Ashton Pov:
"Shit," I mumbled as I sped walk through the hallway hurriedly trying to get to Ms.Harris's class. I foolishly forgot to charge my phone last night so my alarm didn't go off and now I'm late as hell. As I neared the classroom door I accidentally bumped into someone causing them to drop all their belongings.
"Shit my bad," I said apologetically, helping the girl pick up her belongings. "It's fine," she replied, tucking a strand of her long chestnut loose wave hair behind her ear, then proceeded to grab her keys and phone off the floor.
"I'm Delilah, I've never seen you before what's your name," she asked, giving me a kind smile while her eyes discreetly roamed my body. "Ashton," I replied while smiling back politely. "Well Ashton, are you going to the party tonight?" I sighed "I might stop by."
"Well, their epic you don't want to miss it. If you do decide to come make sure to come and find me you won't be disappointed." She said flirtatiously, winking at me. I winked back at her then made my way to my most dreadful class.
"How nice of you to finally join us, Mr.Romano." Ms. Harris said as I entered the classroom. "Go sit next to your assigned partner."
I scoffed lightly and made my way over to my desk. "For this first partnership assignment, I want you all to watch a historically accurate movie or television show and then write a well-written overview of what you watched. I will now give you some time to discuss what you and your partner will watch and a schedule to complete the assignment. It is due in two weeks, March twenty-sixth."
I turned my attention from Ms.Harris to Jade. She was dressed in black Nike sweatpants that showed off her figure even if she wasn't trying, black crocs that looked comfortable on her feet, and an oversized hoodie that hung loosely on her body. Her body posture radiated 'don't fuck with me' energy and that's exactly what made me want to fuck with her.
"Uh, fidget are we going to discuss the movie or show we're going to watch?"
She sighed annoyedly and gave me a bored look. "We're watching Titanic since I like the movie and before you ask yes it is historically correct. You can come over any day next week except Monday and we'll split the overview half and half," she said dismissively.
who said she was in charge and gets to make all the decisions?
"Or since I've never seen the movie and you have how about maybe you just write the overview. I would hate to I don't know hold you back." I said jokingly.
Jade Pov:
I reached my hand over and placed mine on top of his. "Ashton honey, this is not some cliche romance novel where the shy quiet smart girl does the arrogant hot assholes work okay." I thought about stopping there but what's the fun in that, so I decided to torment him more.
"Is it because I'm black?" I questioned accusingly. "Huh, what?" He replied with a confused expression on his face. "You heard me, is it because I'm a black woman? You think I'm obligated to do the white man's work. What's next you want me to cook your food and call you master."
His once smug expression began to turn worried. "Jade no I didn't mean it like-" I raised my hand silencing him. "No, I know what you meant. And don't give me the "I have black friends'' statement. Probably got a KKK uniform hidden in your basement and a confederate flag hanging in your room. Do you know how hard my ancestors worked just to be free from yours and here you are today asking a black woman to do your work? You should be ashamed of yourself. A racist." His features turned apologetic; he was in pure utter shock.
Ashton Pov:
I was speechless. I was just joking around and it all just happened so fast. I gulped and cleared my throat as I prepared to apologize. "Jade I am-"
She burst out laughing. Tears of laughter forming in her eyes at my confused expression. I watched as she used her freshly manicured hand to stifle her boisterous laugh.
"You-you should see your face." She said while cackling. "Oh dear god, Ashton you should've seen your face. I'm just fucking with you." I let out a few fake laughs when honestly I was still confused as hell and even weirder aroused. The way she got all serious and demanding with me was something my dick surely enjoyed.
Embarrassing.
"Yeah, yeah fuck you." I shot back, giving her the middle finger. "When?" she replied, giving me a seductive expression. "When I'm done fucking the hot girl Delilah I just met in the hallway. She told me to come to find her at the party."
She rolled her eyes at me.
"What's wrong, jealous? Because you can't go first don't worry sweetheart you'll get your time."
"Jealousy is not my cup of tea. Why be jealous if I could do better."
I scoffed "I'd like to see you try."
"Watch me. Challenge accepted." she retorted sending me a wink.
The bell rang. Honestly, I wasn't feeling confident about this bet. I began to get up out of my seat when I felt a hand grab my arm.
"Oh and one more thing you should know Ashton. I don't lose." She assured me. "Correction you didn't lose up until now." I spat back confidently.
Jade Pov:
Well, I'm screwed I thought to myself as I made my way to calculus. Liv's gonna have a field day with this new 'bet'. I can already hear the jokes now.
'Who's gonna be your date tonight, boogeyman?'
'This isn't build a nigga workshop I can't just build you a date for tonight.'
Malik tapping my shoulder pulled me out of my thoughts. "You alright Jade?" He asked with a concerned expression displaying on his face.
"You look kind of nervous." He continued as I was about to assure him that everything was fine until I got an idea.
"I'll be alright if you go with me to the dance tonight as my date." His eyebrows furrowed together "why? I thought we were all going together."
"Yes but I accidentally made a stupid bet that I'd have a hot date for the party tonight, and I don't have a date so I was wondering if you could be my fake date to the party tonight."
"Jade I would but word on the street is students from Jackson Academy are coming and you know I want that girl Kasey Evans that goes there. Who'd you make this bet with anyways?"
I grumbled under my breath "Ashton."
"Why did you make this kind of bet with Ashton?" He asked confusedly, raising his left eyebrow. "He got a date with Delilah for the party tonight and he thought I was jealous so I made a bet that I could do better."
He nodded his head in understanding. "Did he think you were jealous or are you jealous? We all see the way you two flirt with each other."
My mouth dropped open in surprise "We don't-" He raised his index finger to my lips. "Don't even try to deny it Jade you two need to just get a room already. Now let's stop talking and do our work before we get detention." I rolled my eyes and nodded my head in agreement.
