Avery’s pov
“Apartment?” I voiced out my confusion and he nod, grip on the steering wheel tightening. “Dean kicked me out of the dorms for beating up Kyan. Had to find an apartment before he gets back.”
Something twisted in my stomach. I can’t help but think that I was the cause of all of this. It’s because of me Kyan and Xade got into an altercation. I wasn’t really mad at Xade, I was mad at me.
“I’m sorry,” my voice cracks.
He spared me a glance and I know he’s more than confused. “For what?- Aren’t I supposed to be the one apologizing and getting you to forgive me? Thought I had a little more mopping to do V.” I can practically hear the smirk in his voice. “Guess we can skip the making up part and jump straight to the kissing part now”
I scoffed. biting the inside of my check to not giggle. “I’m still mad at what you did. I haven’t forgiven you yet.”
I honestly believe that I liked the idea of Xade doing whatever it takes to make me forgive him.
I let out a shallow breath when his hand suddenly land on my thigh and his fingers lightly press into my skin. “Hmm, I suppose I need to work on it a little more.”
For the remainder of the ride Xade keeps his hand on my thigh, the grip a bit possessive. making my heart race. When we got to his apartment and he opens the door. I am not surprised that the apartment was in fact a penthouse and luxurious.

“This was the closest place I could find on such short notice.” He grumbles, kicking one of the moving boxes to the side
I looked around, seeing how messy it was with how he carelessly threw boxes and bags everywhere “Sorry for the mess Kind of didn’t get a chance yet to pack things up”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
His baby blues shift to me, his head tilting and lower lip gripped by his

“It sunts you.” I smiled, looking at the box that was half opened. “As long as you’re happy here and comfortable ”
“I’m happy wherever you are V.” he sind, making me flush Trying to get distracted so I’d not feel these emotions. If guess I’ll get to work by helping you pack these

I make a move to one of the boxes passing him but before I could his hand gripped my arm and he stopped me Fire Electricity. His touch
set me ablaze
“V” his voice had gone soft like honey Sweet addictive honey “1 want you to stay with me ”
My heart skipped and I was certam I was losing it Did he just ask me to live here with him” I looked at Xade and he looks very serious
“What?” I breathed out searching his eves for any signs that he was joking I couldn’t find any, which is scaring me even more
He pulls me in my body softly pressing to his My breath is snagged and Imples race down my spine as I peered into his lovely blues “I want you here, with me” Ile pulled my hand to his chest and I’m shocked to feel how fast his heart is beating under my hand
“I want to wake up with you on mornings and go to bed with you, do
all those cheesy things couples do Avery,” his blue hues searched my eyes and I could see them flicked with nervousness. “I wasn’t kidding when I said I wanted this,” he breathed out, sounding so truthful
His head dipped, curls falling over his eyes and dusting over his lashes. I want to run my hand through them and pull them away from those blue hues that always seem to read me like an open book
“I want you.” he whispered, eyes dilating “I’ve always wanted you This, us.” His other hand wrapped around my midsection and the pads of his fingers press lightly on my spine, causing me to arch into him and let out a small gasp.
“I want us.”

Oh God. Ive known Nade for years, he has beer someone I can rely on. We’ve flirted, he was ev However, things have never been this intense before between us and I didn’t know how to act with this new feeling.
I bit my lip and whispered. “Everyone’s talking about us on campus Xade. They’ve called me bad names, said I’m a slut for going after my friend’s boyfriend and for sleeping with my ex boyfriend’s roommate.”
Xade scoffed. pulling me closer. “I don’t give a d*mn what they think V. Melissa was never my girlfriend. No one has ever held that title. except you. You’re my girl and I don’t care what anyone else thinks or says.”
I frowned. He may not care but I do. I’m the one known for being a backstabbing bi*ch. Melissa didn’t even talk to me today and I was sure she had heard the rumors too.
It will only take a matter of time until she confronts me about it. Mel was my friend and I had hurt her. She was in love with Xade. I wouldn’t blame her if she resents me

“You may not care but I do.” I shook my head and pulled away from
him. “Being labeled a whore isn’t music to my ears Xade. Can’t you see what we did was wrong?”
Xade run a hand through his hair and groaned. “I’m sorry f*ck,”
“I can’t go back and fix this V, if I can go back you would have never been with him and I’d never wasted my time with Melissa. If we went back in time I would have confessed how much I love you. Because guess what V?”
My heart sped and I feel light headed. “What?”
“I’ve loved you even before I took your first kiss. You should have been mine a long time ago. There’s so much I have to make up for, especially not maning up sooner and taking what’s mine. P have to forgive me for doing this,” he trailed off, lips.
My brows furrowed. Forgive him for what now?

As I am about to ask him, his lips are already on mine, hands in my hair and his other hand right on my bottom, squeezing as he groaned.
“Sorry, I’m going to be a little bit selfish right now and take what I’ve been dying for ever since I saw you in that tight little work uniform. You can go back to being angry with me later.” He breathed on my parted lips and went right back to kissing me like a starved man.
