All Chapters of Fated Mates, Forbidden Love : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Craig Seeing Alexis again made my heart soar. Rather than resuming on Monday, I came back on Sunday evening after the dreadful party, where I almost got assaulted by a freak. Alexis's steps slowed, and her lids slid over mine. She stood on the spot, staring at me and fumbling with her backpack. "Hi," I smiled at her. "How was your weekend?" Her hoodie came off, and my eyes immediately drew to her midnight black hair that contrasted beautifully against her skin. "It was fine," she said with a less than enthusiastic tone, proceeding to walk past me, but I stepped in front of her path. "Here I was thinking I had broken the ice on the rooftop. Are you okay?" "Do I look like I'm not?" she snapped, her mouth pulling into a tight line. Irritated and confused by her tone, I took a step back. "Why are you being hostile?" "I'm not," she responded with a monotone, "and my mood is none of your business." Her sister Beverly cleared her throat, startling me because I hadn't noticed her pre

Alexis The sky was pitch black, except for a few twinkling stars scattered across the sky. The only sounds came from the crunching of leaves under my feet as I headed back to my dorm, clutching my backpack with one hand. "Did you wake him up?" I asked Westin for the third time. "Of course, I did," he said with nonchalance. "He said we can go, and he planned to stay to read." Exhausted, I rubbed my eyes and was about to leave, but without warning, Westin hugged me and pulled away almost immediately, with a broad smile on his face. I crept inside, wondering if I had made a mistake agreeing to be his fake girlfriend. The room was silent as I tiptoed to my bed space; one of my roommates was snoring so loudly that the sound she made sounded like an earthquake. Halfway to my bed, I heard someone groaning with pain and halted before tracing the person's bunk. Lo and behold, it was the almighty firecracker, Tara, aka the queen of bullies. A few students were awake but pretended not to h

Alexis Sitting on a rectangular table in the cafeteria and surrounded by Tara and Westin, I forced myself to eat my cereal. Westin and Tara were throwing banters with Westin sipping coffee from a white mug and Tara battling with her scrambled eggs and bacon. My mind wandered through thoughts of Craig. He was so pissed and jealous about the news of my 'boyfriend.' I should feel relieved, but I couldn't stop thinking about the look of disappointment on his face. "Girl, you chew like a baboon," Westin poked at Tara. "Your body size isn't proportional to the food you're eating." Tara threw a piece of bacon at him in retaliation. "Get your pork face off my food! It's none of your business the way I eat or the quantity of food I consume. You aren't paying for my feeding expenses so go fuck yourself in the ass." Westin pretended to gag, giving Tara a nasty look while Tara rolled her eyes at him before stuffing more food into her mouth with relish. I tuned out of their banter and

Alexis I was rushing to my next class, my backpack slung over my shoulder. The school bell rang, signaling the end of the break. I hurriedly descended the stairs, the multiple steps leading up and down filled with students rushing to their next class. "Oops, I'm sorry," I said politely as my backpack accidentally brushed against a girl. Tardiness was frowned upon by our chemistry teacher, Mr. Lawson, and I couldn't afford to be late to his class. Lost in the sea of students, I didn't realize when I reached the bottom of the stairs. Unaware of my surroundings, I failed to notice the foot extended in my path, causing me to stumble and fall to the floor. Before I could react, several hands gripped me from behind, tugging at my backpack. Confused and startled, I turned around, trying to face them. "Hey, what's going on?" I shouted, my words falling on deaf ears. Before I knew it, an intense burning sensation engulfed my eyes. The searing heat intensified rapidly, unmistakably the res

Craig When Alexis stepped out of her dorm, I stared at her with longing and my pulse raced. She was becoming impossibly difficult to resist. My body lurched madly, longing for her nearness. Smiling, I closed the space between us. Resisting the urge to hug her in public, I stuffed my hands inside my pockets instead. "Craig, what are you doing here?" she said playfully, looking up at me with a twinkle in her eyes, and then glanced around, probably checking for the matron. "Last time I checked, I'm not invading anyone's privacy. I thought I could stop and say hello since I couldn't do it in your dad's presence." She snorted and burst out laughing. Even her laughter was enchanting. It sent goosebumps down my arms and warmed my inside. "I bet he'd have been thrilled to see you," she said with light sarcasm. "And severe my head afterward? No, thanks." Her eyes crinkled with a soft smile and my eyes roamed all over her body. She wore a casual Mickey Mouse mini dress and held her ho
