Chapter 29: Chapter 29

Padgett's POV

Why can't I have him? When he is already my boyfriend and my crush is Newton… I said not thinking twice, staring into her eyes.

My crush is Newton, you happy now good? I said more with conviction, I knew that if I hadn't said anything she wouldn't stop asking and its not like I could keep shut and decide not to say a word so instead I used Newton, since we were going to the party together, I know this is not going to end here, even though right now, we are at the mall, I am sure, by Monday, everyone in school must have heard the news.

So, is it true you like Newton? Cassie said coming close to me

For the umpteenth time, would this wicked witch leave me alone, I turned and gave her a weak smile. I already told everyone, that care to listen, yes I do, so would you let it be and go away. I said

Well you two do not look good together anyway bye now. Rhonda said giggling before leaving, I look at her with scorned, I know she love Cameron but is she also in love with Newton.

Hi! I turned to the voice only to see Newton!

What thou fuck is going on? Why does this place look like we are in school and why are they all here? Aren't they supposed to be preparing for the party.

Why are you staring like you seem a ghost? He whispered, I fake a smile.

I’m sorry, for lying to them using your name it’s just that…

You don’t have to explain I get it you wanted to rest from the bully of Cassie and Cathy, you needed to keep their mouths shut. So you don’t have to worry about it, I am fine with it.

Thanks Newton

So did you get my text?

Yeah I did but you can’t take me home I’ll be spending the night at Cameron's. I said awaiting his reaction

Cameron, I thought is Emerald. He asked shocked

Yeah his parents are a family friend and mom didn't agreed I spend the night somewhere else. I said grinning

Um! He said smiling at me then move closer. I really hope one day what you said won’t be a lie… He added then he left me, my eyes didn't leave him, I wonder what that naughty Cameron is still doing inside the mall.

Baby girl, I have to leave, someone is here to pick me.

Your driver? I asked, if he was her driver, she would had just say my driver but now, she said someone.

Stop already, you will get to meet him at the party. She peck me then hurry out, I signed then grabbed my phone to call Cameron, only to see him and Cathy coming from inside the mall, his hand is circle round her waist and she was feeding him with the ice cream in her hand, I fall my eyes as they make their way towards me, I was hoping he will be fast but no, Cathy had practically stop the movement, they are now kissing.

Cameron! I called out when It's getting frustrating.

Can't you go home, yourself? I’m busy right now… He said then whispering something to Cathy as she giggled

I should go home myself?

Yes! Go home, stop being a third wheel. He spat out

That was harsh! Cassie mocked as I felt my heart tearing inside, I really don't want to get mad, I swallow my pride

Are you mad at me or something…

Nope! why would I be? He asked looking at me. Just stop talking and leave… He said giving his attention back to Cathy, as I felt my stomach clench

Come on dear, let's drop her off.

No! He said firmly, I look at him, his attention is now on Cathy, they were all over each other, they kept kissing and cuddling nonstop, I board the next cab and left in anger.

Sitting right In the cab, my tears kept falling and kept trying to figure out what I could have done to him to make him so mad at me, when the cabman pack at my house, I realized that my wears and my house keys is inside his car.

Shit! I cursed, as soon as I realized that my key is in his car and mommy is out already. I decided to go back to his house, since I still have an hour an half left for the party.

Barely few hours, I arrived there, I met his nanny.

Good day nanny Nancy.

Oh daughter, look at you, you've grown so big. She pulled me into a hug. I was wondering, when you were going to visit, how is your mom?

She is fine, I was planning to but I was looking for the right time, don't worry nanny Nancy, I will come visit some other time for now, where is Cameron?

Oh that kid, over there, I really don't know what's up with him.

She said pointing to the room over there, I followed her direction, I just made my way towards the room, only for me to see Cameron was working on the punching bag, he is shirtless right now and he was hitting it like he was extremely angry muttering something to himself as he went harder than the previous time, I look at him surprised, he is super hot even when he does that

Like what you see… He said as I gasped in shock while he grabbed a water bottle gulping it all down as beads of sweet trailed down his abs.

What do you want Padgett? I stared at him, he had never used my name and now this.

I forgot my house key

Over there. He said as he point at the wear still inside the bag and my key inside, I move to get it, after getting it, I held the door but he still didn't say a word to me.

Fine, I did something wrong, so just spill. I moved closer to him.

When were you going to tell me, that he is your boyfriend now? He said clenching the plastic bottle

Who?

Stop acting like you don't know. He growled

I really don’t I swear…

Come off it, Cathy said you openly said he was your crush right at the mall

That witch, she really have to tell him. I thought angrily

Damn it Cam! I said that so they would stop talking… I said staring at him

So you don’t like him and why did he kept referring to you as his girlfriend?

Of cause, I don't, it's just that I’m scared of letting someone else in, I just... I said looking away

So you mean someone else is already in… He asked making me face him, as he come closer, is like he is more angry than the first words.

I guess. I said trying to create space between us.

Who? He asked, I look at him.

Please, don't, I can't say. I said mentally, he turned his gaze back to the punching bag.

“Wait, was that, what you are mad at?

“Yes it made me so furious to think you could even like him and you fucking know he is my worse enemy.

“Why? I asked breathlessly even though he had stated the reason

It's simple, he is a pig and a lowlife idiot. He said but I am still not satisfied, I stare more. He doesn't deserve you.

But he...

No creamy! I really don’t know what I’ll do to myself if he has you all to himself. He said before hitting the punching bag furiously

Can you stop punching that and go get dress, you don't want to be late for the party.

Why do I get hurt whenever you mentioned the party? Why do I feel you are lying to me, that you are already in love with him. Or maybe, he is forcing you to do that. You should tell me.

“Teach me… I said taking the gloves avoiding his questions.

What?

Please, teach me how to hit like that… I said pointing to the bag

You’re a weakling and you hit like a girl so you should pass… He said grinning

Hm! You scared of being beaten up by a girl

I don't think so, fine, I’ll teach you, come here. He said stretching out his hands

First weigh the bag… He whispered behind my ears as his hands guided mine to hold the bag

“Then used your right hand to hits it while the left hand weighs simple… He said as his hand moved to my waists making me shiver due to the contact

Give me your best shot and prove me wrong. He added once more as he hold on my waists tightened while I made an attempt to hit it

Harder! He added

I thought you said I hit like a girl. I asked but he didn't reply

Just imagine it’s the one you hate on the bag and hit harder… He whispers still holding me firmly by my waists

Trust me, the first person face that came to my mind is, Cathy. I punched very hard on it.

You must really hate that face. He said

“You have no idea… I said as I punched even harder

“You’re good at it, I'll admit… He said as I stopped to rest then throw the gloves from my hand and pushed my hand into my hair in frustration to catch my breath

It turns out this pretty can actually hit… He said as his hands trailed down my face, moving from my waist that his body is press to

Is he being truthful, am I pretty. I thought as I blushed hard turning away from him, he went back to the punching bag

“You did better than I imagined creamy. He said smirking

I told you. I said

By the way; whose face did you imagine while punching
