chapter 27

                     Kiara POV

  " Happy Valentine" he murmured as he walked into my room and I smiled.

  " Same to you val-less guy" I laughed.

  " You don't have a value too, Soo we are equal".

  I gave Jarden a nasty look before rolling my eyes.

  " Part of it was your fault actually" I sincerely said

  " Well thank me for it".

" Thank you? Why?" I anxiously asked.

  " At least you're still a virgin". He says.

  " You think that is something to be proud of ?" Jarden tinted his eyes before leaning on the couch.

  " It is" If Jarden thinks this is a good thing then it is, it's hard to get Jarden to think good about something.

  " So.... What are you wearing?" Jarden asked.

  " Nothing special it's just dinner right" Jarden nodded then walked towards me.

  " 5 feet away from each other sir it was agreed" Jarden stopped at my word before nodding.

  " Oh yh" he bites in lips before going back to the couch.

FLASHBACK

  "Yes" Immediately that word came out from Jarden's mouth, I was shattered, annoyed and angry. I was just a play toy to him, right?

  " We talked about this from the start Kiara, no....."

  " Strings attached" I completed.

  " So sorry, my bad, wasn't surprised" I laughed nervously.

  " So... Am I invited?" He asked. Invited to my room, after today? Hell no. Being alone with Jarden was like being alone with just one ice cream that I had been craving for a long period of time.

  " Can...." I stopped.

  " Can whatever we ever had just stop like let's not touch each other anymore" I blurted out.

  Jarden stared at me quietly for a while before walking closer to me.

  " Like 5 feet apart" he stopped walking towards me.

  " I thought I made it clear when I offered a friendship," he said.

  " We didn't talk about that though".

  " I said friends".

  " Friends can still do things right".

  " That is friends with benefits, I didn't say that," he said. I sigh.

"Let's just stop acting like children" he added.

PRESENT

  " Two weeks suspension," Mr Thompson said.

  " What was the fight about anyway?" Jake asked.

  " A video Game" Jarden murmured.

  " A video game?" Jake asked suspiciously.

  " Greg doesn't play video games" Jake murmured enough for just me and Jarden to hear. He looked at us giving us that look, which meant "I know you're lying".

  " fighting with your friend wasn't what you should...."

  " Dinner is ready" Mom interrupted.

  The aroma of the food welcomes us into the dining room. Mom's cooking was the best, I have always loved her cooking and I missed it.

  We all sat on the dining chair and began to devour our delicious delicacy.

  " So... We've set a date for our wedding" Mom said in excitement. I looked at Mr Thompson who smiled, he wasn't giving the same energy mom was giving, he didn't look excited about it.

  " Wow, that's wonderful" Jake the gorgeous child said.

  " When is it," I asked grinning.

  " Uhm March 23" Mom muttered softly.  My eyes widen abruptly, what does she mean by March 23rd?

  " Baby" mom murmurs

  " What the fuck mom, is this a prank or what?" I yelled looking at her with so much betrayal in my eyes. Everyone was already looking at us trying to understand the means of my outburst.

  " I can explain". Mom goes to say but I cut her short.

  "Explain what? You can't explain nothing" Tears rolled down my cheeks, and I couldn't just look at Mom right now, I stood up from the chair, and running to my room was the only thing on my mind. All I wanted to do was to cry my eyes out. Mom knows that day was the worst day of our lives. Does she expect me to be happy on that day, do as if nothing happened or do as if the most special thing in my life wasn't taken away from us that day?

  My door cracked open and a figure entered with the whiff of the cologne, I could tell that it was Jarden, he walked towards me before sitting beside me.

  " Sorry" Jarden murmurs. I looked at him, I couldn't help but wonder why he was telling me sorry.

  " Sorry about your dad..."

  " Don't" I cut him short

" Why?" He asks...

  " We both lost people we love so I assume you've felt the pain before even more" I whispered slowly and audibly for him to hear, he was quiet, and we both sat silently until he held my hands.

  " My dad died that day, the same day my mom is getting married to your dad" I couldn't help the sob that came out of my mouth. It was just so painful. Jarden hugged me and slowly patted my head.

  " He was my super-hero, my best friend, he was my everything, the best dad in the world, he could do anything for me, he would die for me, kill for me, lie for me, he was my first love, he was kind, so caring, so loving".

  " When he died, I and my mom promised ourselves that on March 23, we were going to visit him and spend all day in the cemetery".

  " That was the day I got to spend the day with my dad, now she just broke the vow, I won't go for that wedding, I would go to my dad's graveyard and pay my respect, I can't break the promise I made to him, never" I sniffed. Jarden redrew from the hug. He held my cheeks with both of his hands before looking straight into my eyes.

  " you don't have to attend, I can join you, we can go together okay, no need to cry okay" he assured me kissing my cheeks softly. I nodded before hugging him again.

  " I love you" I murmured. The sudden jerk of Jarden made me realize what I just said. Jarden immediately redrawn from the hug, staring at me strangely.

  " I-i-i- me- meant....." I stuttered, he stood up and walked away without sparing me a glance.

  What have I done? He was just trying to be kind and I fucked up. I am such a bitch... Ahhhhhhh, he made it clear about us the first time now, I have fucked it up.

                          Next day

  I was so ashamed, ashamed of myself. I stared at Jarden's door, I didn't know how I was going to knock, was he going to tell me to get out? I wouldn't have been here if not for my foolishness, why did I even say those words, I wasn't sure if I loved him, I know I liked him, what is there not to like but love?

  I was just bluffing right, it was because of my emotions, he was being kind and there for me maybe that triggered my emotions, what if I knocked and he closed the door in my face? No, I can't risk that. I opened the door and walked in, I could hear the shower running. He must be bathing, so now do I have to wait.

  " What is the whore doing here" the feminine voice drew my attention. My glance met with the bitch.

  " Me whore?" I asked with so much sarcasm in my voice. She rolled her eyes before walking towards me.

  " What are you doing here?" She asked.

  " I should be asking you that question" she scoffed.

  " I came to see my boyfriend" I couldn't help but laugh.

  " Your boyfriend?" I asked.

  " Well duh...." What a bitch.

  " You are the one dating him right?" I asked smirking.

  " Just shut up" she angrily said.

  " He doesn't even like you," she says.

  " Well same to you" I fired back.

  " You think you have him?" She asked still waking closer to me.

  " Didn't say those" I defended.

  " No, you know while you were busy thinking about him, he was f*cking the hell out of me last night," she said pointing to her neck, which was filled with hickeys.

  I was trying to act as if I didn't care and didn't give a shit about that but damn it hurts, it was painful to hear or look at.

  Now I know I do love him.

  " The way his cock entered me, fuck.... He is so..... Big, he is the best I have ever had, I couldn't stop screaming I was shocked you didn't hear me last night" she hissed in pleasure as she covered her body.

  " He is still having a bath, I was just about to join him when you decided to spoil the fun". I couldn't stay here and listen to her nonsense. I was the fool anyway to like someone like Jarden, the man-whore fuck! I could not control my feelings, I could not.

  Why do I keep falling for the wrong guys? I angrily stormed out of his room, running to my room.

  " Don't cry" I murmured to myself immediately after I entered my room.

" Don't cry" I kept murmuring, I couldn't help it, I couldn't help the tears. What the fuck is wrong with me anyways. Why do I always cry? Cry all the time. Why am I not strong?

  " Fuck!.. I am stupid" I laughed out in frustration. What was I expecting? Priscilla was beautiful, she was any guy's dream, blonde hair, blue eyes, big ass and what am I? Brown hair, brown hair, brown skin, no ass, stupid me.

  " Kiara" I heard my name. That voice that deep and sexy voice. I quickly clean my tears and turn in his direction smiling.

  " Are you okay?" He asked.

  " Yh yh, why not" I faked a smile.

  " You came to my room," he said.

  " oh sorry, just wanted to apologise for yesterday but it seems that you had a visitor" I smiled still smiling.

  " Priscilla... Oh yh, she came today"? What a lying bastard.

  " You don't need to lie okay, I am a grown-up just like you," I said still grinning. He looked at me weirdly.

  " What do you mean?" He asked still acting clueless.

  " What do you mean? I know you and Priscilla fucked throughout the night after I foolishly confessed my feelings for you".

  " No we didn't do no such thing, she came to the house this morning and...."

  " You gave her hickey's all over her neck" I completed.

  " Yes I agree but I stopped, we didn't fuck okay, I told her to leave before I finish bathing but it seems like she didn't" he explained.

  " You kissed her?" I asked.

  " Yes but...."

  " You did" I felt heartbroken, I looked at Jarden who was looking at me too, why wasn't he laughing at me or angry at me about the fact that I was asking him questions, questions that I shouldn't ask?

  " You are the only one I want to kiss, morning, afternoon, evening even forever".

  I stared at him shocked, his confession almost made my ears bleed, was he trying to make me feel better or what?

  " You're lying" I finally said... Buh he just sighed and then walked closer to me.

  He stared intensely at me before bringing his face closer to mine. I didn't know what to do. Whether to push him or run away from him.

  When his lips touched mine, I felt that feeling that I had never felt before not with Lucas, Greg or even Jarden the first time we kissed.

  His hands held my waist bringing me closer to himself. That was when I noticed that he was only in his boxers, his tongue travelling into my mouth gaining full entrance. This was a temptation, he was a bad temptation.

  " Fuck, you don't know how long I have been craving you" he murmurs in between our kiss, my hands caressing his shirtless body, shit! One thing I was obsessed with was his body, it was jugivingvin.

  " I can't get enough of you," he said. I didn't think I would get enough of him either. His hands grab my ass, I couldn't help but moan as he massages it softly.

  " What the hell are you both doing".

Oh shit!
