phone and rolled over to try and turn away from all my troubled… eventually I fell asleep.

***

Monday morning came too quickly! It might have been because I had spent the whole weekend curled up in my bed, ignoring the infinite amount of calls from Ian.

Sam had herd from Joe about us and stayed over at mine last night, we stayed up all night! It was full of me explaining then crying and then Sam comforting me until we gradually fell asleep… Sam understood why I left Ian because she knows about Alex…

We loaded into her car and I leaned my head on the window, physically and mentally drained from the events of the weekend! The drive to school went so quickly.. as if the world knows that I really don’t want to be at school or see Ian so has decided to speed everything up so I get to school sooner!

Sam switched off the engine and turned to me, “You ready?” she knew that it was a stupid question, but she asked it anyway!

“UGHHH! NO!” I moaned, pleading with Sam to take me back home, before anyone notices me! But instead she shot me a sympathetic look and got out the car and walked around to my side.

She opened the door, but I stayed seated. She exhaled sharply, unbuckling my seatbelt then grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the car. She wasn’t strong enough so I ended up falling on the floor!

“HAY!” I shouted angrily, but when I saw her lips curled at the sides and her eyes wrinkle at the side trying to contain the laughter… I couldn’t help but smile.

“Sorry…” She raised her hands into a defensive position and burst out into laughter! I love Sam, she always makes me feel so much better in the darkest times of my life!

Our laughter was halted when I saw something in the corner of my eye, Sam had parked next to all of the football team!! I turned my head and my eyes met Ian… He looked like shit!

He had gotten no sleep because of the bags under his eyes and the red around his eyes was like mine, from crying! I had made him cry, I had made a strong and powerful man break and cry! he was staring at me, hope and sadness in his eyes and he smiled weakly at me.

I wanted to smile back, I wanted to rewind time and wish that none of this ever happened.

But I can’t.. I had ruined it! I turned my head away from Ian before I broke out into tears and fall to the floor from the exhaustion,

“Come on Sam” I whispered. I started to walk away before I even got a answer from Sam who stood for a moment, looking from Me to Ian, giving Ian an apologetic look then running after me.

3rd period… the lesson I was dredging all day.. maths! I wasn’t up for sitting in the same room with Ian, let alone sitting next to him!!

I opened the door, all the class had arrived before me and as soon as I had took a step into the room all the gossiping and laughing had stopped… all eyes were now on me, including Ian’s!

…I guess mine and Ian’s break up had already made its way around school, but it didn’t surprise me because Ian is the most eligible bachelor there is so when the girls of our school hear he’s available again, they pounce on him like a cat on a mouse!

I made the dreaded walk to my desk, all eyes following every step I took and I felt sick with all the attention now on me… all the eyes burning a deep hole in the side of my head.. WHAT, haven’t they heard of a break up in California before!?!

I slipped into my seat, not even risking a small glance at Ian but I could feel his intense stair in the side of my head… please stop, please!

Mr Kay walked in and began his lesson, oblivious to the tension in the room, where as I couldn’t help but notice.. I began to fidget, I felt like I was a fish in a glass bowl and everyone was looking in on me, I felt uncomfortable!!

I suddenly stood, squeaking my chair legs against the hard floor, forcing every head to turn to me… what was I doing!! I tried to stop by body, but it was reacting on its own!

I picked up my bag and ran out the door, Mr Kay never said a word, instead he just stood there frozen... shocked.

“MIA STOP! PLEASE!!” Ian shouted behind me.. oh great, the last thing I needed!

Knowing I wasn’t going to stop, Ian picked up the pace until he was in front of me.

“Move!” I can’t do this now, not while the scars are still fresh on my heart!

I pushed past him and rushed out the school doors, down the field and into the car park… I needed to leave! I thought I could handle being around Ian, but when I see him, when I look into his loving hazel eyes… it brings back the feelings, the love I feel!

A hand circled my arm once more, twisting me to face him and into his hard chest. He hugged me tight, squeezing the life from me. I tried to push away, but his hold on me just got tighter and tighter!

“Ian.. please.. don’t!” I couldn’t hold it in any longer, being so close to Ian, in his warm and protective arms and yet I couldn’t hug him back.. hot tears began to stream down my cheeks and I began to weep into Ian’s chest.

“Oh baby, please don’t cry!” Ian kept his arms around me, but leaned back so he could see my face. He whipped a tear away with his thumb, keeping his hand on my cheek. “Why are you doing this.. its killing us both, I can see you don’t want this! Shhhh, please don’t cry, I love you!”

He really does love me! But he will never love me more than his money!

“no.. stop lying! You love your money and power more than you’ll ever love me! And if you want me to stop crying then.. let me go…” At my words his grasp weakened as shock took over his face, I took that chance to push away from him and run!

“I’m not lying and I’ll never let you go!” Ian shouted behind me.. he wasn’t going to give up easy and for a moment a smile replaced my tears.. I loved his determines and I love him! Chapter 17- Innocent

I turned into my road.. finally home at last!

No… my heart sank as I saw Ian’s car pulled up in front of my house. He was leaning against the side of the car, his arms crossed… sending butterflies to my stomach at how the man standing in front of me could be so god damn hot!

I coughed, taking myself away from my lustful thoughts and carried on walking to my house. I ignored Ian and walked to my front door.

“Come on Mia, please just talk to me!” He ran up to me, stopping only inches away.

“Ian, why do you keep doing this!! Just leave!” He took another step forward but I held up my hand, signalling for him to stop. I dug for my keys in my bag and turned to unlock my door but I was all fingers and thumbs… prolonging the process, ughh why!!! I heard Ian let out a quiet chuckle.. the sound of his deep voice so irresistible!

My cheeks began to heat, turning as red as a tomato.. stop! I can’t think about Ian like that, not at a time like this!

I finally opened my door and pushed it shut.. but it didn’t shut fully, Ian had stopped it!

“What are you doing?”

“Just let me explain… we need to talk!”

“I have nothing to say to you..”

“Then let me talk!” I tried to shut the door once more, but he pushed harder.. opening it wider, until it had completely swung open. His huge, sexy muscular body filled the frame and he leaned against the door frame, smiling wide in victory!

I threw my hands in the air and walked to my room! “Talk all you want.. I’ll be in my room!” I heard Ian shut and lock the front door and follow me to my room.

“Hay, that wasn’t an invitat…” I was stopped half way by Ian’s lips on mine! His hands snaked around my waist, pulling me closer to him. My lips began to move involuntary with his… damn hormones!!

His full lips were warm and tasted sweet like honey.. oh how I missed this! I lifted my hands to his head, fisting his hair to push him closer to me! I need him.. I needed more of him! He bit my bottom lip and I moaned, giving him full access to my mouth, as if he read my mind!

I played with his tongue, our mouths and body’s moving in sync with each other sending a shock wave through my body. This was definitely the best kiss we had shared… until he pulled away harshly.. no!!

We were breathing hard, trying to get our breaths back. He leaned down, brushing his lips against my ear,

“Do you have any idea what you do to me.. the power you have over me Mia Owens!” He said as he bit on my ear lobe.

At his words, the muscles deep in my stomach clenched with excitement. I closed my eyes, savouring his words and the feeling it gave me! He put his fingers under my chin, caressing it softly, pulling my gaze to his.. I was hypnotized by his hazel eyes that was staring into mine.. so full of love and lust!

He leaned down again and kissed me. Placing his firm and demanding lips on mine he lifted my legs around his waist and walking over to my bed.

He softly placed me on my bed, with his body looming over mine… our lips still connected!

He moved his kisses down my chin, my jaw and my neck while he started to lift my top up and over my head, throwing it to other side of the room followed by my bra. He knelt, one leg on either side of me, and gazed at me.. thank god I had decided to wear my matching black lace underwear!!
