Gray looks at me before walking out of the restaurant with his order. Alexa squealed with a victory dance and that made some customers chatter amongst themselves. Leslie faked a smile and giggled.
" That was sudden."
" That's how to get a boy. Learn from the best."
" So what are you gonna do when he calls you?" Leslie asks.
"We booked a hotel and..." She wiggle her brows and smile.
" What if he doesn't call you?" I choose to ask.
"He will. Everyone likes a good pussy." She winks and drinks her coffee.
I feel weird like
"Are you okay?" I blink my eyes open and I'm in my room. I sit up at once and rub my temple. Alexa was beside me while mom, dad and Leslie just watched. "When did you start having a panic attack?" Dad asks and crosses his arms. "I don't know. I'm fine." "Have you gone to therapy lately?" Alexa asks as she touches my forehead. "Yeah. Guys I'm fine. Thank God that crazy argument is over. I should be looking forward to starting college." I sigh and rub my nape. Mom breathed in as she walked out with dad. Who knew they care this much about me. Leslie faked a smile and followed them.
~GRAY~ Nervous , pretty , cute , smart and sometimes strange. That's what I see Ariel as. Her beautiful dark brown eyes always seem to make me look at her every second without even noticing. Each time I look at her, I see a really shy girl who's afraid of men. She's beautiful , Enticing and worst still sexy and I bet she doesn't notice. There's something in her that draws me close to her without even thinking about precautions. I don't wanna scare her away with my bad side. "Gray." She calls out totally taken off guard. What's she doing here? Looking so goddamn irresistible. She makes me want to do dirty things to her. Hold her so close to me and kiss her
~GRAY~"Boss, Trent is on the phone." Manny says stretching my phone at me. I huff irritated , and butt the cigarette on an ashtray."Speaker.""Gray..." Trent's thick voice speaks through the phone."What ?""What happened to our bargain , Gray ?""We're still partners Trent. I'll send my boys over to San Francisco tomorrow. You okay now ?""Yeah. I'm opening my new casino tomorrow. It's gonna be a honor if you'll be there.""I'm not your girlfriend, Trent." I blow out the smoke of the cigarette as I rest my head on the couch."Gray." Trent's voice calls out through the phone."I'll be there.""Sure thing."Manny hang up the call and drop the phone on the coffee table."Gray." I heard that familiar voice as she walks into my house.Her black tight skirt hugged every of her large figures as she fits perfectly on her white dress shirt. She throws a brown envelope on the glass table and s
"I'm calling mom and you're dropping out of college.." those words were like ice but right now I don't even care. I'm tired of being treated like trash. A ten years old."Ariel.." Alexa call my name as she walks into my room. Stopping right at my door frame she looks at Leslie's red face and smirk."I'm not a prophet but I'm sure someone almost got murdered."For some awkward reason Leslie fears Alexa. And they are both same age."Sup Leslie. You don't look good but don't worry we will talk about it once we're back. My boyfriend's waiting downstairs , got to hurry." She grab my hand and blow kisses at Leslie before we walk down the hallway.We step into the elevator and I'm still quiet. I hate being threatened. And without doubts after this party something bad is definitely gonna happen."You look pretty." Alexa smiles at me to lighten the mood.I fake a smile and sigh."Look I don't know what happened b
We turn in unison to look at this perfectly shaved gentle man with his super sewed suit. And now I'm shy because he almost withneesed us kissing."Mr Carter , nice to see you again." He stretch his hands out politely to take Gray's."Welcome milady." He directs his greetings to me as I smile."Thank you Desmond." Gray says as we follow this man behind. His hands not leaving mine.I stare at this place and it's beautiful and quiet. The street lights illuminated the outdoor as people pair along , laughing and talking. It's like there's a carnival today. I glance at the stores at the right and it's transparent glass . Pizzeria huh , hmm."You're okay ?" Gray whispers giving my hand a gentle squeeze."Yeah." I gulp at the foreign feeling at the contact of our hands as I tried to sneak out of his grip. He was stronger and refused to give in.We walk to a field as we walk up the hill. It was far romantic up here. You could see the entire popul
GRAY'S POV "Please..." I whisper placing her hand on my chest. She's nervous again and that seems to turn me on. She's always so innocent and breath taking. She swallow an unknown lump and lean closer. She clasp her lips on mine and wrap her right hand on my neck. Her lips were perfect just like the first time. I pull her close to me and kiss her deeply. My hand wrap tightly around her waist as we kiss. I'm glad she ain't stopping cause I won't let her. Teasing her bottom lip , I suck gently on it and bite it. She moans in my mouth and trail her fingers down my chest. We stop to catch our breath and I lean my forehead on hers. She breathe in and out and open her eyes slowly to look at me. "That was good.." I mutter and kiss her forehead. She giggle and blush. "I'm really sorry if I didn't.. you know..." "Shh.. Snow White that was great. You made my birthday." I smile and rub circles on her lower back. She abse
" I don't know." I shrug."You don't know ?" Mom asks quite mesmerized with my sudden confession." Seriously Ariel. So a ghost gave you love bites ?" Leslie chip in and I which I could chop out her gossip mouth. Of course I can't do that."I'm not lying.." of course you're. My conscience taunts me."I went out with Alexa and she decides we go party. I got drunk and maybe some random person touched me." I lie. I almost puke to my lies. A random man seriously.At least it's better than saying it's Gray. My mom's gonna embarrass me and I don't want it."You were drunk again ? And a random man gave you hickeys ? So you're now a random whore ?" Mom asks. My heart squeeze to her claims . I'm always hurt when being called whore."Ariel, what do you want ?" Dad asks calmly for once."I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I was bored at home and I decide to go with Alex. .""You know , the first time you got drunk was because o
Leslie sits on a chair as she wince continuously at her almost swollen cheek and broken nose. Piper did that and for some devilish reasons I applauded her. I didn't plan to attend a frat party and also I don't wanna argue with my parents again. I wanna go to college , graduate and work. Fighting and arguing with Leslie will never make me complete those dreams. And there's no job around college. No one's willing to hire because we're way pass the semester and exams are also approaching. Plus this isn't an ordinary college. It's so expensive.I sit opposite her and watch as she stare at nothing. She's angry and any slight remark we will be fighting. I pleaded with Brandon to take Piper out and text them afterwards that i was sorry."You know you cause this right ?" She snarls."I can't remember I did. You couldn't control your temper because of a stupid frat party. I never wanted to go but you just freaked out."She snorts and bite
