OLIVIAGlancing away from his gaze, my focus shifts to the buckle of his belt. My fingers work quickly to loosen it, as if this is a normal thing to do. Once again, my eyes find him, feeling the weight of his gaze as I do. All I want to see is the emotions in his eyes. I know what I am doing, and I'm doing it anyway. Aiden has a blank look on his face, his face betrays nothing, leaving me to guess what's going on behind those honey brown eyes. I wish I could read his mind. I could only wish. I undo the button of his jeans and gently pull down the zipper. I watch as the denim falls away, revealing the thin fabric of his boxers beneath. I look back at him, but his face is still blank and his eyes don't give me any clue as to how he's feeling. Fine, I take that as a sign to go ahead. I bite my lip. Can I really do this? I've only ever read about or seen porn videos of others doing this, never done it myself. What if I make a fool of myself? Heaven knows I don't want to mess up. I
OLIVIAIt's the start of another weekend! Another late Friday evening! While other kids are probably out, partying, I'm here serving customers at my workplace. But, I don't mind. I like my little life, and at least I'm getting paid for doing this. I look around the shop from my post at the reception counter. Phew, everyone is served. I'll enjoy a break, too. I pull out my phone, which has been on "Do Not Disturb" mode while I am at work. I don't want any distractions, after all. I don't want Mirabel to regret hiring me. I've been slacking off lately, and she's been too kind about it. I have to make it up to her. Opening my phone, I see a few unread messages. A corner of my mouth curls up into a lopsided smile when I notice one is from Aiden. I don't even bother checking the other messages; I open his first. Aiden: Hey, I low-key miss you. My smile widens. Damn, this is not the best time to receive a message like this. Now I won't be able to stop thinking about it, or even imagi
OLIVIAAiden pulls up in front of a building, and even from outside, it is clear that this is a club.The bright lights that outline the building and the booming music inside leave no doubt. And, let's not forget the people lingering around the entrance, most of them paired up by gender. Aiden turns to look at me, his gaze piercing into mine. It is as if he can see through me, into the fear I'm trying to hide. Instead of saying anything, he gets down of the car. I stay in my seat, taking deep breaths. My goal: to be prepared for the world outside. Before I can open the door, I see Aiden standing outside the door. He opens the door for me, offering his hand to help me out. Aiden opening the door for me. A perfect gentleman gesture or what? A line appears between my brows. This seems so strange. Aiden is not the kind of guy who would act like this, and everyone knows it. He is a jerk. So, what's his game here? I step out of the car, picking up my handbag as I do so. I wait for Aid
OLIVIAI keep my gaze on Aiden and the girl walking towards us. Aiden's grin stretches across his face, the corners of his eyes crinkling. The girl has a smile on her face too, and her cheeks are dotted with tiny dimples. Though her smile is not as wide as Aiden's, I can still see the excitement in her face. I sit there, observing the two of them. I swallow hard as the girl reaches us. It's as if she doesn't even realize that I am standing there. I watch as she wraps her arms around Aiden. He returns the embrace, pulling her closer to him. They stand there, embracing for what feels like an eternity, and I remain frozen in place, staring at them like a dummy. Even when they pull apart from the kiss, they seem not to realize I am there including Aiden, who brought me to this club. They keep talking. I do my best to ignore the fact that they're standing so close to each other, with Aiden's arm wrapped around her waist. I can't stand this any longer. It is stupid, me just sitting here
OLIVIAChase's brow furrows as he looks at me, a questioning gaze piercing through me. He takes a slow sip of his drink and after a long moment, he sets the glass down on the table."Hey, stranger," He says. "Are you all right?" I keep my eyes closed, trying to push away the swirling thoughts in my head. I feel like I can't even think straight. I'm not okay. I open my eyes. What did I say to him to make him look at me like that? "W... what did I just say?" I ask, my words coming out in a stutter. Chase shakes his head, a slight frown tugging at the corners of his mouth. “Are you here with someone?" He probes. I force a smile onto my lips. "I am here with someone, but he doesn't care about me. He'd rather be with some other girl than me,"I continue. "You know what? I'm such an idiot. I should have been at home reading, instead of coming here with this bad boy with those pretty brown eyes, and then he ditched me for some other girl. I -”My phone starts buzzing in my bag, and I fis
AIDENI drive a few blocks from Olivia's house, and turn off the engine. Taking a deep breath, I lean back in my seat. Olivia is asleep in the seat next to me, her eyes closed and her features softened in peaceful slumber. How could she be so damn cute even when she's sleeping? I don't want to wake her. I don't know why, but watching her sleep is strangely satisfying. Fuck, Aiden. What the hell am I doing? Watching a girl sleep feels like a total creeper move, especially after everything that's happened between us.I should wake her up. But instead of tapping her shoulder like a normal person, my hand lands on her thigh. I am struck by the urge to grip it, squeeze it, to claim it as mine. "What are you doing?" Olivia's voice slices through the silence. I jerk my hand back to the safety of my own seat. Shit. She's awake. "I was trying to wake you up," I lie. "We're just a few blocks from your house." I sneak a glance at her through the rearview mirror. She adjusts her top and re
OLIVIAI can feel his gaze burning into me. It has to be him. Who else would keep their eyes glued on me in the restaurant instead of minding their own business? I turn to face the source of the stare, and my eyes meet his intense, dark honey brown eyes. I quickly look away, not wanting to hold his gaze. “ This is stupid,” I tell myself.Is it really stupid to be feeling this way, or am I just fooling myself? Why should I be feeling all fluttery just from meeting his eyes? That's the real stupid thing. “He's staring at you again, isn't he?” Ashley asks, sipping her drink. I nod, biting my lip. “ Yes, he is.” I have no idea what's going on in Aiden's mind, but whatever it is, he needs to realize that he looks like a total creep when he stares at me like that.It's been over a week since the whole mess. No contact, not even a text. Yet, he always seems to have his eyes glued to me, whether we're at school or he is at home with Sarah. "What's up with Mr. Hottie? He's like a hawk, m
OLIVIAMy lashes flutter, my gaze locked on the phone in my hand, on the text that seems to grow bolder with each passing second.No, I won't let myself be fooled. I won't fall for Aiden’s tricks, not this time. This can't be for me. Aiden must have made another mistake again. My gaze never leaves the screen as I wait for the “ it was a mistake” message. But, it never comes. I begin to suspect that this is more than a slip of the finger. This is serious.But why? Why would Aiden send me this text after constantly ignoring me and giving me those lingering stares? Is this just another ploy to remain on my mind? If so, it is working. He's always been there, occupying a corner of my thoughts.Wait, does he expect me to reply? Am I being an idiot? Of course, he does.I inhale, hold my breath for a moment, then let it out slowly. It's time to strike back. I won't answer his 'I miss you' text, no matter how many butterflies it sends fluttering through my stomach. He doesn't deserve to be
