Chapter: Chapter 13Michael "You came to a lake cabin in summer. You are not getting out dry!" Her perfect full lips challenged me and my mind went wild with the combination of the name Alexandra and the opposite of the word "dry". My thoughts are often far too dirty and far too intenser than I want to admit. Such thinking is part of the reason I am in this mess now. I was watching how her wet skin is shining in the moonlight as her hot body is creating sm

Chapter: Chapter 12Alexandra Not even 24 hours had passed before I was drunk again. Did I manage to get over my hangover before Clarissa and Ethan gave me that first glass of wine? I should do something about myself or I will turn into some drunken skank. It's just that they both looked so happy together, like they were waiting to get in each other's hands all those years and finally they became one. And where was I in my life? Nowhere...alone. I was such a nerd, how did I became this...this party girl! I am well-educated, and I am working at a grocery store. That is crazy! I must get my shit together and change my life. I had enough time to get past that bad

Chapter: Chapter 11Michael It was a slow day at my shop. No one entered for the last hour and in a way it was better like that. I was lost in my thoughts of the hottest girl I ever met. Weekends are not busy, but this one will sure as hell be very boring. Part of it because weather is too hot and heavy for anyone to be outside and other part - Alex is away from me. Last night felt both great that she was so close and bad that I could not even touch her. I

Chapter: Chapter 10Alexandra I went directly in Clarissa's room, without trying to be quiet. I am sure she is still sleeping. Good, let her feel my rage. Why does she always have to interfere? I went inside and of course she was sleeping. One of her hands was lifted above her head on the pillow, while she was on her back. She had her cute tiny sleeping dress as I could easily see, because her sheets were covering only her tummy.&

Chapter: Chapter 9 Alexandra I raised my eyebrows in response, but did not say anything. I never seen the second floor of the store, but he is living there. Must be so cool to never be able to get late for work...since you are there all the time. I wonder what it's like upstairs. He helped me sit on the front seat next to the driver and I relaxed, feeling how comfortable it is. I could easily drift into sleep here. That is if he wasn't so close to me behind the whe

Chapter: Chapter 8Alexandra It's such a great feeling...the fresh air, playing with my hair, some grasshoppers making calming sounds in the night and I am just relaxing on the bench with a fruit drink. It can almost make me forget about what I truly want...almost. The music from the bar, that I can barely

Chapter: 25. A big step with me“Mason, please don’t!” Bethany pleaded and her lawyer had to convince her to stay calm and silent.“With whom were you talking on the phone, Mr. Scott?” Our guy asked the witness.“Stephan. Bethany’s ex. They broke up because she was having some… mental problems. He convinced her to start going to a specialist.”The room filled with gasps and rustling by the surprising news. But what would make her brother say something that would make her look bad in court?“What mental problems did Miss Scott have?” The mustache man pressed, but answers were coming swiftly, impatiently waiting to roll out of Mason’s mouth.“She was… She is feeling insecure and is constantly seeking the attention of an important man. Like a popular man in town or an attractive man who is wanted by many, and she has the need to prove something to herself by winning the

Chapter: 24. The bonfireThis small town was growing on me. The winding streets, the sweet two-floor houses, hiding in lush trees, and the cute shops were part of its charm. The idea of Michael living here, peacefully, surrounded by true friends was warming my heart. He had to win his case, he was not guilty - just different. Then maybe I would consider again the course of my future, including this tiny city and its amazing bonfire tradition.We arrived in the town gathering and it was already dark outside. Hundreds of people were paired in groups, talking and drinking while standing near the fire on wooden benches, brought for the event. Tall wood was wrapped tightly in the clearing far from the last houses. It burned with an intense flame while illuminating with power - it was hard to look at it. The wood had changed its color to golden-orange scorching lava.On its right was a freshly moaned loan, where a cowboy was enriching the air with a cheerful country song. Young girls with lo

Chapter: 23. Answer the questionA chubby man wearing a long black robe, who looked to be around fifty years of age, came to take the important seat behind the large desk. My palms were sweating and my legs began to shake, reflexively I pressed them together. I took a deep breath. In and out. Then did it again. I was so nervous, I couldn't concentrate on what was going on in front of me.The lawyers were conversing with the judge, then each of them had their turn to speak in front of the people gathered. The defense counsel went first, arguing that Michael had taken advantage of Bethany on the night of the party. Stylishly dressed in black, a woman in her mid-thirties with a golden ponytail was speaking on behalf of the so-called victim.I was repulsed by the skank. She was stan

Chapter: 22. Show meI talked on the phone with my mother before I went to sleep. It was late, but she called me to tell me that she found a job that was paying better. The thing was that she only had night shifts and today was her first day."I will be available for our chats like before, but you can always call me even in the middle of the night," her voice said through my phone."I am considering another job too," I announced, knowing how thrilled she would be that I had finally woken up from my slumber."That's amazing, dear! What will it be? Something with your education?" she asked with excitement."That's the plan. I applied to some places. Time will tell," I answered and my eyes stopped on the breathtaking body of the man I loved when Michael walked into the room with a towel around his pelvis. "I have to go, mom, it's late." I swallowed, removing the phone from my ear, hypnotized by his slightly pink skin, after the shower.My mot

Chapter: 21. The answer to my questionsI watched in slow-motion as the disgraceful young woman made a few unstable steps towards us, her hateful eyes never leaving Michael, and then she raised her hand in an attempt to slap him. With ease, he dodged her sloppy move by coming closer to me, gently pushing me, so I could take a step aside. The drunken blonde, who I assumed might have been a friend of the liar who wanted to sue Michael, or Bethany herself, stumbled and almost fell to the ground but the bearded man grabbed her by her arms, keeping her steady."Michael," he said in a way of greeting while helping the girl stand on her feet."Mason," my guy nodded in response."I think it's better if you and your sister go now," the cheerful man said to Mason and the skank hanging on his arms, who was still cursing and trying to keep her balance. "Hi, man.""Hi, Oliver." Michael returned to the cowboy."Oh, what is that official behavior?" The cheery man asked, coming closer to us. "Give your

Chapter: 20. Look who's hereMy soul was hurting, seeing the torture Michael was in. This wasn't something that criminals felt, right? He was suffering from what people thought of him. He had a conscience. If Michael was a bad person or liked to hurt others, he would not regret his actions, right? Plus - he said that she must have liked whatever he was doing."I am not someone who will force himself on a woman, " he continued, his hand holding the wheel so hard - the knuckles of his fingers turned white. "She lied to everyone. It's who she is. She had her fun with me and the next day, I go out and folks were staring at me. Whispering... you know?" He turned his glassy eyes to give me a lo

Chapter: 53. Jealousy callsSurprising myself, I picked up Thomas’s phone and hung up on my best friend. An ugly feeling I never had, took over my mind. Was there an option that she likes him, or he likes her? No, this was silly, and I was a moron. She is into girls. She never liked a single guy that I showed her as attractive.

Here for meI gave a small smile and nodded as a welcome, and Thomas and Steven gave each other a quick greeting before my step-brother turned his attention back to me.“Help you with what?” he narrowed his eyebrows at me with unhidden curiosity.We never had a real talk. He had no idea what I liked or what was happening in my life. We were just like distant neighbors, forced to sometimes dine together with father and Tina.“There is one girl. Olivia. You surely know her - a curly brown hair, glasses… geek-is

Chapter: 51. Don't embarrass meNo matter that I accepted Linda’s invitation to sleep over her place, instead being alone in my room, I barely slept. My mind was plotting ways to release myself from Olivia’s trap and prevent her for showing my provocative photos and whatever else she got from my mobile.Exhausted, I got up really early and drove to my house in the morning. After refreshing in the warm shower, I put on some of my old clothes and a black jacket. My reflection was staring at me with a sad look and baggy eyes, but I ignored it and went to school.Last night I had nightmares, tonight I had no sleep. I was feeling miserable, but someho
