Chapter 51: Eavesdropping Faith’s P.O.V “How much longer do you need to stay in the hospital for?” I asked Brandon over the phone, from the bathroom stall at school. The setting kinda reminded me of the first time I met Brandon…when he was err…let’s not bring back foul memories, shall we? “Maybe in two days, if all tests come back fine tomorrow.” His voice sounded tired. He had to go through a lot of health checkups and tests today, and even though his leg and ribs haven’t healed fully, if his x-rays and scans were clear, then he’d be allowed to go back to his apartment soon. “Are you going back to your apartment, alone?” I asked a little hesitantly. “Won’t you go stay with your dad?” I knew that his relationship with his dad was shaky at best, so I didn’t want to bring up a topic he wasn’t really comfortable with, especially when he was still unwell. But at the same time, I was still worried about hi
Chapter 52: Home Sweet HomeFaith’s P.O.VTwo days later, Bass drove Brandon back to his apartment while I sat next to him in the car; all the windows tinted black so that no one would know who was inside, even though it was six in the evening.Brandon was able to walk without the help of crutches, but the plaster stayed on and he did need support to walk from time to time, but for the most part, he had recovered a lot.The skin that had been singed off his arm was now a light pink, sometimes red, and as per the doctors, it’ll take a couple weeks before it returns to its original color, but they had promised it wouldn’t scar as long as he followed their instructions to the T.As a model, I could only hope that he wasn’t left with any scars that could cause problems for his career. From what I’ve heard via Debby, his father had ordered his scheduled to be cleared for the next four month
Chapter 53: An Almost DisasterFaith’s P.O.VAs soon as I had all the ingredients in front of me…I was beginning to regret my decision of trying to act the perfect girlfriend who makes her boyfriend perfect home cooked meals when he’s sick.Maybe I was forgetting the point that I didn’t know how to cook in the first place?Watching someone else do it was far easier than having everything on the table in front of you and not knowing what to do from here on out.From what I had initially thought of making, I had wanted to go with egg fried rice, since it was a quick meal and only needed a few ingredients: eggs, day old rice from the fridge and a few frozen veggies thrown in the mix.Of course, it was in no way authentic, but it would suffice as a quick meal.However…I had forgotten the fact that Brandon had been in the hospital for several days, weeks even, and there was
Chapter 54: Sleep-OverFaith’s P.O.VBrandon’s lips came down on me a second later, frying my brain and overwhelming all my senses.I made a sound at the back of my throat that I didn’t even recognize and Brandon’s hands cupped my cheeks, deepening the kiss. His tongue ran over my bottom lip, before he sucked it into his mouth and let go with a hot, wet sound that made a shiver run down my spine.He made his way down my neck and I took the opportunity to gasp in some much needed air that my lungs were deprived of.“Brandon…” I gasped, my hands going to his hair to tangle with the cool, damp strands. “Stop.”I had to say it, even though I didn’t want to. But Brandon complied immediately, his lips stopping on the side of my neck as he pulled back to look at my face. His own breathing was more than a little ragged as he placed his hands on my waist, h
Chapter 55: First TimeFaith’s P.O.VBrandon’s eyes were wide as he heard my confession. “Faith…are you sure about this?”I nodded my head almost enthusiastically. “I am.” I reassured him. “I don’t care if you think this isn’t how you want my first time to be, this is how I want it! I don’t care about anything else but you. I just…I just don’t want you to get hurt.”The red marks on his hand scared me. They ran the entire length of his arm, his shoulders and even his back. What if I accidentally end up hurting him? Would his scars get worse if we…Oh, god! Why hadn't I thought of this before I told him that I wanted to have sex with him?“Brandon…I…” I lifted off the bed, ready to tell him that I changed my mind. But my words were silenced in my throat when he leaned down and captured my lips in his, making any protests I had, die down in my throat.I made a strange noise at the back of my neck when my back hit the bed once again, and Bandon climbed on top of me, using his hands on ei
Chapter 56: The Replacement RingFaith’s P.O.VThe feeling of someone’s fingers tracing my skin was the first thing that woke me up…the second being the soft kiss they planted to the base of my neck, sending a shiver down my spine.“Morning.” Brandon’s voice was husky, rough…and it brushed against my senses in all the right ways.Groggily, I opened my eyes to his room, the curtains all closed up to prevent even a single ray of light from entering his room. “Is it morning already?” I asked him sleepily, my voice all but a hoarse whisper.The room was still dark, even though there was some light that perforated the curtains, allowing me to see the contents of the room. The vanity was on the other side of the room and the wardrobe right next to it. I think the color scheme was blue, but with the lights down so low, I couldn’t really tell if it was actually a dark green or blue.“Ummhmmm…” Brandon made a rumbling sound in his chest, that I felt throughout my body since his chest was press
Chapter 57: Friendly Banters Faith’s P.O.V“That’s not your purity ring.” Was the first thing Nik told me as soon as I set my bum on the seat beside her.“W-what do you mean?” I swallowed nervously, trying to hide my hand, but Debby, the ever-scheming woman that she was, caught my hand and brought it to her eyes for closer inspection.“Damn! You have good eyes, babe!” She complimented Nik. “It you hadn't mentioned, I wouldn’t even have noticed it! The details are very similar!”“Indeed,” Nik continued like I wasn’t even there as the both bent over the table, placing my hand in the middle as the scrutinized the ring, while I drowned in my own perspiration. “The cross is replaced by a ribbon. Does it symbolize that you’re Bandon’s personal present?”“One that he unwraps with a lot of pleasure
Chapter 58: ‘The Talk’Faith’s P.O.VSoaking in the bathtub after almost 24 hours of not showering felt like absolute heaven.The warm water seeped through my skin, making a sigh escape my lips as I stretched out in the bathtub, letting the warmth relax my sore muscles and wash away all the exhaustion.Today had been a really busy day, both for me and Brandon, so it was natural that we hardly got any time to spend with each other.Since it was his first day back at school after more than a month, he had to spend the whole day copying his notes and going around the staff room to get the teachers to help him with all the study materials that had been handed out during his absence. At least that’s what Sagar explained to us during lunch hours.Since Brandon’s dad was one of the University’s trustees…I highly doubted that he had to work that hard. But since his leg wasn’t completely healed, so I guess it was one of the reasons why he didn’t show up at lunch and rather had Cole and Sagar
