"Put your heels on the headboard." Hardin instructs, grabbing by my calves and pulling up my legs and spreading them wide in front of his naked crotch, then he puts my heel behind him on the edge of my tall headboard.
The height of my headboard keep...
It's been a year. One whole year I spend without talking to him. Okay I lied, I've talked to him not as frequently but yes I did. Like barely once in a month.
He'd just asked me about how is my work is going and also my college. The NYU accepted me, so that is that. And about Landon too, dating Nora, not just dating.
Last week, when we all were celebrating their tenth-month anniversary, me, Nora-Landon obviously, Robert and Kelsey, the witty server friend of ours from work, in this apartment, Landon proposed Nora.
He proposed her, would you believe it, of course she said yes and move in with him in a day into this small apartment. I'm happy for them, they suffered things ten months ago before they started dating and pass through that and now they're happily engaged.
I had a conversation, many conversations may I add, about me moving somewhere else for giving the couple privacy, but they both shut me up even before the conversation take place.
As they know I didn't, don't have place to live in this city by my own, which is so true and they don't have any problem with me living with them, which I know. And also I love their company.
Hardin and me didn't have any talks related to the book. Or would say he didn't bring this topic up, to not to make me feel uncomfortable or anything like that, I suppose. So the most evident thought would be he is not going to publish this book, right?
No, apparently not. That would be a waste of his time and efforts he spent all the months writing this beautiful masterpiece.
And here I'm sitting on my bed with his soon to be publish book on my lap. It doesn't say when it's gonna launch it on the side note, handwritten, his writing, note saying-
To my love, "True love stories never have endings." -H
I know why he wrote this, cause I have mentioned this to Landon that, it's like I can feel the things are ending between us. Landon obviously told Hardin and here we are with this quote saying otherwise.
I got this parcel this morning, since then my hands are shaking as I held the book.

...
A knock on my bedroom door wake me up from my three hours sleep after I finished reading After.
Getting up from my bed, I open the door and seeing Landon, anxious Landon. "Are you okay? You didn't came out from your room yesterday so I'm a little bit worried." I nod. "Are you sure?"
