2020-09-08 20:51:19"Get in the car now," Clyde ordered. The arrival of that Chris guy had completely changed his mood. His jaw was clenched and I could tell that their history must have been pretty awful.
I stared at him for a while and burst into laughter. Didn't he realize how ridiculous he was being?
"Who in the blue hell do you think you are, Clyde?" I narrowed my eyes. "Ordering me around like I'm your little submissive slave. I have stuff to do in my room. Leave me alone, for goodness sake."
"Shannon, you're going with me whether you are willing or not," He looked directly into my eyes. "If you continue to resist, I'll kiss you so hard right here in front of everyone. Do you want that or would you rather we do that in the privacy of my apartment?"
My lips parted. Was he seriously blackmailing me? I glanced around and saw a few people from our hometown, Fort Wayne. They knew us and I didn't want to worsen matters if one of them decided to tell my family about what seemed like a lunch date. I felt so much hatred for Clyde at that moment. He was going to pay for this, dearly.
"I never knew that you were this annoying," I sighed in disappointment and slid into the passenger seat, a frown on my face.
"Would you date me if I wasn't Keri's ex or if I had handled things in a better way?" Clyde asked as we passed one of the University gates.
Rhetorical question. I'd totally date him. He was so perfect, and had tattoos plus curls that I felt like running my hands through. For him to like me was the most amazing thing that could happen. How could I have rejected a boy like him if circumstances were different?
"No," I lied, looking straight ahead. "I don't like you that way."
"When will you ever be honest with me?" He seemed disappointed. I was. How long was I going to lie to myself?
"I'm being honest, Clyde." I said. "Besides, I despise you for what you did to my sister. What, do you think every girl you meet immediately falls for you? You're way too arrogant."
"Your problem is that you think us dating would be wrong. Maybe it would be so but we can keep it secret so that no one gets know. Let's leave the past where it belongs. No one will know that we're dating except you and I. What do you think?"
"Not gonna happen," I said and pulled out my phone to look through social media.
A thought crossed my mind. "What happened between you and Chris?"
"Nothing you should know," he said. "Just don't ever get caught up with him. He's a bad guy."
I didn't have to worry about that because I'd probably never see him again. Chris was not someone who'd even notice a plain Jane me, except in my dreams. He looked too sexy and hot to even remember that I was the girl he'd seen with Clyde at Huddle Food Court.
"What's his full name?" I asked with a stupid intention.
"Why do you want to know?" He asked rudely. "Do you want to stalk him?"
"Are you gonna tell me or not?" I grew impatient. My latest photo on Facebook had 240 likes and I broke into a smile. There were people out there who at least appreciated my looks.
Kelsey sent me a very disturbing message on kik.
Heard you got yourself a sexy boyfriend.
What? Who said so?
Beck claims you were out on something that looked like a lunch date.I need full details when you get back.
Screw Beck! Why did he have to be so nosy?
I proceeded to Twitter and went through my news feed and notifications. I retweeted some of the cool posts I saw. Theo James, my greatest celebrity crush had tweeted a new photo which I favourited as soon as I saw. Theo was incredibly sexy and only looking at his photos gave me goosebumps. I wished I'd meet him one day.
I was so engrossed in my phone that I didn't realize the car had stopped inside Northshore Apartments where Clyde and his best friends resided.
Clyde got out and waited for me. He didn't open the door for me. What a gentleman! Oh I forgot we were not freaking love birds. What did I expect from a guy I'd shown nothing but rejection?
Clyde's three best friends ; Rick, Louis, and Luke were in their little living room when we got there. Their faces lit up when they caught sight of us.
"You're back early," Luke commented after the greetings. "What happened?"
"Chris is back," Clyde stated, dropping himself onto one of the couches. He patted on the spot next to himself. "Come sit here, Shan."
"You saw him? Was he alone?" Louis inquired.
"He was with Alicia," Clyde said in disgust. "That stupid bitch."
"She's a b!tch and he's an asshole. Quite a fitting couple." Luke observed, looking at the television. A sports channel was on and he seemed to be enjoying the wrestling match between two skinny women.
"I see you brought Shannon," Rick said, standing up straight. The other guys followed suit. He picked up his phone from the table.
I looked at him, narrowing my eyes. I knew I was intruding on their personal space but he didn't have petty about it.
"You probably need some privacy," Rick nudged me playfully, a knowing grin plastered on his face.
"No, I..." I started but gave up when I realized it was pointless because they wouldn't listen to me.
"Didn't think she'd agree that fast," Luke remarked when they were already out of the room.
"I didn't agree to anything!" I yelled at them. "What are you talking about?"
"She's very easy," I heard Rick say and they broke into deafening laughter while walking through the hallway.
Clyde laughed. I shot him a death glare.

Forbidden Bliss Jenny
On Friday night I received a call from Kim inviting to their family picnic. Although I was not very close to Clyde's family, I always tagged along because of Kim's consistent invitations. We used to be like peas in a pod when Clyde and Keri were dating. In most of their family picnics, two members outside the family were supposed to be invited as a rule. To make the occasion more lively, Clyde and Kim had to invite a close friend of theirs to join. I admired that family tradition of theirs.Kim always chose me because she said I was her best friend though she wasn't my best. We were super close though not in the way I was close to friends I wasn't related to. Clyde always came with Louis or his other friends. Before my first kiss with Clyde I'd always loved the picnics because it gave me a chance to hang out with the guy I was crushing on.This time I wasn't thrilled at all. I had not been with his family since we kissed and I knew awkwardness was g

After exiting the room, I immediately dialled Chris's number."Hello," I said."Hey Shannon. Are you okay? You don't sound well."I wiped my face with my palm. "I'm not okay.""What's it, baby? What has happened?""Can we meet?""I'm going to the campus right now," I said. "Can we meet at Somi's cafe?"I got there before he did. He walked in when I was sipping my iced tea. We spent a lot of time talking about normal student issues for semester tests were starting in a week and the atmosphere was changing. Most students were becoming serious and during the night, there were few people in clubs and bars around Campus."Why are you so nice to me?" I asked Chris as I gulped the last of my iced tea. Chris couldn't even finish a cup of iced tea because he preferred coffee. It was the third I'd drank since I entered the cafe."Because you

I found myself outside Clyde's apartment two days later. I'm not entirely sure what took me there. Either it was my undying love for him or guilt. I took a deep breath and knocked.Louis opened the door and shot me a death glare, "What do you want, Shannon?""Hello to you too, Louis." I smiled. "I hope you're having a good day. I come in?""I was until you arrived," He raised an eyebrow. "Are you spying on us?"I laughed, "Come on, Louis. Why would I do something like that? Don't be ridiculous.""Chris sent you, didn't he?" He studied me, still blocking the way in. How frustrating!"Of course not. I just felt like seeing Clyde. Can I go in now.""He's your sister's ex," he said."So what? Can't I see my sister's ex if we're friends? What the hell is wrong with you? This doesn't concern you at all.""You can't kiss him. Especia
Forbidden Bliss Easy
Chris's lips met mine. My mind was telling me it was wrong and I should stop yet my body ached for more of him. I kissed him back, enjoying the sweet feeling that arose from the connection of our lips. Desire raged through my whole body as the kiss became steamy.He disconnected his lips from mine and they dropped kisses along my jawline and downwards to my neck. His right hand went under my top caressing my tummy which tightened and arched at the contact. His gentle touch and kisses left me craving more. I didn't think I'd ever get enough.I pulled away and lifted up his shirt so he could remove it. He froze for a second but smiled, and pulled it off his head. He was lean but he had well defined abs. I smiled, tracing my fingers along the lovely tattoos on his smooth but hard skin."They're awesome," I told Chris who was not listening because he was too busy trying to get my top off. It finally went over my head and landed on

"I can't believe this," Kelsey said, placing the battery on the table. It was the only thing in the phone that survived intact. She grabbed a broom and collected the remaining pieces of my phone. "Even after knowing that you have a boyfriend, Chris is still after you? How did you get so lucky, my friend?""And he's gonna get you a phone? Just like that?""Is there something you're not telling us?" Ruby asked. She bent over to unbuckle her brown flats. "We're your friends, you know."I studied the girls' faces and they seemed to share the same opinion. Anyone could tell they were highly suspicious by their smiles and that was not good for me at all. Maybe they had already talked about me behind my back.Shit!"Alright," I sighed. "The thing is they don't like each other at all. They're kind of enemies.""So you knew Chris before that party?" Nina asked unwrapping a bar of chocolate. She took a g
Forbidden Bliss Get out
Fury swept over me the moment Clyde mentioned Chris. I broke away and went to sit on my bed. This wasn't how I wanted things to go. If he wanted us to work out, he had to put his little feud aside."I can't just stop talking to him."Clyde glared at me. "What? Why not?""He seems to be a good person," I reasoned. "He'd be hurt if I just stopped talking to him. We're kind of friends now.""So you wanna please him and hurt me? Wow that's really great, Shannon. Thank you for being so considerate. I love you so much more now.""Stop being dramatic. I'm not trying to hurt you," I explained. "Just because you hate Chris doesn't mean I should hate him. I don't even know what happened between you guys. Why should I get involved?""You don't know because it's none of your business." Clyde came to sit next to me. I let him hold my hand. "All you need to know is he's not what he makes you thin
