Chapter 2

Nova

When me and Nyla got home from school, dad was here which is unusual but I don't find the time to question about it.

Mom was gone so I sit down by dad on the couch.

"Why are you here so early?" I ask kicking off my shoes.

"I decided to do work from home today," he says and my eyebrows furrow in confusion. "It's nothing permanent."

"How was school?"

"I have a project due before our senior trip and we're assigned partners," I explain. I nervously interlocked my fingers, dad definitely wasn't a big fan of Sean, no one really was but this is my dad we're talking about.

My dad and Sean's dad have some kind of beef and I guess because that's his son, he hates him as well.

"Oh interesting?" He chuckles. "Who's yours?"

"That... Sean kid," I say quietly but he heard me and turned his head to look at me.

"Billy son?," he asks and I nod my head. "So he's gonna be in my house?"

"Unless you rather we work at his," I reply quickly. I watch as my dad furrow his eyebrows before he turns to look at me.

He stays silent for a moment and chuckles. "No, here is fine." He gets up from the couch and walks into the kitchen. "That way I can keep an eye on you two."

I laugh and follow him. "You have nothing to worry about dad, I promise." I just wanted to get a good grade on this and never speak to him again.

He nods his head and an alarm on my phone goes off startling me.

"Oh crap," I say grabbing my keys. "I need to get my oil changed."

•••

I pulled up to the only car shop in this town which is owned by Carter, he does great work for good prices on my car especially my oil changes. I pull into the garage and there I see Sean. My eyes widened.

He notices me pulling up and I park turning off my jeep. My heart drops into my stomach when he slowly approaches.

He chuckles humorlessly. "You following me now?"

I could see the dirt on his face, his hair was a mess but sexy at the same time and this is the first time I can actually see how built he is. My eyes trail down his arm where black ink marked his skin, I was thrown into shock. Who knew all of us was hiding under those hoodies.

Checking him out in this state is doing something to me. He coughs, catching me off guard clearly noticing me him eye fuck him.

My god.

"I always come here, never seen you," I say trying to regain myself.

"He stepped out, is there something I can do for you?" He steps closer to me and I swallow the lump that formed in my throat. I look up and meet his dark brown eyes.

Never thought he was this tall up close..

My stomach feels weird and I take a step back to create some distance.
