Yours truly

Chapter 22

Racheal's POV
He sat still for a minute before he stood up placed my feets carefully on the barstool he was occupying and made his way around the kitchen.

He opened and closed a few drawers before he made his way back to me, gathered my feets in his hand, took a seat and placed them on his lap. He unscrewed the cap of the ointment turned some into his fingers and began applying them softly on my blisters.

"Does this happen every time?" he asked softly. "Never really happened to me before, but I expected it since I slacked off a little" I replied and he hummed a reply.

"You shouldn't be moving around by yourself" he said raising his head to meet my gaze.

"I was fine and I wasn't really alone you know" I answered.

"Your stalker could be anyone, the Uber driver, your friend from this morning, you little dance partner you were getting cozy with" his grip tightened a little as he said the last part.

"They would- hold up were you spying on me?" I asked but he remained quiet.

"Unbelievable" I scoffed ripped my feet from his grip, got off the stool and exited the kitchen.

I slipped into my room closed the door behind me and locked it. I slid my bag off my shoulder, placed it on the bed and took off the remaining pair of shoe and sock I had on.

I peeled off my shirt and bra and traded them for an oversized tee and swapped my baggy jean for some shorts, pulled off the covers climbed into bed and dozed off.

I groaned drowsily at the slight discomfort I was feeling. My eyes slowly slipped open as I stared blankly at the ceiling for a few minutes as I gathered my bearings.

I winced at the sharp pain on my stomach as I loud growl followed shortly after. I sat up stretched and grabbed my tote bag I placed at the end of the bed.

I zipped open the bag and fished out my phone, I woke the screen and checked the time. 8:40am i have three hours before my class start. I thought as my stomach grumbled again. 

I slid off the bed ran my fingers through my messy hair and exited the room.

I muttered a quiet good morning to Asher and Sarah as I passed by the living room. I entered the kitchen but slowed down my steps when I noticed a beautiful brunette in standing in the middle of our kitchen wearing only an oversized T-shirt.

"Good morning" she greeted with a smile and went back to turning a glass of juice. "Morning" I muttered back as I passed her and headed to the fridge. Must be one of Mason's hookup I thought as I scanned through the fridge for something to eat. But I thought he was with Cassie my hand paused mid air as I was about to grab the carton of milk.

"Is he cheating on her? No he wouldn't be dumb enough to do it in the house, "or was I mistaken, I'm never mistaken"

"Snap out of it Racheal it doesn't concern u" I said shaking my head.

"Are u okay?" The brunette asked looking at me weirdly.

Shit I said that last part out loud. "Yeah" I said giving her an awkward smile and closed the fridge.

I grabbed the cereal from the cabinet along with a bowl and spoon. Vincent strolled in as I took a seat on a barstool.

I was expecting him to stop and ask me questions about myself that doesn't concern him but he passed me without so much of a glance pulled the brunette to him by the waist and placed a peck on her lips.

"Hey Kelly" Mason hollered behind me and slid into the barstool beside me.

"Whose she?" I asked trying to be nonchalant as I turned cereal into the bowl.

"She's Kelly, Vincent's girlfriend. I guess" he said typing away on his phone.

"You guess?" I asked taking a bite of my cereal as I tried to ignore the giggles coming from Kelly.

"Yeah they've been seeing each other for the past few months but Vincent won't spill" he said and the cereal instantly tasted like sand in my mouth.

"I'm no longer hungry" I said pushing my bowl to him,  slid off the stool and left the kitchen.

I went back into my room closed the door behind me. "Not my problem, not my problem" I muttered to myself as I climbed back into bed set my alarm to wake me an hour before my classes start closed my eyes and dozed off.

I walked back into the Kitchen fully dressed and refreshed for the day. I grabbed a granola bar from the counter filled my water bottle and exited the kitchen to find Mason pulling on his coat at the front door.

"Hey you heading to school?" I asked glancing at my phone time to see I have twenty minutes before my class starts.

"Yeah, do you want a lift?" He asked holding out the front door for me.

"Why thank you kind sir" I said and slipped out the house with him following closely behind.

Vincent's Audi comes into the drive way as we make our way down the steps and parks beside Mason's car. He steps out looking as hot as ever without Kelly around him.

"Where you going?" He asked and I ignored him. I thank Mason as he opened the passenger door for me assisted me in and closed the door gently.

Vincent walks up to him and says something to
him and Mason replies with something snarky cos Vincent clenches his jaw and Mason smirks.

I would love to see Mason rile Vincent up but I don't have the time for this right now so I leaned over to the driver seat and pressed the horn.

Vincent and Mason both glance at me and I tap my wrist to remind them I have somewhere to go.
