Chapter 31

(Weekend)Natalie's P. O. VI checked the time on the wall clock. 7 more minutes till 9:00 clock. I don't know why, but I've been especially nervous—and eager for today, even though it's not a date. I checked myself in the mirror to put in some last touches; I was finally ready. I locked my room door and proceeded downstairs where I met Maggie and Greg busy with themselves." Hey." I greeted as I went to grab myself a bottle of water." Hi..... Where are you going all dressed up?" Greg asked when he saw me. I shrugged and looked at him." It's just an outing... With a friend." I answered, opening the bottle and gulping down some water." And you are this dressed up?" He repeated, his eyes looking me through." It's just a t-shirt and jeans with some boots, nothing fancy," I replied, rolling my eyes. Just then, Jace walked in." She's going out with her boyfriend... And he's here." He butted in, winking at me. I glared at him." Wait

Chapter 32

Mira's P. O. VWe arrived at the venue of the date and Darren parked his car. When I got out, I realized we were at a resort at the top of a hill; it was the most beautiful sight I've ever seen. I couldn't help but gasp." Oh my gosh, this is the most beautiful sight I've ever seen," I muttered. Darren walked closer to me and whispered to my ears," We're not done yet, there's still more." I looked at him." Really?"" Hmm mm." He nodded. He took my hands, and we walked some distance. It looked like every step we took. The sight was even more beautiful than the previous one. There were lights everywhere, adorning everything, even the trees! Even fireflies!! It looked like a fairytale. We got to a raised pavement, and I realized that's where the date was. There was a table and chairs and it had been arranged for our arrival. A chef was standing nearby." Darren... You did all of this?" I asked gobsmacked. He chuckled." Who else would?" He asked and

Chapter 33

Mira's P. O. VThe tentative meeting of our lips caused sparks to fly in every direction as Darren huddled me closer to himself. Soon the kiss became urgent and hungry as Darren's tongue explored every bit of my mouth with fierce passion. We parted only just to catch our breaths." What did you do to me?" Darren asked, his voice very hoarse and laden with passion. I ran my hands through his wet hair and kissed his forehead." Same thing you did to me." His eyes left my face and went towards my neck. Without giving it a second thought and kissed my pulse area, and I gasped, shivering in pleasure. I could feel his smile on my skin. He kissed every inch of it and I flung my head back, shivering in pleasure. The fact that we were still in the tub made it even more electrifying. His hands went to my butt, and he grabbed it there. I moaned. This was crazy, we so close to each other, yet we didn't seem to get enough of each other. We were doing everything besides havin

Chapter 34

     I watched the color drain from Natalie's face and felt guilty knowing that was my fault. She struggled for some time to say something and when she did I could tell she was still finding it hard to believe."    " What the hell did you just say?" She asked and I swear I wanted to swallow back my words. But I already make the decision and whether I like it or not, I had to go through with it. I inhaled and said it again.    "I want to cancel the bet. It's not happening anymore." Damn it! I hate the fact that I sounded so natural, like I was cool with it.    " Wow....." She trailed off, disbelief still evident in her voice. " Just wow." She muttered again.    " Once again, I'm sorry." I said and made to leave but she stopped me.    " What about the scandal? The stuff going in between you and your brother? What about that?" She asked, turning to face me.    " We'll find a way around th

       Natalie's P. O. V  It was lunchtime and the three of us were seated on the table munching our lunch, having small talks in between.  " Wait up Mira... You were going to say something earlier this morning." I reminded. She took a bite from her burger.  " And what's that?"  " The boyfriend thingy. When did that happen?" I asked.  " Oh, that... Yeah, Darren and I went on a date last Saturday and that's where he asked me to be his girlfriend... And yeah sure, I accepted."  " Really?" Ariana chipped in. " So tell me, how was it like. Was it super romantic??"  " If you call two people being alone in what seems like a fairytale romance. Yeah, it was." She answered.  " And that's all? He just asked, and you agreed? Nothing else?"  " What did you want to happen? " I asked, pinching her cheeks. She swerved so I wouldn't be able to have more contact with her.

       Xander's P. O. V  The alarm woke me up the next morning. I groaned and got out of bed, stretching. Sighing, I walked to the bathroom and washed my face. Then proceeded to get a bottle of water. On my way, I checked Xavier's room. Still not home. Checking my phone, there wasn't any message either. Where could he be? I've called everyone I know and still they keep saying they haven't found him. This is starting to get annoying.  After drinking some water, I began calling him again. This time, it was switched off. Okay... What's going on? People just don't suddenly disappear. Dropping the now empty bottle in the trash can, I walked back to my room to have a shower and prepare for school. Maybe he's there....  Turns out... He's not in school idea. I stopped to ask Darren is f he knew where he was, but Darren said he hadn't seen him since last week Friday. We tried calling him but it also said switched off.

Chapter 37

Natalie's POVI watched Xander for a while, taking in all of his expressions. He seemed pained... Lost and confused. Like he'd missed a part of him and didn't know how to put it back. Well, Xavier is a part of him, I reminded myself." So, what are we going to do now? Do you want to go back there?" I asked him." Go back there... And risk seeing the look on his face? I don't know... But I don't think I'm up to that."" So you're not going back there," I stated." I don't think I can." He muttered. I sighed." Okay... Since you're not going back there, why don't you leave me behind here? I'll see what I can do." I said, and he glanced at me." Leave you here..... What are you going to do?" He asked. I scoffed." Judging by what you've heard from him, you're the last person Xavier wants to see right now."" And how do you know that?"" I have brothers, silly," I said, but he hesitated. " Don't worry, he'll be fine, I'll make sure of th

Chapter 38

Natalie's POV  " Tricia!... Definitely her!" Ariana piped out the second I finished narrating the incident to her. I looked at her and shrugged. Sure, her intuitions were hardly ever wrong... It's still hard to take her on her word sometimes. We had given the stuff we found to Maggie because she said she had a friend who was a pharmacist and could help us identify the rest of the drugs used. She promised to get back to us tomorrow.  " How do you know that? You've only been in school for two days?" I said back, staring at her as she brushed her hair.  " Come on... That girl can never be clean. Have you seen the way she stared at me in class? Like she wants to murder me but can't because she knows I'll kill her too." She said and folded her hands.   I chuckled then sobered up quickly.  " But why would she do that? There are other ways to attract a guy's attention rather than drugging them up." I muttered.  " Hmm, I

Chapter 39

Natalie's P. O. V" You don't mean that, do you?" I ask, dumbfounded. She scoffed." And why would I lie to you? " She asked instead. Ariana glanced at me, confused." But they don't have the same surname." Ariana pointed out." That's due to Lucy's mental health. I'm pretty sure Xander must have told you about it." She said. We nodded." Wait... Why are you telling us this?" I asked, not sure if I should trust her. She sighed." Lucy is coming back soon. I'm suspecting Tricia has something in store for her, but I don't know exactly what. Whatever it is... It's dangerous. And no force in the world can stop her."" Well, except for you guys. You're the only ones whose skin she hasn't gotten under yet. Please do something."" And how are you so sure we can do something?? We don't know what exactly Tricia has in mind," Ariana says." You'll figure something out, I'm sure of that. Thanks for listening." Bella said and walked away.Ariana

Chapter 40

Lucy's P. O. VMy first glance at him after two years and the first thought that entered my head was, I don't deserve this guy... Like not at all. He looked so handsome with the stunned look on his face I wanted to rush over and hug him, inhale his scent... Maybe even cry on his shoulders and tell him how much I missed him. But instead, I fiddled with my fingers and looked down, avoiding his gaze." Lucy?" He repeated as if to be sure I was the one. I peeked at him, my lips quivering." Hi..." I muttered again, biting my lower lips. " Long time no see," I said nervously." It's. Really... You... Wha... When did you get here? I'm sorry, hello." He rambled on. I chuckled softly." I just back today, and I wanted to see you first," I muttered, glancing at him." Oh...." He trailed off, still staring at me. I took in a deep breath and cracked." Xander... I'm, really, really, really, really, really sorry." I said, unconsciously counting off my fingers.
