Today started out like any other day.Mom and dad in their room screaming at each other like they wanted to bring the house crashing down.
To be honest I was getting tired of their charades.Even our neighbours were tired of compaining.
I seriously could not understand how one minute ,they would be arguing and looking like they could kill the other ,then the next,they would having gross make out sections in their room.
I mean,they thought I could not hear them but the walls in this house are paper thin.
I sighed and got out of bed.I made my way over to my washroom to begin my morning routine.No yoga today as I was already running late for school.
I normally was an early riser but I had not gone to bed early yesterday.In fact,I just slept this dawn.
Last night had been a blast.My boyfriend,Maxton who was also the schools basketball leader had hosted a party and I was in attendance.
I mean ,I had to.We were the power couple .I was the leader of the most popular and much coveted female only fraternity,Alpha Psi Alpha girls.
Call our relationship cliche or whatever but we loved each other and that's all that matters.
My parents did not even know I had sneaked out yesterday for the party.They do not let me stay on campus and I did not care much about that.
I loved my room at home and it was spacious.Besides ,I could not imagine sharing my space with anyone.
I finished with bathing and my skincare routine.I went downstairs to the kitchen.The screaming had died down . My mother was in the kitchen making toasts,her hair tied in a messy bun.
"Hi,mama",I said to her.
"Hey sweetie,have some toasts",she replied sliding me a plate with avocado toast over the kitchen island.She looked tired and had dark circles under her eyes.
"Are you okay?",I asked her worriedly.
"Yes,yes,darling,just tired",she replied with a small smile.
I went over to the refrigerator and poured my self a glass of cranberry juice,my all time favorite.
I sat down and had my breakfast on the kitchen island.
"How is classes coming along?",my mom asked.
"Great"
"Anything you need?"
"No,I am ok and I still have my card",I added with a small smile
"Okay honey".
"Is dad still around?",I asked as I got up to clear my plate.
"Yeah,yeah,do you want to go see him?"
"No,just kiss him for me,I have to head out now"
"Okay ,love you honey",my mom said and gave me a hug.
"Love you mama",I replied hugging her back.
I fetched my car keys and went out of the house.
My car was the love of my life.Well,I mean after Maxton.It was my high school graduation gift,a Porsche.I had graduated summa cum laude.Yeah,I was smart.
It was sprayed in cobalt blue same us the colour of my eyes.My favourite colour.
I turned the stereo on and drove to school.As I got to the Schools parking lot ,I saw my bestfriend Maya, waiting at my parking spot.
We always went in together.
"Hey girl", Maya said as I got down from my car.
"Hey girl",I said going over and putting my hands over her shoulders.
We made our way to the doors leading to our locker rooms as we picked our books for our first lesson.We then made our way to our student common room where I was to meet Maxton.
We always spent our mornings and lunch break together as Maxton normally had practice after school and sometimes I had meetings.
We entered into the students common room and spotted him at our usual spot together with his two best friends Jake and Ari.
And before you start questioning why he has a female bestfriend,it is because they both grew up together.Their parents were best friends.And Jake was Ari's boy friend.Moreover,Ari was a girls girl , through and through.
"Hey y'all",Maya and I said in unison as I sat by my Maxton and Maya sat by me.
"Hey",they all responded .
"Baby,you have no idea how much I missed you",Maxton said pulling me onto his laps.
"But we saw each other last night",I replied blushing and giggling.
"Yeah,but somehow, I still do", Maxton started peppering my face with kisses.
"Ughh,you both should get a room", Maya said with a gagged expression.
We both burst out laughing.Jake and Ari were not even listening.They were also in their own world.
Maya got up and said she promised to meet someone before class and left.Followed by Jake and Ari who also gave an excuse about going to the library before heading to class.
We all knew that was a white lie.They were going to find an empty classroom to make out.
At this point,it was also time for my class so Maxton walked the distance with me.
The rest of the day passed away in a blur as I slept through most of my lessons in class.I met up with Maxton and Maya for lunch .
After school closed ,I drove Maya home as her mom could not pick her up.
I then made my way home but not before passing by my favourite cafe for cappuccino.
I loved loved my cappuccino.You could poison me with it .
After getting it,I decided to stall before going home as I did not want to see my parents at that moment.I did not think I could handle another round of their crazy fights.
I made my way to I and Maxton 's secret place.He was having practice today and Maya was babysitting her little brother.
So yeah, I was pretty much alone and lonely.My parents were rich and gave me any material thing I desired.But oddly enough,they could not give me the one thing I really wanted.
A stable home.
I sat there and took in the ambience of the place.It was a little clearing in the forest reserve that had a pond by it.
I sat by it and drank my cappuccino musing about life and daydreaming about a peaceful home.
I finished my cappuccino and saw that it was getting dark.
I got up from the ground and dusted my skirt.I then made my way to my car and started driving home.
As I entered the gates of our mansion,I could not believe what my eyes were seeing .
Anaiah's pov.The low hum of the ceiling fans above was the only noise in the lab as I put my bag onto the counter.Hayes and I had agreed to meet up and redo our lab trials as we were the only ones who had gotten it wrong during class.Now was the ideal time as during the day,we both had classes and the lab was in constant use by students.It was quiet now as everyone had left hours ago-leaving the lab empty and quiet except for us and our palpitating hearts due to all the tension that was sizzling between us.A type of tension that caused my skin to tingle and burn in a familiar way that only happened whenever Hayes was near.I had my eyes glued to my notes , trying to focus on the complex equations before me ,which I could have solved easily -had it not been this same tragically handsome guy sitting in front of me-distracting me.He was casually leaning against the counter,right beside me.Eyes pinning me in place ,rendering me hot and bothered ,with scattered thoughts.I chided my
Anaiah's pov. Sleeping has been hell.Every time I closed my eyes,I saw Hayes. The look in his eyes,the heat between us and the words he said before walking away.They were all too vivid. "That enough to convince you?",his voice kept replaying in my head like a broken record.Like a clue who's meaning I could not decipher ,no matter how hard I tried.And it was beginning to piss me off. Was I convinced? Convinced of what?That he cared?That he could flip my emotions like a switch ?That he had control?Or that he didn't care at all? And when sleep finally came,he was in all my dreams.I was surrounded with holograms of him that kept repeating that bloody line,"that enough to convince you?". It was driving me crazy and I knew I had to get my answers from him . Otherwise I would know no peace. Which explains why I woke up early and was the first person in the lab today.Before my alarm even rang. I sat in our usual spot , watching the door diligently for him as students trickled in ind
Hayes's pov. I hadn't planned to see her,heck,did not even think she would be there. When Jasper had burst into my garage and dragged me to this party,I had every intention of drinking, having fun, flirting with a couple of girls,maybe get laid to forget this bloody week. More specifically,a certain dark haired lab partner who has crawled right into my brain, refusing to get out no matter what I do. And judging from the way certain parts of me become wayward when I am in her presence,I knew I had to get her out and get her out fast. And no one knows better than me that the best way to get a woman off your mind was to get another under you.So that is exactly what I was going to do. I did want Anaiah but I wanted to be in control as well.I have always been in control.Every girl who has been with me knows this .It was once and that was all. No excess drama and certainly ,no feelings condoned. Yet somehow,with Anaiah,I had this warped thought that I wanted more with her.Mo
Anaiah's pov.The night air was very chilly as I stood outside waiting for Micah to pick me up.I pulled my oversized black jacket tighter around me in a bid to block out the cold.I had on a blue sheer mesh bodysuit on a high waisted black mini skirt .For footwear ,I had on my favorite knee-high black boots .Silver hoops earrings and I had layered on a lot of necklaces to give my vibe a subtle edge.With crossbody cute bag.Dressing up for this party had reminded me of old times when I used to dress up for parties.I realized that I had missed it actually.Micah's car rolled to a stop in front of me.Loud music blared from the car as he lowered the windows,peering out at me.I opened the door and got inside after he clicked the locks open."Now this is what I call ready to party.You look gorgeous",he said with an admiring grin ."Thank you.I can see you are already warming up yourself",I said gesturing to the stereo."Yeah,yeah, I like to ...you know...get in the mood of things before.
Anaiah's pov.I rolled into the parking lot of Coffee and Bagels,a charming little cafe in Helway.I got out after picking up my bag and pressing the lock on my car keys.I made my way inside the doors of the cafe, immediately spotting my date .He was sitting at the booth by the floor to ceiling glass windows that overlooked the sidewalk.I broke into a smile as I made my way over to himI slid into the booth across from him as he turned to look at me.I inhaled the scent of the cafe, relishing it.It smelled like...a normal cafe.Roasted coffee beans,sugar and freshly baked pastries.The ambience of the cafe was also calm and comforting,filled with the sound of clinking cups and saucers and the low hum of conversations."You are here.Let me just say ,you look gorgeous as always", Micah said with a welcoming smileHe had asked me to this coffee date and had offered to pick me up but I had declined.I did not want my mom and granny getting the wrong idea.Those two were dramatic and quick
Anaiah's pov."I am so sorry",I said apologizing to a lady I had almost bumped into on my way to the library.I had received a text from Hayes yesterday reminding me of our meet up in the library after school to get a little work done on our project.He had sent another reminder this morning too.He had stayed true to his word, texting me only for school meetups to work on projects.And I can't believe I am saying this but I found myself wishing he texted me on a personal level as well.We had agreed to meet up at 4'oclock pm and it was 4:15 now .I was late.Yay!I made my way up the stairs that led to the huge double glass doors of the library.I paused for a minute,staring at my reflection.No stray hairs ,clothes perfect,just a little flushed from walking briskly.I was not checking my appearance for him.I just wanted to look presentable.I took in a deep breath and opened the doors.I stepped inside and was greeted with a gust of cool air from the air conditioners.The inside of the li
