ELIANA

The vibration of my phone brings me back to the present from the conversation. I check it, creasing my eyebrows when I read the lit up message on the dark screen.

“Car. Now. We promised aunty Vicky not to stay out till late.” The message reads.

“Asshole,” that's how I saved his number because he really is. Just like right now, he's being one.

My grip tightens on the phone more than it's supposed to,then slowly, I raise my head, my eyes searching around and I finally find him, at the far

  • A Deal With My Hockey Captain Stepbrother    Chapter 045

    ELIANA The crowd roars in cheers, stomping their feets and the whistle goes off, marking the end of the game. I release a breath which I had no idea I have been holding, my lips curling into a big smile. Kay's teammates rush to him, hugging him tightly for saving the day, defeating the rivals with two points since he earned his team three points.He looks in my direction over the shoulders of his teammates, a warm smile on his face and can't help but smile back, happy for him…____________“I didn't know another sport apart from hockey could be this fun,” Zoe compliments as we walk out of the court, heading to the parking lot.The sarcasm in her voice is evident and for some reason, I feel guilty since she has been accompanying me to hockey games when Nathan and I were dating and…Jackson’s recent game.“Yeah, it's amazing.” I agree awkwardly since I’m not used to other sports. However, I agree with her. Even if I

  • A Deal With My Hockey Captain Stepbrother    Chapter 044

    ELIANA The crowd breaks into cheers as Kay scores three points for his team. Since he's the captain, he’s the backbone of his team, like the coach because he's the one who guides his team and encourages his teammates whenever they panic when they miss the ball…He turns to look at me for a fleeting second after scoring with a big smile on his face and can't help but smile back at him. I want him to know that I’m here to support him. He’s wearing the red jersey and he looks sweaty from the heavy movement. Even though I don't know that much about basketball, I can tell that he's one of the best in the game because of his smooth movements, how he grabs the ball in the air when his teammates throw his way, how he makes sharp turns to dodge his rivals, how easily he throws the ball into the hoop from steps away like he has done a million times.My mind jolts back to the present when someone softly shoves me from the left and I tur

  • A Deal With My Hockey Captain Stepbrother    Chapter 043

    ELIANA I blow a breath when my car finally pulls into the school's lot, parking at my usual spot, then turns off the engine, grabs my backpack from the front passenger seat and alights. I take a moment when I step out of the car, darting my eyes around to take in the surroundings. There's nothing new, just students driving in, some making out in the car while others are in small groups gossiping. My eyes spot Zoe standing by a black SUV talking to Marco, her brother's best friend. She notices me from a distance and flashes me a smile and I smile back. Marco notices Zoe's actions and he looks my way. I give him a nod, a silent greeting and he nods back. He's a man of few words, we don't talk that much unless it's something important. Like him inquiring about Zoe in case her phone died and he can't reach her and Nikolai, Zoe's brother left her under his guidance. I don't linger around, knowing too well that Zoe would catch up with me when she's done talking to Marco. It's busy in t

    ELIANA A groan escapes my lips when the alarm's annoying siren sound cuts through the air. I reach for the clock across the side bed table and shut it down with a little too much force than necessary. Blowing a breath, I cast away the blankets, reluctantly get off the bed, grab a clean towel then head straight to the bathroom to freshen up. I close my eyes as the warm water rains down on me like an embrace, and allows my mind to wander for a moment. The events of the weekend come crashing in my mind and my lips curl for the most part of the events except…the Scarlett part, which I don't allow her to get on my nerves. However, I don't remember everything. My memories cut off at the car ride back home. I don't know what happened there after but…my mother informed me that Jackson drove us back home safely, carried me from his car to my room and tucked me in my bed. I recall the confusion when I woke up Sunday morning,wondering how the hell I got to my room since I couldn't reme

    ELIANA It's weirdly quiet inside the car, the only sound that can be heard is the soft hum of the engine and the tension between us, thick with unspoken words.Jackson's hands are glued on the steering wheel with a little too much effort than necessary, his knuckles white. His eyes have been focused on the road for most of the time, the jaw slightly tighter than normal.I have been looking through the window for the few minutes that Jackson has been driving, my mind wondering as I watch the trees and street lights blur by. Sensing my eyes on him, he looks through the rearview mirror and our eyes lock.It's hard to read his face because it doesn't give away that much. However, I see a flicker of something cross his eyes but it's gone before I make out what it is.“I can help drive…” I say with a shrug, starting a conversation so it doesn't feel that awkward. He momentarily turns to look my way before turning his eyes on the road.

Like he wasn't having fun just a second ago.He looks back at me for a minute way too long, his expression unreadable then turns around and walks to his red sports car. I grit my teeth. Why does he have to be the one to call shots? I didn't interrupt while he was having his fun. Now that I have finally let loose, he’s telling me it's time to go. I want to write him a message and tell him that he has no right to decide for me. However, the last part of

    JACKSON " While your weak side is left, his weak side is right.” Her words are still loud in my head. I stare at the door for a while even though she has walked out of my room, the faint smell of her perfume still lingering in the air. I wasn't expecting her to give me such important informati

    JACKSON It has already been three damn days without skating on the ice. Even though I don't want to admit it out loud, it feels like forever. I have been dry practising every single day after school back at home using the tiny information that Eliana gave me. I have been trying my best to perfect
