MasukBy 2 p.m.,jace strolled into the library pausing as he saw maya,but she was not alone. Brian sat beside her, and they were both conversing. He sighed,his jaw tightening as he stepped closer. "What's your boyfriend doing here?" Jace's voice carried a cold edge. Maya looked up, frowning at his tone. "Brian is not my boyfriend.I was explaining a concep to him, " Maya clarified. Brian stared at jace,annoyance in his eyes as he spoke. "Anderson,we both know you are not here for the project. What exactly do you want from Maya?" Brian question made his blood run cold. He cleared his throat,his gaze on Maya's confused face before speaking. "We need to start our project,fuck off brian " Brian raised his hand in mock defense before smiling at maya. "See you around,davinci" she burst into laughter,"stop it" she spoke in between laughter,a sound that made jace froze. He liked her laughter but he hated that he was not the person who she was laughing with. As soon as Brian lef
Jace woke up the next morning,his eyes heavy as he walked down the stairs. He forced a smile as he saw the housekeeper,the woman who had shown up in his life a million times more than his mother ever did."Mrs. Jimmy,what's that aroma? " he asked curiously as he walked into the kitchen. 46 year old mrs. Jimmy smiled before gesturing towards the freezer. "Your favorite," she announced as she waited for his reaction. He opened it,his eyes widened. "Brown cookies? I thought you said you dont know how to make it?" He did not wait for her response,he grabbed two sets of the baked biscuit,opening the cover. He began eating it. He closed his eyes briefly as the sweetness hit him. He froze. Why did this cookie taste exactly like his mum's? "Did my mum come home last night?" Mrs. Jimmy froze. She smiled softly before replying. "Young master, she did, but she has gone to Japan this morning," Jace looked at mrs. Jimmy "And she could not wake me up? I haven't seen her in f
Her eyes widened when she realised he said that outloud, but thankfully, everyone was so busy to notice."Stop it." She muttered,rolling her eyes."Do you regret it?" he asked casually."What?" he smirked."Stop acting innocent. ""I don't want to talk about that,""But your entire legs are shaking,almost like you wnat me to touch you."Maya's eyes widened."Your words are crude!""So,yes or yes?"I.. forget what happened, It was biology.""bio..what?we kissed, and now its biology?" he looked at her teasingly before burst into laughter. She stared at him, strangely liking the sound of his laughter.she gulped, seeing how his dimple became very visible. She quickly looked away, trying to stop herself from blushing."I am sorry for the way I insulted you,"She smacked her lips,then slowly spoke."You did nothing wrong,but you made me feel uncomfortable. I hate unnecessary attention. "" i was just appreciating your art," His eyes scanned her facial expression as he spoke.She paused,th
Jace stared at her facial expression and the way it lit up when he asked."Did you draw that from your imagination?""I like using a reference,makes my drawing feel real," she spoke,her voice cheerful as she turned to him."You're good. I did not expect you to be this talented."She smiled softly,her eyes slowly scanned the classroom, and all eyes had turned to them."You are just making fun of me,""No,i am serious,babe,i-"He paused. He did not just call her babe,did he?!He cleared his throat as she smacked her lips.Babe?He quickly changed the topic."Why don't you let people see your drawing."She scoffed."Not everyone needs an audience."He laughed,his breath made goosebumps rise on her neck because of her close he was."You always know the answer for everything.""Fair enough,some people dont have rich daddy, we only have smart mouths," she replied him,her voice sharp and cold.He froze. He did not expect her to mention one of the people he had been trying to forget."It
The following morning,jace walked into the hallway carrying a fancy gift bag.His eyes scanned everywhere until he spots her about to enter into the class.He immediately walked towards her.The entire school was watching them already, and he needed to play his game well, so he smiled softly as he stepped forward."Hey babe." She looked up slowly to see him.She scoffed, picking her bag,turning to leave."I am maya. Not your babe.""Yet." She hissed,her gaze slowly went down, and as she noticed the luxurious shopping bag,she frowned."This is for you," he took the bag up towards her.She looked at him confused."I broke your headphones. I told you I was going to replace it,"She shook her head."You dont need to,I just need you to stay away." She muttered, then turned around to leave again.He sighed. What the fuck was her problem, he had never begged a girl before,no girl in her right mind would refuse a gift,an expensive one at that."Fine,we have a project together,i-""I can do it
"I.." He parted his lips, but she cut him off. "Just leave me alone! What do you want from me?" She yelled, fustrated as she turned to him. He sighed. Then slowly stepped forward, "I said I am sorry,besides you should be excited i am even speaking to you!" She looked at him in disbelief. "I actually don't need your apology,turns out you are still the fuckboy I dislike!" He stared at her confused. He did not understand why she was so different. Other girls would have fallen by now,was he losing his charms? "Fine, I would replace the headphone." He muttered softly. She shook her head,her hands wiping her face as she spoke. "No would do. I don't want anything from you. " He sighed. "Why are you proving so hard to get? Huh?" "Proving hard to get? Or not making my self easy to use?" Her words hit him directly where it hurt. He looked away guilty. "Fine, what do i do then? " "Stay away,thats all I need you to do." She spoke annoyance vivid in her tone before she walked towar
