POV Bella-
I woke up to my alarm clock blaring and sighed before getting out of bed. I stepped into the bathroom and started the shower as I disrobed and waited for the water to heat up. Getting into the shower, I place my hand on the tile, allowing the water to cascade down my golden hair and body as I lather up. I am going back to Harlowe Preparatory Academy and I can't even bring myself to get ready. I am dreading going.Every year I say I'm not going to let them push me around and then I cower as usual. I am not even going to bother telling myself that this year. I finished my shower, toweled off and then got ready for the day, then realized that my uniform skirt had either shrunk or I grew either way, it's short, like really short. I searched for another skirt but found nothing. Great! What a terrific beginning to the school year. I grabbed my shirt and realized that my chest had also got bigger. It fits me still but a little on the tight side, it pushes up my already full rack. Oh, I hate my life. Great, just great!I hear chatter outside my window and realize I'm running behind and I need to get my butt to breakfast before I miss out on getting a meal. I grabbed my bag, threw in my books, and ran out of the dormitories straight towards the dining hall. As I walked in, I heard someone whistle then do a wolf howl. I don't dare turn around. I know it's Alexander 'Xander' Saint, the school bad boy and my personal bully.I continued to walk up towards the line, then I smelled his sandalwood cologne and mint behind me. Did he just budge to get in line behind me? I know better than to look though, because nothing good ever comes from looking at Xander, so I try my best to ignore him and walk up to the lunch lady who is waiting for my order." I'll take a veggie omelet, egg-whites only, two slices of whole wheat toast, a small packet of butter, and a fruit bowl. Thank you." She types away at her keyboard then lowers her glasses, peering at me over them, " What to drink?"Oh yeah I forgot about that. I look at her before saying, " I'll just have bottled water." I hear a sneer behind me, " Figures. What's the matter, kitten? Are you on a diet?" Yeah, because of his taunting me about my weight and telling me to hide myself under sweaters, jackets, and even wear pants to school. I didn't understand then and still don't know what my appearance has to do with him. I mean, if you find me so repulsive, don't look.I handed the lunch lady my card, she swiped it, and handed it back to me. I grabbed my tray and headed outside to my table. I sit alone. I have a few friends but not many people will talk to me outside my group thanks to Xander. He’s made it difficult.He won't let anyone HE doesn't approve of talk to me, especially guys. Anytime a guy even looked in my direction, Xander would make it his goal to spread some rumor or something and they would never talk to me again, except for Nate, one of Xander's friends. He was always different. Nate has never let Xander's threats dictate my friendship with him.I don't know why Xander even cares about a worthless nobody like me, but he makes it his goal in life to keep tabs on every single thing I do, especially on campus, since the Dean of Admissions is his uncle. Lost in my thoughts, I'm sprawled out on the bench with my notebook open to my song lyrics page, eating my omelet and just as I'm about to take a bite of my toast, a strong hand grabs the tray from me. I smelled his sandalwood cologne and mint. Don't look, Bella. Ignore him. I ignored him, trying my best not to look at him, but I could feel his presence, so slowly I turned around and came face to face with Xander Saint.He looked at me, his emerald green eyes held mine captive and he held the tray just out of my reach as his 6ft5 height over- towering my 5ft5 frame. He often uses his height to intimidate people into getting what he wants. It works, too. People do what he says, even teachers turn a blind eye. His father, Nicodemus Robert Saint, was a highly respected business man in Harlowe who owned half the town's properties, and it's been said he had ties to the mafia and had the police, government officials, and the town's people all in his pocket, although no one knows for sure but Xander uses his father's power to influence people.Xander is the heartthrob of campus with his dark wavy brown hair, emerald green eyes that hint mischief, strong, broad shoulders, a chiseled jawline that could cut you, and a sculpted eight-pack abs which shows through the tight-fitting uniform shirts he wears with a 'V' indent that leads downward. I have seen him with his shirt off plenty of times at Nate's. After all, my aunt lives right nextdoor to him and I have been invited over to swim in his pool. Sometimes Xander would be there.Although he's sex in jeans, he is as arrogant as they come. Feeling my stomach grumble, I tried to reason with him, " Please give me back my tray, Xander." He smirked at me then grabbed a piece of my toast and continued holding it just out of my reach, " You'll have to come get it, kitten. Let me see you beg." I grabbed at my tray and he went higher. I jumped up to get it and he smiled wider as he stared at my chest. I stopped jumping, realizing my breasts were bouncing up and down. Oh yeah he was getting a pretty good show, especially since my shirt was about to burst open. Pervert! " Don't stop, for my benefit, kitten." He looked at my chest again and I wanted to slap that smug expression off his face.I climbed onto the picnic table, trying to get my hand on my tray. I lunged at him and lost my balance, falling down to the ground. Just as I am about to hit the ground, I feel an arm snake around my waist, ZAP I feel a jolt. I look up and see Xander staring down at me. He handed me my tray and he still had his arm around me. I blushed and turned away from him, then he grabbed my chin, forcing me to look at him," I missed you, kitten." Sure he did. I'm sure that I didn't cross his mind once the whole summer other than coming up with new ways to bully me.“Somehow I doubt that. I’m pretty sure it’s just the opposite, in fact.” I rolled my eyes at him in annoyance. He motions to his chest,“ You’re breaking my heart, Dolly. I honestly did miss you.” So now he has yet another pet name for me.He pulled me closer to his chest and tried to kiss my cheek. What the hell is he doing?POV Bella- I pushed his hands off my waist and then I gathered my tray and finished eating it before dumping it in the trash. I ran into the building towards my first hour. I can sense him at my heels." I'll see you around, kitten. This isn’t over." I heard him say behind me, his words both held a threat and a promise to them. I grabbed my books from my locker and got ready to walk away towards class. “ Oh, look at what we have here.” Oh hell. As if this morning didn’t suck already. Samatha Craig, Xander's girlfriend and queen B of campus and her hell-bitches. Yay. “ Problem with your ears, bitch?” All right. I guess she won’t leave me alone until I answer. Sure thing Royal Bitchness, I’ll bite. “What do you want, Sam?” She looked at me and flipped her strawberry blonde hair. “Don’t play stupid with me, bitch. I know you were hanging out with my man over the summer.” As if! I wouldn’t hang out with Xander Saint if he was the last man alive. He had made it his goal in life to make m
POV Bella-He steps towards me, mischief gleams in his eyes and the corners of his lips turn up a smirk." You think it's that easy, kitten? That I will just let you leave me? YOU ARE MINE! "Before I am able to object, he grabs my hips and pulls me even closer, then kisses me hungrily, nibbling on my lips and sucking until I moan. I stared at him with widened eyes. I'm frozen in place. Xander Saint kissed me. XANDER SAINT KISSED ME! Why did he do that? His eyes shoot open, watching me and he smiles, leaving my mouth before traveling down my neck where he nibbles, bites, and sucks on my flesh, marking me as he goes along." Your taste is just as I imagined all these years and it drives me crazy." Oh God what is he doing? Why am I reacting to his touch this way? He’s my bully for Pete’s sake! He grabs my face in his hands, peering down at me, desire in his eyes, "You belong to me, kitten. Now anyone who doubts it will know you're mine"I stared at him unblinking. Mine? What did he me
POV XanderI sat back and looked at Nate shrugging my shoulders. If Miss I think I'm better than everybody thinks she can get away from me, she's sadly mistaken. I am going to be the Bain of her existence. I am going to make her pay for mocking me. How could she say those things to me and think there'd be no consequences? When I get her alone, that girl is going to pay. As I'm deep in thought, Nate comes and sits behind me. I left a seat open directly in front of me for Bella. She'd had no other choice but to sit there." I saw you go into the abandoned classroom." I turn around and smirk at him, "Yeah, so?" He looks towards the front where Bella is staring confused at Chad who is in the chair she usually sits in, then back at me. " I saw who you went in there with. Anything you want to tell me?" I followed his gaze, then looked down at my desk, avoiding his eyes. " I know what you're thinking. Not that it’s any of your business who I go there with, but nothing happened." He shook his
POV Xander "Everything I need to make her life miserable. Her class schedules and where she works after school." We're walking out the classroom and Nate steps in front of me, blocking my way. I look at him and he's trying to keep me from seeing anything. " What?" I looked at him, my brow raised. He doesn't say anything, but his face says a lot. I sidestep him and my smile fades and is replaced by rage. She's walking down the hallway with Chad and he has his arm around her shoulder while she's tucked into his side. Gritting my teeth, I look at Nate, “What the fuck is Chad doing with her?" Nate steps in front of me as I am about to chase after them. " She's not your girl, Xan, she can date whoever she wants." I stare at him and grab his shirt pushing him up against the wall. How could he say that? He knows how I feel about her. He knows how I get. " She's mine, Nate. No other guy touches what's mine." Nate looks at me with disappointment, then wrestles away, "Dude, I know how you
POV Bella I can’t believe everything that happened. After the shower scenario, I avoided him like the plague for the next two days and, luckily, the weekend came and I had to work. I didn’t think he would find me here, but still somehow he found me. He always finds me. I was at work serving tables when my co-worker Carla said that she had to leave early and asked me to wait at the last table in section table 17. I didn’t think anything about it. I walked up to the table and pulled out my pad and pen, getting ready to jot down the order. “ Welcome to Montego’s, I’m Bella. What can I get for you tonight?” I hear a familiar chuckle. “ Are you on the menu, kitten?” I look up from my pad and am met with emerald green eyes and a devilish smile. No. Not here too. I hide my reaction with my pad then look at him with a fake smile. “ Ha ha ha, you’re sooo funny.” He grabs my hand and pulls me downward. “ I wasn’t joking, kitten. Are you offering me your services for tonight?” I pulled my
POV XanderI could tell by her reaction that I was the last person she expected to see tonight, but I knew she wouldn’t back out, she never missed a day or an opportunity to make money. When she asked what she could get for us tonight, I couldn’t hold back. Man, she got so upset at my comment. I was afraid she wouldn’t come back out, but I was surprised when she came back to the table and what she said. My kitten always surprised me.I had to hold back my anger when I saw how Chad and AJ were acting towards her; checking her out in front of me! I had thought Chad had gotten the picture when I smashed his face in on Thursday. Now I was going to have to talk to AJ, too. I mean, seriously they should know she’s mine. Well, soon they would, soon everyone would. I couldn’t help but smile at that. Only one more week and I couldn’t wait. The truth is I have been preparing for this for a very long time. I could not believe the day was finally arriving. I had been waiting since my father told
POV Xander“ What if I am?” Her voice broke through my thoughts and her words cut into my soul. “What are you going to do if I am dating another guy? A guy who shows me that I am special and that he actually sees me as b-beaut-iful. A guy who is kind and stands up for me. A guy who knows how to treat a girl. WHAT.IF.I.AM?”Her words hit me like a punch straight to the gut and I could no longer control the beast that was inside. I grabbed her face in my hands and smashed my lips against hers, putting everything I had into that kiss. I kissed her with an uncontrolable thirst that only she could quench. I nibbled on her bottom lip until she opened for me and then I dove my tongue deep into her depths, exploring every inch of her as I stole her oxygen. I grabbed her closer and, with one arm, held her in place as I traveled down her jawline, peppering kisses along the way. I spoke against her neck as I ravished her,“ YOU.ARE.MINE.BELLA.QUEEN”She moaned into my chest and it went straight
POV Xander After I watched Bella walk away, I noticed AJ and Chad looking at her ass and that was it for me. I slammed my fist down and looked at them. My eyes darkened. " Bella's mine. Don't either of you two even think about it! Chad, did I not teach you a good enough lesson on Wednesday?" They took a look at their bills, then both of them gave the other a look. " Dude, you've seen the ass on her. I'm sorry, but if your ass isn't hitting that, then I say she's open season. Chad agrees with me, right Chad?" I laughed, then grabbed AJ by his shirt and pulled him from his chair. " You don't think I can hit that, is that it?" AJ shared a glance toward the kitchen. " What's happened to you, Saint? Usually you'd already have hit that and be on to your next victim. What's so different about Bella? I mean sure she's hot as fuck but this isn't like you. You even broke up with Samantha Craig." I just smiled to myself. Soon they will know. Soon everyone will know. Bella Queen is mine. My jaw
