When A Bully Falls In Love 37
~Matt~Quietly, I took the laptop from her lap while she slept comfortably. While sitting on the floor, I watched her for a long time. Pushing a long curly hair behind her ear, it tickled her, and the edge of her lip curled up as she slept.“I wish I could tell you who my inspiration is,” I whispered and pecked a delicate kiss on her head.Reaching down, I held her hand in mine for a moment, caressing her cheek with the other. A smile played on my face when I thought about how she followed me like a baby and wanted me to listen to her. She is an innocent girl with a pure heart.“I am scared to lose you if I tell you what I feel for you,” I murmured as I put her hand under the blanket.~Aoife~My phone buzzed from my phone alarm, and I cursed that sound. “Shut up.” I covered my ears.I never liked winter days if I had to get up in the morning. I pulled my warm blanket over me with the thought of taking a quick nap. We all like that small nap after our alarm buzzes; the sleep between t

~AOIFE~As decided prior, Matt and I headed toward the address on the email. It was an old building at the heart of downtown. There was no place for parking, so we had to park a few blocks away from the building. As expected, Matt had an attitude about forcing him to go there. “I am telling you, it’s not gonna work.” “Let’s just check one time.” I dragged him with me.We went upstairs and reached the fourth floor.Future Life Magazine was the name on the door. I didn’t expect this would be the place and looked at each other with confusion. Matt’s peer told me he was about to scold me for wasting his time.“Future Life? That is not the future I want, Aoife,” he snorted.I was desperate enough to prove him wrong. The magazine was one of the more reputable magazines, and the sight in front of me didn’t justify the reputation.The office was filled with papers and files on one side. Old chairs and broken windows make it look like the oldest place in this century, filled with old magazine

~Aoife~Matt got his new writer’s job at the magazine where he would write blogs on different topics. It’s been a while, but he’s happy to get it. This month’s topic was quite interesting: Relationship Between Couples. I am sure he will give his best. I remember the day he came to me after the interview. He literally crushed me in his arms with love and appreciation for forcing him to try for the job and pursue his writing dreams. He was all set to take the world.Matt was avoiding Neeral, and I wanted to set him up with this beautiful girl. As a friend, it’s my duty to find the best girl for him.

So, I took charge of bringing them together.We all are going out for dinner to celebrate Matt’s new achievement.Xander being Xander lost in his own world of bullying people, except me. I didn’t know why

~Aoife~I prepared myself for the party wearing a mustard colored laced, bell sleeved, short dress. My heart was aching. I needed to learn how to handle these situations, considering it was not the first time the same man had shattered my heart. But somehow, when the trouble comes, either we go through it or grow through it. I choose to grow through it and put up a genuine smile for the people I love. I wore my brown ankle boots and straightened my hair, complimenting my face with yellow loops.With eyeliner and volume mascara, I added some brown, smokey eyeshadow. I needed to cover up with makeup, otherwise Matt would notice my swollen eyes. When I saw the taxi waiting outside, I grabbed my clutch, reading myself for the night ahead. When I got out of the taxi, I stood outside of the restaurant waiting for Matt and Neeral.Suddenly, someone wrapped their arm around my waist, and I found Xander standing beside me.He looked handsome in his tight white t-shirt covered with a denim jack

~Aoife~I found myself on a soft bed with a dizzy head and blurry vision. Everything that happened to me was so sudden I couldn’t connect the dots of being captured by someone. I looked around, seeing long white curtains flowing with the soothing breeze from the floor-to-ceiling windows filling the space with natural light.It was a scenic view of nature, but where the hell am I? Am I in heaven where angels are waiting for me to walk with them? Am I dead? Because the view in front of my eyes looks like heaven. But heaven doesn’t have curtains. Does it?I got up immediately and tried to assess where I was. The room was enormous, and everything was white. I was definitely in heaven with the fluffy white carpet, couch, curtain, walls, and white bed, so I pinched myself. Then I heard a song played by my favorite singer.What the heck? How is his voice echoing through this place?I checked myself in the mirror, finding myself dressed in silk sleepwear with an open robe. Cool, at least I die

~Aoife~Does he think I’m his property? Why did he bring me here and not even regret his actions? I was talking to myself when I came out of the house, checking that his dog did not follow me.“Well, let’s walk, Aoife. We will reach home once we find the route.” I took out my phone, opened G****e Maps, and entered the address, trying to figure out how much I had to walk.“What the heck?”There is no way I can walk that far?I refreshed it and looked for a road or something to get me out of here.“Where the hell am I? Why is it not showing a normal way to leave?” I screamed.Stupid phone. I will figure it out by myself. After walking for the next forty-five minutes, I reached a cliff. I could see seagulls and the sounds of waves. When I looked around, I saw an open ocean spreading its arm towards me.“The sea?” I whispered.I rechecked my phone's exact location. “What? Am I on some kind of island?”The first thing that popped into my head was, how will I go back?I wanted to scream a

~Xander~The sun went down, passing its goodbyes and spreading the vermillion brightness in the sky.“Thank you for bringing me here.” She presented me with a killer smile and sparkling eyes. I snaked her hand into mine, smiling at her. I was out of words and wanted to just celebrate her presence quietly. Her eyes filled with emotions and happiness watching seagulls and the sea waves.“I love your eyes.” Cupping her face, I scanned them one more time. She blushed, and her smile changed into a chuckle when I gave her an unexpected twirl before we headed back to the house.“I have a surprise for you.” “What? You surprised me already by meeting Ace and family.”She shrugged, and that surprised me. I have never seen a girl whose happiness comes from little things like this.“A beautiful dinner with this handsome man.” I winked.“Uh... huh, handsome man? I didn’t see anyone here.” She hooded her eyes to tease me, looking around as if to find someone.“Seriously?” I laughed before I ran

~Xander~As we entered the home, I cupped my hands over Aoife’s eyes for another surprise. When she opened them and saw I filled the house with candles, she gasped with surprise.I hugged her from the back and rested my chin on her shoulder.“How many more surprises?” She tilted her head toward me. I softly bit her shoulder, holding her hand in mine.She hissed out a moan as her body started reacting to me again. It’s not the words talking anymore. It was the touch that ignited the heat in her chest. The goosebumps and the heavy breathing took over her.“Relax, I won’t do anything you don’t want me to do.” I released her and backed myself away.I wanted her so badly. We had confessed our love and hoped it was time to take the next step. My body craved her, but I was not sure about her. She was unlike other girls who wanted to crawl under me for a night. For her, it’s all emotions and love, and I was ready to give it all.The moment was silent as the flickering of candles showed our si
