“Ah, you’re finally home, dear!” Georgiana happily said it, putting the magazine aside as she got up from the white sofa.She was a very elegant woman, tall, slender. Her very blond hair was almost always tied in an elegant bun at the back of her head. The impeccable make-up, the clothes always feminine tailoring. High shoes with square heels. She was the epitome of the well-educated and completely traditional rich woman.“I went out with Lucy, Mom.” Damon said and Georgiana smiled.“Oh, that's great! And how are things going between you and her? She is such a good girl!” Georgiana adored Lucy, and although the Fairfax were not as wealthy as the Montgomerys, Georgiana felt that the young woman was ideal: pretty, educated, intelligent, and studious. She didn't pick fights, she knew her place. And, of course, Damon was in love, now.“Things are going well.” Damon said and sat down on the couch, followed by his mother. The maid approached and Georgiana asked for refreshments to be served
“So, how was the fair?” Chung-hee asked Brandon as they drank water after training.“To be honest, it was crap. Kayle showed up and created a scandal.”After Brandon told him what Kayle had done and said, Chung-hee stared at Brandon.“And does anything he said about you and the girl…?”"No!" Brandon defended himself. "She... She tricked me, played with my feelings in a very dirty way, so I would never touch her, romantically. Even if I wasn't in love with someone else. I still have an ounce of dignity and self-respect.”Chung-hee nodded in agreement."Great. I'm glad to hear that. But…why would that boy accuse you?”Brandon thought for a few seconds and shrugged. He'd thought about it and all he could think about was that Erika was the one who told Kayle that."I don't know. Maybe she told him something.”“But why would she do that? She didn't seem to want to be attached to you.""I have no idea.""Why don't you ask her?" Chung-hee suggested and Brandon felt himself in a dilemma: shou
Ellie was bored and had no one to talk to. Gregory was on a date with a girl and Ellie wanted to go out. She thought about buying some books, but as she was new to town, she didn't know anyone. Except for Brandon.The day before, she'd lied about liking someone. Well, if you consider that the guy was a famous actor… then it was a lie, right? Because that would never happen.So she asked Gregory to give her Brandon's number, as they hadn't exchanged numbers the day before.At the mall, Ellie was waiting for Brandon to arrive when a guy approached her."Hello!" He said, very cheerfully and Ellie looked up, meeting a tall man with blue eyes so dark you had to look closely to see that they were blue. His dark hair and tanned skin made him look very handsome in Ellie's eyes. She swallowed hard.“Oh, hi! What can I help you with?" she asked sympathetically, trying not to sound like an idiot.“Can I sit here?” he asked, flashing a beautiful smile."Hmm, I'm expecting a person, but of course.
Brandon was looking forward to the day being over soon. He would go to college, then to work, and this was Lucy's first day at her job.He wanted to buy chocolates or something nice to celebrate that day. But he couldn't risk anyone knowing about their relationship. He laughed to himself. 'But what relationship, man?' he asked himself bitterly.Lucy hadn't texted him after what had happened at the fair and he didn't want to believe that she might be thinking he had, indeed, gotten another woman pregnant.At the end of class, Brandon watched Lucy get into Damon's car. Her fiancé would probably take her to work. Brandon sighed and walked to the bus stop. Before entering the gym, he passed the store where Lucy was supposed to work and saw her talking to an older man with a pin from the store.'Must be the manager,' he thought. Good, but Lucy was there. She didn't look toward the window once, and Brandon couldn't stay there any longer. In addition to looking like a pervert watching people
Brandon and Ellie look at Gregory without understanding."What is happening? What do you mean, Gregory? We are talking.” Ellie responded"Ellie, aren't you ashamed?" He asked. “You… you're… offering yourself like that!”Ellie got up from her chair with a menacing face and started walking towards Gregory. Brandon didn't know she had such a dark side. Gregory swallowed and Brandon realized it.“Ashamed of what, Gregory? Brandon and I are just talking. We're friends. However, it would be none of your business if we were doing something else!”"I know, I know.” He put his hand in front of his face. “Sorry, little sister.”“Get out, Greg!” He nodded in agreement and walked away. Ellie turned to Brandon, who was looking at her with his eyebrows high."You're tough." He said.She rolled her eyes.“Gregory is the slacker!” She sat back down. “And Brandon, this girl is interested in you. I won't be asking for details, because it's none of my business, but if you need anything, just talk to me
The week that passed was very stressful for Lucy. Damon didn't get off her feet, asking for kisses and always trying to go further. He stopped when she asked, he didn't use violence and he didn't sulk when she was bothered. He smiled, said he loved her and that was it.Deep down, Lucy wanted him to behave really badly so she would have a plausible excuse to ask him to get away from her for good. But not! He was loving, increasingly cute. And, in a way, she felt guilty. The man was being what a good boyfriend should be, but she didn't like him and kept imagining it was Brandon she kissed, every time.'I'm so stupid!', she scolded herself, when they were inside the car and Damon nibbled on her neck, drawing a sigh from Lucy. Because she imagined it was Brandon who was touching her, she ended up sighing and moaning. Damon, of course, thought Lucy was reacting because she liked him.She avoided talking, after all, the worst would be for her to call another man's name, while Damon kissed a
The week started wonderfully well, from an academic point of view. Exams week.The world of all students was chaotic, especially for those who left to study at the last minute.Brandon was one of the few who were more than calm, after all, as much as he worked and trained, he studied every day.He and Lucy texted each other since their last meeting, and as the days passed and the weeks went by, he and she grew closer.Damon was still suffering from the 'punishment' imposed by Lucy's father, but he took every opportunity he had to be with her.Rindley visited Ellie whenever she went to the gym and he heard about it. How did he know? She and he spoke daily.Brandon didn't like Ellie, a person he was very fond of, being involved with Rindley at all. However, apparently Rindley was so focused on her that he stopped worrying and upsetting Lucy and him.In reality, Rindley didn't realize that he was actually getting involved with Ellie much more than he had planned.One fine morning, his mo
That day there would be no training as Chung-hee had traveled to Korea. Brandon finished cleaning up and he and Lucy left together. They walked to the back street and ordered a cab.Lucy was beyond nervous. But she wanted it. She really wanted to be with Brandon. Because if Damon continued to insist, she would be angry about it and she wanted to at least know that she gave her first time to the man she loved who loved her back.Brandon was sweating cold. It was super cold outside where it had started to snow, but Brandon was sweating.They got out of the taxi and entered his building. He was so nervous, he couldn't even put the key in the lock.Once inside the apartment, he showed her where everything was, including the bathroom. He'd showered in the locker room, but even so, he was afraid he wasn't clean enough. Lucy asked to take a shower. She also showered before leaving the house, but…Images of what had happened to him when Erika had asked to go to the bathroom and then the hotel
