2020-09-08 20:55:37There was no way I could run through the crowded room so I hurriedly pushed my way through the dance floor knowing that my dark hair would make it hard for me to be spotted out. My very normal and average outfit dissolved me into the crowd. Glancing towards the entrance, i saw a confused look on Chris's face. Great! He had lost me but I knew he'd find me sooner or later. He wouldn't snap my neck or stab me in the middle of such a large drunken crowd, would he?
Where was my beloved prince, Clyde Dune? If my life was a movie, he would have appeared out of nowhere and saved me. But, this was my day and there was no possibility of survival. At least I would die wearing my favourite colour, blue. You're probably think I'm some hysterical girl but in my defense, I'd been roughed up by some pretty bad guys before. Didn't want to get into trouble, much less with Clyde's enemy.
I made my way towards the DJ's, entering the tiny space between them and the cream coloured wall. One of them laughed and indicated under the table. He shook his head and continued working, probably wondering why I was hiding during a party.
Was I really losing my dignity just to avoid Chris? Well I was but would come out of it?
Nothing worried me more than Chris finding me. Maybe i was being foolish because of the few drinks I had. I mean, if I was sober enough I would have known that no harm could come from facing him. I waited for what seemed like hours for him to pull me out but it never happened. I finally congratulated myself on managing to defeat him. I had always been excellent at hide and seek. I never should have worried about being found.
I decided to get out of my hiding place and scan the big room. Using the biggest disk jockey as a cover, I took a swift look at the room and managed to spot him seated on a couch. He was with my friend Ruby. He seemed to be flirting with her by the looks of it. I wondered if they knew each other. He wore a smirk on his face and as I watched, she threw her head back, laughing at something he said. He was charming, yet so evil. To be honest, I found that quite attractive.
My best friend didn't know who she was with. He was a bad person capable of manipulating anyone into believing anything. What if he decided to take her hostage just to make me show myself? That sounded extremely ridiculous but had some truth to it. He was probably just using her, fully aware that I was in the room. What a Jerk!
Or maybe he was trying to find out where I was by asking her. He couldn't have seen me or I wouldn't still be breathing. I shook my head at my ridiculous thoughts. Something was definitely wrong with my brain. I had to get away from this party.
I resolved not to leave my spot until I was aware the coast was clear. I sat in the little space squeezed against the wall. The DJ's had already forgotten about me and I was grateful. Why would they care about some possibly drunk girl doing something stupid?m When I finally got tired of hiding I stood up to go.
I searched the room but I didn't see that attractive face anywhere. There was only one reasonable explanation for his absence. He must have disappeared into one of the upstairs rooms with Ruby. Good for me.
It's now or never!
"There you are," my cousin, Gem recognized me. I sighed and stopped walking. "Didn't expect to see you here. How have you been?"
"I've been alright," I replied, giving her a short hug then pulled away. "You?"
"I'm alright," she said with a smile. "Glad I found you."
"What do you want now?" I inquired glancing at her dancing partner whose face showed the expected strain that came with handling Gem when she was drunk. Bad luck seemed to be following me everywhere.
"Come, dance with me little cousin," she slurred holding my hand. I shook my head. "Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?"
"I just need to go, Gems," I pleaded. My heart thumped as I imagined Chris finding me. "Help me" I begged the sandy haired boy standing beside Gem. He shook his head and walked towards the kitchen. I gasped. How annoying!
"Hey you, get back here," I yelled after him but he obviously didn't hear anything. My voice sounded like a whisper compared to the loud sound of music.
"Shannon," Gem slurred, looking around. "Where's Josh?"
"He's in the kitchen," I told her while pulling my hand away from her grasp.
"Take me to him," she begged, pouting. "I love you, cuz."
I grabbed her wrist and roughly pulled her through the mass of bodies but she was laughing the whole time. I had very little time left. Chris and Ruby would be done with their 'quickie' in no time. When I reached the kitchen, I left her in Josh's hands and slipped through the back door.
I had walked a short distance when I heard footsteps behind me. Were they real or was it my wild imagination playing tricks with me?
It could be anybody, I consoled myself. When I changed direction, whoever it was also changed. It really freaked me out and I developed the urge to turn around and scream. They kept getting closer and even my fast walking couldn't deter whoever it was coming after me.
I gathered enough courage but just as I was about to turn, a strong hand landed on my mouth and I was pressed against a warm body.
"Hey Shannon." I knew that voice. So beautiful yet it sent a chill down my spine.

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
