Rachel’s POV "Well, thank you." I answered and smiled. I was so surprised because I wasn’t expecting such a huge compliment from him; this was actually the first time he complimented me this way.He then smiled, started up the engine, and drove out.I noticed my face turning red, and I didn’t want him to know, so I looked away from the window."Are you okay?" He asked, and I sensed he looked at me.Yes, I am very fine." I answered and let out a smile.I noticed my red cheeks were now reduced, and they were not too red anymore. I saw it through the window, so I looked at him, and he smiled at me and looked back at the road.The drive was a long one, and I enjoyed it too."Let’s stop here." He said so, and we dropped by a classic big restaurant."Wow, this place looks nice." I commented. "Yeah." He said this as he parked properly, and we both came down."So is this the place you haven’t taken Laura to?" I asked because he told me something like that a while ago."Uhm, no." He laughed.
Rachel’s POV I woke up and saw David’s face very close to mine, but his eyes were on my lips.I also realized my head was on his arm.“Why are you staring at me like that?” I asked him, and he looked up.“Oh, you’re awake.” He smiled. I took my head from his arm and sat upright.“I hope I didn’t wake you." He asked, and he sat upright too.No, you didn't, and thank you.” I smiled at him.He smiled and nodded.“Let’s head home now.”“No! Can we just stay a little longer?” I muttered. “You want to stay for a while?” He asked. “Yes,” I replied.“Alright then.”We sat and talked for a while.This new David is really nice, and I hope he doesn’t change anytime soon.After a while, I went back to the car to go back home.“I would really love to go back there, David.” I said this as we were heading home.Yeah, sure, anytime you want to go there, I’ll take you.” He said it and smiled.“Thank you; I really enjoyed myself today.” I smiled and looked at him.“I am glad you did.” He smiled at
Rachel’s POV I smiled at him and continued eating.We were all silent for a while and just ate our food.“You guys aren’t talking anymore; do I make you guys feel uncomfortable?” David asked. “No, not at all.” Mary laughed. “Do I, Rachel?” He looked at me.“Oh,” Mary muttered.No, you don’t; please eat your food.” I answered and smiled slightly.Shortly after, David got a call and left the table.“Rachel, I will see you around.” Scott uttered something and smiled softly before leaving.“Are you sure Scott is okay?” Mary asked as we both watched as he walked away.“I don’t know, Mary, and I don’t know why David has been acting so strange lately.” I said so and nodded in agreement.“Have you asked him why the sudden change?” She asked. “I haven't, though.”I guess I’ll have to ask him that.A few moments later, school was over.“Let’s go,” David said as I walked up to him.“Okay.” I said that and got into his car.“You look worried.” He uttered it while driving back home.“Uhm, I wa
Rachel POV I gasped as he held me tightly.I got up after he took his hands away. I couldn’t even look at his face.“I am sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable.” He uttered something, and I managed to look at him.“No, it’s fine. Are you okay?” I asked him.Yes, I am.” He laughed a little.There was an awkward silence for a while.“Rachel.” He called out my name.“Hmm.” I raised my brows and looked at him.“I really like you, Rachel, and I don’t know if that will ever change. Thinking that David was not into you will make things easier for you and me, but now I think he is picking up more interest in you.”“What!” My voice wasn’t too audible.“David likes Laura, not me.” I added. “He is beginning to like you.” Scott didn’t look happy.“And I guess that would make things hard for me to get to you.”“I want to ask you a question, Rachel.” He turned properly in my direction.“Okay.”“And I want you to be honest with me.”From the way he sounded, I hope there is no problem, and from t
David’s POV I noticed how Rachel cried a lot, plus her mood wasn’t so good as we left the house.What’s going on with her?“We should just go home; you don’t look fine to me. Rachel. "What is wrong? Why are you this way?” I asked her, and I brought her out of the house so she could have fun and not cry.“I want to go home.” She said it with a cracked voice.“Let’s go.” I took her hand, and we walked out of the place. I drove out immediately as soon as we got into the car.I asked her why she was crying and what really changed her mood. She didn’t want to say it; obviously, she was crying, but she didn’t want to spill out what made her cry.She insisted she wanted to go home, and I took her home.We got home.“Rac...” she walked out immediately as we stepped down from the car.What’s with the mood?I went into my room. I had taken a bath already, so I changed up. I laid on my bed for a while before going to Rachel’s room to ask her why she was feeling sad.I’m sure by now she has res
Rachel’s POV He turned his face away and cleaned his eyes. He looked so pitiful.I didn’t even know what to say at first.David, it’s fine; I am fine now; why are you this way?” I answered. He looked so different and shattered; what must have happened to him?He looked at me, placed my hand on my cheek, rubbed it gently, and smiled a little. His eyes were red.“So have you forgiven me for the pain I caused you?” He asked, and his palm still caressed my face softly.Why is he always talking about the pain he has caused me? That was far, far gone, even if I still feel the pain a little.“Yes, I have forgiven you; you shouldn’t have turned yourself this way.” I replied. I just had to tell him that, maybe to lighten up his mood.“Thank you; you don’t know how happy I am now.” He dragged me into a hug, and he hugged me tightly. My head was on his chest, and he rubbed my hair. “Thank you so much, Rachel.” He said it and kissed my hair before he pulled out the hug.“I’ll leave you to go to
Rachel’s POV David and Laura have broken up. Why?“Oh, you didn’t know they weren’t together anymore? What a pity.” She laughed. “How did they break up?” I asked.“Are you going to believe them right now, Rachel?” Mary asked, and she looked at me in disbelief.Obviously, I should believe it because the way David has been behaving lately is out of the ordinary, and I also had this strange feeling that that might be the reason for his attitude.“I think I should believe, Mary." I turned to her and answered, I haven’t told her everything that happened to David. “Go and ask the guy you snatched from Laura; maybe he will tell you why they broke up.” One of those girls struck.“Let’s go, girls.” She added, and they walked out.Why would David hide it from me? At least he would have told Scott.“Are you really going to believe those girls? Do you think Laura will ever want to break up with David?” Mary was questioned. One thing about Mary is that she never believes until she sees evidence
Rachel’s POV “David?” I muttered and looked closely. It was Jack. Am I alright? Why would I ever mistake Jack for David? Fuckk!! How did I forget that David asked me to go out with him today? How did it slip my mind?“It’s not David, dummy, it’s Jack.” Jack laughed. Sorry, Jack, that was a slip of the tongue.” I laughed softly.“Are you sure you are okay, Rachel?” Scott asked and held my hand. The fact that I don’t even know if I am fine amazes me.Yes, I am alright.” I formed a smile, and he nodded. I’m sure by now David must have found out I am not at home, and maybe he might be annoyed.I was also a little worried that Scott might get angry at the way I acted, so I had to switch up my mood quickly.“So what are you doing here?” I asked Jack.“I was just heading out now; I do come here sometimes.” He answered, and I nodded continuously as he talked.“I will leave you guys; I will catch up with you tomorrow.” He said this and fisted my arm softly.Alright, see you,” I replied, and
