The Guy I Couldn't Stay Away From

CHAPTER 5

Louvina's POV

"LOU!" I groan. Everyone has got me groaning too much lately. I'm getting tired of groaning.

Just then, Abbey barges into my room.
Before I get to complain, she stomps over to me and crosses her arms over her chest.

"Did Adam come here?" She asks

My eyes widen and I take a minute to get over myself.
How does she know? I wonder.

"No" I answer in a calm voice.

"No?" She asks again

"No. But why do you ask?" I question

She rolls her eyes and lets out a dark chuckle before taking out her phone and clicking some things and turns it to me.

"Adam streaked this" She says

I couldn't believe my eyes. He streaked a selfie of him in front of my house with the caption, "Visiting a dear friend"
What the hell was he thinking

I open my mouth to explain to her why he came here but she puts a hand up to stop me.

"Why did you lie? And no stummering. Think long and hard about your answer because it may cost you your life" she threatens tapping her foot impatiently.

I scan my mental dictionary looking for the right words to say to her but my brain decides to betray me and go blank.

"Lou, is there anything I should know about?" She asks but much calmer than the first time.

Finally, I speak up.
"No Abbs. Yes he came here but just to deliver my favourite ice cream to help me feel better and yes I lied but only because I knew you would be angry. I know you're serious about your rule and I just didn't want to make you worry over an ice cream delivery"

She stares at me warily as if pondering whether to believe me or not so I decide to prove it to her.
I get up from my bed and walk over to the little trash can in the corner of my room and pick up the paper bag that read "ice on wheels".

She seems to relax her shoulders before guilt takes over her face
"I'm sorry Lou. I should've trusted you"
She says apologetically.

"Whatever" I shrug

"I really am sorry Lou. Please say you forgive me" she pleads

"You know I have Abbs" I say with a smile.

She literally pounces on me and gives me a bone-crushing hug before kissing my cheek repeatedly.

"Eww please stop" I cringe, trying to push her away from me and I let out a sigh of relief when she actually stops.

"I'll see you later okay"

"Mmm" I hum in response and watch as she exits my room.

I settle on my bed once more now feeling guilty.
I let her apologise for nothing. She was right to be worried about Adam visiting me when I was alone at home and considering what happened, I was going to make it my rule to stay away from Adam.

But I wasn't sure if I could follow it because coming so close to kissing him made me crave those plump twins even more.

*****************

Keke coming over after school yesterday made me realise how much I really missed her. Ever since Abbey returned 8 months ago, I've not really spent quality time with Keke and I was starting to feel like a horrible best friend. That is why I suggested we have a sleepover but at her house. Why?
She didn't have an extremely nosy mother who would randomly barge into her daughter's room pretending to be looking for a nonexistent object just to eavesdrop on her conversation with her best friend or to catch a glimpse of what she was watching with her best friend to make sure it wasn't porn.

I really loved my mom but a couple of months ago, Keke and I agreed to have all our sleepovers at hers since her family understood what privacy really meant.

On Friday, after school, I rushed home to get my stuff for my sleepover. I packed a couple of clothes, underwear (even though I knew I could always borrow some of Keke's) and two pairs of shoes just in case we decided to go out. For the other stuff, I already had an extra at Keke's house

When I was done, I swung the bag in which I had packed my things over my shoulder and left my room. I went to Abbey's room to say bye and right after that, I headed downstairs to the front door.

I opened the door and immediately regretted it.

In front of me stood Adam, who looked like he was about to open the door himself.

Right when he saw me, he smiled. It was one of those flirty smiles that made me weak in the knees.

"Gonna let me in or what?" He asks, combing his hand through his dark brown hair.

Damn! This dude really knew what to do to make me drool.

Snapping out of my little reverie there, I open the door wider to let him in.

"How I wish that worked with other doors too. You know to get me into any place I wanted."
He whispers as he passes beside me. "And I'm not talking about doors, mind you"

I stand still for a while trying to figure out what he meant and when I do, I let out a loud gasp alongside with my tomato face. He starts laughing and I don't dare look at him as I walk out the door. I then let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

That jerk. He knew what he was doing. And since I fell into his trap thrice now, I don't think he'll ever stop teasing me.
