By Your Side By Kasie West Novels & Stories

She broke into a laugh. I snorted. “Ledger would probably love that.” I thought for a second. “What about RivRo? We can use that for now.” “Ooh, clever.” Alison nodded, scribbling it down. “Alright. RivRo it is.” Before I could say anything else, another presence stepped up beside me. “Cassie, can we please talk?” My entire body stiffened. I'd heard that voice so many times in my life that I would recognize it even if I didn't want to. Jade West.

It rarely happens sha. I turned to face him, but he wasn't looking my way. He had his eyes fixed on the book he was holding. I didn't know why Musa decided to fix him under the shopping guys, cause dude was smart. Smart as fuck. But I guess he wasn't wise unlike Dubem. I walked towards the stairs, debating on whose room to enter first, mine or Ayo's. 📍🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾📍

Avoiding his gaze, I replied, "That's not necessary. I'll take the subway home." "Taking the subway is exhausting. I'll drive you home instead. That settles it then." Before I could protest, Castiel got into his car and drove off. He left me with no room to argue. Then, one evening after work, Castiel asked for my permission to take me to Nightfall Bar to listen to some music. He chose a gentle, soothing song. In the midst of the intimate atmosphere, he performed a magic trick for me. He lit a tissue on fire, and with a swift motion, the burning tissue transformed into a rose in his hand.

“Your brother’s like you. He doesn’t leave things to chance; he knows something’s up and he’s not letting it go so we give him what he wants. And that’s you alive and safe” Her phone buzzed in her hands; her fingers fidgeted for a while looming over the phone screen. “There’s a mall west from here. Eastside mall”, I informed, she finally answered the call pressing her phone against her ear. “It’s good to hear from you too, soldier” “I’ve been busy, okay? You disappear for months without calling them too. Why? Because I’m a fragile woman who can’t live without some coddling from her parents?” Cassie and fragile in the same sentence? She wasn’t fragile, that wasn’t the word to describe her.

He walked towards them while loosening his tie and looked directly at Nick's eyes. "It's bad," West whispered. Nick gave him a what-the-hell-are-you-talking-about look which is pretty much what everyone has on their faces. Edward stuck out his tongue and brush his fingers against his hair as he pushes them backward, he has no time for this. Who knows what Louis is doing with Hailey right now. West threw the envelope on the coffee table and akimbo both his arms on his waist. He pursed his lips looking tired as if he was chased 24/7.

fortunately, he has the conscience and let my poor soul go but his arms enveloped me instead! “sis! You need to wake up! We’re in danger!” the embrace tightens and my ears ring at what I'm hearing. The brat is noisy again –It’s my first time hearing his voice! I want to find where the voice is coming from but the man beside me won't allow it “Sis! Waah! We’re all gonna die!” Nathan flinched at what he heard and started to think deeply if he will let her go He lets go... Finally!

My mind went blank with a buzz. A few seconds later, I snapped back to my senses. It was my partner—he had returned. He pulled me into his arms. I lifted my face with a smile and looked at Edward, slowly regaining my composure. Edward stopped in his tracks and took the initiative to extend his hand. "Hello. Edward Miles, your new neighbor." "Hello, I'm Donna Anderson. This is my husband, Ryan Mckey." Edward nodded at me, his expression complicated as he studied my face.

I know that beach, even from my bed. We’re only on the opposite side of the city. Not far from Tom, however he will likely look a lot further than this for me. Carson is asleep beside my bed.

One minute we were kissing and the next we were going to bed. “I missed you.” He kissed down my chest. “I missed you so much, Selene. Don’t ever do that to me again. Don’t. I’ll hunt you down and it won’t be pretty. Stay by my side where I can see you. Don’t leave me. Don’t even think about leaving me.” He kissed every inch of my skin as he begged and threatened me never to leave and I agreed. I agreed a hundred times over to never leave his side again.

You survived them. The café’s door chimed as people came and went, laughter drifting in. I stared at the window, at a group of teenagers who shoved each other playfully, carefree, untouchable. “I wish I could disappear,” I whispered. “Start over somewhere far away. Where I’m not the daughter of a mafia boss. Where I’m not about to marry a monster.” Gia reached for my hand, her grip firm. “Then let’s do it. I would help you, Bella. We could figure something out—”
