I turned away to face Lee and kissed him, trying to erase the intense blue eyes.
"You okay?" Lee asked.
"Of course. Just missed your lips" I ran my thumb over his soft pink lips.
"Oh my god Scar, did you see who's here?" Lulu asked. "Ty Dalton."
"Wasn't he kicked out of Wrenford for drugs or something?" Carter asked.
"Yeah." I said. "He was dumb enough to bring them on campus."
"Why is he looking over here like that?" Lincoln questioned.
"Probably recognizes us or something." Analeigh shrugged. "Who cares, let's go get a drink."
The drink didn't calm my nerves. Nothing rea
I woke up to the sound of heavy rain. I loved rainy days. Too bad I had shit to do today like talk to my ex drug dealer and probably explain to Lee about the kind of person I used to be. I felt lips on my shoulder and then my neck. "You awake baby?" Lee asked. His voice was sexy in the morning. "I am." "Did you have a good night? Was it a good birthday?" "Most of the night was perfect." I turned around and faced him, giving him a kiss. "And that was because of you." "I was hoping we could talk about last night." Lee sat up. "Do you really want to talk when we could be doing other things?" I ran my fingers over his ba
I got in the shower. The water washed away my tears. I shouldn't be this upset. Things with Lee were never supposed to get this far anyways. I should be thrilled. The choice had been made. It's Grayson. Grayson who has always supported me and saved me and didn't judge my addiction. Shit I should call him. Our minds must be linked or something. When I grabbed my phone off of the counter I had a text from him. Rain check on today? (pun intended) storm is causing problems at work love u the most Damn it. I could really use some cuddling from him, especially on a day like this. When I exited the bathroom, Lee was back. "Don't worry, I'll be gone in a few minutes." I said.
Three weeks later, Lee still hadn't found the right answer. I figured he didn't want to, which was fine.We still sat next to each other in each class and worked on our project, but we didn't speak about the relationship we had only weeks ago.I decided to throw myself into my relationship with Grayson like I should have been doing before. Things were better than ever between us. I spent any time that I wasn't at school at his house. It almost felt like we lived together.We were in the living room at the opposite ends of the couch. He was working and I was doing homework."So, did you and that other guy you were seeing end things?" Grayson questioned suddenly."Sorry?""I k
"Grayson what?""Marry me?""I-I will. But you said you were proposing later this year.""Screw it. I had an idea." His grey eyes glimmered with excitement. "What if we eloped? Fuck the schedule and the timing and all these things my parents set up for us. We can go to the courthouse tomorrow and just get it done with.""Grayson, your mother will die if we do that." I said. "I'm sorry, we can't.""You hate that schedule. Y-you hate the thought of the decisions they'll make for us. So let's do this. Our first decision as a real couple. Let's say fuck you to my parents.""I can't do that, babe. What if they take back everything they said about me being COO because we didn't do thing
Analeigh's question rang in my head for days. "Who are you spending Spring Break with?" It should be Grayson right? He was my boyfriend and I had spent Winter Break with Lee. Though that was Grayson's fault. And from what Lulu tells me, Lee always goes home for Spring Break with his family. We're not serious enough for that right? Probably not. So I would be spending it with Grayson. "So Scarlett, about Spring Break…" "Oh I've been thinking about it too, Gray. Do you wanna go away somewhere secluded or have a staycation here?" Grayson fidgeted nervously. "Um my parents kind of planned another business vacation for Sprin
If asked I would never in a million years admit how nervous I was about Spring Break.Lee insisted I completely be myself, and I somewhat agreed. I wanted to be the best version of myself. I just wanted to impress his family."Straight.""Curly.""Come on, the goal is not to rub them the wrong way.""But I kinda want you to.""That makes me feel like you're using me to piss your family off." I pointed out."I'm not!" Lee exclaimed. "I want you to meet my family because you're important to me.""Great, I'll straighten my hair. Now what about the wardrobe?"
I looked insanely wealthy.I took one more look in the mirror. I looked like some heiress ready to inherit all her daddy's money.I had on a short, tight sequined red dress with a gold belt around the middle. It was kind of low cut but very tasteful and dipped a little in the back. I paired it with diamond earrings and black red bottoms.I ran my fingers through my hair one last time before turning to Lee. "So?""You look spectacular." Lee said, his eyes lighting up. "You're beautiful. Everyone is gonna love you.""I hope so. We should go, we don't want to be late.""It's downstairs not across town, babe.""I feel like they're the same
A very thin, beautiful woman with dyed honey blonde hair was hurrying over to us, with a quite handsome older man in tow. I'm terrified to know how bad this was going to be."Aw, there you are, Brandy!" She smiled. "You look more like your father every day.""We all have flaws." Lee joked before she wrapped him in a tight hug."Brandy." The older man said."Uncle Zeke." They shook hands.The woman looked me up and down with what I hope is intrigue. "Is this the girl then?""Yes. Uncle Zeke, Aunt Holly, this is my amazing girlfriend, Scarlett."Zeke enthusiastically shook my hand, but Holly seemed less enthused.
