บททั้งหมดของ SHE'S MINE ALONE: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

KELLY'S POV The Library? Gush why on earth had I chosen a library of all places. But on a second thought, I'm glad I did choose the library. At least it was crowded, that means we wouldn't be alone, and in essence there wouldn't be any heated emotional tension. Just maybe. The university library was a hub of academic activities with students either typing away on their laptops, poring over dense text, or muted chatters of students working in groups. And there was me, seated at an almost secluded corner, with hands clasped tightly together, fingers drumming a nervous rhythm on the table. My eyes darted towards the entrance, scanning the crowd for a glimpse of Jimmy. My legs bounced slightly under the table, betraying an attempt to appear calm. -Who was I kidding? No emotional tension. Here I was getting all nervous and fidgety at just the idea of him appearing soon. What more of when he'd be near?. Fuck! Secluded or not, it was impossible to keep it calm with J

KELLY'S POV: The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling burgers wafted through the air in the restaurant. The atmosphere relaxed and intimate as customers lingered over their meals under the dim light illuminating the space. I moved with a warm smile, taking orders and delivering plates of steamy hot food. While my best friend sat at her usual corner ready to cover for me. Again. As the evening wore on, my mind shifted to one thing, Jimmy. I had been checking my phone for any trace of message from him to no avail. "Uhh, I think your date is here." Anna whispered to my ear, her voice playful. I shot Anna a knowing look, my voice low and playful, "It's not a date. And you know it." But my eyes betrayed me, darting back to Jimmy, who was making his way towards me with a confident stride, a smile spreading across his face. My heart skipped a beat as Jimmy approached, the sparks flying between us like fireworks on a summer night. I felt a flutter in my chest as he wr

KELVIN'S POV I pushed my chair back and stood up, signaling the end of breakfast. "Later," I said, already heading towards my room to get ready for the day. After a quick shower and change, I grabbed my backpack and headed out to meet Kelly at our usual spot. The sun was shining bright as I walked towards the restaurant by the school street. I spotted Kelly's familiar smile as I walked in, and I made my way over to her table. "Hey," I said, dropping into the chair across from her. "Morning Princess, I was wondering why the restaurant sparked brighter this morning. Of course it's you emitting the light" I added,taking a seat across from her. "Morning." She smiled, her cheeks reddening. "You're such a cheeseball, Kelvin." She rolled her eyes shyly. "You think I'm being cheesy, huh?" I ached a brow. Just then a guy tripped on his way in,almost hitting the ground. I immediately pointed, seizing the opportunity to be even more cheesier. "Look at that guy, he can't even see prop

JIMMY'S POV Kelly walked out to meet me, I stopped pacing and turned to face her. My anger and hurt simmered just below the surface, but as I gazed at her, I felt a pang of admiration. She was beautiful, and it only fueled my frustration knowing that she had turned down my invitation, just to be here with Kelvin. "You were coming to the event all along," I said, my voice low and even, but laced with accusation. The words hung in the air, and I watched as her expression shifted, a mix of guilt and defensiveness crossing her face. "You turned down my invitation, and yet you're here with him," I added, the hurt and anger seeping into my tone. I couldn't help but wonder why it hurt so much, why the thought of her choosing Kelvin over me was like a knife to the gut. The tension between us was palpable as Kelly met my gaze, her eyes flashing with a mix of emotions. I could see the defensiveness rising in her, "Jimmy " She called. But I didn't back down. "You didn't want to

KELLY'S POV I settled into Jimmy's car, I couldn't help but steal glances at his chiseled profile as he drove on. My heart was fluttering like crazy, and I silently prayed he wouldn't bring up that intense conversation from the gala night. I didn't know if I was ready to have that conversation again. Jimmy's voice broke the silence, "Everything okay? You seem a bit quiet." I turned to him, trying to play it cool, and smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just enjoying the ride," I replied, hoping my voice didn't betray my nervousness. Jimmy's piercing gaze met mine, and for a moment, I thought he saw right through me. But he just smiled and focused back on the road. "You're beautiful." He muttered out of the blue, catching me off guard. My heart skipped a beat at the words,I felt a flush rise to my cheeks. Was it Anna's makeup magic, really? I tried to hold back my smile, but it slipped out anyway. "Thanks, Jimmy," I said, attempting to sound casual. But then, my curiosity got the be
