SEX WITH MY BEST FRIEND'S FIANCÉ-Chapter 109

- HAZEL -

The urge to leave class isn’t there. I’m scared. I don’t know who took that picture and how much the person knows. The last thing I want is the whole dorm knowing my secret.

I sniff. My head is sunk in my arms which are folded over my table. I’m the only one in the hall. I’ve been the only one here for hours. My stomach growls with hunger but I’ve got no appetite.

Killian says he’ll kill the story, but how soon will that be? How sooner can the gossip dying be effective? I don’t want to be alone here in this classroom hall but the only one I want with me so bad can’t be with me because he’s involved in the scandal.

I sniff. I hate that I can’t see him. I hate that I can’t be with him here. I hate that I’m in the middle of getting exposed to the whole school and my best friend if she chooses to show up impromptu. I hate that I’m not alone yet feel alone.

“Hey,” the raspy, sultry voice of Carol slid in my ears. “Need a place to crash? I’m the right person for a hug.”

I raise my head up. She’s standing right in front of me. “That. . .,” I gulp, swallowing my saliva. “That would be nice.” I finally say. She holds her hand out to me.

I grab onto it and stand. She didn’t give me a hug and I appreciate that, I would’ve felt clogged up more than I already do if she did. I wipe my under eyes and cheeks with a lazy finger. Thank God I didn’t wear makeup today. I sigh, keeping my weary eyes fixed on her.

“I know just the right spot for a peaceful mind regaining.”

I take a deep breath, keeping my eyes closed as I soak in the freshness of the air. We’ve been here for roughly half an hour and I must say, peace and quiet sure aided my nerves. Plus the air. I had no idea there was a spot like this near campus. I plan to make this place my go to whenever I’m down or need an out away from people.

“Done catching your breath?” Carol asks. This is the first time she said something throughout the time we’ve spent here.

I turn my head to face her. “Yeah.” I breath. This is my first time speaking too. “I feel better, thank you.”

Having some quiet time gave me time to think. I may not be able to change the situation but I can manage it properly. I can also trust Killian. Everything will be fine. After all, crying won’t do much to aid my situation and who cares if some jack ass with no life posts my picture with my liver tonight? It sure will ease me of a lot of burden despite the consequences. I swallow.

“Knew that would do the trick!” Carol’s voice takes me off my thoughts.

I giggle. My voice is still quite hoarse from all the crying. “Hey, Carol,” I start.

“Mm?”

“You already know all or some of the gist, care to follow me somewhere? I can’t really be calm in school and the only place I can hang around peacefully is far away from school but kind of close. I think we can talk more freely there.” Killian gave me permission to invite anyone over. I think it’s quite reasonable that I bring her over.

We can talk. He’ll barely be home. And worst case scenario, he shows up and she sees him and there would just be accurate faces in the picture live to her. But I trust Carol, weirdly. She hasn’t done a thing to prove otherwise.

“I am quite skeptical.” She holds her phone out. “Where? I’ll put the post code here.”

I grin. I do understand why she would be skeptical. I just need a long break from school, maybe two or three days, to clear my head and be confident enough to face people regardless of what happens tonight and I don’t want those days to be with me alone in my own self induced exile especially since Killian is a professor and business man above many things. He surely won’t have time for me 24/7 and I’ve come in terms with that in this short half hour of letting myself breathe and think.

I desperately need to be away from my dorm and school territory. If the blogger does release our photos, I don’t want to be in school to face the book. I call out Killian’s zip code and she types it down on her phone. I notice a grin form on her face. It was immediately wiped with a gape and I wonder if I saw the grin in the first place or I imagined it. “Now that’s a good estate.” She murmurs, keeping her eyes peered at her phone.

Well, Killian being Killian, always with the best, location and property wise.

“So, what do you say?” I really hope it’s a yes. I would love the company.

“Sure. Anything to see this place.” I roll my eyes. “And for you of course.” Carol adds and winks at me. I smile. It’s settled then. She’s the one who’ll tag along with me.
