The night we first met

Flashback… Two Years Ago….Katrina didn’t remember walking into the club. She only remembered the feeling. The hollow ache in her chest.She had followed Yasmin seeking a distraction to help clear her mind of troubled memories. The club was too loud, music thumped through the walls and lights swept across the bodies packed together, jumping and downing drinks.Katrina stood on the edge of their circle with a cup in her hand, barely understanding the conversation. The bitter taste of alcohol burned down her throat and settled like fire in her stomach.Then Yasmin’s friend spun around, eyes glittering with mischief. “Truth or dare?”She blinked, looking down at the bottle which was pointed at her. She had no idea when the game started.“Dare,” she stuttered, unsure.“Pick a guy and ask him out,” the girl leaned forward with a sharp smile.Katrina widened her eyes. She had never asked a guy out or even thought about it. She turned to Yasmin for help and she gave an encouraging nod.‘Go o

kiss me more

Katrina and Jace got back home after the birthday party. They hadn’t spoken much after the game.Katrina’s head was filled with many thoughts and guesses. Her heels clicked softly on the floor as she walked behind him, hugging her arms around herself, trying to hold her nerves in place.Slowly, she drifted toward her room, her fingers brushing the doorknob hesitantly. She swallowed hard and turned slightly, but Jace was already at his door; the door was already open.She spun around and rushed toward him. She appeared in front of him, stopping him from walking in, and his eyes lifted slowly to her.Katrina’s chest rose and fell once. She stepped closer, her voice tight but determined. “Two years ago, that night…” her lashes fluttered once. “Were you the one…?”She held her breath, waiting for his answer, her eyes searching, hoping she could snatch her reply from it.Jace turned fully to face her; his gaze met hers and he closed the gap between them.Katrina watched, stiffening for a s

Good morning

Immediately Holly walked out, Ray followed after her, worried that she was upset by Lexi’s little stupid taunt.Holly didn’t stop. She stepped outside to the veranda where many boys and girls were enjoying and sweating from all the fun and drinks. She tried to walk fast through the crowd, knowing that he was right behind her.“Holly,” Ray called, trying to push past the people to get to her, but she walked faster.After passing through the crowd, he finally caught up with her and grabbed her arm, forcing her to stop and turn to him.“Come on, I will drive you home,” he said, but she snatched her arm away with a sneer.“I don’t need you pretending to care for me every time,” she stressed and turned to leave, but he stopped her.“It’s your birthday. Are you going to allow Lexi ruin it?” he asked.Holly turned sharply to him. “Right. It is my birthday,” she said and suddenly looked around, her eyes searching.She moved away from him and approached the house again. Ray watched as she walk

I'll ruin you too

Margot stared at the text she had just typed on her phone, about to be sent to Jennifer. She hesitated, her finger hovering on the screen.She heaved and shut the phone, turning around to see Jace who was about to go out. Her eyes lit up and she approached him.“Jace,” she called.He lifted his head up. “Margot,” he halted in front of her, his hand resting in his pocket. Margot’s eyes flicked to the car key in his other hand.“Are you going out?” she asked.“Yes,” Jace answered slowly. He waited for her to speak, but Margot gulped quietly, gazing at him.“What’s wrong?” he asked, his brow raised, concerned.Margot forced a smile, unable to ask him the question troubling her heart. “Nothing. I heard you started working at the empire. I just want to congratulate you,” she pivoted.“Thank you,” Jace replied and walked past her.She watched him leave and turned back to her phone. She erased the text she intended to send and exhaled deeply before walking further in.---Yasmin exited the e

Don't you touch her

“Mum? I did a bad thing,” Katrina said quietly, holding Vivian’s hands as she wiped her body with warm water.She lifted her head slowly in guilt toward her, her mouth opening slowly as she wanted to make her confession. “I slept with Jace,” she blurted out and waited.Like Vivian would get up and scold her for what she had done.The door slid open instead, and she turned quickly to it to find Collin standing there. His face was squeezed hard as he was angry. He marched toward her, and she jolted up.“What are you doing here?” she asked quickly before he got closer, her hand stretched out to tell him not to.“So you slept with Jace?” he asked, his voice filled with venom.Katrina swallowed. She knew she owed him no explanation, but she couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt in her. Not because it was Collin, but because she couldn’t bring herself to confess her deed to anyone.“It’s none of your business, really,” she forced out and moved closer to her mum’s bed.Collin stepped closer

He's a dirty man

Doctor Nelson walked into the VIP ward where Vivian had just been transferred to. He had just found out that she was moved to another ward and transferred from being his patient. He moved closer, a deep crease cut across his forehead. Another doctor was standing beside the bed, holding the book. “What is going on here?” he demanded. The new doctor turned and gave a faint smile. “Who are you?” she asked. “I’m the doctor in charge of the patient,” Nelson replied sharply. Doctor Seline looked at him with a lifted brow. Before she could speak, the door opened again and the hospital director walked in, his face screwed up, upset. “Dr. Nelson, I need you out of here,” he demanded and took his hand, but Nelson shoved him off. “I’m not leaving. You have no right to take my patient and give it to another,” he stated. The frown on the director’s face became deeper. “If you don’t leave, I will be forced to call security on you,” he snapped angrily. Nelson looked furious and stunned. He ga

We're all friends here

The surgery took longer than intended. Katrina paced around impatiently, afraid something might have gone wrong.Jace, who was beside her, didn’t leave. He tried to pacify her, but she couldn’t be comforted. Not until the door finally opened again and the doctors came out.She rushed to them at once, Jace right behind her. “How is my Mum?” Katrina asked before the doctor could speak.Doctor Seline smiled, one that brought relief. “She’s fine. The surgery went well,” she announced.A heavy relief fell on Katrina’s heart as she let out a loud, deep gasp. She found herself relaxing on Jace, who was quick to hold her.The doctor proceeded to tell them more about the surgery, but she wasn’t paying attention.“When will she wake up? When can I see her?” she threw questions quickly.“We need to wait and see. But hopefully soon,” Doctor Seline said and turned to Jace, who gave a grateful nod before walking out.Jace turned Katrina to himself and wrapped her in a comforting embrace, his palm h

Can you afford it

It’s been nine hours since the surgery was over, Katrina refused to leave Vivian’s side, fearing that she might open her eyes very soon.She has been at the hospital for the past thirty-two hours and hadn’t had an hour of sleep. Just when she began to doze off, a hand moved against her weakly.Feeling too tired, she struggled to open her eyes, but when she felt the touch again, her eyes suddenly flicked open and snapped towards Vivian.She was staring right at her, looking weary and confused. Katrina shot up from the chair instantly, covering her mouth in shock as her eyes widened.Tears rushed to her eyes as she stared back at her. She moved quickly to throw herself at her but stopped when she heard Vivian’s silent groan.She wiped the tears that had fallen and quickly pressed the bell to call the doctor to come check on her.For a short while, the doctor examined Vivian and tried to get her to respond to her questions with a nod or a blink.Katrina turned to the doctor. “Doctor, wha

Brothers don't kiss their sisters

All the girls turned toward Jace. Lexi looked a bit stunned to see him, and Katrina froze mid-step. A quiet sigh of relief escaped Holly's lips upon seeing him there on time.Lexi's expression tightened instantly. Displeasure flickered across her face, quick and ugly. She had come to corner Katrina, to humiliate her and stop her from getting closer to Jace, but seeing him here, she knew she had lost that chance.“What's going on here?” Jace asked calmly, his gaze sweeping the room.Lexi recovered quickly. She smoothed her features into a smile that didn't reach her eyes and stepped toward him.“I came along because Holly asked me to,” she said sweetly. “We just wanted to check on Katrina's mom.” Her eyes shifted to Katrina as she said her name.Holly's eyes widened a fraction at the lie, but she said nothing, watching the act in amusement. For a moment, there was silence, then she moved closer to Lexi.“Now that you're here, Jace, we should leave,” she said and tried to pull Lexi alon

mixed signals

Katrina tried to catch her breath. Her lips tingled, her ears burned, and warmth flooded her face. She stood there, dazed, her chest rising too fast, her thoughts scattered.Jace's hand came up slowly, sliding into her hair. His fingers threaded through the strands gently, grounding her, lifting her gaze until her eyes met his.“Is your mum alright? Is it okay that you are here?” he asked quietly, his words unhurried.She nodded, the movement small, almost shy, overwhelmed by the way he looked at her.“The doctor said she needs rest,” she murmured. “So I came back to...”She didn't get to finish.Jace's lips found hers again, softer this time but just as sure, stealing the rest of her words. When he pulled back, his forehead rested briefly against hers, his breath warm against her skin.He lifted his gaze, holding hers again.“Can I be selfish?” he asked, his voice low, rough around the edges.Katrina searched his eyes. A flicker of fear passed through her, but she didn't pull away. I
