Bailey's pov
When I thought I could feel relieved, that was not the case as Mira picked up the bracelet from the floor, pinching it between her fingers as her brows furrowed, eyeing it with a strange gleam.
"It is," Her words come out confused and surprised, her eyes lifting to brother's. Her eyes narrowed
as she stood up with the bracelet in her hold.
She eyed her brother accusingly, one of her brows arching up in question. " Kaleb. What is Bailey's bracelet doing in your room?"
My heart thrusted against my chest, my palms sweaty even more. Gone was the jealousy I felt for Jessica and replaced by stilling fear again.
I waited with my breath lodged in my throat, waiting for what he would respond with. I hope he could come up with something good.
But that hope dwindle when he just lifted a shoulder into a casual shrug. " I don't know Mira. Maybe you two were trying to prank me in my room and it slipped.”
His voice was calm, as though we were not on the edge of getting exposed.
Mira's button nose wiggle, her brows furrowing. I can somehow see the gears turning in her head as she thought of any possible reason my bracelet would be in Kaleb's room.
" Bails and I didn't plan any freaking prank on you. She's grounded remember? What time would she get here so we can do the prank?"
Kaleb walked over to her and flicked her forehead, causing her to wince and glower at him." I'm talking about last night genius, or this morning before school.”
Mira hummed, her lips pinching as she looked at the bracelet. * I did notice it was gone earlier...and I did send her to your room last night to get the blow dryer you took from me.” Her brows crunch. * Maybe it did slip.”
" Bingo. Now you got your answer, get out of my room," He nudged her shoulder lightly using his hand.
Mira sneered, huffing and turning around. " So eager to sleep with another of your bitches.”
Mira turned around to say over her shoulder. " Hey Jessica, you're not the only girl he'll sleep with tonight so don't think you're special. And don't fucking come to me tomorrow to whine and cry. I warned you."
The relieved breath I was about to let out snagged back again in my throat, making my eyes sting. I know Mira didn't know it was me in there and thought it was Jessica but her words stung me deeply because I knew she was right and I know I was just another girl Kaleb had successfully tackled.
I was just another girl.
" And you two better be fucking quiet! If I hear one word, I'm telling dad and mom." She warned Kaleb.
My throat burned when I heard the door close behind her, my fingers shaking as I try to reel in my emotions.
It feels painful to face reality but it was necessary.
Kaleb locks the door and strolls over to the closet. I bit my lip, blinking my eyes quickly to remove any signs of tears and swallowed.
He opened the door, his eyes dropping on my figure curled in the corner and nearly buried by his hanging clothes. He smirked, eyes raking over my figure. * Shall we resume where we left off?" His voice is silky and seductive but I refuse to succumb to his skillful seductive skills.
Screw him. I will not be another girl tonight or any other night.
I glared at him and his grin slips from his face slowly, his brows drawing together in confusion. He reaches for me but I brush passed him and headed for the window but Kaleb fingers wrap around my arm and stopped me.
" Flower-
I whirled around, scowling as I pull my arm out of his hold. * Leave me alone Kaleb," I gestured to us. "This will never happen again, got it. I will never make that mistake again.”
His eyes narrowed and saw the flicker of hurt in his eyes, but he concealed it just as quick as it appeared. " Is that what you call it? A mistake? Are you finally admitting we slept together last night?"
I lift my hand up in frustration. * Goddammit Kaleb, think what you freaking want, okay? And I'm talking about tonight and in the bathroom at school. Kissing you was a mistake," I pointed at his chest, accusing him. " You know how to seduce and catch me off guard.”
Kaleb raised a brow, his arms crossing over his chest causing his muscles to flex. I cursed inwardly at the slight throb between my legs, ashamed that such a simple thing can make me so needy for him. God. What the hell did this guy turn me into?
" You're the one who is allowing yourself to be seduced Bailey. If you didn't want it, you would've pushed me away," He grumble, seeming upset by my words. * Don't put the blame on me."
I seethed, hating that he was right. " Why are you even trying to seduce me Kaleb? Just yesterday you hated my guts.” I spat. It was true, we never got along and as far as I know it, Kaleb never tries to get with the same girl more than twice.
Kaleb's brows furrowed, his eyes softening. " I never hated you flower." He takes a step forward, his hand reaching for my hair. He plays with a strand and I crane my neck to look at him, perplexed by his words.
"How can I ever hate someone like you?" His voice is soft, and his eyes are back to being heated. I flush, my stomach raging with butterflies once again. I'm angry at myself which makes me more angry at him.
I slapped his hand, making him move it from my hair. I glared. " Don't touch me. And stay away from me. I don't want this." I gestured between us again.
"1 don't want whatever this is. And you're the last guy I'd ever see myself with. I'd rather die than be with a manwhore like you." I spat and regretted it instantly when I saw the pain and hurt that flashed in his eyes.
But I bit my tongue to stop the apology that wanted to come out and instead turn to the window and head for it. " Have fun with Jessica tonight. Hopefully she'll continue where we left off."
With those words I slipped out of his window and made my way to the branch. I try my best to move quickly down the tree and flinch when I hear a loud thud. I looked up to see that Kaleb had slammed his window closed and pulled the curtains shut.
