《Keeping Lennox》Chapter Eight
Advertisement
For the rest of the afternoon, Cassie attempted to avoid eye contact with me. I would notice her staring, and when I looked up, she immediately turned her head. I could tell she was still embarrassed by the whole Kayla and Michael encounter.
I happened to think she was very cute when she was embarrassed. Wait, what I am I thinking?
.............
Cassie's POV
Wade kept staring at me during class. I knew he was. Even when I wasn't looking, I could feel his gaze on me. Michael's question still had me going. Why couldn't I just admit my feeling for Wade? The worst he could do is turn me down.
I decided against it, but I did wonder what it would be like if Wade and I were to date. We would be a family. Me, him, and Lennox.
No, no, no. This is so wrong. I shouldn't be thinking about us as a couple.
Ding, ding, ding.
Crap, there is the bell. That means, it is time to go home.
And I am riding in the car with Wade. What am I doing?
................
Tori's POV
Wade Bentley is going to get it. I know he came over to my house with that girl. And I know my mom invited them. He got to see Lennox. This was not part of the plan. He can't see her when he pleases. This is my daughter. I can make my own choices for her. My mother can't do this to me.
I am glad that I decided to put a spy out in my yard. Wade Bentley and his new girlfriend will never set foot in this house again.
Not if I have anything to do with it.

All of my peach milk comes exploding out my nose. I instantly grab a hand full of napkins, patting my face and the table dry, so does Jin. "What did you say?" I ask, in absolute denial. He wipes my chin dry, smiling. " I said, you look cuter when you're chubbier" He looks into my eyes and smiles.------Way more of a crack fic than it seems, trust me. 1st place Seokjin Her Award

"Hey Gamma." Alice giggles looking up to me, not even noticing that Jay has gone. Her cheeks have a pink hue to them from all the Vodka, her eyes are full of mischief as she goes to take another sip. I quickly grab the drink from her hand before it can reach her lips and throw it away into a nearby bush without a second thought. "Yeah, you're done with that, Wonderland." I grin at her as she scowls at me."Hey!" Alice protests. She gets to her feet, a little wobbly. Then stands on the log she was just sat on, so she is at my height. She puts her hands on her hips and scrunches up her eyes as if to try and get me into focus. "I'm not scared of you, Gamma! You can't just take a girls drink you know!" She slurs out as she pokes my chest now with an accusing index finger. Anyone else would be in a world of pain for talking to me like this, but all I want to do is pull her into my arms and kiss her till her lips are bruised and swollen. She's fucking adorable when drunk. Not giving a fuck if anyone's watching us or not, I step forward, crowding right into her space making her physically gulp at our proximity."I don't scare you huh?" I growl at her in a deep but quiet voice. She bites her lip, but not out of fear, she likes it when I talk to her like this. "You don't look like the big-bad-wolf to me." She whispers."What do I look like to you?" I rasp out quietly as her fingertips continue featherlight touches to my lips."I don't know...something..." She breathes, her eyes crease with both confusion and fascination.----------Labelled as having a dangerous wild wolf, Alice is left feeling isolated on her family's farm for most of her childhood.
