Him

Chapter 9

Cheryl's POV

We get back home and I head straight into my bedroom  with the plastic shopping bags containing my new uniform in my hands. Immediately as I step inside my room, I throw my uniform recklessly in the corner of my room and pull out my laptop from my drawer to try and Skype Brandon and talk to him about this whole Wesley thing. I have always found it easier to talk to him about these types of situations because he gave the best advices with no judgment or mean comments whatsoever.

Just as I am about to press his contact, I feel a buzz from my phone.

*Please come over to the mansion ASAP. I need advice. Girl stuff* it's Skyla.

She sends little emojis of begging hands. I just chuckle. I wonder what the problem is but I can also use this to my advantage to see Wes. Just to check how he has been doing. And maybe if he missed me a little. I smile just thinking about him. I quickly rush to my mirror and run my fingers in my hair just to give it some bit of waves. I pull it all on my front shoulder and smile at my reflection. I slip on a simple necklace just to give my plain look a little presence. I apply my cherry lip gloss and wear my earrings.

I wear some perfume and find myself wiping my teeth with my finger as if I am polishing them. I put on my baby pink converse sneakers on and adjust my bra. I smile proudly at my reflection.

'Well that is too much pamper for just staying in the house. Where are you off to?' I spill my breath and place my hand on my chest as I feel my heart beat hard.

'Vanessa! Don't you know how to knock? And what's with you creeping up on me, you scared me!' she laughs hard. She always enjoyed seeing me jolt from a very young age.

' So where are you off to? ' she asks now leaning on the door frame.

' Sky called and asked if I can come see her. Apparently it's urgent "girl" stuff ' I  put imaginary quotes with my fingers on the word girl.

'You going to see him aren't you?' she asks, blushing.

'What? No! I am honestly going to see a friend. Wes was just being kind yesterday to help calm me down and welcome me to the area, nothing much' I lie and grab my phone from my bed and slide it into my pockets.

'Wow Skyla must be really special for you to make such an effort on your appearance. Something I always have to force you to do but you do voluntarily when it comes to her' she says sarcastically and dramatically throws jazz hands in the air.

I innocently roll my eyes and she laughs as I just walk past her. The more Nessa knows about any crush or feeling I have towards someone, the more she torments me about it until I admit it to her.

...

I arrive at the Stones mansion and the security guard let's me in. I walk along the driveway all the way to the porch. I ring the doorbell on the large maroon door in front of me and take a deep breath.

The door opens up abruptly and the physique in front of me takes my breath away. I stare at it with bold, intrigued eyes as I slowly run my eyes to scan the body from bottom to top. This person is wearing grey sweatpants and has his hands in the pockets.
