ALEXANDER. I stare into her beautiful brown eyes as the words leave my mouth and her lips part lightly, but she doesn’t say anything for a second. "What?" she whispers after a while and I smile, pushing my face closer to hers as I repeat the words. "I said I think I like you." I’ve spent two weeks with her after telling her I wanted to give this a try, but it felt like I just got to really know her. I’ve always known her, but these past weeks, it feels like I know her on a deeper level. Arabella Leovough is like a ball of sunshine. She loves smiling and laughing a lot. And maybe it’s because I’ve always been a bit reserved on my end. That made her the same, which is why I didn’t figure out earlier, but she’s a witty girl too. Not that funny. But funny in the way where you just can’t help cracking up at her jokes even when she sucks at them. From afar, Arabella seems like a nice, quiet girl who’s got her life pieced together but when you get to know her, she’s a chaotic girl who you

ARABELLA.My eyes open to my white ceiling and I let out a sharp breath, the events of the previous night going through my mind. My lips stretch into a smile as I remember how amazing it felt and how Alex was.I never thought my first time would be with a mysterious boy who lives next street, but I wouldn’t change a single thing about it.It was just… perfect. Alexander was perfect the entire time and my body still tingles from the way he held me so tight and so close after– almost as if he’s afraid I’d break.Most importantly, he said he likes me. Right before he took what I wanted to give him. I can’t think of any other perfect timing. It was almost as if he had it planned.I chuckle to myself and turn on my side, only for my smile to fade when the space next to me is empty. He’s gone.I sit up on the bed, wincing at the slight discomfort between my thighs as I spread my hand across the mattress. It isn’t warm, so he must have left for a while.I frown and rest against the headboard,

ARABELLA. Alexander takes me to the middle of the bed as he showers my face with kisses and I move my hands down his abs. He takes my mouth in his again and I slip my tongue into his mouth, running it over his teeth as I lock my hands around his neck. He pulls back by an inch as he trails kisses down my neck while one hand plays with my breast, squeezing it through the material of the gown I have on and I feel my panties start to get soaked as I let out a moan, arching my back in pleasure. Alexander moves back to my mouth and, after a small peck, he draws back with his hands pressing onto the bed as he lifts himself off me. My chest rises and falls as I stare at his face, my hands on his shoulder. He doesn’t remove his eyes from mine as he spreads my thighs wider with his leg and one of his hands sneaks underneath my gown. I let out a whimper when he brushes his thumb over my wet panties and the corner of his mouth lifts at my reaction as he repeats the action. "Alex…" I groan out

ARABELLA. "Hey," I raise my head to see Alexander staring at me with a smile. Our naked body is covered with his blanket and I return the smile. "Hi." "You feeling good?" He questions, looking at the space between us, and I chuckle as I move my leg a bit. "I think I am." After fucking me from behind, he removed my gown completely and then had me ride him. I don’t know how I manage to not pass out before my orgasm. My body aches and I’m completely exhausted, but I feel amazing. Absolutely amazing. “I think I might have inspired you a bit too much.” Alex jokes as he shifts closer to me, dropping his hand on my cheek and I chuckle, humming along to the feel of his touch against my skin. "You look pretty." He tells me and I blush under his gaze, looking away from him as I say, "I look disheveled and I’m naked." "I know. Pretty." He insists, and I meet his eyes. My tongue rolls over my lips as my heart races at his words and curious thoughts crawl into my mind. What does this make us

DEX. I halt my steps when I see Veronica standing next to an angry-looking Sam and my mouth falls open. This was who she came for. It’s been long minutes since Veronica left the shop and I thought I’d go in search of her because I got worried. I, however, didn’t expect to find her in the arms of her boyfriend. "What the fuck is he doing here?" I hear Sam blurts angrily to her as I stand before them, a few feet away. "He came to see me. That’s what I was trying to–" "Came to see you?" Sam sneers as he turns his full attention to Veronica. "What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Who the hell is he to come to see you?" Veronica sighs as she takes a step forward, trying to reach out her hand, but Sam slaps it away and I grit my teeth, wanting to jump between them at that second but forcing myself to stop. I shouldn’t. Not yet. "Sam, please. Don’t create a scene here. If you had let me speak–" "Don’t create a scene?" He laughs as he points at me. "I’m not the one who’s fucking chea

ARABELLA. "That wasn’t so hard, was it?" I smile as I drop the grocery bags in Alex’s kitchen, but when he enters and I see the expression on his face, my smile fades. After my question earlier in the car, the atmosphere between us changed. ~EARLIER~ Alex stares at me with a blank face. "What?" "Sofia. Who’s she to you?" I repeat my question and he blinks twice before he looks away from me, turning his head to the front. "No one important." "Alex–" "Arabella, please. I don’t want to speak about it. Just drive." There’s a slight edge to his tone that tells me if I push it more than that, it’d result in something I wouldn’t like and a fight with Alexander is the last thing I want today which is why I sigh and turn back to the steering wheel. ~PRESENT~ Alexander was silent the entire ride to his place, and he refused to meet my gaze or even glance at my side. His head was against the car window and he didn’t speak a word to me. Up till now. I can feel my annoyance growing with

ARABELLA. I’m turned and Alex smiles at me as he removes his hand from my mouth. "Hey." I slap the books I have in hand into his side and he hisses as I say, "You scared the shit out of me. I thought I was in trouble for a minute there." "Do you have enemies? Why should you be scared?" He chuckles as he rubs the spot before he drops his hand. "You don’t need to have enemies to be in trouble," I mumble as I tuck my hair behind my ear, then finally smile. "But, hey. You couldn’t have just called for me? Or snatched me the normal way?" "I thought you’d recognize my touch." He pouts. "You didn’t. My voice too. I’m actually hurt, Arabella." He jokes as he presses a hand to his chest and I chuckle. "I’d have had better focus if I wasn’t panicked." Alex laughs before he wraps a hand around my waist, pushing me to his chest with my hands serving as a barrier as I grip my books and phone. He raises his other hand to my face and pulls my cheeks before he lowers his head, meshing his lips a

ARABELLA. My mouth falls open at Veronica’s revelation and I meet Dex’s eyes, who look just as shocked as I am. "What?" He mutters as he raises to his feet next to her, his gaze moving to her phone. I watch as a muscle in his jaw ticks and anger reflects through his orbs. "That bastard." "I need to leave." Veronica declares, dropping her hand, and I look between Dex and her before I open my mouth. "Is that safe? I mean–" "It’s my sister. I don’t care if it’s safe. I need to leave right this moment." She insists, and I stand from my seat. "I know, but to Sam? What if he tries to do something?" "I do not care." "I think we should call the cops. That’s literally child abuse. He should be–" "No," Veronica says, interrupting Dex and he gives me a look before he turns to her. "Veronica, you can’t let him get away with this. He should be punished." "No, Dex. I know what I’m saying. You do not know these people as I do. I just– I need to see Sam first." "Then I’ll come with you," Dex
