SETH
The look on Emily's face was priceless. She looked ready to bolt, but I knew she wouldn't do that, I was still carrying some of her books."You are very very naughty." She said, partly laughing and blushing."You don't know the half of it," I told her.She smiled at my teasing. Her dark coffee eyes crinkling in the corners. Her brown curled hair touched her waist. She was wearing a bright orange baggy sweater over a matching dark brown skirt that came a little above her knees, and boots.She looked extremely classy, and hot. Always fucking hot."What class do you have right now?" I asked, trying to act casual as fuck but in reality, I was having this weird fluttering in my stomach."I have Chemistry." She answered."Why do you need to take that class?""Excuse me?" She asked.I pointed between her and me, "You don't think we have good chemistrySETH “Hey!” I said over the phone. “My Honeybun, what are you doing?” She cooed at me in her teasing voice. I was tempted to tell her I wasn’t hers but kept my mouth shut. “Shopping.” “I went to your apartment but that loser neighbor of yours told me you moved out. You never even told me about it.” I could feel her pout through the phone even though I couldn’t see her. “Yeah...uh...actually, I found a better place. I’m renting the studio apartment at the Vasquez’s.” I blurted out without thinking. Shit! “You mean sweet-potato Emily’s house? Whoa! Can you even afford that place?” She asked, giggling like the evil witch from the west. “Well, since we are taking Spanish together, she’s giving me a huge discount. She’s pretty cool.” “Since when did you start noticing that potato?” I was getting irritated by the second, “do you need something, Staysha?” “It’s been su
SETHI think my embarrass-O-meter had shot really high with the recent turn of events. I knew with certainty that Staysha was the one who leaked the video and had made it viral.The question was, why the hell would she go so far? Hadn’t I been honest with her from the start? Didn’t she know it was temporary? And it wasn’t like we’d been exclusive. She was screwing around while being with me and I had no problem as long as we were being safe.With all these other kids staring, she’d made a Hannah Fucking Baker out of me.Hi! I’m Seth...Seth Monroe. Welcome to my screwed-up life!I punched the locker so hard, a dent formed on the metal. I knew I should come up with a solution rather than destroying school property that I would probably need to pay for.What was Emily thinking about me? Definitely not anything nice. Chances were that our newfound friendship was about to go extinct.She
SETH I stared at the screen, watching Staysha getting fucked for the zillionth time.“How do you know it’s not me? She’s moaning my name!”“I can hear just fine.” Emily sounded annoyed. “Look at the hand holding her.”She paused the video and zoomed in further. A male hand splayed on Staysha’s ass came into clear view. The video was a little grainy, but one could see the hand clearly.“Do you notice a small tattoo just below the thumb and the forefinger?”I looked closely. It was a tattoo design of an Anchor.She reached out for my right hand and inspected the place there. A zing of pleasure went through my body as her fingers traced that part of my skin and I was finding it hard to concentrate on what she was saying because my body was humming with her touch.“Are you listening to what I’m saying?”“Ye
EMILY"Honey, I need a favor.” That was the first thing my Dad said when he called me after one week.There were no pleasantries exchanged, not even an ‘Emily-are-you-managing-fine-on-your-own?’ because if he allowed himself to ask that question, I might answer with an ‘I’m-not-okay.’ And that’s not an answer that my daddy would like to hear so why not just ignore it altogether. A hefty amount of money was transferred into my account every month to cover everything and keep me from complaining. It was working in his favor.“What’s up, dad?” “The Hamilton’s called.” “Okay?” “They are hosting a fundraiser, our family is part of it. Your brother was supposed to attend it, but he bailed out.” That was very Cale like. Bailing out on important events because he felt like doing it. Cale was
EMILY Seth had been one second away from kissing me when the stupid phone had started ringing.It was his mother, Ruth. She was making sure her son was taking good care of me. The timing of the phone-call had been awful but I couldn’t be mad at her. If there was anyone who cared about me more than anyone, it was her.The car basked in radio silence, and the ride was starting to get awkward by the second. I connected my phone with the speakers and played some songs from my phone.Seth wasn’t saying anything as he stared ahead, lightly drumming his fingers on the wheel. I sneaked a look at him, secretly admiring the way his powerful hands maneuvered my car around.He caught my eye movement and looked at me, grinning, “You checking me out, Emily-Mae?”“What if I am? Is that a crime? Will you arrest me, Officer Monroe?”He chuckled, “You are guilty as charged. I’d have to d
EMILY I stayed silent on the ride back home. Seth tried to ask me things but all he got was one letter answers and then I guess he just got tired.My weight was a sensitive subject that I liked to avoid, and Nova had all but hammered over my weaknesses.I wondered if Seth thought the same about me. Maybe he didn’t even look at me as a woman, just a girl that his mother worked for.I didn’t realize when he pulled the car towards the dirt road and parked it in a secluded spot. Cutting the engine, he turned to face me.“Why did you stop?” I asked.“You’ve been silent, and you’re acting strange. Did something happen at the party? You can talk to me.”I shook my head, refusing to look at him, staring ahead. Then I changed my mind. I wanted to talk to someone.“Seth, if I asked you a question, can you give me an honest answer? As a friend, I want you to speak the
EMILY“I dare you to take off your shirt.”Seth was challenging me, I could see it in his expressions and he was sure smug about it. He thought I wouldn’t do it.Consuming the alcohol had made my head feel lighter, and a daring spirit entered into my body. I felt like I could do anything, there was nothing in this world that was unattainable.I reached for the hem of my t-shirt, pulled it over my head, and tossed it onto the floor.Seth’s mouth hung open, and he didn’t take his gaze off me as he reached for the bottle and took a long swig. His emerald eyes were shining in the dim light of the sitting area, and if I wasn’t mistaken, I saw his nose flaring in what I assumed was desire but he quickly looked away.I know my breasts were practically spilling out of the cami crop top I was wearing, no bra. He didn’t have to look closely to notice my nipples sticking to the fabric. It was a
SETH I was having a hard time believing that this was actually happening.She’d asked me to kiss her and then moaned asking for more. If Emily had shown any signs that she wanted me to stop, I would have. No matter how drunk I could get, I knew my limits and when a girl said no, I would stop, no questions asked.But she’d asked for it. One thing had led to another, and before I could comprehend what we were about to do, I was on top of Emily, kissing her as if my life depended on it.Kissing wasn’t even the word I’d use for it.I’d been feasting on her. Plain and simple.I’d turned into a starved man dying to take whatever I could get.I kissed, licked, and nibbled her sensitive skin in no particular order. I knew for sure I’d probably left some mark on her unintentionally. I’d been so caught up with trying to possess her, I’d lost my composure.I
