Chapter 19: The Ex
When we got home, I still feel the hotness of my cheeks as we enter. I still can't get over at the scene we made earlier. Shit, everytime the picture of me kissing Luke made my mind go crazy!
"There you are, Doll!" Adam exclaimed seeing me. They are all inside my kitchen again. Wow, does people still know about other people's privacy?
"Here" I handed them the breads I bought on the counter and Luke put the coffees on the dining table.
"Where have you been?" Sam nudged my shoulder with a teasing smile and pursing her lips at the direction of Luke.
I rolled my eyes at her "I just went to buy some breads because I don't know if I still have foods in my fridge.
"Really?" Trixie smirked, giving me the same look Sam is giving. I sigh, annoyingly at they are accusing me.
"You can clearly see the hidden panicked feeling in Luke's face. He ran as soon as he can when he woke up without you on his side" Marvin butted in but I already gave him the death glare making him lower his head. Beats him right.
Luke was already sitting silently on the tall stool, already eating a piece of garlic bread!
My garlic bread!
"Hey! That's mine!" I ran to him, trying to grab it because since he didn't bite too much, it can still be mine.
But Luke became stubborn and lift his hand high in the air, for me not to reach it "I already took a bite of it. So it's mine" he remained that way.
"Yeah but I bought that bread for me only. Not yours" I frowned like a child who lost it's candy.
"I didn't see a name" he retorted.
He was just sweet and kind to me a few minutes ago and then look him right now?! He seems to forgot that like on me when it comes to food. He would rather choose that bread that me!!! How dare he.
"There are still a lot garlic bread there. My saliva is already in this bread as well" he told me then a laugh came out "Or you just want something that had touched my lips? Feisty, we just~"
"~Ahh Okay!!! That bread is yours! Just shut your annoying mouth" I cut him off, not wanting and blushinly left the kitchen, leaving the awkward tension there.
I went upstairs to my room to take a quick warm shower because I am too sweaty already. After that, I dressed into my red long sleeves cotton shirt with a v neckline and a short denim shorts. I tied my hair in a high ponytail then wore my favorite pairs of yellow slippers.
I got back down and saw everyone eating the breads I bought and I am very grateful no one has touched my garlic breads. So happy...
"So what are your plans after graduation?" Adam asked the others as I sat down on the chair.
"Of course, college" Marvin answered with a chuckle.
"Be more serious, Marvin. This is the first time I became serious" Adam said in a very unlikely tone.
"Well, if you ask me, I wanted to be a chef" Sam said first with a grin. "I always wanted to be a famous baker someday and have my own bake shop"
"Wow, that surely is amazing" Marvin smiled sweetly at her and planted her face with small kisses.
"Hey, Hey! No kissing when I'm around!" I slammed the table causing for them to pull away.
"You're so bitter" Sam muttered making everyone laugh at me.
I rolled my eyes again and lean on my chair, with my arms crossed "Nya, nya, I just hate PDA in front of me"
"Okay, how about you Luke" they turned the questioned the silent Luke, eating on the corner. "What do you plan after high school? Gonna continue your Dad's legacy?"
"Legacy?" I questioned.
"Luke's family owns Carter Apparel" Marvin stated, making the girls gasp in surprise to hear that.
Carter Apparel is a very famous and successful clothing company. Don't tell me, his Father is~
"What's the name of your Dad?" I asked him.
Luke didn't hesitate to answer "Arnold Carter"
Oh my God...
Arnold Carter used to be my Mom's business partner and friend but something happened in the company that made Mom and Arnold cancel the deal between them. But right now, based from what I know, they are rivals.
"How about you, George? What do you plan after graduation?" they turn to me.
Me? What is my plan after graduation? Well, it is already planned after all.
"Well, I am still not sure yet but maybe...go to college?" I smiled cheekily as I joke.
"Yeah, Haha, nice one, Einstein" Dane muttered making everyone laugh caused me to make a fake one.
There is no way I am going tell them about my departure to Italy. I will surely tell them but...
Not yet.
It's better this way.
No worries and sadness. I will tell them at the right time when I am sure of what is going to happen.
❇❇❇❇❇
The next day, it's the start of school again and I am so lazy to go. I feel like I wanted to just lay down on my bed, daydreaming about something.
So when I parked my car, I noticed that the others' car is still not here. Guess maybe that I am too early even though I am so lazy to go. I dig my hand inside my bag to get my phone and texted Sam and Trixie that I am already here in school.
But as I was texting, I heard a car coming and I raised my head from texting and saw Luke's car parking next to mine. Yey, someone familiar.
Once the handsome and hot creature came out, I feel like every thing turns slow, my surrounding silence, and my legs soften as he slowly approaches me with a hot effortless expression.
"Good morning" I greeted with a smile.
Luke chuckled and just replied "My morning is already good because of you"
I scoffed playfully and slap his chest for the cheesy pick up line "I guess we are both early. The others are still not here"
"Adam and Marvin's butts are on their way " he said, as we started walking to the school. Everyone was staring at us again as we walk at the hallway. I hate popularity the most.
But as we walk, I felt Luke's hand wrap around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him, making the hallway filled with ear-smashing scream and squeal at us.
Luke!!! You son of a bitch!
"What the heck?!" I pushed him away as we reach my locker. "What was that for?"
"Just to tease them" he shrugged his shoulders and leaned on the wall "No big deal, Feisty. Those people doesn't have anything to do so I just want to give them something to talk about"
"Luke, they might have the wrong idea. They might say...Oh look, Georgina has a new boy toy to play with or something like that" I said, with a slight frown. "Is that okay with you if you have that kind of impression to everyone?"
"I'm fine with it as long as if it is you" he answered, walking closer to me, trapping me between him and and my locker.
I just laughed and pushed him away "You, asshole" I muttered, a slight of happiness touched my heart at how corny he is.
"C'mon, admit it" he snakes his hands on my waist with a teasing grin "You like me talking sweet and hot at you" he leans his face closer until his nose touches mine.
"You are so full of yourself, aren't you?" I flirted back, giving him the same smirk as he pushed my body more on the locker. Okay, this is what boyfriend and girlfriend people would do.
I was ready for a kiss but instead, I felt his breathe on my ear "But still, I won't make a move until you make the first move" he whispered, leaving me there hanging and my jaw dropped.
"I am just giving the spying man out there a show that he doesn't deserve" he whispered again.
At the corner of my eye, he was right. There is a spying man...
Again, though.
It was Frank with an angry expression in his face like he is ready to punch Luke's face.
It's been so long since I last saw him.
"Why is he watching us?" I questioned a little confused.
"Don't know and don't care" he muttered, pushing himself away from me "Just don't let him get near you if you want to forget him"
"Of course" I nod my head.
Luke sigh then he looked down on his phone and said "The boys are here. Let's go?"
"Yeah...erm...uh wait" I said, arranging my locker to get my things in my bag then Luke and I went to our place where the others are.
But still, why is Frank watching us?
I can't get his face out of my mind. What are those emotions playing in his eyes? Are those anger? Revenge? Or could it be...hurt? Pain? So many questions in my mind right now.
❇❇❇❇
"Nice work, everybody!" Couch clapped her hands as we finally finished our cheerleading dance. "You did a great job, Georgina. That's why you always have my trust"
"Thanks, Coach!" I grin at her as we all ran to the cheerleader's locker room. I wiped my sweats away with my white clean towel. Gosh, I am so exhausted.
Starting from 4:30 pm and now it's 8:00pm. That was a very long practice but it is worth it.
"George, are you gonna shower?" one of the cheerleader and great friend of mine, Carla asked.
"No. I will just take one at home" I anwered with a smile "Goodbye, ladies! Great job today! Sorry but I really have to go" I wave at them and then left the room, carrying my backpack and ran to the parking lot.
As I was unlocking my car, I heard footsteps behind me, causing me to turn around and reached for my pepper spray as I feel it coming closer.
A strong hand yanked my shoulder giving me the chance to spray in his face quickly.
The man grunted in pain and fell on his knees. My eyesbrows frown seeing who it was. "Frank? Are you insane?!"
"Insane? Isn't that supposed to be my line?" he hissed in pain, covering his eyes and muttering heavy words "Fuck! This is so fucking painful!"
"It isn't my fault that you suddenly appear behind me. I thought you were a kidnapper or something" I said in a worried tone.
"Ouch" he slowly opened his bloody red eyes and blinked it multiple times "Shit."
"Well don't blame this on me, idiot. It's your fucking fault too, you know. You deserved it" I rolled my eyes at him.
Remember what Luke said, Georgina.
I sigh and unlocked my car and I was about to open it when Frank called me again, still blinking "Wait, George...please let's talk"
I awkwardly look at him, gripping my car door right "Talk right now?"
"Yes, George. Right now" he sigh, his eyes soften as he put his hand in his pocket.
No, don't let him, George! Fight it! He had hurt you so bad without any pity.
"George~"
"~Jane is probably waiting for you, Frank. You should go" I avoided his gaze as I attempted to leave him again but he kept on stopping me.
"Please, George. This is the only chance I can talk to you without your boy toy"
"He is not my boy toy" I snapped at him, getting inside the car but for the fourth time, he stopped me but this time, he grab my hand...
No more sparks...
"Georgina, I know what I had done to you. Yes, I hurt you, I cheated on you but I still love you" he confessed making me froze.
He still loves me?
But still nothing. I felt nothing anymore. Luke and everyone helped me to move on and forget everything Frank did to me.
"I love you, George. Jane was a mistake and...and..."
"And what, Frank? You two had done it already. It takes two to tango" I stated, running my hands through my face "It may be a mistake but you still didn't leave her after that. You two still see each other behind my back. You didn't regret that there is something happened between you two!"
"Yes, I admit I didn't leave her after that and we continued seeing each other after that but George, I regret it. I regret it so much. I love you, and only you. Please...give me a second chance. I promise you that I will never ever hurt you again" his eyes were pleading and watery.
Frank is gonna cry.
Oh my.
"Frank..."
"Please, Georgina. I love you and I am sorry. I will still support my child with Jane but you will be only my choice" he begged.
I sigh and avoided his eyes. I can't look at him right now. Frank never begs or ask for something like that. In our whole relationship, it was me who first give up and ask for forgiveness. But it just turns around.
"I-I can't, Frank. Leave me alone" I told him, strongly before entering my car and closing it. He is still kneeling down with pleading eyes as I drive away.
You made the right decision, George. He doesn't deserve any forgiveness.
I did a great job, right?
Yes, I hate him.
But still, there is still a soft side of me that makes me want to forgive him but when I recall the things he did to me...
My heart breaks apart. I can't give him another chance after all what he has done.
Luke...
He had helped me so much, I won't let that trust be broken as Well.
