The One (6)

The first thing that popped into my mind after Louise told me the news was "That jerk."

She said she saw Damien flirting with this Andy-whatever-the-hell-her-name-is.

Shamless bitch. Right in the middle of the biology lab. Flirting with Damien.

I growled in frustration. I knew Damien wouldn't stay loyal to my cousin. The day he'd settle down would be the day pigs fly.

I looked over at Louise, who was staring at the ground with a solemn expression in her eyes. I knew what she was thinking. Damien dumped her for someone else too.

I put my arm around her, sighing.

"Let's tell her," mumbled Louise.

My head shot up so fast, I could hear a crack.

"You want me to tell Felicia about you and Damien?" I stared at her, shocked.

"Yeah," she whispered, burying her head in her hands.

"Louise, are you su - " I was interrupted by Louise.

"Yes, I'm sure," she said. I sighed. She could be as stubborn as Felicia sometimes.

I nodded my head reluctantly.

"Alright."

~Felicia~

I was so pissed at Steve. Not even the twins could cheer me up. I was in my room, lying on my bed and staring up into the ceiling. I refused to look at the next room. I hate that window so much now.

I heard a knock. I knew it was Steve. I ignored him and continued staring at the ceiling, fuming silently. I heard another knock. I pretended I didn't hear it.

I got up from my bed and went to my desk to start on my homework. It was half past nine and I desperately wanted to sleep. I took my earpiece and shoved it into my ear, so that I wouldn't have to listen to Steve's endless knocking while doing my homework.

Two and a half hours later, around midnight, I finished all my homework. I gently removed my earpiece and looked at Steve.

He was lying on his bed, eyes shut. He was sleeping? I expected him to be more of a night owl. Wait. Oh my gosh. Who goes to sleep without a shirt?! Isn't he cold at all?

I tiptoed into his room, careful not to wake him up. I started looking around for my book. I'm sure he had hidden it somewhere. As I passed by his bed, I suddenly felt a pair of hands grab my waist and pull me to the bed.

I landed on the bed with a huge thump. I turned to see a pair of emerald eyes gazing intently at me. I mentally cursed myself. How could I be so stupid?

"Well, if it isn't a surprise," he spoke.

"I came back for my book," I said, refusing to look at him or his body.

"You're really horrible, Felicia," I blushed at the way he said my name. However, he couldn't see it because it was too dark.

I remained silent and tried to get off his bed. Shit, he was too strong. He took my hands and pinned me down, hovering above me.

"I'll return your book on three conditions," his deep and sexy voice was so intoxicating.

"What makes you think I'll agree to them?" I replied coldly

"Because I have your book," I knew he was smirking even though I couldn't see his face clearly.

"Firstly, you'll have to explain to me what you said about me asking you on a date," I smirked at that.
