And I can't believe it but that's a wrap on I Hate You, Let's Kiss! This might be my favorite in the Watson Series, but so much more is coming! I've kind of fallen in love with the enemies to lovers trope, so the next story will focus on Joy and Julian finding love with people they don't particularly like! It's going to called Double Trouble, so keep an eye out for it! Thank you so much for reading! :)
*Willow*I was born with an arch nemesis. Most people go through life and then they meet someone who infuriates them beyond anything else they’ve ever known and they become their arch nemesis. But mine was chosen for me before I came into this world. He was born in the same hospital, the same exact day, and at the same exact time as I was. Nathaniel Watson. He was always trying to one up me. But I would never let him win. I couldn’t. My mom might turn to dust if I did.It was strange because I enjoyed everyone else in Nathaniel’s family. His mom Sophia was nice, despite what my mother told me. His older brother Gerald was totally hot, and told funny jokes to make me smile. His dad Scott was incredibly kind to me and always praised me. But Nathaniel…he was literally the bane of my existence. The fly in my soup, the splinter in my eye, the reason I knew the feeling of wanting to annihilate someone at the ripe age of twenty-one. Taking down someone as smug and annoying as Nathaniel
*Willow*Nathniel Watson tried to kill me!I knew we hated each other but was he that threatened by me? He had to actually take me out of this world in order to win against me? I guess I should be kind of flattered. I was surprised that when I flew off the stage I didn’t hit the ground. I opened my eyes and saw that I was in someone’s arms.Levi Kole. I’d only had the fattest crush on him my whole life. He was my sister, Scarlett’s godson and he was graduating today. I didn’t know a more dreamy guy.Light chocolate eyes, unruly dark hair, tanned olive skin and a killer smile. “You okay, Will?” He asked in his deep voice. “Um, I think you saved my life,” I admitted. “Then I’ve fulfilled my life long goal of being a superhero.”Levi gently set me down. “Thank you so much Levi…um here’s a diploma.” I smiled. “Why thank you.” Levi smiled back.“No problem.”“She’s okay everyone!” He announced. “She’s all good!”I made my way back up to the stage. Nathaniel was smirking. “You are a
*Nathaniel*Willow wouldn’t know what hit her this summer. I was going to have Orlando romantically and sexually distract her so that I could destroy her during the internship. I would be on top once more and the world would be right. “Do you have all your good ties?” Mom asked. “Appearance is everything, darling.”“Yes, I know, Mom.” I rolled my eyes. “I have all my best ties.”“Good boy. Oh and don’t forget your glasses, they make you look smart.”“Got it.”“And don’t forget-”“Mom, come on!” Gerald exclaimed. “We’re just going to the summer mansion. If he forgets anything, we can come back.”“Fine. I’m just trying to make sure he’s prepared. Willow continues to prove that she’s a force to be reckoned with.” Mom stated. “We’ll see about that.” I smirked. “I have a feeling I’ve got Willow beat for this internship.”“That’s my boy. Bianca was much too smug last night. ‘My Will got all A’s’ ‘My Willow has the highest GPA in her year’. You would think she actually accomplished those
*Willow*“Um, who are you trying to seduce with those clothes?” Joy asked. “Powerful men,” I laughed as I grabbed different colors. “Guess that was a Bianca Monroe idea.”“You’d be right.”“Mom said that?” Scarlett asked. “That woman is certifiable, I swear! When I was your age she thought I was a total slut.”“Well you did get pregnant by two men at the same time, Mom.” Joy pointed out. “And now you’re here, you should be grateful I was a slut.”“Look, Nathaniel said he’s hitting heavy this summer, so I have to use everything I can. Even my body.”“Don’t you want to get far on hardwork and merit?” Joy asked. “Hm…take forever to get somewhere because I’m a woman and let Nathaniel win…or fast track that by being super hot and in the process beat Nathaniel. Hard choice but I gotta go with the latter.” I shrugged. “Well, Mom you were alive long enough to witness the death of feminism, how does it feel?”“Historic.” Scarlett laughed. “We gotta hurry girls, we’re gonna be late for din
*Willow*Today was finally the day!The internship was starting. I had my new car, my tight outfits and my mind in the right place. Nathaniel Watson was going down. “Woah, Willow, you look great!” Levi smiled as I waited for my coffee to be done. “Thank you, Levi. I got a lot of new clothes just for the internship.”“They’re working for you.”“Morning all,” Joy entered the kitchen. “Lookin good, Auntie Willow.”“I have asked you on many occasions not to call me that! It makes me sound old.”“Is that why you have those wrinkles?” Nathaniel asked. “Wow, that would hurt my feelings if it came from someone with a higher GPA and a new Aston Martin, but…you don’t have those do you?” I smirked. “You look really trampy in that outfit.”“Oh no, I hope I don’t catch the attention of any powerful men.”“You’ve stooped that low?” Nathaniel asked.“When you go low, I take you to hell. You’ll feel comfortable there, it’s where you’re from.” I smiled, bringing the coffee mug to my lips.“No way
*Nathaniel*“What?” I asked. “B-but we just chose our partners.”“True, but the first lesson you’ll learn is to expect the unexpected,” Jude grinned. “Sometimes you have to quickly change gears and work with people you never have before.”Joy and Julian didn’t look too upset. They got to work together. Lucky for them.“Go ahead and move next to your partners.”Willow and I were in a standoff. “Are you going to come over here?” She asked. “No you come over here.”“Nathaniel, really?”I crossed my arms. Willow forced a smile on her face and got up. She plopped down in the seat next to me and glared at me. “I have to tell you something,” She whispered. “What?” I asked. “Your cologne is offensive and my nostrils burn.” “And you still look like a tramp.” Jude passed us all folders. “This is your first assignment. You have to find the bug in the system and eliminate it. You have until Friday.”“Don’t software testers usually do that?” Orlando asked. “Yes, but if you want to make it
*Willow*“You look incredible, Willow.” Orlando said as we sat down for dinner.I had on a tight blue silk dress. It looked a lot more expensive than it actually was. “You look handsome. So what is this sudden interest in me?”“I’ve always been interested in you. I just finally feel like you’re interested in me too.”“You’re not horrible to look at,” I grinned. “And neither are you.” Orlando winked. “So…what do I need to know?”“About what?”“About you? I mean all I know are the basics about Willow Monroe, but I want to go deeper.”I wasn’t sure if he meant sexually or mentally. I was open to both.“I wanna create my own company one day,” I said. “That I’m the CEO of. I want to show people what I can do. That I’m more than Scarlett’s sister. Or a vessel for my mom to win some crazy rivalry.”“I see. I feel the same way actually. Everyone just thinks of me as Emmanuel Ruiz’s grandson.”“What do you want to do with your life?” I asked. “Honestly? I have no idea.”I was kind of shocke
*Nathaniel*Willow wouldn’t even breathe in my direction for the next couple of days.She was beyond pissed with me and I loved it. We were given new bugs to find in our system since Jude didn’t want us ahead of the others. Willow always got to work in the computer lab first so she could take the lead. I didn’t mind. I was more focused on winning the next challenge.Today she was muttering under her breath the way she always did when she got hyped up. I was throwing this girl off just like I wanted to. “Psst!” I swiveled around to see Shauna. “What are you doing tonight?”“Why? You wanna wine and dine me?” I grinned. I was surprised when she nodded. “Yeah, actually…unless you’re not allowed out at night.”“I think I can make it happen.”“We’ll talk at lunch.” Shauna winked at me.Willow snorted. “What?” I asked. “She’s playing you.”“How do you figure?” “Look at her…then look at you. Look at her again. She’s the daughter of a supermodel, she can have any man she wants…why would
