All Chapters of How Not To Fall In Love With The Bad Boy: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Keisha’s POVMy mind wandered as I got out of my mom’s car and headed into the school. I didn’t see Jake while we were heading home yesterday evening, his car wasn’t in the parking lot either. I found myself staring out of the window of my room several times, trying to catch even a glimpse of him, but he wasn’t in his room almost throughout the day. I was even tempted to go to our former hideout, the abandoned basketball court, but what would I say if I met him there? Would it be weird if I claimed to be mad at him and still ask him why he left and then came back all of a sudden? Of course, it would be weird.“Hey, Keisha. It’s your favourite day, Monday. Why do you look like you suddenly hate it?” Yuri asked as she ran over to my side.I groaned as we headed towards her locker, we made a quick stop before walking to mine. And he was right there, leaning on his locker with a basketball in his hand. Lucas said something to him which made him tilt his head backwards and laugh.God! He

Keisha’s POVI swallowed the lump in my throat as Joshua opened the door wider, Rowan stepped in with a smile on his face and textbooks in his hands, but his smile dropped as soon as he saw Jake sitting on the couch beside me, then his eyes moved to the books on the table in front of him. “What a pleasant surprise.” He said to Jake who was also staring at him with surprise on his face. “You didn’t tell me he was going to be here.” He directed that to me.Before I was able to answer, Jake cut in.“It turns out I love studying just as much as you, brother.” He said in a bored tone.Rowan walked to us, his eyes never leaving Jake’s as he dropped his books on the table and sat on the couch too. It was obvious they both didn’t like what was going on. Well, I didn’t like it either but I was going to find out they acted like this towards each other, so I had to endure.I sat in the middle of both of them, to prevent them from setting themselves on fire with their hot gazes. I inhaled deeply

Keisha’s POVMy eyes snapped open and I jerked him off me with a speed I didn’t know I possessed. He groaned in pain as he hit the floor with a thud.Thanking God for the distraction that made me come back to my senses, I scrambled to my feet and created some distance between us. “I’ve warned you not to kiss me again.” I said, trying to make my voice hard, but it only came out breathless.“I just couldn’t control myself. There are some things I have no control over, especially when I’m around you.” Jake replied as he got on his feet.My stupid heart skipped a beat at his words. This wasn’t part of the things I had in mind. His actions and words weren’t supposed to have an effect on me anymore.I brushed what he said aside and gestured for him to get out through my window, “get out, now!”He groaned as he moved closer to me instead of the window, I took two steps backwards with every step he took until my back hit the wall.“Jake, out. Now!” My voice came out like I was pleading, I ha

Keisha's POVRowan's lips were just a few inches away from mine. I closed my eyes and waited for the moment. A car nearby honked loudly, making me jump away from Rowan like we were doing something wrong."Oh my God!" I exclaimed as I tried to calm my racing heart. I looked towards the direction the sound came from and found out it was from Jake. He sat in his car, looking as innocent as ever. He refused to look up at me but I knew he did it on purpose. He put the car on ignition and sped away from where Rowan and I were."Are you alright? You look really frightened." Rowan said as he stared at me worriedly, there was a bit more to his expression, but I couldn't figure out what else it was."Yeah, I'm fine." Apart from the fact that that jerk just ruined my chance to kiss prince charming.I looked towards the direction Jake's car had headed. He definitely did that on purpose. He didn't want me and still didn't want me to be with someone that will make me happy? What kind of a selfish

Keisha’s POVWas I dreaming? I pinched my arm to see if I was. No, this was real life!Rowan was really asking me to be his girlfriend in real life!!“Oh my God, yes! Yes!” I screamed excitedly, I ran into his waiting arms. He hugged me, lifted me off my feet and spun me around before placing me back on the ground.It was almost unbelievable, Rowan was finally my boyfriend. “Thank you so much, Keisha. You don’t know how much this means to me.” Rowan said, grinning from ear to ear. He gave me the bouquet and took out a jewelry box. “I want you to wear this as a symbol of our relationship.” He opened the box, revealing a gold necklace with a heart pendant, my initials were carved on it.“Wow! It’s so beautiful.” I said as I examined the beauty.“Let me wear it for you.” Rowan stood behind me and placed the necklace on my neck before clasping it in place. I touched the pendant and looked up, that was when I saw Jake staring at us from the end of the court with a mixed expression on hi
