#Chapter441 “I want to marry you Heath James Travon. If it’s you and only you. I can’t think of anyone else I’d spend the rest of my life with. You’re the best choice I’m making in life. The person I’m choosing over my fears. My stupid silly fears that haunt me, but you cast them away like a knight. I’m choosing to love you forever. Because Heath you are worth conquering every fear of mine. You’re worth to me more than anything. And I’m sorry that it took me this long to realize. I shouldn’t have taken this long. I’m sorry I disappointed you. I didn’t wa—” I cut her off with another long kiss that erupted fire within me and I had the urge to lie her on the seat and kiss her senselessly as my hand would wander her skin but I didn’t. She wanted to talk.“Heath, will you marry me?” My heart stopped. “What?” I croaked out and Hope giggled and I loved the sound of her laughter.“I’m asking, will you marry me?” I gripped her waist and squeezed her gently.“This was supposed
#Chapter442 “And did you wear this dress for me to take off and fuck your afterwards?” I was whispering to her so the other two idiots wouldn’t hear us.“I wished for that.” Hope replied and I almost bunched up the dress in my hands. “Hey you two. Cut it. We’re going home. I’m tired.” With that Sebastian drove us home where I found my car parked in the parking lot. I frowned at the sight of it. “What’s wrong?” Hope asked from beside me.“I took my car with me. I don’t understand how it’s here.” Hope took my hand and entwined our fingers.“That’s strange.” Just then a man stepped out from the expensive SUV and I sided Hope behind me to shield her. In the shadows I could hardly make it out who it was but after some light shed onto his face I saw Xavier Travon.“Son.” I hated how he seemed to have picked on this word lately.“Do you want something?” I asked through gritted teeth as he came near.“No. I wanted to see you and make sure you were okay.” H
#Chapter443 Heath’s POVKissing the curve of her neck I caressed the skin of her stomach. Loving how soft and silky the skin felt underneath my fingertips. I moved to her throat and peppered it with kisses, earning a moan in return.She was coming around. Good. My hands slipped to the area between her thighs and she let me. “Heath,” Rose whispered and fluttered her eyelids, and then looked at me as I hovered over her.“Hmm,” I kissed her nose and then put my lips onto hers. She tried pushing me away but her attempt was a massive fail. I didn’t care about her morning breath.“Morning breath.” She murmured and I went for another kiss, making sure to devour her mouth this time. Her hands circled around my neck and I leaned down to enjoy the taste of her. Her lips were sweet. No wonder she had eaten chocolate as her last meal. “Spread your legs for me.” Lazily she obeyed my command and with a grin I trailed kisses all along her jawline and heard her whimpers. “You
#Chapter444 I watched her, waited for her to get free so I could have her all to myself. My body was craving for her. After being away from her for so long was giving me withdrawals. Even though we had sex twice I stilled wanted to be inside her and make her come for hours. Fuck my dirty mind.“You can’t hide forever.” My girlfriend was fidgeting with her hands against the sink when I snuck up on her and threw her on my shoulder and walked us to the living room. Putting her down on the couch I hovered over her.“Are we good?” Rose asked before I could kiss her.“We were never bad, Rose. We just needed to work out on our disagreement.” She sighed and raised her arms and rounded them around my neck. I made her sit on my lap with her head lying over my shoulder.“You’ve forgiven me Heath?” I took her palm and kissed the area.“Yes I have. We’re good. Don’t worry. It feels like we have made up so fast, but truth be told all I wanted was for you to give me a hint that you
#Chapter445 “They love each other.” Rose whispered next to me and I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her to me.“Just like us.” Bending down I kissed her lips and then her forehead. I didn’t give two flying fucks about my parents being the same room. “So now you’ll meet us and talk to us more often right?” Mom looked so hopeful as she asked me. I snuck a glance at my dad’s direction and his gaze on me was hard. If I said no he’d bury me alive. “I can try.” Mom squealed and hugged my dad who melted in her embrace.“Yes Tesero.” I had no idea what that word meant but I guess it was an endearment.“He said to take things slow. Don’t rush.” Mom nodded and I saw dad doing everything in his power to give her hope.“You shouldn’t have left me alone. I didn’t…” like that. I wish you had been there. I needed you. There was so much on the tip of my tongue yet I couldn’t utter the words out.“I know. And I’m sorry Heath.” Mom had tears in her eyes yet again and I could only h
#Chapter1 Heath BOOK1Hope’s POV I turned my head away from Miss Hannah and looked at the huge, old sycamore tree which was situated right in the center of the parking lot. Its branches created a magnificent shady bower over the school's parking lot, adorned with maple-like leaves, pale yellow and crisp dry. I noticed one of the leaves on the highest branch broke off from its twig and fell. It glided slowly through the thin autumn air until it finally hit the cold ground. I was still staring at the dead, wilted leaf when I heard the loud shrieking of the bell ringing in the quiet hallways.Standing up, I gathered my books and left the classroom in a hurry. I went to my locker and collected my folder and the books I needed for the next classes. Slamming it shut, I began to walk to chemistry class.As I made my way through the crowded hallway I felt several pairs of eyes on me, scowling at me while others just blankly ignored me. I was glad that they pretended that I didn't
#Chapter2He rudely answered. His words hurt me and before I knew I replied."Excuse me?" I timidly spoke while staring back at him. He arched one of his eyebrows at me."You heard me," he gritted through his teeth and I shyly looked around."If I wasn't looking then you could have looked and not collided with me." This was the most I had ever spoken to a stranger - especially a boy. I just didn't like the way he said those words to me. He dumped all the blame on me. I wanted him to know that I could stand up for myself but my voice betrayed me as my words were low and weak and I don't really think he heard that.'That is what I am. Weak.' I thought."Whatever," he hissed agitatedly. I don't even think he heard me. Giving me one last look he walked away without glancing back. I shook my head at his coldness and went to my next class. This was my first interaction with the mysterious angry boy of the school and I was already regretting it. He was so... mean and col
#Chapter3Hope's POVThe next morning I got awoken from my long, peaceful sleep by the chirping of the choir of the birds that were unknowingly perching outside my window, while freely gliding through the crispy and cold morning air of October. Their song was beautifully composed, every note well-practiced and every voice different from the other, that I couldn't help but let the heart-touching rhythm draw a small smile on my face.Shortly, I threw my grey fluffy blanket aside, and went into the bathroom. Quickly doing my morning routine, I slipped on some new clothes. Before long, I was ready and headed downstairs. When I reached the last step I heard the low, yet sharp, clinking sounds of the utensils coming from the kitchen. Eager to know who it was, I hurried into the kitchen. Once I peeked into the room I saw my mother making pancakes near the stove. Now, this was a sight I wanted to wake up to every day. There's just something about your mother's food. You can ne
