“Hello?” I answer by wiping my nose and speaking in my best voice.“Hi beautiful, it's me, what happened?” His voice goes from sweet to stressed in a second.“Nothing.” Damn it, my sniffles have given me away. “How are you? Is everything all right?” I continue.“All good, yes. Now tell me what happened,” he insists.“I failed Hunter. I failed a subject. I have never failed before, not even in high school.” I break down, all of my sadness and rage turning into sobs.“Selena, calm down, please. Just don't cry because it's killing me. I can't stand to hear you cry and not be able to do anything.” His voice is sad like mine.“It's raining here. How is the weather there?” I change the subject. I did not want to ruin his day because of me.“It's sunny, but it's not hot or cold.” He is relieved by the change in my voice.“I heard you were nominated for the award for best player in the world this year. I was super happy about it. Congratulations!” I say, my chest beaming with pride.“Coming f
Hunted By The Player Thinking about you
I am waiting for my suitcase to appear on the collection belt. I am so happy to finally be here as I feared I wouldn't be able to get into the country. The Spaniards are terrible at giving visas and here I thought it was the Americans who played hard to get. I send a message to Hunter, saying that I am already at the airport. It is 8:00 p.m. local time.Hunter: I'm waiting for you in front of door two.Selena: Can’t wait. I love you, H.My smile as I look at my phone is goofy. I wonder what people are thinking when they catch me blushing at a cellphone screen. Finally, my brown Kipling suitcase shows up being one of the last to appear, as always. I might not generally be lucky but sometimes destiny gives me the best, in this case it was my Hunter! I was so lucky that he was my boyfriend.I leave, dragging my suitcase along as fast as I can. There are always paparazzi, but this time I don’t even bother dodging them. I almost pass through the automatic doors till I see Hunter standing b
Hunted By The Player Gluttony
We stay there in the room, lost in each other's bodies, for almost two hours. It seems like we haven’t made love with each other since January, even though we were together only two months ago. But as I lie there, in the bed where it all started, it feels different.He cups me in his arms, the silk sheet wrapped around my body and covering my lady bits, our naked bodies entwined with each other. I never want to leave again.“I don't want to leave this bed today. I think the pizza will have to fly over here.” I yawn, stretching my body. I am so comfortable.“I agree. I want to stay here and enjoy you a little longer,” he says.I'm so on cloud nine. It is so different now and magical. I really am on cloud nine. I like longing for sex.“Missed sex?” I ask him.He gives a small laugh. This one I hadn't heard yet. “I like it a lot more because it's with you and I don't need to worry.”“Like what?” I furrow my eyebrows.“Sex without a condom is much better.” His revelation surprises me.“Ne

“We’d like to have the Fettuccini with pesto sauce, please.” Hunter closes the menu without looking at the waitress who's been staring at him since we arrived. I am used to it by now! The waitress walks away, still comprehending his presence.Hunter focuses his gaze on me.“We have an hour together, and then I have to get back to serious work. I need to enjoy every moment.” He stares fondly at me with those blue glowing eyes.“This is amazing, I love spending time with you.” I take his hand and gently rub the back of it with my thumb. I look out the window, and the people on the street stop to stare at us as they pass by.“I think you've seen the closet, which is why you're so quiet, isn’t it?” he asks. How can he know so much about me?“There's a lot there, right.” I speak with a bit of disapproval. “It's kind of weird, you know? We've been together for six months, but physically together it's not even been two whole months, and when I get to your house, my clothes are stealing your

That was a close call. I reverse back and continue driving. As I enter the market, already feeling uncomfortable. I have never liked walking alone anywhere I go. I chose to come alone this time because I thought I was already abusing Maria too much; she does everything for me, and I believe that this surprise task for Hunter must be done on my own.The girl at the cash register looks at my ID card to check my age. She smiles at me. Oh, how nice it is when people smile at you, even when it’s just while reviewing my ID card.I stash my groceries in the Maserati’s trunk, and as I shut the door, I see my reflection in the glass. I decide to go to a beauty salon.I leave the car parked and walk four blocks to the salon I had seen when I spent a month here in January. Back then, I didn't have the time to go in. It appears to be quite popular and is run by quite a few professionals.I enter the room that is done up in a refined and sophisticated facade. The girl at the reception looks me up

I want to surprise H with an intimate dinner and rush back home to prep, cook, and serve the meal.“I didn't know you cooked so well,” Hunter compliments several hours later, rubbing his hand on his stomach, full from eating my lasagna.“You did not ask.” I am leaning with my head on his right arm in the lounge chair near the pool, where it has since become one of my favourite places in the house.We are there admiring the beautiful moon above us. I don't particularly remember seeing a full moon as beautiful as this. I think it is special because of the special moment right here and now.“My graduation will be on December 12th.” I break our little silence of fatigue.“Excellent. It's going to be around the end of the year. I will be there in the front row,” he says, beaming with pride.I am filled with joy inside, knowing he is going to be there makes me proud. But one thing was still hammering in my head.“What time do you go to the concentration session?” Although it's the tenth tim

HunterI help my beautiful Selena out of the car once we arrive at the party. The paparazzi are in full swing tonight, as it will be our first appearance together since last January.

Our answers match throughout the interviewing, I comply with every word I say to Selena.The club is just opening, and I am the primary name of the night.

“I’ll see you on Wednesday.” Hunter kisses me. He behaves as if he wants to take me in his small suitcase.“I’ll see you on Wednesday,” I repeat, laughing at his cutenessAnd once again, another game. I should be used to saying goodbye to him, but it is an impossible thing. Seeing him drive the silver Porsche out the gate gives me the shivers.I was dressed only in a white silk robe when he kissed me. With his departure, I now feel completely naked. I enter the vast house alone. Maria has been off duty since yesterday so Hunter and I could have some alone time.
