I open my eyes slowly and feel my body on another. Part of my body is lying on top his body and his hands are on my back, locking me firmly to his body. How did we get here?The events of last night come flushing into my brain and I feel my cheek reddening. My eyes settle on his shirtless upper body and I shamelessly check it out. I carry my face from his chest slowly and carefully, not to wake him up I roll over and lie on my side.I admire his sinful beauty, if I can just touch it once more. That's right I can touch it, after all he's sleeping. I flatten my palm on his chest and feel each rhythmic movement his chest makes when he breathes. I outline his body with my hands, over the six divisions on his belly to the tattoo on his chest. I remember when he got that, I came back tired from the classes I had and he came into my house grinning like he just won a lottery. He made me close my eyes, trust me I still cheated, opening my eyes slightly to try to take peaks of whatever surprise
"Told ya I'll be back early" I raise my head from the magazine I am reading and look at Bryne. With big strides, he reaches where I'm sitting and leans behind me to kiss me and I flinch."Don't" I stop him and he shoots a confused look at me."What do you mean baby" his brows squeeze together"It's Bailey" I snap and go back to reading the magazine. He rakes his fingers through his hair "I don't get what's happening"I'll tell you, everything that happened earlier was a mistake. "Look" I sigh and stand up from the chair. "Don't think that you saying all those nice things yesterday will change anything okay? I have a boyfriend who I love so much and you know me well, I won't like to cheat on him with you" I cross my arms. His face drops immediately and he rubs his temple "Bailey please don't bring this up" he holds my arms "I know you're dating Cole but that doesn't change the fact that you love me. We'll work through this together." "Love you?" I scoff. Yes it may be true that I lov
BRYNE"I'm leaving" I freeze and my face drops immediately she says that. I know she's fighting back, I know she doesn't want to leave and it's hurting that she doesn't admit she still loves me.I open my mouth to stop her but I decide against it. She's so stubborn, she'd do what she wants no matter what I say. She stands up and leaves the room. I curl my fists. I want to hit something, I want to break something. I pick a vase to smash but I decide against it. I can't break more things, this is what got me here. I punch the wall, once, twice, thrice but it doesn't give me the satisfaction I need. I groan and kick the table. She literally kissed me! What else does she want me to do. I made a mistake but she keeps reminding me of it everytime. She knows how much I need her, how much we both need each other then why is she this difficult. I groan and punch the wall again. Calm down bro! Pull yourself together.Cole!I punch the wall repeatedly when I think of him. "Arse hole" I cuss
BAILEY"Where are you going?" he asks "Somewhere" I leave the room. Hopefully I'll remember the room he took me to last night.I stand in the hallway trying to figure out the room. Maybe this one. I open the door of a room opposite Bryne's room. I made the right choice. I walk to the board and unclip a note “I can't sleep again this night, I wish you were here, you'd kiss away the insomnia" I can't stop smiling today.I unclip another note "I'm sorry. I don't know how to tell you what I did today-" Before I can even finish reading the note, Bryne wraps his hands around my waist from behind and I lean into him."I knew you'd be here" he breathes into my neck and a moan escapes my lips."You're m-meant t-to be resting in you room" I can't even construct a correct sentence with him around me."I can't rest with you in my house" he sucks gently on my neck and I tip my head to the side, submitting to the the passion that's already taking over my body."I've told you before, we can
I roll on the bed and open my eyes slowly. I rub my eyes, trying to get used to the bright light peering from the window. "Bryne" I search the bed with my hands for him and I frown and sit up when I find the bed empty"Thank you God for a new day" I mumble my prayer and drag my naked self out of bed. I'm not really a religious person though I was born into a religious family, but it's just a habit for me to thank God everytime I wake up. I walk into the bathroom, empty my bowels, wash my face and brush my teeth. I look around the big bathroom and the even bigger room. This is definitely not the room I've been sleeping in, this Bryne's room.And I used his toothbrush!!I search through his closet for any thing to put on and finally settle for his black sweat shirt that stops few inches below my arse. I step out of the closet and look around the big room. He cleaned up all the mess of yesterday. I step into the hallway and the smell of freshly baked food fills my nostrils. I follow
"My shirt looks good on you" he traces my bare thigh with his fingers. "Must you always tempt me every damn time" he whispers in my ear and plants a kiss on my forehead.I ruffle his hair. "Thanks for the food" "Will you admit now that I'm a better cook than you?" Admitting defeat in Bryne's face? Pftt! Nah! "No. I can cook better than you, I mean my mom's a chef and a chef's daughter can cook" I place my hand under my chin."Not true" "How will you know if I can cook when you never let me cook" "I would, but you're lazy. No you call it energy saving mode right" "Whatever" I stick my tongue out at him and he laughs."You look so cute when you do that Lee" I roll my eyes at him when he calls me Lee"Are you going to your office today?" I hope he doesn't go, I won't be able to stay in this big house alone."Nah" "Good! I won't be able to stay here alone" "Laura called" "Really? I'm sure she has been so worried about me" I feel like a bad friend right now, I didn't even try to con
"Um.. I'm so sorry for interrupting" a female voice sounds behind me and I turn around to see a petite woman, probably in her mid forties standing at the door way."It's Wednesday already? Just drop the groceries on my counter. Thanks" Bryne says to the woman and she nods and goes to the kitchen."Drop me down" I whisper to him and he drops me down. "Who is she" I can't hide that I'm feeling slightly embarrassed because of this. "My bad, let me introduce her to you" She walks back into the living room and smiles at Bryne, revealing a partly broken front tooth. "Bryne this is Claire, my chef" "Hey" I plaster a fake smile on my face for two seconds them I look down to hide my embarrassment."Claire, this is Bailey, my girl friend" Bryne smiles at her and Claire stretches her hand for a hand shake which I politely take."Nice to meet you Bailey, you must be new, I've never seen you here" What does she mean by that? Have they been other girls here? "This my the first time here" I rep
"Bryne just be reasonable for once okay? Even if you don't like him, at least respect him for your mom or pretend in front of your mom. Don't let him come between you and your mom's relationship" "Bailey just don't talk about this please" "Bryne I-" "Bailey don't" he cuts me off "My mom caused this, why did she marry Khakar? I don't have any problem with her, I love her so much, she's my family but him, I can't do what you're asking. I can't stand two seconds with him, I don't know how my mom can't see through his pretence and I won't go to Georgia to see my mom. This topic is not the best right now"I know how hard it is for him but he should try at least if that is what will make his mom happy. I won't push him too far if he doesn't want to talk about it, maybe some other time."Come here" he opens his arms and I walk into it. "I know you and my mom are just trying to care about me but I can't accept Khakar" he rubs my back gently. "Let's go out for a walk" Sure. Anything to ligh
