Bailey's povWhen I thought I could feel relieved, that was not the case as Mira picked up the bracelet from the floor, pinching it between her fingers as her brows furrowed, eyeing it with a strange gleam. " It is," Her words come out confused and surprised, her eyes lifting to brother's. Her eyes narrowed as she stood up with the bracelet in her hold. She eyed her brother accusingly, one of her brows arching up in question. " Kaleb. What is Bailey's bracelet doing in your room?" My heart thrusted against my chest, my palms sweaty even more. Gone was the jealousy I felt for Jessica and replaced by stilling fear again. I waited with my breath lodged in my throat, waiting for what he would respond with. I hope he could come up with something good. But that hope dwindle when he just lifted a shoulder into a casual shrug. " I don't know Mira. Maybe you two were trying to prank me in my room and it slipped." His voice was calm, as though we were not on the edge of getting exposed.
Bailey's povThree days later and let's just say Kaleb and I were acting like strangers. When he would see me in the hall he'd turn the other way and I'd do the same. I will admit it hurt me, but wasn't that what I wanted? For everything to be back to normal?Yet even though I thought of this, my heart pang with every silent glare he sent me before turning away. Even Mira noticed the tension between us and asked me yesterday what was up. I lied and said that I found out he got a higher mark in biology than me. Mira who knew how Kaleb and I competed for the best score ate up that lie. I didn't really enjoy lying to her, and hated that I had to protect our friendship. " Hey guys," Katrina said, swinging her legs over the chair for her to plop down. She takes out a sandwich in her bag and starts to munch on it happily. She had been in an uplifting spirit since morning. We asked her and she confessed her parents were working it out and for the first time in a few weeks her mom and da
Bailey's pov" Come on guys," the coach blew his whistle, the veins on his neck pulsing. He raised an arm to sling over his glistening sweaty forehead. " Stop acting like sissies, one more lap." One of the boys on the team whined, yelling for a break. I swore the coach was about to pop a vein when he shouted no to the poor boy who looked ready to faint. " Get your silly ass up Connah and run some more!" He yelled, his face red. Mira and Katrina snorted beside me, pointing out how extremely red coach Balon face was. But my attention wasn't really on the coach or the other tired football players. My attention was solely on him. I hadn't been able to take my eyes off him. I always enjoyed watching Kaleb play football, but what I enjoyed the most was seeing how much he enjoyed it. He was the one leading and right behind him was Ryan and Stefan. All three of the guys looked like they were not even sweating as much as the other players. I bit my lower lip, my eyes dropping to his str
Bailey's povFor a guy who was limping he sure freaking walks fast! Kaleb had already got to the double doors before I even caught up to him. But you can't blame me, I had to run down the bleachers and across the field! I never claimed to be athletic. He walked into the the building and my quick footsteps turn into a sprint. I huff by the time I got to the door and pushed it open. He's not far up ahead and it almost seemed like he was slowing down. " Kaleb!" I called out, rushing over to him. He stops but doesn't turn around. I am panting when I finally catch up to him, worried a bit when he stays silent. " Are you okay? " I whispered, clutching my back as I eyed the side of his face. He nod and continued walking forward. My brows furrowed. Just a nod? Is he seriously going to act cold now when I am genuinely worried about him?I followed after him silently, concerned that if I said another word we'd be arguing....but I did want to make sure he was okay. He took a nasty tackle a
Bailey's povHis lips on mine was urgent and desperate, moving against mine in a hungry dance. I could have easily pushed Kaleb away, easily moved off his lap. But instead of doing so, my body betrayed me by pushing closer to him and even going as far as moaning in his mouth. His hands are all over my body. One second his palming my ass the next his palming my breasts. His actions set fire in my veins and I shudder on top of him. " I just," He said between kisses, his lips moving off mine to travel down my jaw. His soft lips felt so good kissing my cheek to down my neck. I sighed, my fingers knotting in his hair as he peppered kisses down my neck, licking over my flesh. " I can't stop," he moaned, his lips sucking my skin. He nipped my skin, rolling his tongue over the sting and grabbed my ass. He squeezes. He detaches his lips from mine and lifted his head to look at me. His eyes are heated and show how much he longed for this moment. It made my heart flutter. " I can't stop t
Bailey's povI could feel the collective gaze of the room on me, and I struggled to come up with a reasonable explanation for the hickey. But nothing seem come to mind and my temples pinch slightly. Katrina glanced at me with a knowing smile, her eyes dancing with amusement, while Nurse Charles simply raised an eyebrow, as if she was waiting patiently for the excuse I would come up with. Does Katrina suspect what was going on?Kaleb's lips curved into a sly grin as he leaned back on the bed, clearly enjoying the situation he'd put me in.Before I could come up with an excuse, Mira pressed on. " It's so red and looks fresh," her brows furrowed as she stared at me confusion and surprise. She moves closer to me to obvious inspect it to make sure and by instinct my hands lift to cover over it. Well where I thought it was.Damn you Kaleb. I cleared my throat my mind and heart racing. "Uh well, it's just a..." my head hurt as I try my best to come up with something that won't have Mira
Bailey's povWe were in the parking lot, trying to figure out who will go with who. Kaleb and Stefan both had their cars and Katrina wanted to ride with Stefan because Kaleb drives too fast for her liking. I on the other hand knew that if I did ride with Kaleb and Mira, things would be awkward. It would not be the usual bickering we do, but I'd instead be quiet. Which was really not me and Kaleb's usual around Mira. We bickered like a cat and a dog. " You coming Bailey?" Stefan asked, waving me over with a huge grin on his face. I looked over at Kaleb nervously who glared at me across the hood of his car. " She's riding with me. Get in." His tone left no room to argue. Stefan looks upset and annoyed at Kaleb. " Let her choose man. I'm sure she doesn't want to leave her friend." Katrina looked between the two guys nervously. Everyone who was smart could see that there was some tension between the two, but no one knew why. Kaleb looked pissed off, the veins on his head more promin
Bailey's povThe point snaps for the fifth time on the paper. Mira lifts her gaze off the book and look over at me with furrowed brows, her eyes dropping on the pencil I held in my hand. The now point-less pencil. Her brows furrowed and she stood up, taking the pencil out of my hold. " Girl this is like the sixth time you've broken the point," she pointed out as she sharpened it once more again. "Fifth actually," I whispered, my mind drifting to Kaleb. He had occupied my thoughts for hours, especially since he have not returned. " What time is it?" I asked Mira, biting the inside of my cheek. Mira leaned over the desk, taps on her phone screen until it lights up. " It's seven fifteen." I looked out the window. From here I could see the neighbours house, all lights were on, but I had yet to see him get out of the house. My mind of course raced with many thoughts, causing me to feel unsettled and squirmy. I chewed on my lips, not wanting to raise suspicion but of course I blurt o
