ADELINEShe huffed, that split second look of annoyance crossed her eyes for all of one second before the mask she wore over her emotions slipped back in place.“Before you scream and call me a liar, promise you’d actually hear me out.” She leaned forward, holding my gaze so it was impossible to look away even if that was all I wanted to do at that moment.“Do I have a choice?” I shot an unamused smile at her. She didn’t even flinch. It was either she already expected that as my reaction or she just couldn’t care less anymore.“You always have a choice.”“Yeah, that’s something that would have been nice to remember before you left without a goodbye text, don’t you think?”She pulled her lips back, her eyes flared and for a moment I thought she was finally going to last out, snap and tell me to shove it up my asshole. Instead let out a long shaky breath and without missing a beat, she smiled, the foreign thing sad despite the strong facade she apparently downed before coming.I shrugge

ADELINEI swear everything was bound to test my every limit because what in the name of audacity?!I mean, maybe he looked a little rough, but even that was barely noticeable unless, like me, you’d spent so many years watching and subconsciously wishing one day he would see you, like actually see you not just acknowledge your presence.Now that I think about it, I was better off with him not paying any mind to my existence. At least then it had been nothing but delusional wishing and now? Now, I knew what it felt like to have those eyes watching me, paying attention to every detail, the little touches, the way my name rolled off his tongue as he shot me that devilish smile of his. I knew what his body felt like pressed against mine, what his touch ignited in me, an animalistic need that even at that moment, when I struggled to remember what I slammed the door on his face, all I wanted was to be wrapped up in his arms again. I was so freaking stupid it was maddening.I hated him. I hat

GRAYSONSomething wasn’t right. I couldn’t place my finger on what it was exactly, but something felt off. I could have sworn I heard the doctor say it’s a boy just before I entered the room. A doctor wouldn’t lie to mean. I could understand why Adeline might want to lie about that, depending on what exactly she heard. Did the fact that I fell for her really scare her that much? Was that why she ran and refused to speak to me? I thought she felt the same way, or at least would be willing to give us a try, but to run off?Those unrelenting fists clawed at my chest, my heart ached at the thought of losing her because I finally felt something. It was Celeste all over again. Love really was a shitty thing. Wait, did I even love Adeline?It would explain the yearning to be around her, the need to constantly find excuses to be around her, the unrestrained joy that took over when my lip met hers and the clawing feeling in my chest knowing now how she felt about everything.Still, I know what

GRAYSON“How about you hand me those bags, I can help you.” I called to her. The bags almost swallowed her entire frame, yet she struggled and huffed, refusing my help incessantly. Every huff that escaped her lips, every forced step forward, it felt like I was being squeezed with giant tweezers, making it impossible to breathe.I couldn’t take it anymore, I reached for the first bag closest to me, but as expected, she risked dropping the other bags just so she could slap my hand off. So fucking stubborn.“Hey, I can’t just stand and watch you do anything remotely stressful with your… condition.” I squinted my eyes. The sun was impossibly hot, bearing down harder as the minutes ticked by like it’s sole purpose was to burn through our skin. I needed to be out of here and indoors, but Adeline had insisted on getting her things and saying proper goodbyes to Kris and fucking Jay, I didn’t understand it. Questioning it meant she never agreed to come back home. Home. Hmm… such a strange conc

GRAYSONCeleste Scarlett Julian, the devil in the flesh herself. What the fuck is she doing here and how in the hell did she get here so fast and at the worst possible time too!“Scarlett.” I clipped. I held her gaze. She had her usual half smirk on like she knew something you didn’t even though she never really ever did.“Yes, hubby? Miss me.” She smiled wide, the corner of her lips strained with how much effort it must be taking her to show an emotion that wasn’t a frown. Her eyes wild and crazed as they drifted from myself to Adeline. Other than that, she looked good, really good even if it felt like I was stabbing my self in the gut just acknowledging it.“Stop calling me that.” Adeline’s head snapped to mine finally. Doubt, confusion, irritation swirled in her eyes like the wind in an angry storm.I shook my head as if she would magically develop the ability to read my mind. This meant nothing. My ex wife is just that, my ex wife, nothing more. The only connection between both of
