Padgett POV
Cassie! Rhonda! Cathy! I couldn't get those names out of my head throughout the whole driver, I could see that Cameron, was trying his very best to make small talk with me, he kept asking me how I felt about Sutton but I was more worried that he was so smitten by a girl he met a few hours ago and that girl is no other person than Cathy. Maybe he is just excited I mean Cameron Is a player there is no way he is going to stick with her for more than two weeks, all playboys are always excited when they first meet a new girl, and besides he has Cathy as his newest girlfriend which means Rhonda, is way out of the picture and if Cassie is Rhonda friend, she has no chance whatsoever with him"What do you think about Sutton?" He asked as the car came to a halt at his house, I looked at him, I don't like Sutton more than just a friend, he is a nice person but the truth is, if I wasn't in love with Cameron, I would had prefer Alex, just maybe, because of those stupid love story I have read about, those bad boy and how they fall in love, it's getting into my head. "Come on Cam, What do you think about Newton? The boy...""Gosh! That disgusting fellow, you shouldn't go near him, he is irritating." 'Fine!'"Good girl." I look at the mansion, it's more beautiful than before, so many renovations must have taken place causing it to look super magnificent, back then we would watch a movie till we fell asleep then the next morning I would head home but I was in no mood to watch a movie or spend the night close to him because I was afraid I would burst up in front of him I’ve gotten used to keeping my emotions in check but sometimes I just want to let it all out and cry when there is no one around. Part of the reason, I left and agreed for my mommy to take that job that let us leave the mansion, was the day, I heard Cameron, talking on the phone and he blurted out, that he was in love, I couldn't bring myself to ask him, who, I know he is hot back then, I know we are world apart, my mom was only a caregiver to his grandmother, who passed away a month back, after years of bedridden. The Adrians didn't want us to leave because we were like family, even though Grandma Adrian wasn't alive anymore, they still wanted us to stay but being heartbroken, I persuaded Mother to take the new job in country D, causing us to move from country A and here we are, back to the one thing, I hate to see, the man, I love in someone else's hand. Um! Cam, you should turn around and drop me off at my house.”"But we’re supposed to watch a movie you know just like we do every Friday night back then. Don't you remember?'"Of course, I do but...""I told you, I would fix the assignment for you.' "Not that, I just don’t feel so well I’m sorry I’ll see you tomorrow please I just want to get some rest that’s all.""What is wrong did someone try anything at the party I swear I’ll…"“No no no Cam! It’s fine I’m just tired that’s all, you know, I haven't done this for a long time.""Are You sure?" He said staring intently“Yes, cam! I’m sure I just wanna go home." I said tiredly resting my head as the car moved towards my house, direction, he was all moody, and I knew he was hurting. I too missed those times, we spent together, I just have to keep my distance, it's just a day but it's like forever. He dropped me off at my house, and he drove off, without saying a word to me while I walked in like a zombie, I went straight to my room, and since Mother wasn't around, I was practically the only one home. I texted my mommy, to tell her I was home. The ringing of my phone, could tell, that she was scared and shocked because she was used to me always comfortable with him. "Hey, sweetheart! Didn't you two make up? Is Cameron mad at you for not informing him? I was thinking that you will make up, like good old days." Her questions kept coming in rows, I let out a big gasp. "Come on Mommy, We are cool, I just want to be home and I need to fix my assignment.' "Oh that's true, you should be careful and please don't leave his sight, I heard that school is for the billionaires, so you should avoid trouble and those bullies." "I know.' "Good night! Love you.""Love you too." I fall on my bed. Exhausting, sadly once again it was morning, I wished it was a weekend, I hadn't even fixed my assignment, I looked at my alarm, which that just woke me. "You are my worst nightmare," I said as I looked at it, as if, that wasn't enough, another annoying alarm was jingling and that was the sound of the doorbell. "Oh shit! Mommy, don't you have your keys?" I yawn. With a tight face thinking it was my mommy, I was practically on my transparent nightwear with Just my undies. Immediately, I pulled the door, it's Cameron! "You!" I screamed then ran back into the home, it's just a small apartment with all the necessary things to make us comfortable. Cameron POV. My eyes didn't leave her legs, they were stuck on her nice legs, watching her with just undies was kind of sweet, it was just like when she was in third grade. "You shouldn't hide them, you look sexy on just your undies." I could hear her whine, hearing my compliment, I just fell to the couch"Silly!" I kind of enjoyed it when she was not comfortable especially when I saw her underpants, the facial expressions she made gave me some untold joy, I sat patiently waiting for her to get out of her room when she was not forthcoming, I called out to her. "Creamy! What are you doing?" "I want to have my bath." "Okay, where did you drop your bag, let me help you fix your assignment...""Holy shit! I forgot." She rushed out with the book and towel on her chest, exposing her sweet fresh shoulder, her skin was like a mirror, I smiled brightly at her, with those blue eyes of hers, I wonder if boys get a chance to see those eyes without the speck, will they go crazy. "Here, I will just fit my wears and get us what to eat." "Never mind, I have eaten, you just bathe and fix your food." She nodded and then made her way back into her room, I smiled as I watched her go through the door, my eyes were fixed back on her assignments. I was almost done, when I saw her moving towards the kitchen, I just felt she was going to take something, and then I realized that she was way too short to get the milk from the counter. I dropped the book and moved to her, cause I could see her from the living room. "Do you need help?' I asked she gave me a nod, pointing to the stuff, instead of getting it for her, I pulled her by the waist, I could hear a light gasp coming from her, I could feel she was not comfortable with me around, but I just felt that, it's because we have been apart for three long years, anyways, now she is here, I am going to do all the stuff we used to do before and I am sure, soon, everything will go back to normal. I place her on the counter, she gets the stuff then takes her down, I watch her move to the fridge and bring out a chocolate cake. She dropped it"Thank you" She smiled and took a bite from the cake, accompanied with the milk, she got from the counter. The cream stained her bottom lip"You see what I meant when I said you're a kid." I teased her. She chuckled and tried wiping it off, but I was faster. I wiped the cream off her lip with my thumb and licked my thumb, her eyes widen"Are you sure, you are not hungry?" She asked then laughed as I frowned at her. "Stop talking nonsense, you should be fast, so we could leave." I gave her a slight knock"Ouch!" She screamed"That could put some senses in that head of yours." I scoffed and moved away from her, I started going out of the kitchen"Ouch!" I heard her scream, making me run back to hold her, she was about to climb the stool but she ended up falling. "Why are you so clumsy? You should be careful, you don't want us to go late." "If you weren't leaving me, I wouldn't have fallen." She pouted, and then that creepy smile formed at the side of my lips. "So promise me, you will never leave?" "Silly, I am not leaving you, even if you decide to run away by blackmailing your mom to leave, I will follow." She looks at me, "Why do you think I was...""I know, so don't try to defend yourself." She laughed. "You're stuck with me baby doll. Aren't you going to carry me to the dining, be a good boy, and finish what you started" She said, for some seconds, I stared at her with my eyes locked on her eyes and then her lips, before looking away and biting my lips. I pulled her on my strong arm but tried avoiding eye contact with her. "Hurry up, I'm leaving" I muttered as I placed her on the chair."Are you sure, you are not going to eat something?" She asked'Watching you eat, is enough for me.""Wow, why does that sound romantic? Is that what you use for those numerous girlfriends of yours?" Padgett teased"You should stop talking nonsense if you don't want to get abandoned." "Can you abandon me?" She pout, "Do I want to be on a death roll?" Our ride to school was quiet, she didn't want to talk to me, I turned to her as I stopped the car"You were quiet throughout the ride, are you okay?" I asked "I'm fine, see you later" She smiled and grabbed her bag before going out of the car. My eyes followed her as she walked away, she would have stayed beside me after all, we were going to the same class. I also came out of the car. Immediately, Newton showed up in front of me. "Look who we have here?" His tone was that of mockery, I rolled my eyes at him and made my way to pass another side but he blocked me again"What do you want?" "I heard that girl is your best friend more like a sister, I am having her." "You don't want me to kill you with my hands, get your eyes off her," I said, pushing him off my way, I could hear his loud grin behind me, I knew I would have to protect her more, I know Newton hates me, he used to be Mr popular before I arrived the school when I got transferred to this school, I became Mr popular, so he hated me and I too hated him, we are in what we called cold war.Padgett POV. For some reason, I don't want to be seen with Cameron on school premises, so many eyes were on me, yesterday when he pulled me through the crowd of those numerous girls, and appearing at the club with him, the previous night was frustrating. As I walked through the hallway, I wished Cameron would forget about Cathy, Rhonda, and everything that had to do with them, who knows maybe he and Cathy would work out but I had a really bad feeling about Rhonda, she kind of looked like those girls that will part ways with her friends all because of a boy. I sneak past the crowd unnoticed and make my way to my locker to grab my books I need them then I have to go to the lab to bury my head in my books before the bell rings. I opened up my locker to see a note carefully placed inside possibly from the little hole underneath it. I didn't possess any secret admirer, even if I will have one in the future, not so fast, just the second day in school, so I was really curious as to who wou
Padgett POVHis eyes didn't leave me, waiting for an answer, I don't know what to say but at this point, I need to lie my way out. "You don't know, who I am talking about, so if you don't mind, you should excuse me." I tried to walk away from him but he held my hand. "Let go of me." "I could help you, I know you are too shy to admit and I saw the way you looked at him at the bar last night when he kissed that girl, I know you are in love with him, it's only someone jealous or in love with her best friend that could react the way you react when you see your man with another girl...""I am not in love with him...''"Hey slow down, you are too defensive but you have nothing to worry about, your secret could be saved with me if only you agree to be my girlfriend." "What?" He was too straightforward. 'I will never be your girlfriend, I am not going to fall for your cheap blackmail." "I know you are in love with him, within, forty-eight hours, I will get points that show that you are in
Padgett's Pov I’m so dead right now Cameron hardly gets mad at me but when he does he’s a force to reckon with, if there is one thing, I couldn't bear, is the fact that he is mad at me, I felt my world crumbled when I heard those words from him. "Can't you talk, what do you have to say?" "I am sorry, I don't..." I tried taking his hand but he pulled away from my grip, my tears threatened to drop, and I felt doom."Um! Hey, Cam..." I said as he stared at me still furious tightening his fists."Explain to me why you didn't tell me Cassie was assaulting you," he said as I gulped down my saliva and then gathered myself, I realized that my secret was still safe. "Cassie!" "Yes, Cassie the bitch who dared to assault you.""Cam..." I seethed."What creamy, I’ve told you many times to tell me when someone is bullying you but no you prefer to keep it to yourself and get hurt in the process, I wouldn't know what to do just so you don’t get hurt and how will I protect you, if you don't tell
Padgett's POV"Everyone, listen up, Padgett Ryan, is my best friend and my sister, if anyone hurts her, they will have me to battle with and if you dare cross her part, you will get consumed by my rage, I know you all don't want that, not even those that call themselves my girlfriend or fling will go unpunished." It was crazy as they all stared at me, as he pulled me into a hug in front of this crowd, I could hear some admiring me, wishing to be me while others cursed at me. I could barely eat during lunch, as usual, the guys would talk about their basketball game and Newton kept glancing at me silently I understood that he was just looking out for points to be able to get me into becoming his girlfriend, he used the word fake but I am so afraid that, he had an interior motivate that is the reason, he asked for that, there are other girls, which means, he could pick from them while does it have to be me. Then my thoughts drove back to Cassie, her words were tearing me apart, those word
Padgett's POV"Go on and tell me, what is it?' He asked when I didn't say a word, he caressed my hand."Nothing just tell me, what you wanted to say?" "Okay, if you say so remember when we made that deal that I’ll make my relationship work and you’ll go out with someone, well who better than Cathy could fill that space, she’s beautiful, sexy, she’s amazing and for once I think I like a girl." He said smiling while I broke apart inside"So she is having a house party by the weekend, and since I broke up with Cassie, I was thinking of asking her out properly, and who better to help me than you right? Please Creamy, I really like Cathy, you have to help me out on this one I’m doing this because I want to make the relationship work and so you’ll have a chance at love, creamy, so would you help me out please?" He said as I felt my eyes watery"Cameron," I said tiredly"Can you stop calling me Cameron, I prefer it when you call me Cam, it sounds romantic." He said, I pressed my lips togethe
Cameron's POVThe next day morning, I was the first to wake up, she was still sleeping peacefully, my eyes went to her lips and I found myself rubbing my thumb on her bottom lips, I bit my lips and found myself falling my face slowly to hers, when her eyes flew open, as a result of the alarm. "Ah!" She screamed, as her eyes flew open. I got up fast from her. "Stop shouting, is me." "You," She drags the duvet to cover herself. "Yes me! What is wrong with you?" "I should be asking how did you get in?" "Oh, that! I was bored at home and father is around, you know how I hate him." Her eyes didn't leave me. "Fine, I came in last night, Aunty gave me the key, so I could show up anytime, especially when she is not around, so I could keep an eye on you and chase those bloody assholes from you." She rolled her eyes at me, then stood from the bed, she didn't bother trying to cover herself with the duvet, I noticed she ran very fast into the bathroomI laughed at her silly act and then sat
Padgett's POV. "Will you take your call or are you just going to stare at it till it stops ringing?" I heard Cameron's voice, snapping me from my thoughts. "Mine...mine... it's...""Are you alright?" He touches my head to wipe the sweat-forming beads on my forehead. "I am fine, let's go, we are late already," I said dragging him out, not after pressing my tab to silence it. In no time, we are at school, I was glad we finally arrived, this stupid best friend of mine, keep talking about that stupid romantic nonsense, that he thought, he planned for Cathy, I really don't know what is wrong with him, and what thou fuck did he have with the letter C that he keeps having a thing with every girl that her name starts with the letter C. "I never knew that Cameron was your mom."When I finally could breathe, this demon was here. I said mentally, then turned my eyes to face him, I faked a smile. "Hi, handsome!" "Don't patronize me." His voice came up, I looked at him with an expressionless f
Padgett's POV. I headed upstairs to freshen up and probably change into something nice, it was not yet my curfew time and I knew Mom would not be coming, I thought of wearing one of those short gowns but then I realized that Newton, looked like those bad boys that could take advantage of a girl even though I was lovesick, I still have to be reasonable and protect myself. Finally, I settled on my blue jeans and white sweater, the weather was a bit cold because Its getting dark. After I had my hair blown dry, I looked at myself in the mirror. I realized I was so pale, so pale from crying too much over that naughty Cam, I decided to put on red lipstick, my mommy was the one that brought the lipstick but I never did apply it because drawing attention to myself is something I don't like I applied it then rubbed it off with a tissue paper to make it a bit mild. "Perfect!" I was waiting outside when he drove in. "Hey young lady, come over here." I gave him a small smile and then walked to
