"Oh my Gosh!" Leigh exclaimed, staring wide eyed at the really tall building in front of her. Willis was driving through the parking lot of the elaborate building. It stretched upwards for as far as she could see through the window of the car. That had to be some dope building Leigh thought, her mouth hanging open in awe.
"Where in the world are we?" She asked when she finally recovered from staring in wonder.
"We are at the Luminous Hotels." He announced like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"The what?" Now, she stared at him in disbelief.
"Luminous." He provided. "Luminous Hotels."
"The same one that won hotel of the year in the country?" She still couldn't believe it. She knew cause they had been given homework to write an essay on it and she had done her research.
"How can you.... Did you have this planned before hand?" No. He couldn't have. She knew that even when one made a reservation months in advance, they still had to wa
“Don’t hold back Willis, give in and give me everything.” “You know I had a plan,” Willis began, voice deceitfully calm in a stark contrast to how his hands were racing along the fine lines of her body as he guided her or rather stumbled with her back into the penthouse.“Mmmm, you did?” Far from calm herself, Leigh struggled to keep her voice light and playful.“Sure I did,” they were more or less swaying together to the soft music now. “I was planning to seduce you with dinner,” he nuzzled her neck and she almost melted against him. “A little stargazing.”“I think…” Think straight Leigh! “I think we did stargaze.”“Mmmm, maybe. Then I thought if it wasn’t too cold then the pool…” He was nibbling on her throat now, tasting the sweet flesh just above her collarbone where her blood beat franti
THE FINAL CHAPTERLeigh woke up to the intense feeling of pleasure coursing through her body. She turned, expecting to roll back into Willis’ arms but instead was yanked back by her hips which refused to budge. Confused she peered one eye open, then another and found quite shockingly, the reason for her pleasure and discomfort. Willis was down there. Right there between her legs and he was…Even as the realization of hit her, her body peaked sending her soaring and clearing every last trace of sleep. By the time her breathing had returned to a somewhat normalcy, she found him propped up on his elbow, smiling at her.What in the world? “What were you—why did you—what the…?” she trailed off unable to bring herself to finish the question, and glared at him with indignation and embarrassment.To her surprise and annoyance, he laughed. Willis threw his head back and let out his deep, rich la
She ran. Even when her heart broke into shards and all she wanted to do was scream and scream, She ran. Past the elevators, past the gate, onto the busy streets, yet she kept on running. She could hear him behind her, the heavy footsteps that pounded the pavement just behind her could be none other than his, So she ran. She would not let him catch up with her, she would not let herself be drawn back into his arms. She ran. When her legs felt like logs of wood on fire, she did not slow down not even for a breath of fresh air her burning lungs so desperately craved. Running was all that was left, was all she could do. She had to get as far away from him as she could. She had spent her last bit of courage telling him that story, she had none left. How could she bear to face him now? She ran. She heard shouts, screams, someone was calling her name, saying something, telling her to stop. Throu
"Is that the new girl? The one that transferred?" Willis asked his best buddy Jer, already licking his lips. She was a pretty little thing, all curved in the right places and she had a slight blush staining her cheeks as she walked down the hall. So she was a shy one. Willis thought. He liked them fierce, but he could do shy. He already felt the bud of anticipation blooming deep in his gut as he thought of ways he could make the pretty shy girl become fierce while screaming... "Dude!" Jer's fingers snapped in front of his eyes bringing him out of his wayward thoughts. "What?" He asked irritated. "She's the one. Leigh. Leigh Raekens. You gonna do her?" Willis made a show of leisurely throwing his can Pepsi into the thrash nearby. The can rolled round its tip twice before dropping in with a clank. A self satisfied smirk lit up his lips as the girls in the hall swooned at him. "Consider her already Done." "Dude she's not your type," Jer argued. "She's shy, reserved, doesn't even
Saints Academy indeed lived up to the direct opposite of its name. The school had no one left to be called a saint. Absolutely no one! Everyone was either sleeping with someone, doing drugs, being part of a gang or juggling all together.It was a little wonder Leigh's former principal had recommended her to a school like this. It was a school for the socially delinquent. You either join the tide and be carried away by it or drown trying to go the opposite way or very well just stay clear of the muddy water. The school itself, was painted the colour of muddy water. Fits. Leigh thought as she walked through the crowded halls. She hadn’t been able to take a good look at the exterior of the building as her mother had practically dragged her reluctant ass all the way in. From what she could tell though, the school was a three story, red bricked building that looked like those ancient places she only saw in movies. Though inside, it boasted of modern day decorations and met up with demands
"When I see your faces next week, it had better be with your completed projects!" Miss Janelle said just as the bell went off for recess and everyone scrambled out of class and headed to the cafeteria.Leigh took her time packing her bags, until the class was empty of students. Then, she walked up to Miss Janelle's table where the older woman was arranging files."Miss Janelle?"The History teacher's eyes snapped up, surprised that a student stayed back after the bell had called for freedom. She knew most students didn't like her class as they preferred 'new stuff' to 'old stuff' but she loved her job and was bent on making her students see the beauty of the past. Hence, the project she had given them a couple of weeks ago, on Korean culture."Yes.....""Leigh." Leigh prompted. "Leigh Raeken. Newly transferred," she continued in a bored tone."Right, Leigh. How may I help you?""I wanted to submit this." She pulled a blue file out of her cheery pink backpack and handed it to the teach
Finally, classes were over. It was time to go back to her somewhat normal life as a teenager. One who didn't have to pretend to be someone else to the whole damned school. Leigh hurriedly packed her bags and skipped out of the school grounds amidst the flood of students. It was early November yet the sun still shone bright and hot like it had no intention of paving the way for winter. Then again, Leigh thought, raising a hand to wipe the droplets of sweat trailing down her forehead, the weather here was never predictable. She couldn’t wait to be out of the fiery heat and into her much cooler and quieter room. Students here at Muddy were loud. Scratch that, extra loud and lousy. As if to prove her point, a group of boys ran past her nearly knocking her down, shouting and laughing at the top of their voices. Yeah, Leigh affirmed to herself, she so couldn’t wait to be back home. Most of all, she couldn't wait to get on the phone with Thea, her best friend and fill her in on all the d
The rest of the week went by uneventfully for Leigh. She hardly saw Willis at all except the few times he would suddenly pop up behind her, say his greetings and disappear again. Leigh had a feeling he was laying it low till the party and she could barely wait for him to make his next move. Finally, the long awaited Saturday came. She had gotten up early, well much earlier than she did on weekends to get her things in order and by ‘her things’ her hair was the major problem. The curls just wanted to be let loose and bounce around as freely as they’d like. “Well, not today,” She told her curls through the mirror and mercilessly ran a hot comb through it again. Thea would be meeting her at her place in an hour's time so they could both prepare for the party. When Thea had asked if Willis would be picking them up, she had replied negative. He hadn’t even bothered to ask where she lived. He had however, later that week dropped a scribbled add
