It was Thursday. I walked inside the school building with Shelly, Aubrey and the guys. Ryder had yet to come. Michael drove him to the hospital for his first check up this morning.
When I reached my locker, my steps faltered when I noticed Ryder leaning against the locker beside mine. When did Michael drop him off?
His chest was on full display with just the first few buttons of his shirt unbuttoned. He seemed relaxed, laid back and unbothered that people, mostly girls were looking his way.
I felt my own heart rate spike up when I took in his appearance. How could someone look so damn handsome even with a bandage wrapped around his forehead?
Girls swooned over him. Some couldn’t take their eyes off of him. A few guys even threw him a pointed look when their girlfriends got distracted by Ryder’s sexiness.
I felt a strong emotion burned through me. My heart was thudding so hard in my ches

Lea’s point of view:I chuckled quietly while everyone bursted out into guffaws.“I never knew you could dance bro.” Alex choked out between guffaws.Alex’s hearty laughter was so contaminating that everyone couldn’t help but laugh along.Ryder’s face reddened in embarrassment. He just pouted angrily, crossed his arms over his chest and glanced everywhere else except at us when Alex made that comment.“Just imagine… The Ryder freaking Wyatt fucking d-dancing -” Jake couldn’t even complete his words when Ryder flashed him a death stare, causing Jake to stutter out before fidgeting in his seat.“Sorry!” I apologized before grinning sheepishly.“You just keep surprising me.” I explained when he threw me a pointed look but his eyes narrowed down into slits before a glint of mischief flashed through them.“This is going to be

Lea’s point of view:Without wasting another second, I took out my phone and called Shelly to ask her about what would be the appropriate clothes to wear when learning tango. I ended up telling her about what had happened.She couldn’t stop gushing for me.I felt my entire face go beetroot red listening to her thoughts about what could happen if I wore the red dress she bought for me back when both Aubrey and her went shopping for some clothes for me.I rummaged through the clothes and there it was, the red dress Shelly wanted me to wear but I still thought that it would be too much since I would just be learning the dance at home.“Did you find it?” I heard Shelly through the phone. I could also hear Max getting impatient in the background.“Yeah, I got it.”“Great, that’s the dress I was talking about.”“Do you really think that I should wear this? I

Lea’s point of view:This kiss was so different than the first one.He parted my lips with his soft and tantalizing tongue. I nestled against his lean and muscular body, fitting my body against his chest.His arms around me tightened and pressed me more into him. My eyes fluttered close. Being right here with Ryder was the best thing that could have ever happened to me in life.As he kissed me, he stroked my arms, my shoulders and neck with his fingertips while his right hand held my lower back.I moved impossibly closer, pressing our bodies together, for more. I could feel the heat radiating from him.His left hand trailed upwards, brushing against my shoulders. I shivered when his hand came into contact with my skin.I drew in a sharp breath, half of indignation and half of desire.He chuckled through the kiss when he noticed his effect on me. My whole body was tingling when we finally straightened up a

Lea’s point of view: The next morning, I woke up with a big smile on my face. I had a feeling that my day was going to be somewhat good today. After I got ready for school, I went downstairs to prepare breakfast. It was the first time that I was cooking something in Ryder’s kitchen. After I had left my old town and house, I couldn’t bring myself to cook anything. I repeatedly got flashbacks of how I was always forced to cook food for my father. I shook my head to get rid of those bad memories and started cooking. I fried some beacon and eggs and toasted some bread before taking some milk out of the fridge and a box of cereals out of the cupboards. When I was done plating the food, I got myself some coffee from the coffee machine. I gasped when a pair of arms wounded around my waist from behind. “Good morning, kitten.” Ryder whispered into my left ear before pecking me on my left cheek.

Lea’s point of view:“Can you at least tell me where we are going?” I asked while shifting to a better position.“We are here.” Ryder stated right when he turned the steering wheel to the left to park his car by the side of the street.I frowned and strained my neck to get a better look at the over-crowded entrance.“Is that the county fair?” I inquired with a wide smile while my heart bounced in anticipation.“Do you like it?” I was appalled when I saw the anxious look on Ryder’s face.“Like it? I love it. It’s been so long since I have been to some carnival. Thank you!” I reassured him and then gave him a hug to show him just how grateful I was to him for bringing me here.“This 2 hours ride was totally worth it.” I blithely added.“What are we waiting for then? Let’s go!” Ryder exclaimed with a girlish

Lea’s point of view: “Ryder, stop!” I seized his right arm to stop him from advancing towards the boy. I thought the boy would return back to his place behind us quietly seeing Ryder’s death glare but he did something unexpected. He leaned forward towards me and draped an arm presumptuously over my shoulders to taunt Ryder. Right when Ryder took a threatening step towards him in anger, I pushed my two plushies into Ryder’s arms, halting him and grasped the boy’s hand and threw his arm off my shoulders. “In your dreams, buddy.” Ryder smirked in pride and crossed his arms over his chest and the two plushies to watch the scene being unfolded when I gave him a I-got-this look when I remembered some self-defense techniques Aubrey taught me. I raised an eyebrow when the boy shrugged his shoulders at me. He appeared unaffected by the insult. “You’ll definitely be in my dreams tonight, naked.” He smirked smugly and poi

Lea’s point of view: I glanced at Ryder with a frown when he parked the car on an unfamiliar street which was still bustling with people. It was already nine o’clock and we were still far from home. It seemed like in this town, a completely different atmosphere reigns at night, yet I realized later on that the busy street never slept until later at night when we ended up spending two whole hours there. There was always going and coming of people, police cars patrolling the area and the restaurants and street snacks vendors remained open till late at night. I sighed in delight when a delicious smell of food wafted in the air as we neared a food truck selling Mexican tacos which tasted amazingly luscious. We couldn’t stop ourselves from eating a late night dinner when we tasted those tacos. It was already nearing midnight when we reached home. I was sleepy but I did not show it when Ryder pulled me into the kitchen and o

Lea’s point of view:After I wore the knee-length black dress Aubrey and Shelly chose for me, I applied some light make-up.I let my hair down, wore my high-heels and walked out before locking my bedroom door.I squeezed my eyes shut for a second when I got out. The music was overwhelmingly deafening.The music was muffled while I was in the room with the closed door but now, it was time to face the real deal, my first high-school party which was organized by Greg, Shelly’s friend but it was being held at Ryder’s place due to some housing issues at Greg’s house.Wondering whether Ryder was still in his room, I peeked through his slightly ajar door to notice some movement. I smiled and sauntered inside as if I owned the place.I was greeted with his signature smirk and shirtless figure, and like always, my heart raced. It still got to me every time he would cast me a simple look.His eyes

Lea’s point of view:The racetrack area was all hustle and bustle. When Ryder told me about his illegal racing matches, I was repugnant. I couldn’t accept that he was into such dangerous and violent sports but seeing his passion for it, I grew a liking for it too.The moment Ryder left to go get ready for his race along with the guys; I leaned against Jake’s car beside Aubrey and Shelly.I crossed my arms over my chest before sighing.Thinking back to this past week, I smiled when I thought of my mother. We spent some quality time together, cooking, watching movies and even listening to bedtime stories like we used to do back in the days.My mom was actually quite pleased with my decision of making her stay here. She thought that it was best to start anew in this new town as she did not want to go back to the bitter memories she had made with her husband in the past.She also was not as anxious as she origi

Lea’s point of view:“- I was so relieved when I saw the police paramedics rush in to get me out of that room -”“I’m so sorry, mom.” I choked back my tears and wrapped my arms around her.A minute of silence passed by before she pulled me close to her chest and kissed my temple lovingly the way she would always do back in the days.She swept the tears rolling down my cheeks and shook her head slowly.“I’m sorry for leaving you, Lea. I should have never left you alone with him. I’m the one who should apologize.”“No, mom… I always hoped that you would come back to get me but I killed that hope when you never returned like you had promised… I should have never stopped hoping -”“You never stopped hoping, Lea and this -” She lifted her chain off my chest and smiled, deep in thought. “- right here, proves it.” Sh

Lea’s point of view: The moment Ryder drove into his driveway, he slowed down when we noticed Jason’s police jeep parked right in front of the house and a woman sitting down on the front steps of the patio. I frowned faintly in confusion when I got out of Ryder’s car and glanced at Ryder to find his eyebrows furrowed deep in confusion too. I guessed Jason did not inform Ryder about him coming over to his place at this time of the day. I squinted to get a better view of the woman who had her hair covering the side of her face when she abruptly glanced up in my direction. My eyes widened in disbelief as I quickly took in a short and quick breath through my mouth in bewilderment. Different kind of emotions hit me at once, stopping me in my tracks when I recognized the woman whose eyes welled up with tears the second she saw me staring at her. “Mom?” I whispered in a gasping manner. I hesitantly stepped back when s

Lea’s point of view:“You three… Detention!” The principal’s order from earlier flashed into my mind when I walked down the hallway towards the detention room.Jake had humphed childishly and Connor had slumped defeatedly in his seat while I had simply gulped down nervously when the principal’s angry gaze trailed over us from behind his table.When we had left his office, Connor shifted uncomfortably while scratching his chest which had patches of dried up food.“I badly need a shower.” Connor had said before making his way towards the gym.“This taste good… I wonder what sauce this is.” I had almost gagged when Jake had licked his index finger.I got yanked back when I was about to push open the detention door.I squeezed my eyes shut and opened my mouth to scream bloody murder when someone covered my mouth, muffling my scream.I jumped slight

Lea’s point of view:I gasped in horror when the cup of hot coffee accidentally flew out of Jake’s hands and exploded right on Connor’s head.Connor screwed up his face and shot out of his seat while yelping in pain as he tried shaking the hot coffee off his head and stopping it from sliding down his neck and body. “You fucking stupid – Shit, damn it!” Connor yelled and seized Jake’s collar angrily but ended up pushing him away from him.I squeezed my eyes shut before glancing away when he unexpectedly took off his shirt.I heard the girls having lunch from around our table squealed in delight before giggling and whispering among themselves.I cried out in surprise when I felt myself being lifted up from my chair and then everything went upside down.I opened my eyes to find myself slung upside down over Ryder’s right shoulder.I held myself up by pressing
