All Chapters of Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Hazel’s POVI’d never felt more naked in my life, not even in the literal sense than I did now with my kimono ripped away from my body. The cold air kissed my bare shoulders, but heat crawled up my neck from the stares at the poolside. “Dragon girl,” the cruel nickname came echoing in my head again, taunting even if no one was saying it. A word I thought I’d buried back in high school halls still had its power over me. The crowd wasn’t even hiding their curiosity anymore, some shocked in laughter while the others took out their phones. The flashes from the phone made me so dizzy that my knees started failing meOh no! Were they really videoing me? This is worse than high school, and I can never imagine, I will be trending on campus by tomorrow morning at the very most, in a very humiliating way.“What are those on her back?” Someone's voice cut through the chaos, loud enough for everyone to hear.“She’s such a freak,” Amber purred, her voice dripping with so much delight, and the so

Hazel's POV By the time Jaxon carried me into his room, I was shivering so hard that my teeth were clattering. Few minutes ago, I thought I was going to die until he came to my rescue.I held unto my towel so tight, using it as a cover over my bare back and shoulders because my kimono was ruined. My skin cringed at the thoughts of the stares that I got at the pool.He set me down gently on the edge of his bed. His room was warm, dimly lit, smelling faintly of his cologne and cedarwood. Normally I would have been more aware of how dangerously close we were, but all I could think was how he had saved me from drowning."Thanks a lot Jaxon for saving me from drowning even after I acted like a jerk." I finished, biting down my lower lips and hoping that my words will take away the awkwardness in the room.He crouched down in front of me, and looked at me straight in the eyes with a soft expression that I had not seen before, my heart skipped for a minute because I didn't know what to exp

Tiffany's POVI could still hear the music pounding faintly from the other side of the house as most people had left the pool and gone into the house, but all I could feel was rage boiling in my chest, with my face burning up in heat."Ughh..how dare she cross me" I muttered to myself through my gritted teeth That pathetic, nerdy little girl wrapped in a towel like some lost puppy had somehow stolen all the attention tonight. My spotlight. The party had been about Jaxon, about us, the team, the celebration about our victory at the rinks but then she had managed to turn the attention to herself. Even when Jaxon rescued her from the pool, she still couldn't keep her mouth shut. How has she even managed to get Jaxon to date her? She should be buried in her books and laptop as usual.I dug my nails into my palm until it stung. What was it about her? She wasn’t even pretty, so basic...ughh. She hid behind those ugly glasses and baggy clothes and her body was nothing special. So why did h

Jaxon’s POVI have dated a few girls right from middle school, and to be fair, it hasn't been so many girls as so many people would think, because for most of the time, I wasn't really dating. It was just me flirting.Speaking of flirting now, I am not sure of what was happening between me and Hazel anymore. We promised to fake things, but a few minutes ago, when we kissed, I could bet a thousand bucks that we crossed the line.My brain couldn't stop processing that damned kiss, yeah, that was part of the game, which I clearly wanted, but why was my brain overthinking it? Now I walked her downstairs like nothing happened, but every part of me wanted to drag her back into my room, shut the door, and kiss her again until neither of us could breathe.Her hand felt small in mine, but warm, and I kept holding it tighter than I should’ve. I didn’t want to let go, and Hazel somehow didn't pull away like her usual self. I felt her fingers trembling inside mine. Was she feeling the kiss too, o

Hazel’s POVIf the room was loud when Tiffany kissed Trey, then it was nothing compared to the chaos still going on after Jaxon and I broke their record.Everyone was clapping and chanting my name like I was suddenly one of them but I couldn’t hear any of it clearly because my head was spinning. I knew I was playing with fire yet every nerve in my body was screaming at me to replay the kiss again and again. I kissed him for one minute and thirty-two seconds.God, where did all that boldness come from?Jaxon leaned back beside me, holding my hand behind us like every normal couple except that we are not. He looked so damn calm, like kissing me in front of everyone was just another casual thing he did every other night.But for me? Nothing felt normal. I mean how could it be? I just kissed the Playboy in front of all these people. This is not my kind of life. Hell, I am not even supposed to be in this kind of party or let alone playing this game.I was still trying to catch my breath
