"YOU GUYS ARE WHAT????", Andrea, Savannah and Olivia screamed at me in sync as I covered my ears because of their screechy voices.
"Shhh guys keep it low!", I whisper yelled and brought a finger to my lips to shush them.
"Sorry. But you and Hunter are seriously a couple now?", Andrea asked in disbelief and eyes wide open.
Yesterday after Hunter proposed me, he told me he was going to resign as soon as possible from the PE teachers job. I told him no but he said he doesn't want to get in trouble nor does he want me to. He also said that we will definitely figure something out once he has a new job and he will talk to my aunt and uncle about us.
"You guys heard it right. Me and Hunter are a couple now. And I want all three of you not to tell anyone about it. I wasn't supposed to tell anyone but since you guys are my best friends, I couldn't keep it a secret from you three", I said and bit my lip in nervousness. It's true that Hunter told me not to tell anyone because he wants my aunt and uncle to be the first people to know about us.
"But he is our teacher soph. How can you both be in a relationship?", Olivia asked with confusion and concern dripping off her tongue.
"I know liv. But we couldn't fight the feelings that kept on bugging me and Hunter. And so we just.....happened", I said and smiled at the memory of the sweet words and kisses he gave me yesterday as well as the amazing times we had together.
"But soph, you have been in this town for less than a 4 months and you haven't been with Mr Hunter much. Are you sure about him?", Savannah asked with concern and I called her to come sit beside me on the bed.
"I know and what you are saying is true. But I know him enough to give him a chance, which I know he is not going to waste", I said with confidence. But deep inside, I knew that even I had my doubts on this relationship.
"Alright soph. If you trust him, we do too", Olivia said and bended down to give me a hug, which soon turned to be a group hug and it crushed me as expected.
After sometime of them teasing me and all four of us having some girly talk, Andrea and Olivia went down to the cafeteria to get something to eat. Savannah wasn't hungry so she stayed in the room with me, and she looked as if she was hiding something.
After only we two were left in the room, she came and stood beside me, taking out a paper out of her pocket as I looked at her in total confusion. She then picked my hand and wrapped my fingers around the paper, which kind of looked like a letter or something.
"Chace told me to give this to you before he left. He said he had to leave you this message in the old style because phones and any other electronics were strictly prohibited in his new school", she said and I just stared at the letter, thinking about its contents.
"I feel really bad for him Savannah. I wish I could do something so he could come back", I said her with guilt and started opening the letter.
"It's fine soph. He probably deserves it. I have told you many times not to blame yourself. This was destined to happen. Do you want me to leave and give you sometime while you read his letter?", Savannah asked and I looked at her with a thankful expression.
"I will be downstairs with the others if you need anything. I will come with them back to your room after sometime. Ok?", Savannah said and left after giving me a hug.
Thank god she is so understanding.
I slowly opened the letter completely and laughed at Chace's handwriting. It looked like a child's. But I think I should concentrate on its content.
Dear Sweet butt,
I laughed at his nickname for me. Seriously?! All he got was such a perverted name? Well, what do you expect Sophie? It's Chace. I shook my head as a smile spread over my lips again.
Hey! Umm.....I am so sorry but I have never written a letter before ........And this letter took many tries so here I go.....
As you know by now, I have been shifted to a boarding school in penselvinia, I won't be there anymore in Madison high school to trouble you or make you laugh.
But don't be sad. What I did to you on that day, I don't believe I am saying this, but I deserve to be punished. And staying away from your loved ones is a big punishment.
I couldn't meet you when you woke up and I am so sorry about that. You went into this state because of me and I didn't get the opportunity to take care of you.
Everyone thinks I am a playboy but, you are the only one who was with me and tolerated me even when I was such an asshole to you. And thanks for that.
This is not the time but I always wanted to tell you this. Please don't freak out but it's true. When the first day I bumped into you in the school corridors, I was immediately hypnotised by your chocolate brown eyes which held so much dept and secrets in it, that I wanted to explore them.
I know I have always been an asshole to you but Sophie, it's not what I wanted to be. My life situations have made me this today. We haven't talked much or hanged out and stuff, but whenever I am with you, I just feel so connected and lost in you that the world disappears around me.
I can't believe I behaved like a prick in the past, but trust me, I was influenced by my bad boy side and a few people who I can't name. So please know that I am not who I show I am.
This may be really early to confess but Sophie Wilson, I like you......a lot. Your every feature, your every move, your every word makes me like you more and more than before. I may even be in love with you but love is a strong word and so I can't tell you that yet.
I have wanted to say this to you for a very long time but I never got a chance to since you know.....our encounters always end up in fights or interruptions.
If you don't like me back, it's ok. I just wanted to confess my feelings for you and remove this heavy weight off my heart, which now feels lighter.
Lastly, what happened that day was between me and Hunter but you came in between and I accidentally.....you know.
What I did is really wrong and could have taken your life, and so I am really sorry.
I know sorry is not enough for what I did, but I can still try. Right?
Anyways, if you are reading this letter, you are probably awake and so, welcome back sweet butt ;)
That's all I have to say. Take care of yourself and I hope to see you soon. Sorry once again and please forgive me :(
Your debtor,
Chace ;)
As I read and finished his letter, I felt some liquid going down my cheek which then fell on the paper. Tears! His letter made me cry. He always makes me cry, even when he is a good boy.
But that's when it hit me like a truck, Chace likes me? That means two guys have confessed their feelings for me. Shit! I am in a bloody love triangle. I hate these love triangles with all my heart because they are so confusing and hard. Ughhh!!! I have to find a way to talk to Chace and clarify this thing further with him. Does he actually like like me or does he like me as a friend? I feel like I am losing it and my head is already injured.
"What are thinking beautiful?", I suddenly heard hunter asking me while entering the room. He had gone home to change, eat and freshen up. As he came towards me, I quickly hid the letter under my pillow and thanked god he didn't see it.
"Oh hey hunter! What are you doing here?", I asked suddendly and he raised his eyebrow in confusion at my stupid question.
"Are you okay? Because I am here for you and you know that", he said and smiled awkwardly because of my weird behaviour.
"Oh yeah haha! You came to meet me. Sorry", I said and face palmed myself in my imagination for acting so stupid. Alright Sophie, act cool like nothing happened. But should I tell Hunter that another guy also confessed his feelings for me? I think I should tell him.
"Helloooo?", Hunter snapped his fingers in front of my face to get my attention. When I looked at him, he shook his head gesturing in what's wrong manner.
"Oh sorry you were saying something", I smiled awkwardly and asked him.
"Are you actually fine? You look really lost and tensed", Hunter asked and looked at me in concern.
I think this is the right time to tell him about Chace.
"Uhhh Hunter, I wanted to talk to you something really important", I said and he shook his head in approval and told me to continue.
"This is about Chace", I told him and his face, which was so happy and soft suddenly turned into an angry and his eyes filled with hatred.
"What do you want to talk about him?", he growled at me and I flinched at his change of behavior. When he noticed that I was not comfortable with his sudden change of behavior, his face softened and he looked at me apologetically.
"I am sorry. Yeah so you were saying?", he asked and sat back on his chair, folding his arms and listening to me attentively.
"Umm Chace has been sent to a boarding school in penselvinia and because of that, he couldn't talk to me before leaving. That's why he left a letter for me and it says that he-", I was cut off as I was reaching the main topic by the door opening and my three best friends coming inside with trays filled with food and drinks.
"Yo guys, what's up?", Andrea asked and I knew she was acting so awkwardly because now she knew that me and Hunter were a couple.
"Oh hey guys, looks like Sophie is not alone now", Hunter said but I saw irritation in his eyes because they interrupted us, well they are my best friends, they can do this.
"I must be going. I have some work to do so take care, okay?", Hunter asked and ran a hand on my head in a affectionate manner, and I nodded my head while smiling at him. Before I could do anything else, he took my hand and sneakily put a paper in it, wrapping my fingers around the small paper to hide it. He mouthed me 'read it' and left after saying goodbye to everyone in the room.
"So what were you guys talking about?", Olivia came next to me after all three of them put the trays on the coffee table which came with the sofa in the room. Nowadays, I am more in the hospital bed than my own one.
"Nothing much, just a regular conversation and stuff", I lied to them because I can't tell anyone about Chace yet. I don't want his feelings to be public.
"Oh ok", Savannah said and looked at me, mouthing the word 'letter' and I nodded my head at her in a yes that I read the letter.
After some time of us four having food, drinks and girl time together, they finally left at night around 9pm. Soon my doctor came in for the regular checkup and informed me that I was recovering quite quickly. I asked her when would I get discharged and she said maybe 2 weeks or less.
As the doctors left to let me test, I was finally alone and so I took out hunters note to read it. I hope it's something good.
Dear Sophie,
We are now more than friends, but we never went on a proper date. I don't like to beat around the bushes so I would come straight to the point, miss Sophie Wilson, will you go on a date with me? I wanna take you on this date desperately so please say yes :(
I will give you time until your discharged. The day you leave the hospital, I will be standing outside it, waiting for you to come and give me my answer. Until then, I won't be coming to meet you because I have some work to take care of and also because I want to give you plenty of time to think for your answer.
Yours and only yours,
Hunter
I didn't see this coming. But obviously, now that we are a couple, we would go on many dates. But he had said he didn't want us to be seen in public, what will he do now? I will ask him the day he comes to meet me. I think I have plenty of time to think an answer for him, so I should probably sleep now.
Few days later.....
Today I will be discharged from the hospital and I couldn't thank god enough for blessing me to get well soon. The doctor had told me 2 weeks but they discharged me after 1 and a half week. It didn't make much of a difference but I was really happy to go outside the hospital after soo long. It's almost 2 months so it is long duration.
I still had a small bandage on my forehand where the glass had scratched but other than that, everything was fine. My new stitches had started to lighten up but they will still visible and obviously leave a mark.
It's a bit hard for me to walk properly since I was always lying or sitting on the bed for continuous 2 months. The only time I got up was to go to the washroom, but for that also there was always someone to help me balance and take me to the washroom. It was awkward but I had no choice since the doctor said that the head injury would sometimes make my vision blur and that's why it was dangerous for me to go anywhere unsupervised for a few more days.
As I was packing my bag, I remembered that today I have to give Hunter an answer if I am going on a date with him or no, and my answer is ready. My aunt and uncle are outside filling the discharge forms and stuff whereas Andrea and Olivia are here to help me in the packing. My aunt had bought a lot of cloths for me to wear in the hospital when I told her I didn't like the hospital gown because it was really baggy and had disgusting smell and stains on it.
After we were done with the packing, we left the room after checking the room one last time if we left something behind. We then saw my aunt and uncle who were waiting for me at the reception. My uncle came and took my bag from my hands.
As soon as I stepped outside the hospital, I was greeted with the cold air which made me shiver. It was November and winter had started replacing summer. Thank god I was wearing enough warm cloths to walk in this cold or else I would have turned to an ice cream.
I saw around me but I didn't find Hunter anywhere. He had written in the note that he will be waiting outside the hospital for me. Maybe he couldn't come due to some work. I will later go home and call him.
"Soph, me and Andy should now leave as your aunt and uncle will take you home. We will come to meet you tomorrow at your house", Olivia said and Andrea agreed with her.
"It's fine girls. You can leave because it's already 8pm now. You must go home and thanks a lot dears for taking care of Sophie", aunt said and gave them both a hug. They both said they will come to meet me tomorrow and will bring some lessons from school which I have missed during this time.
After they left and we reached home, rose and jack helped me go to my room and left me to rest after making sure I was fine. When I was alone in my room, I went through my stuff and realized how much I missed these. Specially my cute comfy white bed.
I sat on my bed and felt amazing when the soft silky sheets touched my butt. Oh how I love my room so much! The soft feeling immediately made me feel sleepy and so I went to the washroom to change into my comfy pajamas. I settled on a white loose shirt and a grey track pant which was lose for me. I don't care how I look at home as long as I am comfortable. Once I braided my hair and did my other business in the washroom, I went outside to my room and was shocked to see that my window was open, but I remember that it was closed. Maybe it wasn't locked I guess and opened because of the windy cold air outside.
I locked the window and pulled the curtains close to cover the window and jumped on my bed, switching of the lights. As soon as I laid back on it, I immediately started to fall asleep but then I remembered that Hunter didn't come to meet me. Let's see tomorrow. I started to drift off to sleep but then I felt a presence in my room, but when I saw, there was no one. Maybe I am just imagining things.
I tried to sleep again but I heard something fall and when I opened my eyes, I saw a dark figure holding a vase and standing near my night stand. I was going to scream but the dark figure jumped on my bed and covered my mouth before I could scream.
"Shhh Sophie it's Hunter", I switched on the lights on my night stand and was met with a pair of blue eyes looking at me. I nodded my head and he removed his hands off my mouth.
"How did you get in my room?", I asked shocked and trying to recover from my shock.
"I came in from the window. It wasn't locked", he said and I nodded my head.
"Did you read the note?", he asked and I nodded my head again in positive.
"So?", he asked as he settled on the bed beside me.
"Y-yes", I said and his face immediately brightened up and he smiled at me as I smiled at him back.
"What?", he asked again to clarify and jumped in front of me, making me laugh at his clumsiness.
"Yes, I will go on a date with you Hunter", I said again and his smile brightened further, showing off his cute dimples and perfect teeth.
"Really??", he asked excitedly again and I nodded my head. Before I could say anything else, he claimed my lips in a sweet yet aggressive kiss.
For a few seconds, I sat there shocked but finally started to respond to his kiss. He wrapped his hands around my waist pulling me closer to his body as I wrapped my hands around his neck, pulling him closer to me. Soon he wrapped his hands around my hips and picked me up, pulling me onto his lap as I wrapped my legs around his waist, leaving no space for even air to pass between us. Even when we were so close, we still continued pulling each other closer.
Soon I felt the bed touch my back and Hunter on top of me between my legs. He continued to kiss me and our surroundings disappeared. His hands went to my back and inside my shirt, caressing my back and he growled at me, exploring my back further going down further towards my butt.
He deepened the kiss by entering my mouth and exploring it with his tongue as his hands reached my butt and squeezed it, making me moan. He then left my lips and kissed my jaw, making me close my eyes because of the tingling feeling in my body and stomach. He started going further down, now kissing my neck as I looked at my right side to grant him better access. He went further down after trailing his lips from my neck to my chest, pulling my shirt above so that he could see my body. He came back up to my lips and started kissing me there. My eyes were closed and I opened them to look at him, but instead of meeting a pair of blue eyes, I was greeted with brown ones, they looked familiar, like the ones which belongs to.....Chace.....
Feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been thrown on me, I immediately pushed hunter back and sat up straight on my bed with a jerk, as he looked at me in confusion, his eyes dark and filled with desire. But when he saw my face, he immediately recovered and looked at me in concern.
"Are you fine?", he asked and I nodded my head, looking embarrassed.
"I think we shouldn't go any further", I said and he looked at me apologetically.
"I am sorry, I just got carried away. Your right, we should stop", he said and gave me an assuring smile.
"I should be going now. The date is tomorrow at 8pm. I will pick you up. Ok?", he informed me and I smiled, nodding at him.
After he left me, I laid down on the bed and thought about what just happened with me. I was kissing Hunter then how can I imagine it was Chace? I thought I liked Hunter but today's incident made me think twice of my decision of saying yes to Hunter to be his girlfriend. I can't fall for Chace simultaneously, I can't betray Hunter. He is such a nice guy. Maybe I should spend some more time with Hunter, maybe then I can forget Chace. Yes, I should wait and see.
God!!! Why did you make my life so complicated????
