-I MISSED YOU-

Thorn's POV

Her scent lingers on my nose while I'm slowly approaching them. She didn't turned around, she just sit there like a stone but i could clearly see how tensed her body is. I purposely walked passed them giving her the chance to check me up while I'm smirking.

"Damn, I thought you won't gonna come back ever again." Bruce exclaimed while smirking at me. I chuckled.

"Why wouldn't I? Besides, I can't miss an event that's so special to one of my best friends." He chuckled, giving me a pat on my shoulder.

"Come, I want you to meet my sweetheart." He looked up at the girl on the stage. We walked up there slowly. She's beautiful but not as beautiful as the girl who haunts my every dream.

"Thorn, she's Sofia Gomez my fiance." She smiled at me handing out her hand as she bowed a bit. I shook her hands then smiled back at her. She looks nice. Bruce is a lucky man.

"I'm Thorn and nice meeting you gorgeous. Take care of my friend." She blushed then nodded her head slowly before saying 'I will don't worry'.

After the little introduction, we went down the stage as the party resumed. There she is, wearing a red colored dress with a heart shape neckline. She's sitting straight on her seat. Her eyes are roaming around but me and I felt irritated. She's acting like I'm an invisible man and I hated it.

"Guys," Bruce gave Kyle and Chase a bro hug and I did the same. I missed this guys but I missed the girl in front of me more that I couldn't control myself anymore, "You really surprised me there. By the way, Sofia I know you already know them but I'm gonna introduce them again to you."

"So guys, she's Sofia Gomez soon-to-be Mrs Sofia Williams and Sofia, they're my best friends.. Kyle, Chase and Francine. Thorns step sister." I really wanted to correct him but I just let it slide, this is their night and I can't ruin it by scolding them.

We all took our seat on the round table. I made sure that I'm facing Francine, she's still not looking at me I mean she's talking to them and laughing and seems like she's paying attention to the topic but she's not looking at me nor giving me just a single glance and I felt like my blood is boiling. I took the chance to examine her, from her big doll green eyes that still shines whenever she laughs or smiles. Her nose is still pointy and her lips, damn her lips it looks like it's more plump now and a bit more reddish than before it's as if it's inviting me to taste them using my own lips. My brow furrowed as my eyes fell on her hand, not just her hand but their hands. Fuck it! Grayson is holding her hand and she's just fucking allowing it.

"Guys, excuse us for now." I was too occupied until Bruce's voice rang in my ear. We all nodded at them as they went to one of his father's friends table. They invited them there to get to know his fiance.

"Are you okay babe?" That Grayshit muttered while squeezing Francine's hand. Fuck off fucker! She's hurting like damn, how can she let that man touch her anyways? And babe? Seriously?..shit.

"Yes I'm fine, don't worry babe." She gave him her sweetest smile as I almost puke when Grayshit pecked her lips in front of me. Just what the fuck!? I clenched my jaw while looking at the horrible nightmare in front of me. Babe? They're in a fucking relationship now? Well, one way to find out.

"Babe? Are you two in a relationship?" They both looked at me with surprised as I gained all the people's attention in our table. They eyed me questioningly but I didn't care. I'm too fucking furious right now to think about my surroundings but luckily, I'm still holding myself together. Don't fucking burst out Thorn. I reminded myself as I slowly calmed myself.

Instead of Francine, Grayson answered my question, "Yes, in fact we're already 3 years." So..she became his boyfriend when I went away? Dammit. It's fine, she'll be mine anyways.

I smirked not giving a fuck about that shits presence, instead I glued my stare at Francine who's looking down at her lap as if they're the most interesting things right now. "I see. But, it seems like your girlfriend is too ashamed to even admit that you're her boyfriend." Her shoulders shakes as she looked down even more. I grinned.

Looking at her, Grayson place a hand on her shoulder making her to look up, to look at me. Those eyes, those green eyes that haunts me everytime I closed my eyes are now staring at me as if it can see right through my soul which I wished that it can so that she would know how much I love her and what I'm feeling towards her isn't just a fucking infatuation.

"Yes Thorn, we are and I can't imagine a life without my love." Her words are like knives that cuts right through my heart, slowly making it sure that I would really feel the pain. My name was like a poison on her lips.

Clenching my fist on my thighs under the table, I plastered a fake smile as I looked at the both of them. "That's great, congratulations." Grayson said 'thanks' but Francine remained silent.

The tension in the air grew thicker but Kyle nudged my shoulder, earning my attention. I looked at him questioningly. "Hmm?"

"How's London bro?" He sipped on his glass of wine before returning his eyes to me. Chase looked at me too.

Thanks to them to be honest, or else Grayson must be already on the floor with blood on his face.

"London's good..tall buildings, great sceneries and nice views." My lips curved into a smirk as I looked at her again. She's looking at Grayson while smiling. Way to go on ignoring me kitten.

"Let me guess," Chase smirked evilly, "Are this nice views have a nice pair of asses and boobies." They laughed after that except the couples. Damn, why did I even said that they're couples. I didn't answer them because they already know the meaning of what I said and that they are right about it.

Her face flushed as she looks away from me when she caught me staring at her, I just love how she reacts at everything. Suddenly, she stood up as we all looked at her. I didn't know that her gown has a slit on the right revealing her creamy right leg. Her skin is like a porcelain and by the help of the light inside the house, it made it look like it's glowing. Now that's the greatest view of all.

"Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom." She bowed a bit excusing herself as she made her way towards her destination. I watched her back silently until she walked around the corner and disappeared.

By the time she disappeared, Kyle and Chase continued interviewing me. "When did you come home tho?" Chase asked.

"Yesterday." I replied shortly, taking a sip on my red wine when Grayson suddenly talk.

"Why did you come back? I'm pretty sure that you didn't come back just for this, am I right?" He's straightforward. I smirked at him almost mocking him, I didn't like the way he sputt his words at me.

"Why you asked?", I cleared my throat still wearing the smirk on my lips as I looked at him straight on the eyes. "Are you bothered by my presence? Hmm..do you have something in mind why I came back here?" My question caught him off guard as he didn't answered me quickly.

Before he could speak a word, I stood up fixing my suit as I excused myself at them. I left the table and march my way towards the direction of my prey.

÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

'Washroom' I read. I didn't bump on people on my way here so I'm lucky right now. I smiled at myself. She's inside, hopefully.

Twisting the knob open, I silently stepped inside locking the door behind me carefully not making any sound.

And then there she is, facing the mirror while reapplying her lipstick on her plump lips. She didn't noticed me. Looking around, I smirked to myself and silently thank God that she's alone here.

I approached her silently like a ninja so that I won't be caught while looking at her delicious back.

"Doll face..." I whispered on her ear huskily after placing my hands over her broad hips. She gasped and moved almost stumbling but I kept my hands on her hips making her stay still.

"W-what are you doing in here?" She looks at me on our reflection in the mirror as I looked back, catching her green eyes on mine.

Pressing my hands more on her hips, she let's out another gasp. "What do you think I'm doing here?" I questioned back as I started to place small butterfly kisses on her nape and her body shakes while goosebumps slowly appeared on the bare skin of her neck. She's affected.

"T-thorn..please.." she breathes as I smirked on her nape before whispering on her ear, "Please what? My princess." I licked her earlobe after that gaining a soft moan from her. I cursed under my breath. I'm already feeling hot. Actually, I'm already feeling hot the first time I landed my eyes on her this night.

Her body trembled under my touch as my hands slowly crept up just under her perky breast, I pulled her closer to me, crashing her back on my chest. I groaned from her warmth.

"P-please..stop.. Thorn." She begged with half hooded eyes. I leaned in more nuzzling my nose on her neck while giving her kisses simultaneously. "You're making me stop but your body isn't doing the same." I spoke making my lips move on her neck even more, she let out a soft moan once again. "Mhmm.." she moaned as a response.

"Fuck! I missed you so much baby girl." And with that I turned her around to face me before crashing my lips on her luscious ones. They're still soft and taste like cotton candy. I can't get enough of it, of her body, of her. She's mine, she belongs to me and no one have the right to take her away from me.

I'm gonna make sure that I will take her back in my arms, I swear from this very night, I'm gonna love her and do everything that I can to take what's mine back and that's her, no one else but her.
