Forbidden Desire: Bad Boy's Captive

"You're taking too long Amelia, we are missing all the fun!"

Amelia heard the scream of her best friend, Charlotte down the stairs. Tonight was bonfire, it's been a month in college and the experience was amazing so far.

"I'll be down in a minute!" She exclaimed wondering if her friend could hear her. She made her lips into a thin line blending her red lipstick together then stood, taking one last look on her yellow short gown that barely reach her knee.

It was beautiful revealing her curvy shape.

"Amelia!"

Her head snapped towards the door, she grab her purse storming her way out. Charlotte anger was replaced by astonishment.

"What? Is my dress terrible?" Amelia asked nervously.

"No, no.. it's perfect. I'm just amazed on how beautiful you look" Charlotte stated, prompting a huge smile on Amelia's face.

Charlotte had been a friend of Amelia since highschool. Due to some certain reason, Charlotte went to college before Amelia.. so she was one year ahead.

They've been tight since childhood, getting into the same college as Charlotte, Amelia felt blessed.

On their way, Amelia's phone rang flashing her mother's name on her phone screen.

She battled inwardly wondering if she should pick up or not.. at the end she swipe green.

"Hey mom" Amelia answered.

"Hey sweetie, how are you doin?" Her mother, Vera asked.

"Fine. How is your job hunting going?" Amelia asked. When Amelia got admitted to the school, her mother's coffee shop unfortunately burnt down to the ground.

Luckily Amelia's could pay her school fees through her savings while her mother hunt for a new job.

"I found one honey!!" Her mother exclaimed over the phone and Amelia jumped from her seat.

"Really?!"

Charlotte gave her a questioning look.

"Oh my God mom that's great. What job?" She asked.

"I met an old friend of mine. Remember Mr. Carson.. we had a talk and I told him about my situation. He found me a job. Baby.. I'm now working in the most famous hotel in Manhattan" She said.

"That's awesome.. wait did you say Manhattan?" Amelia frowned.

"Yeah, around your school area sweetie"

"What!"

"Finding a new home, it's not going to be that easy so.. so we'll be staying at my friend's place temporarily"

"Uhmm.. mom I know we are struggling right now but, isn't that too forward. Your friend is a man" Amelia muttered.

"I understand but we don't have a choice but to stay at his place for a while, until I find a good place for us to settle. He has plenty of rooms and he's not that kind of person. I've known him long enough. Beside, his child was your friend when you both are little"

"Mom, are you sure about this?" Amelia asked. It feels weird hearing her mother deciding this.

"It's fine baby.. his place isn't far from your school and also from my work. It's just temporary, we won't take long. I've missed you already sweetie"

"I miss you too mom" Amelia ended the call and explained everything to Charlotte whose eyes flew open wide.

"That's crazy.. why can't she just let you stay at my place. My roommate is never home" Charlotte said.

"She just want to be around me" Amelia sighed. Ever since her father's death, her mother became over protective over her.

Somehow, she is getting fed up by this...

They got to their destination. Amelia saw many students around a burning fire. 'Cool' she thought but her friend drag her to the opposite direction.

"Isn't the bonfire that way?"

"Yeah, but this one is more fun" Charlotte said halting before a building.

"This is so cool.. look at that" Amelia gasped staring. It was so bright with many shades of light. Students walked around. The atmosphere was just fucking amazing.

"It's been long we've been in a party"

"Well, this might be kind of different. Let's go in. I have a lot to show you" Charlotte said dragging Amelia with her.

Getting in, Amelia finally understood what Charlotte meant a while ago.

The place was packed with tattooed students, smoking, drinking, indulging into kissing and touching each other. Some were dancing to the wild, loud music. Smoke and the smell of alcohol filled everywhere.

This isn't the type of party she had kept in mind.

There was a large swimming pool at the center of the place. She could see students having fun in it.

"These are my friends" Charlotte stated pulling her towards the group of people sitting around a table. Amelia swallowed at their appearance. They were way too far her league.

No wonder, Charlotte had a tattoo on her back.

"Guys, this is Amelia, my friend" Charlotte introduced and Amelia forced a smile.

"Hi" She waved at them.

"Wow" One of the guys, called Toby gasped, he doesn't have too much tattoos and he look handsome when a smile flashed across his face.

"She look so innocent and beautiful of course" He commented, his eyes flashing with interest.

"Nice dress" A girl called Brielle said smacking her gum lightly as she laid on the chest of guy who smiled a little.

Amelia sat in between Toby and Charlotte. She felt so nervous around these people.

"I'm Toby, nice to meet you Amelia" Toby said in a deep voice stretching his hand for a handshake. Amelia accepted it.

"Same here" She replied.

"What's your discipline?" He asked lightly and Amelia began to feel comfortable around him.

"Art" She replied and his mouth dropped in awe.

"Wow" Brielle smirked. "What a nerd"

Amelia found it a bit annoying but she ignored it.

"I'd like to see some of your work someday. I hope you don't mind" Toby smiled. His interest was visible.

"I'd love to show you my work" Amelia nodded.

"What's taking Logan so long?" Brielle asked, sitting up, her head turn to the swimming pool.

"Logan is here? I thought you said he wouldn't come" Charlotte said.

"He just happened to show up.. chill girl" Brielle rolled her eyes.

"Is everything alright?" Amelia asked in a whispered but Charlotte didn't answer instead her gaze was focused on the pool. Amelia traced her gaze...

There, a guy slowly emerge from the pool, sweeping his long wet black hair backwards. His hot, handsome face shoots out. Thick eyes brows, pointed nose, kissable pink lips. Water dripped down his muscular body filled with tattoos.

Amelia watch every of his steps. He went to clean his hair and wore his black top that has the word 'Fuck you' printed on it. He is the most handsome guy she had ever laid her eyes on.

She couldn't take her eyes off the piece of art. Everything about him screams perfection.

"Amelia" Charlotte's voice snapped her back to reality.

"Huh... W..what?"

"Don't even think of going close to Logan" She warned and Amelia frowned. "He is an asshole, a complete jerk that can only think of ruining every girls that comes his way"

'Wow' That's a lot about him. She nodded and spared Logan one last look, surprisingly he was also staring at her. Their gaze locked for moment but Amelia was quick enough to avert her gaze.

"C'mon Charlotte. Just because Logan broke your pretty heart doesn't mean you should talk bad about him. The last time I checked. He didn't force you" Brielle said and Charlotte sucked her breath in anger.

"Mind your fucking business, she's my friend" Charlotte snapped.

"Then if you're going to be like this, why introducing her to us?" Brielle asked.

"Brielle, stop" Toby said.

Amelia felt uncomfortable with the cold atmostphere but her breath halt when Logan appeared.. Gawd he's tall.

He sat beside Brielle throwing his arm around her. His dark gaze settled on Charlotte he heard everything.

"Let's go somewhere else" Charlotte took Amelia's and and left the table with her.

"Allow your friend to have some fun. You can't keep dragging her around" Logan spoke in a hoarse voice. The two girl looked at him.

"Don't even think about coming close to her. I'll kill you if you do jerk" Charlotte warned.

Logan stood swiftly to face her. "What the fuck did you just say to me?" He asked stepping close.

"Stay away from her" Amelia found her boldness and stood before Logan looking up at him. She barely reach his shoulder.

"I mean it" She warned coldly.
