Keisha’s POVMy eyes snapped open and I jerked him off me with a speed I didn’t know I possessed. He groaned in pain as he hit the floor with a thud.Thanking God for the distraction that made me come back to my senses, I scrambled to my feet and created some distance between us. “I’ve warned you not to kiss me again.” I said, trying to make my voice hard, but it only came out breathless.“I just couldn’t control myself. There are some things I have no control over, especially when I’m around you.” Jake replied as he got on his feet.My stupid heart skipped a beat at his words. This wasn’t part of the things I had in mind. His actions and words weren’t supposed to have an effect on me anymore.I brushed what he said aside and gestured for him to get out through my window, “get out, now!”He groaned as he moved closer to me instead of the window, I took two steps backwards with every step he took until my back hit the wall.“Jake, out. Now!” My voice came out like I was pleading, I ha
Keisha’s POV The silence between us was awkward. Jake hadn’t said anything since and Rowan leaned back like nothing just happened. There was a thick tension in the air.I was in between two ticking bombs, wondering which one would explode first. I looked at Rowan to see there was a satisfied look on his face.Did he do that deliberately? To make Jake pissed? I was honestly confused right now.I heard one of the twins snickered. I turned to glare at them and I saw the both of them watching us like a movie. I had even forgotten that they were here.“How about we solve another question?” I said as I proceeded to grab my pen. I was trying to lessen the tension but it only became thicker when I felt Jake’s hand on my hair. He pulled out the band I used to tie it, making my hair fall over my face.I released a silent gasp. It had been really long since he did that. Tell me why I claim I hated this guy but my ears were yearning to hear the words that usually came right after he pulled the b
Keisha’s POVI swallowed the lump in my throat as Joshua opened the door wider, Rowan stepped in with a smile on his face and textbooks in his hands, but his smile dropped as soon as he saw Jake sitting on the couch beside me, then his eyes moved to the books on the table in front of him. “What a pleasant surprise.” He said to Jake who was also staring at him with surprise on his face. “You didn’t tell me he was going to be here.” He directed that to me.Before I was able to answer, Jake cut in.“It turns out I love studying just as much as you, brother.” He said in a bored tone.Rowan walked to us, his eyes never leaving Jake’s as he dropped his books on the table and sat on the couch too. It was obvious they both didn’t like what was going on. Well, I didn’t like it either but I was going to find out they acted like this towards each other, so I had to endure.I sat in the middle of both of them, to prevent them from setting themselves on fire with their hot gazes. I inhaled deeply
Keisha's POV "Girl, are you okay? I thought you were having a stroke for a second." Amy voiced out as soon as Rowan disappeared."Oh my God! I'm going on a date with Rowan!" I squealed as I jumped up and down like a little girl.The girls and I jubilated for a while until the bell rang. We promised to talk about the outfit I would be wearing to the date by lunch. I skipped happily to my class and just as I was about to step into the classroom, I bumped into Phoebe, more like we bumped into each other. We both staggered backwards while she rubbed her forehead in pain.I was a bit taller than her, so I had hit her with my chin. I was sure I didn't hit her hard because my chin was perfectly fine, but she stood there rubbing her head like I just hit her with a brick. "Watch where you are going!" She hissed as if in pain, "the school was so peaceful when you were gone for a week, now you are back and causing havoc." She rolled her eyes and walked past me into the class.I wanted to talk
Keisha’s POVMy mind wandered as I got out of my mom’s car and headed into the school. I didn’t see Jake while we were heading home yesterday evening, his car wasn’t in the parking lot either. I found myself staring out of the window of my room several times, trying to catch even a glimpse of him, but he wasn’t in his room almost throughout the day. I was even tempted to go to our former hideout, the abandoned basketball court, but what would I say if I met him there? Would it be weird if I claimed to be mad at him and still ask him why he left and then came back all of a sudden? Of course, it would be weird.“Hey, Keisha. It’s your favourite day, Monday. Why do you look like you suddenly hate it?” Yuri asked as she ran over to my side.I groaned as we headed towards her locker, we made a quick stop before walking to mine. And he was right there, leaning on his locker with a basketball in his hand. Lucas said something to him which made him tilt his head backwards and laugh.God! He
Keisha’s POVI removed the flowers in the vase of grandpa’s room and replaced them with the ones we just brought. Mom sat on the chair beside his bed, chatting with him while Justin and Joshua busied themselves with the rest of the brownies.“Charity and I have grown fond of each other since she arrived, but those other men won’t keep their eyes off her.” I heard grandpa say to my mom.“So, what are you going to do about it?” Mom asked him.He smiled and looked proud of himself, “I’m going to ask her on a real date, then I will ask her to be my girlfriend.”I smiled at his response as I took a seat at the edge of his bed.“But isn’t it too early to ask her to be your girlfriend, grandpa?” Justin asked with a mouth full of brownies.“Life is too short, Charity and I are running our time so, why wait?” Grandpa answered him.“Hmm, that makes sense.” Joshua said, he and Justin nodded their heads simultaneously. Weirdos.“That doesn’t mean you guys can have girlfriends now. No girlfriends
