ARABELLA.I look back at Alex, and shock is written over his face as he murmurs the name again. "Sofia?""Alexander?" My head snaps in the other direction, and the girl has a smile on her face as she moves toward us. "Xander?" She repeats, and when she’s within a close distance, I note the green eyes Alex spoke about.He was right. Her eyes are stunning. And not just her eyes. She’s stunning. She’s in a short gown that crosses her mid-thighs, and her bob hair is well-dressed over her head. She moves with class and elegance, her short heels clicking loud against the ground and the smile never leaving her lips. I see what he meant when he said she’s almost like royalty."Hey! It’s really you." She smiles wider as she moves into his arms without an invitation, and Alex stands still, seeming to still be in astonishment."I– what are you doing here? How are you here?" Alex finally finds his words as he pulls away from her, and she says, "It’s kind of a long story, but I’ve been here for a w

My eyes go behind him, and when I don’t see the bob-haired girl, I look back at him. "She left?""Yeah." He mutters as he steps closer to his bike. He grabs the helmet I dropped and extends it to me. "Let’s go."I want to ask him what happened, but I don’t say a word as Alex climbs on the bike while I gently get behind him. His body tenses as I grip his shirt– the way they haven’t in a very long time, and I swallow as I slowly loosen my hold."What are you doing?" Alex calls over his shoulder, and I arch a brow. "What?""Your hands." He looks down, and before I can tell what he’s doing, he grabs both my hands and locks them around his waist. "Should be there." He finishes before he fixes his helmet and leans forward as he starts the bike.I smile and drop my head on his back, and just before we move out of the bike; I catch a

ARABELLA.The rest of the semester quickly runs out, and things have been going extremely well between Alexander and I. Weeks pass by, and we no longer have to hide our relationship from my brother, and he’s been to my place several times, especially when Sinclair isn’t around. I’ve been trying to help him with his classes, though I don’t have full knowledge since they’re different from mine, and he tries. When we aren’t distracted by something else.Like we are right now."Ashley is downstairs." I moan as Alex pins me against my door, his hips rocking into mine, and I can feel how hard he is. He pushes his face from my neck to whisper into my ear. "I know. We’re studying, aren’t we?"There’s a smirk on his face as he pulls back to look at me, and the sound of my loud breathing fills the air as Alex’s hand travels down my chest. I gasp when he presses two fingers to the front of my Jean, my body squirming against the door."You’re so wet, Arabella." He whispers, his eyes not leaving mi

ALEXANDER. "What?" I stare, shocked, at Sofia, and she sniffs. "I’m pregnant. I found out about it last month, and I need your help." "Need my help with what, exactly?" I blurt out, still in shock that she’s pregnant. I guess she changed more than I thought. "You know what I need your help with, Alexander." She whispers, her eyes moving to my side. I turn to Arabella, and she nods before she steps away. When she’s away from hearing distance, I gaze back at Sofia. "How did that even happen?" "Joe." She starts, refusing to meet my eyes as she explains. "We crossed paths when he came to Florida two months ago, and it just sort of happened." "You just sort of fucked him?" I lift a brow, and she raises her head, her eyes angry as she sneers at me. "It was a moment of weakness, okay? And he was there. And I– I was drunk. I was barely focused, and he–" "I do not need the details, Sofia." I cut her off, and she sighs. "I came here to let him know about it, but he isn’t… he’s rejecting it

DEX. "So, what’s it like at your new place?" I ask Veronica as we stroll down the street with cups of ice cream in hand. She takes a spoonful of her chocolate one before she speaks. "I manage. It’s not exactly the luxury like yours." She meets my eyes and chuckles. "But I love it better than my last home, and once I get the next two months' payment, I should be able to move to a better apartment." "I still want you to consider my offer," I tell her, and she shakes her head. "No. I don’t want your money, Dex. That remains my answer, no matter how many times you ask." "Yeah, but it’s not like you won’t return it. I’m just lending it to you to make things easier. I know you need money for other stuff, Veronica. You can’t just dump every cash you get into your house." "I can take care of myself." She insists, and I sigh as I take a lick from my vanilla-flavored ice cream. Two weeks ago, Veronica moved out of her home, and we’ve been seeing each other often. Though I’ve offered my hel

ALEXANDER. Josie is standing by the door, and she stammers when she speaks. "I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to barge in. I didn’t know you had someone over. I’m so sorry." She apologizes, and I shake my head, signaling for her to leave. Thankfully, she catches onto the sign without me having to add words, and she nods. "I’ll come back later." She turns and bows to my Mom before she disappears through the door, and my chest drops shakily as I turn back to Mom. "Another one of your girls?" She arches a brow, and I scoff. "She’s my friend. From Florida, and you’d have known her if you paid any attention to me." "I’m not here to listen to your whines about me abandoning you, Alexander." She snaps. "I’m here to remind you the only reason I’m letting you stay here and do things your way is because I thought you’d be more responsible. Change and turn better, but if you find it hard to even do that, then I’d be left with no choice but to—" "But to what?" I cut in her words. "What will you do

DEX. "Do you want to come here?" Veronica asks after a long while, and I turn my head to her, my eyes moving down her body before I shake my head. "No. I’m good on the couch. The rain will be over soon, so…" I trail off, and I watch as she starts to get out of bed. It doesn’t take long for her to stand before me. "Are you sure you’re okay, Dex? You’ve been acting weird since I kissed you." She says, and I lick my lips as I close my hand over my pants and shift in my seat, a movement I hope she doesn’t notice. "I’m good," I reply curtly, and she frowns. "Did I do something wrong? You didn’t like the kiss? You kissed me back, though? I’m sorry if I got things con—" "No." I cut in before she can get out any more words. I let out a shaky breath and shut my eyes. When I open them, Veronica’s blue eyes are staring at me, waiting for me to continue, and I swallow, pushing aside my fluster. "I liked the kiss. I just… I think I liked it a bit too much." EARLIER.

DEX. I’ve never felt so good in my entire life. So amazing, it’s almost like I’m no longer on earth. That’s how good Veronica is currently making me feel. After whispering how good she’d make me feel, her voice low, seductive, and her words promising; her determined eyes rest on mine as she drops to her knees before me, and I gasp when she squeezes my cock through my pants. "Veronica," I moan, my heart pounding in my chest, and she smiles as she hooks her fingers around the waistband of my pants. She stills for a second and asks. "Have you ever done this?" When I shake my head, her eyes widen, astonishment clear in her sparking blue. "You’ve never had your cock sucked?" "I’ve never done anything with any girl other than kissing," I reveal to her, and her mouth lifts. "So you’re sort of a virgin?" Veronica laughs when I only blink at her. "That’s kind of sexy." "I uh… are you sure you want to do that." I ask as she pulls my pants down my legs, leaving it below my thighs. She lifts

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
