All Chapters of Four Players one Lover: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

ADRIENNE'S POVIt was lunch period and I was at the cafeteria, seated with Kate and Aileen. Christian had also agreed with Kate to sit with us for lunch along with two other guys- his friends from the basketball team. Both guys were tall, one a black American and the other, a blonde with hazel eyes. They were good looking and Aileen seemed to have been smitten by them, as she kept smiling to everything they said like a possessed little girl. I had totally ignored my promise to meet with Alec after Literature class ended and as a result, I've been avoiding him all day but for how long. I just sat there, picking on my French fries as I try to pay attention to the discussion ongoing between Christian and Caleb, the black American. James, the blonde with really cute eyes performs a common trick in which he removed a coin from behind Aileen's ear. "That's one lame trick" I say while laughing at his now

ADRIENNE'S POV I recognize the voice and spun around quickly. "Jeez, not cool Alec" I say as a sense of relief rushes over me."Are you always this creepy?" I continue talking when he says nothing."Did I scare you?" He asks with a smile.  Such an asshole."Who knew the great Alec could actually smile" I say not fighting back my already showing smile. We walk side by side towards the exit of the building not saying anything."So, do you always practice till late?" I ask breaking the silence."Most times, when I have to clear my head. I use it to escape from my world." He replies honestly. Now that went well. I was actually expecting one of his snarky comments."What's your world like?" I ask, my curiousness getting the better part of me. "It's surrounded with lies and betrayal." He answers quietly. I turn m

ADRIENNE'S POVIt was 6:00am in the morning, as I lay on my bed while staring at the ceiling lost in thought. It was the weekend and all I could think of was resting and spending all the time to myself but my plans just had to change. I had promised the girls to hang out with them and at the same time, Derek chose my Saturday as the day I get to live as he wishes. And here I am, staring at the ceiling trying to comprehend how this day was going to play out.I finally decide to head for the kitchen and grab some bottle of water to store in my room as I often get dehydrated. It was still early so there being less kitchen staffs there when I arrived. I open the fridge I was directed to and grab about four bottles when I hear a low huff behind me. I turn around to find Derek dressed in grey joggers with a black sleeveless top, showing off his muscles. He had a gray hand band on his left hand and his jet-blac

ADRIENNE’S POVI stare at Nick’s hopeful eyes and desperately wanted to give him the answer he searched for, but that wasn’t happening.“Sorry Nick, I promised to go with the girls, Aileen and Kathie” I answer with a sad expression but that wasn’t the case for him. His expression still seemed hopeful, like he had another plan.I kept giving him a quizzical look, this time he’s giving me a mysterious smile.“What did you do Nick?” I feel like he played dirty.“Since it’s still Derek’s day, I got him to tell me to tell you to accompany me to the party. So that’s literally like his wish.” He says now smiling brightly, given the hilarious expression on my face.“Nick! That’s cheating. Well played” I say while standing up

ADRIENNE’S POVI was seated on the opposite side of Kathie and Christian as my mind wanders off. Nick had told me earlier that he wasn’t perfectly sure Alec remembered all that had happened Saturday night and I couldn’t help but wonder to what extent he remembers. I mean we had literally shared a kiss and it wouldn’t be fair on my part to remember that moment all alone.After Saturday night, I had avoided Alec like a plague. I guess I couldn’t bring myself to have a conversation with him yet or even stay within the same space without my eyes drifting back to those wicked lips of his.He did show up for some of the classes we took together and whenever we made eye contacts, he had a questioning look on his face. But I, for now, didn’t have any answer to them. So I just stare at my food and pick on it, which was odd of me since fries was one of my favorite.
