Alexios POV "We are late for class." She was nervous. Was I too hasty to have kissed her? Or is she nervous because I am finding it difficult to control the urge of claiming her as mine... Of marking her.Class? Like he would dare disobey my order."No, we will be right on time." I told her swallowing in the urge to beg her to leave school with me. The urge to take her away to somewhere private, somewhere no one will listen in on our conversation. A place where I can have her open her thoughts, and her fears to me."How can you sound so certain? Come on we should go." She surprised me by linking her fingers with mine as she tried pulling me outside with her. Chuckling, I let her pull me along. As we got to the class, she tried pulling her finger away from mine, and when she noticed I wasn't letting her, she looked at me with her cute eyes pleading."Why?" I mouthed. I did overhear her conversation with Skylar, but I can't confront her or be too forward about it as it is illogical for
Sophia's POV "So... Will you mind if I hang out at yours?" Skylar asked. "My parents won't be home till later and I truly do not want to stay home all by myself." I nodded. Having her at my place should be fun. We could get some homework done and just have fun together."I would love to have you over." I smiled in response. "Awesome! We will just have to wait for your mom now right? Fuck! Will she be okay with me coming over? I might have to stay for a while." I laughed knowing mom will be very much happier to have her at our home than I would be."I am sure she will love to have you there." I noticed her weird signal to a certain area so I looked over. Alexios and the guys were heading toward his car. "They definitely saw us..." Skylar murmured. "Did you two have an argument?" Argument? More like our tongues were entangled in a battle. "No we didn't argue." "Well, like I said, they saw us. I am sure of it but they all looked away like we aren't standing here." I looked back at the
Alexios POV I hurt her...When Skylar had asked her if we had an argument and insisted I had seen them which was true, it pained me when she insinuated I had ignored Sophia. I was on a mission to ignore her, to make her realize just how hurtful and ridiculous it would be if we stayed apart as she wanted. But I ended up hurting her, making her cry.When her call came in, my first instinct was to pick it up, to hear her voice. But I ended up pressing the lower volume button, I ended up muting her call."Are you sure you are alright?" Wyatt had asked. Of course I wasn't alright! I was battling with myself. A part... A huge part of me wanted to run to her, into her arms, and tell her to never stay away from me, but then, I wanted her to see how impossible ignoring one another in school will be. How hurtful that would be for the both of us."I don't think his phone is in his pocket." She was right, the phone isn't in my pocket but in my hands instead. "Shit! Skylar is dragging her here."
Alexios POV "Mom, I truly do not think it is right to just show up at their place without prior notice." We will after all be meeting her family and right now, her mom probably hates me."Then call her. There is still some time before dinner. I am curious about her and I truly want to meet her. So why not just make use of this opportunity? You can also apologize for your earlier stupidity to her and to her mother." Mom responded with finality as she hummed away to her room."Well son, that's what you get for going to your mom instead of coming to me." Dad grinned in mockery as he pat my shoulders. "I better go get ready, and I will suggest you do the same." He winked leaving my room too.Since I cannot convince my mom against her decision, I should inform Sophia about this. I picked up my phone and called her number, and as I had assumed, she didn't pick up. After the third time, I decided to just text her instead. "Hi, I know I have a lot of explanations to do and I promise I never
Sophia's POV "Well dynamite, I have got to confess when I said I wanted to meet the boy you are dating, I wasn't expecting to be meeting him together with his family." Dad had been shocked when he came back home and heard of Alexios and his family's visit. "Well, doesn't that just make the surprise even better?" Mom luckily helped me out. "We should smile a bit more to avoid our guests feeling unwelcomed when they do come." Mom added and dad only frowned more."I am not begging them to like my daughter." He muttered grudgingly. "That sucks for you then, your daughter likes their son. So they must like your daughter for her relationship to be successful." Skylar looked at me, she didn't need to speak for me to know she is wondering why the abrupt change in mom's character towards Alexios. Truthfully, I am wondering the same, hence why I am a little worried for Alexios. I have tasted every dish she made and ascertained that none had been made to punish him. Not that I think she wou
Sophy's POV I bit my lips as I cast a pity glance his way. I didn't expect mom to play such a childish trick just so he wouldn't eat the food she had made. But then again, this is way better than all the thoughts that had gone through my head. "Awesome. Do you by chance know why she had cried earlier? These two are refusing to tell me anything." What does she mean by we didn't?! She had literally squeezed the reason out of our heads earlier. Skylar and I shared a look."You cried?" Dad asked watching me. I know him well enough to know he is getting upset. Shaking my head, I gave him a reassuring smile. "It wasn't much of a big deal dad." Seeing the frown that was still etched on his face, I held his palm as I squeezed silently promising him that I was fine and it had truly not been much of a big deal.But dad ignored me as he watched Alexios glaringly."I..." He stuttered glancing around the room. Before stopping his gaze on me. I don't know why, but I looked away and instead conce
We both walked side by side, none of us uttering a word. "Sophia..." He suddenly stopped causing me to stop too. "I am sorry. I had not intended to hurt you with my actions, and by the time I realized it, the damage had already been done." Watching him look so apologetic when I had been the one at fault made me frown even more. His words had kept on playing in my head. 'I hadn't meant to make her cry, I... I just wanted her attention more. She was too concerned about how others would view our relationship that she didn't realize how affected I was by that. I honestly only wanted her to experience how we would be with one another.' I didn't realize how hurt he could get with my decision. I had thought I was doing the right thing as that would help him keep his reputation."No I am sorry Alexios. I had promised myself that I would always be open with you and communicate my thoughts to you but I didn't which caused this misunderstanding. I didn't realize how hurt you could get because
Once again, I woke up both nervous and excited. Today will be the first time I will be seen in public with Alexios as his girlfriend."Sophia, Alexios is here for you." What? He is here? 'Why would he come so early?' I questioned myself as he hadn't told me of his plans to come over when we texted each other this morning. 'It can't be, can it?' "Here she is." Mom turned to me smiling. My eyes found Alexios. He was seated across of dad, he gave me a smile while I had to stop myself from smiling back at him. "You two had better leave now else you will be late." Mom who looked excited urged as she passed my lunch box to me. "Oh, by the way, will you be bringing her home later too?" I had mom ask which made me turn to look at her as I wondered if it was really okay for a mom to be this supportive of her child's relationship.Seeing the look from dad and I, mom chuckled awkwardly, "I want to visit the salon later today and I can't go this morning as I need to sleep. One can't actually la
