It All Started With A DARE •20•
It was a weekend, and I was helping my parents in the restaurant.The customers were quite much today and the aroma of chicken and chips filled the air while I craved eagerly for just a plate, but mum had refused, saying I would have a plate of chicken and chips when I'm done with my shift.I placed the orders of two lovely couples and helped set their plates on the table, when the doorbell notified of another customer entering the restaurant.I looked up to see Athena and Kayden walking into the restaurant hand in hand, making my stomach twist in a knot and I thought of escaping, so they won't see me.'What the hell are they doing here?' I thought.'How did they even know here?' I questioned annoyingly, while my heart beats lightly.I turned around swiftly and began walking hurriedly to the kitchen.“Hello! Excuse me, we'll like to place our orders,” That was Athena speaking and I froze in my spot while I placed the tray by my side.I decided to ignore them and kept on walking, “Jade

I wished the weekends could stay a bit longer and wouldn't end so soon, I sulked in my breath, hands shoved in my jacket as I walked down the hallway. Mondays always seem busier than usual, and it was sickening for me. Getting closer to my locker, my eyes transfixed on Kayden, who was leaning the side of his body on the locker like he was waiting for someone. I inhaled sharply, wondering why he was standing next to my locker, his arms folded over his chest. I stopped in my tracks, 'Should I just go to class and come back later for my books?' I thought, a slight frown creasing my face. 'I want nothing to do with him,' I seethed inwardly, still glaring at him when he looked up and our eyes held each other. “Jade!” He called eagerly and moved closer to me, while I took a step away from me and raised my hand at him, telling him to stop wherever he was, and he did. “Jade!” He called out again as my eyes sent furious unspoken messages to him. He had called me severally after the annoy

“Don't you ever learn your lesson?” The principal fired at me without even hearing my part of the story, which caused my blood to boil with rage.“I didn't start the fight, sir,” I tried to say calmly while my fist was clenched by each of my sides and my teeth gritted against themselves.“Who started the fight didn't matter, have you forgotten this is what made your previous school transfer you here,” The principal barked, and honestly, he was getting on my nerves and I wanted to punch him so angrily on that annoying face of his.He was just as arrogant as Athena, who seemed happy at the outcome of what happened.She kept on smiling as the principal directed his aggression on me like I wasn't the victim here.I clenched and released my fist as I stood while that bitch sat comfortably on the chair in front of the principal, putting on a fake facial appearance like she was the one who got hurt the most and not started the trouble in the first place.“From what I've heard so far, I can s

“It's okay, dear,” Mum patted my back gently as I sulked to myself while sitting on my bed.“I'm sorry, I didn't get to keep my promise… I just couldn't--” “Shhh! It's okay dear,” Mum hugged me while Dad kept on rubbing the back of my hand and smiled at me softly.“We know you didn't start the fight first,” Dad said, and I nodded.At least I still have my parents who trust me so much, that's more than enough.“Goodnight dear,” Mum said, finally standing up from my bed and walking closer to Dad, who wrapped his hands immediately around her waist as they smiled at me.“Goodnight mum, dad,” I responded and lay on my right side staring at them.“We love you,” They both said and began walking towards the entrance of my room and close the door behind them quietly when they were outside.“I love you both,” I whispered and sat on my bed immediately.I grabbed my glasses from the drawer and picked up my phone… I scrolled through the apps on my phone and clicked on Netflix.'I won't get annoye

Jade's POV.Days passed by, and I constantly ticked off the days until when my suspension will end on the calendar. Being alone is one of the worst things in the universe, but at least it wasn't that bad, to some extent, for an introvert like me.I haven't heard from anyone in my school, not like I was expecting one in the first place, since I didn't have any special bonding with anyone.I tied my hair into a high ponytail and wore a big-sized black hoodie, and underneath it was a black crop sports bra.Likewise, I put on matching black joggers and grabbed a black face cap. Since I won't be having anything much to do for the day, I decided to go to the gym and exercise.~~~Beads of sweat formed on my face as I hit the punch bag, I steadied my balance in place, my hands fisted in the boxing gloves I was wearing, and waited for the punching bag to swing back to me before clustering more strength in my arm and hit it again as it went swinging away.I jump and bounced slightly waiting fo

Our lips molded perfectly with each other as Kayden caressed his lips with mine. He kissed the corner of my mouth, then the other. Such gentle and patient kisses, his hands trailed on my waist down to my hips. I lifted my hands to his face and suddenly bury my fingers into his silken hazel hair, while I arched my back-up into him, craving the weight of his body on mine.Every urge of resistance in me vanished like thin air…Kayden's tongue collided with mine, and he did a little teasing playing with my tongue before he pulled back slightly against the suture of my mouth.I was amused to a certain level by how I was getting opened in a way I don't want with him.I felt his hardness poke through his joggers, and Kayden groaned as he ground himself against me.His hands gripped my hips firmly and begin to grind me more against him as I found myself moving faster on him.I gasped out into our interlocked lips and began to have a tingling sensation between my legs.Kayden's hands slowly w

The entire day, I had been thinking about what Kayden said to me earlier.'I like you, Jade,' His voice kept ringing in my ears like running waters.I rolled to the other side of the bed and a light smile curled its way up my lips.He was the first guy to tell me that he likes me.'Oh Gosh!' I'm still finding this hard to believe.Kayden said he likes me… I could scream to the whole school about this news, but on second thought, I wouldn't.'What if he's trying to play me?' I thought, finding myself frowning.He has a girlfriend, that crazy bitch… How could he say he likes me?'He's a player, I shouldn't fall for him,' I thought to myself when my phone suddenly rings.I rolled back to the other edge of the bed and pick my phone to check the caller ID… It was Kayden.I wanted to pick immediately but left it until the call was off, what if he thinks I had been waiting for him to call me all day.I picked up my phone, stared at the missed call, and pressed my lips together.Shortly, afte

Kayden parked in front of a cinema and I turned to stare at him.“Cinema?” I questioned, as he unbuckled his seatbelt and faced me with a smile playing on his lips.“Yeah,” He smiled.“I didn't know you're the movie type,” I teased suddenly, and he chuckled slightly.“Well, it's a good thing you know,” He smirked, wriggling his brow at me.I nervously dragged my gaze away from him, getting close and familiar with him was making me feel awkward, funnily. I was about to unbuckle my seatbelt when he leaned closer to me and touched my hands, stopping me.Likewise, I lifted my face, staring at him and getting flustered by his ways, his eyes studied me intensely.He unbuckled the seatbelt without taking his eyes off me, and I felt my entire body heat up… He had these killer sexy looks which could make a girl weak within seconds.Not only that, but he leaned closer, staring at my lips, and when I felt his nose brush slightly on my face, I closed my eyes awkwardly waiting for the moment but

Jade's POV.I smiled as I remembered what happened in those past weeks. Kayden woke up and his Dad fainted because he was overjoyed, and he was admitted too in the hospital. The doctors were surprised when Kayden woke up, they confessed that they thought that he wouldn't wake up til maybe a year or two since he was so cold and lifeless, he was already like a dead man and they thought he would never make it. He was shot in the chest, the shoulder, and the back, which pierced through to his stomach. He was so dead, he lost almost all the blood in his body and it was a miracle that he was alive and I can't stop being thankful.When he woke up, he refused to let me leave his presence and I was not ready to leave too, I wanted him closer to me as much as he did me. I wanted to be in his arms and never let go. When the doctors saw that we both were not letting each other go, they had no choice but to admit us into the same ward and they would treat us on the same bed, inject us with our me

Jade's POV.I found myself in a dark open space, but I was not afraid, I was walking hand in hand with Kayden. Though the place was filled with darkness, I could feel the wetness of the ground, which felt like flowers around. It must be a flower garden, but I couldn't see it. How did I know that it was Kayden I was walking with? Because I was feeling the same way I always feel anytime I was with Kayden and his hand fit rightly in mine.I glanced at his dark and he chuckled like he always does. I stared away and walked more. Suddenly a bright light showed around and I gasped. The light began to pull me closer and I was willingly following it, it was calling out to me, but I noticed that Kayden was not following me anymore and his hand was slipping away from mine. I wanted to shout his name but I couldn't, it was like my lips were sealed. I took hold of his hand with my both hands, not ready to let him go, but his hand eventually slipped off from mine and the light took me away, and th

Author's POV.Kayden was surprised to see his uncle standing right behind Jade, what was he doing there? And in a place like this. He thought."Uncle Theodore?" He had to ask again to confirm that he was not seeing in twos."Kayden, Kayden, Kayden, my favorite nephew." Theodore spoke in a singsong and with each word, he was pulling himself closer to Kayden while Kayden's eyes rose in confusion. "Did you miss me?"Kayden couldn't reply to him, he had his mind clouded with the same question. What is Uncle Theodore doing here? Though the answer to his question was glaring at him he didn't want to believe it. Theodore was his uncle for Christ's sake, the only child of his grandparents after his father!"Why aren't you talking? Still, I'm shocked. Oh no! That is not nice!" Theodore's voice was laced with mockery."Why? I mean, what are you doing here? I... I wasn't planning on seeing you here!" Kayden's eyes went to Jade and saw two hefty men holding her tightly. He returned his eyes to Th

Jade's POV.I felt myself awake but my eyes were closed, I was hearing some disturbing voices in my head, and I almost thought that it was Mom and Dad who were planning a prank on me. I tried to lift my hand to wipe the dizziness off so that I could be able to open my eyes but I couldn't raise my hands, none of them was raising and I feared, what's happening to me? Why are my hands stuck? I didn't have answers to my questions so I decided to pick the words the people around me were saying.".....she is still asleep, why the hell is that?!" One of them thundered and I almost shivered, the voice was so loud and daring. Dad's voice cannot sound like that and I began to put meaning to things around me.The event in the restroom rewind in my head and I got it, I was sedated and kidnapped. Damn! That person that flirted something on my face, how couldn't I notice it? One person cannot come to the school to take me, I should have thought of it very well before walking out, I could have peepe

Uncle Henry's POV.I should have known that something like that was bound to happen. I should have known that he would not give up, he would find something to pull Kayden out of the mansion and I should have known that the target would be Jade, my poor niece.I know that since it happened that way, we couldn't have been able to prevent it. If Jade was tightly secure like Kayden was, I was sure that he would use another method like maybe kidnap any of Jade's parents to lure her out, just the same way he was using Jade to lure Kayden. I stood before my sister's house and I sighed. I didn't know how they got to know about the kidnapping, but here I was trying to stand before them as a shoulder, I had to come here first before going back to the mansion to see that kid, Kayden. He is going insane and his father has to lock him into the room so that he won't leave to go to the location of the kidnappers without a proper plan. He would just get himself killed.I entered the house and just a

Kayden's POV.I was tired of staying indoors as it has been days already, but what can we do? Even Uncle Henry, who never finds it difficult to find a culprit, according to Jade, was finding this difficult. Nothing was leading us to him and all the people Dad was remembering were so out of the line, that they had nothing to do with the attacks after George, Dad's private investigator, and Uncle Henry investigated them. They were as clean as anything and I had a feeling that we would not be seeing the culprit soon.After the call Jade. I called Brandon, "Hey man.""My guy, what's up?" His voice was facetious, he was not expecting my call at least not that in the morning, but I was dying of boredom, I needed someone to keep me company before Jade arrived, and then I would chase all of them away to be with only Jade."I'm bored," I told him, "Are you up for some games?""Sure, will be up in a minute or two. You're calling me from my dream." He joked."Lazy ass. Don't keep me waiting, you

Jade's POV.It was another day of school and I was in my room, dressing up for school as I was on a video call with Kayden. He was in his room, under curfew. He was to hide himself from his attackers til he or she would be found.I had taken my bath and brushed my teeth in the bathroom. I had also dried my body and a long towel was tightly fixed around my chest."........are you telling me that you will be in there without coming out til the coast is clear and you're free to leave for anywhere you are?" I questioned him, already knowing his answer."Yes." He replied. "Dad is trying, I'm beginning to pity him," Kayden said to me."I thought you hated him. Remember you said that he is paying for his sin and for being the very worst father ever." I knew he had said that without thinking and now, he was regretting it, I just want him to laugh and be happy. I mean, he is not even attacked yet, so he deserves to be happy.He growled childishly, "I was a fool when I said that, though I will

Jade's POV.I laughed when Kayden told his Dad to leave, but that did not even hurt the man, he entered anyway even without Kayden's concept. "Son, we need to talk."I stopped what I was doing, ready to get up and give them some privacy, but I was stopped by Kayden. "Continue what you're doing Jade, it's more important." He didn't even mind his Dad's presence, he spoke sultrily."You're embarrassing the lady, come on." Mr Walters said and my embarrassment rose to its highest level.Kayden turned his head to look at me and he must have noticed that his Dad was right. He motioned for me to get up from him, which I did. I watched as he stood up and flexed his muscles and wiggled his waist."Thanks, babe, I feel so good." I nodded, I couldn't talk the way I wanted to, his Dad was present and I didn't want to offend him. Kayden frowned and turned to his Dad, "Leave Dad, you're making her uncomfortable."My eyes widened when I heard that. He shouldn't have said it, because my nervousness r
