"Hello, Mum!" Gracie smiles at her mother before awkwardly shifting herself inside the room. Weekends with her family have always been the worst. She wouldn't have realized how much liberal and freedom people need until she moved out. Her family environment, constant discipline and gatherings are too suffocating for her. Every weekend, when she comes to visit her family to attend dinner, she feels like throwing up under the tensed and compressed environment. Her so-called mother silently approves of her arrival as Gracie quietly sits at the dinner table, already counting seconds. This can't get any more boring than it already is! The usually bubbly girl, yawns secretly at the business talks that have been happening for two hours. And suddenly she realized her cousin Ellen wasn't here today. How luckier can Ellen be than this! "So, Gracie, how's your studies going?" The oldest uncle of hers spoke with a low grunt, clearly not interested to know the answer but asked out of formality.
"Come on, I will help you." Jason spoke softly. Gracie smiled in return as he easily slid his palm against her waist. "Now put your foot here." He instructs. The moment Gracie does what he says, she feels him forcing his hands upwards to pick her up and place against the seat, "Woah!" she exclaims. He laughs and sits as well. "Are you ready? Hold me tight!" He utters before handing a helmet to Gracie and fixing one on his head too. Safety comes first, darling! "Jason! It's no time to joke around." Gracie says, her cheeks turning salmon. "Oh no, Gracie! I ain't joking. Hold me tight because this is gonna be very fast." Gracie rolls her eyes but obliges as usual. "Ready, set, HERE WE GO!" Jason cheers with full force and accelerates his motorbike. The speed caused her entire body to be alert and jerk forward with a whimper. And in a matter of seconds, she felt her entire body flying in the air. At the silence, Jason accelerates the bike more which causes Gracie to hold onto him t
The sun streaks to her cheeks as Gracie comfortably shifts to the warmth of a body. Her figure inches closer while her lips curved into a small smile. She felt Sun's warmth enveloping her, along with a heat from a foreign source distributing throughout her body. Lazily opening her eyes, she oddly felt very light and happy. Maybe she had a very good dream, she thought. When she was about to do her morning stretch she felt a weight restricting her movements. It took her several trials of thoughts to conclude she was in Jason's house and her head right on top of his bare chest with his muscular arms encircling her waist protectively. His room was more towards the contemporary style. White walls, turquoise blue curtains and solid white wooden furniture. Everything about him including his hair is white or aesthetically silver. The event of last night played within her head. Wait, did I lose my virginity already? She panicked in her head. Nah! A side of her exclaims calming her down for
"Okay. So all you have to do is scare whichever guy my Mum will make me meet. Simple!" Gracie stated as she snaked her arms around Niall's muscular ones. The boy simply gave her a glare, a judgemental one before clicking his tongue. "Your plan is straight up suicide for me, if my mom or Sira finds out." He barks. Gracie frown at his statement before pleading with her doe eyes. "Pretty, please?" She whines a little. "Seriously could you not have hired someone else for this? You literally get ten times more expenses than me every month!" He exclaimed rolling his eyes and then sarcastically turned to face her. "Did I have to be the one going to the man you are supposedly having a date with and be like, hey man keep it lowkey and don't scream but I'm having a secret relationship with your future wife so please leave us alone?""Yes! Such a great memory you have." Gracie rolled her eyes. "I swear this plan always works!" She promises although he didn't seem convinced."Why couldn't you
Sitting in the noisy cafeteria of her school, Gracie stares at the girl before her who seems to be eating alone silently. Niall sitting next to her, equally defeated, trying to stir a word from her mouth. It was the middle of the day and Gracie had just two more classes to attend, so the girl decided to spend her break talking to Sira. "She didn't come back to me last night!" Niall's displeasing whines. "Nor did she go back to her apartment." "Where did she go?" Gracie queries, worry portrayed on her face. "To my parent's house, obviously." He states. "Mom and her were ganging up on me. I swear to God, my own mom is siding with her-" Niall's speech was halted when Sira glared at him. The poor lad gulped before answering, choosing his words cautiously, "I mean as she should. Of course, what I did was unacceptable, therefore my mom should be with Sira." He finishes. Sira violently bites her sandwich, piercing Niall's soul with her bambi eyes. "Sira! Please, hear me out!" As Gracie
Flashback'22 June, 2021 13:11 pm' Jason sighed, glancing at the digital wall clock as he waited for his mother on the dining table at his house. Los Angeles, the big city that everyone loves to talk about, is the second most crowded in California. Being born in the city of luxury and fame, indeed is an experience of a lifetime but every rose has its thorns. Being too exposed to certain things could create chaos in anyone's life including the private one. Jason's mother had raised him on her own since he was five. The woman had gone through betrayals and abuse at an age when all a girl needs is love and respect. Considering love, it was all fake. She realized it as soon as her arranged husband asked her to abort the child she was carrying. Why? He didn't want to take over such a responsibility, not when his career was at its peak. Her multiple denials and stubbornness made him react to things violently and often physically. The woman went through a lot but somehow saved her child an
"You are so dead." Jason grunts before placing a few more punches on the tall man's face. Whether it was her or anybody, no one ever dared to unbend any rules and limits under his watch, yet someone did that to 'her'. "Jason, stop!" Gracie calls out before Harold could hold his friend. She tries to support the remaining fabric on her body. Jason's ear perked up at her voice and immediately ran to her while taking his shirt off. "I got ya!" Harold exclaimed softly before pulling his bomber jacket over Gracie and helped her zip it. The girl was so scared that her anxiety kicked in causing her hands shake and vision go blurry. "Thank you." She mumbled to which Harold smiled reassuringly. Jason stopped at the second button as he found her already covered and safe. "Take them out, I will deal with them later." Jason ordered the guards while buttoning the two buttons of his shirt back, which somehow went unnoticed by Gracie. Harold clicked his tongue as his phone rang for the fifth time
"Hello, gorgeous!" Greets a deep yet sweet voice, which causes Gracie's hand to move to her chest dramatically. "Gosh, Shaun! You scared me!" She complains, shutting her locker and throwing a hand at the boy with blonde locks. Her stressed self turned into a delighted one as soon as she noticed his giggles. "Haha! I hope this makes up for my mistake then." Shaun says smilingly, shaking two containers of coffee in his hand in a way to offer the girl. "Well, this will be enough." She speaks before having one cup in her hands. It doesn't matter if the world is burning with the heat waves of summer, a coffee person could never miss a chance of a free coffee treat. Loyalty at its max! "So, how was your trip boy?" Gracie asks as the two walk down the hall to their first classes. Shaun was a classmate of hers and to mention honestly, her biggest competition in academics. The blonde boy was all about 'learning with experience' and so he had recently visited Rome in order to get the ideas
