"You sure you are going to be fine today?" Theo asked as I was getting ready for the day. He was still in bed beneath the sheets, tempting me to join him.
"Yeah. I'll just ask Dr.Brew and we will see how it goes. Worst case scenario, he denies it or maybe it was Grace all along." I rushed out hurriedly as I ran a brush through my hair.
"Mmmm...I wish you didn't have to go," he whined, rolling over to have a good look at me and I smiled at him through the mirror.
Why did he have to be crazy hot and tempting?
"Not all of us own a business, Mr.Philips," I smirked as I walked towards my closet to get my coat and bag. Suddenly I felt his presence behind me and turned around to face him.
"Aren't you a sight for a sore eyes?" He nuzzled my neck, making me giggle as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders.
"I'm going to be late, Theo. Stop it." I moaned, not actually
"So it wasn't that dick head?" Theo asked feeding me a spoon of ice cream. I was back at home after a long day of work and told Theo about Dr.Brew and Grace."No, and I really have no idea now. My last guess is Andrew himself and by the way, you really shouldn't have punched Dr.Brew," I mumbled, licking my lips and stretched out my legs on his lap. We were sitting on the couch and chilling after dinner. It felt so right and I could see that most of his things were sitting in my apartment yet to be unpacked. He must have had a busy day with all the shifting."No regrets there, baby. He still wanted to get in your pants and I don't like the fact that he invited you for Thanksgiving," He shrugged lightly, massaging my feet and I let out a small moan."Oh, wow! That feels so good." I closed my eyes and s
A month later..."I don't think I can come early today, babe. I have a busy shift at the hospital." I let out a small pout, looking down at my fingers. Lately, I've been so busy with work and felt like I haven't had time for myself and us. I was already exhausted and just wanted to curl up and sleep for days."I don't care. You are coming home by 7 pm or I'm kidnapping you from the hospital." Hereplied firmly through the phone and I let out a soft sigh.I did miss him too. He has also been so busy, flying back and forth to Chicago for the opening of his new hotel, "I just got back today, Lu. Things are almost settled at Chicago and I wouldn't have to travel more often like before now." He stated with a pause, "God, I miss you so badly. Please get that cute ass of yours here," he whined like a puppy, making me laugh.How could I ever resist this guy?"Okay, I'll be t
"For the love of God! Stop screaming!" I groaned out loud with my eyes still shut. I stretched out my hand, trying to reach for my stupid phone to shut it off but it ended up falling on the ground with a loud thud."Perfect." I threw my sheets away from my body in anger and picked up my phone from the floor to see a small crack on the top left corner and the name of my best friend blinking on the screen."Lucy! It's Sunday!" I almost yelled at her as soon as I attended her call. I hate it when someone interrupts my sleep, especially on Sunday."Good morning to you too, sunshine!" She replied in a sarcastic tone and I rolled my eyes."You better have a good reason for calling me," I yawned, falling back on my bed, pushing away my chestnut brown hair from my face."School is starting tomorrow and we are officially seniors now. We need to go shopping, Ri.""You mean, you
"Fuck! I hate it, Ri. It's only been a week and we are already swamped with homework and assignments," Lucy groaned in frustration. We were in the study hall, working on our math assignment since we had a free period."What else would you prefer doing?""Anything besides this. Also, Andrew is annoying me to the core. He hasn't texted me since morning." She pouted and kept checking her phone every five minutes."Here, let me help you." I grabbed her note and started to teach her. Not to brag or anything but I was pretty good at math and probably the only thing I was good at."Damn! You are good, girl." She whistled when I solved a complex problem but I simply shrugged, trying not to make a big deal out of it."You just need to use your brain." I teased, earning a smack on my arm from her."Shut up.""You know what? You could probably do this for money," she
I jerked in my seat when I felt my phone vibrate in my jean pocket. I pulled it out to see a text from Lucy. I was currently in the middle of my English class which was really boring since I had already read all of Shakespeare's and Jane Austen's novels. Lucy and I had one or two different classes every day'I'm so bored.'--Lucy'Same here.'I hit send and tried to focus on the board in front of me. The day was dragging by and I just wanted to get out of school as soon as possible. It was Friday, for god's sake. My phone buzzed again on my desk, earning a few stares from my classmates.'Andrew invited us to a party this weekend.' --Lucy'There is no 'us'. I really don't
Sequel to 'Private Lessons' but can be read as a stand-alone also."Always and forever?" I asked, gazing into his crystal blue eyes and he held my hand, giving it a slight squeeze."Always and forever, Lu." Theo gave me one of his dashing smiles and I grinned widely, tucking my hair behind my ears shyly.Theodore Phillips was 14 years old and I was 13. Even though we went to different schools and our houses weren't nearby, we were always together. He was my best friend in the whole wide world and we knew everything about each other but little did I know about the disaster that was going to happen later that day that would break us apart."I'll be right back. My friends are at my house waiting for me." He stood up and started to dust his pants while I remained seated on the muddy grounds of our
"Wakey, wakey!" I heard my friend and my colleague, Grace Cooper's high-pitched voice, making me groan in frustration."Seriously? What time is it?" I stretched a bit, pulling my sheets closer to my body."It's 8 am and you need to get ready in an hour tomeet the Dean of our hospital. It's our first day, Lu." She exclaimed, pulling the sheets off my body to reveal the black cocktail dress that I wore last night to the club with Riley. She was my high school best friend and I loved the fact that we were both back in town after years of being apart from each other. She married her high school sweetheart and they have a six-year-old daughter together. We had so much to catch up and it was just like the old times.God, I missed her so much."Lucy Wilson! Did you party all night again?" she asked with her hands on her hips and I sat up straight on my bed, finally opening my eyes fully to look at
"Fuck, my legs are hurting. I'm done with the number of rounds we had to do today." I whined, sitting down at the hospital cafeteria and Grace copied my actions,placing our coffees on the table."For starters, you shouldn't have worn those wedges." She laughed at my whining and I stuck my tongue out at her in a playful manner."It was pretty good actually. I mean, we could get used to this and it's definitely not bad for our first day." I spoke, taking a sip of my coffee."Yeah and I think Dr.Brew has the hots for you." She winked at me suggestively and I rolled my eyes."He isn't my type but he seems nice though. I wouldn't mind if he is my mentor." I shrugged casually and pulled out my phone to check my messages and emails."Let's see what happens. Also, we are meeting this guy around 7 ish tomorrow. We would be done for the day by then, right?" she asked, busy typing a
