The Secret Weekend Lover | COMPLETED

Chapter 1

Here lately I feel like my life is just one big mess. All I do anymore is sit at home with my nose in a book, while everyone goes out.

My phone buzzes indicating a text. I wonder who that could be.

Unknown; Hey, I know you probably don't know who this is, but I just wanted to say you are beautiful and I can't stop smiling looking at your latest selfie on Instagram.

My heart races. No. Don't.

Me; Who is this?
Unknown; You wouldn't believe me if I said.
Me; Well prove it to me.
Unknown; How?
Me; Well telling me your name is a start.
Unknown; Blake Gibbs
Me; I believe you, but I feel like this is a prank.
Blake; It's not I promise. It's taken me 2 hours to talk myself into texting.
Me; It's just hard to believe it considering who your friends are.
Blake; How do I prove that I'm alone texting you?

I couldn't help but smile. The first real smile in almost a month.

Me; Facetime.

What seems like only a couple seconds my phone is ringing with his name on the screen.

My hands hesitantly hit accept.

His smile fills my screen immediately.

"Hey," is all he said. I try to hide my smile, "so are you not going to prove to me you're alone?"

His screen rotates to show me the rest of his room.

Nothing. Nobody. My heart starts racing. Is this for real?

"Okay, I believe you." I bite back my smile.

"So why me?" I ask.

Blake Gibbs is this popular baseball player also the richest kid at Chesterville High.

"Because I think you're cute," he smiles into the camera. His pearly white smile.

"Blake you can have any girl in school, and you know it."

"Maybe I just want you." I blush and look down. He laughs.

No heart. Don't do this.

"What are you doing tonight?" I shrug.

" Nothing, probably just going to watch Netflix, why?"

"Well I have the house to myself tonight, you want to come over and hang out?"

"Where're your friends?" I ask curiously as to why they aren't together. Usually, you don't see one without the others, especially out of school.

"Mom is at some charity event. Seth is going to a rich kids party in Hillcrest, Brandon is hanging with Scotty, and Luke is working.." He informed me.

"I would love to hang out, but I don't have a car at the moment and my mom isn't home."

"Give me 5 minutes to get ready."

My mouth becomes dry.

"You don't have too," I struggle to get out. But you want him too.

"I know, text me your address."

"Okay," I reply shyly. "See you soon." With that, he hangs up.

I put my phone to my beating heart and sigh.
