"What's going on inside that pretty head of yours?" "Huh?"  "You zoned out. What were you thinking about?"  "Oh, just about some random stuff," I shrug and make myself comfortable in the lounge. "Stuff but what stuff?" Viktor looks at me over his sunglasses as he lifts to a sitting position. "Just... I thought about my funeral, to be honest," I purse my lips and look up to the clear sky. "Uh, where's this coming from? If I knew any better, we are at the beach and far from death," he furrows his brows and takes off the black glasses. "Haven't you thought about your funeral? When the day comes, have you ever wondered who will come? Why will those people come? Did they remember you with good or bad? Such stuff," I shrug. "I think my funeral will be attended by only one person. Two, if we count you." "Where are

Today I made a decision. I decided to be selfish, egocentric. At least for once in my life. For once I chose to put myself before everything else. I didn't sleep all night, my thoughts gave me no rest again. I tossed and turned. I wanted to sleep, I really wanted. But I couldn't. I thought over all the possibilities very carefully. Of course, my brain made me rethink if I should keep the baby. My brain, and the exhaustion probably, made me imagine how it would be if I keep the baby. Viktor's words made me think about what it would be. Could we be a happy family? What kind of a mother would I be? What kind of a father would he be? I guess we won't be able to know. At least the part where he becomes a dad. Or I won't be the lucky one to find out. I made a decision for myself. I can't keep it. I can't give up on my dreams. I want to study in college, I want to attend crazy dorm parties, I want to make many friends. And it can't be done with a b

"You can't be serious," I throw Viktor a doubtful look. "A vampire, seriously?" "Don't you like me? I'm big, bad, dark and want to dig my teeth in your skin, how this look is not fitting me?" he smiles to show me the fake vampire fangs he stuffed in his mouth and waves the red cape he tried on. "You are such a dork sometimes," I laugh. "And? What about you? Are you going to be a sexy bunny? Or Catwoman?" he smirks as he looks at the provocatively short female costumes shown on the mannequins. "If you are a vampire it's only fair if I am a werewolf," I wiggle my brows and point to the overly hairy full-body costume of a werewolf. "First, why a werewolf? And second, if you haven't shown me that costume I would have imagined you with dog ears and bent over the couch in doggy style. I don't find a full-body hairy costume sexy," he frowns. "Who said I want to be s

                     *Viktor's POV* "I hope you didn't say a thing!" my lawyer, Jacob Moore enters the room with a shout and a loud kick of the door. Nothing new for Jacob. "I haven't," I roll my eyes and lean back pissed off in the overly uncomfortable chair. Jacob Moore or also known as 'the monster' is every other lawyer, policeman and prosecutor's nightmare. Coming from a big and old family of lawyers and with the flawless record he has, he can make the Devil look like an innocent angel. And as he should, because he charges as good as he is in his job. And yes, he is one of my influential friends I mentioned a few times already. "Jacob Moore," he glares at the Inspector sitting in front of me. "You have no right to ask him anything without me being present!" "I know who you are," the Inspector si

"What do you mean your only option is Berkeley?! And why only that university?! There are a few more that are closer to Long Beach," Viktor angrily furrows his brows after I answer his question as to which university I want to attend after graduation. "Berkeley is nice, the university has a really high graduation rate and has the speciality I want to study. Plus, my mom studied there," I sigh.  Berkeley wasn't my first option, I will admit that. At first, I was going for UCLA, it was really close to home and is considered as one of the good universities but after the tragic accident leading to my mother turning into 'momzilla' I chose Berkeley with the sole idea of being as far away from her as possible. But now she is gone too, I have another reason to want to study there. She studied there and from what I have heard, she was the cheerleading team co-captain. Being there will feel like getting closer to her. I am even willing to try as
