Chapter Fifty
Ivy
I woke up on the couch about an hour later. I looked around the apartment and realized that I fell asleep .
…. Billy asked me to stay in this apartment and said he won't be long
The place I'm staying in might belong to him and there were guards at the entrance to insure my safety. I walked to the window and looked around hoping he would be back soon
After a while the door opened and an old yet strong and tall man appeared before my eyes.
I was flabbergasted he entered the house so quietly and calmly as if the house was his. And sat comfortably on the couch near me while two other men in a suit stood beside me.
"How did… who are you ?" I froze for a while and then I quickly grabbed a knife on the kitchen counter and aimed it at him but he seemed unfazed. His icy blue eyes remained senseless at my failing attempt to &nb

Chapter fifty-Two(Bonus Chapter)IvyThe old man handed me the empty blood bad." You saved my life, you donated blood for me that day!”"It could be anyone... ""Do you remember giving up blood that day, baby ?" Cole soothed my back with his hand" I..I don't know... maybe” I was confused , I didn’t even know what to say" Babe look at me” Cole turned me to face him, he had me between his arms so I looked up meeting his ocean calming blue ones"Do you remember anything of that day ?"I averted my eyes to the old yet handsome man beside me and back to Cole as he lightly whispered to me"Babe ?"" I... I remember I was at the reception waiting for the doctor to sign my papers and then they came in a rush .flashback"O - negative ?
"Cole do you know why we are here today ?" I know""Good, how are you feeling right now ?"" I don't really know I'm nervous" "It's okay not to know" I smiled"really ?" He gasped"Yes really , but I'm sure you will.""Are you still going to come and visit sometime ?""Sure I will !""And play with me and Emma as well""Yes ""I'll come and visit you too champ ""That's awesome ! thank you uncle Cole""It's time !"And we knocked on the door and the wonderful Meredith and Jerry Ariston opened up.They were officially granted the adoption of little Cole after five years .

Still I had to make regular quarterly visits during the first year , but I'm sure he wi
Chapter OneIvyCole's eyes pierced through my soul and I just lost track of time for a while. His gaze was soft and mesmerizing. A mixture of warmth and something I could not put into words. As if the blue of his irises calmed all my erupted senses Who would have believed a single look could feel so good...A few hours earlier It was a long day at North High Carolina's University and I was exhausted after my morning classes. Therefore, I decided to go freshen up before heading home. I was in my last year already, which meant this year was final graduation.On my way out of the restroom, I received a text from my unrelated cousin Brad asking me to stop by the library so we could hang out for a while before heading home together; since he was
Chapter Two"It’s getting late, we should hurry" Brad remarked I nodded and we rushed towards the bus station. Cole followed our steps silently. The bus was full to the doors so we hurried up to climb in. First went Brad, he offered me a hand to climb in and Cole after me. By the minute we got in, the door creaked and closed behind us and the driver pulled away. The bus was so full and there was barely enough space to the three of us to fit in the entrance. I had to grip at both Brad and Cole to keep my balance when the bus pulled away. Obviously since North High was a public University, the food and transport accommodations left to wonder. Besides, it was Monday and Mondays are always crowded.Ugh, I cannot stand the noise and wish I had my earphones right now
Chapter ThreeApparently, there was traffic that day, and the road to our destination seemed unreachable in this crowd. We haven’t even reached the first station stop yet. Brad was still talking on the phone; in fact, he was on the phone the entire time and didn't notice what was happening around, He didn't mind the crowd and unsteadiness of the transportation. The bus moved again slowly increasing the speed to reach normal. The road must have been clear all the way until our first stop. From North High CU to where we lived we still had two more stops to go. Luckily, a bunch of students took off at the first stop which left more room for us in the bus."Ah finally some space" Brad motioned to Cole and I and we followed him to the free gathered four seats, of which one was taken already.Brad comfortably took place next to the girl alread
I breathed deeply as I recollected my senses after I hang up my short conversation with Anna but mostly needed some air from the free falling into Cole's arms. Hell that was embarrassing and intimately disturbing. I let out a handful of air, turned around my feet, and walked through the path that leads to my foster house.I usually stayed at my dorm room but I was spending the night at the house today like every Monday of every week. About five minutes of walking, I arrived in front of the big brown wooden door of my foster house.The Pittersons The golden letters ornate the door, above the number one-hundred-seventy-eight 178. The matching golden hand doorbell stood right on the center of the wooden door under the name; and the bell was to the right of the entrance. Not the fancy house though ;It has only three bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room and a dining room opened to
Chapter FiveColeFlashback" You both would make the perfect match" Brad tipsily said showing me a picture on his phone , he thought he did, actually he just lit up the screen and showed me his wallpaper , a picture of his beloved Beyonce. "And you're drunk!" "I'm not" He waved me off shaking his head; he stopped doing so when dizziness hit him. It was as clear as water that he was way too drunk" Yes you so are, Brad come on look at yourself man, you won’t be able to walk after this" I pointed to the glass of neat whisky he held in his hand, hoping to talk some reason into him"Okay, I am not... I mean I am!" He said in between hiccups, I chuckle; he was unbelievable at times."I'm serious though,” He added on my amusement "You were suppose
