Butler Noah, I was a bit surprised and so were our parents.And from the stern look on Dad’s face, he didn’t like the idea of Kaida around.A man like Vuk Jensen doesn’t forgive easily. Hell, this man holds onto grudges like dear life but I couldn’t say the same for Mom.She was a bit welcoming and even went as far as stopping Dad from pressuring Kaida any further.As I watched her hands tremble beneath the table, I felt this surging urge to reach out, take her hands in mine and place a soft kiss on them, easing the nervousness in her.My hands etched to reach out to her but I couldn’t, so I grabbed the cutlery and stabbed a chunk of meat, taking a bite from it.Dad was watching, I

A bloody monster

MAVERICK’S POV “Will she be okay?” Ember asked, walking behind me as I made my way into their room and placed Kaida on the bed. Worry laced her voice and fear etched on her face. I’ve never seen Ember this afraid before, not even when the accident from five years ago occurred. “Be calm. I’m sure she will be fine.” Mia assured Ember, but from the strain in her voice, I could tell she was also afraid and confused. “Why are you afraid? She will be fine. She just passed out. Nothing to be afraid of.” Killian cut in, his voice calm and composed. Sometimes, I envy how calm he could be, even in the worst situation. While Ember was biting on her lower lips in worry, Miller walked in with the doctor behind him. Our family doctor. Doctor Mark. “The doctor is here.” He announced and moved out of the way for the doctor to walk closer to Kaida for examination. The examination took five whole minutes and I swear, my mind was in turmoil during those five minutes. It was taking she

Go on a date or she dies

MAVERICK’S POV His lips coiled from a smirk to a snort and his head thrown back not because he was actually laughing, but in a mocking way. Mr. Vuk’s eyes were fixated on the ceiling and silence stretched inside his home office. I remained standing, my hands behind me while waiting for him to be done with whatever words he was trying to concoct in his head. “I’m not a monster, Guiliano.” His head dropped forward and his gaze hardened as it met mine. “You should know who the monster is between us.” My fingers flexed and coiled into a fist. I’m usually calm in most situations since I find out that they weren’t worth getting angry about. Same thing was happening with my father and I. He was trying to get into my head, and make me retaliate for calling me a monster. His plan was to rage-bait me, but he should have known better. I wasn’t a hockey player because I am not a genius like he is, but because I don’t want to be involved in his shady illegal businesses. “Yes,

Are you that desperate to get fucked?

KAIDA’S POV Have you ever been dragged to a traumatic past where your chest tightens with every breath and your eyes shrink from fear and suffocation? That was how I felt when I fell into the pool. I felt my world coming to an end. Death isn’t always simple. When it comes, you try to outrun it, fight it and try to win, but when it drags you to the land of darkness where you can’t move or open your eyes forever, it is very painful. When I tried to outrun what I thought was death, it wasn’t an easy fight. I struggled, but each breath was suffocating and painful. I felt like dying at that moment. If I’m dying right now, then, so be it. But I haven’t covered my bucket lists yet. There are still many things I haven’t done. Yes, I gave in to death with regrets. I thought I was dead, but well, that was my intrusive thoughts speaking because at that moment, I heard voices like whispers in my ears and my body was so heavy that I couldn’t push myself to a sitting position

It was more than just the accident

KAIDA’S POVMy cheeks flushed in embarrassment and I took in my lower lips. Jesus Christ, it was so embarrassing that I wished the ground would open and swallow me.“Your hands, Kai…” this time, it sounded more like a warning. A dangerous one.One that screamed ‘if you don’t take your hands off my cock, it’d be forced down your throat.’“Ahhh,” I snapped out of my frozen words and immediately yanked my hand off his hardened cock like it was a burning furnace, one which could burn me if I hadn’t taken it off. “I’m sorry.”My head hung low and I didn’t dare look him straight in the eyes.Meanwhile, the others at the front roll had not even the slightest idea of what was happening between Maverick and I.It was a good thing they had no idea, because if they did, I wouldn’t live down that moment.“If you’re so desperate to feel and hold my cock, you should tell me, not try to be smart.” Maverick leaned closer and whispered into my ear.My cheeks and ears lit up in crimson red like that o

Liam in his bald era (2)

KAIDA’S POV All my life, I’ve never seen a family thanksgiving where the family doesn’t celebrate together and were better off as strangers. The Jensens just showed me a different kind of thanksgiving. A kind of thanksgiving, far more different from the one I’ve known my whole life. Mr. Vuk and his wife didn’t come down for breakfast and once we were done, we left for the airport. Mia, Killian and Miller returned to California, while we returned to Rochester. Despite sitting at the same roll on the plane, no one uttered a word until we arrived in Rochester. “I’m sorry for what happened back at our house. This is the reason why I’m not into family thanksgiving.” Ember muttered as soon as we arrived in our apartment. I flashed her a smile. A genuine one. I’ve come to realize not every family can be like mine. Every family has their way of thanksgiving and I believed it was their way of doing theirs. “I enjoyed myself. No worries.” “And for my dad..” she paused and let

Stick to your rules

KAIDA’S POVI had no intentions of letting Ember know what Maverick did.No matter how hard I thought about it, there wasn’t a single right in what he had done. Maverick had no fucking right to threaten Liam on our behalf.“Shit!” I took in my lower lips as my finger hovered the screen of my phone with Maverick’s number displayed on it.I wanted to call him to meet me at the park close to college, but I was running out of time for my next shift.Seconds turned into minutes and when I realized it was too late to call him, I turned off my phone and threw it into my pocket. “Let’s attend to our current job first.”I tied my hair into a lower bun, the tip touching the small of my back as I sprinted down the road to the restaurant across.It hasn’t been easy juggling two jobs coupled with studies, but I had to do it nonetheless.Reaching the restaurant, I pushed the entrance door open and a bell rang, indicating that someone just entered.“You’re here,” Naomi, a co-worker smiled at me from

You’ve got me wrapped around your fingers

KAIDA’S POV I remained in the restroom until my ragged breaths returned to normal and fell into a steady rhythm. And when that happened, I gathered my hair into a more tighter bun as the last made my hair rough and strands fell to my face. It took less than a minute to get it done and once I was ready to leave the restroom, I exhaled loudly and moved to the door. I knew I was going to receive an earful of nagging from Mrs. Cash for ignoring the needs of her VIP diners. Today wasn’t that perfect and smooth day, after all. With one last exhale, I grabbed the door knob and pushed it open, only to be met with those deep blue pairs of eyes I would rather not want to meet. Why was he outside the restroom? Where was his date? Did he leave her at the VIP hall upstairs, just to come see me? ‘Hey, Kaida. Don’t be delusional. Maverick would never.” I scolded myself inwardly, killing all other inner thoughts trying to sprout their roots in my mind and make me go crazy. I pa
