I felt numb as I walked back over to the table. The background applause became muffled and all the lights seemed to blind me. Shit, was I having another panic attack? "Congratulations..." Was all I heard as I placed my award on the table. I could see mouths moving but there was no sound. "Excuse me," I mumbled and my eyes met Kiara's for a second before I walked away. My heart was racing as I walked outside and decided to head towards the benches by the fountain. The sound of the rushing water was all I focused on as I sat down and watched the stars above me twinkle. Fuck. It wasn't long before I felt someone grab onto my arm and turned to see Kiara sit down next to me. "Jason, baby, are you okay?" She softly asked and placed a kiss on my shoulder. I looked at her and slowly shook my head as my eyes filled with tears. "It's okay, come here." She added and pulled me into her arms. Shit. I held onto her like she was my only way to breathe... the stole existence of my life. Her h
Kiara walked back outside while I started the fire. It was late afternoon and the sun had turned a soft pink. She had on a white summer dress with a little red flower pattern. Her hair was done up in a bun with all her makeup washed off. Her glasses were also on as she wrapped her arms around me and watched me finish the fire. "I like this." She remarked and rested the side of her face against my back. "The fire or holding me?" I asked as I spun around and held her face in my hands. "I like us." She smiled and placed her hands over mine. "I like us too." I smiled back and then gave her a kiss. Her soft lips pressed against mine for a bit before she pulled away. "I'll go get the meat. Will you pour us some cool drink?" "Sure, love." I nodded and we walked to the kitchen hand in hand. We spent the rest of the afternoon chatting and braaing. It felt so good just to be here with Kiara... doing something as simple as sitting by a fire. It was strange how I enjoyed all the little th
Later that night, I woke up in a bed that wasn’t the one I fell asleep in. I shot up and looked around. I wasn’t in the same room anymore, either."Kiara?" I yelled and jumped out of bed. There was no reply, and my heart was already starting to race. Instead, I decided to do the logical thing and go investigate where I was. I opened the bedroom door and recognised the house. I was by Sue’s mansion, but how?Muffled voices came from down the hallway, so I decided to head in that direction. The closer I got, the clearer the voices came. One was a woman, and the other was a man. The man’s voice sounded so familiar, like an old memory from my past."What are you talking about?!" The man shouted."I can’t do this anymore. I need to take my happiness into consideration!" The woman replied while crying."Aren’t you happy with me?"After a short pause, the woman responded, "No, I’m not. Maybe if it were just you and me... but with the boys… I just can’t.""They're your sons, Emily! You decide
I woke up the next morning, and the spot Kiara slept in was now empty. I opened my eyes, sat up, and looked around the hospital room. I was alone. Where was Kiara?She would have stayed with me, missed work, slept in an uncomfortable chair, and refused to leave my side. I knew her. So, something serious must have happened to make her leave my room. Worry spread through me as I wondered what was going on. I had to get out of this room.I pulled the drip out of my arm, then swung my leg over the edge of the bed. Pain shot up from the wound, but I gritted my teeth and forced myself to stand up. My body broke into a sweat as the weight on my leg made the pain worse. I had on a hospital gown, which let cold air on areas that were usually covered. I had nothing else on under the gown.I slowly made my way out of the hospital room and used the railing on the side of the wall to make my way to the visitor’s lounge."Sir!" A nurse gasped as she noticed me. "You should be resting." She tried to
With Kiara, wow, we had the best intimate connection. She was the best woman I had ever slept with, and she let me try all sorts of different things. Our sex was wild. Then there was the emotional connection. Her and Lulu debated who knew me better, and even though Lulu would always be my best friend, Kiara was my best friend as well.Kiara and I could spend every day with one another and never get bored. Not to sound cheesy, but she was my soulmate; nothing could convince me otherwise. After crossing the "I love you" line, I knew I wanted to have her next to me for the rest of my life."Okay, what colour are we going for? Silver, gold, rose gold, or what about… this black one?" Lulu asked as she pointed at the platinum black engagement ring with a black diamond.We were ring shopping, and I trusted Lulu's opinion more than my own. I knew I wanted to propose to Kiara. I also knew she had just said "I love you" a few weeks ago, and I didn’t want to rush into things, but hell, I was in
We found parking and watched the first set of cars race as we sat on the bonnet of Kiara’s car. The sound of the revving engines, the tyres drifting against the hard ground, and the crowds screaming made me feel like I was in paradise. Dust blew up and music blasted, making the women swing their hips. My heart raced as I memorised the track that the cars raced on and knew exactly how to race it.When my Dad was still alive, he took JB and me here to practise racing. JB lost interest after the first day, but I begged for him to bring me here every day; it’s where I spent most of my time after school when I stole a car good enough to drift in.Kiara yelled as the cars drove past us, and the woman in the red Volkswagen Polo won. The crowd ran to stand around her car as she climbed out."Yay, I’m so happy she won!" Kiara beamed and grabbed my hand.She then jumped off and ran over to the crowd, pulling me along. We pushed to the front, and the woman who won gave Kiara a massive hug as soo
Kiara looked at me, and I smiled as I stepped closer to her. My hands moved over her hips and wrapped around her waist as I pulled her body onto mine."Let Kedwyn and me please you." I said softly before I closed my eyes and pressed my lips against hers.My tongue loved the mint taste of her mouth as I explored. Our tongues rubbed against each other as our saliva missed, and she sucked my bottom lip into her mouth, making a numbing pain shoot from the area. It was painful, but it turned me on even more.My dick was throbbing in my pants, eager to be let free and enter Kiara. Her hands undid the buttons of the shirt I had on and let her fingers mesmerise my chest and move down my stomach. Her nails scratched my skin and made complete desire rush through me again and again. As she moved to kiss my neck, her hand slipped into my pants. Her mouth sucked on my neck as her hand squeezed my dick and moved up and down. I opened my eyes and saw Kedwyn’s eyes fixed on her hand; he had a boner f
The next morning, Kedwyn slipped out early to get to work. I let Kiara sleep in as I took my phone to the lounge, grabbing a pair of shorts on the way out. I had a few notifications. A good morning text from Sue, which she sends every morning; Lulu asking how last night went; and a please call me from Axel. These days, I don’t feel like I'm alone. People cared enough to message me. I no longer woke up to no notifications.I decided to call Axel first."Hey, Axel, man, it’s Jason. I saw you sent me a missed call." I said into the phone as he picked it up."Oh, hey, man." Axel laughed, then added, "How are you? Still with the sexy Kiara?""I’m good, man, honestly, I am. Things with Kiara are…" I paused to smile as I thought about last night. "Great. We're doing well, man.""That’s great news; you two are perfect for each other. Both wild and crazy.""Thanks, man. How are you?""Uh, not too bad. Things with the crew have been silent; I think after you left, it inspired everyone to try to
