"What the hell are you…" Jessica could barely complete her statement when he traced his tongue gently on her lips. His mouth gave off the sweet scent of a mixture of Berries, cherries, and plums and she could tell he was highly intoxicated with red wine. His lips only left hers when he felt the need to stop as they were both almost out of breath. He paused briefly and ogled into her eyes with a sly smile dancing around his lips. Jessica lost herself in his emerald green eyes for a moment but as she stared at him, the little flash of lust disappeared and was replaced by a burning rage. She hated it when someone took advantage of her vulnerability. "It must be your first time here and I will definitely make it memorable!" His husky voice hit her ear and his touch sent shivers down her spine. A stranger pressing her to the bar stand and kissing her so passionately without her permission was so not acceptable to her but it looks like he keeps track of everyone in and out of this
Cruz understood the effect he was having on her but just couldn't understand why she was going to such an extent to embarrass him in front of everyone. "You're just the worst of men!" She replied, gritting her teeth angrily while trying to cover her torn dress from him. He noticed this and forcefully removed her hand from the dress to have a last look at her smooth and slender thighs. Jessica struggled to free herself from the monster in disguise before Leah and Tyler came to her rescue. "Leave her alone! Are you out of your mind?" Leah asked angrily as she struggled to push his hand away, her turquoise eyes narrowing at him. "What the f*ck is wrong with you? Have you finally lost it?" Tyler asked as he pushed him away and freed Jessica's hands. As soon as she was free, she quickly held her dress with one of her hands while she used the other to wipe out the tears that were trickling down her eyes as she ran out of the club. "Wait, Jessie!" Leah shouted after her and looked at
TWO DAYS LATER Coming down to the class areas of the best private school in LA - Royal High Academy, Jessica thought there was nothing to be nervous about but standing in front of the class, her palm suddenly became sweaty and her tongue went dry. This was her first day in the school after she almost lost her job and definitely, she was bound to get nervous. "These are just teenagers!" She alleviated herself before finding the courage to go in. "Good day class!" She greeted as she stood on the podium and almost all the 20 students dropped whatever they were doing to reply to her except one who pretended to be sleeping as soon as she entered the class. "Good Day ma and welcome to our grade." They chorused. Jessica took her time to introduce herself to them before allowing the students to introduce themselves one after the other until she got to the last student who was still resting his head on his desk. Jessica walked towards him and fondled his fluffy dark golden brown hair sl
A WEEK LATER Jessica stormed the 12th grader class in a Straight at the bodice, dark blue denim mini dress with a collared neckline, three-quarter length sleeve, and an a-line hem for added movement. Then she topped it up with sleek sneakers and a white round channel bag, her long caramel hair packed in a neat high bun. "Mr. Cade Westham. Get out of my class!" She affirmed as she dropped her laptop on the podium and connected it to the whiteboard projector. All through the week, she never allowed Cade to be in her class either willingly or not. "You can't just keep sending me out of the class just because I decided to skip it once. I paid for this and you can't deprive me of this privilege." Cade retorted as he stood up to his feet. "You paid for it, right? Report it to your parents or the school management. But until then, GET THE F-- GET OUT OF MY CLASS!" She yelled and Cade had no other choice than to stomp out of the class and head to the admin's office. Jessica continued h
"Oh welcome, Mr. Westham! How are you doing?" Mr. Logan, the school proprietor, greeted with a broad grin as he stood up from his seat and walked towards the couch arranged circularly just in front of his desk. "I'm very good and you?" Cruz asked, as he also walked in and had a handshake with the proprietor. Jessica was embarrassed by her reaction but thanks to the pleasantries the men were exchanging, she quickly returned to her seat, her eyes staring down at her sneakers. Mr. Logan offered Cruz and Cade a seat across Jessica while he sat on the singular couch relaxing on his desk. "Miss Vegas, we meet yet again," Cruz said but Jessica just sighed and looked sideways, her hands resting on the sides of the couch. "So, Miss Vegas, I hear you're having some problems with Cade here, can you tell us about that?" Mr. Logan requested, gesturing toward Jessica. Jessica immediately sat up and removed her hands from the couch, fixing her gaze on Mr. Logan, "I don't have any problem w
The crowd slowly dispersed as soon as the ambulance left with Cade and Cruz and soon, Jessica was alone sitting on the ground. "This is all my fault! I shouldn't have been so harsh!" She kept mumbling to herself as she bit her lower lip. She stared blankly at the ground forgetting that she was in the school area until a young lady in a red mini gown and a black ankle strap pump walked towards her and bent down to tap her shoulder, her long black hair sweeping Jessica's face briefly. Jessica panicked upon her touch as she was tugged back to reality. "Miss Vegas, are you alright?" Miss Willow asked as she helped her to her feet. "I-I...I'm fine." Jessica stuttered. "Is this your first time witnessing an accident?" She wondered but Jessica was too shocked to speak as she just kept staring into space. Mr. Willow is a Chemistry teacher for the 12th graders and she shares the same office with her so she helped her to their office and her desk. "What is wrong with her?" Miss Cale
Two other nurses pushed a new stretcher toward Cruz and he was immediately laid on it. They knew well that Cruz would never agree to stay out of the operation room even though he was already practically losing his mind so they had to take extreme measures. "Take him upstairs, and place a few securities there until we are done here." Mrs. Robertinstructed and the nurse did as instructed before she also entered the Operation room. Some nurses prepared the main VIP operation room on the third floor. Soon a few notable surgeons at the hospital surrounded the operation room and each taking turns to be the first and second surgery assistants for the operating surgeon. A few hours to midnight and Cruz woke up to find himself laying on a medium-sized hospital bed in the VIP ward. "Cade!" He called out as he jumped up from the bed and walked toward him Just when he attempted to open the door, Mrs. Robertpushed the door open first. "Where is Cade? Did you already perform the surgery?
"What is wrong with you now?" Leah asked worriedly as she hurried into the room and met Jessica holding the wooden chair beside the table for support. Jessica was lost in thought for a while. "What if something bad really happens to him? How will I ever be able to forgive myself?" She thought aloud, her head dropped down in guilt. "Jessica! You think too much! Westham Pharmaceutical is the best hospital in LA with great doctors like Cruz himself. Cade will be fine. The best you can do is pray for him." Leah advised, removing Jessica's hands from the table and holding them. Jessica slowly raised her head and her teary eyes met Leah's worried ones. Leah raised her hand and wiped off her tears, "Let's join, Tyler now or he will be worried. " She suggested, gesturing to the door and Jessica sluggishly dragged her feet out. Even though Jessica tried to take her mind off him for a moment, it was just so impossible, and immediately after she had noticed Tyler and Leah were done wi
