Sleep On It

OAKLYNN’S POV“O.M-freakin’-G!!!Pamela threw her arms around me as we sat in the limo on our way home; without drawing breath, she screamed joyously, ecstatically, and so piercingly that it set my ears tingling.“You were with Kylo King!! Kylo the freakin’ King!!” She shrieked. “I can’t believe it! Somebody pinch me! I can’t believe it!” Mel threw herself back on the leather seat and covered her face with her hands.I nonchalantly shrugged, pretending not to care when she mentioned his name. “Oh, him...yeah, I was.”Mel gave me a smack on my shoulder and we collapsed back as we burst into a fit of convulsive giggles.My friend gave me a side glance and smiled.“No need to be so modest now.”“It’s all so surreal...” I said as I glided my fingertips over my forehead. “I still can’t bel

Call Me

OAKLYNN’S POV“Lynnn!” Mel shrieked as she burst through the door and dived on my bed. “Wake up!!”“Go away...” I croaked and buried my head under a continental pillow.But that only made her more persistent. “You need to see this! You’re trending on social media!”That got my attention.“What?! Lemme see??!” I brushed wisps of my dyed hair from my face before she placed her iPad in my shaking hands.“Well they don’t know who you are and the picture wasn’t very clear-plus the blonde hair-”“Why did I listen to you that blondes have more fun?”“But you had a blast, didn’t you? I wasn’t wrong?” she winked as I began to scroll through Kylo’s Twitter handle.'To my emerald-eyed drinking buddy that matched me shot for shot. You

Unexpected

OAKLYNN’S POVSo I guess y’all are waiting for a detailed report on how the telephone conversation with Ren went?Well... it didn’t...I know, I know... I’m sorry okay??I wanted to talk to him-I really did. Y’all know that so quit coming at me okay? It’s just that when he called, I froze. Like literally!My hands were sweating and shaking so badly my iPhone slid off and crashed onto the floor. What are the odds right?? But this is a true story so you best believe it because it happened. Gosh, I’m such a coward. I know, I know. Tell me something I don’t know, will you? I got cold feet, same as he did the other day, I don’t know what I’m so afraid of anyway, it’s just a freakin’ call?! All I had to do was press answer, but I don’t understand how something so simple turned into a- let’s just drop it. Maybe next time I’ll be ready, but what if th

Do Things

OAKLYNN’S POV“Not so fast jerkface!”Tristan and I jumped apart as Hailey burst into my bedroom again and yanked Tristan back by his collar, while I cowered in the corner.“C’mon Hails!” Tristan protested as he rubbed the back of his neck. “Stop being a CB and lea-”Her brows drew down in a scowl and folded her arms. “I think it’s time you said your goodbyes and left,” then emphasized, “Now!” Hailey was extremely protective of me-worse than an older brother.“Can you at least allow me to say bye to Oaklynn?” He compromised.“I’m not leaving, you’re going to have to do it with me standing right here,” she told him, her mouth set in a stubborn line.That’s when I decided to step in. “It’s okay Hails. You can leave I’ll be safe.” I steered her towards the door. “Besides yo

Assertive

REN’S POV I’m in love...And I’ve never even met the girl.Crazy right?I never thought I’d care about her before, but since the first night we started talking, my fantasies have gone wild. But the sad thing is, my greatest fantasy about her is probably the least erotic thing I’ve ever thought about-it’s hearing her voice...seeing her for the first time... I’ve got this vision of her sitting across from me in a coffee shop while I just hold her hand. The sight of her smiling at me gets me every time. Her angelic smile, her soft voice. That’s all I want. And it’s all it takes to send me over the edge.Whenever I close my eyes I always imagine what she would look like-feel like... What would she be wearing the first time we finally meet? I see her holding a cup of coffee, her plump pink lips part and she smiles at me. Her whole face lights up, and she looks as if she

Misplaced Confidence

OAKLYNN’S POVRen was unusually quiet. It’s like he ghosted me or something.The last time I heard from him was the night Tristan came over and insisted that he wanted to take me out for my birthday. It was on a Saturday, and he was going to help his mother move back home to Atlanta this weekend. It was also his way of thanking me for being a support system throughout the whole ugly divorce between his parents.We had agreed to be friends, much to his dismay, but too much had happened and it was best if we put the past behind us and moved forward-separately. He was also going to take over the reins from his father’s hotel business and training started soon after graduation. There would be a lot of traveling involved and I don’t think any of us were ready for a long-distance on the heels of our break-up. It wasn’t going to work and I had resigned myself to the fact that it just wasn’t meant to be.This w

Goodbye

REN’S POVI stared at my phone screen and it blinked at me before it blanked out again.This had become the norm whenever I get the urge or temptation rather, to text or call Oaklynn. I always chickened out.But then again, what was the point of it all? She was back with her scumbag boyfriend and he made it clear as day that I should back off. And that’s exactly what I did. I respected her enough to step back and give her a chance at rekindling the romance with her high school sweetheart. I mean how could I even compete with that? The bond and their history alone were enough for him to get back in her good graces. I didn’t stand a chance.I mean, honestly, what did I have to go on? I hardly had a leg to stand on. She didn’t even know me. Had no idea what I looked like. Even if she had to bump into me on the streets she wouldn’t even know me. Same goes for me, I had no idea what she looked like. All I knew was

Desperate Measures

OAKLYNN’S POVOur combined efforts to get anywhere near Kylo were fruitless so far. No matter how hard Mel and I tried, we were always turned away, threatened with a lawsuit or both.I tried telling his security detail that Kylo knew me but then again I didn’t tell him my name and even if he did, he might not even remember my face. Besides, how many other girls claimed that like all the time? We were running out of time, he was leaving London in two days and we still hadn’t spoken to him.Desperate callsl for desperate measures so I came up with a plan-maybe not the best one but it would get me close enough. Since we were already staying in the same hotel there had to be a way of getting to him without being blocked by his bodyguards.Mel and I decided to dress up as cleaning ladies and snuck up to Kylo’s floor in the pretense of wanting to clean up his room. Fortunately, we were not recognized as the girls that ha

Catch Me If Y*u Can

OAKLYNN'S POV Kylo was very understanding-more accomodating actually. Fortunately or much to my dismay, he had thrown some clothes on and robbed me of my disguised pleasure of internally drooling over his eight-pack. I knew he was a busy man so I gave him a brief summary of the situation at hand, and he promised he would straighten things out with his legal team, although he claimed not to recall the impromptu interview. We ended up in the adjoining sitting area of his penthouse suite, when I took my phone out of my pocket and placed it on the side table as played it back for him-and he was in stitches throughout the whole thing. "I can't believe I said all those things!" He was smiling at me, with a softness in his eyes, a warmth, an affection that reached out to me and made me want to reach out to him. And into my head, into my consciousness, slowly, like a swimmer emerging from a d

Odds

KYLO'S POV It can't be a coincidence. It's either that or my mind is playing tricks on me. First, it was her boyfriend and then her best friend. What are the odds that the loser's name is Tristan and the best friend's name is Hailey? Guess there's only one way of finding out... I lifted my backside slightly so I could fish my phone out of my pocket and scrolled through the contacts. Drat! I not only deleted her number but I blocked her too. I'm a special kinda stupid-I know, I know... What do I do now? Maybe wait for her friend to call again so I can answer her and-and-yeah... What would I say? Hey, it's me... I suspected your girl was someone that I've been chatting to and I took her phone... Hahahaha... No. When I put it that way it would make me look li
