“No?”

“It’s me isn’t it, we don’t like each other. It doesn’t matter how much we try… the hate just runs too deep in our blood.”

That gains a roll of the eyes.

“I’m sure in time you’ll fix it.”

I hum in response because what am I meant to say?

I took her virginity last night and fuck, it was everything. To say I have fantasized about that moment for years would be an understatement. Every girl I fucked after meeting Hallie, I always pictured her.

It was everything and more.

And the fact I am the only one that has had her?

Makes me even more feral for her.

“Can you promise to stay out of her way?” my mum’s palms are pressed against the counter, head dipped and brow raised.

I nod, crossing my heart with my finger.

“Thank you,” she smiles just as Peter walks up behind her, wraps his arms around her waist and kisses her on the cheek.

Always hoped for that kind of happiness one day.

I just don’t think it’s ever coming.

“We’re heading out in an hour or so, her interview is at eleven so if you want to come with…”

“I’ve got to run to the station anyway,” I lie.

My mum nods.

“Okay sweetie, well if you want to meet up later then let me know,” and I nod, sipping my coffee.

Truth was, I didn’t have to be here. I have an apartment in the heart and soul of the city, but after seeing Hallie at the weekend, well… I knew I needed to comehome.

I busied myself outside for fifteen and then snuck back inside. Looking around the doorframe of the office, I saw Hallie sitting, talking away and looking as beautiful as ever.

Tight white shirt, slightly unbuttoned and a black mini skirt that was begging to be lifted.

I know I shouldn’t.

But what I should and shouldn’t do is no longer an option.

Walking into the office, her eyes lift from her computer mid-sentence and widen.

I smile.

“Yes, sorry, what was the question again?” she asks, cheeks pinching pink and I chuckle.

The man drones on about something to do with animals but I’m not listening.

I am too focused on what’s under the desk.

Bending down, her leg flings out as she tries to kick me but she misses. My large hand wraps around her delicate ankle as I hold it still. She tries with the other but I do the same.

And now she is at my mercy.
