~RHEA~

My breath was caught in my throat as I stared into Zander's eyes.

He was close, way too close.

The air between us felt too warm and heavy. I could feel the heat radiating front his body, could smell the faint scent of cedarwood and something uniquely him.

It was distracting and dangerous.

“You're never going to let that go, huh?” I could barely recognise my voice. My heart was racing softly and it was getting harder to breathe.

Why was I reacting to him this way?

    ~RHEA~I was lost in my thoughts, staring into space when I felt a light tap on my back.I let out a light gasp before turning to Zander, who stood beside me with a confused look on his face.“You alright?” He asked, and I flashed him a small smile before glancing around.“Where did Mason and Kai go?” I asked, and he raised an eyebrow.“They left several minutes ago. Are you sure you are okay?” He asked, and I turned back to him.“What? Do you suddenly care about me now?” I joked.He let out a scoff.“No but I need to know if you're having a psychosis episode so I can check into a mental hospital” He retorted.“You want to get rid of me that quickly, huh?” “Is it that obvious?” He asked, and I rolled my eyes.“Well you're stuck with me for now, so let's talk about this whole face dating thing again so I can be really clear on what it is” I told him, and he sighed.“Just pretend like I'm Chase. You can do that, right?” He asked before grabbing his keys.I frowned at him.“Wait, you ca

    ~RHEA~ I had a smile on my face as I stretched my entire body.I had the best sleep last night, and God, Zander, had the softest and most comfortable bed on the planet.I never wanted to get up, but I knew I needed to. We still haven't gone over the deal, and I needed to prepare myself.I rolled around on the bed for a few seconds and froze as soon as I opened my eyes.Zander was leaning against the room door with water dripping from his hair and an amusement smile playing on his lips.He was dressed in casual sweats and looked like he had just gotten out of the shower.“I almost thought you were dead since you weren't waking up” He uttered, and I immediately sat up straight.“Were you watching me sleep?” I screeched, and he rolled his eyes.“Don't get ahead of yourself” He muttered, and my cheeks heated up with embarrassment.“Do you know what the time is?” He asked after a while, and I immediately grabbed my phone on the nightstand, which I didn't even remember putting there.I g

    ~ZANDER~ I stared down at my body, and I was covered in blood.My body shook as I used my hand to wipe the blood off in an attempt to get it off me, but I was just making it worse.“You are responsible for her death!” I turned to the voice and saw my Dad rushing towards me with anger written all over his face.Before I could move, he grabbed my neck and slammed me against the wall. I literally heard my bones crack.“I didn't…” I began, but the words wouldn't come out.“You killed her!” He yelled in my face, and instantly, I jolted awake.My heart was racing as I stared up at the ceiling, drenched in my sweat.Another fucking nightmare.I slowly sat up while massaging my chest. I guess I wasn't getting any sleep tonight.I let out a sigh as I threw the blanket off me and got out of bed.I walked into the bathroom and splashed some water on my face to help clear the aching headache that was brewing before staring at myself in the mirror.I saw blood on my cheeks for a second but it d

    ~RHEA~ The way he said that made my heart skip a beat. “What… what do you mean by that?” I asked and he smirked.“Let's hear your conditions, Ladybug” He urged and I narrowed my eyes suspiciously before clearing my throat.“Firstly, I need to know what this fake dating thing entails. We just have to show up in public as a couple, right?” I asked and he folded his arms.“You're the one that has been in a relationship, you tell me” He said and I pursed my lips as I thought over how Chase and I were in high school.The thought made my chest ache but I pushed it aside.“Okay, I guess we can hold hands and…”“Just hold hands?” He asked and I paused.“I don't…” He moved closer, halting my sentence.“Did you just hold hands with Chase?” He asked and I frowned.“No but…”“Rhea” He called out my name with a serious tone before leaning down so he was eye level with me.“We'll do everything that a couple does. That including, touching and…” His eyes trailed down to my lips. “Kissing if need

    ~RHEA~ I walked away before Zander could say anything, and I mentally cursed myself for my reaction.Why had I reacted that way? It was none of my business who he fucked.“Rhea, wait up” Zander called out from behind me and I let out a sigh.“Please just leave me alone” I muttered And was about to hail down a taxi when he grabbed my wrist and spun me around.My breath hitched when I saw that he was still very much shirtless.“You could have at least had the decency to throw on some clothes before running after me” I muttered as I glanced around and noticed we were getting odd stares.“Well your reaction confused me so I had to come clarify what the issue was” He responded and I scoffed.“There's no issue. You found another woman to be your fake girlfriend so I was taking my leave. Congratulations” I muttered and tried pulling my wrist away but he just tightened his hold.I looked up and he had an amused glint in his eyes.“Is that jealousy I sense, Lady bug?” He asked and my heart

    ~RHEA~ “Rhea…” Chase began, but I ignored him as I ran after Zander.“Zander, wait!” I yelled as I tried to catch up with his stride.I stopped to catch my breath as he unlocked his car. He still hadn't looked at me or spoken a word.“Are you mad at me?” I asked, and he only scoffed before getting into his car. Before he could drive off, I opened the door and climbed in, too.“What are you doing? I thought you wanted to stay with your precious chase?” He uttered sarcastically.“Zander, you don't understand the dynamics…”“And I don't care to understand the dynamics. If you don't have any self worth then that's your fucking problem” He muttered and I frowned.“Why are you being so mean?” He scoffed.“Oh so the golden boy Chase can be mean and inconsiderate but I can't? Why?” He asked and I gaped, unable to say anything to counter his words.“Zander, listen…”“No” He said coldly then let out a humourless chuckle. “I don't need to be involved in this shit, I have my own problems. You

    ~ZANDER~ Something was seriously wrong with me.Because for the last twenty minutes, all I could think about was a girl in a stupid Ladybug shirt.It made no fucking sense.Girls like her were exactly the kind I stayed away from, the ones that were too bright, too innocent looking and too soft.

    ~RHEA~ I wanted to look away but I couldn't.My eyes stayed locked on Zander Cole as if they had forgotten how to function properly.Water still clung to his skin, sliding down the sharp lines and tattoos on his chest before disappearing beneath the towel hanging dangerously low on his hips. Ever

    ~RHEA~ I had blacked out from that day.The last thing I remembered after running out of the stadium was calling my dad while hysterically crying.It wasn't the silent tears I had grown accustomed to, it was ugly and bitter. The kind that clawed its way out my chest until breathing itself hurt.

    ~RHEA~ “You know how much I want you, Rhea. You know how much I want to fuck you” Chase murmured as he pressed me up against the wall, sliding his fingers down my thigh.“Tell me what you want” He whispered into my ear and my heart slammed rationally against my ribcage as I stared up at him.“I
