Chapter 6

Adele's POV 

My eyes fluttered open but I closed it back quickly cause of the light that shone on my eyes. I wondered where I was. I adjusted into a sitting position and opened my eyes slowly until it adjusted itself to the light in the room. I looked around the room and saw that I was actually in my room. 

How did that happen? Thought I went to club last night? How did I end up being here... I suddenly remembered how I started feeling dizzy and weak after I took from the drink of the guy I thought was a gentleman. 

It seemed Huxley saved me, right? Was he the one who brought me here? I have different thoughts going through my mind. I turned to my left and picked up my watch, I was stunned to realize that it's just 3 in the morning. I fell back to the bed. I planned on asking Huxley how I get here by morning. 

I have lectures to attend by 8AM so I woke up a couple of hours later and went to dress. Once I was done, I walked out of my room and went straight to Huxley's doorstep but it was locked. Has he gone to school already? Without even waiting for me? Well, it's good that he didn't wait for me, though, I shouldn't even be bothered about whether he chose to wait for me or not. I don't want to have anything to do with him anyways. 

I only had to come to his doorstep because I've got questions about last night. I walked downstairs and saw my dad and Blair eating breakfast at the dinning. 

"Hey Adele," my dad called me happily. 

"Dad, I'm almost late for lecture, see you later," I quickly walked out and was soon inside my car. I was truly almost getting late for lecture so I can't afford to eat with them cause I'm sure my dad would want me to eat before heading to school. 

Once I got to school, I walked quickly inside the lecture room and just a few seconds later, the lecturer walked in. A few minutes into the lecture, I noticed that there was an intense gaze boring holes on my body. I had tried not to divert my attention from the lecturer to whoever was looking at me but I really couldn't help it at this junction. 

I had to turn my gaze slowly and saw Huxley looking at me with his fresh, cute and sexy face.

"Damn it!" I cursed underneath my breath and looked back to the lecturer. Why was he looking at me that way? Gosh! In class? What was he trying to acheive by giving me such a killer look? I purposed not to look towards his direction again but even at that, I still couldn't concentrate on what the lecturer was saying. I just can't concentrate again. 

"Adele, will you help?" I suddenly heard the lecturer suddenly say. 

I blinked my eyes and adjusted well on the chair that I was, help with what? How in the world did I miss whatever he wants me to help with. 

While taking time to respond to what the lecturer said, all eyes were already on me. 

"Are you fine?" The lecturer asked concernedly. 

"I didn't get that, sir...I mean ... What did you want me to help with?" I asked, hoping I'm not embarassing myself with what I just said. 

Huxley suddenly raised his hand and the lecturer gestured for him to stand, he stood and differentiated between 'income and revenue.'

"Perfect," the lecturer said after which he gestured for him to sit back. 

"Thank you," Huxley said and glanced at me with a smirk across his lips as he sat slowly back. 

I gritted my teeth in anger as I clenched my fist hard, he was the one who diverted my attention otherwise I could have answered that question so easily. It's not like I didn't know it. I was found of answering queations in class, it's the more reason why many guys classify me amidst the bookworm and nerd of the class. And I'm sure that was why the teacher called on me to answer the question. 

But the way I acted when the question was suddenly thrown at me made me feel embarassed. 

Once the lecture was over, I packed my stuff and looked towards Huxley's sit but he had already left his seat. I stood up quickly and ran outside only to see him taking the large steps before the lecture hall down. 

"Hey," I called as I walked swiftly to him, once I got beside him, I rebuked, "you caused what happened inside there. I just got myself embarassed before the whole class all because of you." 

"Good morning, princess," he looked at me with a seductive smile and took his gaze away. Why did I even take notice of his pink lips? 

"Good morning but can you answer my question?" I asked, this time, we have left the stairs and were now on the bare ground. 

He turned fully to me and said," I think we can talk about this when we get home." 

"Why?" I asked impatiently. 

"We have never even had a second talk before at school, what will people think when they start seeing us together? You won't want them to think that you are one of those girls flirting with a playboy, right?" He asked with a smirk still planted on his lips. 

"The fuck!" 

"I guess I should leave... Just doing this for your sake," he said. 

"I don't care what anyone say. We are now brother and sister, when people get to know about this, they will know I'm not flirting with you," I said. 

"Stepbrother and stepsister you mean?" He asked gently then whispered to my ear," stop going to clubs, it doesn't fit you." He then turned and walk away before I could even say a word. 

Why won't he answer my question? And as for what happened at the club, I already intend on asking him. Now I can't wait for us to get home where I will get to ask him about what happened at the club amd also warn him not to dare to stare at me that way in class anymore. 

I paused and thought, he's my stepbrother, yet I'm taking note of all his features! Holy jeez! I need help.
