Bailey's povI power off my phone and place it back on the nightstand. I am determined to not fall for his tricks again. I took a warm shower and changed into my pajamas. Tucking under the covers, my door suddenly creak open. The light from the hallway creep into my dark room. " Are you asleep Bailey?" Lilian asked as she stepped into the room. I sat up, lifting the covers and silently telling her to get in. " No."Lilian rushes over to me, fitting herself under the covers with a giggle. I moved closer to her and we both stayed under the covers, peering up at the ceiling. My gaze was lost on the ceiling but my mind wandered off, thinking about Kaleb and Juliet. Now that she was back, what would happen now?I can vaguely remember her, we never really talked much. She acted sweet in front of everyone but her true colors always showed when she was alone with me. Juliet was a big bully and always flaunted herself like she was better than everyone. Kaleb was head over heels in love wi
Bailey's povThe next morning when I put on my phone, there were countless missed calls from Kaleb, including a few text that told me to pick up the phone. Whatever he had to say, he clearly wanted to speak to me about it without saying it in a text. I sighed and got ready for school, making sure I prepare myself mentally for our incoming conversation. There was no way I would be able to avoid him now that he wasn't avoiding me to. The only reason it worked the last time was because he made no effort to speak to me. Now, we clearly need to talk. And I clearly need to cut off whatever was happening between us. I could not only risk my friendship with Mira but I could also lose my heart. I didn't want to go through heartbreak when I know for a fact Kaleb would only bring that to my door. I couldn't mistake lust for love. It was just lust. I can fix this, I can get rid of it. Things had to go back the way it was between us or there would be many things at stake. I skipped down the s
Bailey's povI could have turned around and walked away, but I chose to stay. Not only because I was too proud but because Mira had already seen me and waved at me. Walking away would have just led her to question me. I mustered up a small smile as the three approached. I of course, kept my gaze only on Mira, avoiding the other two. I could feel his gaze piercing through me and squirmed. " Good morning," Mira chirped throwing her hands around both Katrina and me. I smiled but made a mistake by looking over. My eyes fell in his and the smile wipes off my face. He's glaring at me like I had stepped on his foot. I tore my eyes away but they fell on her. She stood close to him as though she already claimed him as hers. I could not help but feel bitter. Mira pulled away and turned around. "Remember Juliet guys?" Juliet was always pretty in middle school, the most beautiful and popular girl. With her auburn hair, brown eyes and pretty features she really was strikingly gorgeous. It is
Bailey's povHis fingers on my skin felt like scorching fire, it burned and branded my flesh in its wake. I could feel the beading of goosebumps raise on my skin and the thin hairs behind my neck rise as his hot breath fanned against my face. It's taking everything in me to not clench my thighs together. That would alert him that I was enjoying this....which I was, I was fucking enjoying this. I shivered, swallowing as I try to get my wits together. As his lips near the corner of my mouth, I twist my head away. He stopped, but his hands stayed under my skirt. " Get away from me Sam or so help me I will scream the roof down." I warned, my throat feeling tight as I lied. I just needed him a bit out of my personal space so I can think. With him so close it was so incredibly hard to focus. His head drop on my shoulder and he sighed, sounding defeated. " What can I do to make you talk to me flower?" I swallowed, trying to not shiver from his hot breath now touching my neck. " I'm sp
Bailey's povI know my words had stunned him and hurt him at the same time as his grip around my waist loosen. My heart hurt. His eyes had a glimmer of sadness that he tried to veil away from me, but I had already seen it. It made a lump in my throat grow. "Why?" His voice is back hoarse. I looked away as I murmur. " You don't settle down and the only time you did was because of her. Now she's back." He gripped my waist and now it feels like he was trying to make sure I didn't move away from him. " Is this about her? Last night? Bailey nothing happened." I brought my gaze back to his and searched his eyes. There was honesty in his words but how do you trust a player? A guy who nows how to lie perfectly?" Then why did you stay?" He shook his head, leaning back so he can have a better view of me. I squirm on his lap. He pinched my waist playfully. " Maybe if you had answered my calls you would've known." He teased lightly, now finding it amusing. My jaw ticked and his eyes gle
Bailey's povI quickly created distance between Kaleb and me as my heart pounded in my chest furiously. Where we were you'd not be able to spot us as soon as you enter, but there was a good chance Mira would walk over here. I looked at Kaleb, pleading with him to help me make sure she doesn't find out in this way. He nods and motions me to hurry up go over there so she wouldn't have time to get here to see us both. I nod and gripped my bag while rushing over to the door. I had just took the left turn when I saw her ready to walk further in. When she saw me her brows knot. " Why do you look as though you've just stumbled upon a ghost?" I smiled awkwardly. " You know how I hate being late for class. I'm kind of panicking." I lied and she bought it. " Katrina already went to her class, we're not that late to ours." She said as we stepped out of the library. " You're coming with me to the after party after the guys win by the way." I gave her a look. I agreed to come to the game, not
Bailey's povBaby.Baby.....Baby?That word rang in my ears as I peered at his back as he disappeared back inside the locker room. Before he did, he turned to me and smiled. That smile, the gleam of happiness in his eyes. My heart sped its beats. I clench the shirt in a fist in my hands, gripping the material as I stared at the closed door in utter shock. Did that just happen?I looked around, suddenly realizing I was still in the hallway and anyone could have seen us and what Kaleb had done, which was kiss my cheek. But to my surprise the hallway was empty. I only prayed it had been so when he leaned down to kiss me on the cheek. I looked down at his jersey, unsure if to go to him and give it back. If I wore it, it would raise questions and rumors will begin. Kaleb has never and I mean ever given a girl his jersey to wear before. Usually when a guy gave a girl his jersey to wear it would mean that they are dating. Kaleb never gave anyone his jersey....I flushed. If I walk ou
Bailey's povThe game was going on and the cheers around me never ceased. Kaleb's team had the upper hand and I did believe they would win. As he promised earlier, he scored many goals and made sure to look at me in the stands when he did. I hope no one noticed because he was very sleek about it. I'd shy away and look somewhere else when he did and never failed to notice the smirk he sent my way. Juliet's words affected me but it is not in the way you think. Kaleb lied to me and that was what ticked me off. I couldn't trust him. As the game continued on, it was even more clear that we would win so when we did it was no surprise. This time I did stand up, clapping and smiling as they lifted Kaleb up in the air and cheered. Even though I was mad at him, I wasn't bitchy enough to not celebrate his win. Somehow through the crowd and everyone cheering, his eyes connected with mine. He grinned hugely, winking. " Did my brother just wink at you?" Mira gasped beside me. A lump grows
