ARABELLA. "There you are. I left a message. " I say to Dex when we meet halfway through and he rubs his eyes. "Sorry. I didn't check my phone. ""Are you okay?" I ask when I take notice of his scowl and he hums. "I am. ""Are you sure? Did something happen? You couldn't find Veronica?""Oh, I did. " He murmurs, dropping his hand from his face. "Just not in the state I expected. ""Is she okay? Where's she?""She left. With Sam. " He reveals with an irritating edge to his voice and I chuckle. "You don't like that?""No, that's not what–" Dex pauses when his eyes move behind me and I turn on my heels to see Alexander standing behind, only feet away with his hands tucked into his pockets and his eyes on me. "You were with him?" Dex's question returns my attention to him and I nod. "I was. I—""Wait. What the fuck is that?" He interrupts my words, his finger pointed straight at my neck and I wrap a hand around it, a finger trailing over the skin, knowing he's asking about the red skin f

ARABELLA. He shifts his chair to the back and stands then he stretches his hands out for me and I take them, letting him pull me out of my seat. He drags me to the front of the class and I gasp when he drops me on the teacher's desk, squatting in front of me. "Alex, I..." I start to say, eyes moving to the door and he says. "It's locked. " I return my eyes to him, and he spreads my legs, shifting closer. "Alex, Oh..." My next words turn into moans when he lifts my skirt and presses his thumb to the front of my panties, feeling my wetness through the thin material. "So wet and so ready. " He mumbles before his hand goes around me and brings me to the end of the desk. I arch my back, gripping onto the other side as I feel Alex shifts my panties, his finger now moving across my bare pussy. "Alex. " I whine, moving back to check him between my thighs and he throws me a tiny smirk as he meets his eyes. "Hold on, baby and try not to scream too loud. " That sudden pet name is enough to

ARABELLA.“Hey!” Ashley jumps at the sound of my loud voice and I let out a small giggle as she turns back with a frown and a hand over her chest. “Ara, Jeez. You scared me. “ She mutters as she drops her hand from her chest and I move around the kitchen island to get to where she stands.“Sorry. I just thought I might surprise you. “ I say with a smile and she shakes her head before reaching her left hand to me for a half hug. “Naughty. “ She whispers as she pulls away from the hug and I chuckle before I look behind her to the ingredients on the counter. Nodding my head towards it, I say, “Do you need my help with that?”Ashley looks behind her, then back at me, and with a tilt of her head, she says, “I would say yes, but something tells me you’re not here to help me with that, baby. “I let out a nervous laugh and rub my palms against each other as I press my back to the edge of the island. “Am I that obvious?”“Not exactly, but I know you better than that. You need something. What’s

DEX. “I told you not to get this one. “ Maddy snaps as we leave the shop and I don’t give her a reaction. We take the path that leads to home and there’s peace in the air and silence between us when I suddenly catch a glimpse of a familiar image. I stop in my tracks and it’s truly Veronica. I look at the label of the shop then take my gaze back to her. What is she doing in a bar shop?“Are you coming?” Maddy calls out to me. “Keep walking. I’ll catch up with you. Need to check something. “ I don’t let her say anything else before I walk into the shop. I clear my throat and smooth my hands down my shirt before I approach the most beautiful girl in the world. “Hey, you. Fancy meeting you here. “ I chuckle as I grab the seat next to her and she jumps slightly. In shock? Surprise? “What are you doing here?”“That’s what I should be asking you. “ I lift a brow and she doesn’t give me an answer before she turns away. There she goes again ignoring me. “You have a habit of ignoring yo

ARABELLA.I can’t get rid of the smile on my face as I stare at Alexander. He lies on the bed with his face to the ceiling while I lie with my body to the side just so I can get this good view of him.“You know I can feel you staring, right? “ He suddenly opens his eyes and I let out a low gasp as I instinctively move back, taking too much of the blanket we’re both sharing.“I wasn’t staring. “ I move to lie on my back and he chuckles. “If you say so. “There’s silence between us and the only sound I can hear is that of my hard breathing. It’s been minutes since we finished and I asked Alex if I could stay here for some time. I didn’t expect him to let me; even more, lie with me.Whatever has happened between us feels more intimate than anything we’ve ever had. Maybe I’m saying this because I haven’t had it with him yet, but it feels even more intimate than having sex.Does he feel that way, though? I doubt it.When I turn back to look at Alexander, his eyes are still on the ceiling;

ARABELLA.“I told you, didn’t I? I told you there was something strange about Veronica and Sam. “ Those are the first words Dex says to me as he takes the seat beside me, angrily dropping his bag to the floor and I look around us to make sure he hasn’t attracted any attention before I turn back to him.“Wow. Calm down. And keep your voice down. “ I tell him and he sighs, taking too many deep breaths.“Not even a hello?” I smile and he shakes his head. “Sorry. I was just too pissed and needed to let that out. “After another exhale, he says, “Where were you last night? I tried reaching you, but you weren’t picking up. “ My cheeks immediately heat up at the remembrance of where I was last night. More like who I was with and what we did.“I wasn’t with my phone. Sorry. “ I clear my throat before Dex catches on and he gives me a weird look but doesn’t speak further about it.“So what were you saying about Veronica and Dex?” I bring up the previous topic as a means to distract him and it se

ARABELLA. “Lay back. “ I tell Alexander as I pull up a pillow behind and he shakes his head. “I can take care of myself, Arabella. ““Don’t be stubborn. You’ll shut your mouth and lie back. “ I say with a scowl, and he chuckles as he complies with my instruction for the first time. “That was rude. “ He utters when I remove my hand from the pillow and I shrug. “It was needed. “I bend down and squeeze the soaked towel, making sure I have every last drip of the water before I gently place the folded towel over Alex’s forehead. “Not too hot right?” I ask him, glancing at his face and he nods. “You’re treating me like a sick person. ““Aren’t you one?” I retort and he chuckles weakly. “I’m not. I’m just having a terrible day. ““Are you always in such denial?” I mutter as I remove my hand from his forehead but he doesn’t say a word. I sigh and take a seat beside him on the bed. “You’re getting sick, Alex. You’ll only get better if you treat it before it worsens. ““Hmm, “ He hums as hi

ARABELLA.I had no idea what we were going to do when Alex asked to sneak out of school but I definitely didn’t expect it to be us sitting on a bench in a quiet park he drove us to.A few children are running around and laughing with their parents not far away, along with some couples standing under the trees, doing couple things I guess.I turn to Alex and his arms are crossed against his chest, his head raised to the sky with his eyes closed.“What are we doing here? “ I ask and he opens his eyes. He turns his head to me. “Relaxing. ““Relaxing?” I repeat, and he chuckles as he closes his eyes again.“I think I wanted you around. “ He mutters and that makes my heart skip a beat.“You did?”“I might enjoy your company far more than you realize. “ He says, and it takes me by surprise. He enjoys my company? We rarely talk, though. When we’re together, our hands never leave each other. I guess that’s something to enjoy.“You’re being surprisingly nice today. “ I tell him and he opens one
