I caught myself staring right at his face. Seriously, if he wasn't this handsome, telling him off would be very easy. He walked closer to me. He kept coming closer until he was so close. Jesus. His intoxicating smell hit my nose. I wanted to move away, but my body wasn't responding to my brain. I gulped. He brought his face close to my ear, and his skin touched mine making me shiver. "Understand?" I heard him say before he redrew back. Smirking one more time, he walked away. What just happened? I hated the effects he had on me, it makes me hate myself so much. I glared at him as he walked away. If looks could kill... "Madam." A lady said, touching my shoulder which snapped me out of my deep thought. "Yes?" I replied quickly. "I've been calling you." "Oh sorry.." I must have really been out of reality. "Your daughter, she will be up in less than two hours. You should go get her some new clothes and food for her to eat." She said. My mind flew. "Thank you. Thank you." I repeat

Ever since that day, I met Cedric at the hospital, we've been talking and all. I got to know more about him. According to the doctor, the cast would be removed from his legs less than a week from now. I was happy for him, I can't imagine not using your own legs to walk especially being that young. Cedric seems to be a very shy person, well most of the time. I met his mom just yesterday when she had come to pay him a visit. I became really nervous around them when his mom suddenly started talking about how he should start searching for a lady. I learnt he hadn't dated for a few years after the heartbreak he went through in his last relationship. I became even more uncomfortable when his mom said I was the right type for him. I've never even thought of being in a relationship after my divorce from Carson. Cedric's mom also seems to be a very nice person... And vulnerable, which makes me think she must have been through a lot. I felt like I could relate to her. "Hello," I said as I a

"So.. Who goes first?" Tessa asked awkwardly. "You." He said. "Okay... How'd you get that accident?" She asked. She has always been curious since he told her about the accident he had but he never told her how he got it. "I was on my way to see my mom, a truck was headed towards my car and I couldn't see it on time, it hit my car." He explained. Her mouth formed into an 'o' "My turn, do you have any connection with your ex-husband?" He asked. "No, I don't," I replied. "Uh.." She started thinking of what to ask. "Where are you from?" She asked. "Britain," He replied. "Do you have any sort of feelings for me? Austin?" He asked. His questions are unexpected. Unlike the other questions she had answered almost instantly, it wasn't the same as this one. Did I have any feelings for Austin? She asked herself Hell. Yeah. Her subconsciousness replied. It was eating her, she wasn't supposed to feel anything for Austin. It was disgusting, after everything he had done to her but she could

It was getting uncomfortable in this situation, you know, hand in hand with Cedric while Austin was staring at us like it was a normal thing to do. What if he wanted to start another fight? I know he really hates Cedric. It's so obvious. It's like he wants to pick a fight with Cedric every time they cross paths. And now they were having a staring contest. We have to leave to avoid any fight. Ugh, I wish Austin would just disappear and I would never have to see him again. I would definitely consider that a miracle. I grabbed Cedric by the arm and practically dragged him past Austin to the elevator. I sighed in relief when the elevator moved. After 4 minutes, we were out of the building. We got back into Cedric's car. He doesn't look happy anymore, like earlier when we had arrived, he was angry. At me? Oh no, that's not good. We literally just started our relationship. Or he could be angry at Austin. Why would he be? It's not like they fought up there... But they fought the last t

I fluttered my eyes trying to get them open. How long have I been asleep? It felt like days. After much effort in trying to get them opened. It finally responded. My eyes opened to see those familiar haunting blue eyes. The painful memories came back, and I looked at where I was. A bed. With him, what would I be doing here... With him? Oh yeah, he did something to make me fall asleep. I was panicking. What if... What if... "I didn't do anything... Yet." He said. I snapped out of my thought and jumped out of the bed. I looked for something to use to protect myself and possibly escape. But there was nothing around. He must have taken everything away. I'm sure he knew I was going to try and hit him with something.. I mean, who wouldn't? I looked down at my body to make sure I was well covered and thankfully, I was. This was the same clothing I wore last night. But the room was different, very different. And something tells me we weren't in that same house we were last night. "Why a
