ARABELLA. His other hand is moving to my waist, bringing my entire body to him and I grip the back of his head, pressing his face closer to my neck as sparks of pleasure fly through me. Alexander pulls back, his eyes roaming mine for a second and then his mouth is back on mine. He sinks his teeth into my bottom lip and I whimper, giving him access as he slides his tongue in, tangling against mine in a battle to give and take, in which he's doing an incredible job. I feel high and it feels like my head is in the clouds each time our lips drift apart then come together. His lips are hot and wet against mine, it has an exciting rush whisking through me, and something so wrong has never felt so right until this moment with this boy. "Oh, sorry. I didn't think– " He's quick to break away at the sound of the voice and his hand shifts to the back of my head, using it to press my face to his chest, shielding me from the gaze of whoever is at the door as he responds. "Do you need someth
ARABELLA. "You're ready? " Ashley asks as I stride into the living room and I hum, moving around the couch to give Winnie a peck with a pull of her cheek, to which she smiles before I straighten up. "I don't hear Dex's car. " Ashley says when our eyes meet and I nod. "He isn't here to pick me up. " "Why? Is he alright?" She questions and I move away from her view. "He should be. " Ashley turns her head to me, the all too familiar questioning look on her face. "Do you want to explain?" "We're sort of not speaking at the moment. " I tell her and she lifts her brows, "And what's the reason for that? Best friend's fight?" "We had a disagreement over my choices. " I explain and she smiles. "That sounds like something that always happens. " "He wants me to stay away. " I reveal and she leans over the couch. "And are you going to do that?" "I don't want to, but what alternatives do I have if he doesn't want to speak to me? " I raise my shoulder and Ashley holds out her hands to me.
DEX. I'm walking down the school compound when I see her and I don't fail to recognise the wavy hair that I've got loads of pictures of on my phone. She's sitting on the bench with her legs pulled out before her and her headphones over her head, slowly nodding along to the beat of whatever she's listening to while rocking her legs gently and a smile pulls to my lips at her cuteness. I slip my hands into my pockets and make my way toward her. She doesn't take notice of me when I reach her side, but the minute I start to settle on the seat next to her, she lifts her head, her wide eyes meeting mine and for the thousandth time that I've seen those blue eyes, they manage to knock me out of my breath just like every other time. When she starts to pull away, I open my mouth. "No, don't. Please don't. " She doesn't say a word, only stares at me with those big eyes and I continue. "You don't have to leave, please. Take your seat. I won't disturb you, I promise. " She seems to think abou
ARABELLA. I stare at the words, each second that the three dots on the screen appears and disappears sending a vibration through me and finally his text comes in. ALEX: I will. For now, Goodnight Arabella. A smile creeps to my lips at the wish at the end, and I turn the screen of my phone to the desk as I press the side of my head to it, my hand hovering over my mouth to hold back the sound that threatens to break through. I turn my head to the other side and shut my eyes, different scenarios running through my mind at once and each ends with the same thing– anticipation. Moving my head from the desk, I stare down at the space between my thighs and his voice echoes in my head. Your curious little fingers trying to find where exactly to give yourself pleasure. "You're screwed. " I murmur to myself as I take my hand to the front of my shorts to feel my wetness. Groaning at the touch, I move off the chair and stride to my closet. Grabbing new shorts plus panties, I stroll in
ARABELLA. PETE: I can't wait to see you tonight. I close the screen and hurl the phone into my pocket as I enter the living room and settle by Ashley's side. She turns to me and I open my mouth. "I've got a question that needs your view. " "What's it?" She asks, leaving the remote in her hand to turn her entire body to me and I do the same. "Okay, so there's this friend of mine..." "Friend of yours?" She quirks a brow and I nod. "Yes, and no, you don't know her. We kind of only talk at school so..." "That makes sense. Go on. " She urges and I think about each word before I let them out. "So she has a boyfriend, but there was a misunderstanding between them and that caused a strain in their relationship. " Ashley makes a sound that tells me to continue. "Since that, she doesn't feel like she used to, then there's this other boy. She's kind of attracted to him?" She nods and I proceed. "She tried to break up with her boyfriend, but after realizing that will hurt him, she held
ARABELLA. "Why?" He asks, then takes a step forward. "Why don't you want to have sex with me, Arabella? Are you afraid I'll hurt you?" "No. " I respond, taking a gulp. "That isn't what this is about. " "Then what's it about? Tell me why you don't want me to–" "Because I'm here to break up with you. " The words leave my mouth, and everywhere around us goes silent for long excruciating minutes. Peter stares at me as if he isn't believing the words he just heard, then he lets out a low chuckle. A second one, and another before he opens his mouth. "What are you talking about, baby? You need to stop with the jokes. " I shake my head. "I'm not joking, Peter. I want to break up with you. " His playful expression vanishes, and that scary one comes again. "No, you don't. " He says with a hint of finality. "You're not breaking up with me, Arabella. I told you that before. " "Yes, I am. I don't want to be with you any longer–" "And why is s that? Because I've previously refused to touch
ARABELLA. "Hi. " Alex mutters as I unwrap my arms and take a step back and I smile at him. "Hey. " "Are you okay?" He asks and I hum. "I just needed that. " "Enough?" He inquires and when I raise a brow in confusion, he motions to me and says, "Feeling better?" "I am now. " I reply and he surprises me by lifting his hand to my face. I remain still, keeping myself from doing the same to him as he brushes my hair from my face and strokes my cheek with his thumb. He does that for some seconds without saying a word, and as if just registering what he's doing; he suddenly removes his hand. "What's–" "Can we talk later? I need to get back to something. " He interrupts me before I can speak. "Right now?" I question and he nods. "Right now. " "Oh. I thought you were going to stay for a few minutes. " I say in a small voice and a smile tugs at the corner of his lips as his eyes move down my body. When he moves them back up, he says, "You brought extra?" My cheeks redden at my immedi
ARABELLA. "Ready?" Ashley asks me the second I step inside the living room and I throw her a warm smile. "I am. " She gives one glance down my body and meets my eyes. "Is Dex taking you?" "Yes. " I mutter, lifting my phone to send a quick text to the said guy. Dropping the mobile from my view, I look back at Ashley. "Why are you here? Isn't it a date out tonight?" Her face breaks into a smile as she responds. "It is. But I'm waiting until the last minute before I change. I have a surprise for him. " "And I'm not bothered. " I joke and she laughs. "You look pretty by the way. Peter's eyes will be glued to you. " She compliments as I move from my spot to take the couch across from her and I put on a small smile. "Thank you. " She hums and silence settles between us as she returns her eyes to the laptop on her lap. I sigh and bring up my phone again; my eyes move over Dex's name before I scroll to his and after two seconds of contemplating, I click on his contact. ME: Hey. Busy?
