Caesar's Rose

Chapter 53

Oh no.

Rose, your loud mouth!

"I asked you a question, little wench." His voice gave me shivers. I shared a terrified look with Joey.

"Who were you calling a devil?"

My heart pounded faster as I struggled with words.

"Uh....no one."

"She was talking about her boyfriend," Joey retorted, claiming CJ's and Jane's attention.

I froze.

"Her boyfriend," CJ said, looking at me.

I dropped my gaze.

"Yes, her boyfriend. She was telling me, her best friend, how her boyfriend is a devil in bed."

I looked at Joey with widened eyes.

"I mean uh, how he kisses her like a devil in bed." Joey rephrased, nodding.

He just made it worse!

Joey, seriously?

CJ scoffed, making me look at him.

He is looking at me in a way I don't understand.

Is he scowling at me?

"Aw, that's nice." Jane spoke up, claiming my attention.

"You are a pretty girl. Your boyfriend is a lucky one." She said, smiling at me.

I smiled nervously at her.

"I know, right? He is indeed lucky. My friend is the prettiest blonde I have ever seen." Joey said, caressing my hair.

I moved my eyes nervously as I felt CJ's burning gaze on me.

"She is indeed," Jane said.

I smiled a little.

CJ scoffed, making me drop my gaze.

"Are you both insane?" He asked.

"Babe," Jane called.

"Fuck this shit," he said, walking past us angrily. He looks pissed.

"Babe," Jane called after him, but he kept walking away.

"Bye girls," Jane said to us as she ran after CJ. We turned around and stared at them as they walked.

"Wow. She is pretty nice. That's odd and a good thing too," Joey said.

"I know, right?"

"Yeah. And the fact that she acknowledges me as a girl is top-notch. I like her already" he said.

I nodded as what he said came into my head.

"Geez, Joey, why would you say that to him?" I asked, shaking my head as I turned to my locker.

"I had to think of something."

"And a devil in bed is the something?" I asked, taking out my notebook.

"Uh, yeah. What else is a good reason for calling someone a devil? It's either the person is a heartless beast or he is good in bed."

"Joey,"

"What? We are almost adults. We should know these things, you know," he said.

My cheeks heated up as I closed my locker.

"Some minors out there, even in this school, have done it even before the legal age," he said.

"I have not." I said, holding my notebook close to my chest and moving a strand of my hair behind my ear.
