All Chapters of Winning My Ex-Crush: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Fenella’s POVI checked out of the hotel and took a taxi to the airport. Clearly, I was now so anxious because I didn't know if Laird was still at the airport or not—he hadn't responded to my messages!The taxi drove slowly while he tuned the radio to Spanish songs that I didn't understand. I thought I would reach the airport in half an hour, but the taxi slowed down due to roadwork ahead.My taxi got stuck in traffic for over fifteen minutes. When we finally reached the construction site, the driver rolled down the window and spoke to the construction workers in their orange safety vests. They spoke a while, and after the driver closed the window, he suddenly turned the car around."Uh, what's going on?" I asked in English.The taxi driver just glanced at me through the rearview mirror without giving any answer. I opened the online map app on my phone and saw that the route we had abandoned was indeed experiencing severe traffic. Once my taxi finally moved away from the congestion, I

Fenella’s POVI woke up with my eyelids still half-closed. I felt like I was still in a state of jet lag. Or maybe all of this was just the effect of the lack of sleep since last night.Forcing myself to get up, I finally saw that the bed next to me was empty, and the gap in the window curtains showed the lamp light from the neighboring apartment building.A thick blanket covered my body, and I gazed at my reddened body in some spots with small bite marks. Setting aside the painful fact, I immediately picked up my clothes from the floor in the corner of the bed. I walked out of the room while rubbing my eyes and blinking to see more clearly in the darkness.The atmosphere in Laird's apartment was not much different from the last time I saw it. It was almost entirely dark, with only two bright sources of light: the bathroom and the balcony. My eyes glanced at the clock on the living room table and were surprised to see the time.Eight o'clock in the evening? Does that mean I slept nake

Laird’s POVI didn't expect to hear all of that. It's not like I wanted to eavesdrop, but I couldn't resist listening to their entire conversation. I hid behind the thick foliage on my neighbor’s house fence."What was that all about?" I asked, frowning.Fenella didn't answer and instead ran into her own house. I hurriedly walked to her front door and saw Fenella slamming it shut with a loud thud. Funny.I went inside my house and knocked on Lloyd's bedroom door. His room was right in front of mine, and I knew he was already inside."Come in," Lloyd said from inside the room.I opened the door as Lloyd was putting on a gray t-shirt and cargo shorts."Did you ask Fenella out on a date?" I asked cautiously."What? I didn't know you were into eavesdropping," Lloyd said casually, grabbing his newly bought game console."Cut the crap," I retorted.Lloyd's seemingly indifferent expression made me realize that he may have known about my presence from the beginning. He knew I had overheard th

Fenella’s POVInitially, I thought it would be boring, but it wasn't. Lloyd challenged me in every arcade game. We even bet our tickets every time we win a game. Starting from the dancing machine game—even though I was the only one playing this game—skee ball, basketball, pinball, fighting games, and various other games.We also played bowling, even though we weren't very good at it. No one managed to make a strike. Especially me, who ended up putting more balls into the gutter than knocking down pins.Almost two full hours passed as we played games, then Lloyd took me out for lunch. He said the food there was bad, so he took me to another restaurant within walking distance.We shared a burger for two because I knew I wouldn't be able to finish one portion alone. I ordered a S'mores shake, while Lloyd ordered a chocolate milkshake.After I thought we were stuffed with all the delicious food, Lloyd dragged me to an ice cream shop right next to the burger restaurant. We both agreed that

Fenella’s POV"Laird!"I exclaimed, playfully squeezing his thigh. This time, he burst into laughter. Oh, how relieved I felt to see him laugh again. I joined in the laughter. My fingers then tickled him, and we both giggled on the quite crowded bus.Shortly after, the bus arrived at my school's bus stop. I squeezed his hand and gathered the courage to kiss Laird's cheek. He immediately blushed."I'll go first." I waved my hand at him, and he waved back at me with a shy smile.I got off at the still-deserted school bus stop. I couldn't believe that I managed to wake up earlier just to catch the same bus as Laird. He attended a higher-ranked private school that was farther away from mine. As I reconsidered everything, I realized that I was walking to my school alone.I wondered how I could get through the days that felt empty without Laird. Our situation was vastly different from our elementary school days. Everything seemed lighthearted at first, but now I feel a heavy cloud above my
