ARABELLA. I look into his eyes and his gaze is soft as he rests it on me. Alexander proceeds to surprise me by saying, "I'm sorry. " My eyes widen and I watch the bob in his throat shift a bit as he keeps his eyes locked on mine. "What? Why?" I ask and he says, "I thought that'd be the right thing to say. You're in this because of what I did, aren't you?" "No. " I respond to him and when he narrows his eyes, I say, "Maybe a bit, but the fault doesn't entirely rest on you. " "You have eyes all over you because I kissed you. I think the fault pretty much rests on me. " He argues, moving his hand and I shake my head. "It doesn't. People here will find things to talk about, so that isn't a surprise. It's just a matter of time before they find someone else to pick on and I become history. " "What?" I smile when he hums and he says, "Nothing. You just reminded me of something. " "Oh. " I mouth and he nods. "I'm not taking it back, though. " "Taking what back?" "My sorry. " He cl

ARABELLA. "Look who I found. It's the innocent one. " I look into the mirror at the mocking voice to meet Nina's eyes and a smirk rests on her face as she stands behind me with her arms crossed to her chest. I don't say a word as I fix my school shirt and turn to walk out of the restroom, only for her to grab my arm and twist me back to her view. She glares at me. "I'm speaking to you. Did you just try to ignore me?" "Get your hands off me. " I tell her calmly, but that only seems to infuriate her the more. "Still trying to act like the good one?" "What do you want from me, Nina?" I sigh and she seems to be surprised at my words, but manages to catch onto herself quick, masking her expression with a hateful one. "What I want from you is to stay away from Alexander. " A chuckle leaves my lips at those words, remembering the occurrence from last evening. I take a glance down her body then meet her eyes again, "And if I don't want to?" She smirks now, pushing her face closer to

ARABELLA. "Hey. " I stop glaring at my locker at the voice and turn my head to see Sabrina staring at me with excited eyes. "Hey, Sab. Do you need something?" I ask and she turns her head sideways. "No. Actually, I want to ask something from you. Do you mind coming to my party? I'm throwing one tonight. "I gaze at the outstretched pink card. "And you made cards for that?"She frowns. "Why? Is it bad? I thought it'd create better awareness. "I chuckle at her cuteness and take the card from her. "No, it isn't bad. Just the first time I'd see anyone make these for a party, but you're unique, aren't you?"She beams as I take a glance at the card. It has her name and her face on the front with nothing at the back. "I'll try to make it. ""You must. " She warns, pointing her forefinger at me and I nod. "Sounds like I just might with that face. ""Excited! Thank you, girl. I'll see you tonight?" She lifts a brow and I nod. Then she squeals once more before she walks away. I shake my head

ARABELLA. His other hand is moving to my waist, bringing my entire body to him and I grip the back of his head, pressing his face closer to my neck as sparks of pleasure fly through me. Alexander pulls back, his eyes roaming mine for a second and then his mouth is back on mine. He sinks his teeth into my bottom lip and I whimper, giving him access as he slides his tongue in, tangling against mine in a battle to give and take, in which he's doing an incredible job. I feel high and it feels like my head is in the clouds each time our lips drift apart then come together. His lips are hot and wet against mine, it has an exciting rush whisking through me, and something so wrong has never felt so right until this moment with this boy. "Oh, sorry. I didn't think– " He's quick to break away at the sound of the voice and his hand shifts to the back of my head, using it to press my face to his chest, shielding me from the gaze of whoever is at the door as he responds. "Do you need someth

ARABELLA. "You're ready? " Ashley asks as I stride into the living room and I hum, moving around the couch to give Winnie a peck with a pull of her cheek, to which she smiles before I straighten up. "I don't hear Dex's car. " Ashley says when our eyes meet and I nod. "He isn't here to pick me up. " "Why? Is he alright?" She questions and I move away from her view. "He should be. " Ashley turns her head to me, the all too familiar questioning look on her face. "Do you want to explain?" "We're sort of not speaking at the moment. " I tell her and she lifts her brows, "And what's the reason for that? Best friend's fight?" "We had a disagreement over my choices. " I explain and she smiles. "That sounds like something that always happens. " "He wants me to stay away. " I reveal and she leans over the couch. "And are you going to do that?" "I don't want to, but what alternatives do I have if he doesn't want to speak to me? " I raise my shoulder and Ashley holds out her hands to me.

DEX. I'm walking down the school compound when I see her and I don't fail to recognise the wavy hair that I've got loads of pictures of on my phone. She's sitting on the bench with her legs pulled out before her and her headphones over her head, slowly nodding along to the beat of whatever she's listening to while rocking her legs gently and a smile pulls to my lips at her cuteness. I slip my hands into my pockets and make my way toward her. She doesn't take notice of me when I reach her side, but the minute I start to settle on the seat next to her, she lifts her head, her wide eyes meeting mine and for the thousandth time that I've seen those blue eyes, they manage to knock me out of my breath just like every other time. When she starts to pull away, I open my mouth. "No, don't. Please don't. " She doesn't say a word, only stares at me with those big eyes and I continue. "You don't have to leave, please. Take your seat. I won't disturb you, I promise. " She seems to think abou

ARABELLA. I stare at the words, each second that the three dots on the screen appears and disappears sending a vibration through me and finally his text comes in. ALEX: I will. For now, Goodnight Arabella. A smile creeps to my lips at the wish at the end, and I turn the screen of my phone to the desk as I press the side of my head to it, my hand hovering over my mouth to hold back the sound that threatens to break through. I turn my head to the other side and shut my eyes, different scenarios running through my mind at once and each ends with the same thing– anticipation. Moving my head from the desk, I stare down at the space between my thighs and his voice echoes in my head. Your curious little fingers trying to find where exactly to give yourself pleasure. "You're screwed. " I murmur to myself as I take my hand to the front of my shorts to feel my wetness. Groaning at the touch, I move off the chair and stride to my closet. Grabbing new shorts plus panties, I stroll in

ARABELLA. PETE: I can't wait to see you tonight. I close the screen and hurl the phone into my pocket as I enter the living room and settle by Ashley's side. She turns to me and I open my mouth. "I've got a question that needs your view. " "What's it?" She asks, leaving the remote in her hand to turn her entire body to me and I do the same. "Okay, so there's this friend of mine..." "Friend of yours?" She quirks a brow and I nod. "Yes, and no, you don't know her. We kind of only talk at school so..." "That makes sense. Go on. " She urges and I think about each word before I let them out. "So she has a boyfriend, but there was a misunderstanding between them and that caused a strain in their relationship. " Ashley makes a sound that tells me to continue. "Since that, she doesn't feel like she used to, then there's this other boy. She's kind of attracted to him?" She nods and I proceed. "She tried to break up with her boyfriend, but after realizing that will hurt him, she held

CRAVE NOTE
Hellooo Loves, it’s been a long time, hasn’t it? I apologize for the late update but thank you so much for being patient with me.We’ve now come to the end of Arabella’s and Alexander’s story but as seen, Dex’s and Veronica’s isn’t over yet. There’ll be a short book attached to this one for Dex’s and Veronica’s story. Then after their story is done, we’ll have bonus chapters on Alex and Ara, where we’ll get to know about their lives after high school. This will not be now, though because I’ll be completing my other book—My Stepbrother—in June along with writing my new book.In case some people don’t know yet, I have a new book on the app. It’s titled My Best Friend’s Girl and you can check it out if you’re interested. The characters are new to me, and I’m sure many of you would enjoy the journey as much as I’m enjoying writing it.Anyway, I’ll be writing My Best Friend’s Girl and completing My Stepbrother in June so bonus chapters with DexVeronica’s short book won’t be happening then.

GRADUATION DAY.~TWO MONTHS LATER~ARABELLA."Is Alex not coming?" Ashley asks me again after Sinclair leaves to attend an urgent business, and I frown as I take my phone out of my purse. The last texts I’ve sent him stare back at me with no response and I chew my cheek. "I don’t know. He isn’t responding.""Are you sure he’s okay?" He should be. We spoke last night before I went to bed and I saw his bike in front of his house this morning, but I’ve heard nothing from him. Could he be bummed that he isn’t graduating with me? But that was his choice.After Alexander returned from Florida, he told me he had a change of mind. The small life he wanted to live once was no longer his dream and after seeing his mother struggle and fight for her life, he now wants to be a doctor. He studied hard for the little time he had left till we took the exams. Maybe even more than me. He had no time to be with me and I understood. I’m happy he has a dream he’s pursuing and when the results came out, he

ARABELLA.We walk back into the house with our intertwined fingers and I pass Alexander a smile when Dex sees him calling out his name from the sofa."That’s you?" Dex stands from the couch and strides toward us. His hands are in his pockets and his gaze is on Alex, who pushes out his other hand, refusing to let me go. "Hey, dude."Dex looks at the outstretched hand, and his face hardens. "Are you back now after almost breaking my best friend’s heart?" He throws the question at Alex, who looks down at me before tightening his hand against mine. When he looks away, I try to meet Dex’s eyes, but he’s too busy glaring at Alex. The tension in the air rises as Alex’s hand stays in the air while Dex looks like he’s just two seconds away from punching him."You should know I’d never intentionally do that. They were stuff back at my home that needed to be taken care of and there was no avoid—"Dex’s face suddenly breaks in a smile and before Alex can finish, he slaps a hand on his shoulder. "

ALEXANDER. I continue to pace down the hallway, my heart drumming in my chest with each second that ticks by, and no one coming out of that room. My gaze turns on Kaleb, who’s nervously tapping his feet against the floor and fidgeting in his seat, his eyes occasionally shifting from his moving hands to the door next to him. "She’ll be fine," I tell him as I slap a hand on his thigh to keep it steady before I fall into the seat next to him. He shakes his head as he turns to me. "It’s been hours and there’s been nothing. Just people moving in and out of there, and refusing to tell us anything." "That’s kind of how the surgery works." I let out a chuckle, trying to suppress the fact that I’m just as afraid as he is. Afraid the news that comes out of there wouldn’t be the one we want. "Seriously, Kaleb; she’ll be fine. Remember what she told us: we can’t get scared no matter what happens." "I’m trying." He hisses as he bends over his back and drops his clamped hands to his legs. I rem

ARABELLA. I gaze at Alex between my legs and my head falls back on the arm of the couch with a loud moan as I feel his tongue laps at my core. "Alex…" I call out his name as I pull at the end of his curls and he hums with his lips pressed to my pussy, the vibration sending shocks through my body and I drip even more on his tongue. "Oh God," my other hand moves to my chest, and I squeeze my breast through the fabric of my dress as my eyes screw shut, my toes curling around his neck. "Oh, don’t you dare do that." I snap my eyes open when Alexander suddenly yanks my hand off my chest and also because he removes his head from my pussy, ripping away my fast-coming pleasure and I frown when I meet his eyes. He only grins down at me, as if he enjoys having me this way—frustrated and desperate for release. "Alex…" "Shh, baby." He whispers as he comes down over me, his hands slipping to my sides and I’m sure he can hear how fast my heart is beating in my chest at this close distance. "I tol

ALEXANDER. I walk into the house with my shoulders sank and Arabella is standing in the middle of the living room. She smiles when she sees me and immediately starts moving in my direction. I stretch my hands and pull her into my chest once she’s close enough, and she wraps her arms around my neck, pressing herself against me. "Hm." I moan into her neck as my hands lock around her waist and grip tight. "Are you okay?" Arabella asks against my chest and I pull back to look at her pretty face but keep my hands around her waist. She doesn’t remove hers from my neck either, and I drop my forehead on hers. "I’m so fucking sorry, baby," I whisper, and she moves one hand to my hair, threading it through my curls while the other stays on the back of my neck. "What are you sorry for? You’ve done nothing wrong." She says in a soft voice, and I push back my head to look into her eyes. I keep my eyes on her as I drop my hands to her ass and bend my legs back slightly. I lift her in my arms and

ALEXANDER. ME: I’m on my way. I don’t get another reply and I sigh as I throw my phone back into my pocket before I turn to Mom, whose head is lifted to me. Her brows are arched when she asks, "Is everything alright?" "Just the company. Really weird stuff, and I’m not sure how they’re happening." I inform her in a tired voice, and she drops the frame in her hand to her side. "Weird stuff happens all the time with business." She chuckles and I stare at her even when I know her eyes are on me. She doesn’t question it and I stare some more before I crouch before her and grab her hands. If she’s surprised by my sudden display of affection, she definitely doesn’t show it and only gives me a questioning look as we lock gazes. "Will you be… like you know… mad? If I fail? If I’m unable to save the company?" I ask and she takes a while to answer. When she does, her voice is gentle and laced with assurance. "If that’s what you’re afraid of, then you need not be. I told you before: it’s up to

We have more than 60% of the shares and she only got the…" "No, Alex." Zack interrupts and pushes himself off the wall he’s leaned against. He swipes a hand down his face before he crosses his hands over his chest. "She wasn’t the one. The buyer isn’t Amanda." I wiggle my brows. "I don’t understand. Are you saying…" I pause and I don’t complete the words before Zack nods, confirming the thought that comes to mind. "There’s a new buyer?" "Yeah." "Who? And how exactly did they manage to buy the company without having shares?" He sighs. "I don’t know who it is and I don’t know how they did this, but they must be really good." He lets out a dry chuckle. "Exceptionally good, because I never thought this was possible. I didn’t know…" "We have to find out who it is." "We’re in the dark. W

What are you doing here?""Just stuff," I mutter as my eyes go to her stomach. Sofia must have noticed me staring because she drops a hand on it and I raise my gaze. "What are you doing here?""I came to meet my mom." She provides and when I stare at her, confused, she continues. "I didn’t exactly take the advice you gave.""Oh?""But I didn’t go through with the terrible plan I had either." She chuckles and I smile as I take in the happiness that radiates on her face. She looks sunny. Different from the last time I saw her, and her eyes are twinkling. "I spoke to Mom about it and it took a while, but she understood. Dad, however, didn’t. I had to leave home for a while, but I think everything should be back to normal soon.""I’m happy for you, Sofia," I tell her and she beams. "Thank you. I am. Ve
