Chapter 9
"Oh my God, Todd?"
Judah huffs, clearly not concerned. He rolls his eyes.
" Serena." Todd calls again and knocks on my door.
" Shit! Judah, you gotta leave through the back door." I whisper and plead.
" Fuck, no!"
God he's so stubborn.
" Serena, are you in?" Todd knocks again.
" Judah, please. We fought today and you're the reason behind it. I can't let him see you with me, it's gonna make him think I'm truly cheating on him with you." I plead and pout.
Judah doesn't even look like he cared. Of course he doesn't even care. I bet he doesn't even have feelings.
" So he thought you were fucking me or what? What, am I not cute enough?"
"Fucking hell, Judah. You're annoying." I tell him and he smirks.
" Serena." Todd knocks again. This time louder. I badly want to let him in.
But he's definitely gonna freak out. Get a
Chapter 10 " What's going on here? Todd, how did you know Judah?" I ask, glancing at both men. Todd doesn't respond. Judah smirks." Can someone please answer me? What the fuck is going on in here?"" What are you even doing with my girl?" Todd asks. Like this is the right time to ask that type of question. Damn, I'm sick. I just wanna go home right now." Talk later, Margaret." Judah says and leaves. I watch the door shut as I cross my arms to stare at Todd." Margaret?" Todd asks surprisingly. I roll my eyes at him." How did you know Judah?" Todd asks again." He's my neighbor. Same neighbor whom I gave a ride. How did you know Judah? I'm pretty sure I didn't tell you his name and you've never seen him before."" You gave Judah a ride? I thought he left the city." Todd says." Todd, what's going on?"Todd doesn't answ
Chapter 11 I stare at this man in front of me as he says these words. I hate to admit how he makes me feel. I part my lips to say something but nothing comes out. Judah smirks, satisfied with my reaction as he turns to leave. I watch him go to his kitchen and I follow. He pulls out a cancer stick and lights it without once looking at me. A cloud of smoke surrounds him. I don't fancy smokers but Judah makes everything look perfect." I… uh… I wanted to…. You know…" shit, why am I stuttering. Judah chuckles and turns to look at me, flicking the ash on the ashtray that sits on his counter. He puts back the stick in his mouth and walks to my shuddering form. He grabs the hem of my hoodie and pulls me to him." We can make this easy for us." He says with the stick in his mouth. I want to run my hands down his tousled locks but I fight back the urge. &nb
Chapter 12" You own a car?" I ask Judah as I slip inside his car. Not just any car, a fucking sport's car." You ask so many irrelevant questions, Julie." I huff and fasten my seatbelt." So we're back to the names of your ex's, huh? I'm patiently waiting for the day you'll call me Mercedes." I tell him without looking at him. Judah chuckles silently. I can feel him staring at me but I don't look at him." So how much of the conversation did you hear?" I watch the way he speeds onto the road and he's not even wearing a seatbelt. He's a lunatic, a cute one though." A lot."" Even when she moaned?" Judah asks and turns to look at me. I look away and look out the window. He's trying to make me feel these strange feelings again. I should go to church, it's been a long time." Look, we're not gonna talk about your sexual life with your girls, i don't care if she's your slut."
Chapter 13 I rush out of the bathroom and follow Judah. I hasten my steps and try to catch up with him. Damn his long legs. Judah stops by his car and opens the passenger's side door. I stop and try to catch my breath." Okay, I get it, you're tall and all that shit, you don't have to walk so fast." He rolls his eyes at my word and ushers me to enter. Oh wait, he just opened the car door for me. I thought the last guy who opened the car door for a girl died six thousand years ago. Judah must be his reincarnation. I mean Todd doesn't open the door for you, you just gotta get in yourself." Get in, will you?"" Yeah, I will Judah, breathe." I tell him and enter his car. He sighs loudly for me to hear it and he shuts the door once I'm seated." So where are we going?" I ask Judah once he's inside. Seatbelt still not fastened." Somewhere, Margaret."" I got
Chapter 14" Serena."" Hi, nice to finally meet you." I force a smile." You're a pretty one. Dinner is this way." Albert says and gestures to the dining room. Todd rests his hand on my lower back and leads me to the table. We sit down opposite his parents. I look at Charlotte. With all the emotional trauma I'm sure she's going through right now, she still had to smile." Oh my God, I'm so sorry that I'm late." A girl waltzes in as she sits close to me. She has straight blonde hair which was bleached. Tan skin and she looks like my age. She wears a pink crop top and a short black skirt. She's kinda pretty, looks a lot like Charlotte." Really, Diana. You know every Friday is the family's dinner, you don't have to be late." Charlotte says. He had a sister, how come I'm not aware of this? I scan her features and she looks like someone who just had a nose job. She
Chapter 15 I stand outside and look at the dark. I'm still angry and scared at the same time. I pull out my phone and check my time, it's past nine already. I sigh and begin walking. There's no damn car on the road and this is more difficult than I thought. Maybe I shouldn't have fought with Todd if I'm gonna end up being stranded. Same time I am glad I told him my mind. How he's been an asshole all this time and acting like a control freak. Telling me who to be friends with. I continue walking down the lonely street as I look around. I look through my contacts, no one to call. Not even one person. Maybe I should have asked Chloe and Thomas for their numbers if I'm gonna make it out alive from this street. And Judah, this is the point where he's supposed to be useful. I can't believe I told Todd to his face that I'd fuck Judah gladly. What was I even thinking? Judah ma
Chapter 16" What's he doing here?" Todd asks. I sigh and cross my arms." We're fucking, get out." Judah says behind me. I turn around and glare at him as I swat his chest. He smirks up at me bites his bottom lip. He looks down at Todd and huffs. I can't let them fight. Because physically Todd isn't a match for Judah, I can't watch my neighbor beat up my ex boyfriend." Can you excuse us? Please?" I ask Judah. Judah looks down at me for confirmation and I nod. I gesture for him to go inside and he does not after shooting Todd a death glare. I shut my door and step out on the porch." Why's he here Serena?" He asks and I cross my arms." You can't just slap me yesterday and come over to my house to ask me why my neighbor is in my house."" This isn't any neighbor Serena, this is Judah."" So what?"" You know he's gonna hu
Chapter 17 My head hurts and it feels like some people are drumming against my head. I try to open my eyes but I hold my head instead. Everything feels blank as I try to open my eyes. Everything seems blurry and I can hear little muffled voices. I sit up at once and hold my head in my hands groaning." God…" I blink my eyes and look around this unfamiliar room. This isn't my room. The wall is a light pink with pictures of Beyoncé pasted on it. The pain is terrible, I feel like my head's gonna fall off. And then I remembered what happened. How my head was slammed against my car window by Todd." You need to take this." A familiar voice says. I clean my eyes with one hand while the other holds my head. Diana smiles at me holding a glass of water and pills." What happened?" My voice croaks. I take the water and the pills from her as I swallow it dry, pushing the p
