Lovers But Not Lovers

Chapter 1- The Proposal

***Desiree's POV****
It was 6am in the morning. This was the first term of my sophomore year in highschool. Just a year more and I'm done.

I lazily dragged my phone from my beside table and checked the time. Yep, just as I guessed. 6am.

I went to my bathroom, I brushed my teeth first then used my mouthwash. Then I showered.

After spending 40 minutes in the bathroom as my bathroom was my brainstorming ideas palace, I finally came out. Time to get dressed.

The most annoying thing when it came to my getting ready for school was dressing up. I had to pick a decent cloth to avoid coming up here twice when my mom doesn't approve.

Today, not having the strength, I chose a black denim fitted jeans and an ash crop hoodie, with a white canvas.

My hair was box-braided into long hair attachments of black and gold, so I just packed it up. It was three inches below my bra length when packed up but a inch below my waist when let down.

After looking at myself in the mirror, feeling pretty good. I applied my mascara and lip gloss. I had already packed enough moisturizer and sunscreen, so yeah, I'm set for today.

I reached onto my reading table that was opposite my dresser and got my black cotton-like backpack and headed out of my room. Not before getting my ring that was just pure gold with a black stone shaped like a heart.

I got this ring for my 17th birthday amidst the other sets of jewelry I had. I like wearing it on my ring finger because I scares away guy.

They think it's a promise ring.

As I headed out of my room, my mother was already blowing the ' you are late for school' alarm to me and my siblings.

Okay, quick family check.

I have one elder sister, she's a year higher than I am. Two younger brothers, twins, slightly identical, I am two years higher than them.

My elder sister Willers is 19 years. My twin brothers are Lucian and Lucas are 14. Plus my parents, we are a happy family of six. Each gender equal in number in the house.

"Willers, hope your gown is almost to your knee". My mother said way across the kitchen.

Willers and I closed our room doors at the same time, so when my mom said that, I compulsively looked at her dress and lo and behold, it wasn't even near her knee. It stopped mid-thigh.

I looked back at my sister and smirked"Get ready to die, Will".
"I dare her to kill me". She said in her usual she-knows-i-love-her-she-won't-do-anything tone.

We walked downstairs and just as I thought, my mom nearly ran crazy seeing Willers like that.

"What the hell are you wearing?". My mom asked, as her eyes sockets were wide enough for her eyes to bulge out.
"A dress". Willers replied.
"You...." My mom said as she began chasing Willers around the white marble kitchen island.
Willers laughter filling the while room as she ran from my mom and came to hide behind me.

"Mom, relax". I said smiling.
"Relax?" My mom said."Can't you see what she's wearing. Trying to give a view to all those guys for free".
Willers on a mission to make my mom mad said"If they pay, can they watch?".

My mom looked at me in bafflement. My dad footsteps heard.
"Morning children ".
"Morning, dad". We all responded.
He then noticed the wooden spoon in my mom's hand and smiled.
"Still on the dress, hon?". He said after pecking her on her forehead.
"This children won't kill me". My mom said in surrender, setting breakfast for my dad.
"At least we have two who listens". My dad joked.

Right from time, it was I and Willers to the world. I would defend her in front of everyone but scold her in private if she did something wrong. The same thing for me. So for this sole reason of sister-keepers stuff, we've been elected as the bad and disobedient children.

We ate our breakfast of pancakes and orange juice and set out. All of us entering our Rav4 Jeep.

My sister was the first they dropped since her stop point was first before anyone else.
After her was my twin brothers and I was the last.

I got to school by 7:59, just in time for me to hear the bell ring.
"We need to get up earlier tomorrow. Have a nice day, honey".
"Love you mom. Love you dad".
This was our daily routine but except the part of waking up early.

She usually doesn't think we are late until she drops me and hears my bell rings. But if she doesn't hear it ring then we are early.

I breathed in as I walked through the front door. Setting my mind for any bullshit.

I walked to my locker and got my books out. My first topic was History. God, I hated this subject.

I went to the bathroom first to checked if anything was out of place, maybe a sweat was breaking loose because of all the built-up anxiety.

I'm not a very social person but everyone in my house is. I'm the only in my house wearing a double B-sized bra. My sis was a proud double C and my mom as a double D.

Guess it runs in my family. But my mom and sister had the triangle shape but I had the proud hourglass figure.

My hips were really noticable not too big but not small either. My waist was really tiny. A whopping 20inches. And it showed more when I wear a body con. My mom and sister's waist was about a 22inches.

I walked to class after admiring my body for sometime and got in before the teacher came in.

As soon as I walked in all the guys in my class was wooing me. Lest I forget, I have a round ass and round boobs. My boobs were perky even without a bra and they were round too. I don't have a big, enomorous ass , just like my boobs not too small and not to huge but noticable. But in a way, my ass was bigger than my breast.

So as I walked pass a couple guys, I wasn't surprised as to how they turned their necks and their eyes followed me to my seat.

I sat down beside the school king.
SALVATORE VEZON

Believe it or not, this guy was a true Mexican god. From his blue eyes to his slightly plump lips to his broad shoulders and long slim legs. Not skinny, slim.

I made eyes contact with him before sitting down and he smirked at me while talking to his friend.

As I sat down I prayed earnestly for this class to end quickly.

And in about an hour and thirty minutes, it was over. As people rushed to gather their things, I was just on my chair doing my assignment in class because I know the kind of sisterly distraction  going to be waiting for my return.

I was engrossed in the assignment until I felt eyes boring holes into my face. I stopped writing, squinted my eyes and turned.

There he was live and direct staring at me. We made eyes contact and my mouth went dry. I stupidly looked at his eyes and I swallowed hard.

Damn, he was a hard starter. Even after being caught.

He smirked. "Desiree, right?".
He knew my name?.

"How did you know my name?". This was the first thing I said and it sounded stupid.
Why won't he know my name?. 'We are in the same history class, dummy'. I said to myself.

"Well, I just know". He said looking at me. I saw his eyes move to my lips and he licked his own lips.
I was probably just imagining, right?.

We stared at each other for sometime. I broke the silence.
"What do you want?".  I asked him, but not rudely, though.
"I want you to be my best friend". He said staring at me.
"Hmm?".
"You heard right, Desiree!".
"Why?"
"Because I want you to". He looked at me. 
No way right?.
I was possibly dreaming. But it felt real .
Argh, I'm going crazy.
