"What did you do to me ?" I sob silently.
His cold stare is not leaving me and I'm about to freeze up. How can I be so stupid to drink that cocktail whatever.
" What did you do? Why am I wearing your clothes?" I ask. I'm standing in front of him and he barely looks away.
" I don't know what you're talking about."
" What do you mean? Why would I wake up in your bed dressed in your clothes? How could you touch me?"
" What?" He smirks.
" Are you trying to tell me you won't be able to know if someone touched you?" He asks and that rings a bell.
" Ariel..." I heard dad's voice this time. I know I'm good as dead. I quickly slip on my pajamas bottoms with a t-shirt and rush downstairs. " Dad." " What's this? Chatting with your boyfriend?" Mom asks, glaring at me and showing me the screen of my phone. Even if I really can't clearly see the writings on my phone , I know what she's talking about. " What did we tell you about discipline?" Dad roars. " I.. it's not what you think." I stutter. " It's not what we think? What do you want us to think? That last night you went out to party , then you got drunk and you drove home with a total stranger and you slept with him . Ariel you
I shove the phone in my bag and walk inside our house. Mom and dad are having dinner with Leslie. They seem happy. They talked and laughed and it's really great. I ignored them and walked past them but mom stopped me. "Your dinner is served." " Thanks mom." I reply and rush upstairs. I toss my bag on my bed and climb downstairs to eat. I've been starving and I didn't even notice. I sit close to Leslie and pick out a fork to eat after praying. " So sinners do pray ?" Mom teases, drinking her glass of juice. I secretly roll my eyes and continue eating. " So how are you enjoying your job at Sandy's ?" Dad asked.
We stopped kissing but that didn't break us from that sudden drama. He leans his forehead against mine as his eyes meet mine. And that was when I got back my senses. I just kissed a boy , not just a guy , but a tatted stranger Gray. I flinch and move away from him. He smirks and shoves his hands in his pockets. I wanted to speak but my eyes couldn't help but check him out. Even if I was a nerdy depressed introvert , I could obviously tell when I see an absolutely pretty person. He was one of those. His toned self would make any normal girl lick him all over. But I wasn't that normal girl. " Why did you do it ?" I stutter. " You liked it." Of course I don't. Or maybe I do. " We should stop this , please. I re
Gray looks at me before walking out of the restaurant with his order. Alexa squealed with a victory dance and that made some customers chatter amongst themselves. Leslie faked a smile and giggled. " That was sudden." " That's how to get a boy. Learn from the best." " So what are you gonna do when he calls you?" Leslie asks. "We booked a hotel and..." She wiggle her brows and smile. " What if he doesn't call you?" I choose to ask. "He will. Everyone likes a good pussy." She winks and drinks her coffee. I feel weird like
"Are you okay?" I blink my eyes open and I'm in my room. I sit up at once and rub my temple. Alexa was beside me while mom, dad and Leslie just watched. "When did you start having a panic attack?" Dad asks and crosses his arms. "I don't know. I'm fine." "Have you gone to therapy lately?" Alexa asks as she touches my forehead. "Yeah. Guys I'm fine. Thank God that crazy argument is over. I should be looking forward to starting college." I sigh and rub my nape. Mom breathed in as she walked out with dad. Who knew they care this much about me. Leslie faked a smile and followed them.
~GRAY~ Nervous , pretty , cute , smart and sometimes strange. That's what I see Ariel as. Her beautiful dark brown eyes always seem to make me look at her every second without even noticing. Each time I look at her, I see a really shy girl who's afraid of men. She's beautiful , Enticing and worst still sexy and I bet she doesn't notice. There's something in her that draws me close to her without even thinking about precautions. I don't wanna scare her away with my bad side. "Gray." She calls out totally taken off guard. What's she doing here? Looking so goddamn irresistible. She makes me want to do dirty things to her. Hold her so close to me and kiss her
~GRAY~"Boss, Trent is on the phone." Manny says stretching my phone at me. I huff irritated , and butt the cigarette on an ashtray."Speaker.""Gray..." Trent's thick voice speaks through the phone."What ?""What happened to our bargain , Gray ?""We're still partners Trent. I'll send my boys over to San Francisco tomorrow. You okay now ?""Yeah. I'm opening my new casino tomorrow. It's gonna be a honor if you'll be there.""I'm not your girlfriend, Trent." I blow out the smoke of the cigarette as I rest my head on the couch."Gray." Trent's voice calls out through the phone."I'll be there.""Sure thing."Manny hang up the call and drop the phone on the coffee table."Gray." I heard that familiar voice as she walks into my house.Her black tight skirt hugged every of her large figures as she fits perfectly on her white dress shirt. She throws a brown envelope on the glass table and s
"I'm calling mom and you're dropping out of college.." those words were like ice but right now I don't even care. I'm tired of being treated like trash. A ten years old."Ariel.." Alexa call my name as she walks into my room. Stopping right at my door frame she looks at Leslie's red face and smirk."I'm not a prophet but I'm sure someone almost got murdered."For some awkward reason Leslie fears Alexa. And they are both same age."Sup Leslie. You don't look good but don't worry we will talk about it once we're back. My boyfriend's waiting downstairs , got to hurry." She grab my hand and blow kisses at Leslie before we walk down the hallway.We step into the elevator and I'm still quiet. I hate being threatened. And without doubts after this party something bad is definitely gonna happen."You look pretty." Alexa smiles at me to lighten the mood.I fake a smile and sigh."Look I don't know what happened b
