Serena woke up the next morning thinking of what to wear for her date with Jaxon. He wanted her to wear the blue heart necklace. Anything that would go with the blue heart necklace had to speak of luxury. She didn't bring any dinner gown with her, except one which she wasn't sure was good enough.She turned off her airplane mode and a text came in as her phone refreshed."Do you have any problem getting dressed?" The text from Jaxon said.She was glad he could come to her rescue, but she didn't need him to buy everything she wanted.Before she could think of what to text back, she heard a knock on her door.She wrapped her robe around her body and opened it. Her hair was a mess, but she couldn't care less. "I think it's too early in the morning," Serena said as she yawned with half-open eyes.She was surprised to see two attendants in front of her, both were females. The way attendants kept showing up at her doorstep was freaking her out because she didn't pay for any exclusive serv

Jaxon was still surprised to see that she arrived early. The driver had texted him when he picked her up, but nothing prepared him for the beauty he was looking at in front of him.She had curled her hair, she looked even prettier in makeup. He fought everything in him that wanted to know the fragrance of her lipgloss.The dress, he had underestimated her. He thought she'd pick the longer dress, but she went for the shorter one.He loved it, the way he outlined her curves and showed her smooth thighs. His eyes moved to her hands as they clutched her purse. She also had her nails done. It thrilled him that she had put in effort for the night. Maybe he was having an effect on her after all.Most importantly she hadn't forgotten the necklace, it lay on her chest just on top of her cleavages. "Someone really went all out for this." Serena's voice interrupted his thoughts."Someone else was also very expectant, she arrived on time." He scoffed."I keep to time, I don't like to delay peop

Serena had waited for Jaxon to go back inside his room before retiring to her bed. She felt angry and stupid. He had told her he was staying with his relatives the first time they met. She supposed he did not know where she lodged at the time.Now, she had every right to believe they hadn't met by chance. He knew where she was staying, he had probably been watching her from his room.He had been following her that day. The thought of it was creepy. Had she been involved with a stalker?Remembering the previous night, she winced as she lay in her bed feeling sorry for herself. A lot of thoughts streamed through her head, she wasn't sure what to think. If he was a bad person or had ulterior motives, he had her right in his palms.She stared at her phone screen for a while, then opened his chat. There wasn't any new message from him. She had told him they weren't going to see each other, so she had expected him to text or insist on seeing her if he liked her.She hated that she had fe

Her neighborhood was just like she had left it. Young boys playing soccer on the field, teenage girls giggling as they strolled into the busy part of town, bending their waist with so much force just so they could gain the attention of the boys.Serena chuckled as she watched a group of girls from the cab. She remembered when she was just sixteen and she used to be proud of being the one the boys wanted. She never accepted any of them, except one though. He was hot and nice, he would buy cupcakes and ice cream for her each time he came around. Hadley ate most of it. He was her first kiss, she had fantasized so much about it since every girl loved to talk about it.She didn't want to have her first kiss with just any boy, but she thought Andre was the right guy. So she followed him to the cinema one day with Hadley in the front row just for company. Hadley knew to comport herself in situations like that, so they hardly noticed she was with them. Thirty minutes into the movie, Andre's

Filling Hadley in on every detail of her trip was inevitable. As soon as she got back from her neighborhood with the rest of her belongings her Aunt had dropped off with their neighbors, Hadley gave her a "spill it" stare while they ate dinner.There was no leaving out Jaxon, Jaxon was what she enjoyed the most out of her trip and Hadley loved to hear boy gossip. She lived for it.She squealed with excitement when she told her of their makeout session in his car. As Serena narrated the story, she wished she could live the experience a second time. But she was back to reality and her everyday reality wasn't the prettiest. It was taking an ugly turn. One where she couldn't spend her time daydreaming about a guy she met on a vacation."Can I see the necklace?" Hadley's cheeks flushed with excitement. Serena nodded and signaled with her mouth full of potato salad that she'd show her after they finished with their food.When she got it out of the box, it gleamed and caught every bit of li
