Chapter 18

*Jack POV*

"Hey babe.." I answered the phone

"Jack my boo" Ella answered "are you free? I need to talk to you"

"Yea sure.."

"Meet me at my house right now"

"Well..I kindda can't right now"

"You just said yea sure" repeating what I said earlier

"I know I know..but right now is a very bad timing"

"Ughhhhhh" she said and hung up.

Omg...girls today, always want what they want....what a spoiled kid. What should I do now? Erika's sleeping... hmmm... I felt kinda bad lying to her. I still love her but she'd fallen for my trap and that's good. I can't tell her I'm dating Ella who is not my cousin because Erika would blow up and blah blah..ya know typical girls.

I stood up and took a shower and rest in the tub.

*Erika's POV*

I opened my eyes and shut it as soon as the sunlight reaches it.

Where am I? Wait... This is Jack's room and all I could remember was that I heard a phone ringing and Jack said ''hey babe.''

Omg no...its really is true..Josh was right... He's a player. I quickly got up and fixed my hair. I look around for any sign of Jack but he's nowhere to be found so I quickly run to the door and turn the knob....

SHIT! It's locked...I was stuttering and panicking. What to do, what to do?

I heard the toilet door opens so I quickly got back to the bed and lied myself down in the position I was in before.

It was a complete silence for about 4 minutes until he started to open his wardrobe to find something to wear. Then it was silence again.

Suddenly he touches my forehead and I slowly wakes up ;pretending I had just woken up.

"Jack-" I stopped because what I was seeing was breath taking. He wasn't wearing any shirt but he got his sweatpants on. With his damp hair he tried to comb it back with his fingers and looked at me.

"You're awake" he gasped and starred at me as if I did something wrong.

"Jack I should be going home now" I got up and avoid his eye contact even thought it was attractive.

He hold me back and wrapped his arm around my waist and I was still avoiding his eye contact but he took his finger and made my face look directly in front of him.

We starred deeply into each others eyes. Oh no..this is not happening again. Why is he so attractive..well probably he's a playboy. Omg!! What to do?!

"You should be lucky that you're with me and not with some other lame boys..because you should know that there's a lot of players in out school and Harry is one of them and I think Josh-" I hushed him and placed my finger on his lips.

"Josh isn't like that...I know him"

"Well..trust me he isn't the good one"

"We all know you're not the good one too" I accidentally slipped that out from my mouth hoping he haven't heard it.

"Aha.." He let out a playful laugh

"What's so funny?"

"You see...every girl are attracted to pretty boys..for example me. And well...they would do whatever they can to get them. As for you" he stopped and tapped on my nose "you should be lucky that I declared you as mine...not anyone else..that's right mine" he said and looked away.

I let out a deep breath.

"Listen..its your own choice...you can either be mine or be someone else's"

"How can I trust you!" I burst out

"Are you blaming me now? Am I the bad one now? Huh? Huh? All this time we spent together? You still don't believe me? The first time we met? We fell so badly in love with each other"

"I'm not the only one am I?"

"What do you mean? He asked as if he haven't knew.

"Before I fell asleep..someone called you and you replied with hey babe"

"Owh! So it's fair for you to go and clinging around another boy while I can't? Is this how you want to play then?"

The door was suddenly knocked by his mum "is everything ok?" She asked.

"Yea..yea..were good" Jack replied.

As we listen for his mum footstep to fade away I looked at him in disappointment.

He looked at me with this you-still-don't-believe-me face. "I've slept with you, we kissed, we had sex for god sake! what else do you want me to prove my love to you"

I looked down on my feet "I got to go"

He quickly stood in front of the door. "I still love you Erika...I promise I do. I swear from the tip of my toe to the top of my hair, I swear to god I love you." He emphasize each and every word slowly.

"Then break up with whoever it was that you called babe"

"Fine.. Fine!" He took out his phone and dialed Ella's number.

"It was Ella!" I gasped.

"Hush" he said.

He turn the phone onto a speaker so I could listen too.

She finally answers the phone "Heeyyy" she said in a slow flirty voice.

"Listen Ella...its not you,its me. We're breaking up" Jack said

"Sorry what?" She asked as if she haven't heard it right

I snatched the phone off Jack "STAY AWAY FROM MY BOY OR YOU'RE DEAD!"

"Well well..if it isn't the one and only Miss Erika" she giggled "what are you going to do about it? Call the cops?"

"Hey hey..you heard Erika and you heard me. We're over!" Jack said snatching the phone back.

"Fine whatever. But just remember, she's not a keeper so don't come crying back to me ok sweetie.She's just a miss-nobody anyways."

"Don't call her that and don't ever call me again!" Jack said in disbelief and ended the call "happy?" He asked.

"Thank you" I said and hugged him.

He then reached for the keys on the table and unlock the door. "See you at six" he said.

"See ya-" I said and left him with a kiss on the lips.

I went back home and Josh was nowhere to be found so I lock the door and lied down on the sofa. Then I realized that there's a note on the table, which was written in big bold letters.

SEE YOU AT SIX
-JOSHUA

Josh left the note taped onto a dress. I picked it up and planted in on my body. It's for Rachel's party? And he wants me to wear this?

It was ridiculously short and tight AND IT EVEN SHOWS MY BOOBS!

Oh god...I lied back on the sofa.
