JAXSON'S POV

The door swung open so hard it cracked against the wall. I stood in the doorway, my mouth wide open, trying to make sense of what I was looking at. Lily was curled up on Clara's bed, tucked under her arm, her small face pressed into that same disgusting oversized shirt Clara always slept in. She was fast asleep, not missing, not hurt.

For one second, I felt relieved that she was okay. Then something else took over, something uglier, something I couldn't explain even to myself.

  • Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd    CHAPTER 41: APOLOGIZE 

    MAYA'S POVBLACKWOOD ESTATEI arrived at the estate a little past nine in the morning and got off my father's truck parked by the side gate. The staff members helped the workers haul crates of bread inside. Becca met me at the entrance, a sweet smile already spreading across her face."Right on time," she said, then pulled me in for a quick hug before waving the truck driver through toward the kitchen. "Come in. Open the gates so he can park in."We walked back to her room together, and she shut the door behind us. I lay softly on the bed; it's Becca after all, I can be myself around her. She lay right beside me, and we turned to each other, all smiles."What's going on, bread girl?" she giggled."A lot. We hardly even talk during the week," I said."Yeah, I know, we're not supposed to use our phones when on duty.""Yeah, I know that.""How's school?" she asked."Chaotic, as usual," I said. "We've got tests coming up, and half the senior class is losing their minds over college applic

    CLARA'S POV"I don't understand," I said, genuinely confused."What don’t you understand? What, you don't understand English? Want me to say it in French? Tu n'es pas autorisé à aller à la fête de James," he said sarcastically with a weird accent."But I was invited.""But you're staff here. You're obligated to be here; it's the weekend. Remember what your employee guide says, remember the rules, Clara.""Jaxson, it'll only take a few hours. I can ask Maria, I'll be back before—""YOU DON'T BELONG THERE!" he screamed. "What's the point? You don't belong there anyway. You stay here, do your job, and cancel every thought of going to that party." He pointed at me. "Don't test me, Clara. Don't. This isn’t theschool games; if you disobey me, I’d make your life miserable."He turned and walked away.I stood there, tears rolling down my cheeks. I searched for the words to fight back, to curse and scream at him the way he'd just done to me, but nothing came. He was right; I didn't belong ther

  • Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd    CHAPTER 39: FATPHOBIC WORLD

    CLARA'S POV"I don't know," I said quietly, dragging down the ends to make it longer, suddenly aware of every inch of myself. "It's a lot of skin, Maya. My whole body is out; I don't think I can pull this off.""You’re already pulling it off, girl; you look incredible. Look at your waist. All that ass hiding in a school uniform?" She teased."Maya, stop.""But I'm not lying; it's right there.""I don't feel good in it; let's check for something else.""Nope, we're not doing that. This is it, and you're wearing this.""It's my body, Maya, please. I wouldn't wear something that makes me feel uncomfortable.""Why? No, tell me, why and how does this make you feel uncomfortable? You look fabulous, Clara. You always do this, you always—""MAYA, PLEASE!" I screamed. "I don't need you to remind me what I do or how I feel," I said, pulling at the dress. "I don't feel comfortable with this, and I'm not wearing it. I don't expect you to know what it’s like being fat; you have a model body."\“I

  • Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd    CHAPTER 38: DEAD TO THE TOUCH

    JAXSON'S POVThe fabric of Sloane's silk shirt shifted beneath my palm. I felt her hard nipples, yet my body remained completely dead to the touch. Her fingers dipped lower; she squished my balls and stroked me hard, trying to force a reaction off, Big Jax. I closed my eyes, focused entirely on the friction, and willed the blood to rush where it always did, but nothing stirred."What's wrong with you?" Sloane whispered. Her hand froze against my stomach, and she pulled back an inch to search my face. "You're distracted," she said. "What's going on with you, Jax? You've been weird all week.""It's nothing," I said, pulling back slightly. "Games have been rough. Charles has been on my back about everything, Coach is riding us hard for regionals, my parents are gone, and I've got Lily to deal with. It's a lot right now."She narrowed her eyes at me, not quite buying it, but she let it go for the moment, and tucked herself back against my chest instead. "You know you don't have to carr

  • Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd    CHAPTER 37: NEVER AGAIN

    CLARA'S POVI tripped and lost my balance when I heard him. I stood on the pavement for a second, staring at the open window. My mind raced at light speed, and I thought of every possible reason he was doing this — more homework, or maybe he wanted to warn me again about something."I said get in," he repeated.I hesitated a moment longer, then pulled the door open and slid into the passenger seat, setting my bag carefully on the floorboard, making sure nothing touched the leather. He pulled back onto the road without another word, and for a long stretch neither of us spoke, the silence sitting heavy between us, thick enough that I could hear my own breathing over the hum of the engine."How's Lily doing?" he asked finally, eyes still fixed on the road ahead.The question caught me off guard. It was such a normal thing to ask, especially for people who live in the same house, but we never had conversations like these; we never talked about anything."She's doing well," I said carefull

  • Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd    CHAPTER 36: GET IN

    JAXSON'S POV"JAX." Clara's voice cut through my thoughts. "Please excuse me, I need to get to my room."I moved out of the way, still stunned by what I had just seen, or maybe just noticed for the first time. But why hadn't I noticed this before? I'd shared a house with her and seen her dress like this for about a week now, and somehow I never saw it; I never saw her as capable of sexiness.I watched her walk past me down the hall, her hips swaying slightly under the loose fabric of her nightdress. I had to physically shake myself back into my own body. "Get it together, Jax," I muttered under my breath, dragging a hand down my face.But then, right there in the hallway, I felt myself harden, Big Jax thickened and stretched, my shorts shot out in front, and I knew right then that I was in deep sh*t.CLARA'S POV"Well, that was awkward," I muttered to myself as I opened my bedroom door and leaned my back against it for a second.Why did he stare at me like that, I thought, replaying t

    He stared at me. I stared right back. Our eyes fixed on each other. The world did not end, though it felt like it should have. His mouth opened. "What the hell?" he screamed. "Adene? Is this a joke? Are you stalking me now?" "Jaxson." Maria appeared behind him, but her eyes moved straigh

    I stared at the screen until the light burned my eyes. Removed from the W******p group. Then from the squad. What for? What was my offense? My phone rang out. Maya was calling. I picked up. "Clara? Are you seeing this?" Maya’s voice was frantic. "I just saw the notification. I tried to message

    The word hit me like a physical blow to the chest.Filled?This couldn't be true. I needed this job. It wasn't just a job; it was the medicine in my mother's veins. It was the roof over our heads."Maria, wait," Mrs. Gabe pleaded. "I spoke to Helena this afternoon. She said—""And I am speaking t

    I couldn’t speak.“She’s fading, Clara,” he continued. "Every hour we wait is an hour we don’t get back. If we delay much longer, she might not make it.”The doctor walked away to check on another patient."I’ll get the money, sir. I’ll try," I whispered as he went.My phone buzzed in my hand. I lo
