All Chapters of Ophelia: The Awakening of a Myth: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I let my eyes travel from Chris’ brown eyes to his perfectly plump lips. At that moment, I wanted more than anything to feel his lips on mine, to taste them, bite them. I looked into his eyes again, and I realized that he had the same thoughts as me.I closed my eyes and I felt his lips brushing mine. And then, I saw my mom; she was happy, and she was laughing with the father of the boy I was about to kiss. My eyes snapped open, and I sat on the floor.What was I thinking? I mentally cursed and scolded myself. I shouldn’t have let my guard down that easily. Admittedly, Chris was hot as hell, but he was out of my reach. He may end up being my family!“Tell me a memory,” I told him, trying to sound unfazed by what was a

My life took a different turn the moment my mother agreed on marrying David. It was like everything fell into place, and for once I felt content. David was treating me like I was his daughter; he was the closest I had to a paternal figure.Mom and David didn’t rush to get married. On the contrary, they spend almost a year engaged, while mom had all the time she wanted to design her dream wedding. Besides all the wedding preparations, we decided that we had to live in the same house, considering mom and David were going to get married. So, once again we had to move from our current home to David’s apartment. Much to my surprise, the apartment was spacious; mom and David would share the master bedroom, and I had a separate bedroom j

Life was so carefree when I was a teenager; being a supernatural spice it up a bit. Time passed by so quickly, and now I wish I could be forever sixteen. Izzie and I decided to go to the same High School with Chris. Although we weren’t in the same grade, we could spend the school’s breaks together and hung out with his friends.High school was full of drama, sometimes I wondered where teenagers found so many reasons and energy to bicker, brag, or bully the ones who seemed weak. Chris was one of the most popular guys in high school because he was captain of the school’s football team, an A student, and handsome. He could be the definition of the playboy if it wasn’t for Izzie. They used to fight a lot, especially when o

Life at university was even better from high school; parties with alcohol, dance, and many hot guys. It was pretty much the definition of what young adults considered as paradise. I went into parties, got drunk sometimes, although my high tolerance on alcohol made it really difficult, I had numerous hot make-out sessions with sexy guys. And that was all the fun I had during Friday and Saturday nights.Because the other days of the week, I was the definition of a nerd. I attended all my classes, read a lot until late at night, went to the gym, and practiced so I can keep my shape. Some afternoons I went to help with the service at my family's restaurants, so I could earn some extra pocket money. In my free time, I painted and joined a club for aspiring young artists. Sundays were devoted to my family; I went to visit them, and we had lunch or dinner all together.Mom started to make amends with the fact that I would be a Police Officer, or she believed that maybe my stu

“Ophelia,” I heard him whisper, and he grabbed my arm to pull me towards him. I turned around perplexed, and before I even know it his lips were on mine…Our lips locked, and despite the many men I’ve kissed before, this felt different. It was like a million butterflies were flying inside my stomach. My limbs went numb, and I brought my arms around his neck. He bit my lower lip; the gasp that escaped my lips gave his tongue the perfect opportunity to enter my mouth, explore it. I tried my best to keep up with his rhythm and held back the moans that were about to escape my lips. His one hand roamed freely on my back, while his other intertwined between my dark locks.
