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

ARABELLA. "Why?" He asks, then takes a step forward. "Why don't you want to have sex with me, Arabella? Are you afraid I'll hurt you?" "No. " I respond, taking a gulp. "That isn't what this is about. " "Then what's it about? Tell me why you don't want me to–" "Because I'm here to break up with you. " The words leave my mouth, and everywhere around us goes silent for long excruciating minutes. Peter stares at me as if he isn't believing the words he just heard, then he lets out a low chuckle. A second one, and another before he opens his mouth. "What are you talking about, baby? You need to stop with the jokes. " I shake my head. "I'm not joking, Peter. I want to break up with you. " His playful expression vanishes, and that scary one comes again. "No, you don't. " He says with a hint of finality. "You're not breaking up with me, Arabella. I told you that before. " "Yes, I am. I don't want to be with you any longer–" "And why is s that? Because I've previously refused to touch

ARABELLA. "Hi. " Alex mutters as I unwrap my arms and take a step back and I smile at him. "Hey. " "Are you okay?" He asks and I hum. "I just needed that. " "Enough?" He inquires and when I raise a brow in confusion, he motions to me and says, "Feeling better?" "I am now. " I reply and he surprises me by lifting his hand to my face. I remain still, keeping myself from doing the same to him as he brushes my hair from my face and strokes my cheek with his thumb. He does that for some seconds without saying a word, and as if just registering what he's doing; he suddenly removes his hand. "What's–" "Can we talk later? I need to get back to something. " He interrupts me before I can speak. "Right now?" I question and he nods. "Right now. " "Oh. I thought you were going to stay for a few minutes. " I say in a small voice and a smile tugs at the corner of his lips as his eyes move down my body. When he moves them back up, he says, "You brought extra?" My cheeks redden at my immedi

ARABELLA. "Ready?" Ashley asks me the second I step inside the living room and I throw her a warm smile. "I am. " She gives one glance down my body and meets my eyes. "Is Dex taking you?" "Yes. " I mutter, lifting my phone to send a quick text to the said guy. Dropping the mobile from my view, I look back at Ashley. "Why are you here? Isn't it a date out tonight?" Her face breaks into a smile as she responds. "It is. But I'm waiting until the last minute before I change. I have a surprise for him. " "And I'm not bothered. " I joke and she laughs. "You look pretty by the way. Peter's eyes will be glued to you. " She compliments as I move from my spot to take the couch across from her and I put on a small smile. "Thank you. " She hums and silence settles between us as she returns her eyes to the laptop on her lap. I sigh and bring up my phone again; my eyes move over Dex's name before I scroll to his and after two seconds of contemplating, I click on his contact. ME: Hey. Busy?

ARABELLA. He removes his lips from mine, giving me time to breathe as his fingers caress my face, his thumb moving over my already swollen lips, ones that need his to be back there. "Are you okay?" He asks in a whisper and I hum, lifting my hands to cover his. I avert my gaze as I rub my fingers over his knuckles. "The skin is red. That must hurt?" I say when I look back at him. "You don't have to worry about it. " He mutters, removing his hands from my face and letting them fall to his side. I frown and lift his right hand to my view again. "No, I do. I want to. You're hurting, Alex. We should–" He snatches the hand from me, brushing his knuckles against the front of his shirt. "I'm fine. It's just a little blood. " "Alex–" "Shh. " He presses a finger to my lips and I stare at the contact through my lashes, not missing the way my heart skipped a beat. "Don't say a word about it.

ARABELLA. "There you are. I left a message. " I say to Dex when we meet halfway through and he rubs his eyes. "Sorry. I didn't check my phone. ""Are you okay?" I ask when I take notice of his scowl and he hums. "I am. ""Are you sure? Did something happen? You couldn't find Veronica?""Oh, I did. " He murmurs, dropping his hand from his face. "Just not in the state I expected. ""Is she okay? Where's she?""She left. With Sam. " He reveals with an irritating edge to his voice and I chuckle. "You don't like that?""No, that's not what–" Dex pauses when his eyes move behind me and I turn on my heels to see Alexander standing behind, only feet away with his hands tucked into his pockets and his eyes on me. "You were with him?" Dex's question returns my attention to him and I nod. "I was. I—""Wait. What the fuck is that?" He interrupts my words, his finger pointed straight at my neck and I wrap a hand around it, a finger trailing over the skin, knowing he's asking about the red skin f

He drags me to the front of the class and I gasp when he drops me on the teacher's desk, squatting in front of me. "Alex, I..." I start to say, eyes moving to the door and he says. "It's locked. " I return my eyes to him, and he spreads my legs, shifting closer. "Alex, Oh..." My next words turn into moans when he lifts my skirt and presses his thumb to the front of my panties, feeling my wetness through the thin material. "So wet and so ready. " He mumbles before his hand goes around me and brings me to the end of the desk. I arch my back, gripping onto the other side as I feel Alex shifts my panties, his finger now moving across my bare pussy. "Alex. " I whine, moving back to check him between my thighs and he throws me a tiny smirk as he meets his eyes. "Hold on, baby and try not to scream too loud. " That sudden pet name is enough to

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
