Chapter 107 - Excuses
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Lexi? The food's ready."
I immediately opened my eyes after Mitch softly woke me up. I accidentally fell asleep on the couch. "I-I'm sorry for falling asleep like that." Mitch ruffled my hair while chuckling. They had already finished cooking, and I didn't even help them. Royce brought the food to the living room, and it looked like we were having a feast. Isn't this too early for the Christmas celebration?
"Do you want more pasta?" Mitch asked, treating me as if I were his child. "What about you, idiot?" He turned to Royce. He's calling Royce an idiot, even though he was blushing before just by the mention of Royce's name.
Royce didn't mind; he looked calm now, unlike when he first met Mitch. Remember that time when he would always do nothing but glare at Mitch? He even teased him so much for being a ball boy, but now he would always go with Mitch's every whim.

I smiled back to Irish, but I couldn't say anything back.Why is that?Irish turned to Ezra while holding the gift I saw she gave to him earlier in the academy grounds. "You can stay for dinner; my mom wanted to thank you." She said, which caused me to feel more confused.Did Ezra lie about being in Joaquin's house? How would Irish's mom be there?Looking at Ezra, he's too kind to reject an invitation like that, and he looks like he'll come back with Irish from where they came from.However, my hand moved on its own and grabbed Ezra's shirt, stopping him from moving away from me. That's when Irish grabbed Ezra's hand while looking at me. "Would you let go?" She asked with a forced smile, but my hand didn't let go of Ezra's shirt even if she told me that. "What's the problem, Alexis? Do you need Ezra?"Ezra looked at me with an expectant look on his face after Irish asked

I thanked Ezra for helping me get home safely, and he smiled as he patted my head before leaving. His warm hand and soft gaze on me made my heart beat faster as I watched him walk away.It would be great if we could spend more time together.Wait, I shouldn’t think like that. I already said that I’m willing to spend a day with him, so why am I getting sad just because we parted away now? I shook my head; let’s just get inside the house.Chewy greeted me with her sweet gestures as I got in, and Alina called my name. “Where did you go? Dad was worried about you.” She said as he picked Chewy up. What? Dad’s here? Would he get mad at me? “Don’t worry, he’s not mad. Just worried.” Alina patted my head as she smiled.“Right, Lean’s the one who’s mad.”“ION!”That’s when I hea

“What?”I immediately dropped my phone after that.I ACCIDENTALLY TOLD EZRA WHAT WAS ON MY MIND!“Alexis? What was that sound? Are you okay?” Ezra asked with a worried voice which caused me to feel even worse for what I had done. I picked up my phone while trying to regain my calm.“I-I’m sorry, my grip loosened all of a sudden, and I dropped my phone.”I heard Ezra chuckling, which caused me to feel even more embarrassed. “You’re such a klutz.” He said while still laughing, and I sat on my bed feeling more embarrassed. “Oh right, coach Alfred and I decided that we should have the year-end party before 24, so maybe it’ll be on 23. Would you be free on 24?” Ezra asked straightforwardly, thus making me feel my face heating up.“Y-Yes. I don’t have any schedule on the 24th.”&nbs

“You look so pretty, Ion.”I couldn’t help but blush while watching my reflection in the mirror. I’m wearing a long black wig styled with half braids on both sides behind my ears. Wearing a white off-shoulder short sleeves top with frills and narrow shoulder straps tucked in a black mini skirt right above my knees. Lean made me wear 2 inches’ black block heel sandals. Even though I’m used to wearing high heels, I don’t know if I could handle it well while walking around.“Hey, there’s someone outside— Ion?! What happened to you?” Andre received a massive blow on the head from Alina after he reacted like that. “Why is my little brother dressed like a little sister?” He had tears in his eyes, but Lean just gave me my purse and pushed me out of the room.I went downstairs, but Andre followed me until I opened the door. “Ale

"My stomach's going to burst." Ezra laughed a ton after I'd said that. It's good that we took the private room here in this fast-food chain because it'll be embarrassing if people recognize Lia while she's eating so many foods all at once. "I told you we can't finish all of these." He said while patting my back after finishing the big burger I ordered. I really wanted to try eating it, but I didn't know it'd be too heavy on my stomach. "Should I let the staff know that we'll be taking these out?" I shook my head. "N-No. We should at least try and finish them—"What I was about to say was interrupted when we heard children talking on the other side of the glass wall. "What should I do, brother? I lost the money for our food." I noticed two children, their clothes are both dirty, and their hair is messy. "I-It's the only time we could eat something

“Oh? Ion, you’re back. What happened with your—“I didn’t let Lean say anything as I rushed to my room. Embarrassing. It’s too embarrassing to even think about again. How could I kiss someone like that without their permission? How could I? “Why did you do that me?! How will you face Ezra now?!” I threw my body on the bed and tossed it around like a monkey. I covered my face with my pillow as I screamed at the top of my lungs.“I’m so stupid.”I stared at the ceiling after removing the pillow from my face. My heart still wouldn’t calm down, and my face was hot, especially my lips. I didn’t even notice I was already touching my lips while thinking about how soft Ezra’s lips were. That kiss was far better than in my dream, but now there’s no way I could face Ezra the same as usual. He’ll hate me for doing somet
Trapped in Lace Chapter 114 - Jade
Jade scoffed as if she couldn't believe my question. "How could you, Ion. Your sister's long dead, but you keep on using her to gain money? Utterly disgusting!" She brushed her hair backward again, showing her pink under hair dye which made me remember something."W-What's your full name?" I asked, but Jade scoffed again.She raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "You can't figure who I am by yourself? I see you're still the same stupid coward I once knew— Oh, you improved. You became a manipulative person who manipulates those who came to love Lia." Jade said as she scoffed again. "It's me, Jade Angelique. Lia's best friend." She rolled her eyes after saying that as she pushed me again, which caused me to fall to the ground."You're still the same, Ion. Lia's shadow."I started panting as I looked at the ground and saw blood. "You killed Lia, didn't you?"

Alexis’s POVI immediately got up after realizing that I had fallen asleep on the school rooftop. The sky's already in an orange hue, which means it's nearing sunset.How did I sleep that long?!When I was about to stand up, I noticed a jacket was placed on me. I don't remember falling asleep with a jacket on top of me and a towel as my pillow. "Where did this come from?" Just then, a scent coming from the jacket made me stop. It smells familiar; it smells like Ezra. I stood up from the ground while holding the jacket.You really did it now, Alexis. You skipped class for the whole day.Even though I should feel guilty for what I did, it feels like it's been so long since I last had a good sleep like this one. "I probably should go." I stood up and left the rooftop. As I arrived in the hallway, no one was to be found, and the silence filled my e

Alexis's POV I woke after I felt light touching my face, which made me grunt. I wanted to get up, but I felt Ezra's hand wrapped around my waist. "This guy, really," I muttered as I tried to get his arm off, but before I could even get up properly, I felt my waist hurting like it was about to break off. In the end, I couldn't get up, which led me to feel annoyed. "You should really learn how to control yourself." Ezra chuckled as he snuggled on my back. "My bad. It's been so long since we last did it, and I just came back from our competition in Los Angeles." He said those could be used as a proper excuse for fucking me until I passed out. "Hey, you're not mad, are you?" He asked as he made me turn around, but I groaned due to pain as soon as my back touched the bed. All I could

Mitch's POV"Mitch, would you like to go out with me?"I was dumbfounded after hearing Dwight ask me that after our practice. "What are you on? Are you drunk?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow at him, which caused him to laugh. The other members that were cleaning after training were looking at us."I'm not drunk. I really like you, even though I liked girls before." Dwight had this sheepish expression on his face as he smiled at me widely. "I really want to—" He was cut off after Royce stood in between us.Joaquin followed as he wrapped his arm around Dwight's shoulder. "What are you doing, dude? You already know that Royce's head-over-

I was so nervous when I sat on the soft and comfy bed. "May I kiss you again?" Ezra kept asking for permission, and I kept nodding to allow him to do whatever it was he wanted.I want to kiss him too.We were dismissed too early today that it wasn't even sunset yet. Ezra was staring at my lips as if he needed to quench his thirst, and it gave me shivers down my spine. He placed his hand on my waist as he pulled me closer to him. The moment his lips touched mine felt like I was electrified, even though it wasn't the first time it happened.I don't know if I'm doing great to match his pace, and as we continued kissing, all I could hear were the lewd sounds, making me so flustered to the point of pushing Ezra away.

I stayed the whole night in Mitch's place, and Andre was the one that delivered me some clothes and other necessities I needed. It seems like our mother's still going on with her rampage, and I wouldn't be able to come home yet.I actually like this better. I'm always uncomfortable being at home anyway. Today, Mitch apologized to everyone and coach Alfred for ditching practice yesterday without any excuse. Though we thought he'd be receiving severe punishment, coach Alfred let it go since he knew how sincere Mitch was with his apology. "So that's what happened." Mitch and I looked at each other while waiting for Jade's reaction after explaining what happened yesterday. "Wow, a lot happened

I looked up, and my eyes widened after seeing Royce. "What are you doing?" Why is he still here? I thought he had gone home already before me? I was too flustered that I immediately stood up. "Are you waiting for the captain?" Royce asked, which made me shake my head many times."Please don't tell anyone that you saw me here."Royce tilted his head as he looked down, and I quickly tried to hide my shoes that I couldn't wear properly. "I won't ask anything else, but if you're planning to stay out here, why don't you just go to your best friend's house?"I instantly thanked Royce for that and bid him goodbye. I was too distracted by my problem that I forgot I had Mitch.I just hope he will accept me.&nb

"What are you talking about, Tiffany?"Tiffany giggled after being asked like that by Ezra. "Are you playing dumb, captain? Wasn't it you who said about Alexis being your boyfriend— And what was it? Mitch's not interested in girls?" Her eyes twinkled, and I didn't know what to say. "Then why is he hanging around with that third-year girl?" She placed her hand on her chin and looked at us."What do you want?"Tiffany looked at Ezra with uninterested eyes. "Nothing much. Just stay out of my way, and I'll do the same." She said as she looked at me with a smile. "You wouldn't want your mom to learn about this, wouldn't you?" I was frozen in shock after she mentioned that. Why is she talking about my mom?

The training camp ended without any problem, although my body was in pain after the training with the Golden Bell warriors. Right, they've been training with us side by side. Though I wonder why when we're the teams that always compete right before the championship, where the only one between us could get into that said championship.It didn't matter since we should already know what we needed to work on after playing against our greatest rivals. Even though we were going to play against each other soon, the players on the other team didn't look so bad, in fact, they even helped us learn lots of things. They're too kind, or maybe they're content because they think we wouldn't be able to win against them?However, during that training camp, I noticed that Liliana received even more bullying than before.

Alexis’s POV“That’s all for today. We won’t be having rigorous training for now since we’ll be having the training camp soon.” Those were coach Alfred’s last words before dismissing us.“Lexi! Let’s go home together.” Mitch called up to me. That reminds me, I still haven’t told him about my relationship with Ezra. “You wouldn’t be coming home with Ezra again today, wouldn’t you? Honestly, what’s going on with you two?”“Actually—““Ah! Lili! What happened to you?”

Jade's POVI heard a knock on my door while drawing on my tablet. "Go away." It's probably Gelo again. I don't have the time to deal with him right now, but instead of following what I said, Angelo opened the door to my room which made me look in his direction. "What the hell? I said go away. I'm busy."My younger brother, Angelo, didn't listen again, and instead, he sat on my bed. Purposively pissing me off.This goddamn brat."I thought you weren't going to join any clubs? Why are you joining the boys' volleyball club as a manager? Ion was there too; did you know that?" This brat really kept on getting on my nerves the past few days.
