Falling In Love With My Enemy

Complement

It was  closing time and everyone was ready to go home, lily on the other hand was overly excited because she was going over to Ace's mansion to work on their project, she slammed her locker and grinned at Sylvia

"I feel like Cinderella" she beamed

" If you knew what Cinderella went through with her step mother, honey you won't dream of being Cinderella " Sylvia said

"Whatever" she wore her bag and twirled

"Lily" Ace called from behind and lily froze and turned around

"Ace" she adjusted her bag and smiled nervously

"Are you ready to leave?" Lily nodded gleefully like a child who was asked if she wanted candy.

"I'm sorry Sylvia but I will have to steal your best friend for the rest of the day "

Lily chuckled "Sylvia doesn't mind, right?" Before she could answer lily already grabbed his hands and walked away yelling bye. It was only Sylvia now, Jane had gone with Sam a long while ago, Sylvia sighed wondering were Jack was. She also wondered  why he wasn't like his friend Ace, calm , good character , and nice,. But Jack, he was the exact opposite.

she slammed her locker and someone held her shoulder afraid she turned around and threw a punch, realization kicked in when jack held his stomach and everyone was staring at her.

"Are you nuts?!"

"Shit,I didn't know it was you"

"Still, who goes around punching people?!" he yelled

"You scared me" she was feeling a little guilty now

He stood up removing the strands of hair that covered his eyes " I could have been seriously injured "

"You deserved it"

"Wow" he scoffed "  You're not going to apologize "

"Let's go" she started to walk away

"Hey " he called after her while following and when she stopped at the entrance he took her hand but she pulled it away.

"Do you know how many girls are praying for me to hold their hands?"

She wiped her hand on his shirt " go look for those girls then"

"It didn't hurt that much, so you don't have to feel guilty"

"It didn't hurt?, aish  maybe next time I will make sure you  end up seriously injured"

"You throw a lousy punch "

" if it wasn't painful why make such a big fuss about it?"

"To make you feel guilty"

"Well it didn't work"

"Not even a little?, bummer, I was sure you had a little feeling for me"

"What?"

"Never mind let's go" he started walking

"I don't have any feelings for you!" she shouted after him

"What, you have feelings for me Sylvia Daniel?" He shouted back to her and the girls who were at the entrance looked at her and started whispering in their ears.

"You jerk!" She started walking towards him

"You love me!" Jack shouted louder and the girls started giggling
She wanted to punch him again but Jack caught her fist before it landed on his cheek.

"I hate you"

He moved closer and whispered in her hear " I know, I just wanted to make sure". He let her hand down and started towards his car.

"A beauty isn't she?, I just got " He said as she had caught up with him.

Looking at his Ferrari Sylvia yawned, "yes amazing, such a nice thing to waste your father's money on" she quipped

"I can sense sarcasm"

"You were supposed to"

"Let's go" he said mumbling incoherently, instead of opening the door for her he went over to the driver's side and got in " Ace is better" she mumbled opened the door and purposely banged the door.

"Hey easy with her "

"Oh sorry" she opened the door again and banged it even harder

"I thought we made a deal?" He grumbled as he started the engine.

"I thought I said step by step process twit"

"I feel we won't leave the first stage"

She gave him a fake smile and looked away

"If you ever want to buy a car, just give me a call, I can choose the right one that will suite your personality"

"Really, which one would that be?"  She didn't want to be here, she didn't want to have any conversation with him, Jack could sense that in her tone but he still brought up topics to discuss on.

"A Lamborghini, she's fierce"

She snickered "Is that a complement Jack Brooke?"

"Yes and the only one you'll get from me "

"I wasn't bent on getting complements from you"

"Hmmm" he hummed and continued driving.

*******

"So what do you think we should do for the project" Ace removed his jacket and placed it on the arm of the chair rolled his sleeves and rested on the head of the office chair.

Lily was dumbfounded not just by the fact that Ace's reading room was twice bigger than hers and hers was very big. The shelves was high and filled with books they looked like those in a library neatly arranged and dusted, no book was out of place and the room was spacious painted in white and gold, it seemed like book heaven, you know the place where books go when they die, do books even die, no those places where books go if they get destroyed. Lily was dumbfounded by the fact that Ace stood there resting on the red office chair behind the reading table staring at her with is magnificent ash coloured eyes and his perfectly combed black hair which tip were tinted white  and was long enough to reach his shoulders and his perfect body physique .

"I don't k....know" she stuttered and sat down on the chair directly opposite his .

He looked at her intently and smiled melting her heart.

"Are you planning to make a statue of me as the science project?" She tilted her head to the side

"Why do you ask?" Not taking her eyes off her he asked.

"You're studying me"

He blinked a couple of times " I'm sorry, it just happened "

" It's okay" she blushed

"You're intriguing "

"No I'm flattered"
He laughed and she followed

"But seriously what are we doing for the project?" He asked after the tense atmosphere had been cleared.

"Maybe we should try whatever pops up on our mind, my mind is telling me burn the  school down"

"My mind is telling to search up for some ideas "

"I like how your mind works"

"I'm sorry I can't return that complement" he smiled and brought out his phone and when he heard his name being yelled out by a sweet voice he looked up sharply to see his little brother running towards him. He hugged him when he came to his side and Lily suppressed the urge to say  awwwn , instead she just smiled.

"How was school?" The older asked the younger

"It was great only I wished you could pick me up"

"I was busy champ" he ruffled his hair and looked up to introduce lily but the expression on Lily's face meant there was trouble.

Lily face palm herself " I completely forgot to pick up my sister!" She said in horror.
