Entangled With The Bad Boy 38
AVAThe drive to the date is silent. An awkward kind of silence, but one I like. The moment I saw Luke waiting for me in the parking lot, I realized I’m still pissed at him. Everything he’s said and done since the day he suggested that stupid open relationship bullshit comes rushing back into my head and it refuses to leave.Luke must sense it too, because instead of trying to force conversation, he just plugs in his phone and plays his favorite song on repeat. That is torture. Still, it’s less torture than having to fake a smile and make small talk with him right now.I grip my hands tight in my lap and stare out the window, reminding myself over and over: Use your head. Get through this date. Don’t mess it up.The car finally rolls to a stop. Before I can reach for the handle, Luke is already there, opening my door. The perfect boyfriend move. It would’ve been swoon worthy if I wasn’t replaying every stupid thing he’s done in my head each time I look at him.I take a deep breath and

AVA“What was that about earlier? You and hot, fine as hell Kai?” Gemma blurts out.I knew she was going to ask. At least she didn’t spill it in class and waited until we settled on one of the benches aroundcampus.I guess this is it, the moment to tell her everything. I just hope she doesn’t lose her mind. And if she does, I won’t blame her. I deserve it. I can only pray I don’t lose my best friend in the process.She continues. “You said hi to him. Like, hello? Ava Whitmore saying hi to Kai? You don’t even like him.”Yeah, I don’t like him. Not at all. But for reasons I can't name, I find myself drawn to him. “I said I wanted to tell you something,” I pause.“Yes, you did. What was that about?” she presses.I clench my fists at my sides. I can do this.“Part of it… it’s about Kai. Not all of it, just part of it,” I start, words tumbling out. “I swear I should have told you before, I don’t even know why I didn't. I just didn’t know how to. I was stupid and filled with shame. I — ”

AVAI have a plan, starting today. From now on, I’ll focus on my studies, my hobbies, and the things I actually love doing. Nodistractions. I’ll stick with Luke, keep my head high and be who I am supposed to be. The person my family would be proud of.Today, I’ll start by coming clean to my friends. Well… to Gemma. I have to tell her everything, about being in an open relationship with my boyfriend, about what went on between me and Kai. It’s going to be tough to get the words out, but I have to. I can’t keep lying to the one person who knows me best.I take a deep breath and step into class. The room is packed, barely any empty seats which is surprising, considering the professor isn’t even here yet. And I know I’m not late. Then again, it’s Literature and Writing. A requirement for all majors.I move my way down the hall, my eyes scanning the room for my best friend. I can feel sharp eyes on me. I’m used to stares, but I know some of them have to do with what I’m wearing. Well, I h

AVAScrew that voice in my head telling me not to, I’m going to do it.I grab a tube of lip gloss from my bedside table and swipe it over my lips. I brush my hair down and raise my phone, I find the perfect angle and take the photo. The image shows my face and my chest, my black lace bra exposed showing half my boobs. I take a deep breath, then tap send.My heart pounds. Kai’s seen it.No response. What if he doesn’t like it? What if he doesn’t find me attractive? What if he thinks I am pathetic, like some desperate bitch chasing him?Then my screen lights up.Kai: Jesus.Before I can even heave a sigh of relief, another message appears.Kai: Fuck, Ava.Another one follows.Kai: You’re so hot. Damn.A flush creeps up my face. It’s not the first time someone’s called me hot, but coming from him? It feels different, it's as if I can hear him whispering it in my ears. The words ignite me and fill up my body with heat and a reckless kind of thrill.I know where this path is leading , the

AVAI know I shouldn't have unblocked him. I shouldn't but I can't help it. I need someone to talk to and distract me from myself.I can't talk to the only friends I have right now, I fucking lied to them. How do I even begin to explain the damn lies? I can't talk to my brother either, his go - to reaction is anger and violence. If I tell him, he will go straight to Mom, crash out, and say something that will get him punished. I can't be the reason he gets scolded.The only person I want to talk to is the very one I am supposed to stay away from. The more I try to resist him, the closer I find myself drawn to him. And the worst part? Some part of me likes it. That’s why, when I think of someone to turn to, he’s the one who comes to mind.I swallow a gulp down my throat, staring at the phone in my hand. I can’t keep looking at it, as if a message might magically appear and send itself to him. I’ve already unblocked him, a line I shouldn’t have crossed so I might as well take another st

AVAIt’s way too late when I get home, almost past eight. I know I am probably going to get scolded for breaking curfew. My parents don’t like to call it that, though. They insist it’s not a rule but more about us being responsible, not staying out past the “reasonable time” they’ve set.But let's be real, it is still a curfew. Especially since the second you're late, you get the full lecture. And the truth, I hate that. Not because I don't care, but because I do. I hate disappointing them so much.I take a deep breath and ring the doorbell. It swings open almost instantly, like they’ve been waiting for me. Of course, it’s Zade. Even Zade, the king of breaking rules, managed to get home before me. I’m cooked.The door opens wider and I step into the living room, closing it behind me.“Hey,” I say.“Hi, little sister,” Zade replies.I don’t even bother correcting him. The jerk will never stop with that. He’s only a few minutes older, but he’ll never shut up about it.“Mom’s been waitin
