VictoriåI pulled my dress down a bit as I stared in the mirror, watching my reflection staring right back at me. My hair was pin-straight and flowed all the way down to my hips and tonight I wore a black, high-waist leather skirt and a spaghetti-strap, cropped lace top paired with black heels and a small, black purse."Ready?" Mia asked as she sat on the bed behind me and I nodded, turning and grabbing my phone from off of the dresser.We both went downstairs where the others waited and Nathan smiled at me."Damn!" He said loudly on purpose, drawing everyone's attention to me and my cheeks were beet-red. "Let's get going guys." Amelia said, already stepping into the elevator.Eva, Milo, Jason and Piper stepped into the elevator and I pulled my skirt down a bit as I waited for the lift to come back up.I checked my phone, just in case Landon had tried calling but there was nothing.The lift finally came back up and we got in. As the doors shut, Mia began adjusting her makeup using th
He used his grip on my neck to pull me closer, his lips moving against mine and I didn't even fight it before giving in. I hadn't experienced anything like this before. And I didn't want it to end.I kissed him back, everything around us seeming to stop as I did. The kiss was slow and our lips moved in sync with each other. I pulled away as I started running out of oxygen and I kept my eyes closed as he leaned his forehead against mine again.His tatted hand slipped back down to my waist again, pulling me impossibly closer. We still hadn't uttered a single word to each other after all of this time and there was still a heavy amount of intensity sitting in the air as my lips now tingled."Rhee! Have a drink with us!" Mia yelled, not quite seeing who I was with and I turned around.Her eyes widened when they landed on him, not expecting him to be here. She signaled us over and I took his large hand, dragging him through the crowd and over to them. There I found Damien, River and Ryder
VictoriåThe sun started rising and we were still sitting out on that balcony. I listened as Landon spoke in Spanish to the person on the other end of the phone and I understood everything he said."Matarlos a todos." He responded coldly, making my skin crawl. He ended the call after a while, putting his phone on the small table next be to us before his hand landed on my thigh again. His thumb rubbed small circles there and I started getting tired all of a sudden.But our attentions were turned to the door as It opened and I watched as Piper stepped out, giving me an apologetic smile."I'm sorry, but can you help me with breakfast? You're the only one that isn't hungover." She asked kindly and I nodded.She left, shutting the door just as I stood up and turned to Landon. "Are you coming to Paris with us, too?" I asked as I stood directly in front of him.He leaned back, rubbing his hands together before he stood up, completely towering over me and I looked up. "Want me to?" He aske
VictoriåI got dressed into black jeans and a cropped, black top. I put a brown jacket over that and paired it with thigh boots that matched the jacket.I left my hair down and grabbed my black purse from at the edge of the bed. Landon hadn't come back since I last saw him early this morning and I was slightly disappointed. But I knew that he had other things to do.I walked downstairs and was greeted by an almost empty apartment. The last person that remained was Milo, who, was sitting on the couch rolling up some...stuff on the table."Have fun, Love." He winked, picking up the blunt and licking a straight line across it."Thank you." I replied, going over to the elevator and stepping in.As the doors closed, a hand stopped them just as they were almost fully closed and I was kind of uncomfortable as Eva stepped in next to me.It was awkward as the doors shut and the lift began moving. My heart raced as I waited for her to say something mean to me and she stared at me coldly from a
Victoria Then his hand took mine, making me look at him. He raised the back of my hand to his lips, placing a kiss there without taking his eyes off of mine and I was ready to faint."Where were you going?" He asked, checking his watch again and I smiled."Window Shopping." I told him and he nodded once, pushing himself off of the car and opening the passenger door. For someone who had such a bad reputation, he was very chivalrous.His hand still held mine as I walked over and when I got in, he let go and shut the door. He walked around the car, his broad shoulders moving with every step.He got into the car, starting it and instantly driving through the parking lot in the direction of the exit. "What are they going to do to her?" I asked again, anxiety and guilt biting at my mind and he glanced at me briefly."Hang her off of a bridge." He said and I couldn't tell if he was joking or not, because Landon still hadn't mastered the art of jokes."Are you being serious?" I asked as he
VictoriåI was now back at the apartment. Landon had to leave to handle some "Business" and I had to get ready to go to Coney Island with my friends.But my heart dropped as I walked into the bedroom and saw the numerous bags on the bed. I walked over and upon inspection, he bought EVERYTHING that I had tried on. Including the expensive jewelry from that store. Quickly, I grabbed my phone and called him. It rang and just as I thought that it would go to his voicemail, he picked up."Landon, what the heck?" I asked, looking for a receipt in the bag so that I could possibly return these. "Thank you, but this is too much. For crying out loud, this ring is probably worth more that me on the black market!" I said, walking toward the door with the bags."Merry Christmas." He said nonchalantly and I heard a muffled gunshot in the back but didn't panic as I heard him say something to someone in Italian."Landon, Christmas is more than eight months away." I said seriously, struggling to hol
Victoriå"Hey, Landon.It's been a few hours since anyone's heard from you guys. I hope you're okay. Coney Island is great but I'm too busy being worried. I wish you were here. But I'll see you when you get back.Bye."I sighed, watching the Ferris Wheel from where I was currently. I sat alone, staring ahead of me after the Rollercoaster knocked the shit out of me."Hey." I heard from in front of me. I looked up to find Milo coming over.He took a seat next to me, opening a bottle of juice and pouring alcohol into it. Then he sealed it and shook it before reopening it and taking a huge gulp."Why alcohol?" I asked as I sat, genuinely wanting to know. So I could take notes in case I needed to do this as well.He glanced over at me before chuckling, then shaking his head."That's the kindest way anyone has ever asked me why I drink so much." He told me and my eyes widened. I instantly shook my head."That's not what I was asking." I said quickly and he laughed."Relax, I'm kidding. I
VictoriåBy the time we woke up, it was already time to leave for Paris and I was more than excited. The first thing I did after waking up was check my phone. But the only missed calls I had were from different companies.My texts were basically the same thing and none of my previous messages has even been received by him. I sighed, packing the last of my stuff into my bag. I stared at the ring he had gotten me, inspecting it closely. Then I took the necklace he gave me off and slipped the ring onto it before putting it back around my neck."You're really worried, huh?" Milo asked as he came up to grab something from in the other room and I laughed."I'm just... mildly concerned." I replied and he chuckled, leaning his elbow against the doorway by his head."Well, if you ever want to get into alcoholism, I'm your guy." He winked, making me laugh.He chuckled again and opened the door of the roof next to this one, going inside and shutting the door behind him.I put my hair into a nea
