Lynn’s POVWe were all eating at the table. While Jen and Kari were chatting happily, I was fidgeting nervously with my hands as I tried to gather the courage to tell them what was on my mind. I knew that this was not going to be an easy conversation. After a lot of internal conflict, I took a deep breath and blurted out. “I’m getting back together with Alec.”They looked at me in shock.“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Jen asked. “I mean, considering everything he did to you. You were pretty hurt and I don’t want to see you get hurt like that again.”I nodded. “It’s not going to be easy, and I don’t think everything will always be perfect, but Alec and I are willing to work through our problems, and start over.”Kari chipped in. “What about all the times he hurt you? Don’t you think you deserve better?”I sighed. “You guys don’t know the whole story.”“What’s the whole story?” Jane inquired. “Tell us so we can understand why you would choose to do something like this.”I told the
Lynn’s POVAs I walked through the door of the cozy restaurant, I spotted Alec immediately siting at the bar. He had wanted to pick me up but I had insisted on getting there by myself so I had taken a taxi. Alec’s face lit up when he saw me and he stood up, a broad smile spreading across his handsome face. He was looking so damn good. He walked over to give me a hug. “You look amazing,” he said.I smiled. “You too.”We made small talk as we waited for our table. When it was ready, a waitress came and led us there. After getting our orders, she went to the back. The restaurant was filled with the sound of clinking glasses and a low hum of conversation. Our table was by the fireplace which provided a warm glow to the room. “I love this place,” I said, taking a sip of red wine. “We should come here more often.”Alec nodded in agreement, taking a bite of his steak. “The food is perfect and the ambience is very relaxing. I’m hooked and we will definitely return to this place.”I picked u
My last class of the day finally came to an end. As the professor moved out, I threw my clipboard and pen into my backpack and fished out my phone which still had earphones plugged into it. Saying goodbye to my neighbor, I hurried out of the hall. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone so I stuck my earphones in my ears to shut out the world. A knot tied itself in my stomach when I remembered I was going to meet my new roommate. Meeting new people always gave me great anxiety.A while later, I was outside my apartment building. I could hear Eminem's rap coming from inside. I frowned. That was surprising. Although most of the residents of the apartment building were students, no one ever played extremely loud music during weekdays at 5pm. Who wanted noise after a long stressful day? Apparently, someone did.I met Chris, a boy who claimed to be in love with me as I ascended the stairs.“Hey, Lynn.” He said, smiling. He was good looking and really nice, the type of boy every girl needs i
“I need to get dressed,” I said, picking up the dirty clothes I'd left on the floor and dumping them into the laundry basket.“Go ahead,” he told me, a smile plastered on his face as he watched every move of mine. “No one is stopping you.” He was still looking at my body which made me uncomfortable because it was wrapped in a short towel that showed my legs. He did not seem even a bit uncomfortable but seemed to be enjoying the moment. “I know you want to talk to me so bad but can you please go out for a sec?” I teased, expecting that to annoy him. Unfortunately, he just chuckled and got up. Instead of heading to the door, he moved towards me.“What do you want?” I inquired when he came to close for my liking and touched my thigh. I felt a familiar ache inside me and was angry that I was feeling that way for a stranger. My closet was right behind me and he stood in front of me so I was trapped. When his body touched mine, I felt tingles allover and this made me push him away from m
I woke up at 9 am the next morning which was very late since I had a class at 10. As soon as I opened my eyes, I jumped out of bed and dashed for the bathroom. There was no time to stay in bed till I felt strong like I'd always done.Within thirty minutes, I was done with preparing myself for the day. Breakfast was out of the question, I would just take a cup of cold milk and that would take me till I got done with the lecture I was heading for.After checking whether I had everything I needed in my backpack, I picked up my key and exited the room only to find Alec lying lazily on the couch.“Morning,” I greeted as I went my way to the kitchen. He looked up, seeming surprised.“Hey lazy ass,” Was his reply. I said nothing as I opened the fridge and took out a carton of milk then poured it into a glass. I went ahead to get some cookies from a glass jar.On finishing, I left the kitchen, planning to clean it later. When I was almost at the main door, Alec stood up and ambled towards me.
Alec's POV“I've got to hurry,” Leah said when we stepped out of the bathroom. She kissed me on the lips and smiled. “Martin will be back in less than thirty minutes”Leah was a girlfriend to a friend of mine. They'd been dating for about a month but she couldn't resist me. Of course, she'd fallen for me the moment she saw me and that didn't surprise me. It happened all the time. Martin and I were not close enough for me to care about how sleeping with his girl would hurt him. Maybe it would teach him a lesson, to date good girls not whores who are willing to let anyone touch them.Being a pleasure seeker, I hated relationships. They never worked out for me because the idea of being stuck with one girl seemed really boring. I wanted to have fun and live life to the fullest. I was once in a relationship but it failed miserably, I couldn't keep my hands off other girls so the best option for my horny self was to remain single. That way I would not hurt any of the girls I would be with.
Alec kissed my best friend and she had no problem with it. I got extremely furious when I saw them that I just hurried to my room and locked the door behind me.I'd told Jen everything about Alec and she'd agreed that he was a total useless idiot yet she kissed him? I hated Alec and I'm not saying my best friend should do the same but she should have been a little civil. I wasn't very realistic but there were two sides for her to take either Alec's or mine. She'd chosen Alec, kissed him and enjoyed it. I wouldn't be surprised if I opened the door and found them having sex.For all I knew, Jen had never been like that. She'd never kissed a boy on the first day of meeting him and if a boy tried anything she'd slap him but when it came to Alec, she'd kissed him back, happily. Was it a dig at me?My best friend betrayed me. She'd said she hated him already but it didn't look like it when she was kissing him. Interesting.It looked like I was jealous but I wasn't. I couldn't be jealous ove
I felt the headache before opening my eyes. My mouth felt so dry like I hadn't drunk anything in months. Then I felt someone's arm around me which caused my eyes to snap open. Had I slept with a guy? I tried to remember the previous day’s events. Who could it be? Ross? I remembered going to a club with Ross. Was I with him or the boy I'd danced with whose name I couldn't remember?I looked around and saw a very familiar room, I was in Alec's room. I quickly sat up in the speed of lightning, letting his lean, muscled arm fall to the side. When I stood up, I became dizzy due to the fast movement I'd made while getting out of the bed. I sat down on the nearest chair in order to stabilize myself.“YOU MORON WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?” I yelled furiously when my head stabilized. This was the worst of all things that could possibly have happened, me ending up on his STD ridden bed. Disgusting.“Morning babe,” Alec greeted with a smile on his face. He acted like it was the most normal thing ever
