Xavier’s POVXavier stared at the boy in front of him. Two weeks, for two good weeks he had ignored him, wanting to forget about him and the stuff in Hawaii but every day, every single day, instead of hating him or forgetting him like he had hoped, he had found himself being drawn to him the more and now, here he was, making the first approach. Isn’t he cursed? He almost laughed at himself. In those two weeks, he had tried to understand himself, he had gone to club, meet women, talked to a few, made out with a few but none, absolutely none of them had succeeded in getting this boy out of his mind.He had also visited gay clubs, got hit on by a few but none attracted him like the boy in front of him. He even forced himself to entertain a guy in the club by giving him his full attention but when the guy had touched him, he had felt irritated. And nearly had a fall out with the guy when he wanted to force himself on him. Well, if it wasn’t for the bouncer, Xavier was sure he would have k
Nathania’s POVNathania tossed and turned on her bed. Sleep was impossible like it has been for the past seven days. She still found it hard to believe that she had kissed Xavier. Whether it was only for a second, it was still a big deal for her. She found herself thinking back to that night for the thousandth time. When she had decided to kiss him, she had placed a bet that he would laugh it off, punch or, push her away or withdrew himself. Nothing, absolutely nothing had prepared her for the fact that Xavier would stand his ground and that she would kiss him.She could still remember how shocked she was and how Xavier had stood staring at her, not saying anything or even shouting at her. She on the other hand had been to shocked to say a word and if it wasn’t for Teresa coming out for that moment and saying that she had been looking for her, she wondered how she would have escaped Xavier that night because she had used Teresa as an excuse and also begging Xavier to take her home bec
Xavier’s POVXavier had just walked out of the nerd house, feeling angry at himself for coming second yet again in the competition and this time, he only had one person to blame: Oliver. Right after that night of tasting his lips, even though it was just for a second, Oliver had gone around avoiding him. Even though he would purposely sit on his bike to wait for him to arrive, as soon as Oliver does and saw him, he would quickly park his truck and make an excuse to rush inside the school. Once Xavier had run after him but seeing how the few students that had arrived then were staring at them, he had let Oliver go and never was able to catch him alone.Now as he stood in front of the Nerd house, about to go down to his bike, he saw a silhouette walking down the streets and he guess he has embedded the way he looks and walks inside him for he knew instantly with one glance that that was Oliver. As he wondered what he could be doing there and was still considering whether to call out for
Nathania’s POVNathania couldn’t understand what was wrong with Xavier. If he called her Ollie, it means he knew it was her, that he knew her as Oliver and yet he was being this touchy? She couldn’t understand him, she was finding it really difficult to read him. A part of her was telling her that he was teasing her, and the best thing to do was to react by pushing him away and calling him out on his actions. However, to think it was one thing and doing it was another. Her hands were placed on his chest and his body warmth burnt like a scorching fire, yet she couldn’t take her hands away. She could feel his muscles underneath his shirt and all she wanted to do was to rip the shirt open and feel those abs skin to skin. However, she had to remind herself who was in front of her. Gracious, it was Xavier for crying out loud.“You are not speaking, what’s the matter? Cat caught your tongue? Or in this case, is it me?” Xavier asked, his voice was playful, proving to Nathania that she was ri
Nathania’s POV Nathania parked her truck in the lot, for once since she could remember, she couldn’t find Xavier’s black bike in the lot. She had come a little late herself but Xavier seemed not to be coming in today and she wondered if it was because of that night in the alley. Right after Xavier had broken the kiss, with both of them breathless, she had pushed him and ran out of the alley. A part of her had thought he would follow but he didn’t and neither did he contact throughout the weekend. She had been restless, so restless and a lot of times she had picked up her phone to call Teresa and ask for his number but not once did she carry it out.Even when she sees Teresa’s call, her heart would miss a beat before she would answer, hoping that it was him that was calling with Teresa’s phone but not once did that happen. And now, here she was in the parking lot, after calming herself down with the fact that she would see him today and that they would talk about everything and only f
Nathania’s POVIt’s been three days since the announcement in the assembly and no one has seen or heard from Tyler. Chloe had slipped into coma and no one knows when she would wake up. Everyone was looking for Tyler and even his parents had filed for missing person report as Tyler has not been seen since the night of the accident. While it was a big news in school as everyone was wondering what could have really happened and while Tyler had ran away from home, Nathania was more worried about Xavier and why he was acting and living like she doesn’t exist. He has not said a word today and when she would try to approach him, she would always chicken out, afraid of what he would tell her or what she would say to him.Not able to take it anymore, she decided to approach him in a way she wouldn’t have to be afraid or worried with how he would treat her. She dressed in a nice floral gown, her long hair was let down and she tried to apply a simple and light makeup. Satisfied with how she look
Xavier’s POVXavier had laid out the invite before he could take it back. He had wanted to go to the gig after watching the competition but now looking at Nana, he realized that she would be the perfect distraction for him. He lifted his bike seat and fetched out a spare helmet, he turned to her with a smile. “I promise to have you home before your grandma notices.”Nathania laughed. “I wasn’t worried about that.”“Then where you worried at all?” He raised an eyebrow, eager to know what she must be thinking.“Well,” she shrugged. “It was one thing to have a late dinner with you in my town and it’s another going to the city with you at seven in the evening.”“Oh,” Xavier nodded. “I can see what you are doing there. You still haven’t gotten the bad boy theory about me out of your head.”“Would you blame me?” She laughed, “look at yourself, do you think anyone would believe you are a nerd?”“I’m a nerd and I take pride in it.” He chuckled, enjoying the little banter.“Oh really? I bet a
Nathania’s POVOn getting to the bar the gig was holding. Xavier said to her, “I have never brought anyone here with me before. You are my first guest.“Will you be playing?” Nathania asked with hope, she had longed wished to hear him play.“Nah, I don’t have my guitar.”“Oh,” her hope was dashed by those few words and it seemed like Xavier noticed for he said.“But, if I can get someone to lend me theirs, I wouldn’t mind playing a piece for you.” He winked when she looked up at him.“That would be lovely,” she smiled and he offered her his hand for her to take. Nathania was surprised but she didn’t let it show and just held his hand and Xavier shocked her more by linking their fingers. He didn’t say anything and just led her inside the pub. Nathania could feel her heart beating but it wasn’t out of fear. When they stepped inside though and she saw the men inside the pub, her heart dropped into her stomach. It was like walking into a room filled with mob. Kind of like the expression s
In Adrian’s hand is a black thong. Celine, my BFF in New York had bought it for me the day we went shopping. I have never worn it and seeing Adrian holding it like a prized possession both embarrassed and made me blush. I looked away from him to hide the colors on my face. “I…I have never worn that.”“Really? What a shame,” he shook his head. “How about you wear it now? I will be your spectator,” he smiled.“Get out of my bathroom, Adrian.”“Oh come on, the party is just about to get started, don’t push me away,” then he started taking step after step towards me.I retreated each step he took. “Don’t come any closer, Adrian.”“But I want to, besides, I’m being a gentleman by bringing this to you immediately I realized you forgot it.”His lying, I can remember that I put that thong in the bottom of my drawer. I’m sure he must have removed a lot of my panties to find it, yet he chose it. “I don’t want to wear it, thank you.”Adrian smiled, “but I want you to, you will look very beautifu
Adrian looked at me with amusement in his ocean blue eyes, “you told him about me?”“Of course she told me,” Max said. With the look in his eyes, I could see that he liked Adrian and that doesn’t make me happy one bit, now he won’t let me hear a word. “You are even more than I expected.”“Really?” Adrian asked, “in what? Handsomeness or personality?”Max glanced at me, “I like this guy,” then to Adrian, he said, “both actually.”“Thank you,” Adrian bowed. “I’m liking you more than your sister actually. The first time I talked to her, she told me she hates me straight to my face.”Max laughed, “to be honest, I expected you to be gone a long time ago. It’s amazing she didn’t make you leave with her tongue.”“Oh she tried, but I’m a strong-willed person. At the moment she hates me five times,” he glanced at me, “right?”I rolled my eyes, “make it six.”“You heard that?” He asked Max, “but no matter how much she hates me, you have my word when I say I’m not going anywhere.”“I’m Max,” Max
“You didn’t discuss this with me first,” I accused.“I’m sorry, but it’s because I knew Adrian would agree,” Christy said.“We came together and now you want to leave me here?”“Of course not, I asked Adrian to take you home, didn’t I?”“I can’t believe you.”“I’m sorry, please, hmm? I will call you tonight, okay?” She hugged me and kissed my cheeks then she waved at Adrian before grabbing Daniel’s hand and running away.“Can you believe that girl?” I shook my head.“I can,” Adrian answered, “now, what do you want to do?”“You are impossible,” I started walking away.He followed me, “what did I do? I actually agreed to take you home, you should be thanking me not being angry. Where are you going?”“Home,” I answered.“That’s not the way to my car.”“Well, I don’t want to be in your car.”“Christy asked me to take you home.”“Then you can go tell her I said no.”“Don’t be like this pigeon.” I ignored him, I continued walking out of the park, “don’t make me take extra measures.” Yeah ri
“What? What about your sister?” I asked Adrian.“Don’t worry,” he said, then waved at a young woman who was sitting aside, her long blonde hair tied up in a tight ponytail. She should be in her middle forties, I guess. Oh my God, she can’t be his mom right? I don’t think I’m ready to meet his mom.The woman stood up and started approaching us, I could feel my palms sweating, why am I even afraid? I have no idea. When she got closer. She smiled at us and I greeted her, Christy did too. “Susan, you think you can watch over Avery?”“Of course Adrian, I see you want to go out with your friends,” the woman addressed as Susan said. I breathed a sigh of relief, she is not his mom, phew.“Yes, you can call Vin to take you home when she wants to leave, I’m afraid, I won’t be able to drop you guys off.”“I understand,” she smiled.Adrian walked up to Avery where she was playing, “hey mousy, I’m sorry I have to go.”“Why?”“Sorry mousy, but my friends want me to go with them, don’t worry, Susan
I stared at the little girl in shock, “girlfriend? Why would you ask that?”“I saw him kiss you and I have never seen him kiss a girl before,” she shrugged.Oh dear, if only she knew that he had kissed tons of girls, I wonder if she would ask every one of them if they are his girlfriends. I ran my fingers on her shiny white hair, loving the silkiness of it and momentarily wondering if Adrian’s own would feel just the same, “no dear, I’m not his girlfriend.”“Really? But who are you then and why would he kiss you?” Avery asked in her little voice.I bit my lower lip, thinking of what to tell her, what is Adrian and I? I don’t know anymore, I know he is my enemy at first, but after last night in my room, I don’t know what to think of him anymore and he is certainly not my friend. “I heard you call him genie earlier, right?” I avoided the question.She beamed, “yes, he has been my genie since I was born. That was what he told me and he granted me all my wishes, whatever it was and he sti
“Adrian!” I shrieked, letting my eyes roam his body, he was putting on a black jeans with a black jacket on a red polo. I searched for the logo I was bound to see and I wasn’t disappointed, it was labeled on his jacket and on the red converse he was putting on. Great, even his converse is Louis Vuitton, just what does he see with the brand? Why don’t you ask him? Yeah right, ask him, in my dreams.“Maybe when you are done checking me out you can take the ice cream before it melts away,” his voice sipped into my mind, shutting my subconscious up.I looked up at him, to his handsome face, no, I mean his ugly face, “first of all, what are you doing here?”“If you hadn’t noticed, it’s an amusement park and everyone is allowed to be here,” he answered.I nodded, “were you stalking me?”He raised an eyebrow and then a smile made its way on his lips, “stalk you? Pigeon, you just have to make a wish for that to happen.”“That’s not what I mean you idiot, I mean, how did you know I was here?”
I met Christy at the student parking lot after school. The boys hailed me when I passed, especially because of the stunts I kept pulling from my first day. Some girls looked at me as their heroine while some looked at me in envy, what’s my reaction to all these? Nothing.My day had turned worse when during the final period, Adrian still didn’t show up. It's official, he didn’t come to school today. Can you actually believe that? He was with me last night but he didn’t mention it to me that he won’t be in school, why didn’t he mention it to me? Why are you bothered? My subconscious asked, that’s true, why am I bothered? Shouldn’t I be happy that I was free of his troublesome self for at least one day? Yes, I should be happy. But even though I felt like shouting that to myself, I wasn’t happy.“Earth to Molly,” Christy waved her hand in front of me, I blinked continuously, “really girl, where have you been? Did you even hear anything I said?”“Uh huh,” I nodded but the truth is, I heard
When I opened my eyes in the morning, Adrian was gone, I tried not to think of what happened last night or the fact that I found his voice melodious but I couldn’t. I had to remember how sweetly he sang and I knew for a fact that whenever I hear Once upon a dream, I was sure to remember him.I didn’t realize I was smiling until my door opened and Christy stood by it, “why are you smiling like that?”“Huh?” I asked, forcefully drawn out of my thought, “I wasn’t smiling.”“Yes you were and funny enough, I know that smile, so be out with it,” she shut the door behind her and approached me on the bed. Sitting down, she asked, “what happened?”“Nothing, besides, why are you here early?”“I am not early, you woke up late and may I know why you are still in bed? Lady, we are going to be late if you don’t get into that bathroom now.”I sighed and got out of bed, “you can call me to let me know when you are coming.”“That I cannot do because I will forget, now rush in there and tell me why you
Thirty two“What are you talking about?” I decided to act dump, I might not understand what is happening to me, but what I do know is that I am not going to fall into his games, no, I will not, I shall not.“Oh pigeon, do you just want me to say it? You know what? Why don’t I just show you instead?” He started leaning his face towards me and I turned my face in time for his lips to land on my cheek.He looked at me then and I took that opportunity to remove his hand from my waist, “you seem to have forgotten something, Adrian, you don’t have the right to kiss me whenever you want.”“You wanted it before.”“I never wanted it, I never said that I want it, you only assumed which is very wrong of you.” I pushed him slightly and sat up, he did the same and I rested my back on the headboard, “I mean, what makes you think I will want to kiss you? Maybe I should remind you again that you are not my type and that I hate you? Five times hate you actually.”Adrian sighed and joined me in resting
