•54•He Didn't Tell You, Did He?
“Seriously, Adam. Are you planning on drinking yourself to death?” Lucas said in a frustrated voice. Adam ignored him. “Give me the damn bottle.”
Adam had raised his bottle of tequila to his lips to take a swig when Lucas whisked it from his grasp, causing some of the brew to spill on his shirt.“What the hell, man? Give it back.” Adam said and tried to lurch for his bottle with a body that felt like a dead weight as Lucas held it far away from him. “You won't? Fine.”He looked towards the bar and screamed at the woman at the counter, “Hey girl, get me another bottle, will ya? See this party pooper won't let me have fun.”“You're thinking of fun right now?” Lucas groaned in disbelief. “After how much you've hurt Eva you should be on your knees in front of her asking for forgiveness. I thought she meant very much to you.”Adam barked out a laughter that even to his inebriated ears came out like a goat's cry. “Me? Kneel in front of a womanRelated chapters
Kiss Me, Wild One •55•Enough Is Enough
“When she does it, I swear it makes me want to cry.” Victoria whined.“Cry?” June snorted. “I swear it makes me want to grab her tablet and smash it against the wall.”They thought she couldn't hear them going on and on about how frustrating she was being, but Eva did perfectly. Easy for them to say. After all, they weren't the ones whose love had left and hadn't even bothered to contact them.After Ethan had told her over the phone that Adam had left LA, she'd assumed that he'd gone to his cabin in Jackson Hole since he'd once mentioned that he went there to find solace whenever his life got shitty.She'd been woefully wrong. After sitting in the hammock on his porch for about twelve hours with all her calls going straight to voicemail, Eva had finally left, booking a hotel to sleep in before taking the next flight to LA the next day.Still, she'd told herself that Adam had been going through a lot, that he just needed some time to sort his emotions out and to grieve his father. She
Kiss Me, Wild One •56•Hope It's Not Too Late
Before Eva could decipher what June was talking about, her phone had been whipped out of her hand. She shot to her feet to get it back only for Victoria to block her path and hold her in place.“June, I swear that if you do something stupid, I'm going to kill you!” Eva warned.June handed her phone back to her just then. Eva looked done at it and was sure she blanched. “No June you didn't.” She threw a glare at June over Vicky's shoulder. “'I'd love to go out with you?' Seriously?”“Come on, it's not that bad.” Vicky finally let go of Eva's arms. “Eva I think you should give Xander a chance. Who knows what might happen?”Sighing, Eva slumped back onto her bed. How could she explain to her friends that she loved Adam in a way no man could ever make her love him?But Adam doesn't care about you! He has moved on! Her subconsciousness screamed.“So?” it was June who spoke.Eva scanned her friends' faces, taking in the hope that shone so brightly, and she nodded. “Yes, I'll go out with him
Kiss Me, Wild One •57•Xander
Eva gritted her teeth in annoyance, wishing the earth would swallow her up as Vicky applied some blush to her cheeks. Done, the woman leaned back to assess her handiwork.“Wow, my God, and I thought I was already used to your beauty.” June sighed dramatically, standing behind Eva's chair. Eva rolled her eyes.After June had sent that text to Xander, the man hadn't wasted time dialing her number. He'd been so excited that she'd decided not to tell him that June was the one who had sent the text, and they'd arranged their date for this afternoon.Vicky had wanted to doll her up like it was her freaking wedding. Eva protested for no make up, but her friends had bargained for a light make-up instead.Vicky shifted from Eva's front so she could look at herself in the mirror. Eva had to admit that she looked stunning. Wearing the strapless pink chiffon straight dress that ended above her knee which her best friends had purposefully selected for her with her hair styled to look wavy and a sma
Kiss Me, Wild One •58•You Lied?
The large HOLLYWOOD appeared atop a spot which overlooked an endless stretch of mountain tops and shops and houses. Xander stepped over the fence which led to the words, then helped her so that she didn't roll down the hills.They stepped under the large D of the HOLLYWOOD. Even though she'd seen this before, Eva couldn't help but marvel at the vista being there offered. It made them appear like gods, and she couldn't believe they'd been driving along the bustle of the sidewalks down there about an hour ago.He pulled out their bowls of ice cream after they'd sat down, handing her one. It was accompanied by a wooden spoon. As Eva tore off the lid and took the first spoonful of the sweetness, memories she didn't want to remember fanned through her mind.Memories which had once been so beautiful but now only filled her with pain every time she thought of them. Luckily, Xander didn't seem to notice anything.Over their ice creams, the man regaled her with his endless amount of jokes, th
Kiss Me, Wild One •59•You're Not Needed Here
Adam watched the look on Eva's face transform from shock to awe then to denial, his heart hammering against his chest. God, she looked more beautiful than ever, and he'd missed her so bad.“Adam.” His name tumbled from her lips breathlessly. Before, it would've made him burn with molten desire, but today, all it did was prick him with guilt.“Wait!” The man she'd been kissing earlier said, eyes widening as he looked at Eva. “That's Adam? As in Adam Garcia?”“The one and only.” Adam stepped forward, figuring Eva had told him about them. “And it's not a pleasure to meet you.”“You're the stupid idiot who broke Eva's heart?”Adam gritted his teeth, any comeback he would've had dying right in his mouth because he knew the guy was so damn right. Only a stupid idiot would judge a woman like Eva so quickly.Ignoring him, Adam focused his gaze on the woman he was after, finding her eyes still transfixed on him like she couldn't believe he was standing there. “Eva...”She seemed to snap right
Kiss Me, Wild One •60•Pyromaniac
Adam entered the Bar where he and his friends loved to come to discuss stuff over alcohol. Most of the time it was quiet, but occasionally there was a band playing some music. Today was one of the latter days. A band of four people were on the makeshift stage playing some jazz music.It was just his luck that they were playing his father's favourite song. Adam grimaced. It was these little things that made him miss his father so much.He spotted Raul and Ethan at their usual table and went to join them. “Yo, guys.” He said, fist bumping with each one of them before slumping into one of the free two chairs available.“Where's Alfredo?” He asked, frowning.“Sorry dude,” Ethan shook his head regretfully. “I don't think he's coming.”“He's still angry with me.” Adam said in exasperation.“More like pissed off.” Raul corrected. “He never received the proper apology he wanted, forgotten?”Adam had to groan. Among all the people he'd reconnected with a month ago, Alfredo was the only one who
Kiss Me, Wild One •61•Let Me Explain
Sweetheart. The enderment Afam used for her sent an army of wonderful memories marching through her mind, things he'd muttered to her whenever they made love, but it didn't take long for the turbulent force of anger to sweep them all away. She shot to her feet, leveling him a look that only showed her anger. Not the teeny bit of happiness she felt. "What are you doing here, Adam?""I came here to take you out for lunch." He announced.Eva chuckled, actually caught of guard by his unabashed audacity. "Yes, and I'll go with you because this is something we've been doing for the last four months." She shot sarcastically.Adam let out a heavy sigh, obviously at her hostility. "Eva, so much time has passed. You know we need to talk.""It's exactly because so much time has passed that I know that I have nothing to say to you." She sneered.Yesterday, head reeling from seeing him again, she'd nearly given him the time of the day. She'd ran into her house before she could allow herself to g
Kiss Me, Wild One •62•Like The Covid
“Raul, are you sure this is going to work?” Adam asked anxiously, turning to look at Raul who was in the front passenger seat beside him.Raul let out a breath of exasperation. “Adam, I never promised you a rose garden. If this backfires, it's all on you.”Adam nodded, grimacing as he parked the Subaru along the street. Ever since the episode in Eva's office, the woman had been avoiding him like the Covid-19. For a whole damn month.She'd blocked his number on her phone. The first time he'd gone to her office again, her secretary had threatened to call security. Seeing that she was very serious and his charm wasn't working like it'd done the other day, he'd left resignedly. He couldn't even see Eva during her breaks or after she'd closed because that bastard was always there; taking her out for lunch, then riding with her in her car after she'd closed.When he'd gone to Victoria's cafe yesterday after Lucas had told him Eva was around, June and Victoria had ignored the people they w
