"Where are we going, Fabian?" I huffed as I jumped over another log. I was a city girl for a reason. I loved nature and all, but I was in no mood or attire to hike.  However, after Fabian got ready and met me in the kitchen again earlier, he had announced that he was taking me to his second favourite place in the world.  Of course, I got excited at the thought. I wanted to learn more about him, so I was looking forward to it. But he didn’t tell me that we'd have to be walking for miles.  Okay I was being a bit mellow-dramatic, but it felt like I had been walking for miles.  "I told you  Skates, my second favourite place" He stated casually as he continued to follow the small trail. I s

"Paris? Is that you?" I cursed under my breath at my failed attempt to sneak past the dining room without being heard. I knew I was late for dinner. Really late. So I wanted to sneak off to my room and come down in pyjamas as if I'd been home for a while. But of course, despite my tiny frame, my heavy feet alerted everyone. Reluctantly, I shuffled my way back towards the dining room's entrance, where my parents and sister were already halfway through their meals. It looked lovely, but my already filled tummy protested against having more food. "Hey." I waved awkwardly as they all gazed at me. My sister, Cynthia, had a teasing smirk on her face, as both my parents eyed me in question. "And where have you been all evening, young lady?" my dad asked, and I almost winced at the sharpness in his tone. "I um... " I knew I couldn't lie. The oversized jacket on my shoulders was obviously not mine, and I was sure that there was a pu

I trotted carefully through the familiar path as I used my phone's flashlight to guide me through the dark.  I wasn’t sure if this was my best idea, but I knew I didn’t want to see anyone else and there couldn’t be a better place to meet him, even if it's in the dark of the night on a trail behind an old farmhouse, in the middle of what seemed like nowhere.  Relief dawned on me when I saw the outline of a muscular silhouette sitting on a rock in front of the surprisingly sparkling water. The moon danced on its crystal feature as the  crickets sang loudly.  The sound of my feet caused him to look behind him, and he smiled welcomingly at me as I joined him.  That smile alone&

Somewhere in the middle of the movie, I got uncomfortable and so I changed into my PJ's. Except, they were sleeveless and pretty short. I've had them since forever, after all, and Fabian had his fair share of jokes about them too.  So I knew that when I stretched over to reach for the charger, my top had ridden up and exposed my back. And on my back was...  "You saw it didn’t you?" I asked, looking down as I shuffled uncomfortably away from him.  It was odd that he never saw it the first time we went swimming at his school, but I remember specifically ensuring that I didn’t turn my back towards him.  It was a scar. A very ugly scar.  

It was 4:57 and I was the only one sitting in the diner. My legs shook in anticipation, as I glanced through the window ever so often for the other two boys. I knew they still had three minutes to spare, but it didn’t help my nerves one bit. After everything was cleared between Colton and I, I had spent the last two and a half hours with a new thing worrying my mind--the meeting of the two boys. 4:59. Only one minute and still no sign of them. I grabbed my phone, deciding to make a few calls but then the familiar roar of a bike had me gazing through the glass window. Fabian. He looked devilishly sexy in his full black outfit--black jeans, black T-shirt with a black leather jacket and definitely a dark bad-boy aura as he whipped the helmet from his head and did that sexy hair shake thingy. God help me. As if feeling my eyes on him, he met my gaze across the parking lot and of
