Chapter 3

3 - Change of Events

Anya's POV

Nola held onto my jaw, constricting me from speaking as I stared back at her expression.

It was so cold that it sent shivers through me.

I've gotta be dreaming, because this ain't it. There's no way this is really happening.

"Do you not hear yourself? You sound like a stalker." She laughed in a ridiculing manner.

"One can only put up with so much, and here is where I'm drawing the line. Do not get comfortable with me. We're not friends."

After the shock finally wore off, I moved out of her grip as I responded, "I was just—"

She yanked me by the front of my shirt. "I'm already irritated and you're beginning to annoy me. Please, do not annoy me." She muttered.

"I got it man, dang." I said as I raised both my hands. "Can you let go of me?"

She shoved me against my closet. "Get me another shirt. This one doesn't fit."

She tossed the T-shirt to me and I went into my closet, grabbing one of my oversized hoodies.

She put it on and I received no complaints.

"This is fucking bullshit." She grumbled underneath her breath as she lit the end of a blunt.

Did she just pull that out her ass?

I watched her as she exhaled smoke through her mouth, watching it slip between the space between her soft looking lips.

I wonder how soft they really feel...

"Can you stop looking at me? It's freaking me out." She said with her brows furrowed at me in disgust and my heart dropped.

I looked off to the side as I sat on my bed.

"Don't act like you know me in school." She said, and I gave her a questioning look.

"And stop watching my lives. Matter of fact, stop following me altogether." She said.

I frowned deeply at her. "Why..."

"It's weird niggas like you that like to boast when they get a little close to me, and I hate that shit to the depths of my soul. And I don't need that type of negativity in my life." She muttered.

"Got it?" She asked as she blew smoke into my face, and I immediately began to cough. 

Why does she dislike me so much?

"I'm leaving." Nola finalized and she moved to grab her phone off of my bed.

I felt a grave amount of sadness.

What if she never talks to me again?

I quickly stood up from my bed and grabbed her wrist as I yelled, "Wait!"

She gave me a look that made me immediately release my grip on her wrist and she sucked her teeth. "What is it?" She asked.

"Grant me a wish. Just do this one thing for me and I'll never bother you again." I promised, "I'll even unfollow you."

It hurt me to say it but something's gotta give.

She eyed me up then down. "It better not be some weird shit..." She grumbled.

"It's not." I said quickly, "I just want a hug."

She stared at me in complete silence. "Are you fucking with me?" She asked.

"I'm deadass." I stated, but I was nervous. "I know you've gotta bunch of fans but I've always dreamed if I met you... I'd want a hug."

Nola continued to stare at me for a long moment and it made me nervous to my stomach.

"A hug? That's it?" She asked finally and I nodded.

She let out a long sigh then came towards me.

There was this irrepressible feeling of warmth as she pulled me into her arms. She held me securely and nerves bursted all throughout my body.

Sexually and emotionally, everything's a mess.

It felt like I died, went to heaven, and came back.

I was freaking out deep down inside but outwardly you'd think I was composed.

Her warmth was comforting... her scent was bliss... everything's so perfect, I can't even breathe.

Oh, shit. I think I'm gonna die of happiness.

"Happy?" She questioned right beside my ear, causing me to let out a slight moan.

I immediately pulled away from her and bit my lip as my thighs clenched together. "M-My bad... I ain't mean to..." I spoke with my gaze down.

"Seriously?" I heard her say and my heart almost stopped beating.

"You sure all you want is a hug?"

I could feel my arousal dampening my boxers more and more as each second passed.

I bit my lip hard as shit. "No..." I answered honestly as I looked off to the side.

All of a sudden, she grabbed my face and kissed me. She slid in her tongue before I could even react, and we began to make out.

"Mmh!!" I moaned into the kiss as she grabbed my waist, and my back almost arched.

She broke the kiss after a minute had passed and my mind was all foggy. She pulled me with her towards my bed as I asked, "Wh-What you—!?"

She pushed me down onto my bed into a sitting position and I was in shock.

"If you're gonna make a wish, make a big one." Nola said as she hovered over me. She placed her knee in the space between my thighs. "I don't put my mouth on just anybody... so keep this our secret..."

To be continued...
