(ATLAS’S POV)
With the look on her face one would have thought she saw a ghost. Of course she would be surprised to death. Why on earth would anyone imagine me climbing in through the window? I am Atlas Fucking Shaughnessy for crying out loud! But that just proves my theory on this whole madness. Alana Delaware had to be a witch! It was her third day in my life and here I was climbing in through a window. “I..um…yes I’m here Paige. I’m sorry can I call you back?” She quickly said to the person she was on the phone with. Then she ended the phone call and hurriedly went to lock her door before turning around me shakily. Her eyes were still wide open in shock and they looked like they were going to pop out anytime soon. This time around instead of her facing turning red, she looked plain white. As I said, like she had seen a ghost. “How did you find me? What are you…” she seemed to have lost the words to continue just like yesterday. “I have my ways.” I answered her simply. “You shouldn’t be in here. You can’t be in here.” She said to me and I realized that I liked the way she spoke. Soft and very clear. Most time she sounded shy but I enjoyed the tone she used now. Solid and a little bit stern. “I can do whatever I like.” I said pacing about her room as I looked around. She gave me way to pass as I did. “Besides, you didn’t seem to think there was a problem when you were doing it too.” I said to her as I turned around to face her. “You have not only been stalking me for years. You also came in to my room, sniffing and stealing my clothes. You even invaded my privacy when you saw me naked.” She narrowed her eyes and her cheeks turned red. Oh, there it is! I said enjoying the satisfaction that came with watching her squirm in embarrassment and discomfort. “You didn’t come to school today.” I said breaking the silence. “I fell ill.” She muttered audibly enough for me. I laughed shortly. “You don’t expect me to believe that do you?” I said. She sighed then and looked me directly in the eyes. Her eyes were like piercing sapphires and I cursed inwardly at how beautiful they looked. “Look, I’m very sorry for all that I wrote about you. And I’m sorry for smelling your shirt and then taking it away. Can we just forget this happened? Please .” She begged me in a nervous voice . I liked that I made her so uncomfortable. It showed that I had that some effect on her. I walked closer to her leaving only a few feet between us. “That’s not how it works.” I said lowly to her my eyes never leaving her. Her eyes lowered again as if she was unable to hold my gaze and this time, I tipped her chin up with my finger making her resume looking in to my eyes. Damn! She had to be a witch or maybe an enchantress! Yes, that sounded more like it! “I expected a different welcome from you.” I said to her. “Your notebook gave me that impression.” She didn’t speak but her eyes seemed to be saying a thousand things. “If you want me to leave then I will leave now. Just say the word.” I said in a whisper. (LANA’S POV) His whisper sent a thousand goosebumps to settle on my body and a chill ran down my spine. My stomach was battling with a billion butterflies and when Atlas’s eyes flicked to my lips and then my eyes, I wanted to melt right away. Please let this not be a dream! Please let this not be a dream! Or at least let me not wake up now! I thought to myself. And then I decided to do what I would do if it was a dream. I stood on my tip toes so that I could level up with him and I kissed him. It was a brief meeting of our lips but it sent many shock waves from my head to my feet. I stepped back with my heart racing from the effect. Something in Atlas eyes looked confused or amused. I’m not sure which. I now worried that he would be angry at me for doing that. I mean, how dare I kiss him! I was a geek and a nobody and he was the Atlas Shaughnessy!!! But then the most surprising and the best thing happened, Atlas came forward closing the space between us and he pulled me in to his arms dropping his lips on mine. It was like the first kiss all again but even way better. Fireworks exploded like in my head as his hands circled my waist and pulled me closer to him. My hands found his way to his hair which was as soft as I imagined it to be. Our tongues gently massaged each other and when he moaned, I felt my stomach turn inside out in excitements. We held on to each other and moved to bed where Atlas lay on top of me as we kissed. His hands moved slowly under my shirt and I did not want him to stop. He got to my breasts and massaged gently earning moans from me. I could not believe that I was hearing my own voice. My body was on fire but in a cool and sensual way. I only snapped out of my thoughts when he popped the buttons of my jeans. I pushed Atlas back and jumped up in a start. I was now breathing heavily as I looked at him. Lips swollen from kissing, ruffled blonde hair. God! He looked so handsome that I wanted to lunge at him again. But then, he wore his hoodie up and without a word, he quickly turned around and went out my window just the way he had come in. I sat in a frozen position for a very long time. Not only had Atlas Shaughnessy come in through my window, I had my first and a hot make out session with him!! Okay, bite me now.(LANA’S POV)“Alana Marissa Delaware! What in the name of God is wrong with you?!” It was my mother’s sharp voice that pierced right through my thoughts and made me focus on the present. My eyes widened in shock and I gasped realizing I was overfilling a glass cup with water. I put down the jug immediately and then proceeded to the bigger offense. The overflowing water had poured on to the table and then in turn poured on Daddy’s lap. The expression he had on his face was one that said ‘what the hell is wrong with you?’ But of course he couldn’t say that to me because I am his child. His only child.“I’m sorry Daddy. I’m so sorry.” I apologized quickly with my palms pressed together.Dad sighed and then looked at me with concern on his face.“Are you okay? Is everything okay?” He asked me.“Yes I’m fine. I just got lost thinking.” I replied sharply.“About what?” Mum demanded displeased.Well there was no way I could tell them what I was thinking about . No way in hell!Flashes of A
(ATLAS’S POV)I knew that she was frozen because of the effect I have on her. I was surprised that she could even look me directly in the eyes but I liked it. I got to see her face so up close and I was torn between what was the more attractive feature on her face between her gorgeous sapphire eyes and her perfect pink pouty lips.“What do you want to ask me?” She said and her voice came out in short breaks. Like she could barely get the words out. “Why do you write those things?” I asked her.Her left eyebrow went up as if she was surprised. I thought she would stammer or lose her words the way she does when she is nervous.“Because it’s how I feel about you.” Her words were clear, her voice was clearer.I gave a chuckle.“And how do you feel about me?” I tested.She didn’t waver. “I feel a lot of things.” Her voice was soft and dreamy. “You almost sound like her.” I let out.“Like who?” Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.“The girl who writes in that book.” I said my eyes focuse
(LANA’S POV)Being close to Atlas was way better than watching him from a distance. If you looked closely enough, you would definitely find something new to love. Like today as we sat in the sparkling mustang he was driving and I watched him endlessly. I noticed the hair on his body shimmered in Gold when sunlight reflected against his skin. I made a mental note to myself to stroke it gently with my fingers the next time I have the opportunity. Oh! I will be sure to do that.“Alana.” Atlas’s stern sounding voice made me turn my attention to the window instantly. There was no need for him to say any more words. He was scolding me for openly ogling at him.“Lana.” I corrected when I felt the moment of uncomfortable silence had passed.“What?”“It’s Lana. Call me, Lana.” I said in my own stern voice.I could slightly see him turn towards me for a glance but I was not facing him so I could not be sure.“I prefer Alana.” He said in a blunt voice. “Every one calls me Lana.” I insisted.“I
(LANA'S POV) I am very familiar with the popular saying that no one is perfect. But that happens to be a big lie because I know someone who is the most perfect being on earth. His name is Atlas Shaughnessy and I have been writing and daydreaming about him from the first day I saw him. That was the first day I walked in to the cafeteria nervously clutching my tray on my first day in Golden Child's High. He was sitting with the most nonchalant look on his perfect face. It wasn't hard to find out who he was considering everyone had his name on their lips. Atlas is the third out of five sons of Mr Maverick Shaughnessy, a business tycoon and the richest man in Golden valley city. Mr Shaughnessy owns several productive companies in the country and as I have mentioned earlier, he has five handsome sons. Their names are Andres, Alderson, Atlas, Adrian and Avril. They are like young gods of Gold Valley city. They have the looks, the wealth and the class. Atlas is my mate in school
(LANA’S POV)“Earth to Lana!” Daisy’s voice made me snap out of my thoughts. "Writing in your notebook again? If I didn't know you so well, I would have made sure to name you as a suspect for the Coral Writer." Daisy says to me before popping a fry in her mouth . I sigh and snap my book shut. "Well it's a good thing that you know me so well." I reply with playful sarcasm. "Five years and you still aren't used to my bad habits.""We are. That's why we never get tired of teasing you." Paige says and she gives me a playful nudge. Paige and Daisy, My Moon and My Sun. The best thing Golden Child's High has given to me. (Asides from Atlas Shaughnessy)."So, I was saying there's going to be a party this weekend and we might have a good chance to sneak in." Paige tells me wriggling her eyebrows."I'll pass, thank you." I replied."Oh come on!" Paige says with a groan."Told you." Daisy said with a shrug. "Don't you want to experience a high school party even once?" Paige pleaded."She
(ATLAS'S POV)I had been listening to music with my AirPods in the bathroom and so I had no idea that someone was in the room. When I stepped out of the shower without a towel like I usually do, I was shocked to find a petite girl in a big cleaner's uniform with her back turned to me as she smelled my Shirt. That uniform still did not hide her curvy bottom."What the-" The words came out on impulse and that was when she turned around and saw me. So I really don't know what I was expecting, especially with that curvy, petite body but when she turned around, I lost my mind briefly for sure. Saying this girl was beautiful would do no Justice to her. She was damn freaking gorgeous! Her shiny blonde hair was wrapped in a bun and it made her sharp large blue eyes which widened in shock more obvious against a sort of apple faced shape. She had a small pouty mouth that was slightly opened in shock. Her face turned red and her eyes trailed down my chest and dropped below my waist. That
(LANA’S POV)I never thought that I would ever see myself standing so close to Atlas ever. He had pulled me in to a corner in the hallway and for me it suddenly seemed like we were the only ones in the world.My nose was already filled with his cologne and it took me back to yesterday. I knew that my cheeks had gone red again, I could feel the heat.“You don’t have anything to say to me, do you?” He asked me.His voice was as sexy as the rest of him was. Not very deep but hoarse in a kind of cool manner. It made my legs shake. I would have thought that being so close to him would at least show me his imperfections but his face was perfectly sculpted and my brain suddenly stopped functioning properly.“That’s funny. Your book made me think that you had a lot to say…..” He said and I was shocked when his eyes fluttered to my lips briefly before he added in his alluring voice, “And a lot to do.” I could feel my breath hitching in my throat.“I…I am really sorry for sniffing your clo
