《I Love You; Good Bye》Page Fifteen

Ophelia wanted to reply. She couldn’t.
Vera’s features scrunched up as if she were in pain. But she wasn’t, Ophelia knew, that it was anger which had taken over her mind—although the origin of Vera’s rage was a mystery to her.
“Get dressed,” Vera told her again, while pointing to Ophelia’s clothes this time, which had been left hanging on a nearby chair. “You shouldn’t walk amongst our ranks. It’s wrong.”
I know, Ophelia wanted to say.
It is wrong, but what can I do about it? What can I do, when I have nothing else but here?
“Didn’t you hear me?” Vera’s breaths had hitched. The calm and collected young woman Ophelia first met when she’d arrived was gone. Her face was red, her lips made of trembles, and her hands fisted in the cream-colored collar of Ophelia’s nightgown, which she now held as if her life depended on it. “I told you to leave!”
There was a creak in the corridor. Vera turned her head towards the half-opened door. A gasp escaped her. The strands of hair that were neatly tucked behind her ears fell before her eyes. It was too late for her to turn back from what she had set in motion, because Elian was now gazing at them both. And in his glare there was confusion, worry, unspoken questions all at once. It took him a moment, before he finally said, “I would like an explanation, but we have more pressing matters at hand. Vera.” His attention shot towards her. “Release Ophelia. You shouldn’t be here.”
It was a strange thing, Ophelia thought, to be hearing Vera’s reproaches coming out from Elian’s mouth.
Vera complied. Her head hung low. By now, sunlight had begun to filter in through the round window out of their reaches, as newly hatched bluebirds sung their songs in the rooftop’s dents. “Elian,” she said, “I only wanted to protect you before this”—her finger found itself inches away from Ophelia’s nose—“consumes you again.”

Elian parted his lips. They moved, once, twice, thrice, yet, no sound came out. He sighed. He said, “It won’t be like last time.”
Last time?
What does he mean by last time?
“You’re a bad liar, Elian.” Judging from Elian’s expression, it surprised him—just as much as it had Ophelia—that Vera used such a condescending tone on the Prince of her country. “You’re going to get hurt again; except this time—” Vera stepped away from Ophelia. She walked past Elian, and came to a halt only once her long, black velvet cape was covered in his shadow. “This time,” she said, “Not me, nor anybody else will be there to protect you.”
She dashed out the doorway.

First one

When her new friend Mia drags her to her first ever College party and her path collides with Mia's brother both of them derail.

However when Isabella seeks comfort with tall dark and handsome Drew, Lukas tries everything in his power to keep the two apart. Lukas is trouble, Isabella way too good to be his type, but still they can't stay away from each other.❄️"Lukas, are you hugging me? Is coldhearted Lukas hugging a girl?" My drunk tongue blurted out. "Shut up, I'm just keeping you from falling face down in the toilet." He whispered in my ear and I felt his breath against my skin. "Yeah right. You are soooo hugging me." I teased him knowing he was indeed hugging me, but he was too stubborn to admit it. "No, I'm not." He said, pulling me even closer to him before curving his lips against the skin behind my ear. He's such a goner...❄️NOTE: 👀 please ignore the way the first ten chapters are written. First book ever and that's noticeable. It gets so much better after those I promise.

Completed ✔"Damn she's thick." We both hear. I move to step over towards him. Eureka holds my arm drawing my attention back on her. She gets on her tippy toes. I brace forwards to cut the gap between us. Eureka holds around my neck putting her face to my ear. That's when I hear her whisper. "There's no need for you to get upset. He can only look, and not touch because I'm yours." I stiffen in my jeans. Getting aroused from her boldness. But I take it one step further. Gripping her neck. Detka holds my arm tighter. Lighty moans where only I can hear. I stand up straighter holding her against me by her neck. Looking at the cashier who is still watching her. I cough getting his attention. "Uhmm. Thank you but our groceries won't ring up themselves." He looks at me now. I smirk at him, taking Eureka's hand. "Also it's not nice to stare at what isn't yours." Eureka squeezes my hand. "Behave." She mutters. I ignore her and finish unpacking what's left. >>> What folks are commenting >>>"I love the story it's different from other stories I read.
