LILA
Maddox had been… quiet. Which was unusual. His
cocky, arrogant attitude had been replaced with
a brooding, silent Maddox. He looked like he
was lost in his thoughts, and it had been three days since
we returned to school from our visit to my grandparents’.
We were back to our regular schedule and classes, but the
Maddox, who returned with me, was not the same who left
for the long weekend a week ago.
“I’ve never seen you stare at a business textbook so
hard,” I said, placing my elbows on the table and leaning
forward. We were sitting in a quiet corner in the library,
and it was one of our late-night studying sessions. But I’d
bet he wasn’t even focusing on the text he was supposed to
be reading. His eyes barely moved across the paragraphs,
and he was still on the same page for the last thirty
minutes.
I could be overthinking again, but…
Something wasn’t right. Something was up with him.
I had been watching him carefully for the past three
days, waiting to catch a glimpse of my Maddox behind the
silent mask he now wore. He touched me, kissed and
fucked me… but something was different.
