Frenemy to the Rescue

Devon’s Pov

CHAPTER NINETEEN

It was 3 o’clock in the morning by the time I arrived at the club. Sending a nod of acknowledgement to Mike, my brother’s best bodyguard and head of security, I was granted access, avoiding the long line of people that were still waiting to get in.

I saw a few of the people send glares and jealous glances my way, but I paid no attention to them. I made it inside, and immediately, I was assaulted by the sound of loud music, sweat and laughter.

I made my way to the bar, grinning as I found my favorite bartender, Gordon working the tables. “Boy, aren’t I glad it’s you I found working this place tonight.”

“I am the best. Ain’t I?” Gordon returned as we made our signature handshake.

“Don’t get over yourself.” I returned, smirking at him as I took a seat on one of the barstools. I grabbed my phone from my jacket, wanting to text Harry to let him know that I was here, but as if summoned, he turned up at the counter all by himself. I

    The morning afterCHAPTER TWENTYAlexaA light ray of sunlight fell across my face, its warmth tingling on my skin. Taking in a deep breath, and then breathing out a second later, I blinked my eyes opened.I was greeted with the sight of white walls with a cool grey authentic, instead of the bright and definitely feminine colors of my room. Realizing I wasn’t in my room, I sat up, and instantly, I regretted it. My vision blurred, the earth tilting on its axis. Out of nowhere, my head started pounding. It felt like my skull was being used as a local blacksmith’s stone. “Fuck.” I groaned out.There was a soft but firm knock on my door, and then it was creaking open. Devon’s face peeked in, and then he was muttering a soft “Hey.”“May I come in?” he asked. “Sure.” I replied. “Fuck this headache.” I groaned out, squinting my eyes in pain as the thumping in my skull became more insistent. “Do you’ve anything for this?”“I figured you would feel this way this morning, and so I brought you

    My New Boo?CHAPTER TWENTY-ONEAlexaA Few Weeks Later“Home Sweet Home.”I stretched my arms wide, taking in a deep breath of fresh sea-salt air at the beach. God, I had missed this place. Having been gone all summer, I hadn’t realized how much I would actually miss my home town. Cyprus was a great place to spend time with my parents, but as the saying went, “East or West, Home is the best.”“The sand feels so great between my toes.” I sighed, squishing my toes in the sand granules, feeling them as they flowed through the spaces in my toes. The beach had always been my go to place when I wanted to celebrate something, or when I was always happy.Deciding it was time for a swim, I decided to hit the waves. I swam for hours, and when I started to feel a little sore and pale, I left the ocean, walking to my spot under an umbrella where I managed to leave my beach towel, sunscreen and my beach bag. Laying out my towel, I lay on it, body laid out as I sun-bathed. After what felt like hou

    A change of heart? CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO Devon’s Pov I couldn’t stop thinking about the way her lips felt on mine. So soft, pink and luscious. Up until today, I had never thought of Alexa that way, probably because she was already taken. Plus, only recently, our relationship had grown to somewhat friendly, something like an unspoken truce. We had been enemies from the start, since the time we had laid eyes on each other. But these insane thoughts hadn’t stopped plaguing my mind all afternoon. Sitting up from the sofa I was lying in, I let out a groan of frustration. Harry, who was sipping his coffee from a large white mug that read “Caffeine Addict” turned an inquisitive eye on me. “What’s got your knickers in a twist?” Deciding that confiding in him would probably turn out helpful, I explained. “I got kissed this afternoon.” Harry arched a brow. “I don’t see how that’s a problem or a bad thing.” “Well, it’s just that…I don’t think this girl is into me that way.” “Do you like h

Go and see him.” Stacey yelled through her excitement. “Go? I don’t even know what’s he’s going to say?” “Go and find out then. You are acting like a really dumb person.” Stacey laughed. I just rolled my eyes at her. “Fine. Fine. I’m going. What do I wear though? Do I look okay?” I asked, gesturing to my denim black shorts and red tank top and fuzzy slippers. “You look cute, but change into something comfortable, something that won’t make it seem like you are being too forward. Like you didn’t put too much thought into it?” “Like jeans and a tank?” “Exactly. Gosh, you sound like you’ve never done this before. Relax, babe. Don’t think much into it.” Stacey advised. “Ok. I’ve got to get ready. Tell you all about it later.” I promised. “Bye. See you soon.” I said, then hang up. Looks I was going to meet Devon. The air was cool and

I stared at it, shocked at how warm it felt on my skin. Nevertheless, I hadn’t expected him to touch me.“Relax. Your leg has been going a mile per minute, and I can hear the wheels turning in your head all the way from here.”“I just can’t stop thinking. What if…” all this was a bad idea? I didn’t dare complete the sentence. Looking at him, I knew he could tell what I was going to say. A few weeks before school could start, we had spent a lot of time together, enough to know about each other so we could keep our fake relationship going and convincing.This being our first day, we had both agreed he would drive

    It's OfficialChapter Thirty OneAlexaSchool resumed, but I could hardly concentrate throughout any of my classes my mind constantly wandering back to that night. He had sounded so genuine, so hopeful and optimistic about his feelings. I wasn't a fool not to realize that he had meant each word, but at the end of it all, I had turned him down. I so badly wanted to say yes and jump in his arms, screaming my lungs out in both excitement and happiness, but that hadn't been the case. All my fears and doubts had come rushing down, forcing me to question everything. It was then that I decided I still very much needed to work on myself. I had to be true to myself before I could be true to anyoneanyone else. Devon especially. It wa three months going on four since I had broken up with my ex and honestly, I wasn't sure if I was really ready to get into another relationship.

    I caught feelings-pt.2CHAPTER THIRTYAlexaI fought him, the moment my brain recovered it's functionality. Initially, I had frozen, shocked at the unexpected turn of events, but that was no more. I struggled in his arms, using my nails to scratch him wherever I could reach, trying to break free from him. When that didn't work, I bit him, as hard as I could until I tasted the metallic taste of blood, but all through that, Devon didn't let go or stop. He had a gentle but firm grip on my face. His kisses remained gentle, coaxing and soothing. His teeth nibbled on my lips, gently begging as he sucked and licked, using his lips where words weren't spoken.I felt myself begin to go slack in his arms and when I couldn't hold back my own pleasure from his kisses, I decided to kiss him back. Everything began at a slow tempo, light and passionate, with Devon's hand gently caressing my face and following a path to my hair. Suddenly, he pushed his tongue in my mouth, seeking entrance, and I le

It wasn't for long though and I expected him to return this weekend. It was after school hours and Stacey and I were currently hanging out in my bedroom as she filled me in about school's latest gossip. "That's crazy. ""It's crazy what kids these days will do for a grade. Mandy literally did all that for a B. Granted, her dad had promised getting her a Porsche, but if you ask me, going down on our teacher in the Chemistry lab was going a little far. ""Well, now Mr. Terry is facing 15years in prison and as a registered sex offender and pedophile. But if we're being honest here, he'll probably not be making it out alive, especially not with Mandy's father's influence. "We both stayed silent, soaking in the information.

I leaned back against my back, crossing my arms with a shit eating grin as I watched Alexa squeal in excitement. I had come up with the idea after much thought, and I was glad it was actually paying off. "Yeah. I remember you told me about it a few months ago and that you hadn't been to one since you were a kid." I explained as we both made our way to where the tickets were being sold. Grabbing my wallet, I paid for our entrance tickets. "You actually remembered?" She sounded like she was touched. "Of course I did. I looked up one online and fortunately found one that wasn't far away from where we lived." "Devon..." Her adorably eyes rounded beautifully as we made eye contact and I couldn't help but smile at her, scratching the back of my head. "I just wanted to make sure you got to have fun." A sweet silence echoed between us, both lost within each other's eyes. The moment ho
