My Naughty Lover ✔️

Chapter 12

(Scarlette's POV)

Today I woke up at 7 o' clock and dressed for school. Katrine gave me a lift so I didn't have to walk. Now I'm currently in the English class sitting with Liam. Since I stepped in school, my eyes have been searching everywhere for the that person only but I felt disappointed as he wasn't here.

"You okay, Scarl?" Liam asks while looking at me worriedly.

"Yes, I'm good." I try to fake a smile.

"I don't think so. You know you can always talk to me, right?" he says.

"Yes. I know Liam, thank you. I'm just feeling a bit gloomy." I tell him.

"Why is that?" he asks.

"Well, Katrine and the others invited me to go to a party yesterday. I went with them but then there was a creep who was trying to force himself on me. However, Zac came there and saved me." I say awkwardly.

" So why are you sad?" he asks looking at me with a blank face.

"The thing is, Zac was a bit drunk and said a few things to me afterwards. He even leaned in to kiss me but then he walked away without saying a word." I say while rubbing my arms nervously.

He observes me for a while and seems a bit lost in his thoughts. Finally he speaks,

"Hmmm, Scarlette, I hope you know what you're doing." he says.

"What do you mean, Liam?" I ask.

"Well, he is a womanizer. You're a good girl Scarlette. I don't want you to be heartbroken. I know him very well." Liam says.

"Okay." I say somewhat hurt. I felt bad when Liam said he is a womanizer. Was this the reason he was flirting with me? God!! So many mixed signals.

Now I'm currently in the cafeteria with Liam.

"Hey Liam, Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah?"

"Were you and Zac friends?" I ask him.

"Not really." he answers."We have a past together, Scarlette. He did something that I can never forgive him." Liam says in a tone that I have never heard him used before. He looks deceived, angry and hurt. His face is pale and he breathes deeply.

"Oh..." is all I can say. I just place my hand on his and squeeze it. He appreciates the gesture and squeezes back.

"I hope you are okay." i tell him.

"Yeah, thanks Scarlette." he smiles.

After that we head into our respective classes and soon the day just passes by in a blink of eye and I head home. I got Liam's number, he told me to text him if I was not fine. I was happy that I had Liam. He was such a good and an understanding friend. But, I wonder what happened between these two. What past was Liam referring to. I should text him.

Me~
Hey Liam :-), it's Scarlette.

Liam~
Hey cutie ^_^

Me~
I just wanted to tell you that i'm here for you too.

Liam~
I know silly :P
Anyways talk to you later. Gtg bye.

Me~
Bye.

I was about to keep my phone on the table when i got another text. I thought it was Liam but it was from an unknown number.

Unknown number~
Hey sweetheart. Can we talk?

Sweetheart?? There's only one person who calls me that and it's him.

Me~
Who are you?

Unknown number~
Someone who quite messed up yesterday.

Me~
Is it you, Zac?

Unknown number~
Wow you're more intelligent than you look, sweetheart ;-).

My heart starts racing. How did he get my number?? And what does he want to talk about? I feel nervous all of a sudden as a chill run down my spine.

Me~
How did you get my number??

Unknown number~
I have my sources :-P
Please give me a chance to explain myself.

Me~
Okay. I'm going to take a shower. I'll call you later.

Unknown number~
Can you send pic? *-*
Haha okay.

Is he for real?? I facepalm myself. I'm not gonna send him any pic. Why the hell does he want a pic anyway?? I ignore his text and head straight into the bathroom. This boy has no limits when it comes to flirting. And how did he get my number?? I wonder what he wants to talk about. I know that it has something to do with yesterday though. I better call him later to find out.
