Quinnel.Anyone has any idea why Coaches prefer calling their players by their last name?Our Coach was no exception. Rolling my eyes, I walked to him.I guess I was somehow slightly in the wrong. I left practice to talk to Heaven but the talk yielded some alone time with her every weekend.At least until she can play it by herself."Ashford!" I heard again and I groaned internally."As punishment for your little daydreaming and abandoning practice, Take 5 laps round the court." "I'm sorry?" I said uncertain of what I just heard."You heard me! Now go!" "Yes sir." I replied and glanced at Heaven who grinned at me before she laughing.I'm doing this because of her! "Son, you're wasting time! I need your butt on the court!"If you need my fine behind on the court, can I skip the laps then?I immediately picked up the race and in no time, I was done.I joined them in practice to see that Ashley had joined Heaven but her face looked damp. I raised a brow at that but before Coach could
Navaeh.Of course I knew my hands was still entwined with Quinnel's own but I didn't want to pull away. I loved the feeling of his hands wrapped around mine. It was heavenly and warm. Heaven.I loved when he called me that which was basically every time but it just rolls off his tongue in a sexy way.Am I crazy to think Quinnel was a sexy person? Yeah I think I am.Do I want to stop it? No, I don't.I grinned and ate the pasta in front of me. Quinnel had grumpily eaten half of the pasta with a grim face while I ate one slice of pizza.I already gave him the one slice of pizza left and he gave me the half eaten plate of pasta."Oops! My fork fell." Ashley said and she ducked her head down under the table.She raised her head back up and gave me a secretive wink. I raised a brow at her and when I opened my mouth to talk, the bell rang indicating the end of lunch.Also, indicating something else. End of holding Quinnel's hand! Oh no! Come on, just a few more minutes?"What do you guys
Navaeh."So, what do you guys think? Should I go for the trip or stay at home with you guys?" I asked both sisters and they looked at me like I had suddenly grown three horns."What?" I asked beating the egg."Why won't you go on the trip? I mean, this trip is only for the last year's students right?" Aerin asked and I nodded my head taking the salt shaker off the drawer."So there wasn't one when you were in 11 grade? Or 10th grade?" Aelin continued.I actually don't see where this whole question and answer tug is going but I nodded my head nonetheless."So the only one that you'll ever get to go on in High School, the one and only... You're planning on staying out?!""You're planning on staying out?!" They yelled the end together and I jumped almost knocking the pan on the gas cooker over.We decided to fry eggs and eat it with bread since I bought bread and egg among many other things from the supermarket. The oil was already in the pan and I was beating the five eggs presently i
Quinnel's POV"Jake? Oh come on!" I heard beside me and I looked down to Heaven who was staring wide eyed at the door.I looked up to see the guy waving at her with a smile tugging on his lips. I raised a brow at this.Did they know each other?"Is he someone you know?" I asked her and she nodded her absentmindedly.I saw her eyes was still trained on the new guy that was now making his way here.I frowned at him when I saw him wink at Heaven before he stopped in front of us."Hi there." He greeted and Heaven blinked at him before snorting."What are you doing here? And most importantly, why are you in that uniform?" She asked and he grinned before moving his brow up and down."I attend your school now, Navaeh." "No! How did you know my name?" "I have my ways." He replied his grin broader and his eyes twinkling with delight.Who is this guy?"Wizard." Heaven muttered and he pouted."Don't worry... I'll teach you a few tricks if you're that jealous." He said and she scoffed at him tu
A/N; It's two chapters update. So if you haven't read Chapter 19, please go back to read Chapter 18. Thank you for reading Love and Secrets.Author's POV"Aw, are you okay?" Jake asked with a smile."This is not funny. But what was I to expect?" She grumbled and took her sneakers to wear it.What was the point of getting up again? She has already fallen on the hard floor, her butt was aching so why get up before she wore her sneakers?"Come on." He added stretching his arm to her and she eyed it suspiciously. She looked up at his face her eyes squinted as he was standing right beside the sun.She looked back down and tied the lace of her sneakers. Once it was done, she looked back up to see his hand was still stretched to her.Was he serious? What fool would take his hand after he had just offered her help only to drop her a few seconds later?Jake understand the look in her eyes and he rolled his eyes. Everyone would think that."I'm not going to drop you again. That was payback. So
"What are you doing?", Navaeh asked blinking at Quinnel who was facing her with his lips pluckered and his eyes shut.That made Quinnel open his honey coloured eyes to stare back at her. He then looked down at his hand to see he was still sitting in his seat and her in hers. Which meant, they didn't kiss. Nothing happened. Their bodies didn't attract to each other like a magnet. And he was just imagining everything?!"Quinnel, are you okay?""Huh?", He asked when he saw her mouth moved."I said are you okay? You're looking like you're sick or something", She repeated."Oh, I'm fine. Just a little bit dazed. Uhh, I think it's a good idea if we go back to class before the twins start to look for us", He said and without waiting for an answer, he stood up and walked away."Hey, wait up for me!", She yelled after him and pushed her body up from the chair and ran after him.Quinnel slowed his pace and they walked side by side into the school.•••"Hold on, what are you even supposed to pa
"You guys are matching", Quinnel said pointing at Zaire and Ashley who looked at each other like they didn't know they were matching or didn't leave the same house. Then they turned to Quinnel and grinned at him. Navaeh chuckled and took a sip of her warm coffee. "You got coffee?", She asked before she could even bring the Starbucks cup down from her mouth. "Uhh, yeah. Quin got it for me", Navaeh drawled out and both Ashley and Zaire eyes turned to Quinnel who sipped away looking elsewhere like he didn't know two expectant eyes were waiting for him. Ashley then stepped back and looked at them grinning. She pulled out her phone and took a shot before the two of them knew what was happening. She liked they way they were both standing and holding a Starbucks coffee. They looked like a couple that she knew they would be. Quinnel still had coffee in his mouth as he held the cup close his lips while Navaeh played with the black cover of the Starbucks coffee with a smile on her face. "
"Coach! I need to use the bathroom!" "Pee in a bottle or something.""In the bus?!""She's a girl.""Just stop the damned bus!""We need to move our limbs!""Guys, I can't feel my legs!""We've been going for hours! We're tired!""Stop the bus!""Stop the bus!""Stop the bus!""Alright alright then. We're taking Five!" After traveling for five hours in the bus, the students were tired, hungry and tired!The coach who was the one following them, didn't see anything to be tired about. He saw it in the perspective that the only person that had the right to complain was the driver."Oh finally!" Everyone yelled in frustration.The coach rolled his eyes at the students who he thought as lazy people. Once the bus stopped and the door was opened, everyone immediately walked out to stretch their body."Hey, Quin... The bus stopped." Navaeh said shaking the guy that had fallen asleep on her shoulder."Hm? Five more minutes.""By then, the bus would be gone." "Dude, get the fuck up. At least
