The next day, everyone's pumped, and talking about what they're gonna do for Thanksgiving, a lot of the gift that they want to collect and turkeys to eat. But I. I'm just not pumped about anything. Maybe it's my conscience feeling terrible about my self. Or I feel stupid and a little bit nauseous. What's there to be pumped about? Everything is just the same except that I'm gonna spend it with my Sister and away. It's a change, I know, and I should be happy about it. But I just don't feel like it. Everything about me is just dead.

"You still like him!!" Cin said as she sat beside me.

"You just don't realize it!!" She told me.

"No she doesn't!! She's just feeling bad!!" Mia said. And they both sat beside me, we're currently in the library, as usual, and Cin was at my right, Mia left.

"I don't ever know anymore!!" I told them.

"You like Kelvin?" Cin asked me.

"Yeah I guess." I said. I still do, it's not just has strong for me to give him my virginity. Actually, yes. I only had three boyfriends in my life, I was just too small for sex when I dated them and Kelvin and i haven't done anything. So yeah!! And for all the bitches who think I'm a bitch. They're stupid. Well, I'm cheating on my boyfriend so I'm kind off a bitch.

"And you like Jace?" Mia asked.

"No!!" I said blankly.

"But you guys are always together!!" Cin said.

"You like him, you don't just see it!!" Mia said.

"Okay so what if I like him, which I don't?" I asked them.

"Tell Kelvin you like someone else?!!" Cin said.

"Easy for you to say. I don't even know if I like Jace, and what if I do tell Kelvin and we break up. How would I know if Jace even likes me!! Which is a lose-lose for me. Moreover, Kelvin would even be mad if he knows I broke up with him cause I like Jace...... Which I don't!!" I said. And they sighed.

"So what are you gonna do?" Mia asked me.

"If you think I know, will I be in the library?" I asked them. Cin nod and held my hand.

"You'll be fine. I just think you're going through a phase in relationship when you doubt your feelings!!" Cin said.

"What do you know about relationships. You've never been in one!!" Mia told Cin.

"And have you?" Cin asked. They both stare at each other.

"Hey hey, stop fighting!!" I said.

"She started it!!" They both said together. I stood up.

"I'll just go home and call in sick." I said.

"We have detention remember?" Mia said. Oh!!

"Right!!" I said and sat down back

"Why don't we have a girl's out. Only the three of us?" Mia asked.

"No..... I hate shopping!!" Cin groaned.

"We might not go shopping. Maybe get a massage, go to a spa, watch movies, eat dinner or something?" Mia said.

"My flight is 8!!" I said.

"Won't you and Jace talk about the flight and everything?" Cin asked me.

"You really don't want a girl's out?" Mia asked her.

"I don't know, I don't know if I want to see Jace!!" I said.

"You have too!!" Cin said. I sighed.

"You're right." I said.

"I'll just call him maybe this evening!!" I added.

"Then we can have a nights out!!" Mia said.

"No!!" Cin groaned.

"Yes!! Lizzy, yes right?" She asked me.

"I guess!!" I said.

"She said yes, two over three. We won. We're going, yay!!" Mia said.

"Isn't that Jay?" Cin asked, I turned as I saw him with Irene kissing while holding a book at their front.

"Who cares about him?" Mia said. Cin and i looked at each other.

"No one said anything about caring!!" I said. She cleared her throat.

"Whatever!!!"

------------------

After detention, we had a massage, went to a spa, we didn't go shopping cause of Cinna, and we had lunch, we watched movies and we went to a karoake and screamed our lungs out. And now, we're having ice cream.

"That was the best girl's out!!" Mia said. We took selfie..... Again!! We've taking like a pot of selfies and Mia has posted all on Instagram.

"Did you have a good time?" Cin asked quietly, Mia was taking a selfie eating ice cream. I giggled at that.

"Yeah I guess. It help me clear my mind!!" I told her. My phone started ringing and I checked the  caller ID. Barbie🙃. Oh geez!!

"Pick it!!" Cin said. I was too slow, and Cin picked it.

"Hey Jace...... what's up?...... Yeah,....... Nice actually, i and the girls had a girl's out.......Yeah, I know it's not really my scene, but I kind of have to ........ Yeah....... Oh, yes she's here....... Sure!!" She said and handed me the phone. Urgh!!!

"Yeah!!" I said.

"About the holiday stuff ....."

"Oh, I'll come over to your house!!" I said.

"You meant I'm coming over to yours!!" He said.

"Yeah right!!" I said and he giggled.

"I'll see ya. What about Mia?" He asked.

"She's......" I look up to see Mia with a moustache filled with ice cream, taking a selfie. I giggled.

"She's fine. Really!!" I said.

"That's good!!" He said

"Yeah..... What are you up to?" I asked him.

"Reading a book in my library for three hours straight!!" He said.

"Whoa. You must be a nerd!!" I teased.

"Hey, I'm not a nerd!!" He spat.

"What is it with being a nerd?" I asked teasing him.

"A lot of things muffin, a lot of things!!" He said.

"Yah, I'll see ya!!" I said.

"Bye muffin. Tell Mia I'm seeing her in Insta, and Cin she looked good!!" He said and hang up.

Cin looked good?!?!

He didn't say I looked good or anything, or that he's...... He didn't even talk about me? Jerk!! I dropped my phone on the table and started licking my ice cream.

"What's wrong?" Cin asked me.

"Nothing!!" I replied and continued my ice cream.

-----------------

"Thanks guys. I had a lot of fun!!" I told them.

"We gat ya!" Mia said and hugged me, so did Cin.

"Bye!!" I yelled.

"Bye!!" The said in return and I ran in. It's such a nice day. Dad's travelled so I'm the only one at home cause Betty is not always around on Thanksgiving. So I have the house to myself. And I can be free!!! I had a shower and laid on my bed. I watched movies and later, the door to my window was opened.

"You know you can just pass through the normal door like a normal person?" I asked him

"Good evening to you too." He said. I rolled my eyes.

"And do I look like a normal person? Can a normal person be this smashing?" He asked as he sat beside me on the sofa.

"Urgh, love films!" He said.

"What's with love movies?" I asked him.

"My God, everything!!" He said and i roll my eyes.

After talking about the flight and everything, I brought popcorn and smooties.

I sighed and he put his head on my shoulders. Geez!! And my stomach tied a knot. Butterflies!!

"I'm scared!!" He told me. I sighed.

"Me too!!" I said. We both stuffed popcorns in our mouth.

"Why are you scared?" I asked him later. He sighed.

"There are sometimes in life when you do things you're not supposed to do, but you do it anyway!!" He said. He looked at me.

"Tell me I made the right choice!!!" He said. I smiled and pulled him close, his head on my shoulder, my head on his.

"If it's what makes you happy Jace. You made the right choice!!" I told him and we stayed like that until the movie ended. I sat up and I saw that Jace has fallen asleep. I placed him gently on the couch and removed his boot. Then removed his jacket. I smiled and looked up. He really looks very innocent and cute when he sleeps. I put his hair behind his ear and planted a kiss on his forehead. I sighed and went to the shower, I had a shower and wore my PJs. I went to bed after and slept off.

'Today is such a nice day🙄'

-----------------

"This is stupid!!" I yelled as I called Mikel, my Dad's secretary.

"What do you mean Betty used the private jet? I booked it down!!" I screamed.

"Well, she said you changed plans!!" He told me.

"And since when I've you seen Betty and I talk for her to know my plans?" I asked him. He went silent for a minute.

"So what are we going to do?" I asked him.

"She's landing in..... Washington right now. Maybe we can fly back......."

"Won't that take hours?" I asked him.

"Not much!!" He said.

"I shouldn't have trusted you Mikel!" I said.

"I'm sorry!!" He said. I hang up. And i looked at Jace who is chewing gum, playing  a kind of zombie game.

"So,......, We've been ditched?" He asked him.

"Not really!!" I told him.

"So, where is the jet?" He asked.

"Well..... So we've been a little ditched!!" I said. He looked at me and smiled.

"Well that's okay, how about we get ice cream?" He asked smiling, that smile is somewhat suspicious.

"Really?" I asked excited.

"No!!" He said and I frowned pouting.

"Ouch!!" I said. He rolled his eyes and stood up.

"But really, let's get ice cream!!" He said and I nod happily.

-----------------

"Yes, Betty is such a bitch!!" I said.

"I'm sorry Liz, I've been waiting in the airport....... Give me a second!!" She said and held me. I waited for minutes until.

"Dad's jet is available, and he's also coming to Los Angeles!!" She said almost yelling.

"Oh my God!!" I said standing up.

"Run there in 10!!" She said.

"Okay!!" I said. I hang up and I dragged Jace who was licking ice cream and it got on his jaw, looking like a moustache.

"What the f***k?" He said.

"Let's go. We only have ten minutes!!" I said. We carried our luggages and ran.

---------------

"Father!!" I yelled as I hugged him, almost sitting on his laps.

"My Elizabeth. How are you?" He asked.

"I'm good. Heard you're flying to Los Angeles?" I said.

"Yes." He said. Then he turned to Jace.

"Robert?" He said at first.

"No Dad. He's Jace!!" I told him. My father looked at him.

"Would your father be happy about you...." He looked at me and stopped. I'm confused.

"He doesn't know!!" Jace murmured.

"Okay. Let's get in!!" He said. We entered, and I sat beside the window, Jace sat beside me.

"You know my dad?" I asked him putting on my safety belt. He did the same.

"My Dad does. They're business partners and..... close friends!!" He said.

"Oh okay!!" I said and smiled.

"That's nice. My father knows almost everyone doing business." I told him.

"Uhmm, yeah!!" He said.

"Robert? That's the name of your father?" I asked him.

"Can you stop the questions?" He asked me. I sighed.

"Sorry!!" I said.

The rest of the flight were Jace and My Dad talking about business and Dad telling me how well mannered and good he is to me. Turns out, Robert, his father and my Dad have been friends since childhood. And he said he only saw Jace when he was a baby, when he was twelve and fourteen. And saying how much he looks like his father. And they continued their business talk from England, American trade and even Russia. Politics and so on. I just slept off.

"Wakey-wakey!!" I heard Jace's voice. I smiled.

"Hey!!" I said. He gave me a fast, short and sweet kiss which I loved. I kissed him again and I heard a throat clear. I startle.

"I'm *cough* still *cough* here!!" He said. My cheeks were a shade of pink as I smiled.

"We'll be landing in....." The captain started saying the Bla Bla bla. We're almost landing. Yay!!

"I can't wait!!" I said.

----------------

"Bye Dad!!" I said and hugged him.

"Take care of him darling!!" He whispered.

"Why? He should be the one that should take care of him!!" I told him.

"Don't let him go out that much okay?" He told me. I sigh.

"I don't know but okay!!" I said and pulled away. We said our goodbyes.

"Let's go Muffin!!" He said and I nod.

----------------

"Lizzie!!" Eliza yelled.  She ran to hug me and I hugged her too.

"Oh My God, I can't believe you're here. Ohh. And you brought your friend..... Whoa, you're hot!!" Eliza said.

"Really?" I asked her.

"I'm not the only one that think so too!!" She said and I turned. Every girl in the airport eyes is actually fixed on Jace. I held his hand.

"Well....., Let's go!!" I said.

"Relax, no one can just beat your beauty like that!!" She said.

"Actually there is someone!!" He said.

"Who?" Eliza asked.

"Him!!" I rolled my eyes. Then he smirked.

--------------

"This is so nice!!" I said.

"It's has two bedroom, so maybe we can share one and Mr Jace can share with Peanut!!" She said.

"Who is peanut?" I asked her.

"My pet. She's a cat!!" She said.

"A..... C....c...at..... Cat?" Jace said. I smiled.

"Why? Big Jace's scared of Cats?" I asked.

"I have a very very bad memory about them!!" He said and I giggle.

"She's lovely!!" Eliza said and she whistled. And a white cat with a bow on her hair.

"Awwn!!" I said. And Eliza carried her cat.

"Peanut, meet Lizzie, my sister and her friend.... Ja..... Where is he?" Eliza asked.

"Right he....." I turn and saw nothing but the couch.

"So he ran out!!" I said with a sly smile.

-------------------

"What's the first thing you want to do?" Eliza asked as she dished the pasta.

"Uhmm, maybe eat turkey all day tomorrow?" I asked her.

"Nah..... I rather read..... You have novels?" Jace asked.

"Novels..... Really?" Eliza asked me.

"You're here to have fun not stay indoors!!" Eliza said.

"Jace is a nerd." I said swallowing my pasta.

"Muffin..... I told you, call me anything but not a nerd!!!" He told me and I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Oh puh-lease!! You're aren't even cute!!" He said.

"I didn't beg to be called cute did I?" I asked him.

"But I'm cuter anyways." He said.

"You wish!!" I murmured.

"Really? Are you guys always like this?" Eliza asked us.

"Nah.... Not really..... Not everytime." I said. We continued eating.

"So, there's a movie we could go out and watch!!" Eliza said.

"Really? What's it about?" I asked her

"Please don't let it be mushy mushy!!" Jace repeated. Wait what? Who said 'love movies were everything?' The day before?

"Calm your balls dude. It's adventurous!!" Eliza said. I giggled

"Okay why am I the only guy here?" He asked and we both laughed. I'm sure peanut laughed.

"But I promise we'll have the best time here....." Eliza was cut in by the knock on the door.

"Excuse me!!" She said and went to take the door.

"Elizabeth....., I can't go out and you know!! Especially not in LA!!" He told me.

"Why?" I asked him.

"Cause..... I have a personality and reputation to protect!!" He told me. I thought about it. Even my Dad talked about his father or something.... And he was he was scared cause he's doing what is wrong.... He's so mischievous.

"Jace I'm sorry. But..... You could actually go out....." I said then gasped and gave him a mischievous grin.

"What are you up to?" He asked.

"You'll know..... Tomorrow morning!!" I told him.

"Elizabeth, don't even think of...."

"Stop talking peeps. We're having a visitor!!" Eliza said.

"Who is that?" I asked her. She blushed.

"My boyfriend!!" She said.

"His name is Ian so......"

"Ian Henderson?" Jace asked her.

"Yup. How did you know him?" Eliza asked.

"I gotta go!!" Jace said and ran into one of the rooms.

"What's the problem?" She asked him.

"Jace can't mix or talk with many people. His identity has to be hidden!!" I told her.

"Well, he's got a p you know. There's a lot of places to know!!" She told me.

"I know. I have to see him!!" I told her and went to the room.

"Hey!!" I told him.

"Hey..... I'm sorry I just....."

"Shhh. I understand!!" I told him. He was sitting at the edge of the bed. And I went to him.

"It's okay. I actually have an idea to keep your identity and you have fun too!!" I told him. He smirked and pulled me on his lap his left hand round my waist. Urgh butterflies!!

"Really?" He asked as he planted kisses on my neck.

"Yes!!" I said breathlessly. God I love it when he kisses me. Or even touches me. He went up to my jaw line and to my lips. I responded immediately and I wrapped my hands round his neck. He explored my mouth, everywhere, as i moaned in satisfaction. We made out for God's knows when. My top was already off and his shirt too. He put me on the bed and he came on top of me kissing my stomach, licking and tasting and he suddenly stopped. And rolled away, breathing heavily.

"Why'd you stop?" I asked him.

"Cause if I continue....." He said and turned so our eyes can meet.

"I'll be inside of you two minutes later!!" He said. I nod.

"Thank you!!" I said and he hugged me.

"Thank you more!!" He said and kissed my forehead.
