Semua Bab Choose Me Too Late: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Nihan was certain about one thing.Fred's advice hadn't helped at all.If anything, it had made her decision about Calix even harder.Part of her wanted to accept his offer. She was attracted to him, and after what happened in his car, denying that attraction was becoming impossible.But another part of her remembered Fred's warning.Calix hadn't told her that he wanted a relationship. He didn't even understand his own feelings yet.And Nihan didn't want to get hurt again.She was so distracted that she didn't notice the bus passing her stop.“Hey, we just missed your stop.”Nihan turned toward Fred. “You're telling me now?”He shrugged without looking away from his phone.“You looked busy thinking. Besides, I already gave you my advice. If it's Calix Godwin, say yes. If it's anyone else, don't bother.”Nihan resisted the urge to hit him.She pressed the button for the next stop instead.When the bus finally stopped, Nihan stood and pinched Fred's side before getting off.He yelped lo

Part of Nihan wanted to push Calix away.A much bigger part wanted to stay exactly where she was, especially when he was kissing her like this.His mouth moved against hers with a hunger that made her head spin. She kissed him back just as eagerly, and when he suddenly pulled her onto his lap, a gasp escaped against his lips.Her thighs settled around him as the chair creaked beneath them.Calix groaned.The sound immediately reminded Nihan of what had happened on the ice.She pulled away and searched his face.“Does it hurt?”To her surprise, Calix laughed.Nihan frowned as he leaned his head back, still laughing as if she'd said something ridiculous.“What?”His eyes returned to her.“How the fuck are you so cute right now?”Her cheeks burned.“I'm serious, Calix. You just got hurt.”“I know.”His hand slid behind her neck.Before she could argue again, he pulled her back into another kiss.Nihan's concern didn't disappear completely, but it became much harder to hold on to when Cal

“Where have you been?”Lia's question greeted Nihan the moment she entered the break room.Nihan had only planned to get some water, but Lia was standing by the counter with a cup of coffee.It was already late afternoon, and Nihan's body was still sore from what had happened with Calix.She immediately pushed that memory away before her face could betray her.“Is Calix alright?” Lia asked.Considering what they'd done earlier, Calix had certainly seemed fine. His shoulder was another matter.Nihan still believed he was hiding how much it hurt.Before she could answer, Lia held up her phone, showing her the article Ivy had mentioned.“The media is having a field day again. Ivy sent me here to handle some other work because she'll probably be buried in media problems for the next few hours.”Nihan felt bad for her.“Anyway, the game went well. Raven and the twins crushed Kester's team. Kester looked pretty angry by the end, which was honestly satisfying to watch.”Lia's expression beca

“You’re really taking advantage of my kindness now, Dwayne.”Calix glanced at him as he climbed into the back seat of his car. Ivy had asked Dwayne to act as Calix’s bodyguard for the event because Calix refused to have actual bodyguards following him around.“Hi, client.” Dwayne made himself comfortable in the back. “Come on. I even went to your place instead of making you pick me up.”“You stood in front of my car and forced me to stop.”“And it worked. Now we’re going to the party together.”Calix shook his head and drove toward the hotel.He had no interest in going to the event, but Ivy had insisted. She wanted the media to see that he was fine after everything that had happened. She had looked exhausted when she asked, so Calix finally agreed.A few minutes later, Dwayne leaned forward between the front seats and looked him over.“You’re wearing a white button-up shirt and white pants. That’s it. So why do you still look that good? The world is unfair. I had to go to a salon for

How many times did Calix have to reject her before she finally understood?This was the first time Ravena had trapped him inside a hotel room, but it wasn’t the first time she had asked him for another chance.Calix had met her when he first joined the team.Back then, he had been friendlier. He was a rookie, so he still made an effort to get along with everyone. Coach Luther had joined around the same time and often brought Ravena with him.She had been curious about hockey and constantly asked Calix questions.She told him she dreamed of becoming the team’s manager one day, so Calix helped her. Even when her questions became repetitive, he still answered them.Now, he wished he hadn’t.Ravena confessed her feelings the same day Calix won his first championship.He rejected her.But she tried again.And again.For four years, his answer had always been the same.Ravena suddenly stepped forward and tried to hug him.Calix immediately moved back.His expression should have warned her t
