All Chapters of Chasing Poisonous: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The video of working on the latest X-ray machine plays on the screen in front of me but I don't see any piece of information making its way into my brain. My mind keeps drifting back to the last night's incident. The embarrassing event of my shirt getting torn by a stupid lamp. And then I remember how Christopher pulled me towards him. I didn't expect him to do what he did next. The way he ripped apart the shirt and tied it into a knot. To be honest, It felt extremely hot at that moment that I can still feel my throat getting dried simply thinking about it.I close my eyes and visualize the entire scene again. I imagine how his hands wrapped around my waist possessively. I remember the unambiguous desire burning in his eyes. The intensity with which he was looking at me. It still makes my knees wobbly. I grab the water bottle from the table and take a sip from it to erase the uneasiness forming in my throat. I start imagining weird things. How I wished he would have kissed me at that

ChristopherAlmost a week has passed since Nicole started living with me, and since that night, I haven't been able to talk with her properly. I have distinctly noticed that her behavior has changed a lot after the night we watched that movie together. I don't know why, but whenever it seems like I am getting closer to her, she pushes me and pretends to keep her guards up. And that's what she has been doing for the past few days, ignoring me like a fucking plague. I don't know what the hell is wrong with her. I know how badly she wants all of this to end. I know she wants to get rid of me as soon as possible and go back to living her normal life, but that doesn't mean she would ignore me all the fucking time while she is living with me. It is starting to piss me up. I don't know why is she torturing me like this. I just couldn't keep up with her mood swings.It is clear to me that she is trying hard to stay away from me, and I am damn aware of what she feels. She feels the same for m

"Oh, my god! I can't believe this!" Emily screams hysterically."Shhhh, Emily, people are watching us," I tell her, looking around the cafe and finding a few people sitting nearby giving us weird glances."Can you believe this? Our Sam just aced in his exams. He is a freaking topper in his batch." She says now in a hushed tone trying to suppress her excitement."That's insane. Nobody would have ever thought this. Considering his behavior, I wouldn't have imagined him being capable of doing anything other than jumping like a chimpanzee here and there." She states, taking a loud slurp from her milkshake."Yeah, I guess deportments can be deceptive too." I smile at her."True." She laughs, and that's when Sam appears at our table, holding a tray in his hand."Butterscotch mousse cake for the ladies." He grins, placing the plates on the table. Emily and I exchange a few suspicious glances, and then together, we look at Sam in surprise."I know, you guys didn't ask for this, but guess what

I close my eyes and fall back on the bed. My heart is beating so fast that I fear it might probably jump out of my chest. I guess I am pretty much fucked up. I couldn't get my mind off of whatever happened between me and Christopher. Fuck! What the hell was I thinking? How could I let him do that to me? How could I let him touch me like that? For fuck sake! Who are you kidding Nicole? He was not just touching you; he was kissing the hell out of you. I mentally curse myself for losing shit at the moment.After screaming at Christopher like a madwoman, I came straight to Emily's apartment. As much as I try to deny it but I can't, I have to admit that it felt so fucking hot. My eyes involuntarily close and I start picturing his lips back on my skin, exploring forbidden areas. The thought of feeling his lips all over my body instantly invades my mind, making me lock my thighs tightly. Shit! What am I thinking? I snap my eyes open and surprisingly see Emily staring right at me."Nikki, wha

"Leave her alone."I gasp in horror when I see an angry Christopher staring back at us. Sam drops his hands from my face as soon as he hears Christopher."Excuse me?" He says frowning, turning to face Christopher.Christopher clenches his jaw. He looks like a wild animal ready to swallow his prey alive as he saunters towards us. What the hell is he doing here?"Don't you understand English? I said, leave her alone." He spats bitterly at Samuel.Sam looks at him in confusion, unable to understand what he is trying to say. "Sorry, I don't remember if we have met before?" But he doesn't look at Sam, instead his gaze shifts towards me as he stares at me furiously. Seeing that his eyes are now fixed on me, Sam pulls me behind his back.Christopher's face appears more frightening as his bloodshot gaze wanders over my face. This doesn't look good. From the way Christopher is looking at Sam and me, I can say this can get into an ugly fight. It seems like we have already gathered some attentio
