Amanda was lying on his bed wearing nothing but a skimpy nightshirt. She gave him a seductive smile.
“What are you doing here?” Nate asked.
“Just came to see if you needed some company,” she said.
“What I need is some good night’s sleep, so you should leave,” he said, clearly annoyed at her intrusion.
Amanda got up and wrapped her arms around him. “Come on, Nate, I’ve always had a crush on you. Alex and I have always been good friends, but you, you are a mystery to me,” she said.
“And I’d like it to remain that way,” he said.
“I can’t stop thinking about that kissed we shared,” she whispered.
“It was for a stupid game. It didn’t mean anything,” He said.
“Maybe I should remind
“So, I heard you and Amanda hooked up last night,” Ryan asked as he stared at the lake.“Oh, you did? Congratulations,” Amelia said quietly before Nate could deny it.“Um…nothing happened between us. I sent her back to her room and told her I wasn’t interested,” Nate said, his eyes never leaving Amelia’s face. He couldn’t read her expression.“That’s not what I heard. Max told me he heard noises coming from inside your room and saw Amanda leaving your room late at night,” Ryan insisted.“Why are you and Max gossiping like a bunch of middle school girls? We may have done other things, but I didn’t sleep with her,” Nate said.“Oh, other things? What kind of things?” Ryan asked and smirked.“None of your damn business. The point is
Amelia was sitting at the bench where she and Nate were sitting the previous night. She wasn’t feeling good, so she wanted to be alone for a minute. She looked up as she felt someone else’s presence behind her.“Hey Alex,” she said and smiled despite feeling nothing but contempt for him.“You know, most new people in our school can’t tell the difference between Nate and me, but you are pretty good,” he said.“You guys are nothing alike besides having the same face. Besides, I just saw Nate, and he was wearing a different outfit,” Amelia shrugged.“True, I am much nicer and better looking,” he grinned.She chuckled. “I beg to differ.”“Oh really? Say, Amelia, you have a little thing for Nate?” he asked.“I don’t know&h
Nate went back to his room, feeling angry at himself. What was he thinking about kissing her impulsively? And why did he have to go and tell her it was a mistake. It must’ve hurt her feelings, and that was the last thing he wanted.He couldn’t imagine what she might be thinking right now. He knew for a fact that he wasn’t entirely over Destiny, so it was unfair for him to confuse Amelia like that. He couldn’t give her his heart since it was already broken.A knock on the door snapped him back to reality. “Who is it?” he asked in an annoyed tone. He was in no mood for company right now.“Open the door, Nate,” Amelia spoke from the other side.He wasn’t expecting her. He figured he would be the last person she would want to see after that kiss. He opened the door and let her in.“Um… what’s up?&
Amelia stared at the hard muscles that were hidden under his clothes. Her heated eyes were overwhelmed with intense desire. She wanted that body against her right now.“Regret? I doubt it,” she smiled.“You are so infuriating,” he said and softly bit her neck.She moaned. “And you are driving me crazy by trying to resist me. You are a hormonal teenage boy. Live a little,” she giggled.“Are you sure this is your first time? I’ve never met a virgin who was so aggressive about wanting to have sex. Aren’t you scared I’ll hurt you?” Nate asked.“How many virgins have you had?” Amelia squinted at him.“I asked you first,” Nate laughed.“I am not scared. I trust you,” she said quietly. “You won’t hurt me,”
Nate woke up early in the morning. He looked down as he felt something soft against his chest. Amelia. He remembered everything from last night. His arms were still wrapped around her. She had her head rested on his chest, where she slept peacefully.I’ve never seen anything so beautiful, he thought.He ran his fingers through her hair but then snapped them back when she moved.“Hmm…is it morning already?” she yawned and sat up. Her cover moved from her upper body, revealing the smooth skin which reminded him of the warmth he felt last night.“Are you blushing, Mr. Bad boy?” she said as she stared at him intently.“Um…fuck no? What are you still doing here? You should get out of my room before everyone else knows what we did last night,” he barked.“You mean how you ravag
Nate woke up in the empty house and released a sigh of relief. Alex was gone so he could breathe again. His presence made him angry. It wasn’t just about Destiny.There were many other reasons for him to hate his twin, which he couldn’t mention to Amelia. He couldn’t tell her everything. She was his only friend, and he was afraid of losing her. He couldn’t tell her the rumors about him were true. His dad didn’t run an innocent business. He was indeed the son of a Mafia leader.His father raised him and Alex as normal teenagers, but he knew that they were expected to join his illegal business once they graduate high school. They were both trained for it since they were kids. They had to endure unbearable torture from their father’s hands so they would be fit to be the next Mafia leaders.Nate didn’t want any part of it. He wanted a normal life. He secretly planned to esca
Nate brushed a few strands of hair from Amelia’s face. She was sleeping peacefully. He should’ve left already, but something inside of him told him to stay.“Hmm…Nate,” Amelia whispered in her sleep and smiled. Nate’s heart started to pound against his chest. Was she dreaming about him? Just the thought itself made him happier than it should have. He avoided falling for a girl for the longest time, but it was getting harder and harder with Amelia. He had to leave and clear his head.“Nate! Hey,” Amelia called to him at school the next day.“Hey Ame,” Nate said, suddenly feeling nervous.She smiled and hugged him. “Thank you for taking care of me again last night. You didn’t have to stay, you know. But I was glad you did.”“I wanted to,” he said.&ldquo
Nate was angry and frustrated. His father treated him more like a tool than a son. He was tired of being used. But there was nothing he could do about it. If he left, his father would find him, and he’d be in even bigger trouble. He had to be patient.He prepared for the show later that night. His father brought an expensive suit for him to wear. It wasn’t his style, but he posed as Alex tonight, who was all about flashy clothes. It wasn’t the first time he had to take Alex’s place. He knew how to act like him. They were twins, after all.He arrived at the show in a few minutes and looked around the building. There were a handful of people walking around looking at the paintings. He felt awkward and out of place. What did his father expect him to do here anyway?“You are Alexander Wolf, aren’t you?” A tall guy with a beard suddenly spoke to him. He was wearing clothes th
