THE LIES WE LOVE : IT'S THE OBSESSION

CHAPTER 9

AARON BLACKWOOD

I was sitting beside Rory in the car, waiting for Lana to arrive. I was nervous. But more excited than nervous. I hope she likes the gift.

We were waiting near a park. And finally I see her on a pink bicycle. Did she really come all the way through on a bicycle? Oh my God.

I quickly got out of the car as she also stopped. I could see the slight sweat on her forehead. "Are you okay?" Instead of answering she smiled and wrapped her arms around me.

We sat on a bench as I put her hair behind her ears. "Okay so I know you probably received hundreds of gifts by now and they are also pretty expensive. So I..." "and most of them are unnecessary."

I chucked and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"Close your eyes. Let me get your gift." Seconds later I came back with a gift as it was in the car. "Okay, open your eyes." She did and smiled at me. "Oh my God, thank you so much Aaron."

She started unfolding the packet.

It was a set of art supplies in her favourite medium which are watercolours, acrylics and pastels. Because she loves to draw.

And a handmade album of the songs that she loves to listen to when she draws. For a long moment she didn't say anything as she was staring at the gifts.

"Umm, I am sorry if you didn't like..." Before I could finish my sentence she literally threw herself on me.

"I love the gifts. I love them. I love you, Aaron." "I love you too, Lana." She pulled back. I touched her neck and slammed my lips onto hers

CALLUM LEVINE

"Do you fucking see her?" Noah's question echoed for the hundredth time in my airpods. We were in a group call as we all were searching for Lana. I swear if I get the fucker, I am going smash his head.

"Let's go to the parks. She probably will be at one of them." Giulia suggested as I made my way to the nearest park.

Nope.

There is another park right outside of the town.

As I made my way closer to the park, I could already see two figures sitting on a bench. Yea that is them.

"Found her. Aquaterra park." I told them the park name before hanging up.

That fucker had his mouth on Lana.

Oh boy, you are a goner.

Lana broke the kiss. Her eyes widened as she saw me. She quickly got up. "What the fuck are you doing here, Lana?" I asked as I made my way towards them.

"Leave me alone, Cal. I am with my boyfriend." I looked at the guy behind her. Tall but less than me. Muscular but not more than me.

"Is this loser your boyfriend?" "Who the fuck are you?" The guy asked me.

"Oh me? Lana's favourite cousin. She must have mentioned me. If not, then I am about to introduce myself personally."

I pushed my Lana aside before punching the guy across his face. Blood immediately dropped from his nose. I grabbed him by his collar and hit him with my head.

But he didn't back down. He took the opportunity and kicked me in the balls.

Ah fuck. Son of a bitch!

RORY BLACKWOOD

Holy shit. What the fuck am I supposed to do. I can't call Damon. He's probably asleep and I sneaked out of the house and on top of that I stole his car too.
