เข้าสู่ระบบVera's POVI moved forward, my hand moving fast to grab my phone from his hand.As I snatched the phone from him, the last ring died and the screen went quiet. My head moved to look at Liam, already towering on his feet, looking down at me with obvious jealousy in his eyes."Chill Liam, I am going out with Queen."His face remained passive, like he didn't know who I was talking about."You know her right? The girl in my class that I walk with almost all the time."His brows raised up. He lifted his hand and placed it at the side of my cheek. "You are going on that friendship date with Queen right?""Yes." I nodded my head."I believe you." He said in a low voice, his features going soft.Then he dipped his head lower to match my height, and pressed his lips on mine, his other hand landing on my waist. The kiss was slow. I felt his hand slide lower, down to my ass, and stay there.I wanted more. My hand moved to grab the back of his neck to pull him closer but he gave my butt one last
Vera's POVI tapped on the message, and it opened the chat app. It was from Queen.A small smile came to my lips, and I started typing back right away.[Like right now?]Her reply came almost the same second.[No silly, tomorrow. We should have our first friendship date.]Friendship date.I stared at those words for a few seconds, then a slow smile spread across my face.[I like this. Where should we go?][We should go have fun at an arcade. You didn't come to school on Friday, so we have a lot of catching up to do, dear friend.]My smile grew even wider. An arcade. It had been a long time since I went somewhere just to have fun, with nothing else on my mind.[Okay, which arcade and what time?][10am. There's a nice arcade on Maple Street. Let's go there.]I nodded to myself as I typed back.[Got it. See you tomorrow.][Goodnight, Vera.]I dropped my phone beside me and cuddled closer to Liam, his gentle breath filling the ro. His warmth wrapped around me right away. Ohh, I enjoy bei
Vera's POVRing. Ring.That was the sound of the call I had placed across to Peter, waiting for him to pick up. This was the third time I was calling him."Pick up, Peter." I said as I rubbed the back of my neck, my fingers pressing into the tight muscle there."Sorry, the person you are trying to call is not answering the phone." The automated voice said, and then the call dropped."Great." I groaned as my hand dropped beside me. Then a thought crossed my mind. "I should send him a message."Immediately I opened the message app, tapping on the messages he had sent earlier. My eyes scanned through them.[You are ten minutes late but I am still waiting my pretty princess.][Hey, Vera. Coming already?][Not coming anymore?][I have been trying to reach you princess, I am still waiting.]My eyes read the messages again, there were a ton of them but I read the last bit of them. Then I swiped down my notification bar and checked why my phone hadn't rung out."Ohh shoot, I had put my phone
Vera's POVI stood in front of the mirror, dabbing the wipe across my face, wiping my make up off. A happy smile stayed permanently on my face, refusing to leave no matter how many times I tried to school my features into something calmer.My smart idea had worked. I really didn't know Liam was going to react this way to it.The way Liam had claimed me in the hallway against the wall, the way he had let some of his softer side out, the way he had told me he wanted me, the way his hands had gripped my waist like he was afraid I would slip away from him.My thoughts trailed towards the memory of us back at his mum's room. I dropped the wipe on the dresser and let my eyes drift shut, pulling myself back into it.~~~§§~~~"No, I don't." He said, not thinking twice about it."You're sure you don't love her." I asked again, my eyebrows raising. Not that I didn't know already, since the way he kissed her back at the party gave it away. But I wanted to hear it coming from him.His hand raised
Vera's POV"My mum." He let out, his shoulders slumping.His mum. I hadn't asked about her before, but I had looked her up out of curiosity, back when I first started wanting to get close to him."This place has beautiful memories of her." He turned to look at me, his gaze soft, tender in a way I hadn't seen on him before. "I wouldn't want to anything nasty here, knowing she might be watching from above."He loved his mother. Even though she was late, she still held a place in his heart."Do you miss her?" I asked softly, my voice almost faint. I didn't know why I asked, but I wanted to see this side of him, the part he kept hidden.His gaze drifted away from me. "Maybe. I don't know."He missed her. His face said everything his words wouldn't. They must have been close.My hand found the switch on the wall beside me and flicked it. Light flooded the room, forcing us both to shut our eyes for a second before they adjusted.I stepped forward, away from the door, my eyes staying on him
Vera's POVThe footsteps up the stairs sounded closer now. Liam's finger shot up to rest on his lips. "Shh."Then he grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the closest door. His other hand reached out, pushed it open, and he stepped inside with me right behind him.The door clicked shut behind us. My back pressed against it, one hand clutching the front of the dress he had torn, holding it closed over my chest. My eyes stayed on him the whole time as he stood close, watching me back."Was I too loud?" I asked, blinking as my eyes adjusted to the dim light of the room."I told you Brad coming up here depends on you. So yes, you were." He reminded me.My lips shifted to the side, and I bit down on the inside of my cheek."At least you lasted long enough before he made it up here." He said, throwing in a wink.My brows lifted a little. "But he isn't calling my name. He's calling yours."His mouth stayed shut, but his eyes did all the talking, the way he looked at me almost made me press my
Vera's POV"Yes, I am."I replied before I even thought about the words I said."Welcome." She said, still with that warm smile on her face.She stepped aside to give me enough space to enter.I walked into the office."Off you go to class, Liam." I heard her say the words behind me.I didn't look
Vera's POV His head snapped toward me just for a second. Then he looked back at the road. He held the steering wheel so tight I was sure the poor thing might break. "I just asked you a question." His jaw moved, and that was it. No words, no explanation… nothing. Like I wasn't in the same space w
Vera's POV I stood still, the glass of water frozen in my hand. What the heck? "I should be the one asking you that." He said with his eyes carrying suspicion. My eyes went wide as I stared at him across the kitchen counter. The same guy from last night. The same guy whose lips had pressed aga
Vera's POVLiam stopped moving right away. His face showed clear surprise. His hand pulled away from my waist so fast, like my skin had burned him."What are you doing here, Sarah? We broke up, remember?"His voice sounded more shocked than guilty.My chest was still moving up and down fast from ev
