"Are you guys ready?" Innessa asked the girls who were getting ready."I still need to do my hair and makeup," Scarlett said from inside."Is your friend here to pick you up?" Darla asked."Yeah, he's waiting downstairs," Innessa said, staring at the girls who weren't ready."Why don't you go with him? Send us the location, and we'll be there," Scarlett said.Innessa bobbed her head, telling the girls she'll send them the location as she headed out of the building.She wore a beautiful knee-length flowy baby blue dress that complimented her eyes. Her hair was in waves as she breathed deeply, straightened her posture, and dusted her dress of invisible dust before stepping out of the building. As soon as she stepped out, she instantly felt the intense gaze on her.Her gaze flickered to him as she passed him a soft smile. But then she instantly tried to control herself because she was beaming like an idiot. Innessa was giddy, and her heart was a mushy goo. She malfunctioned as soon as s

Innessa drowned in her assignment. Once done with it, she was so tired that she plopped on the bed face-first. She was hungry, but she didn't have any strength to cook anything. She got an electric stove and some crockery with a little grocery with her first salary. So, she often has midnight snacks. But today she was so tired. She closed her eyes and was about to sleep when her phone vibrated with a message. She sleepily checked the message, and instantly, all the sleep washed away. 'Are you asleep?' It was a text from Issac. She lay straight on the bed, reading the message thrice before responding. 'No. I'm awake.' 'What are you doing?' He asked. 'Nothing much. What about you?' 'I'm missing you 🥺,' Her heart did a little stutter as a swarm of butterflies giggled and blushed in her belly. 'That's so sweet of you.' 'You're supposed to say you miss me too😒' 'I'll say it when I feel like it 😌' 'Are you teasing me, Innessa?' 'Aww, are you teased, baby?' As soon as she s

"Why didn't you send his picture? Do you want me to beg you for it?" Faina said on the phone."Remember that time when you started dating Arthur? You make me beg to see his pictures," Innessa mused, earning a groan from the other side."Are you taking revenge, Nessa? I thought my sister was an adorable, naive little creature, but I was wrong," Faina complained, making Innessa chuckle."I still couldn't believe you've got a boyfriend. The girl who never paid attention to boys and stayed glued to her books finally found a guy. I'm happy for you, Nessa," Faina said excitedly, making the girl smile."Thank you," she said."How's dad coping with the news?" She asked hesitantly. Denis was a lovely father, but he was very protective of his daughters. When Faina introduced Arthur to the family, her father gave him a tough time before finally accepting him as a member of the family.When Innessa revealed the news to her family, Faina and her mom were on cloud nine, but Denis sounded as if he w

Innessa couldn't sleep for the last three nights. She was doing her best to avoid Issac. She ignored his texts and stayed out of his radar. She left the academy early for work and clocked off early from the cafe for the past three days.She even complained to the security guard that someone had climbed into her window three days ago, but escaped so they should tighten their security. She didn't mention who it was and lied that she didn't see that person's face. Though it was difficult for her to lie, she didn't want to trouble Issac and just wanted to keep her distance from him for the respect of what little good memories she had with him, though it was all just a lie.Innessa couldn't stop thinking about everything that happened three days ago. She was still scared that he might show up in her room while she was sleeping. He had tried to call her multiple times, but she didn't answer.The girl couldn't even focus on her studies. She was so consumed by his thoughts. The fact that made

Her hands shot up as she grabbed his hand, trying to push it off her throat, but it was to no avail as he tightened his hold enough for her breathing to sparse."S... Stop this," She stuttered, her voice restrained as he glared at her.Innessa was so small and delicate, yet she pushed his buttons to such an extent that his veins popped out in rage, and control slipped through his fingertips."Why didn't you listen to me? I was waiting for you. Why are you being defiant, Innessa?" His voice was low and dark as he stepped closer, his chest brushing against hers, making the girl shudder and flinch back."Why a... are you doing this?" She whispered in a small, broken voice, and his jaw ticked."Doing what exactly?" He pressed lowly."Hurting me like this," Her voice was small as she let go of his wrist and dropped her hands to her sides, defeatedly."I told you we are done, Issac. Why are you doing this to me? I... I don't want to be with you after everything you've done." The muscle in h
