LOGIN“Most of the time, that's not usually the case, but we want to rule out anything suspicious, ma'am.”I drew in a breath, my fingers dragging into my hair.Cancer?He was saying I could have cancer? The thought alone sent cold shivers down my spine.“When can I do this CT scan?” When my voice shook, I realized how terrified I actually was.My heart was slamming fast against my ribs, and my feet felt numb.Dr. Jax filled a cup with water and handed it over. “You shouldn't worry so much, ma'am, we aren't certain that it's cancer.”“But what if it is?” I took the cup with trembling hands, and drank its content at once.“Then our team will do everything in their power to fight it with you, ma'am.” He assured, and somehow the confidence in his voice made me feel a little better.My stomach still felt tightened, but I wanted to believe that I was overreacting and everything would be alright.So, I cleared my throat, then asked again, “When can I get the CT scan done?”“Since it doesn't look
– Rachel Red –I rested one arm out the window while the other held the wheels.The cool afternoon breeze ran into the car, sending goosebumps up my skin.But I liked it.Moments like this made me forget all the shit happening in my life.It made me forget that Richard and I hadn't talked for almost a month now.Seven years of being in a relationship was ruined so… cheaply.This wasn't the first time we'd break up (even though neither of us had officially said we're breaking up), but it still hurt to know he'd let something so unimportant come in between us.A cough broke out of my throat, and I muttered a few cuss words under my breath.This dang cough.It wouldn't go away.And after so much pestering from Leo, I'd finally decided to get a doctor to check on me and decide on the medicine I'd need.That was why I parked my car in front of the hospital, and went in, keeping my purse in hand.A small sigh left my lips as I glanced at myself through the mirror walls. I had definitely los
The kiss was slow and soft, expressing so many things.My hands moved up his shoulders as I took in every feel of his lips.I had no idea who started it, but the next thing I knew… The kiss deepened.Drex's other arm snuck around my waist, pulling me close as he kissed. Hard.He sucked the air from my lungs, sending an instant chill down my body.A moan broke out of my throat, especially as he moved me so my back pressed against the nearest pillar.“Oh Lisa,” he breathed against my mouth, but I didn't give him the chance to say anything as our tongues started to move in sync. My fingers curled around his shirt, gripping a fistful.His groan sent a wave of wetness down my middles, especially when I felt his erection slam to my belly.“Your lips are so fucking beautiful.” He groaned, then his lips trailed down to my jaw, before dropping to my neck.A soft moan left my lips as my head tilted sideways, giving him full permission.“Drex…” I mumbled slowly when he gripped my hips and press
I stayed in Drex's embrace for a long moment, savoring that sweet manly smell of his. It was enough to ease any bit of tension left in my body.By the time we pulled apart, his hand rested on my waist as we left the airport.I didn't know if he had forgotten about his flight, but I didn't tell him. At that moment, I didn't want him to be away.The last thing I wanted was to have to say goodbye right after confessing my feelings.We stopped by my car, and Drex pulled me in for another kiss.“There is no doubt that today's the best day of my life.” He mumbled against my mouth, sending chills down my spine.The good type.A small smile pulled up my lips. “Did you bring your car?”“No, my driver left after driving me here.”“So how're you going to get home?”He shrugged. “I have no idea.”Our lips were inches apart when I asked in a low voice. “You want to take my car?” I knew he could just stop a cab or something. Or even get his driver to come back, but I asked either way.A smirk pulle
“Wha— W-What?” Everywhere fell silent, or maybe that was just because my full attention was fixed on him.Our eyes met, and neither broke it.It seemed like everything around me disappeared… the people, the place, the automated sound… everything.All I saw was him.Drex. And the shock in his eyes.Slowly, my feet moved, each step drawing me closer to him. Closer to the man I loved so much, and didn't even realize.The one who managed to make my heart ache by being away. Someone who could make me insane just at the thought of him leaving.I stopped right in front of him, and for a whole second, we both just stared at each other.His face had so many emotions. Shock. Disbelief. Uncertainty. Confusion. Fear.“Lisa?” I sniffed as my eyes filled, and rubbed my nose with the back of my palm. “This is unfair, and you know that.”“Li—”“You were so confident when you said you'd fight for our love. When you promised to not lose me again.” I huffed. “Where did all that go?”“Wait,” he looked
My hand dragged into my hair.What the—? “What the hell have I done?!”I broke up with Drex. I ended things with him for no reason. I remembered the look on his face the day I told him to stay out of my life, and an instant discomfort landed.I stood and started to pace. “I need to talk to him. Heck, I need to clarify everything.”Without a second thought, I reached for my phone and instantly went through my contact list, but paused at his name.Because what would I even say? I'd ended things so harshly, how would I restore it?And what if he doesn't listen? What if he had forgotten about me and moved on?That was unlikely, yet I couldn't help thinking about it, and panic set in.I had to talk to him.This wasn't a time to start thinking about what to say. I just had to explain everything before it got too late.Which was why I dialled his number.Irea just watched me silently, and we both waited as it rang once. Twice. Three, four times… until I was led to voicemail."No no, why's h
