All Chapters of Deceiving Dimitri: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Leave me alone," I grumbled, pulling my blanket over my face. "Girl, did ya get your period?" Brooke questioned, oblivious to my situation. "No, she got hers a week ago," Blake answered, and then there prevailed a moment of awkward silence before he began stuttering, "I-I... uh... she... I..." I could just imagine the pair of tomatoes taking over his cheeks. "No need to explain, weirdo," Brooke grimaced. I could also imagine the face she was making at this given chance. "I-I'm not explaining.""Then what are you doing?""None of your business," Blake finally grunted. He was all sweet and shy until provoked. I could feel her rolling her eyes and driving her attention back to me. "Haze, come out already!" She pulled at my blanket, but anticipating her actions, I had my grip firm. "First you g

"Ms Green, you either listen to me, or the consequences will not be in your favor," Mr Cortez spoke, enunciating each word slowly.      I nodded, licking my lips. My heart throbbed in the corner of my chest like a timid cat. "I will do as you say."     "Good. Do not, I repeat, do not go near Mr Kingston unless he requires your presence."     I nodded again.      "He is beyond pissed today." Closing his eyes, he exhaled loud in relief. "Almost threw the globe at me."     "But what happened?" I asked, curious.      "Well, I don't know much, but," He leaned closer and whispered, "I think it has something to do with his mother."     "Oh." My eyes rounded in acknowledgement.      "I will go finish my

Rushing to the corner room, we came across a vexed Jaz. On noticing me, her jaw tensed. "This is my room! Take your filthy cloth out of here," she yelled. I glanced down on the floor where my hoodie rested now. A sense of heat rushed through my veins, burning everywhere they touched. I wished I could channel it straight to her face. Insted inhaling deep and exhaling off my anger, I stepped forward and bent down to get it when another hand grabbed it from behind. I straightened up to see Mr Kingston glaring at his sister. "What is this behavior with a guest?" he gritted out to her in a low intimidating voice that would send anyone running with their tail in-between their legs.Instead she let out a humorless laugh. "Guest you say? I thought she was here as an employee.""Jaz-""It's alright, sir." I cut him off, placing a hand on his arm. "It was my mistake. I should have asked first. I'l

I brought the knife up and down in repeated motion and chopped the vegetables in imperfect shapes of matchsticks while my mind paced in another dimension of thoughts. The scandalous incident from last night kept reiterating again and again in my head, and my heated cheeks refused to cool down.    I kissed my boss.    I kissed Mr Kingston.    Oh my God! How could I let myself lose control? But what was more frightening was that he kissed me first, even more so when those dangerous emotions swirled in his eyes before I left.    Yeah, I left.    I ran like the hellhounds were behind me, like the world was coming to an end and not once looked back. He must have thought I had gone loco for he never once called after me like he did the other times I ran from him.    It was a sweet nightmare. My heart fluttered at the same time it raced

The week was passing like a whoosh of the wind, and our pretence game went on full swing. From time to time, I'd catch him staring at me and other times, it was the opposite way around. The sexual tension lingered in the air, yet no one mentioned about that kiss ever. However, the strange glow on his face enhanced by the passing time like he was anticipating something good, best even, while mine dimmed. Something was going to happen that was for sure, but it would be favourable, I could not say. Two days before the occasion, Aunt Matilde dropped before me once again. The cheshire smile on her face, made me want to turn around and run, never looking back. Ever. But I was not so lucky, now was I? "Hazel, my darling!" she chirped in like a Weaver Finch, beautiful yet annoying. In this case, terrifying. "You've been working so hard. I have got you a half day break."   The news should have excit
