My One-night-stand Alpha 11 — I'm innocent!
My lips twitch and for a moment I think about answering that yes, I'll watch this damn Basketball Competition, after all, it's a big event. But then… I remember that they're competing for Alice. I remember Jasper kissing her… And just like that, my courage just shatters.“No, I won't.” I reply quickly, turning my back on her. But I can feel Lily's eyes burning into my skin.“What?” Lily sighs deeply, “Scarlett, you know how important this event is, don't you?”Of course, I do, but…“Are you really not going to watch them? Bryan and Jasper are fighting over you in this competition, you know? Don't be heartless.” Lily says with a sly tone.“Stop saying things like that, Lily. This isn't about me.” I snort, feeling a chill in my stomach because again, the scene I saw between Alice and Jasper returns to my mind, bothering even in my dreams. It's funny how this made me more upset than when I saw Bryan with her at the club.“If it's not about you, who else?” She moves closer to me, placing
My One-night-stand Alpha 12 — Amber
Jasper's girlfriend?I can't help but let out a small incredulous laugh because I'm certainly hearing things. Did she say she's Jasper's girlfriend?Maybe my reaction didn't please her because I see her expression shuts even more, with her eyebrows frowning and an angry look taking over her eyes that, now I see, are blue.“Did I say something funny?” She asks snidely, clearly impatient.No, it's not funny… yet I'm about to laugh.It's not funny, not in the least. After all, there's no way it's funny that he asked me to be his girlfriend when he already has one.And Amber? What's his deal with names inspired by colors?Honestly, I don't know if I want to laugh or cry, or just explode, overflowing this anger and conflicting feelings. I don't know how to feel, how to order these thoughts. I'm at a complete loss for words.“Girlfriend?” Lily's voice sounds equally harsh, and I feel like I can finally breathe, thanks to her words.I cast a brief glance at my friend's face, and notice that
My One-night-stand Alpha 13 — Cheer for me
I open my lips to answer him, but no sound comes out, although my eyes probably speak for me. And to my relief, the bell rings loudly, rousing everyone from this delight. Jasper points with his head towards the Sport Hall, and puts his hands in the pockets of his baggy pants, while encouraging me to follow him with short steps. I just follow, my eyes locked on the floor, as my feet practically drag. Everyone is heading for the entrance, but just as we reach Lily and Amber, who are staring at each other with not the least bit of a friendly expression, Jasper stops. I stop next to Lily, still at a loss for words. “So… are you going to watch my competition with Bryan?” Jasper's voice is soft, and draws my fearful eyes, which hover over his face again. “Yes, of course we will!” Lily steps forward, with a huge smile on her face. “I hope you'll scream my name very loud…. So, I can hear you cheering for me.” He says with his suggestive tone, his eyes locked on mine — and I can't help b
My One-night-stand Alpha 14 — The start of the match
“Are you-” I hear the low, slightly worried voice, so I open my eyes startled, and then I notice that not only I fell over Bryan's chest, but his hands are also on my waist, holding me.I quickly retreated and, thank God, Lily helped me get up, but I'm still slightly dazed. I look around, searching for the person who pushed me; however, my eyes quickly return to Bryan, who is getting up, stretching his neck. He's already in his black and gray College uniform, which shows off the players' strong arms and built calves muscles.I see how he looks at me with a conflicted expression, and I could swear his eyes glisten at the sight of me. This gives me a distressing feeling, and as I don't want to sustain his gaze, I turn my face away.However, he indeed saved me from a fall that would probably hurt badly, my body and proud, so I couldn't help but look at him fearfully again, saying with hesitation, “Thank you…”His eyes widen slightly, and he opens his lips to answer me, but…“YOUR WHORE!”
My One-night-stand Alpha 15 — Look at me.
By the next moment, the players start moving, and the loud, shrill sound of shoes slipping on the floor amidst the cheering makes me feel a strange excitement, especially since I can't take my eyes off Jasper, who is moving so fast that sometimes it's hard to see him. Several times he crosses the court in a matter of seconds, and I wonder how anyone can be so fast and agile.However, all my thoughts are interrupted when Jasper makes the first basket, rising in an incredibly high leap and burying the ball ruthlessly, holding tightly to the basket. The reaction was immediate — everyone in our school stood up, shouting words that I cannot understand, but I can tell by their expressions how excited they're to open the scoring with such an incredible basket.I don't know anything about basketball, it's true, but that basket seems impressive to me.A huge digital number with the number 2 appears on the HOME team's scoreboard.“Have you ever watched a basketball game before?” I ask Lily, wit
My One-night-stand Alpha 16 — Locker room
— JASPER ROOSEVELT (POV)ㅤEven in the locker room, I can still hear the cheering of the crowd echoing inside my head. It's a pleasant feeling, I must admit. Since I didn't want to waste time on trivial things while looking for my Luna, I rejected all offers to join clubs and teams. Well, it's not that bad, like I thought.But what is really stuck in my mind is the way Scarlett cheered when I made that last point. The way her eyes glittered, thrilled, and a happy smile took over her lips…. My heart really pounded… And if those people hadn't run to me, I probably would have gone to her…I hear a loud noise, the slamming of the locker door. I raise my eyes, annoyed that my thoughts about Scarlett have been interrupted…. Then I notice that a very angry Bryan is coming towards me, and I can't help but let out a dry laugh because that expression looks simply pathetic.“Are you feeling victorious, newbie?” He asks snidely, stopping beside me with his arms crossed, as if intimidating someone
My One-night-stand Alpha 17 — Alice's proposal
“Hey, you!”I sigh deeply and turn my back, yet Alice comes at me in a burst, holding tightly onto my arm. Before I can complain, she's pulling me away from the Sport Hall, with her hands grabbed around my wrist.“Stop it!” I pull my hand hard, freeing myself from her abrupt touch.Alice stops in place, finally turning to me with an angry expression on her face, and eyes fierce like daggers.“What is your problem?” I ask with frowning eyebrows, touching the place where she squeezed me.“My problem? It's that you're a slut…!” Alice points at me, “You certainly are enjoying having the two most handsome boys in college fighting over you, aren't you? You can't fool me, Scarlett!”“Fighting over me?” I cross my arms, “If you intend to keep saying these meaningless things, there's no reason for me to listen to you. I'm leaving-”I see Alice struggle against the anger that's probably growing and burning in her chest because she clenches her hands into fists tightly. She seems to be biting he
My One-night-stand Alpha 18 — Party girl
“Oh, I'm sorry…” I start to apologize, desperate, with my hands on an extremely hard, extremely naked chest under the palm of my hands…. But when I hear a chuckle, I immediately freeze.I raise my eyes to face him…. Jasper.My heart skips a beat, and I take a step back, stumbling pitiably over my own feet. If it weren't for his firm arm around my waist at this moment, I would surely hit the ground. Today is definitely not my day.“Hi, Reddy.” He keeps his eyes on my face.“Hi…” I say with a flawed voice and trembling lips, “Y-You can let me go now…”“Are you sure? It looks like you're bound to stumble today.”Oh, Gosh! I feel my whole face heat up, and probably my cheeks are red as my hair, because Jasper lets out a chuckle again and makes me even more embarrassed.Slowly, he holds my shoulders and makes sure that my feet are firmly on the ground.I really could disappear at this point.“Thank you for cheering for me today.” He says, bringing his hand up to his black hair, so dark it
