Becca POVIf you had told me that one day I would be locked up in a room with Bas, our hands tangled, our breaths ragged, and our tongues battling in each other’s mouths, I would have called you a liar and probably despised you for life. But here I was, lips locked with Bas. My mind screamed at me to stop, to push him away and leave, but my body refused to listen. It was as if I were under some sort of spell, unable to resist his touch. Bas continued to kiss me, his lips pressed against mine with a newfound sense of urgency. I could feel the passion radiating off of him, as if he had been holding back for so long and was finally giving in to his desires. This was not like the last time we kissed in his apartment; it was more intense, like a flood breaking through a dam that had been holding it back for too long. His lips brushed against mine, teasing and tantalizing as he slowly grazed my lower lip with his teeth. A soft moan escaped me, and I melted into the kiss, our mouths explo

Becca POVI barely got any sleep last night. All I could think about was the way his eyes locked onto mine, his lips pressing against mine, and the sensation of his hands on my body. Ughh. Get your head out of the gutter, Rebecca. I scolded myself. How could things escalate so quickly in just a span of seconds?“Thanks so much for coming to visit,” the elderly Sister said with a smile.“Thank you for having us. I’m really glad I met such lovely people like you,” I replied with a smile“You’re always welcome here,”“And you keep an eye on Bas for me. He tends to be strong-headed, but he’s a softie within,” she added, her gaze flickering to Bas briefly. I couldn’t help but notice the unreadable expression on his face, his jaw set firmly. Something was definitely off. Turning back to the Sister, I mustered a small smile, hoping to mask my unease.“We should get going,” Bas said as he walked to the car.***The car ride was very quiet. Well, I didn’t expect us to be all laughing an

Bas POVI really wanted to look at her, into those beautiful hazel eyes. Even if it was just for a moment, I wanted to see her. But I couldn’t. I knew that if our eyes met, I would lose whatever little self-control I had left. Just like last night when I was I was torn between giving in to my desires and listening to the voice telling me to stop. I did the right thing by stopping but I won’t lie, part of me wished I didn’t listen to that voice telling me to stop. I wished I could’ve kept kissing her, exploring every inch of her, all night long. But that couldn’t happen. We couldn’t get attached. Our lives were fated for an unfortunate prophecy, and I couldn’t allow anything to stop that. It was crucial, and I couldn’t bear to watch my father disappointed again. But the mere thought of her lifeless body overwhelmed me, suffocating me with a pain I couldn't understand. It was as if the air had turned heavy, pressing down on my chest. Was it too late? When had I let my guards down and

It had been three days since Austin told me about Tom’s little secret, and throughout these days, I kept asking myself, maybe just maybe there was a reason. But no matter how much I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, there were still some dots that didn’t fit in. Austin had suggested we go after him and confront him, but I suggested we wait. Confrontation could backfire, and the truth might remain buried. But deep down, I couldn’t fathom the fact that Tom would ever betray me. I know he won’t.“Are you just going to stand there or let me in?” Tom said, his grin stretching across his face. My hand tightened on the doorknob. When Tom wasn’t around, I felt more certain that he wouldn’t betray me. But now, standing before me, doubt crept in. What if he couldn’t be trusted? With a forced smile, I slowly opened the door, welcoming him inside.“Ugghhh, it’s so good to be back,” he sighed, sinking into the couch. I avoided his gaze as I headed to the kitchen, my mind racing with un

Becca POV“I can’t believe prom’s just a few days from now,” Lola exclaimed with a squeak as we strolled down the hallway.Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she bounced on her toes, unable to contain her enthusiasm.“Guess who’s auditioning for prom queen – me! I can’t wait to rub it in Maddy’s face when Carter and I are crowned king and queen.”“Yeah, great,” I replied absentmindedly, my gaze wandering off into the distance. My shoulders slouched with uncertainty, and my brows furrowed as I got lost in my thoughts. Weeks had passed since the CCW, and here I was, more confused than ever. My plans of getting closer to Bas and using him to my advantage had failed miserably. He avoided me, and I didn’t have the courage to face him. And let’s not even talk about the book. I couldn’t even tell Ravi all that happened; how could I tell him about what happened with me and Bas?Lost in my thoughts, I didn’t realize Lola had stopped talking and was now staring at me intently. She studied

Becca POVTake it offThe voice in my head rang over and over as I stood in front of the mirror, gazing at my reflection. Brown hair styled in a half up and down 'do, with two strands framing my face, My eyes captivating and intense thanks to the eyeliner that outlined my eyes and the mascara that coated my lashes making them long and fluttery. The hint of blush on my cheeks gave my face a rosy natural glow.My hands gently touched the fabric of the dress hugging my body, the soft material accentuating every curve. It was beautiful. No, I shouldn't. I should take it off.As I reached to remove the gown, I hesitated, unable to move my hands. What was I doing?Just then, Lola burst into the room, her eyes widening in awe as she beheld me. “OMG, you look breathtaking. Red definitely is your best color,” she exclaimed, her grin infectious. Red was always your color. I claimed I didn’t care about him, that I hated him and wished he never existed, and I even dreamt of the day

BAS POV I tried to ignore it all the rapid thud of her heart, the way her breath hitched, the sound of her hurried steps. I'd set boundaries, drawn lines, but here I was, crossing them once more. Her hazel eyes widened at my sudden appearance, and I couldn't tear my gaze away from her, dressed in the gown I'd sent. She looked stunning, and for a moment, I was lost in her beauty. Approaching her slowly, I stood before her, unable to contain my admiration. "Breathtaking," I murmured, unable to find a word that could adequately capture her essence. Every fiber of my being screamed that I shouldn't be here. I had too much going on, especially with the recent revelation about Tom's deceit. I had no time for this, but despite it all, I couldn't resist the pull to see her. As I locked eyes with her, I sensed her inner conflict, and guilt began to gnaw at me. What was I doing? This wasn't right. "I... I should leave," I muttered, turning to go, but her words stopped me in my tracks. "I

Becca POVI couldn't believe I'd just confessed to Bas. Who would have thought my prom night would end up in Bas's apartment, with us kissing under the moonlight? Did I regret it? No. Would I do it again? Absolutely. For once, I wasn't going to heed the voices in my head; I was going to follow my heart.Perched on the counter, I watched Bas. Tonight, he seemed to exude an irresistible charm, making him even more handsome than usual. His movements around the kitchen were graceful, and there was a certain magnetism about him that drew me in. Every now and then, he would cast a glance in my direction, his smile sending a flurry of butterflies fluttering in my stomach."This should help with the cold," Bas said, placing a steaming cup of hot chocolate in front of me on the table."Thanks," I replied, taking a sip. The warmth of the hot chocolate enveloped me, banishing the chill from the night air. It was exactly what I needed after running around like a madwoman in the chilly night.Turn
