When love gets you higher than any form of drug, how do you escape?
After moving from England to America with her parents, Fae Jackson was determined to do well in college. She prided herself in her knowledge of psychology, especially when it came t...
My heart was pounding as I stared down at my phone in my lap. I wanted to ignore Anna's message and enjoy my time with Maddox but she clearly knows something that I don't. I held down the button on my phone, powering it off before burying it in my bag. Out of sight, out of mind as they say.
Maddox flicked on the TV before laying down on the bed. He patted the sheet beside him, beckoning for me to sit down. I followed his command and leant back against the headboard. My heart was still racing from Anna's message, I had to at least talk to him about our relationship status before it sends me mad.
"Can we talk?" I blurted out quickly, shifting my body to face him. Maddox kept his eyes on the TV but nodded in response.
"Well, I just think that we should talk abou-" I stopped as I noticed his attention still hadn't moved.
"Can you look at me when I'm talking to you?" I demanded. His head turned swiftly, catching my eyes in a sharp glare before softening his look.
"Thank you, I just feel that before 'this' goes any further, " I continued, waving my hand between us.
"We should establish what 'this' really is, " I gazed softly at him, hoping that he would understand. His expression gave away nothing, it was like he had completely shut me out. That was until his eyes turned hungry and his hand began to trail up my thigh.
"Why can't you just live in the moment?" He mumbled as he attached his lips to my neck. Placing soft rows of kisses leading down to my exposed collar bone. The warmth in my chest was growing as his kisses became stronger. As much as I wanted this all to continue I had to know whether this was just a fling to him or if it's something serious.
"Stop, " I warned sharply as I pushed him away by his shoulders. He didn't budge much but it was enough for me to slide out from beneath him.
"What is it with you? Do you hate affection or something?" He asked stepping up off the bed.
"Every time I've made a pass at you, you've pushed me away, " His voice boomed through the room as he stepped closer to me.
"I know you find me attractive Fae, " He whispered in my ear, cupping my cheek with his hand.
"Of course I do, it's just I don't want to be another of your-" I was cut off by Maddox's thumb running across my bottom lip.
"I know you want me, " He pulled away with an egotistical smirk appearing on his lips. He was right, I did want him but I can't fall any deeper into this mess without knowing what the outcome will be.
"What is 'this' then?" I pressured needing an answer sooner rather than later to settle my mind.
"I don't know, " He announced with a shrug, shoving his hands in the pockets of his jeans.
