My Naughty Lover ✔️

Chapter 28

"So, what are you gonna do about the study session with him?" Liam asks while we're sitting in the cafeteria.

"I don't know. If he needs help, I'll help him." I say, drinking my water.

"Hey guys, I'm here." Nico joins us as he takes a seat next to me.

"How was your class?" Liam asks him.

"Not bad." he answers as he fixes his collar. "By the way, don't you hang out with Scarlette's friends?" he asks Liam, who seems upset suddenly.

"Hmm, not really. I'm kind of an introvert." he smiles awkwardly and I look at him suspiciously. I know for sure something is wrong.

"Okay." he says and they get engaged into their own boy talk. Some stuff about football and ps4. I ignore them as I start thinking to myself.

Recently my mind isn't here. I keep thinking about him, specially about that box. It's been four days since he gave it to me. We haven't talked since. Everytime I look at him, he is enjoying with his friends. Two days ago, I walked past him and when he saw me, he started laughing and so did his friends. I don't know if they were laughing at me but it felt kind of painful.

Yesterday, I noticed a girl clinging to him and they seemed like they were in their own world. She giggled at everything he said and she was always hanging around his arms. This scenario is still fresh in my head. I don't know why but I'm having this weird feeling. It feels so painful to see him laughing and enjoying with someone else, specially a girl.

But again, why wouldn't he? The girl is a freaking goddess. She has perfect blond curl hair, beautiful blue eyes and a glowing face. She is tall like a model and perfect for him. I found out by Liam that she is the school's most popular girl and that she went on a trip to California and was absent at school. No wonder, I didn't saw her before. However, I can't seem to understand. Are they are thing together?

I feel sick looking at them but I also feel a pang of pain and jealousy. The more I want to stay away from him the more I feel myself missing him. What has gotten into me? I don't recognise myself anymore. Why does it hurt so much that he doesn't try to flirt with me now? I know it was annoying but I miss it. Why does it hurt so much that he isn't paying me any attention? Why??

"Lily??" Nico shouts.

"Yeah?" I say quickly facing him.

"You okay?" Liam joins.

"I'm fine, guys." I say awkwardly.

"So what do you say?" Nico asks.

"About what?" I ask.

"We are planning to go out this week-end. Liam said that he will take me to a studio." Nico says.

"Oh nice." I smile at them.

"You coming, right?" Liam raises an eyebrow at me.

"Oh hmm..okay I'll see." I giggle.

"Okay, see you later Lily. I need to meet the principal. Bye Liam." he waves at us before leaving.

"Hey, are you sure you're good?" Liam asks, looking worried.

"I am, why?" I feel bad for lying to him.

"Because you seem really in deep thoughts these days. You don't really talk much." he says, with a small frown on his face.

"No..I'm fine." I smile.

"Talk to me, okay?"

"Yes." I say.
