Chapter 58

I enjoy going through the book sometimes and just reading some chapters to make corrections and cringe or just enjoy my characters’ companies. And last night I was reading the chapter titled ‘Second Arrangement’ and I really enjoyed a certain interaction and I want to share it with you guys again. This is what this chapter will be about. Me just updating it with random times I like in the book. And you can also tell me a moment you liked and I’ll place it here if you want to. So… here it is. Have a beautiful day. 😉 And also go check out the sequel we have new characters.

“Are you okay?” Sparks tilts her head a bit as she studies me.

“Yeah, let’s get out of here” I grab her by the hand and start to pull her. I wanted to be out of here and alone with her because it all disappeared when I was with her. No matter what place and no matter what we were doing, everything seemed okay. My life seemed normal and happy and that was because she was in it.

“Where to?” she asks as I turn off the lights to the gym and close up.

“The grocery store” I wave my eyebrows at her.

“Wow” she chuckles “Baseball guy might not be that bad”.

“Shut up” I chuckle along with her.

“You know you have to drive me to my place first so I could shower right?” Sparks asks as I pull her to me by the waist for the a hundredth time today hoping to get a kiss… Just a small kiss.

“That was not in my timetable”.

“I have to shower and look sexy for our grocery store date” she smiles looking into my eyes then her eyes slowly trace my face. Why does she look at me so much?

“It’s just the grocery store, plus you’re always sexy”.

“Bullshit” her eyes finally land on my lips.

“You kiss your mother with that mouth?” cause fuck how’d I’d like to be the only one those lips touch.

“Mmh, but currently someone else has not been giving it a break”.

“Yeah but they don’t mind dirty words coming from your mouth… In fact they want you as dirty as possible” I mumble the last part as Sparks’ lips are already on mine, her hands pulling me closer to her by the hair… Damn the hair.

This one here is from the chapter: Let’s do this?

I nod feeling the pull again and knowing I had no control over here. The magnet had all control. Before I know it we are inches apart and her eyes are searching mine questioningly as if she had so many questions but the one that was most clear is whether I’d allow her to kiss me. I nod again not sure what I was supposed to say, I just felt like I needed her lips on mine to find words.

She gets closer and our lips touch but only for a second making my heart beat increase in rate, but she moves back a bit already breaking the contact. She smiles and cups my cheek with one of her hands then brushes her thumb against my lips, parting them and rubbing my lower lip. What was going on in her mind at the moment?

“Beautiful” she whispers as if to answer me and then pulls me to her, our lips joining in what felt like the most lustful and gentle kiss. My hands go around her, one grabbing her by the hair and the other one resting around her neck and I pull her closer. I feel her smile against my lips and this gets me more excited and earns her smile from me. It was as if we were both waiting for this moment when we’d finally allow the other to know what was felt for them through the rhythm of our lips. We’d done this before but this was different, it felt different and we both knew it was different, it had a meaning behind it. Something about this felt right, her lips moving with mine in our own rhythm, her thumb rubbing the back of my neck gently.

Then, bang bang bang!! “Wake up love birds, it’s our big day!” someone yells outside the door.

“Mmhm” Cainine mumbles not wanting to pull away and I for sure didn’t want that.

“Cammon, open up, I need to shower and change, and so do you!” he yells again and I begin to pull away but she holds me in place. Damn it, she thinks I have that much strength to resist her over and over again.

I place one of my hands on her chest and start to push her back and she gives up and finally pulls away but with my lower lip between her teeth. She looks right into my eyes and sucks on it sending chills all over my body then lets go and stands up. She looks back at a shaken looking me.

“Good morning to you too” she grins and it’s contagious because I do too.

“Good morning” I say silently and she ruffles her hair, bends getting a bit close to me.

“See, I told you I don’t bite hard” she says causing me to roll my eyes and look away then she heads for the door leaving me floating on cloud 9. I didn’t understand much of what was happening, but for now, it was enough for me to know that she felt the same magnetic pull I did. The rest we would find out and sort out later. I rub my bottom lip with my thumb smiling as I watch her open the door, her messy hair making her look more incredible than her usual self. She looked pretty incredible all the time though.

“Good morning Austin” I hear her say.

“Yeah right, it’s 1 in the afternoon, and there’s nothing good about the hangover I’m feeling” her friend responded pushing Cainine aside and walking in. “Damn, it smells like sex in here… you two fucked in my bed?”.

It wouldn’t be good times without Drew and Austin am I right? Of course I am… Stars and water? How about starfish?

“Listen, girls like presents” Austin slurs.

“Now, if you want her to be your girlfriend, get her a gift” Drew continues and I glare at both of them.

“Yeah, I bet you two have gotten lots of gifts” I say to them.

“Okay… Okay hot shot, I see what you did there but I am no one’s girlfriend” Austin defends and I laugh laying my head on the back of the couch.

“Listen… listen guys, what are we celebrating?” Drew asks and Austin and I shrug. I believe you can guess we are all stoned… Very stoned. Austin was lying on his back on top of the counter, Drew was on the floor and I was on the couch.

“I’ll tell you what!” Austin suddenly yells “Our little girl here just found her soulmate”.

“Who’s little girl?” I groan.

“You’s little girl” he laughs.

“I’m happy for you little girl” Drew mumbles.

“I hate you two so much” I tell them then suddenly sit up an idea coming in mind. A golden idea “I need to get her a starfish”.

“What?” Austin asks.

“Starfish… She loves the ocean and stars” I tell them coming to the realization.

“Yes we’ll get her a starfish” Austin jumps from off the counter and I point him smiling as I nodded my head. Damn I was coming up with really great ideas lately.

This is one of my favorite chapters, I still feel things when I read it while I was editing… When I compare this chapter and the latest ones in Mistakes unveiled I just appreciate the chemistry between Cain and her old man… Nik is one of my favorite creations so he’ll obviously make it to Good time 😌

“You’re fucked up” I murmur and finally look up to meet his eyes.

“Hmm?”.

“Didn’t you hear me? I said you’re fucked up, mentally ill, screwed in the fucking brain, sickest man alive” I finally raise my voice pointing myself in the head as a gesture and watch as the smile on his face fades “You make me sick Nik, you make me fucking sick and the thought that I’m related to you makes me even sicker-“.

“Watch how you spea-“.

“Shut the fuck up!” I slam an open palm on the counter “I’m not watching anything, the way you raised me didn’t earn you any respect and you’ll never get respect from me, I’ll fucking curse when I want to” I lower my voice a bit the last part just to spite him and when he frowns I know my words hit a nerve… Good “I’ll also tell you how fucked up you are because that’s what you are” I point him.

“Alison…” he stands up from the stool “Just because you’re grown doesn’t mean I can’t fucking shut you up and teach you manners”. Ohh this gets to me, this fucking gets to me and I feel myself boiling in anger. He was threatening me, in my own fucking house too.

“Oh I dare you, I fucking dare you to lay a hand on me and I swear to the fucking heavens I’ll hurt you in ways no one ever has” I stand up straight challenging him. I wasn’t only saying this, I meant it, I had had enough and if it’s a fight he wanted, I’d give it to him. I watch him grit his teeth in annoyance, something he rarely did then look away from me. I actually made him look away from me.

“I don’t want to do this kid” he whispers still not meeting my eyes “I wanted to be nice, understanding, the supportive father, but you don’t fucking deserve that” he finally looks at me, his eyes cold. That’s more like it, I wanted him to be real with me and stop faking it, smiling and acting like he wanted the best for me when that was all a lie.

“I didn’t ask you to be either of those, hell I would’ve been fine without a father but your twisted brain thought it’d be okay to raise me in your fucked up twisted way”.

“You don’t know what you’re saying Alison, I fucking tried” he points me taking a step towards me but the counter blocks him from nearing me further “You should be fucking grateful”. I almost laugh… actually you know what, let me have this.

“Oh cammon…” I laugh “I know I’m gay and can’t get shit straight apparently but get this straight Nik, I’m not and will never be grateful for having you as a parent, if I can get that straight, you can too”. I notice him clench his jaw and even his fists to the side and it’s fine, I don’t feel threatened, this was my house and I knew where I kept the knives. “Don’t you see? don’t you see how your bullshit has messed me up Nik? Your jobs scarred me mentally, sometimes physically, then you added to the pain, you added to both the physical and mental pain and you expect me to be grateful? Are you fucking kidding me right now?”.

When stands up to him and dares him to lay a hand on her? damn one of my favorite lines from her.

SO I’m doing some changes and editing here and there and I just ran into early Sparks and Cain and yeah some shit is cringe but I don’t want to change most of it. Besides, I’m a cringe person, so we’re embracing the cringe 😉

With flour on her cheeks, she puts the bowl in the mixer and I can’t help but smile at how adorable the flour makes her look.

“Oh… You have something on your…” I point her cheek and notice her blush a little as she roles her eyes.

“I know, it gets kind of messy when I make pancakes”.

“It’s cute” I laugh.

“Oh you think so?” she asks and right before I can answer she cups my cheeks spreading the flour from her hands all over my face.

“Son of a bitch-“.

“Now you’re cute too” she laughs as she walks away from me to withdraw the bowl from the mixer but the moment she places it back on the marble counter top and turns she finds me right behind her. She can’t just say that and expect me to let it go.

“Am I now?” I ask and her eyes widen at the sudden closeness and I smile wider.

I don’t care, I find these two really cute sometimes and the fact there’ve barely interacted in the new book hurts but we’re about to change that, so if you haven’t go check the new book out.
