Game on Sister!!

Chapter 5 - The Unexpected Getaway

Jo

It had been two days since our Operation Chuck Austen. And as we predicted, it was an epic success! The look on Chuck’s face when those girls burst into the door and ganged up on him was priceless! He looked defeated. I felt sorry for him because one girl actually kicked him on his crotch. But he had it coming anyway.

Ever since that night, Meg and I had been avoiding Chuck at all cost. Who knows what he’d do to us. We even got up early in the morning and took off earlier than usual. And when the night came, we would just lock ourselves in our room. That was the only safe place in the house. At least until Chuck got over what had happened. Although it might took quite awhile.

I sighed in relief when Mr. Greene dismissed the class. I couldn’t even concentrate because of the insecurity feeling. Now don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of Chuck. I’m just cautious of what he might do because I know what he’s capable of. There’s a different in there.

I walked out of the class with Becky. She was complaining about how the class took forever, as usual. She hated economy and yet she took this Business major. Her brain would remain a mystery to me.

“So anyway, do you wanna go to the Bellini’s now? I’m hungry; I didn’t have my breakfast this morning. And I really want Italian right now. And they have the best fettuccini ever! Oh not to mention…”

“Becks, geez!” I cut her rambling off. Seriously this girl could talk on and on about random things. “Yes, we can go to the Bellini’s now. I’m hungry too. Ever since yesterday I haven’t slept well and have been skipping breakfast. This whole Chuck thing started to wear me off.” I sighed tiredly.

“I’m sorry about that.” Becky smiled apologetically at me. “But I have to give you props though. And Meg of course. You guys are sneaky evil bitches.” She said with a grin on her face.

“That we are.” I replied, wearing the smug grin. But it quickly wiped out as soon as I heard the all too familiar voice calling my name. By the sound of it, that guy sounded really pissed.

“JOANNA AUSTEN! GET YOUR FUCKING ASS HERE RIGHT NOW!” He all but growled at me.

I turned around and saw my brother was speed walking toward me, but then he started running. Oh shit! I’m in deep trouble right now. But it wasn’t like I was going to do what he said anyway. Now that would be a suicide.

So I started running away from my brother, who was coming closer. It wasn’t fair. He was a football star in high school. He could run for miles, he could easily beat me. And I was in my Christian Louboutin pumps today. It made it even harder to run. I turned my head to see if he was any closer. Wrong move. Because right as I turned my head, I hit a wall. Hard. It made me stumbled back and almost fell flat on my behind. If it wasn’t for the hands that caught me… oh wait, walls don’t have hands.

I looked up to see who these hands belonged to. To say that I was surprised was an understatement! It was Blake. Yes, the same Blake who helped me at the library few days ago. The same guy who I was so determined to know about.

He looked down at me and frowned slightly. But then a side smile lit up his face. Made his dimple visible. Gosh, can’t this guy got any cuter or hotter than this? Normally, a guy is either cute or hot. Never both. But I guess there’s always an exception. I noticed how his strong muscle flexed underneath the black leather jacket that he was wearing. I took in his attire; he was wearing a black cotton t-shirt covered with black leather jacket, a pair of jeans and black boots. Hmm, someone’s learned fashion 101 obviously.

“Are you okay?” He asked, still had his hands on either side of my arms.

“Yes, I-” I was cut off by Chuck’s angry voice. He sounded closer now.
