Claimed By Two Rivals 23: Lifted spirit
Nolan's POVAfter Genevieve left, I walked towards my room. She might have thought that she ran away and escaped me but she didn't. I was the one who let her go because I was confused by my feelings. She was so close to me, I could feel her breath on my face and her scent invading my senses. It took every ounce of control I had left in me not to devour her. If it were any other girl in her shoes, it would have been a different scenario but with her, I couldn't bring myself to do that. My jumbled thoughts were what led me to let her go. The door suddenly beeped signaling that someone had entered. I turned around."Jackson? What are you still doing here?" I inquired wondering why he wasn't at his own house by that time of the night."Is that a way to welcome your father?" I halted in my steps when I heard that voice. His face soon comes into view."What are you doing here?" I asked with a frown."How disrespectful. Can't I visit my son whenever I want? And besides, this is my house. I

Genevieve's POV"What did you just say? I didn't quite catch that," I said, raising my head sharply to glance at him. Due to the honking of moving cars on the road, I thought I had misheard him."Forget it if you didn't hear it," he replied as he walked away. I ran after him."I definitely heard you say thank you. I never knew you know how to show gratitude," I said."You know nothing about me," he responded."I found out enough to know that you are rude and incapable of feeling anything," I replied."How do you know I don't feel anything?" he asked again."That's what everyone at school and your expression says. The way you act doesn't tell me otherwise. Why do people run away from you like a plague? You might be a selfish rude jerk but that doesn't mean they should all be scared of you," I said to him. "Are you complimenting me or insulting me?" he inquired. I shrugged."Take it however you want." I glanced at him after we walked for a while and he wasn't responding to my question.
Claimed By Two Rivals 21: Unexpected gratitude
Genevieve's POVI watched him spit out the wine in his mouth in shock. He rubbed his chest repeatedly without taking his eyes off me."Why do you look so shocked? It's not like it's a lie," I said. "Yes...no. I mean how could you say it like that, that too with a straight face?" he asked in disbelief. "How else was I supposed to say it? You do know that this is kidnapping right? I can sue you for this," I said leaning onto the chair and folding my hands in front of me. He chuckled."Kidnapping? Sue? It's nothing that serious. All I did was bring a girl I like over for a romantic dinner," he winked at me. "Common, let's eat," he continued walking over to take a seat on the chair at the dining table. I stood up, walked towards him, and also took a seat.He narrowed his eyes. "That was easy.""It would be wrong of me to let this delicious-looking food go to waste. The problem I have is with you not with the food," I replied, grabbing my cutleries and starting to eat. I had been surpris
Claimed By Two Rivals 20: Something shocking
Nolan's POVEveryone glanced at each other confused by my words."And who are you talking about? Do we have a kitten in this field?" the teacher inquired in confusion."We do. A cute little one standing right..." I trailed my fingers across everyone standing on the field and their curious eyes in turn followed the direction of my hand till it stopped on her. "there," I said with a smile. She glared at me angrily but why did her glare look so cute to me? It makes me want to hide her away all for myself."She's the only one who can make me play, that is if she is curious to see me play," I insisted. I know she could feel everyone's intense gazes and that's exactly what I wanted. The pressure would make her succumb to what I wanted."I'm not curious to see you play," she deadpanned. I turned towards her sharply."What?" I asked."You should play if you want to, why should I be the one to tell you what to do? If you don't want to be here, leave. I'm not joining your group," she replied fi
Claimed By Two Rivals 19: Feeling guilty
Genevieve's POVI rode the school bus to school happily. So far, I've had two shifts at Betty's Diner and it has been amazing. My mum still had no idea that I had a part-time job. I kept giving her the excuse of going over to a friend's house to study. I felt so guilty for lying and it felt like the lies got deeper and worse each day. Despite the guilt, I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth because I knew she would ground me to eternity if she could. I sighed, getting off the school bus. My spirit was dampened anytime I thought of what I'd done.Walking into the school building, I met with Owen getting off his bike. I stopped when he caught sight of me. He stared at me for a while and I thought he wanted to speak to me. Just when I tried walking towards him, he headed inside. I frowned. He was behaving so weirdly. One minute he was taking me home and getting me ice cream, the next, he was rude and ignoring me. All I wanted to do was thank him for the ride and also for the job
Claimed By Two Rivals 18: Happiness or a parent's happiness?
Genevieve's POVIt was a Saturday morning and I had just finished my chores. I planned on informing Mum about my new job before starting my shift at noon. I hadn't informed her all this while because I was scared of what her reaction might be which was why I kept on postponing it till it got to today. I knew I couldn't hold off any longer. I glanced at her for the tenth time or more. I had lost count. She was watching a comedy show on TV."Gen, come and watch this with me. It's hilarious," she called laughing out loud. Her voice startled me. I dropped the kitchen towel which I had been using to wipe the already dried dishes for the past thirty minutes. I walked towards the living room and sat on a sofa."Can you see that?" she asked as she pointed at the screen laughing again. I forced a burst of laughter as well. I wasn't even looking or paying attention to the show. I had been practicing how to tell her about this in my head for about two whole days and now when the moment was final
