"Why are you acting all mean and rude? I'm just trying to be nice here" he snapped making me stop and turned to glare at him. "I never told you to be nice! Why don't you go back to your little world and forget that I exist like you used to do?" I sneered. "Why the sudden interest!" I yelled in frustration and walked away from him. The bad Boy was simply infuriating. I was stopped. I flew in his chest as he gripped on my wrist and pulled me to him. My back was pressed against his chest and I could feel him breathing next to my ear. "Once I aim for someone, I always get her" he whispered huskily.

I'm walking on the pavement, tapping my feet against the ground so that it will make a splash. It's raining, and being my usual self, I forgot my umbrella at home. I'm returning home from the gym, and the rain is cooling off my body perfectly. I enjoy the rain. I take a deep breath and look at the sky. Raindrops gently hit my face, making me relax. After some minutes, I start walking back home because I notice that the rain is about to stop, and I am drenched. I don't want to get sick, so I quicken my pace until my house is in view. I run to my door then turn my head slightly to the left to see some boxes on my neighbours' porch. They just moved in, and I haven't even seen them once except a little girl who I saw playing in the garden. They arrived yesterday, so maybe I will meet them some other time.
The house is empty. Yeah, I live alone.
Wait, you're probably asking yourself, 'Who's that chick?' Yeah, I just quoted Rihanna. Well, I'm Angel Harper, and I turned eighteen two weeks ago. I used to live with my grandmother, but as soon as I could, I decided to move out. My parents and my ten-year-old little brother died in a car crash when I was thirteen.
I put my bag on the table, then make my way to my bedroom. I love going to the gym because I see it as the best way to get rid of stress, anger, and frustration. Also, in the end, you are awarded little abs.
I take a denim short and a crop top, grab a towel and my underwear, then make my way to the bathroom. I open the shower before stepping under the warm water which soothes me as soon as it touches my skin. I look at my various body lotions, hair shampoos, and soaps in disbelief. My grandmother made sure that I have everything I need. She is really protective as I am the only family that she has after my aunt and my cousin. At first, she disagreed when I told her about staying on my own, but then after several arguments, she changed her mind. She bought a car for me so that it would be easier for me to travel to school.
After the shower, I walk into the kitchen with my towel wrapped around my hair as it is still wet. I'm alone, but it feels good to live here again. After five years, I'm staying in my old house again, except that this time, I'm alone: no parents, no sibling. I don't even know how I manage to wake up every morning knowing that I'm practically an orphan. I miss them every single day. As I walk to the kitchen, I stop in the living room, face a wall on which several photos are hanging. I sigh as I trace my mom's features. I'm exactly like her: long black hair, hazel eyes, pink lips, and a dimple on the left cheek. I see my reflection in the photograph and notice my watery eyes. I shake my head then take a deep breath: Something that I need to do every five minutes is to pull myself together and not break down.
I walk to the kitchen and open the refrigerator. My stomach growls loudly. It's seven in the evening, and I'm already really tired. I grab my bag of muffins then pull out a chocolate one. I lick my lips; the muffin looks so delicious with so many tiny chocolate sprinkles. My mouth waters, and I quickly bring it to my lips, but just as I'm about to bite, I hear the doorbell.
"Are you fucking serious?" I mumble under my breath and groan as I walk to the door lazily with my muffin in my hand. I prefer it in my mouth. I open the door, and as soon as I notice the children, my scowl disappears. Try to be polite! my mind yells at me. Well, I tend to be grumpy when I'm hungry. I smile and notice that it's the little girl I saw playing the other day.
"Hello, we're your new neighbours," the little girl says and offers her little hand in front of me. She looks so cute with her two ponytails and her blue baby eyes.
"Hello," I greet as I pinch her cheek softly.
"I'm Alex," the boy introduces himself and shakes my hand, "and she's Lily." I smile warmly at them. Alex seems quite young.
"Well, I'm Angel," I say and see that Lily is eyeing my muffin. I bend and take her in my arms. She is really light. She wraps her arms around my neck and giggles. "Want to eat a muffin?" I ask with a smile, and she nods. I hand her the muffin and watch as she eats it happily. "What's your age?" I ask Alex as I stare at the little girl.
"I'm fourteen," he says.
"And her?" I ask as I nod towards his sister.
"Six. And you?" he asks.
"Eighteen," I tell him. "Want to come in?" Alex looks around reluctantly then finally nods. What is he thinking? Oh yes. The stranger-danger thing. "I'm not going to kidnap you," I joke.
"Don't I get one?" Alex asks playfully as he motions to the muffin, completely ignoring the kidnapping part.
I smirk and shrug. "Only cute guys get muffins," I say then watch as he touches his heart as if he had just been stabbed.
"Ouch! You've hurt my feelings," he says and laughs. He has brown hair and grey eyes. He is definitely cute. I shake my head in amusement and open the door to let him in. As I carry Lily, he closes the door and follows me to the kitchen. I put Lily on the counter then walk to where I keep my delicious muffins and watch as Lily swings her legs while concentrating on her muffin, forgetting us completely. I hand over a muffin to Alex who is now sitting on a chair facing me. "You live alone?" he asks as he looks around the kitchen.
"Yes," I answer and observe as he eats the muffin. I take one myself and eat it before my stomach growls again. I moan when I taste the chocolate in my mouth.
"You know, you shouldn't moan like that in front of a guy," Alex says with a smirk, making me stop chewing to look at him.
"You're fourteen," I say when I finish swallowing the food.
"So what? Madonna has twice the age of her boyfriend."
I chuckle. "I'm not Madonna."
"No, you're not," he agreed. "You're hotter.
I burst out laughing. "Are you flirting with me?" I ask in disbelief.
"It depends," Alex says while chuckling. "Is it working?" He wiggles his eyebrows weirdly.
"No, it's not."
He pouts. "Then no, I'm not." This boy is simply incredible.
"Try it with someone of your age," I say, and he nods while laughing. The doorbell rings again. I look at it confusingly. Since when did I have so many visitors?
"Must be my parents or my brother," Alex mumbles, then stands up along with me.
"How can you be so sure?" I ask as I pick up Lily from the counter.
"Because they told me to come home quickly," he tells me and walks to the door. I nod while following him with Lily in my arms. Alex opens the door, but I don't see who it is as Lily is busy poking my nose.
"Alex, did you see the fucking time?" I hear a deep masculine voice ask. I feel shivers down my spine. Lily kisses my cheek as I put her on the floor to look at the newcomer. My eyes meet grey ones. In front of me stands a sexy god. He has messy brown hair and a sexy face. He is wearing a tight shirt which shows the contour of his abs. His eyes meet mine, and they raked my body shamelessly. His usual smirk is plastered on his face. The usual smirk he shows any girl to make them drool. I blink several times to keep myself from checking him out again. In front of me stands Ace Carter.
I mean the Ace Carter!
The bad boy of Evelyn High!
And he's my new neighbour!
***Ten Years later."Mommy!" I heard my little baby cried. Everytime she cried, my heart would race in fear that she'd hurt herself. I ran down the stairs and saw my little girl crying while wiping her tears away."Princess?" My steps slowed down as i observed Ace walk in the living room, with a panic expression on his face."Daddy" she cried as Ace dropped to his knees and took her little hands in his, pulling her on his lap. Butterflies formed in my stomach as i watched my husband with my daughter. Ace was still the same, except he has grown bigger and he worked out more often, which explains his big muscles. I watched as he rolled the sleeve of his suit up and slightly peck Victoria's head. Yes. We named our daughter Victoria.
"Oh Honey!" My grandmother exclaimed in happiness and wrapped me in a hug. I missed her so much. I hugged her back and walked in the house. Ace followed behind after he hugged my grand mother too. "How are you?" she asked both of us. Ace took my hand in his and lifted out interlinked fingers to show my granny that we were finally together."Great" Ace said with a Cheshire smile and I simply smiled at his smile."What happened to not dating him even through he was the last guy on this planet?" My grandmother asked teasingly and I rolled my eyes but a smile crept on my face."Yeah, what happened?" Ace asked, putting his hand on my waist and pulling me closer."I've been hit hard on the head" I retorted and he rolled his eyes.
I walked in the cafeteria with Ally and Rachel by my side. I told them what happened with Riley and Rachel concluded that he was a total asshole."Didn't you have a crush on him?" I asked Ally and she scrunched her face in disgust."Had!" she exclaimed and Rachel wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. I joined her and we started wiggling our eyes together making Ally freak out."Guys! Stop" she begged. "You look so weird doing that. You're like some pedophile seeing a new victim" She explained."Maybe you're our new victim babe" Rachel said and Ally and I simply chuckled. The boys said that they would meet us in the cafeteria and we sat on our usual table. "So, if Riley isn't your crush, then who's it?" she questioned. By the l
I am Ace Carter's girlfriend.That was the first thing that struck my head when I woke up this morning. A smile crept on my face and I got out of bed happily. Usually, I was not a morning person. After taking a bath, I decided to wear a denim jean short and a tank Top. I let my hair loose and wore my high tip tops. I had to look hot for my boyfriend. I put on a pink gloss and ran to the kitchen. Just as I opened my refrigerator to take out my chocolate milk, my phone buzzed next to me. I answered it without looking at the caller I D."Hello?" I answered and stuck the phone between my shoulder and my ear. I took out the milk box and some muffins."Good morning, princess" I heard his husky voice. I felt the sparks shoot in my stomach at his deep voice."Morning, boyfriend"
I turned with a smile on my face to see a dumbstruck Mrs Carter and a proud looking Rachel. Daniel whistled in amazement and I blushed a bit. Ace was looking at me with a frown and I stared at me in confusion."You've got an amazing voice" Mrs Carter complimented."You keep impressing me each time you sing" Rachel said and winked."Amazing" Daniel simply said an amazement."I want to kiss you again" Ace said making my jaw dropped open and Alex gasped while Rachel, Daniel and Mrs Carter burst out laughing. Ace said that so seriously that I was unable to say whether it was a joke or not."You kissed her?" Alex asked in surprise and I blushed at his
Daniel was gone to Ace's and Ally had to return home for her usual family dinner. Rachel was coming at Ace's house too as Mrs Carter has invited us for dinner. I borrowed her one of my dresses and watched as she was boiling with excitement. After I told her about the kiss, she was so happy for me that she couldn't stop squealing."Your babies will be so cute!" she gushed as she put on some lips stick. I rolled my eyes and tied my hair in a high ponytail. I stared at myself in the mirror and I smiled at the cute dress that I was wearing. I put on my black high heels and straightened the white dress."So what's up with you and Daniel?" I asked and that pink tint that appear on her face made me chuckle."He's cute and sweet with me" she replied, trying not to sound to love struck. "Even though I sometimes act rudely, he'd still be sweet" s
"Ace " I warned, lowering my voice to sound threatening but he only smirked and advanced in my direction like a predator. "Don't come near me" I said sternly and walked to the other side of my car. Rachel and Ally sat next to Daniel, looking at us in amusement."You threw water on me" he said slowly and I snickered."It was to turn off your cigarette" I said. Technically, I wasn't lying. He rolled his eyes and he shook his head at my words."And why would you do that?" he asked wearing his usual annoying but sexy smirk on his beautiful face."It's bad for health" I retorted childishly and he chuckled."Oh you care that much for me?" he questioned tauntingly a
"Are you okay?" Daniel asked for the sixth time. I stopped walking and turned to look at him. Okay, I glared at him."Ask me that question again and I swear to god, I'm going to hurt you" I snapped and instinctively he rose his arms in surrender and Rachel snickered."No need to get your panties in a twist" he muttered making me roll my eyes."Come on, let's go home" Ally said, trying to ease the atmosphere. I was really snappy after that meeting with the Queen Bitch."Where's Ted and Justin?" I asked and we all turned our heads to look around for them."Call them" Rachel sighed while rolling her eyes at Daniel. Daniel quickly did what he was told.
"What's the plan for today?" Justin asked as he plopped himself on the couch as if he owned the place. It was pretty boring as Ace wasn't here. He had to go and I don't know where he went. I knew that he was not going to tell thus I decided not to argue. Daniel, Ted and the girls walked in the living room. I shrugged and turned my attention to Rachel. "Care to explain why were you naked with Daniel on the bed?" I asked bluntly and watched as her eyes widened. "I was on the bed with him?" she asked in shock and turned to face Daniel who shrugged. "Yesterday I heard you walking to the bathroom and you fell down, You started vomiting so I took your clothes off and gave you my shirt" he explained and Rachel groaned in embarrassment. "And none of the girls could have undress me?"
