After that day, Roxanne had made a rather rash decision.Seating in the comfort of her house couch with the television turned on, Roxanne snuggled into Colton behind her, enjoying the warmth of her new lover.Colton chuckled as he wrapped his hand tighter around Roxanne. "Ever thing okay?" He asked in a raspy voice beside her ear."Better than ever." Roxanne replied truthfully with a smile on her lips.It had been more than a week since she and Colton began dating, since she had opened up her heart once more to the warmth of someone caring and loving for her, yet she hadn't gotten used to it.Not because Colton was a bad lover, but rather the opposite of that. He cared for her like no other, listened to her and even got her medicines when she had come down with a stomach ache a few days ago.It was almost safe to say he was the perfect lover if not for the fact that Roxanne didn't know his capacity in bed.The blonde shook her head. Right now she wasn't meant to be thinking such thoug
"Roxy, this way." Colton said, motioning towards where their table was.Roxanne glanced at him briefly before glancing back at Lance. This time around he was no longer looking at her but talking to a waiter by his side. He was whispering something in his ears while Julie grinned like a dying hyena.When she looked and found Roxanne looking in their way, her smile expanded even more and she threw her hand around Lance who didn't seem disturbed by it.But Roxanne seemed like she was.Snap out of it Roxanne. She told herself, deciding that if Lance could ignore her and act like nothing ever happened, then she could do the same.Ignoring the looks Julie was sending her and her obvious attempt to show off Lance, Roxanne went and sat down in the table that Colton had reserved for them."Thank you." She said while flashing a smile at Colton as he held her chair open and pushed it in."Not a problem." The male told her as he took his own seat in front of her and beckoned over a waiter. They b
"Jesus Christ, Lance." Roxanne yelled as she quickly covered up her body with a blanket from the prying eyes of Lance."Why the hell are you here? No, better still, why did hell did you just break your way into my home?"Lance smirked, his eyes eying her covered up body before darting towards the sex toys laid out on the bed. Roxanne noticed where he was looking and blushed madly. "Technically I didn't break in. You never changed the code." He said and walked into her room, abandoning his position at the threshold of her door. "Except you purposefully left it that way.""What? What no." Roxanne objected strongly, bed voice rising a pitch as she realize that she had indeed forgotten to change the passcode since the whole escapade with Lance.Sighing, she shook her head. "You know what? Just leave." She said and pointed one of her hand towards the direction of her room while the other one clenched the blanket around her body tightly."Are you really just going to send me off like that?"
Revenge? Tools? Substitute?Roxanne couldn't understand any of what Lance was saying anymore."What...?" She tried to speak but Lance sighed out loudly."Damn, I think I might have spoken too much." He muttered underneath his breath, stating the obvious as reality finally dawned on him.Allowing his emotions run Wilde was indeed a dangerous card.He sighed out through his lips once more and turned to look in Roxanne's direction.Roxanne's eyes were heavy and Lance could see that her fever had returned. She was trying to fight it but he knew it was a losing battle. He leaned forward and placed his hand on her forehead. The heat burned his skin and he instantly removed it from contact with her."Listen," He said in a gentle, yet firm voice. "You need to rest. If you keep in fighting this fever without any help from drugs you'll only worsen the situation and also if you don't take some time to recover." He paused for a moment before adding, "I can stay here while you sleep, if you'd like
Roxanne was stunned.Not only because Lance suddenly brought up the subject of her parents death, but also because he made it sound like they had been killed rather than involved in the accident she was told they had encountered before being rushed to the hospital.She stepped forward, eyes curiously fluttering as she placed her hands on both sides of his shoulder."What the hell do you mean? My parents, they were involved in a car accident, weren't they?"Lance opened his mouth to say something, but then he closed it. He repeated the process a few more times before lowering his gaze and speaking."I can't tell you too much, but all you need to know is that we have a common enemy.""Common enemy my ass." Roxanne snapped. "I can't even understand one thing you're saying. The truth behind my parents death? What other truth is there?""I can't tell you now, but soon...""Soon?" Roxanne cut him off. She the. Suddenly stepped back, a smile full of disbelief on her face. "What makes you thi
After showering and changing her dress, Roxanne rushed towards the one place where she knew she could confirm if Lance's words were a lie or not.Her parent's house.It was a medium size love cottage located closely near the forest and on the quieted side of Los Angeles. Her mother always seemed to enjoy the company of the animals, the trees and all of nature alike.When Roxanne had been younger, she has grumbled about her mother's choice of residence since it was so far away from her school and she had to seat in the back of her designated car for hours. At some point, she had threatened to move away as a young kid, her parents simply laughed at her words, but never the less, they met her demands and sent her to leave with her grandparents until the weekends. That place had gradually become her home out of home where she made so many memories and bonds.But now that she was standing in the threshold of her parent's house, all the Happy memories she shaded with her parents came floodi
Roxanne was surprised to see that it was Penelope who has entered from behind her. She viewed the red haired beauty for a few seconds- curiosity and cautiousness evident in her eyes- before standing up and approaching her with her hand out."You must be Ms. Grant. Pleasure meeting you, my name's Penelope Cube." She introduced herself decently while accepting Roxanne's hand shake.The blonde was somewhat caught off guard with her rather good attitude and deep down, a tinge of guilt surface."The pleasures all mine, please, take a seat." She shook away the feeling deep down and gestured towards the free seats."Thank you, and oh," Penelope was about to take her seat when it seemed like she suddenly remembered something. "Would it be okay if a friend of mine joined us." She said and pointed at the door.Before Roxanne could voice her opinion, the door swung open and a cheeky looking Noirette walked in."Well, I don't mind." She muttered underneath her breath as she sank into her chair.P
For the first few seconds after Roxanne had surfaces from the water, it felt like air had been forcefully put into her lungs.She choked: coughed brutally as she tried to adapt and get as much water as she could out of her lungs.Her eyes stung from the sudden sea water and her body shivered brutally from the cold fabric and remnant of water that clung to her body.It took her a few seconds to realize that she was being cradled in the arms of Lance and slowly, his shouts and people whispers came back to her ears."... Are you all deaf? I said get me blankets!" Lance barked at the onlookers who were whispering underneath their breaths.Why wouldn't they.Suddenly, before Roxanne could really register what was unfolding and how things were unfolding, there was another splash from the sea and minutes later, Christopher came up with Penelope cradled weakly in his arms."Spread out!" He ordered of the people who were suddenly gathering him as he climbed aboard."What? Why is the second you
