I saw him. I saw Hunter Jones. We were walking home. Autumn and Jess were walking in the front while Norma and I walked a few feet behind them. I heard a familiar voice as I walked past an alley, I stopped and turned to see Tyler Vincent was having a deep conversation with someone. I couldn't see clearly who since his back was on me. I slid my gaze to a figure who was leaning against the wall and immediately recognized him.
"Mey, what's wrong?" asked Norma who was standing beside me and noticed that I've stopped walking.
"Isn't that Tyler Vincent?" I nudged my head towards the two guys, knowing if I pointed my finger directly at them, they'd notice.
Norma narrowed her eyes to help her see clearly. "Yeah. I think so. And I think that's the car Tyler was using to drive Autumn to school this morning."
I froze. "Do you think he was the one behind the accident? Do you think he faked it?" Autumn didn't understand cars, it was possible that Tyler was just acting as if the brake line was cut while in fact, there was nothing wrong with the car.
Norma shrugged. "I really don't know, Mey."
I let out a deep sigh. "But I hope he's not the bad guy. I think Autumn is falling in love with him."
"We don't know for sure," Norma paused and watched the guys carefully. "Maybe we shouldn't tell her about this unless we're sure."
We heard footsteps and in seconds Jess and Autumn were standing beside us. "Hey, why did you guys stop?" asked Jess.
I was about to open my mouth when Norma suddenly nudged me, reminding me that I couldn't tell them until we had proof.
"Girls, what is it?" Autumn crossed her arms and tilted her head to one side. "Spill the beans. Come on, let it out."
Norma scoffed. "No biggie. Mey thought she saw her new boyfie just now." She pointed her head to the dimmed alley.
"Hunter Jones is not my boyfriend!" I shot her daggers.
"Hunter?" Autumn lifted her brows, looking curious and clueless at the same time. "Who's Hunter?"
Jess nudged me while shaking her head. "Damn, Mey! I didn't know you have a boyfriend and he's a Hunter."
"Hunter is not my boyfriend! He's just some guy I met." I cleared my throat and told myself not to blush.
"Anyway," Norma looked at Autumn for a brief second then slid her gaze to Jess, "where are we going next? Are we gonna crash at Autumn's place?"
"Jess said we should try this Poirot's Café." Autumn winked and faked a cough. "Colton's working there." Another fake cough followed.
"We don't know that yet." Jess rolled her eyes and pulled out her phone.
I looked back at the alley but the black Jeep was gone. "Hey, Mey, what's wrong?" asked Autumn, causing me to jump.
"Oh, nothing. I just thought I saw something," I answered curtly.
"Saw what?" She took a few steps closer and scanned the alley. I crossed my fingers, hoping she wouldn't see Ty's car. Her phone blipped and took her attention away.
"Guess who's working tonight?" said Jess, playing her phone and wiggling her brows. She took Autumn by her arm and led us into the cafe by the alley.
I glanced at the alley one more time and nodded to myself as I made up my mind. I hated to keep things from my friends but I had to do whatever it took to protect them. Even if that required me to play nice and squeeze the information out of the charming, dangerously good-looking Hunter Jones.
It was an ambush. Blake was standing there all by himself when we approached him but then suddenly there were two more guys who came out of nowhere and pushed us forward from behind. The fight was inevitable. I threw as many punches and as many kicks as I could to the two bulky guys while Ty was onto Blake.After what felt like an hour or two, we've managed to knock all three of them. Ty was holding Blake by his collar, looking down at the bruised football player, he said, "If you dare to do anything ever again, you'll face something worse than what you got tonight." Ty shoved him and walked away.He shoved Blake away and turned to me. "You okay, man?""Yeah," I brushed the blood off my lips with the back of my sleeves. "Son of a bitch, who knew he would bring companies."
It was harder than I thought. I kept thinking about my plan from the first period until the last one of the day. I made a list of things about why I had no choice but to abort this plan:1. I didn't have his phone number. Maybe I should've just given my phone number instead of being difficult and made him read tons of books.2. I didn't know where he liked to hang out or the school he was in. Believe it or not, our conversation at the party had never touched that subject because he always wanted to talk about me, my interest, and my dream. And the last conversation when he was here a few days ago was far too brief.3. The only thing I could get his phone number and find out more about him was if I talked to Tyler Vincent and I didn't want to risk exposure. If Tyler really was Villain X, h
Her smile was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my entire life. She smiled and it seemed to me that the whole world became brighter, merrier, happier. When she smiled, her whole face shone and she looked like an angel.I've never attracted to someone simply because of their smile. Usually, it was their sexy body hidden underneath layers of clothes, their air of confidence showed in their every move, or perhaps the chase, the feeling when someone turned you down and that made you want them even more.With Mey, it wasn't any of that. She wore more layers of clothes than any girl I knew. And I could tell just by the way she walked that she was insecure; her shoulders were hunched over as if she was hiding something. Her footsteps were light and timid. I could count how many times she looked me in the eye when we were talking. It ma
⚯͛ Sometimes you just want a tight hug from the right person. ⚯͛M E Y W A N G | The Asian PotterheadI didn't know what to say. It was almost like he spoke a different language for a moment. Did I feel uncomfortable? Maybe a little. Did he make my heart beat faster? YES. I could explain why he made me feel uncomfortable; first, he thought I liked Tyler and second, he asked me whether I've skipped class and made out before. These personal things made me feel uncomfortable. However, I couldn't find any logical explanation for my rapid heart rate.I cleared my throat. "So, how was the book?" I quickly switched t
Hunter Jones | The Lovestruck Bad BoyIt was impossible to keep my mouth shut. I wished I didn't simply say what was on my mind, maybe I should buy a dog muzzle to restrain myself from making fool of myself by being Shakespeare's great-great GREAT grandson."How's Ty? Did he get the car repaired?" asked her casually. Ty, again.But at least it was a better topic since there was no way I'd say something silly about this one. "Yeah, he didn't get hurt actually," I chuckled as I remembered his bruises from the fight with Blake last night. "At least not from the car accident," I added. "He got a new brake line and managed to score a good deal for mend the scratch on the car. Lucky cos Lucas would kill him if his baby still wounded."
Hunter Jones | The Lovestruck Bad BoyI went back with two cups, one on each hand. She looked worried. She clasped her hands tightly in her lap as if she tried to stop them from shaking. I had no idea what to do to make her feel better, which frustrated me even more. "Mey, are you okay?"She bit her bottom lip and looked up. Her big eyes widening in fear answered my question. I put the cups down and took the seat beside her. "You're going to be alright. Don't worry about it. You have nothing to be scared of.""How can you be so sure?" she asked softly.I took a deep breath. "Because I will ensure it," I gave her a brief nod.She frowned. "How? You don't even go to my scho
⚯͛ I will not be anyone's half time, down time, spare time, or some time. So don't waste my time. ⚯͛M E Y W A N G | The Asian PotterheadI followed Hunter carefully, making sure that I did not look noticeable. He fished out his phone then held it close to his ear. After a few seconds, it seemed that the connection had been made."Dude, I need you to tell me something. Is Mey on the list?"I nearly gasped when I heard him mention my name. It did not take long before I could figure out what list he was referring to because the next minute Hunter had revealed it himself.
Love is many things but it is never deceitful. Nothing toxic comes out of genuine love. Remember that. — Unknown.H U N T E R J O N E S | The Lovestruck Bad BoyIt was barely three P.M. and I was hanging at Le Shack, minding my own business. My mind recalled what had happened yesterday afternoon with me and it brought a smile to my face. I could still remember the warmth of her body in my embrace. She had a small, petite body unlike my big and tall figure yet hers fitted mine perfectly. It was as if we were meant to be.Fuck! I rubbed my face to refrain myself from blushing. I had never been someone who would believe in fate or t
