Ending Silence

Chapter 29

Morgan's POV

"I'm not" I deny for the millionth time, but Diego just laughs.

"Just admit it already," He tells me, smiling as he picks at his food with his fork.

Never.

"I'm not dating him" I scowl. It's been three days, and they have not let me have an ounce of peace. I refuse to admit it. But they don't make it easy.

Marlow then comes and sits down beside Deigo. "Hey, Morgan. How's the boyfriend?"

I scowl again, before standing up. "Fuck both of you" I mutter, before walking away while they laugh. Instead of going back to my room, I head for Sage's office.

When I step inside, I see him working at his computer like usual.

"Sage, they're teasing me again" I groan, walking over to the desk. He glances at me, shooting me a small amused smile before looking back to his computer.

Although Sage has become the main person I complain about this problem to, we don't exactly share the same views. I say we deny it. Sage says there's no point denying it since they obviously know.

I say he's wrong.

"We need to come up with a plan" I decide, rubbing the palms of my hands together as I wait for my brilliant ideas to come to me.

I glance at Sage, seeing he's focused on his computer, and isn't coming up with genius ways to manipulate my friends.

I groan, walking over to him.

I climb onto his lap, straddling him as I cup his face in my hands.

"Help me" I mumble, and he rests his hands on my hips as he stares at me. I smile, glad to have gotten his attention.

"So here's what I'm thinking-"

He pulls me forward, my chest completely against his as he hugs me. I smile a bit, loving when he holds me.

"So my plan-"

My breath hitches when his lips brush against a sensitive part of my neck, before placing a gentle kiss.

"My plan-" I clear my throat, just as he begins to suck on my skin. "I need- me and you need to-" I groan when he suddenly nibbles at my skin.

I then push him away. "I can't concentrate when you do that" I mumble, feeling flustered while he watches me.

I take a deep breath, wiping a few stray hairs out of my face.

"Go on. Tell me your plan" Sage sighs, and I smile.

"We need to have them thinking you hate me" I begin, and he looks at me sceptically. "So we're going to need to stage a fight in front of them where you shove me into a wall," I tell him, and he scowls.

"Fuck no" He mutters. "There's a plan B," I tell him, and he nods. "You kiss another woman"

He scowls again.

"It's a good plan" I scoff. "Then they'll think you are dating someone else, and the problem is gone" I explain to him, but he looks pissed.

"I'm not-" He sits forward a bit, our faces moving closer together. "-nor am I ever kissing another woman" Sage tells me, eyes locked with mine.

"So that's a no on kissing another woman?" I clarify, and he nods.

"What about..just pretending. Like..you kiss her cheek and- okay, from the look you're giving, I'm guessing we throw the entire plan B out the window" I mumble, and he scoffs.
