SEX WITH MY BEST FRIEND'S FIANCÉ
Chapter 74 - SEVENTY FOUR

Chapter 74: Chapter SEVENTY FOUR

- HAZEL -

Kate is packing. I’m supposed to be having lectures but I skipped it to give her a hand. I don’t know when she’ll be back but I do know she’ll be back for exams and tests. Till then, her stay back home may be indefinite. I really hope everything goes well for her and her family. I’m really going to miss her.

While locking lips with Killian? My mind taunts and I shove the thought off. A grin forms on my face.

Yes, while locking lips with Killian. Consider it good will. I reply myself in my head.

The truck boot jams shut and the driver walks to the front, entering the driver’s seat. I can’t believe she’ll be gone. Temporarily, but I still can’t believe it. I moved to this school because of her. Partially because I had a messy break up but mainly because I wanted to be with her and now, life is taking her far away from me. Again.

"Okay, I guess this is it." Kate says, walking to me. Her eyes are reddish and her under eyes are sore. She looks drained of energy and I can tell this family issue really affects her despite the strong facade she puts on. I pull her in for a hug, squeezing her to my chest in an embrace.

"I’m really going to miss you." I say, my voice breaking. "So damn much." A sob escapes my lips. I’ve been trying so hard not to cry for her sake but I can’t do it anymore. Kate packed every single thing from her room down to her mattress, and it scares me. If she took just her clothes, books and creams, I would understand but she didn’t. This seems like it’ll take forever to sort out and I have no friend here. None at all.

The school dinner didn’t go as I had anticipated. I barely mingled.

Kate’s hands hang in the air for a second. Soon, it envelopes my back as she squishes me. I can’t breathe but I don’t complain. I don’t know when next I’ll see her. Or feel her. I don’t know when next I’ll enjoy the sweet cologne oozing out of her skin. I sink my nose into her shoulder, bearing the slight ache her arms are causing to my torso.

"I’ll be back soon. Plus, we’ll always talk over the phone. And have a series of video calls too. It’ll be like our group calls with the other girls." She says and I giggle. It won’t be the same but that works. We’ve made it work before, and we’ll do it again.

"Damn, I’m going to miss dissing Ivy by your side."

"Who knows? I may even help you rip out her hair."

"Would be much appreciated." I croak and she lets go of me. Her Uber is waiting. She’s taking a flight home but all her things will be transported by land.

"Hazel-" Kate calls my name with a worried look on her face when her phone rings. She dips her hand inside her pocket and looks at the screen. "It’s my mom." She says.

I guess she has to go.

"I love you. I’ll see you later! Bye!" She waves and darts forward. I wonder what she wanted to tell me. Watching her get on the phone and step into the car sucks. I feel sadder than I have in the past few seconds.

Kate didn’t look back. Part of me was glad fat she didn’t. I would’ve ran to the car and kept running after her. Call it dramatic but she’s my best friend. I stand and watch as the car drives away, followed by the truck.

My phone made a soft ding. I raise my hand to my face to look at the screen. It’s a notification from Kate.

’I guess it’s a ’see you soon’ again.’

I turn off my phone. This is breaking my heart way more than it is supposed to. I’ve lived away from this girl before yet after a short reunion, it seems like forever.

Once the vehicles were out of my sight, I sigh and walk back into my dorm. Today definitely is a good day to call in sick throughout. I’ve missed my first two classes anyway. Maybe I should rest throughout the remaining day and get myself together later.

I stick my key in the hole and twist it to the side. My door came open with the first turn, before the first unlocking. Normally, I’d hear a loud ’click’ but I didn’t.

Oh. I could’ve sworn that I locked before I left, yet it’s open. Maybe I didn’t.

Maybe being sad is messing with my mind and making me assume or forget things. I push my door open gently and make my way to my bed. No one but me is inside.

That’s better. I’ll enjoy the peace and quiet very much.

*

A loud noise blares in my ears, forcing me to sit up.

My eyes widen and I raise my hands to cover both my ears while creasing my brows.

What the fuck?

I look around me to see my roommates. I’m still so freaking sleepy but that noise gave me a headache.

I groan with frustration. What the actual fuck was that? What on earth caused such a loud noise? I want to voice out my frustration but I hold myself. I just woke up, and grumpy, devoid of sleep, me won’t hold most of a friendly conversation with them. The last thing I want is to ruin the atmosphere between the only three people I actually communicate with in this school.

I rummage my hand on my bed in search for my phone. My sleepy eyes barely stay open during the search so it takes longer than usual to find my phone.

My hand suddenly feels a hard lump and I wrap my hand around the rectangle object. I hold it to my face.

It’s my phone, alright. I quickly unlock my phone and head to my chats. I feel fucking horrible. It’s evening and I slept throughout her journey back home.

Kate left me a ’I just arrived. The atmosphere is decent so far. I never thought I’d say this, but I don’t want to see my step cousins.’ message.

I sigh, running my hand through my hair. What should I text first? ’Hi’? I groan. I shut my eyelids close then widen them. I’m trying so hard not to succumb to the sexiness oozing out of my pillow. I swear, it’s seducing me.

’Have a nice trip? I’m so glad to know you’re home.

Please take care of yourself and keep me informed all through.’

I yawn into my palm then continue texting.

’I slept off once you left. I would’ve checked in earlier, sorry.

If you indeed meet those fuckers, do tell me how it goes. Need to know if there’s a need to hire someone to terminate several bloodlines.’ I send the emoji of two swords crossing against eachother, to form an ’x’ then a skull emoji and the drop of blood emoji.

’Text me when you see this. I’ll be studying. Luv you xx’ I add.

I leave our chat and sigh. Now my heart can be at peace. I look around my room. It’s filled with people involving in conversations.

I can’t tell anyone to be quiet and one noisy chatter isn’t as bad as it seems. I scroll through my un-replied text messages. I’m too lazy to respond to any.

I yawn again, this time, without covering my mouth. I scroll back to the top. Although my messages shows the double tick, Kate hasn’t read it yet.

I bite my lower lip and look at the name above hers. Killian is pinned. I didn’t save him with his name for certain reasons but that’s not what bugs me right now.

I have twelve unread messages from him. I haven’t clicked on his chat yet and the last text showing is ’I am coming over.’

This makes my eyes shoot open immediately. Sleep suddenly washes off my face and I open his chat.

’Good morning, kitten.’

’Are you coming today?’

’Didn’t see you at lectures.’

’Is someone avoiding me?’

’Hazel, you’ve not been here all day, are you okay?’

’Do you need me to come over?’

’Reply me.’

*Missed call*

*Missed call*

’I swear to God, if you don’t pick up...’

’Fuck, kitten, I miss you.’

’Where are you? Feeling okay?’

’Are you in your dorm?’

’I am coming over.’

This is a mixture of cute and hot. A smile paints my lips as I chuckle. Just last night, I accepted his proposal and today, he seems like a totally different person. Killian was worried about me.

But my goodness, twelve messages? He barely ever texts me once daily till now. This gives me some sort of euphoria. I reread his texts. Every text has an hour or a few minutes interval before the other.

My cheeks burns.

I can’t stop rereading. This is so freaking cute!! I fall back on my pillow, holding my phone while grinning like a child. My eyes land on the last text and I look at the time he sent that. That was thirty minutes ago.

I sit up immediately and stare at it.

Is he really coming over? Should I tell him not to?

I form a bowl with my hand and bring my hand to my mouth. I breathe into it then inhale.

My breath is not something I want him to inhale. I need to get dressed!

’Killian’ I start typing when a message drops.

’I’m outside.’

I blink.

That human actually came. What if I was still sleeping? Would he send someone to come and get me? That’s if he knows my room number.

’What the fuck? I was asleep.’ I text.

’I’m glad you had a nice nap. Meet me outside.’

I pout. I didn’t say I had a nice nap.

’Give me a few minutes. I look like shit.’

He’s typing. I wait.

’Hazel, I don’t care, meet me outside.’

This makes my brows furrow.

’And you never look like shit. Not even when you sleep.’

I don’t know why this melts my heart.

’Don’t worry about showering or getting ready. I got everything you need. Just come to me.’

Well, when he asks me like that, how can I say no?

I climb down my bed. The good thing is, I’m putting on decent clothes. I didn’t change when I left Kate this morning. I just hope I don’t get to regret meeting with him in this state. It’s so embarrassing yet I’m going.

I grab my bag and a few note books along with my laptop.

Bold of you to assume you’ll be having any studying when you two are alone. This thought makes my heart race.

I straighten my hair with my hand and make my way to the door.

"Guys, I’ll see you later. If I don’t come back tonight, know I’m okay." I say out loud to my roommates without looking at anyone in particular and wave. Their voices chorus and I walk out the door.

Messily hanging my bag over my shoulder, I hold my phone to text him.

’I’m coming out-’ I bump into someone before I could finish texting that.

If only I had paid attention to my environment!

"I’m so sorry." I say, turning to see a lady with black hair. Wow, she’s tall. It’s a wonder how I didn’t see her.

"It’s okay. You alright?" She asks, assuring me that she’s fine. There’s a huskiness laced in her voice that’s both alluring and amusing. This makes me examine her body. Compared to her who’s neatly dressed, with a decent amount of makeup and glossy red lips, I look like shit.

THIS IS KILLIAN’S FAULT!

"I’m fine, thanks. Sorry again." I say hurriedly. I want to get out of here asap.

[ Translation: Asap means As soon as possible. ]

Once I was sure she’s fine, I walk away. I’ve never seen her around. Maybe she’s a transfer student. I grin, remembering when I first got here. Won’t be a surprise.

I walk out of my dorm. Killian is parked right in front. That makes my mouth drop. Is he crazy? So many ladies know him. They have seen him. In fact, the students that take his classes have a crush on him and he shows up in the open to pick me? Does he want my head hung the next time he wants to meet?

"Hazel," He says the moment I walk to him, opening the door.

"Don’t say anything. Just get in the car and drive." I hide my face and enter the passenger seat.

Killian raises his hand and leans closer to me. "Your wish is my command." He says and shuts my door. There was a smirk on his face when he said that.

It gave me butterflies. Good Lord, this man won’t be the end of me.
