Adriana Jensen~•~“Are you trying to rebel or something?”I stopped in my tracks, wondering if it was just not my lucky day today. My tongue poked the inside of my cheek as I wondered whether to reply to her or not.I had a lot to say to her. I had a lot of questions to ask her, but I wondered if they were worth it. Realizing I didn’t have the mental energy to deal with the woman I used to call my best friend, I continued walking.It seemed like she wasn’t ready to let me go though. “Or are you hoping dressing like this will lure Benjamin back into your life?”My feet came to a halt and I turned around sharply. Her words stung. She was speaking like we were strangers; like we didn’t promise to be there for each other forever; like all we said were just words that didn’t hold any meaning. “Do you hate me or something?”“What?” Fab asked as though she wasn’t expecting that question.“I can’t seem to think of any reason why you’d do something so vile without shame and remorse. Did you ev
Adriana Jensen~•~I waited up for Saint.Well, I tried to.At first, I was going to wait in my outfit for him to come back because I felt like he didn’t have the time to properly look at me, but I quickly became uncomfortable in the wear and ended up changing to a regular T-shirt and shorts.I stayed in the living room and watched the TV while waiting and simultaneously ignoring the group texts. I didn’t know what was going to happen after I told them Benjamin cheated on me with Fabiola. Would they hate her? Or would they understand her and take her side?I was scared. I had lost Fab already. I didn’t want to lose any more of my friends.I didn’t know when I dozed off on the couch but when I woke up the next morning, I was on the bed and sheets were over me.When did Saint get back? Did he carry me inside?I felt bad that I was taking up his bed while he was struggling on the couch, but I knew if I offered to share the bed with me, he would shoot it down pretty fast. He was obsessed
Adriana Jensen~•~It was time to test my self-control, aka, how long I was going to last without snapping at Benjamin and Fabiola.The first item on Ben’s mom, Lucia’s, list was a Millionaire Row Bay Cruise. As I was getting ready, Saint casually mentioned that he booked the full cruise. While Lucia was in charge of planning, Saint was the one to fund everything. He liked his privacy and for the first time, I hated the fact that he was so extra and luxurious.How was he so damn rich anyway? The moment I complained about my father’s failing business, he helped immediately. He booked four suites in such an expensive hotel and he was basically paying for everything that was to happen during the trip.“Can’t you cancel and book what is necessary?” I questioned when we finished getting ready. Since it was summer, it was hot out so we were wearing minimal clothes. Saint was wearing a white tank top and a blue shirt over it with the buttons undone, paired with white shorts that went over h
Adriana Jensen~•~The boat ride was supposed to be amazing, but it was awkward as well. Wait, I couldn’t consider it a boat. It was a literal ship. I came from a rich family but this was next-level shit.We were allowed to go out in the water and swim for a while or surf so we all changed into our swimwear. However, I wasn’t interested in swimming.Ben’s mother and father were inside while the four of us were left outside, lying on those black chairs.Ben and Fab were busy talking animatedly about who knew what. I was tempted to push one of them in the water. They were so shameless.“Are you two together now?” Saint spoke, catching their attention.“What? No.” Ben was quick to deny it, missing the dissatisfied look on Fabiola’s face. That brought me satisfaction. Ben looked toward me as though he was asking me if his uncle knew. I didn’t bother to give him any indication that he knew.If Saint asked about his relationship with Fab, he should already know something was wrong. He could
Saint Giordano~•~Something was very wrong with me.I didn’t know what exactly possessed me to open my phone, tap on my camera icon, and take pictures of Adriana on my phone, thinking that I would delete them after sending them to her.I couldn’t be any more wrong.Just as I had told her, the pictures were beautiful. They weren’t just beautiful, they were hot, enticing, seductive, everything that would make a grown man sin.I’d repeatedly told myself that I wasn’t going to have anything to do with her because she was still an immature child but I couldn’t stop myself from scrolling through her pictures on my phone. It irritated me that she was posting those pictures online and when I’d logged into my anonymous account and saw the comments hungry boys left under it, I was agitated.Adriana just didn’t know the power she held over me.The first time I saw her was a party where her family and mine had been invited to. I wouldn’t call it an obsession but I was intrigued at first sight. H
Adriana Jensen~•~I didn’t get the deal with Saint. I didn’t know if my advances were working or not. He was nice to me and I didn’t think he was generally a nice man. He looked like the man who wouldn’t engage in anything except it benefitted him but he was continually nice to me. Then again, he didn’t look at me twice.Was wearing minimal items of clothing a cheap move? Did it repulse him?These were all questions I wished I could ask but I didn’t have the temerity. I’d been staying with him for five days and whenever we were inside the suite, I always walked around with a tank top two sizes too small and a pair of booty shorts but his eyes never lingered. Was he not interested in me at all? Was that the problem?I shook my head. I decided not to let this affect me. It wasn’t like I liked him. I found him attractive, yes, but I didn’t want to date him or anything. I just wanted to caress my ego and let him take my virginity.There was a knock on the room door that startled me. He
Adriana Jensen~•~“Guess what, Fab!” I screamed when I went back to the spot Fab and I had been sitting with our other friends before Benjamin called.“You know I can never guess. Just tell me the good news.” She prompted while the three other girls looked at me curiously.“I am also going to Miami for the holiday!” I exclaimed. Fabiola had told me some days ago that she was going to travel to Miami for a short vacation after our exams. It was the last day of our exams and everyone was pumped for summer, including me.“Really?” She squealed, hugging me. “We should book the same hotel!”“Of course,” I replied. Out of the four girls present, she was my best friend. We had met during our freshman year of college while the others were slowly integrated into our group, making us five by the end of junior year.“This is so not fair,” Charlotte muttered, making sure we all heard her. “I have a stupid family vacation in Costa Rica along with my ‘fiancé’s’ family. I just know Antonio is going
Adriana Jensen~•~Fab and I drove to the airport together. Benjamin was going to pick me up but I told him it wasn’t necessary so we ended up meeting him at the airport.I put on a smile when we arrived at the place where he and his parents were sitting. Benjamin immediately stood up to greet me. Despite his parents watching, he kissed me on the lips, making me blush when I realized everyone was looking at us.“Hey, Fab.” He nodded at her, taking both our suitcases.“Adriana.” His mother finally called out, opening her arms for me. I hugged her shortly and greeted her husband before my eyes landed on the man beside her husband.“That’s my uncle,” Ben said when he noticed the confusion on my face. “He’s the one sponsoring this trip.”He had dark shades on so I couldn’t tell if he was looking at me or not. However, that didn’t stop me from assessing him with my gaze. He looked nothing like an uncle. If Benjamin hadn’t told me, I would think he was Ben’s older brother or something.Not t
