"Thanks for having me over." I said to Ruby, a pack of Nana's cookies in my hand. "It's alright. I should be the one thanking you." She replied walking me out of the door. "Why won't you let Skye drop you off?""I'm afraid he's gonna lead me to my early grave." I replied. "My regards to Nana, tell her I had to leave without seeing her, and for you, you don't have to worry about me, you know?"She nodded her head. "Sure. I know you're a wonder woman and you can make everything possible. But the question now is, how are you going to get home?""I'll just book a ride." I brought out my phone for emphasis. "See?'"Don't kid me. I'll ask Skye to take you home."I hurriedly stopped her, by placing my hands on her shoulder. "That's not necessary.""But it's courtesy." She replied. "I can't take you home because I don't have a license, but my brother can and I trust him so much too. Plus, what would I feel like, letting you go like that?"I sighed, giving in. "Alright. But you have to tell
My heart pounded vigorously in my chest with excitement and fear, leading my adrenaline.Was he really going to kiss me? Did he mean it? My heart raced as he killed the engine and turned the ignition key off.Placing an arm around my chair he leaned forward and dipped his head closer to mine. "So what is it going to be, Steyn?" He drawled in my ears.I was certain now that he noticed the rise and fall of my chest and how fast my breath raced out. Saying yes, that I liked the kiss, which in fact was the truth, meant that I won't get to have him kiss me for the second time that day and saying no meant, I wanted him to kiss me again. Which was the truth. But I didn't want him to see me as a cheap and loose girl.Guys like Skye had too many tricks under their sleeves. I shook my head, in an attempt to get rid of the dirty thought I was having.He leaned in closer and closer, so that I could feel his breath on my neck. He dipped his head closer and nuzzled my neck with his nose.The feel
A few minutes after I had gotten inside the house and successfully avoided answering the questions my mum threw at me like a pro, my phone rang. I peeped at the screen and noticed it was a call from Ruby."Hey." I said, answer it."Hey to you too. It took you an eternity to answer your phone." She said curtly."Stop being sarcastic Ruby." I sighed quietly and pushed my hair backwards. "I answered the phone as soon as I heard it ring."She laughed. " I know. Was only teasing you." She giggled with a ring of excitement to her tone. "How are you? Hope you got home safely?" She asked."Yeah. I did. Just got in though. Is Skye home yet?" I asked.She paused, taking a minute to answer. "Funny you would ask about him because that's why I called. Did he do anything to you? Because he came home with this satisfied smirk on his face."I licked my dry lips again. "Do something to me?" I darted my eyes around. "No he didn't. What could he possibly do to me?""See? I didn't do anything to her." S
~SKYE~I had barely entered the room when Ruby accosted me. I scoffed, twirling the car key in my hand."What is it this time?" I asked her."Nothing." She replied. "You're home late, why's that? You took longer than expected.""I just took her home as you requested and drove back. Nothing much.""You didn't yell at her? No nothing, right?" She pressured me.I smirked, just thinking how I had done more than yelling. If only you knew, I thought.I shrugged, pushing my hair backwards. "What do you really want to hear? That something happened?" I pinched her playfully on the cheeks and walked off to sit my ass on a cushion."You're so in a different mood tonight." She peered at me from under her lashes. "I hope you didn't do something to my friend?""Why?" I raised a brow. "You sound like you want me to do something to her.""You scum!" She threw a pillow at me."Yes, dear sister of a scum." I replied teasingly."Wait here, I'm going to call her." She demanded, taking out her phone and p
~STEYN~I hissed lightly and turned on the mute button on my phone. He still had some nerves to message me? I thought, wiping off the smile from my face.I tossed from one end of the bed to the other, wild memories from the evening still fleeting through my mind.If I continued to think like this, would I ever get some sleep? I groaned into my palms and muttered a silent, "fu**k you."I was still engrossed with thoughts of Skye, saying to myself that I would not reply to his Instagram message when I dozed off. *. *I woke up the next morning, feeling refreshed and excited and refreshed. I guess it was the prospect of going to school or was it the fact that Ruby was coming over today.I took a peek at the time on my phone and sighed loudly. Why did it have to be a school day today?"Uurgh." I groaned loudly into the sheets , gathering my willpower to get up from the bed. It was nothing, I told myself. All there was to move away from the bed and onto the sh
Taking Ruby's advice, I decided to do a little research. My first call was Skye's Insta's handle. If there was anything to know about him, then it would be here, I thought. Besides, it wasn't like I had any other lead on him. For a brief moment, the thought of googling his name waltz through my wind, but I brushed it aside. Why would his name be on google.I grinned a little, seeing that he had upload a new profile picture. In this one, he looked more professional. His hair was parted on the sides and he had on a tuxedo. He had his back on a railing, leaning so casually on it but looking rugged and handsome.I heaved and proceeded to look at his bio which looked interesting. It read, 'The World's Youngest Self Made Billionaire.'Typical of him. I shook my head, smiling. Self acclaimed billionaire, I thought. But what if he was really? Each and every single one of the Walker siblings definitely did look like they came from money.I zeroed in on his mobile photos which only had twenty
"For the last time, don't ruffle my hair again!!" I yelled at Alex who had found an unrequited excitement in playing with my hair.At the rate he was going, my agitation was increasing by the seconds. My throat was aching from having to yell constantly at him for the last few ten minutes."Why can't I play with your hair." He pouted looking smug."Why would you play with my hair? Is it a plaything?" I retorted. "Besides, shouldn't you be going home? It's closing time already.""I can say the same thing for you. We go to to the same school, and obviously have the same closing hours, aren't you supposed to be home already?"I stared at him with a smug expression on my face. If anyone had told me I shared trigonometry with this guy, I would have quitted it a long time ago.I turned in exasperation looking for Ruby after unsuccessfully swatting his hands off my hair for the third time that day. "Seriously, Alex, why are you here?" I asked in frustration."I thought you wouldn't ask." He
It was chaotic getting out of bed the following morning.Mum didn't come home the previous evening but had left me a note, stating that she wouldn't be coming home and how I should remember to eat dinner and make breakfast for myself in the morning which piqued my curiosity even more. I hoped everything was okay at the Walker's home?Another thing was that Ruby's line wasn't connecting. All my calls were forwarded to voicemail and her social media handles showed she wasn't online.My mind wandered to yesterday's happening. What was Luke and Alex doing behind the bleachers? What was it they weren't ready for anyone to find out about,yet?I heaved, telling myself that it wasn't my business. Which of course it wasn't. But why was the note in my locker? Was it a mistake after all?"Uuuurgh." I thumped my head lightly, when the thoughts wouldn't stop coming.It was Friday and a free day in school today, which meant that I had all the time in the world.I sauntered into the bathroom for my
