Bailey's povHearing my words, Kaleb's eyes widen a bit in surprise, his eyebrows lifting slightly. He cupped my cheek tenderly, leaning forward. "Of course not? Have you forgotten what I said earlier?"My brows furrowed. So many things happened all at once that I can't recall if I missed anything important. The corner of his lips pulled up slightly into a small smile." Have you forgotten so soon baby?" he joked, brushing his thumb down my cheek tenderly. " I admitted that I am very selfish when it comes to you. Very to the point I can't let you go even when I should. Do you think," he whispered, eyes gleaming with so much honesty my heart pounds."I'd ever be able to let you go?" He whispered, leaning forward and kissing me on my forehead. "Wait until I find out who has been doing this to you and I'll drag them to hell myself."—It's been a week and everything has gone to practically normal. There had been no threat against my life or anything out of the ordinary.My wound in my fo
Bailey's pov"So let me get this straight. Out of everyone, you have to tutor Juliet the witch?" Mira snorted, leaning between the driver seat and passenger seat and twisted her head slightly to look at me.I nod. "Yes. I'll earn some extra credit for college and God knows how much I need to get into that university."Mira's brows furrowed. "Speaking about that, which one are you aiming to get into? I can't make up my mind.""Harvard University."Suddenly the car swerves a bit and Kaleb mumbles an apology. I looked at him confused and noticed the deadly grip he had on the poor steering wheel."What the hell Kaleb?!" Mira hissed as she had ended up bumping her head on the seat."Sorry. I got distracted.""By what? Bailey's response? Is lover boy scared to do long distance?" Mira teased which caused Kaleb to spare her a brief glare. She laughed but I didn't find it amusing as I now realize that Kaleb and I never talked about college and what it could mean for the future of us."What col
Bailey's povThe next morning Kaleb picks me up. Mira is slouched in the backseat, half asleep. " My brain is fried, so don't mind me that I look like a dead." Mira moaned when I entered.I giggled, leaning over the counsel to plant a soft kiss on Kaleb's lips seeing him pout when I hadn't yet. He smiled, and pecked me one more time before reluctantly pulling away."Ew uh that's nasty," Mira faked gag. " I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing you two sharing pda. I'm getting shivers and it's not the good kind."I grinned, buckling myself as I teased her. "Then maybe you should finally give Ryan a chance so that way you won't feel like a third wheel anymore."Kaleb twisted around to stare at his sister. "What does she mean Ryan? Ryan as in my best friend Ryan?" His eyes narrowed on Mira.I turn around to look at her and cringe when she sent me a glare. Oops.She sighed, rolling her eyes. "Before you get upset, nothing has happened between us. It's only been flirting and nothing mor
Bailey's povMr Malik was a very young teacher, probably in his late twenties, and was always rather not so friendly. I've heard rumors of him being a delinquent when he was our age but had changed his ways later on.I just never figured Kristina would be into his type, especially an older man who was never approachable. And was a teacher....a teacher here.And from what I know too, he was uncle Ryan's close friend older son. So I was sure Kristina knew of him before he started teaching here.Kristina's shame is clear on her face and the tears resumed down her cheeks. " I-we it kind of just happened."She took a shaky breath, her cheeks flaming with red. " One minute he was telling me about my shitty art skills when we were alone, the next-Her cheeks redden even more and she looked away from us, her eyes darting to the table. "Well you know what happened next.""Did it happen just this once?" Mira whispered, unsure if she wanted to know any further. I couldn't blame her, we were on a
Mira's povI am so embarrassed Bailey and Kristina saw the last few texts Ryan sent me. I am not only embarrassed but surprised by his words too.And somehow...I will admit I felt a bit funny reading those texts. Funny in a good way. Funny in a very unsettling tingly way.However I could not have the girls notice, so I schooled my features and rolled my eyes. "He's so annoying," I lied and quickly texted him that the tests were not for me but for one of the girls in my class. "Why would he even send this? Gross."When I looked up from the phone I saw Bailey give me a 'Oh please you liked it' look while Kristina raised one of her brows, lifting a hand to wipe her tears and smiled for the first time we got here.I cracked a grin myself, happy that I got to make her smile.However when Ryan texts me back I frowned.Annoying Ryan: Well then I'm not her baby daddy so she should get him to buy it for her.I let out a frustrated breath and smacked my thumbs across the screen, irritated with
Mira's povWe're seated around the lunch table, Kristina, Bailey and of course my brother who cannot leave Bailey's side for one second.She's leaning against him while he's feeding her some fries out of his tray. It's both cute and disgusting. They're already acting like a married couple and they're not even married.I can only imagine how they're going to act when they do tie the knot. I had no doubts anymore that they were endgame. All the doubts I had flew out the moment I realize my brother was in love in a way he had never been before and this love, would be hard to stop.I smiled at the two and looked over at Katrina. Her eyes are downcast on her tray and she has not eaten anything as yet. I frowned.Ryan hadn't given me the tests yet because we never got a chance to meet up privately. So Katrina was building up with more nerves and now it had become hard for her to hide the fact that she was not alright.As my worry for her weighed, a sudden ping sound came to my phone. I had
Mira's povOf course I am stunned, I had not expected him to kiss me. I had not expected him to take well what was his.Before I knew it, I am following his lead, moaning at the taste of him while he grunts and pull me closer. His tongue lapped around mine and as he dipped his tongue in my mouth to brush against mine I shivered.From just the taste of him, the feel of his lips on mine, I could feel him even in my bones. It's a strange feeling, but a good one.And when he pulls away, rest his forehead on mine and smiled that boyish grin that made my heart skip, I wanted more."Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Too many years holding myself back, I couldn't anymore." He breathed, eyes closing as if he was in pain and then peeled them open to stare at me deeply. "Please tell me this was your first kiss."I am breathing roughly from the way he took my mouth and I had to take a minute to get my breathing and my heart under control.When I do, I nod shyly. Was it that bad? I wasn't sure if I h
Bailey's pov"We need to pee," Kristina suddenly uttered, packing up her bag with a bit of haste while typing something on her phone. My brows drew together."We?"She nod, giving me a pointed look. " Yes. We."My eyes widen I realized what she was trying to tell me. I nodded and reluctantly peeled away from Kaleb. Being in his arms always felt so right, I always never wanted to leave."Is this some kind of girl secret code?" Kaleb snorted, his fingers trembling to pull me back into his arms. I smiled and leaned over to kiss him."I'll see you after school," I told him before pulling away. The classes after lunch we had none together.He let out a sigh and pouted adorably, before nodding. Kristina and I left and made our way to the bathroom."Did she get it?" I asked her, eyeing how she was so stiff with nerves. She nodded. "Yes. Texted me. We may have some time to take it now. I don't want to end up taking it home." She cringed.I nod, unsure what I can say or do to ease her obvious
Bailey's povI should have known. There's a bubble of laughter that's stuck in my throat, laughter that would be dry of any emotion they deprived me of if I could let it out. I could see it now, I now could see why this was very likely to be her. Juliet. As she took her elegant time to come down the creaky stairs, disgust twisted within me along with hatred. This makes it two people I now hate. Stefan crossed his arms, his gleaming amused eyes on me. I hated that I was their amusement toy. As her pretty face came into view, the sadist gleam in her eyes made a shiver run down my spine sharply. She's at the end of the stairs, her hand grabbing the handrail as she turns to face me fully. She grinned. " Well hello there Bailey," her giggle makes me nauseous and I rip my teary eyes away from her. Why did she go this far? What have I done to this girl?Stefan snorted, reaching out to grab a lock of my hair. I flinched away and he chortles with her. " Now don't act like we're strangers
Bailey's povThe familiarity of that voice sends a sharp chill down my spine, my heart hammering in my chest. It can't be. It cannot be him.I am imagining this.There was no way.It just can't be.Yet, his scent is familiar, and his voice....Pieces start to fall into place and my stomach lurchs and I gag as realization dawns on me. Someone I considered a friend. Someone I trusted. Why would he do this? Why would he do this to me?Why would Stefan do this to me?A wave of betrayal weighs in my chest and also fury. I can't believe I trusted him. Why would he even do this? I rake my brain, trying to think of why Stefan would even play this sick game with me but came up with nothing.But then when he dipped his head in the crook of my neck and inhaled my scent, sighing with pleasure, a sinking realization dropped in my belly. " You've always smelt so good Bailey."His words sent a sharp shiver of disgust and repulsion clashing within me. His close proximity makes my stomach churn and I
Bailey's povIt was getting late, dark and I knew my parents didn't need to worry about another kid right now. I fished out my phone and texted mom that I was fine and would be home in a second. My eyes caught their many missed calls, and I bit my lip, hoping I had not worried them too much. I caught other missed calls from Kaleb and Mirabella too, but, I couldn't bring myself to text back. I wasn't sure how I could break it to them that my life was falling apart. That if my sister was in pain, then that meant I was in pain too. And if something happened to her, I swallowed. Then something happened to me too. The park was empty now, everyone had already gone home. I peeled away from the swing, my bum a bit numb from sitting on it for hours. My throat was achy from crying and I cleared it, picking up my bag. And that's when I heard it, or better yet felt it behind me. I am about to whirl around, but I am too late as a huge hand clamp around my lower face with a rag. My eyes widen a
Bailey's povThe world stopped. It felt like it stopped. The words that moved passed her lips hit me so hard, that it pushes the air out of my lungs. Cancer. The word was like a mocking echo we had promised to leave behind us. We had won. She had won. I looked down at my little sister, squished between our parents. Her face is unreadable but I know she is well aware of what is going on around her. How? God why? She had won? Hadn't she?She had won!"No," I whispered, my heart tearing apart. I don't think I will have a heart anymore after tonight. It doesn't feel like it will heal after this announcement. I shook my head, my vision going blurry as I begin to cry. " It can't be. You're lying!" The last words come out like a yell, my throat aching with the aggressiveness I used. " Tell me you're lying mom!" I screamed, causing Lil to squirm away and look at me in fear. I quickly toned down my anger, not wanting her to fear me. I approached them, falling to my knees beside the bed, st
Bailey's pov"Can I have another?"I bit my lower lip to fight off the giggle but couldn't fight off the smile as I leaned over the console to plant a soft kiss on Kaleb's lips.He nibbled on my lower lip and before I knew it, we were kissing deeply. I was the first to break away, breathing so rough I had to take in a good amount of air into my lungs to calm down my racing heart.Kaleb lifted his hand and cupped my cheek, his thumb brushing against my cheek lovingly. "I love you," he whispered, every word coming out with such honesty I melted."I love you too," I responded truthfully, kissing his nose and giggling when he scrunched it up in an adorable way."Babe," he whined, pouting slightly. "I'm the one who is supposed to do that."I rolled my eyes, laughing as I pulled away, but for good measure, I planted another kiss on his nose and jokingly murmur. " I think I rather be the man in the relationship," with a teasing grin I successfully got out of the vehicle whilst he was dumbfou
Bailey's povMy fingers curled through his soft strands, gripping them tightly. My eyes closed, my hips buck off the bed and a scream curled in my throat as his tongue rolled around my clit teasingly.He groaned, gripping my thighs to keep me from moving as his lips wrapped around my clit and he sucked."Kaleb," I moaned and he nipped my clit, making me jerk off in surprise."Sam," he reminded, nipping my lips in warning. I giggled, only to moan when the tip of his tongue sank into my opening."Oh Sam," I sighed, my eyes peeling open to stare at him between my thighs. He had a satisfied smirk on his lips while his tongue was very much still inside my opening.With a dark look crossing his eyes, he began to push his tongue in and out of my opening, his upper lip pressing against my throbbing clitoris.He moaned as I grip his hair, my nails unintentionally scraping his scalp. He suckled and slurped, eating me out until I saw the dotings of the little stars in my vision.As he tongue fuc
Bailey's povA loud snore made me look over at the bed. Mira had fallen asleep about five minutes ago and Kristina and I didn't want to wake her up.So much for having a full two hour study time."Hmm I like it like that Ryan,"I furrow my brows and looked over at Kristina who gave me the same look. Amusement."Did she just talk in her sleep?" Kristy snorted giggle, throwing her hand over her mouth. I nodded, pushing my teeth into my bottom lip and hoping I'd not cave and burst into the laughter that was already bubbling in my chest."So good,"Kristina's eyes widen and she mouthed. "I think she's having a sex dream."I nodded, pressing my knuckles to my mouth as I stared at my drooling best friend on the bed. Someone would think she was dreaming about food with the amount of drool that slithered down the sides of her mouth."Definitely about Ryan." I giggled as Mira gripped the sheets and let out a small moan."It honestly feels like we're intruding on their moment." Kristy snorted,
Bailey's pov"I hate this," Mira moaned, turning around to lie on her back and stared, well more like glared at the ceiling.Mira, Kristina and I were doing a last minute group study for the exam tomorrow.Kristina rolled her eyes, lifting her arms over her head and yawned. "For the first time, I agree with you on this."Mira looked over at her in the bed, her eyes twinkling with that mischievous glint I know all too well. "How about you give us the details on what's going on between you and Mr Malik after your talk?" She wiggled her brows and turned around in her stomach.Kristina flushed instantly, her eyes quickly darting to the doorway. "Mira!" She hissed.Mira shrugged. "Parents not home yet and that dweeb of a brother is in his room, mopping because it's girls time and he can't have his girlfriend." She rolled her eyes, scrunching her nose."Hey," I said playfully to her. "Leave my man alone."Mira faked gag. "Did you hear it Kristy? Leave her man alone. Ew."I narrowed my eyes.
Kristina's pov"I'll see you guys later," I waved at Bailey and Mira as they left with Kaleb. They gave me worried glances and I smiled to reassure them that what I am about to do, I am okay and I can handle myself. As I watch the car drive away, I turn back around and stepped back into the school.School had just ended and everyone was making their way home. Except for me of course. I had unfinished business to do. That unfinished business had something to do with a certain art teacher who had been avoiding me like the plague.Justin usually stayed back a bit late. I'm not sure why, but whenever I have cheer practice he's always in his classroom when I pass by.I am praying he's still there and the classroom is empty.As I get closer, my fingers tremble and a spike of my heart rate made me swallow. I hated that I was so full of nerves. I didn't want to go over to him and stand in front of him and be a blabbering idiot.But I needed to do this.With a sudden burst of determination, I
