Orla's POVHe sat up in surprise as the door slammed against the wall. His shoulders slumped and his eyes became heavy again as soon as he recognized me. His hair was a mess, and I could tell by the look on his face that he was fast asleep when I woke him up."I want to sleep with you.""What?"With those six words, the sleep in his eyes flew away in less than a second. He became alert, and I realized I had said it incorrectly. The line has a double meaning in that which I didn't realize before spitting out those words. "I am trying to say that I can't sleep in my room. Is it possible for me to sleep here?" I asked a small smile on my lips, knowing it would work."Why aren't you saying you are scared?" In a hoarse voice, he stated the truth. "Whatever suits you," I shrugged, He closed his eyes and slumped back on his bed as if I had left while I was still standing in my position. Seriously?I entered his room and stood beside his bed, my hand on my waist, looking down at him."How
Orla's POVHe sat on the edge of the bed when I spread my arms for him to pick me up on his back and carry me away because I was too tired to walk and I couldn't stay back in the room all alone. I wrapped my arms around his shoulder and my legs around his torso; he grabbed my legs first, and I shuddered as his palm came into direct contact with my thighs. I believe it had the same effect on him because he removed his hands from there and hooked his fingers under my knees. As he walked down the stairs, I moved my legs back and forth and rested my head on his shoulder like a small baby.I assumed we were going out for ice cream on the road and had a good time together, but instead he made me sit on the stool in front of the kitchen aisle while he went into the kitchen himself. "I thought we were going out for ice cream," I said, speaking from my head."I am not taking you out at midnight, at least not in these clothes," he said, his eyes moving up and down, "I don't want anyone to se
Orla's POVThe sounds at the door caused me to turn my head in its direction, and he came to a halt in his posture. He then forced me to look at him by grabbing my chin between his fingers."It's just the wind. There is no need to be concerned. Nobody is going to bother us" He muttered against my lips.Disturb us?What does he intend to do?The heat was flowing out from my ears, and my breath was becoming ragged and heavy with the proximity and darkness in his eyes. As his face moved closer to mine, I realized what was going on. I couldn't let him do things that would make me lose my control as well. And as soon as his lips were about to touch mine, I pushed him away and ran into the room. He groaned in disappointment but didn't try to stop or catch me. I went straight to the bathroom and locked myself in it. By the time I got to the washbasin to clean my hands, I was panting heavily. When I lifted my head to look in the mirror, I noticed that my cheeks were tomato red and my eyes
Orla's POVI skipped math class and came to sit on the basketball court stairs while Angus was in class. I have started skipping the math class, which is usually the last one, because the teacher has been acting strangely in recent days. He always summons me to the board and requests that I answer the question in front of the whole class. Maybe he suspects I am cheating or something because I used to be a terrible student who barely passed math exams and now I am doing so well.All thanks to Angus. I never pay attention in math class, but he always manages to teach me by the end of the day and makes me understand the whole course before the exam. This is how I am able to achieve high marks in mathematics. He never misses a class not because he needs to, but because he enjoys solving mathematics questions. He sometimes takes the class of teacher when he goes wrong and now the teacher is double terrified of him. While I was thinking about myself and Angus, I felt a presence behind me,
Orla's POVAs those words left my mouth, we were surrounded by deafening silence. He stared at me without blinking his eyes while I maintained by his gaze. "I can't go against my father," I said again to make sure he understood.I was doing all of this on purpose to show him that he can't get everything he wants so easily. In this life, he will be the one to lose everything at my expense."So you don't want us to be one!" He asked me. I wanted us to be one and left everything for you. You were the one who didn't want it. "They have only me, and they have done everything to keep me happy and safe," I stated. "I can't just flee like that!" I was now saying things in my previous life that I should have said."But, your father...""Don't say anything about my father," I said before he could finish himself. "Would you have gone against your father's wishes if he was still alive?"Following my question, he fell silent. Of course, he did all of this for his father, and I, being the idiot,
Orla's POVMonths passed in a blur, and I had no idea when it was time to say goodbye to the school. Soon, I will be at the same stage where I was mercilessly murdered, and I have decided to exact my revenge on the same day using the plan that I devised.We learned three days ago that prom will be organized by our juniors and teachers, as it is every year. Students began asking others to accompany them to the prom on the same day.It's a big deal for us because this prom is where many of us meet our mates. The amusing part is that they leave with one and return with another. Rogue is not permitted at the prom this year. Because there are only two girls who will most likely not attend the prom this year, and we cannot allow them to mingle with us. They are only allowed to go on a trip and have a competition or have a little fun. We can't accompany them as a couple. As in previous years, there will be a separate prom party for the rogue so most probably it is going to be the same this
Orla's POVAnnie has grown increasingly envious of me since Angus asked me to the prom. She expected him to ask her for the prom. The way she is jealous of me it appears that he is her boyfriend, and I have taken him away from her. This case is when Angus has never talked to her in that way nor has he ever given her any kind of indication. And Dante has tried to talk to me several times, but I have always ignored him because I know what he will say. All he wants is to keep me from going to prom with Angus, which I am not going to do.I will go to the prom and that too with Angus. Not only him but I also want this. I returned to my room after lunch and changed my clothes to get ready for the day. I need to go shopping for prom because all of my clothes are out of date and have been worn at least once. I want to wear a new dress for my prom which is not going to happen again. My mother promised to accompany me and assist me in selecting the best dress for me.I gave myself one last
Orla's POVLooking at so many people at once took my breath away. Angus recognised my predicament and tightened his grip on my arm, reminding me that he is by my side and that I have nothing to fear about. He simply led me somewhere, and I followed him like a lost puppy. He took extra precautions for me on the escalator by holding my palm because my foot slipped twice.He led me to the corner where I had come, and I began looking for the dress, but none of them appealed to me. Angus went back and talked to one of the girls who was guiding the customers while I was looking through the dresses."Ma'am, come with me" she requestedI looked up at Angus, perplexed, and he simply asked me to follow her and walked behind me. She led me to a cabinet containing beautiful dresses."All of these dresses are designer, ma'am. You can give them a shot. They are all lovely and would only add to your allure" She stood aside in case I needed assistance. She was indeed right. These dresses were actua
