JENNIFER“You seem a bit more bothered than usual,” I said as I cleared my throat sitting behind him on the court bench.But then, he ignored my statement and acted like I wasn't even next to him. I hated that my stomach was in a constant churn of anxiety, overwhelming me so much that I fidgeted my fingernails.I looked around the court to find Logan and the other team members on the court as they carried on with the game.Everybody around the court noticed the distance between Ryan and me, which was so unusual.I hated how it was, he made me feel like I followed him around like a lost puppy. I took my gaze off the court as I busied myself as much as I could but then all of that wasn't helping.“Have I done something wrong Ryan?” I asked as I crossed a leg over the other staring at him from behind.And the next thing I knew, he got up on his feet and headed for a change of location.“Why are you doing this?!!” I shot at him in annoyance.“I just asked a question a while ago and now yo
JENNIFERI arched a brow staring at the gentleman behind me. His eyes were the darkest blue I had ever seen, he had messy black hair tossed to the side and a wide grin showcasing his teeth as I stared at him.“So what now?” I glared at him.“Are you also going to scold me for sitting here as well?” I said as I crossed an arm over the other.“Go on!” I said glaring at him.“Jennifer!” Ursula called over to me from the mini bar, waving a glass. I forced a smile at her as I waved back. I had no dirty plans of getting drunk for the night, but then from the look of things, I was going to have to bail out soon in order not to be.“Jennifer, hmm nice name!” The voice of the gentleman beside me snapped me out of the hazy thoughts. “A drink from me!” He said as he placed a glass on the table in front of me.“Yeah, no thanks!” I replied pushing the glass off to the side pulling a few strands of my hair to the back of my ear.My eyes roamed around the room, and I felt a bit frustrated seeing tha
JENNIFER“Code Red!” I yelled walking over to the bar I pulled her by the arm as she stumbled to the ground.I could tell from her reaction, that she was overly drunk already.“Fuck!” I said as I placed a hand over my head in frustration. I took her by the arm and I pulled her up with all the strength I had left.“What's the rush girl?!” Ursula said as she staggered trying to gain her balance.“Look at me!” I said shaking her hands as I held her by the cheeks pulling her face directly on me.“You are drunk!” I said.“And this is the part, where I’d say we need to leave,” I added looking directly into her eyes.“Okay okay, there's no need for you yelling mother!” She said pouting her lips at me.“Let me just go get my purse, I’ll be right back!” She said turning to face the bar.I got pissed almost immediately, the moment I realized the purse she had talked about a while ago, was right under her arms.“Jeez!!” I yelled as I grabbed her by the arm pulling her away from the bar headed fo
JENNIFER"See you tomorrow guys," Miss Sarah said right before she walked out of the class.It wasn't any surprise that Ryan couldn't get his eyes off her, from the very minute she stepped into the class till the moment she walked out.My mind flashes back to all of the moments I had seen him stare at her with so much lust in his eyes. Making the curiosity I got from just paying attention to the energy around them fastened by the minute.As we all sat in our spots in the classroom, giggling and chatting about what not, trying to keep ourselves busy with whatever we had in mind to do for the rest of the day, the bell for the lunch break rang as other students ran out in a hurry like prisoners who had been locked in for years."Hey Tom!" Logan yelled."You guys coming or what?" He added throwing the door opened.I felt a bit disgusted from his reaction wondering why he sounded so loud and annoying, standing in front of the class."Sure, we are coming" Tom said smiling at Logan as he got
RYANBANG! I shot straight out of bed, falling off to the ground the minute I heard a loud commotion outside my bedroom door.“Get your ass up, Man!” Tom yelled banging on my door repeatedly. “Shit, what the hell Man?!” I yelled back as I shoved my head further under the silk pillow on my bed.“Come on man!” Tom kept yelling.I sighed, finally pulling myself up as I walked over to the door sluggishly rubbing on my eyes.“We are going to miss the game dude!” “What's keeping you?!” Logan yelled standing next to Tom.Immediately, I quickly remembered I had agreed to hang out with Peter over the night. “Fuck!!” I said tapping on my hair as I had the locks to my bedroom opened.“What in the world, were u doing here?” Tom asked walking into my bedroom, and shoving me off to the side as Logan followed suit.“We are going to be late for the game, and Logan’s playing!” Tom said sitting on my bed.I glanced over at my watch, and my eyes widened at how late we were going to be if I spent any mo
RYAN“We're so screwed!” I said staring at the video, sent by Jennifer.It turned out to be a video, with Sarah and I in her office making out.I ran my fingers through my hair, staring at my phone screen, wondering how the hell she had done this.“What in the world is this?” I exclaimed to myself staring into an abyss.I shifted in my seat awkwardly, as I suddenly felt worried over the fact that there was a video of Sarah and I in front of me, and a copy with someone else.And even worse, it happened to be in the wrong hands.Jennifer’s!!!…“Fuck!!” I said punching the steering wheel in anger as I tossed my phone to the side, burying my face in the steering.The trumpets from the courtroom pumped through the speakers loudly, as I wished for all of what was about to happen to stay in my head and would somehow turn out to be a nightmare that I was opportune to open up my eyes from.“I can't believe this is happening!” I said trying so hard to hold in my emotions.“No!!”“No!” I muttere
RYAN“Even worse, he had most properties bought in my mother's name sold without her consent,” He added, sounding a bit pissed from the tone of his voice.“What the hell?” I asked feeling a bit shocked that a man his age and status could do such a thing.“Had her signature forged and all of that,” He said.“We have all of that resolved already anyway,” He added.“And for now, we have possession of those properties taken back from them,” Peter continued.“But, we have bigger problems at hand that we’d still have to deal with,” He said.I paused staring at him, wondering what he meant by them having bigger problems at hand. I turned to the side facing him fully and then I arched a brow staring at him.“What's the bigger problem?” I asked curiously staring straight into his eyes.“The buyers of these properties are refusing to let go, and are sort of causing a scene already with the whole issue,” He replied.“And what about your Father?” I asked crossing an arm over the other.“He’s curr
SARAHI stared into my reflection in the mirror, and I wasn't sure what I could do to myself to be any more ready than I was for the night.Robyn had texted a couple of days ago about his request for us to have a special date night as he called it.I sighed, holding on to my hairbrush as I glanced at the little clock on my dressing table, wondering how long all of what was going to happen tonight would take.After my little romance party, with Ryan in my apartment some nights ago, the rest of the week went by uneventfully. Until I had gotten a text from Robyn days back asking that we meet up, which prompted me to finally step out of my comfort zone.I soon thought about how hard it’s been holding back whatever I was starting to feel for the young man Ryan. I held it together for most of the mornings I had been in the classroom as their substitute teacher. And kept my anxiety attack at bay, but whenever it was we were both out of sight of the people around us, I lost it.I still felt n
