Arthur’s POV “It’s a game, you’re supposed to play the game like sensible adults.”“Clearly you’re not sensible enough and I don’t want anything to do with you ever again!”(Fours hours ago)“Game night? At whose place?”“Dylan’s.”“Of course, he’s the one person that enjoys organising this sort of thing. Are we going?” Alicia asked, scrolling up and down her phone to find a perfect stocking for the new skirt she bought, the ones Jason paid for.“Yes. I can’t spend the weekend at home, my dad is back. He can’t even take a hint, nobody wants him home. I’m the only one who gets picked on during dinner and gets asked about my grades like he did any better in university.”Alicia chuckled, caressing Anna’s cheeks. “My bestie who has daddy issues just like I do, maybe that’s why I enjoy calling a guy ‘daddy’.”“Don’t be gross. What about your dad? Is he gonna come back for your birthday?”“Nah, he texted though. He said to tell him what I want and I can’t exactly say I just want him to com
Arthur’s POV “Never have I faked an orgasm?”“Pretty sure everyone has done that at least once or twice.”Everyone drank except Alicia. What can she say? It was impossible to fake an orgasm when the likeness of Dylan and Jason exists.“Never have I ever decided to hit it raw and got an STD in the process.”“I don’t ever wanna experience that again.”“Hitting it raw is top tier but get yourselves checked first.”Andre drank and Anna gave him the side eye. Betty drank, Dylan drank, Xavier drank, Damien drank, Lily drank.“Enough with never have I ever, let’s play truth or dare.” Dylan suggested and everyone seemed to want that as they were getting bored of the previous game. “If you can’t answer your truth or do your dare, you’ll have to drink.”“Obviously and if your cup ends up empty, you can decide to stop playing or continue, that’s genuinely up to you but please, if you have low alcohol tolerance, just do your dares and answer your truths and save us the stress of dragging your as
Arthur’s POV “It’s okay when you do it but it’s not when I do it?”“It was a dare!!”“Mine was a dare as well.”“Which you could’ve said no to. You already had a truth which you answered so if you had decided to drink when you were given that dare, nobody would’ve stopped you.”“It’s funny that you’re so angry when you did your dare and even went in for a second kiss. Anna, you need to make up your mind. It’s either you want me or you don’t.”“Out of everyone you could’ve kissed, it was Alicia?”“I kissed her because she was the only one amongst the other girls I felt comfortable with.”“Don’t lie to my face!” Anna seethed, “you kissed her because you knew that’d make me angrier than if it was another girl you kissed. You know how insecure I get sometimes because she’s the better looking one amongst us and you just had to kiss her. You even lifted her up and kissed her, how do you think that makes me feel?”“Selfish. I think you’re selfish and self absorbed and you only care about yo
Arthur’s POV The birthday arrangements were coming together nicely. Alicia wasn’t good at buying alcohol so she just focused on tagging behind Anna while she bought them.“I feel like the alcohol really shouldn’t exceed 12% plus you have really low alcohol tolerance.”“Buy whatever you want, I don’t plan on drinking anyway. I wanna stay sober for a lot of things.”“You’re the birthday girl fool, how the hell do you wanna not drink at your own party, that’s crazy.”“I’m not even feeling it anymore.”Anna stopped pushing the trolley and stared her up and down. “That better be cap man, don’t let that demon that comes over you a few days before your birthday come over you, you’re way past that now and you should outgrow it.”“It’s not just about the demons thingy…I just-I don’t know, I just don’t feel good.” Alicia said, sighing. “Hey, hey, is everything okay?”“I don’t know how to answer that, I feel like I’ve fucked myself up in every possible way and it’s gonna come biting me back in
Arthur's POV “I’m sorry what? What-bitch, what?”“For fuck’s sake, could you keep your voice down? Someone might hear.” Alicia said, looking at her door for reasons best known to her. She knew her mum wasn’t gonna be home in a week and her birthday was on Friday but her elder brother was coming home today and she needed to clean that house before he came home but that could wait.“You’re joking? Who? What cousin? I know half of your cousins are adults and the rest are little kids and the adults are all married, coupled up or having baby mamas and baby daddies so which cousin are we talking about?”Alicia sighed, “It’s someone you don’t expect.”“Who? Alicia, who is it?”Alicia said nothing for a minute before mumbling “Jason.”“Who? I didn’t hear you, could you speak up please, I’m losing patience here.”“Jason, Jason from uni that plays basketball. The one I don’t shut up about.”Anna’s eyes went wide and she stood up as if that would help her understand and digest the information b
Anna’s PovI’m nervous. I’m so fucking nervous that my hands are sweaty. It’s not like I don’t spend an unusual amount of time with Andre but this is just different. We had sex…a lot the night of the game. We went at it like rabbits and he hasn’t stopped checking up on me and it’s never happened before but I’m stupidly shy right now. I’ve been staring at his text for ten minutes. I don’t know what to reply to it but at the same time I know but I’m too scared.Andre: [Be my girlfriend already….and come back to bed. Why are you hiding in my guest room?]Author’s POVAnna smiled at the message. Everything was cute. Andre was considerate enough to not just ask her but make his room look special with balloons and shit then had a laptop on which he had written ‘Your cute ass better say yes to being my girlfriend or I’ll cry, for real’.Anna cried and ran away, locking herself in his guest room but grinning like a fool at the same time.Anna: [I don’t want to.]Andre replied immediately. [Yo
Arthur’s POV“Did you tell him?” Anna said to Alicia who was staring into space while they decorated her living room for her party.“What?”“Bitch…” Anna was getting frustrated and she slapped Alicia’s arm, ignoring her cry of pain. “Did you fucking tell your cousin A.K.A Jason that both of you can’t continue messing around with each other?”Alicia deflated and sighed and Anna didn’t need to hear the rest. “You…what is wrong with you?”“I tried, I swear, I really fucking tried. Look at him, he’s impossible to resist. I-I said it, I said it to his face and I thought it was gonna work out well but instead he made me horny and I gave him a blowjob.”“Oh my God.”“I know I know, I’m stupid and silly and I shouldn’t let my hormones make me act out but he makes me feel things Anna, you should know and understand exactly how I feel because Andre makes you feel like that. I just can’t resist Jason, it’s impossible and I’ve tried but I’m not the strongest soldier right now and I don’t think I’l
Arthur’s POV Alicia left earlier to go buy some things on the list while Anna stayed back to finish decorating. She was half decorating and half texting her boyfriend, Andre, that she didn’t notice Frank leaning against the doorframe and staring at her.“He makes you happy, doesn’t he?”Anna is startled obviously but she pretends not to be, the usual shyness and self-consciousness that always takes over her whenever Frank was near taking over her. She stared down at her phone and nodded at his question. “He does.”Frank nodded, walking towards her until he was close enough for their bodies to touch and he knew exactly the effect he had on Anna because she immediately took a deep breath, eyes looking up at Frank and morphed beautifully and innocently.“And how do I make you feel?” Frank asked in a baritone voice, his thumb reaching up to caress her cheeks and he knew exactly how much Anna liked that, liked affection, desired it. “Frank-“ Anna whispered, unable to stop herself from st
Arthur’s POVAlicia didn’t understand while her heart was racing as much as it was. Where were they going together? She got up even before Philip could say anything to her and she followed them until she got to the top of the stairs and she had a door close and her heart skipped even more.She walked towards the door and stood there wondering if she should go in or stay outside and just listen. What would be so gut-wrenching was if she heard moaning.Andre wouldn’t, right?But Anna could and Anna had always been so good at executing her many seductive moves.“Why did you bring me up here?” Alicia heard Andre’s voice and she got closer to the door to listen.“I wanted to talk, you’ve been avoiding me.”“That’s because there’s really nothing for us to discuss, do you not get it?”“I do but Andre, how do you even not love me anymore over a simple mistake that anybody can make?”“Are you delusional? A mistake you made and stuck to, you are dating Frank. You didn’t cheat, apologise and com
Arthur’s POVThe party was in full swing, at least that’s what the girl who was twerking on a random ginger head boy thought, the guy doing a handstand while chugging alcohol seems to believe it to, Dylan who just made out with a girl due to a dare seemed to have enjoyed the kiss because he pulled her in for another one and the brunette loved it. Andre just arrived in a simple outfit that he knew everyone would love. He scanned the whole environment, pretending he was trying to find Jason but he just wanted to find Alicia. Was she coming? He didn’t know but he heard some girls talking about going to the party and Alicia’s name was mentioned although he didn’t understand why they were talking about Alicia all of a sudden. “Andre, over here!” One of his friends from basketball called him over and he walked towards them, plopping down at the empty seat beside him.“I thought you weren’t coming, are you okay?”“Yeah yeah, just tired. I’ve been so stressed lately and it’s sorta weighing m
Andre’s pov“You kissed her.”*********How did she know that?She glanced at me and started to get out of her seatbelt.“Hey hey, wait, can we talk about it? I don’t want you to be sad all day because of whatever is going through your head.”She relaxed and nodded, avoiding touching my hands.{Now that I think about it, she did know about the kiss with Anna after all.}“Why are you upset that I kissed Anna?”Let’s start with that “I’m not upset, I- I just want to know why you kissed her-”And not you.“Did you want it to be you?”She didn’t want to look me in the eye and I already got my answer but I wanted to hear her say it.“N- no.”“You’re stuttering, baby. Be honest with me, you don’t lie to me, remember?”She nodded innocently and I smiled, but my heart wanted to bust, she wanted me after all, fuck Paul.“You wanted me to kiss you?”She nodded again.“Words, princess.”“I did, I do.”Present even.“Why haven’t you ever asked me?”“I know you don’t see me the way you see Anna.”
Maybe don’t tell me about your bigger boobs when I’m trying to not fall for you, kiss you and hold you in my arms.“No, they don’t and you look nice. Jeans look great too-” and your ass is perfect but I couldn’t say that, she was 16, I shouldn’t even be thinking those things.“My mum said not to always have you over now that I’ve surprisingly matured. She said you look at me a certain way.”She was so innocent.I smiled at her, “what way, love?”“I told you to stop calling me that.” She ran off but I could see the cute redness that formed in her cheeks and I followed behind her as we got into my car.“Why doesn’t your mum want me to come over?”“She says because you’re a boy and like I said, you look at me a certain way.”“What way did she mean?”She shrugged, “I don’t know, maybe in a friendly way?”I chuckled and turned so I was facing her and helped her get her seatbelt in but I didn’t move away immediately, “and you, how do you think I look at you?”Of course she’d blush, it was s
Andre’s povI heard her sigh.“We can’t- Andre. We can’t.”“Because you don’t want me back?” I hated that I sounded so hurt, vulnerable and so pained and I wondered if it hurt Alicia to hear me sound like that.“Because-”“Jason, right?”The text showed it’s been read but she wasn’t typing anything and that kinda confirmed everything I thought. I dropped my phone and looked up to see Jason gravbing himself a drink from my fridge and I wondered if Jason was actually her exact type. I got tattoos for her, got muscles for her, I tried to look like Jason but the skin colour obviously can’t be achieved seeing his a light skinned boy and I’m chocolate skinned but I doubt she’s ever had a problem with that.Even in a threesome, he managed to make love to her even I didn’t get a chance and when I almost did, Anna ruined my chance.“You good?” Jason asked as he plopped beside me and I nodded, turning away to grab the remote and put on something because the last thing I wanted was to have a con
Author’s pov“You fucked which cousin?”********I was startled when I heard Frank and I turned to him, avoiding his eyes. “It’s nothing.” I tried to walk away and he blocked me. Very chic move.“Anna just said you fucked a cousin, what is she talking about?”“Shouldn’t you be more concerned about her yapping about wanting Andre back?”“That’s the least of my problems right now. I’m a grown man and I won’t chase a woman who clearly wants something different than what I want.”“You lose them how you get them after all.”Frank rolled his eyes at me, clearly not in the mood to hear anything regarding Anna wanting Andre back.“Just answer my question, what did she mean by that?”“It’s just a stupid joke we had back then. I promise, it’s nothing.”Frank looked like he didn’t believe it but he sighed, dropping it and I walked upstairs to my room.Anna is an idiot and she’s bound to ruin so many things for me if I keep her around.My phone vibrated and only the name pissed me off. Anger bub
Arthur’s POV Dylan drove down a busy road where there were lots of fast foods because he wanted Alicia to choose what she wanted without really having to go somewhere he wanted to eat at.“Your eyes catch anywhere you'd like to eat at?”Alicia shook her head, “Anything is fine to be honest, what do you wanna eat though? I’m honestly fine with anything.”“Is everything okay with you? I feel like you changed, no offence but it’s not exactly based on good or bad but more like your energy has grown so low, like you’re drained or something. Has something been bothering you?”Alicia gave him a weak smile, “people just tend to drain your energy especially when you’re already at your lowest but I try my best but it still gets exhausting.”“I’m always here if you wanna talk even though I know we kind of fell off, our friendship and all, I didn’t want that to happen but it happened anyways and it’s not your fault.”“Of course it’s mine, I was the one who didn’t wanna communicate with you anymo
Arthur’s POV It was Monday again and Alicia hated it because now she had to see every single person she was avoiding. The worst part about it was she also had to pretend like she didn’t despise everyone’s gut because they’ve been lying to her. Andre should’ve been honest, if he missed Anna, that was completely fine but he constantly lied about it making her look like a fool and she didn’t deserve that, nobody did. It felt like he was love bombing her and she fell for all of his bullshits.She also felt bad for Frank, she knew her brother wasn’t the type to jump into something that he wasn’t sure of. She knew back then before he started uni that he liked Anna but he didn’t want to act on it because she was still young and he had to pretend he didn’t like her so he wouldn’t ruin Anna and Alicia’s friendship. Alicia remembers vividly the night he had left, Anna had cried her eyes out and when Alicia had asked her why she was crying like she lost someone dear to her (Alicia obviously kne
Author’s povIt was all starting to make sense to Alicia, she was a rebound wasn’t she? Andre needed someone to get over his feelings for Anna and he thought the perfect person to use was his other best friend. Alicia stared at the picture on her phone, the one Anna had sent her. It was a picture of Andre laying on her chest, asleep. He looked so peaceful, like that was the best place he’d rather be. That picture was taken two days ago. That same day, he had come over to Alicia’s place to chill and he didn’t mention being with Anna before coming over.She was so stupid to think he wanted her, it was all bullshit. He just missed Anna so much and used her not think so much about Anna.She didn’t even want to listen to the conversation anymore so she peeped into Andre’s wardrobe and grabbed a pair of shorts, put them on and left the house.********Alicia didn’t go to school on Monday, she didn’t feel like it. She had put her phone on do not disturb when she left Andre’s house nechss she
