TYLER's POV
The next day, I stood by my locker trying to understand why Stella turned me down. She was a complete nerd, an outcast, a lowlife. It would make sense for her to want to tutor me considering the wonders I could do to her social life.
I needed to talk to Mr. Clark about having Jim tutor me instead. In a way, it was a blessing in disguise—I wouldn't have to talk nor spend time with Stella, but my grades would really suffer. Still, Jim was better than nothing.
"Dude, what's keeping you busy these past few days? Haven't seen you lately, huh?" Justin who suddenly appeared asked me as we stood by my locker. I haven't told anyone yet about my grades and the tutor thing.
I looked around, checking that there's no student in sight near us. I have to tell it to someone because I might explode if I wouldn't.
"I failed in three subjects." I whispered. "And I have to ask the nerd to tutor me but she rejected me."
"What?" he was shocked. "But you are Tyler Lewis, and no one rejects you."
"Exactly! And I have to convince her but I don't know how. Maybe you can help me?"
"Hmm…" Justin grazed his chin with his fingers while thinking and I patiently waited for an idea to pop up in his mind. "Is this the same nerd you used to bully before?"
I nodded. "And the nerd I saved from Mark's gang last week."
"I think she was rejecting you because of you bullying her before. So, maybe you should offer her something she liked and in return, she will gladly tutor you."
I gave him a confused look. "Offer her? Like what?" I frowned. What could I offer her to accept me?
"Like, she will tutor you in your failed subjects and you teach her on how to kiss." Justin suggested and my eyes widened.
"Are you fucking insane? No way!" I couldn't understand why he suddenly suggested that kind of thing. I have a girlfriend and I wouldn't dare kiss another girl.
"Dude, I was just trying to help you. You see, Stella is obviously had a little experience or maybe no experience at all. And you teaching her on how to kiss, she should be grateful! She'd got to kiss the hottest guy in the campus."
He laughed as I playfully hit his shoulder. Honestly, I'd think about that too. What girl would say no to kissing with the hottest guy in school? So, this is it?
"Fine! And if she rejects me again, you're fucking dead Justin!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I watched as Stella came around the corner with her gaze lowered on the ground. I observed her and I think she's not that bad. She has the body, well, with that loose shirt she was wearing, I could still see the perfect curve of her body. Her breasts stood perfectly and her slim waist emphasizing how sexy she looked.
Hell, why didn't I realize that nerd was hot-shaped before? She looks less annoying this way.
"Dude, she's over there." Justin whispered.
"I saw her, too. Wait me here." I scurried after Stella as Justin watched me chase her.
Jesus, why was this girl so fast? I huffed as she turned around another corner and a familiar face came into sight. I lowered my gaze and pretended I didn't see Mark. Thankfully, he didn't notice me, too.
I continued walking until I spotted Stella in an empty corridor by her locker. I slowly walked over until I stood against the locker next to her. "Hey." I smiled and she was startled and slammed her locker shut, eyes widened looking at me.
"What do you want?" she sighed. Someone has a bad day this early in the morning.
"I wanted to see how you were doing."
Stella gave me a confused look. "How I'm doing?"
I gave my best sympathetic smile and glanced around the hall to make sure no one was secretly watching us.
"I want to say sorry again for the things I've done to you. I really mean it Stella." Her eyes went wide again and looked around the halls like I did mere seconds ago. Maybe she thought she was being pranked.
"Forget about it, Tyler. Just don't bother me again." she said, looking back at her locker sadly. "And about the tutor thing, I'm sorry but my decision is final. I'm not accepting you."
"Ow c'mon Stella." I let out my best fake laugh. "You're the only person who could help me and maybe I can help you, too."
"Help me? With what?"
"Well, you know I'd think about this a hundred times so I have a generous proposition for you." she stayed silent waiting for me, so I continued. "I need you to tutor me in practically everything you're good at, but you need a little tutoring in practically everything I'm good at."
"So, what is your offer?"
"You tutor me in school, and I tutor you to…kiss?" I waited for a reply as Stella's face contorted into shock and confusion. She had turned beetroot and she looked like she was about to cry.
Her watery eyes aroused a mixed feeling in my heart. Oh my God, what have I done?!
"Are you joking?" she then asked.
"Look, I know you haven't had a boyfriend and I would like to graduate and play football. We both have things we need. It's an extremely generous offer considering…well." I scanned her up and down. It didn't need any explanation. "And just so you know, if anyone finds out it could compromise my whole reputation, so you should be thankful for what I'm risking."
"I can't believe you, Tyler Lewis!"
"Wait—"
"Do you honestly think that I'm that desperate and sorry for myself to jump at any opportunity just to kiss you?"
"But Stella, this isn't just any kiss. This is kiss with me, the hottest guy in the whole campus."
She didn't like the sound of that.
"Do you not hear yourself? Seriously? You know what? You bullying me was something I could forget but this telling me that kissing you is like winning in the contest is so stupid that I think I've lost a few brain cells. Plus, not to mention the fact that you were solely doing this for yourself, thinking I'd be putty in your hands."
"But you need a boyfriend, and to have a boyfriend should know how to kiss." I said, still trying to convince her.
"Who told you that I don't know how to kiss?"
Fuck! Who taught her that? For no reason, I was irritated by her words.
Staring at her attractive plump lips, I couldn't help offering a regretful suggestion, which made everyone at present jaw drop.
"So, you know how to kiss? How about…I tutor you in sex, then?"
Her watery eyes widen as well as her mouth, making her look innocent.
Damn, her green eyes are mesmerizing me again! Somehow a voice popped in my mind:
Kiss her.
Then I pressed my lips on hers.
TYLER's POV"You did what?" Justin yelled at me as I recited him the whole event."Will you lower down your voice?" I whispered as I sat next to him inside our Statistics classroom. I held my right cheek that was still stinging in pain from the slap of that nerd. "I'm fucking screwed, man.""Stella rejected you and even gave you a hard slap. Woman…" Justin laughed and I glared at him. "But why did you offer her sex, dude. I only suggested a kiss? What the fuck are you even thinking?""I don't even know why I said that, man. Shit!" I brushed my fingers over my hair in frustration. I really couldn't believe I said that.Come on, I was the hottest guy in school. How could I tutor a nerd how to have sex? That's crazy. I have a girlfriend!How could this be happening to me? I was never the helpless one and now look at me, begging for the nerd to tutor me. What would everyone think if I won't be able to play football? What would Maxine feel if I had to repeat the year and won't be able to g
STELLA's POV"Are you crying?" Vince asked me the moment I sat beside him inside the school bus."No. Something just got into my eye." I wiped my eyes, trying so hard to stifle a snort.Vince frowned and faced me. "What did Tyler tell you?""W-what do you mean?""I saw you talking to him in the locker area this morning. I know he said something you don't like, Stella. You've been very quiet the whole day and didn't even concentrate on our lesson. Did he bully you again?"I couldn't hide what I felt anymore. I was so hurt, and the tears that I'd been holding since this morning started to fall like raindrops."He's a jerk. I thought he will treat you good because he needs a favour from you. I don't like him for you anymore, Stella. My rating for him totally dropped to 95%! You shouldn't agree—""What? How could you even rate him with 95%? I can't believe you, Vince! Isn't he an asshole for offering me a sex in return for tutoring him?" I exclaimed. "And you still like him for me?""That
STELLA's POV"Dino…" I called out upon entering his hospital room.I saw him lying down in bed with different tubes connected on different parts of his body. I pulled a stool and sat beside him at the bed and grabbed his hand."Stella…" he whispered, squeezing my hand in his. "I've been waiting you for hours already.""I'm sorry, Dino. I just got out from work. How are you feeling?" I asked, brushing my left hand over his blonde hair."Feeling better, now that you're here." He gave me a small smile but I caught a glint of sadness in his eyes before he looked away. "When will Debra and mom going to visit me?"Dino was the son of Aunt Lucy from another man. She kept it a secret from dad when he was still alive. One month after dad passed away, she brought Dino to our house. He said, Dino's father died so she got no choice but to bring him home. Dino was only 12 back then, and now he's 15. Technically speaking, Dino and I were not blood related but I treated him as my own brother.He bec
TYLER'S POV"I'm going, Tyler, whether you like it or not!" Maxine said I sat beside her inside the dance practice room.It was my vacant period and I decided to visit her on her ballroom practice and talked to her seriously."Fine. You go and we're done!" I stood up but before I could leave, I felt her hand grip on my wrist."Tyler please…Don't this to me. If you really love me, you'll support me in my dreams. You'll be happy with me." she begged, her eyes now pooling with tears. "This is the moment I've been waiting for.""If you love me, don't go. As simple as that, Maxine. I couldn't stay in a long distance relationship, you know that! And you're leaving for 5 months, for fuck's sake!" I hissed.I was still hoping that she would consider our relationship, that she would change her mind and decided to not leave me. But my hopes were crashed when I felt her grip loosened."I'm sorry, Tyler." She looked down and turned her back on me.She just proved to me that she loved her career m
TYLER's POVJust as I was about to walked towards her, I noticed a man leering at the redhead girl from a few feet away. My protective instincts kicked in as the man straightened and decided to finally approached her.I didn't need to think twice and went straight for the girl. The man hadn't noticed me yet because his gaze was concentrated on her. On the prize. The only prize he was getting tonight was a bloody nose if he didn't stop and turn his ass around.When his hand closed around her wrist, I nearly growled. The anger surprised me, but I had to shake it off or this night would turn into a shit show. I took a steps forward, and the man froze. He finally saw me."Hey, baby!" Where have you been?" I exclaimed, fighting to keep my voice light as I approached. I refused to look at her face for fear of what I would see there.If she looked even remotely scared, I was going to hit this dumb shit in the face."I've been looking everywhere for you." I touched her shoulder and nodded at
STELLA's POVI blinked several times when I felt the soft warmth of sunlight touched my face. I slowly got up and stretched my limbs looking for Luna beside me, but I couldn't find her. I couldn't find a clock on my nightstand and no Debra shouting at early in the morning.I smiled, contented. This was the very first morning that no one disturbed me in my sleep. But then something caught my eye. A man? And he was peacefully sleeping beside me? I couldn't recognize him because he has a face mask on? Why did he have to wear a mask in his sleep?Oh God!My eyes widened when I looked around the unfamiliar room and swallowed the panic climbing up my throat. Where the hell am I? And what is that horrible smell?"Don't panic, Stella." I muttered, taken aback by the foul taste in my mouth. I took several deep breaths to calm my pounding heart and tried to assess my situation.At least I still had my clothes on, even though they were soiled with dry vomit. Yuck! That stink was coming from me!
TYLER's POV"Dude, wake up!" I felt someone was shaking me hardly on my shoulders causing me to get up harshly."What?" I groaned, smacking Justin's arm, pulling the face mask out of my face."The girl..." he panted. "The redhead girl, she's escaping!""What?" my eyes widened and stood up, hurriedly ran through the hallway and into the front door but I remembered I was only on my boxers. Shit!I turned around and glared at Justin who followed me through here and still panting."Why didn't you stop her?" I asked, irritated."I tried to, but she was too fast. She looked so scared." He looked at me suspiciously. "Did you do something to her?""Of course not!" I exclaimed. "She was too drunk last night and too stinky that I didn't attempt to even touch her.""So, that explained the face mask you wore." He grinned. "You should've cleaned her up.""I didn't know her, dude. I think she wouldn't appreciate it if she discovered a stranger had stripped her. I might lose an eye or a hand if I di
STELLA's POV"Oh my God! Stella, what happened to you?" Lisa exclaimed the moment she opened the door of her house.She pulled me in a tight hug but soon backed away from me with a disgusted look on her face."What's that kind of smell?" she grimaced. "Eeww...you stink!""I'm sorry, Lisa. But I need to clean myself up before going home." I said not paying attention on her whiny complaints about how I smelled.She guided me inside the house and into her room, to where she helped me dressed up yesterday. She lent me a fresh clean towel before I entered the shower room, hurriedly.When I walked out, I smiled as I saw my clothes yesterday was neatly folded on top of Lisa's bed together with my wig and my thick eyeglasses. I quickly put them on in me before walking out of the room in a hurry."Stella, eat breakfast first before you go home." I heard Lisa called out from the kitchen.I shook my head. "I'm sorry, Lisa. But I need to go home now. Auntie might be worried now to why I didn't go
***STELLA's POV"Have you seen the new girl?""Oh my God, she's hot!""She's going to be my girlfriend!""That's not a new girl, that's Stella Hemmings!""Who's Stella Hemmings?""God, isn't she gorgeous?""I will make her mine!"It was all I had been hearing for the last three days at school. Constant gossip about a new girl, people shocked at my transformation, rumors of me doing plastic surgery. At some of them, I rolled my eyes and at others, I couldn't help but get a little tinge of proudness and annoyanceI heard a bunch of football players chatting in their lockers about if I was foreign or not and I had to hold in my laughter, but I was annoyed when they started discussing my chest size and I wanted to slap them all. Like, they were Tyler's teammates and they knew I was his girlfriend yet I seemed to have caught their eyes. I seemed to have caught everyone's eyes.Speaking of Tyler, I haven't seen
***STELLA's POVI was on my bed, staring at the white ceiling, my hands clasping my chest. I still love Tyler, but we can't be together anymore because he already made a decision and that was to marry Maxine. But I could still remember the words he told me before we parted ways. He said I have to wait for him. he said he'd do everything to get out of that marriage. But how? When?I sighed as I think about Cheol. He was so good to me. He treated me like his princess, like he doesn't want to hurt me. He doesn't want to see me crying. Am I ready to take chances with him?"When we're together, I felt so alive…I forget Tyler when I was with him. I wanted to spend every moment with him. Was that a bad thing? What do you think, Coco?"I looked at Coco whose head jerked up at the mention of his name, and I smiled. I was glad he was used to his name now.I sat up and stared at the wall as I could not stop myself from pondering. Everything happe
***CHEOL's POVWhen we reached my room, I immediately pulled Stella to the bed and she straddled her legs around my waist, sitting on my lap.I kissed her lips and thrusted my tongue inside her mouth and she suckled it. I could not help but smile. Stella was very responsive.My hands went inside her shirt and settled on her behind, squeezing, kneading her butt cheeks. I held her eyes as I jerked my hips upward bumping my erection against her center."Do you trust me?" I asked her and she nodded."Yes, Cheol…" she whispered into my ear. "I turst you…"I looked down and saw her wetness mark my jeans. I pulled her closer and laid her down on the bed as I settled between her legs and kissed her again with greediness.I jerked when I felt her hand touch my manhood. Fuck!I groaned as she rubbed it up and down. I've been too hard and aroused for days already, wanting her so badly and I was dying for release.Her hand transferred to my abdomen, going down inside my jeans."Stella, are you s
***CHEOL's POVThe next morning, I woke up without Stella by my side. I sighed and got up before I ran my fingers over my hair. I walked towards the bathroom lazily to wash my face and brush my teeth.I went down the stairs and saw Stella in the kitchen preparing breakfast. She was chopping carrots on the chopping board like a pro. She seemed to really enjoy cooking. The food she made yesterday was actually delicious."Hi, good morning," I greeted her and she looked at me with a bright smile."Good morning…Umm, are you hungry?" she asked. I did not miss the blush creeping on her cheek.It depends on the hunger she was referring to. If she was asking if I was hungry with her, that would be a yes. But it was about the food? No, I don't think so."I'm good," I went beside her and observed her cutting the carrots. "Can I help?""Uh, sure!" she exclaimed and stopped cutting.I smiled and went behind her, putting my hands over hers. I felt her stiffen and immediately, the fire ignited insi
***CHEOL's POVI fought hard the overwhelming need to get close to Stella. And now, I didn't care anymore. This breathless urgency I felt for her was too much to bear.And I don't want to think about Tyler right now because I really need Stella this much.I kissed her harder to get my fill of her sweetness, drawing her as close as I could get without breaking her soft bones. I wanted to absorb the feel of her, so badly like a carnal craving.My mouth went to the slender column of her throat, then transferred to the area behind her ear making her moan as my tongue licked the sensitive spot. I smiled as she tilted her head to give me more access.I pushed her on the tiled wall gently and admired the full length of her beautiful physique as I raked my eyes on her from head to toe. I saw how her cheeks turned to cherries as I looked at her perfect body—deep curves in all the right places. The scars were finally gone.Her breasts were so lovely with pink pointed crowns that I could not wa
***STELLA's POVMy senses reeled as if it was short-circuited as Cheol kissed me devouringly, bringing me to euphoria. I parted my lips welcoming every thrust of his tongue. The taste of him was so sweet and intoxicating, making my mind spin, and almost forgot about Tyler.Tyler?He might be busy preparing for his wedding with Maxine.I returned Cheol's kisses with reckless abandon. I didn't want him to stop this time. His lips transferred to my jaw, trailing down my throat and on the spot behind my ear. I moaned as intense pleasure surged deep inside me.His mouth and tongue did amazingly delicious sensations that made me gasp especially when his hand went under my sweater and slid across my belly moving up."Cheol…" a moan of ecstasy slipped through my lips as his hand fondled one of my breasts."Shit, Stella… You're driving me crazy." he groaned sexily.I knew what he meant. I was not wearing any bra because of my thick sweater.His hand transferred to my left breast, gently cares
***CHEOL's POVI woke up early and went for a jog. I could not sleep well last night, I kept on thinking about Stella and the plan I have made up before I finally closed my eyes to sleep. I'm going back to Australia. There's no need to be here anymore. There's no reason to stay here anymore.Coco was curled on the couch when I entered the house. His head came up, slightly cocked when he saw me. He started to growl angrily but I ignored him.What the hell was wrong with this dog?I went directly to the kitchen where I saw Stella was. She was facing the wall making breakfast.Amy called last night and she asked for another day off because she wasn't feeling well."Good morning…" I greeted Stella.She immediately turned around. Her face looked so freshly young, flawless, and radiant without any makeup on. Actually, she didn't need any cosmetics, she was naturally beautiful. But her eyes were swollen. She might have cried hard last night thinking about Tyler."Good morning…" she greeted
***STELLA's POVTyler drove me home tonight, and when the car stopped in front of Choi's mansion, I was still feeling flustered because of what we did at the beach. I couldn't believe I did it again with him.I don't think that I would be able to sleep tonight. All I would be able to think of, were his touch, his voice, his kisses...However, now that I looked at the house in front of me, my heart felt heavy. I wish I wouldn't have to deal with Cheol because I don't know what to tell him. I don't know how will I show my face to him after everything that happened between me and Tyler. I don't know if I can still agree in marrying him.The atmosphere in the car suddenly tensed, and Tyler turned silent too.I turned to look at him, who has his eyes on the road ahead, his hands on the steering wheel."Tyler…" I called out.He looked surprised when I called him, as though he was deep in thought and I just snapped him back. He looked tense, bothered, while sadness was evident in his eyes.
***STELLA's POVMy nails sank into Tyler's shoulders for support, my ragged breath was so close to his ears."Fuck, baby, I almost forgot how good you feel," he rasped, and soon my moans filled the air.Tyler continued sliding in and out of me, moving his hips up and down slowly and deeply. The sound of the waves crashing through the shore echoed in the background.The pain I felt gradually subsided until there was only pleasure. He still maintained a slow pace, and when he felt that I clenched around him, he knew that I was about to reach my orgasm. I couldn't help it. Taking all of him every time he thrust into me while he spread my ass cheeks like this was too much."Tyler…" I whimpered softly."You're going to come already, baby?" he chuckled. "Look at me when you come. I want to see your beautiful face."Before I could adjust my trembling hands on his shoulders so that I could push myself up and look him in the eyes, Tyler grabbed the back of my neck so that he could see my face
