Guys. We went from 100th to 47th in the New Books Gem Rankings in under twenty four hours?!!! Mindblown! And I'm watching out for us to move higher>.<
ARABELLA. Peter is standing in front of me, and my mouth hangs at his black eye and other obvious bruises. He looks like he got into a big fight, and lost in every single way. "Peter?" I call and he removes his hands from my shoulders, taking a step back to leave a tiny distance between us. "What the hell happened to you?" He opens his mouth, "That doesn't matter right now. I'm so glad I found you alone. " "What–" "I'm so sorry, Ara. " He interrupts me before I can speak any further, guilt covering his expression and I take a swallow at his words reference "I don't know how many times I have to say that, I don't care how many times I'd have to, but I'm so fucking sorry. I had no idea what I was doing when I said those words to you. " "Oh, didn't you now?" I let out a sad chuckle and he shakes his head, "I don't know what came over me. You have to forgive me. Please. I'm sorry. " "You called me a whore. " I point out and he nods, lowering his gaze, "I'm sorry. " "Because of so
ARABELLA. I look into his eyes and his gaze is soft as he rests it on me. Alexander proceeds to surprise me by saying, "I'm sorry. " My eyes widen and I watch the bob in his throat shift a bit as he keeps his eyes locked on mine. "What? Why?" I ask and he says, "I thought that'd be the right thing to say. You're in this because of what I did, aren't you?" "No. " I respond to him and when he narrows his eyes, I say, "Maybe a bit, but the fault doesn't entirely rest on you. " "You have eyes all over you because I kissed you. I think the fault pretty much rests on me. " He argues, moving his hand and I shake my head. "It doesn't. People here will find things to talk about, so that isn't a surprise. It's just a matter of time before they find someone else to pick on and I become history. " "What?" I smile when he hums and he says, "Nothing. You just reminded me of something. " "Oh. " I mouth and he nods. "I'm not taking it back, though. " "Taking what back?" "My sorry. " He cl
ARABELLA. "Look who I found. It's the innocent one. " I look into the mirror at the mocking voice to meet Nina's eyes and a smirk rests on her face as she stands behind me with her arms crossed to her chest. I don't say a word as I fix my school shirt and turn to walk out of the restroom, only for her to grab my arm and twist me back to her view. She glares at me. "I'm speaking to you. Did you just try to ignore me?" "Get your hands off me. " I tell her calmly, but that only seems to infuriate her the more. "Still trying to act like the good one?" "What do you want from me, Nina?" I sigh and she seems to be surprised at my words, but manages to catch onto herself quick, masking her expression with a hateful one. "What I want from you is to stay away from Alexander. " A chuckle leaves my lips at those words, remembering the occurrence from last evening. I take a glance down her body then meet her eyes again, "And if I don't want to?" She smirks now, pushing her face closer to
ARABELLA. "Hey. " I stop glaring at my locker at the voice and turn my head to see Sabrina staring at me with excited eyes. "Hey, Sab. Do you need something?" I ask and she turns her head sideways. "No. Actually, I want to ask something from you. Do you mind coming to my party? I'm throwing one tonight. "I gaze at the outstretched pink card. "And you made cards for that?"She frowns. "Why? Is it bad? I thought it'd create better awareness. "I chuckle at her cuteness and take the card from her. "No, it isn't bad. Just the first time I'd see anyone make these for a party, but you're unique, aren't you?"She beams as I take a glance at the card. It has her name and her face on the front with nothing at the back. "I'll try to make it. ""You must. " She warns, pointing her forefinger at me and I nod. "Sounds like I just might with that face. ""Excited! Thank you, girl. I'll see you tonight?" She lifts a brow and I nod. Then she squeals once more before she walks away. I shake my head
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
