Crave Chapter 18: Jaylee
"Leave me, right here." I stopped the taxicab a few minutes away from home.As the taxicab goes off, I survey the surroundings to see if anyone is watching, and I hide my new outfit between shrubs.As I walk away, I reach for my phone, calling my aunt.She answers."My mom's going to call you in the next few minutes; please make sure to answer your phone," I say quickly."Okay," she responded."Also, remember to play along with my plan that I'll be staying at your house tonight.""No problem."The phone call ends, and I'm already at home.I stand at the door for a while before going inside to get myself in a bad mood so my plan can go smoothly.Mom's coming from the kitchen; she has a cup of her favorite tea, chamomile, as I enter.Right after giving her an angry look, I slammed the door.By the aching noise, her hand goes to the temple."I'm having a terrible headache, and I cannot deal with you right now," Mom says."I don't care. And I'm going to stay at Aunt's house tonight, since
Crave Chapter 19: Jaylee
When aunt comes into the spare room, I'm styling my hair in a sleek ponytail with a tendril. I'm already wearing the pink dress I faked I'd be wearing, as well as pink lip gloss. I planned to wear the silver eyeshadow as soon as I was away from her. "You look amazing," she says. Barefooted, I get up from the mirror. "Thanks." "Aunt, can you lend me the white heels, I love?" As if I'm going to wear them, I ask. She goes off and returns with them, and while I'm putting them on, she gives me a long lecture about not consuming alcoholic beverages at the party and not having premarital sex. I side-eyed her on premarital sex, and she giggled, ashamed. Mom lost her virginity when she married my dad, and my aunt lost her before getting married. "Just don't have sex until you're old enough," she warns. "I'm not going there to have sex," I say. "Anyway, if a guy is interested in me and I want to, we could easily do it in the bathroom stall at school or at the back of the school, just
Crave Chapter 20: Jaylee
The bag I'd carry was at the back of the shrub. When the party is over, I will collect it."What's your name?" A security guard asks as I arrive at the gate."Jaylee," I say.He checks the list, and soon he's going to open the gate. As I'm walking behind him, I see him eyeing me. I smirk that the outfit's working.My mouth falls open at the sight of Amber's white mansion. It's beautiful, and an outdoor water fountain is right in front of it. I halt for a while, admiring its beauty, and soon I'm making my way to the door.Nervously, I take a deep breath and exhale before knocking on the door. The door opens, and I'm greeted with blaring music along with a maid attired in a black and white uniform.She allows me to enter, knowing that I'm here for the party. As I did, I noticed the huge hallway.There's a huge portrait of Amber and her parents. She looked happy as they both stood by her side. I've never seen Amber smile that way before. It looks genuine instead of bogus."Please follow
Crave Chapter 21: Jaylee
I'm watching Lucas and Amber talk, dying to know what they're discussing. If Amber gets Nate and Sophia together, dressing in these stripper clothes would be all for nothing. Eager to have Nate, Sophia asks, "Why is Amber talking to Lucas instead of Nate?" "Relax," says Sookie to Sophia. "Don't you trust in Amber's abilities to get you both together?" I look at Sophia, and gradually, I see her becoming unworried. Amber is not only an excellent cheerleader; she's also clever and knows how to get whatever she wants by manipulating anyone. Behind her back, they didn't call her the devil blond for nothing. She's as trickier as the devil. "They're walking away now. Why are they walking away? To leave some desperate girl to steal my man and, at worst, someone who doesn't suit him. I should be his girlfriend at Effney High." In one squeeze, Sophia crushes the cup in her hand. She's now huffing and puffing. "Oh my gosh, she's having a meltdown. "Help me get her to a seat," Sookie says,

"Everyone, get back to what you were doing, or leave my party if you're going to stand there and stare at my squad member like a complete idiot!" Amber grabs the DJ microphone and starts yelling into it. Everyone immediately obeys, turning their attention away from me. "And if I ever see a video of Jaylee circulating, remember that I'm filthy rich and have the best lawyer out there." "I promise I'll track that person down and sue him or her so badly that they wish they were never born." Amber puts down the DJ microphone and walks off the stage. "Thank you for protecting her, Nate. You're a true gentleman," Amber tells Nate. "No problem," says Nate. Amber then takes my hand, pulling me away from him. "Thank you," I quickly say to Nate before I get away from him. He nods. Amber let go of my hand when we were inside and went to the elevator. "Where are we going?" in a tearful voice, I ask. "To sort out this issue between you and Sophia." "I don't want to." I'm going from the e

Nate opens his car door, allowing me to enter, and as I do, I spot Sophia and Sookie at the front door watching me.They followed us."You floozie," Sookie says with a folded arm, while Sophia glares at me.I look away as the car drives off.The security guard let us out."Stop here," I tell Nate, as he's about to drive past my hidden clothes."Give me a minute." I dashed from the car to the shrubs' backs."Where are you going?" Nate worries."Just give me a few minutes; I just have to do something!" I yell as I'm running."Do you need to throw up?" Nate's eager to know."No!" I yell again as I quickly change into the previous outfit I came in.Nate's gaze fixed on me as I returned."Thank you for waiting," I'm back in the front seat and have shut the door, and like the waves going to the shore, I feel Nate's eyes moving over me.I give a nervous smile as our eyes meet."You're a whole lot of trouble, aren't you?" he says, shaking his head and starting the engine.I couldn't help laug
Crave Chapter 24: Nate
I toss the car key onto the coffee table, not realizing Mom was fast asleep on the sofa.Frighteningly, she jumps up from her sleep to turn on the light."I thought the party ended at midnight," she says as she sees that it's me."I decide to leave early," I respond.Mom approaches me and stretches to touch my face."I know you miss your old friends, as well as your girlfriend," she says sadly.I nod and say, "It's okay, Mom.""Get back to sleep. You look weary."She nods, and I wrap a hand around her shoulder, helping her upstairs.As we're at her bedroom door, she says, "Thanks Hun, you're a great son."I kiss her on the forehead. She goes into her room, and I go to mine.I strip down to my black boxers. Not feeling sleepy. I grab my laptop from the study desk and lay in bed. I video call my girlfriend Jenna.Immediately, she answers."Hey babe." She sits in the centre of her bed. She crosses her legs. She is adorned in a short blue satin nightgown that accentuates her curly shoulde
Crave Chapter 25: Amber
"Ms. Amber, you need to eat something," Clara, my maid, says, entering my room.She's parted the curtain; the sun shines in my eyes, and I pull the sheet over my head."It's Saturday. You should be out shopping with your friends and not in bed at noon," she says.I stare blankly beneath my sheet."Do you want me to call your therapist?" Clara asks."No," I say, falling back into deep silence."Is she having another mental breakdown?" At the door, Terise asks Clara.Unlike Clara, who has been working here since I was in my mom's belly, Terise has been a maid for three months."No, I'm not," I say, raising my voice. I don't want them to think so.They didn't believe it."Should we try to call her parents?" Clara asks Terise, worried."They won't answer. They never do." I say it sadly as tears stream down my eyes."Well, do you want us to call your boyfriend Tristan?" He always seems to cheer you up. "Terise is afraid that I will have another emotional meltdown.The last time I did, they
