All Chapters of Chasing Poisonous: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

I wake up to the sound of someone's ragged breathing echoing in the room. Moving my head to the side, I flutter open my completely exhausted eyes and notice someone sitting on the other side of the bed. I blink a few times to clear my vision, letting my mind register that it's Christopher. What is he doing? Why is he awake? I frown and focus my vision entirely on him. Apparently, from here it seems like he is a bit tensed. What happened to him? My eyes then fall on the muscles flexing on his back, he is sitting at the edge, shirtless, and I stare at his back in awe of how perfectly build his body is. He has his head facing the ground with his hands clutching the sheets on either side. His heavy panting is distinctly audible to me. I sit up and accidentally look down to find my chest covered with flaring red hickeys. I bite my lip, noticing that I am wearing only a tank top and my favorite pink panties. Instantly forgetting about Christopher's tensed figure, a blush creeps over my fac

I grin and look at Christopher as we walk back home. He seems to be in a much better state than he was moments ago, and I am happy to see that change evident in his eyes. His face beams up with happiness as he offers a gracious smile to me, and I am taken by surprise when he reaches for my hand and brings it near his lips to plant a soft kiss on the back of it. Shit! My heart skips a beat and my arms cover with erupting goosebumps the moment his lips brush against my skin. Why do I feel butterflies in my stomach whenever he does things like this? I smile and look away, trying to not let him know how much these little gestures that he does unknowingly affect me. Jeez. Nicole, stop acting like a fucking teenager.I start wondering now how we managed to come this far when I halt midway to catch a breath. Damn! I guess I need to start exercising because it feels like I am getting tired of hardly taking 10 fucking steps. Fuck! From the way I am gasping right now, it sure looks like I am go

Christopher"Because I love you, Cole."Wow! Did I just really say that? I can't believe that I have finally let those words flow out of my mouth. After my heart having countless days of inner struggle, trying to confront my true feelings, finally, I have gathered the courage in me to admit that to her. I never assumed that I would ever be able to confess my love to her. But I did it, and I am freaking proud of myself. Hell! I never thought that I would be speaking those words to any woman in my life, ever. But Nicole changed it. She made me do it. She made me fall in love with her. And I fucking can't believe it now.I surely didn't expect it to happen like this. I wanted it to be a special moment where I would be pouring my heart out while declaring my love to her. You know, like how every man dreams about revealing that part to his girl. But unfortunately, that just didn't happen. I don't know what got into me at this moment, but I instantly felt the need to tell her. To tell her t

ChristopherAfter Nicole left, I had to bandage my shoulder all by myself. Though it was difficult, I managed to do it. It's still aching like a bitch, but I am not incognizant about the fact that I have more serious issues than this in my head to take care of. Resting my head on the pillow, I stare at the ceiling, thinking about everything that has happened. I am not gonna leave Richard for what he has done. What the fuck was going through his mind while he thought of sending his men to attack us. Has he fucking lost it? Anything could have happened at that time. Nicole could have got hurt. Fuck! This has to fucking end now. I am going to talk to him about this. I have already informed Max about it. He said that he is ready to offer any kind of help if I need it.I turn around, feeling uneasy lying alone on this bed. It feels so empty without Nicole. I wish we didn't have had this argument so I could have slept holding her in my arms. But we had to do it anyway because it was necessa

ChristopherAn hour after the conversation with Nicole, I find myself parking into the driveway of Sophia's house. The guards here know me well because I have been to this place a lot of times when I and Sophia were together. Before I left the house, I had called Max and asked him to take care of Nicole while I would be gone. I don't want to leave her alone and also after finding out about the note that she got; I have become more cautious about her safety. The words written on it instantly come alive in my head, making my body fuel with anger again as I think about it. However, with the reference of her father on the note, Nicole thinks that someone else is behind all this. But I still doubt the instinct in me which assumes that it couldn't be Richard. Because I know the extents that he could cross to get something out of his way. Maybe he is trying to mislead us by making up a story about Nicole's father. That possibility can't be ruled out.I step out of the car after parking it a
