Chapter Eighteen
EMILY
Alice Lutz, the supreme beauty, prom queen, cheerleader, perfect hour-glass figure, and she was super nice. I didn’t have one bad thing to say about her.
The car windows were fogged up. I stayed there, watching the car pull out of the parking lot and zoom off.
My throat clogged up as different scenarios played inside my head. Seth and I weren’t exactly exclusive, at least we hadn’t had any kind of conversation that would suggest it but I thought it was obvious we wouldn’t fool around with someone else while we did it with each other.
He’d also sworn off from having sex with me so maybe he was making sure he was getting it from somewhere else.
Tears began welling up in my eyes as I drove home.

It was midnight by the time I came back to the studio. I’d texted Emily letting her know that I wasn’t going to make it to

EMILY I made a huge mistake. Not only had I been rude to Seth but I'd also called him a man-whore which was completely unacceptable. Seth wasn't mine. I mean at least not now. He hadn't given me any indication that I was his girlfriend so I had no right to say things to him that I had. Things from last night were irreversible. He'd looked hurt, and it killed me when I went to bed. The next day during lunchtime, I'd spotted him with his teammates. His dark brown hair was tousled, a few unruly locks swept on his forehead that were soft and smelled like cedar and woodsy with a twinge of refreshing peppermint. I knew that because I'd spent the night, running my fingers through his hair and smelling it. The next day, I'd sneaked into his bathroom to check the shampoo label and bought the exact bottle just so I could keep it and sniff it occasionally. Seth was just really really good-looking with his strong jawline, kissable lips, a goofy g

SETHI guess I could tell Emily the truth, but leave out the important details. She wanted to know about my past, and I knew that she only meant to do that because she was genuinely curious to get to know me, but there was no way I was going to talk about the shit-storm that I left behind in Connecticut. That was a can of worms that I would never open.Moving to Bountyville to live with my mother was meant as a fresh start, and talking about that now just beat the purpose of what I’d initially started out to do.“You told me your dad lives in Connecticut. What does he do there?”“He owns a farm and a small departmental store. I used to help him with both.” I shrugged. “Like I said, nothing special.” I couldn’t meet her eyes, not with the stuff that I was hiding.When I dared a glance towards her, she had a smile on her face as she sipped on her coke. “Did your father remar
The Jock's Secret Crush Chapter Twenty One
EMILY Seth's emerald eyes turned a shade darker, glittering in the dim light, his nostrils flared. I watched as his gaze swept slowly from bottom to top, lingering over my chest a little longer."Shut the door." He commanded in a gravel thick voice. I closed the door behind me and stepped inside the room. "Come here." His hand was raised towards me. I walked to him, feeling my heart beating against my chest, desire flickering to life. He put his hands around my waist, standing between his thighs while he was sprawled in the revolving chair. He had to look up at me due to the height difference now. I placed my hands over his shoulders, feeling the heat of his body through my palms. "Emily, this is wrong. You understand that, right?" His voice had a deep baritone, he swallowed, "I'm your housekeeper, and you're..." "I know.""Your family employs my mother." I igno
The Jock's Secret Crush Prologue
SETH I’ve been living a pretty fucked up life for as long as I can remember. After mom and dad divorced, all I have done is bounce between two homes, one where I was told I wasn’t needed, and the other where I wanted to be but couldn’t because hey, the judge don’t feel the same. And that was the start of when everything went from bad to worse. I could write sagas about the shit I have done, but that book would be like five hundred pages long and a story so sappy, it would make the strongest person cry. And I wasn’t here to open old chapters, or rewrite them, or talk about it. I wanted to forget, I needed a clean slate and coming over to stay with my mother was the best option. I had moved forward in my life. I’d come really close to destroying it, but the stubborn bone inside my body wouldn’t let me. Here I was in a small town of Bountyville with no one having a clue as to what kind of a person I’d been. I planned to
The Jock's Secret Crush Chapter One
EMILY Life is tough. I don’t know about anyone else but it’s always been tough for me. Be it school, or making friends, I’ve always struggled with it. I’ve noticed how natural it comes to some other people like my brother, Cale. He’s an example of how to become an extrovert and a nerd. He would party hard, study the day before the exam, and... Viola! A fucking ‘A+’ I study all year and I get a C. Well, that probably goes to show how dumb I am. Kidding. I’d swallow the largest ice-berg in Antarctica before admitting that in front of my brother. I stand on the weighing machine and look down at it. I was pretty sure I’d lost a few pounds when I tried dieting last time. I reached for my leftover extra cheesy slice of margarita pizza and took a bite of it. I looked into the mirror and that’s when my confidence deflated. My family always told me not to worry, and that I looked great, that being chubby was the
The Jock's Secret Crush Chapter Two
SETH I shouldn’t have done that. I know. I shouldn’t have left without a word, but you could say that Emily-Mae made me nervous. I remember the first time I’d seen her a few weeks ago. I’d gotten shit-faced that night but I hadn’t forgotten her face. I had no memories of that party but she had stuck with me, and I’d continued to look for her. Sometimes spotting her in the hallways and before I could think of striking a conversation with her, she’d disappear. We didn’t even take any classes together so I didn’t know her name that time. And then one afternoon during lunch, I saw her sitting in the campus garden alone at lunch under a large tree, eating out of a brown bag, typing something in her Macbook, and I was sitting inside the building, looking at her through the glass walls. I was surrounded by the members of my ice-hockey team who were goofing and talking about some shit that I was barely interested to sit through. My a
The Jock's Secret Crush Chapter Three
SETH Emily was just plain sweet. There was no other word to describe her. She had her feet firmly planted on the ground, which is to say, I hadn’t gotten any kind of ‘rich-snobbish’ vibe from her.She came from a rich lifestyle, I needed to deal with it.I wonder why people would be mean to someone so nice and sweet.What had she ever done to them?“I brought you a fresh bedsheet set. It’s brand new, and no one has used it yet. I can help you put it on.”“Okay.”I could have easily made the bed myself but I was kind of reluctant to ask her to leave. I wanted Emily to stay here and keep talking.“All done.” She said a while later. “I can help you arrange your clothes in the wardrobe as well.”“There’s no need.” I blurted out.Her face fell, ”Oh. Okay.”“I...I mean...there’s no n
The Jock's Secret Crush Chapter Four
EMILY He seemed uncomfortable throughout the movie for some reason. Or pissed, like super irritated. What was wrong with him? Was it me? Had I said something to make him mad? We were watching The Proposal, and I don’t know why we’d even chosen that movie because I wasn’t paying attention to it, I spent most of my time staring at him. “Are you mad at me?” I asked. “Why would I be mad at you, Emily?” He asked, “you’re my employer. Employees don’t have a right to be mad at their boss.” “Boss’s daughter you mean.” “It’s the same thing.” He retorted. “Would you like to watch another movie?” I asked him, changing the subject. I was eating the macaroni like a hungry buffalo, “this is sooo good.” “Thanks.” He said, exiting the movie, “I don’t like watching sappy shit. You’re okay with watching horror?” I hated horror. Like completely. I didn’t do creepy clowns, serial killers, or haunte
