《The Girl Who Never Smiles | ✔️》Chapter 23

"Zoe we are going there for ONE week not 5, take that shit out!" I yell at Zoe and kick the 3rd suitcase she has.
Today is the day we go to Alaska. Issac is picking Zoe and I up last...so that's in like 45 minutes. The car will take us to the airport. I think someone is driving the car for us. I am packed and ready. Zoe on the other hand can't close her 3rd suitcase.
"All you need is one suitcase and a tote or something. The hell is wrong with you!"
You see, this is why me and Zoe are very different. We may both love fashion and style, but she goes overboard. She can't go on a road trip for 1 week without packing clothes for months. She is crazy.
"It's my jackets and stuff."
"Stuff as in EVERYTHING. Listen, figure this out because Issac will be here in 40 minutes. Only bring one huge suitcase and bring your tote. Knowing Victoria and her friends, they will be taking up most of the space.
"And change your clothes. We aren't in Alaska yet" I say and walk out the room. Zoe literally has on mid thigh boots, thick jeans, a sweater, and a jacket. Why would you need to wear Alaska clothes now? I am wearing a gray cami top with black jeans and my uggs.
I walk back into my room and my big suitcase and my big tote bag is right next to my dresser.
I roll my suitcase downstairs with my bag and once we reach the bottom, my mom is waiting for me downstairs. She hands me two credit cards I take them and put them in my pocket.
"Each card has 1,000 dollars. Don't burn it off carelessly. You know what to do?
"Yes"
"OK. I heard some horn honking outside. Your friends must be early." My mom says and walks away. "Have fun, be safe" she mutters.
"ZOE LETS GO" I yell. Leo walks over to me with an apple in his hand and his curly brown hair bouncing on his head.
"You gonna miss me Leo?" I ask.
"Hell no. I hope you get lost in Alaska. I hope the bears feed on you. I will finally have the chance to destroy your room." He smirks and takes a bite of his apple.
"I always knew you were the devil incarnate." I say and walk away. "Love you my curly headed freak."
Zoe comes down with thankfully one suitcase and her big tote bag.
"You have your ID?"
"Yeah" she says and I hand her the credit card mom made for her.

"Put this in you wallet now and don't lose it. I don't want to share my money with you." I say and take out my credit card and put it in my wallet.
She puts her hand on her chest and looks at me. "Well then bitch." she says and puts the card in her wallet and tucks it in her tote.
"Lets go" I say and open the door and walk out the house with Zoe behind me. Issac and Armani walk out the car and to us. Armani takes Zoe's stuff and Issac takes mine.
"You have a sweater?" he asks
"Yup."
"You excited to go on our biggest adventure yet?"
"Not really." I say and walk away.
"You know I can tell when you are lying."
"Really?" I ask and Issac places my suitcase in the huge trunk of the car. We walk inside the van and the first thing I notice is the scowls of Victoria and Sienna on me. Cartier is sitting with her boyfriend and they are in their own bubble.
"Alright John, we could go" Issac says and sits next to me. The driver drives off and to the airport.
"I'm tired. I can't believe I woke up at 5:30 a.m. You owe me a lot of chocolate. Can I use you as my pillow?"
"Sure." he says and lifts his arm up and I tuck myself into him and he wraps his arm around me. I fall asleep peacefully surrounded by Issac's sweet aroma.
....
"This is your plane?" I ask Armani.
"Yup" he says and walks up the stairs and inside the 5 bedroom jet. I follow behind him and when I enter the jet, my eyes widen at how beautifully decorated this place is. The theme is gold. The seats are golden as well as the tables. The tables have wine glasses on it as well as bottles of wine on each table. I can already smell that food has already been made. The jet isn't too cold, which is new for me.
"Alright. Here are the rules: If you break something, I will kick you out my plane, whether we are in the air or not. There are 5 bedrooms. The biggest one is obviously saved for Cartier and I. I don't care who sleeps with who and in whichever of the other 4 rooms. There are 3 bathrooms. Clean it after use. Don't make a mess. And Asher please don't bang the flight attendant in the kitchen area...again. I really don't want to have to think about having your jizz in my food. And don't fight over the rooms. There is still a comfortable lavish seat for you to sleep on." he says and takes Cartier's hand and walks away. I look to Zoe with my suitcase in hand. She looks at me and then we already know what to do. We rush to a room.

We quickly find a huge room to stay in. It is a white and blue themed room. The bed has a white sheet on it and a folded blue duvet draped on the edge of the bed. There are blue throw pillows on the bed and write above the bed is a little compartment that has a white vase and candle that is unlit. I roll my suitcase right in the corner of the room and so does Zoe.
"I will be right back." I say and skip off to find what room Issac is staying in. I pass through all the rooms. Cartier and Armani are in their room and he was right. It is the biggest room. It practically has its own living room in it and the bed is huge. Asher is in his room arguing with Sienna because she wants to stay with him. I walk to the next room , which has to be Issac's. I walk into the room with a smile on my face feeling excited for this trip.
"Hey Issac, I-"
When I walk into the room, Issac and Victoria are talking to each other. She is very close to Issac who is standing near the window. When they hear my voice, Victoria spins around and Issac just looks up at me. A smirk makes its way to Victoria's face and I don't even look at Issac knowing that my eyes will give away how i am feeling right now.
"Uh sorry" I mutter and walk back to my room.
"Bay!" Issac yells
I continue walking faster and faster to my room not wanting to acknowledge Issac or whatever he was doing with Victoria. I walk into my room to see Zoe drawing in her sketchbook on the bed. Issac walks inside the room and looks at me.
"It wasn't what it looks like." Issac pleads.
"Ok imma go." Zoe says and takes up her sketchbook and art supplies and leaves the room and closes the door.
"Issac, I don't care it wasn't my business." I say and turn my back to him and dig through my tote looking for my book. Issac comes behind me and removes a strand of hair from my ear and tucks it behind my ear leaving tingles everywhere he touched me.
"Your words don't align with your actions." he whispers in my ear.
I turn around. Big mistake because my face is merely inches from Issac's. I nearly bumped into him. It's kind of odd because I remember when we first met, I was a foot below him. Now I am no longer 5'3. I am 5'5
"Issac..." i breathe out through my ragged breathing. I look up into his eyes and I find myself transfixed at the shade of blue his eyes are right now.
"Nothing happened. She wanted to stay in my room. I turned her down of course."
"OK..."
"Why did you care Bay?"
"I didn't" I say and push past him and climb up on the bed and sit criss crossed.
I can feel the plane beginning to move underneath me and I already know in about 6 minutes, the plane will take off.
"She is just toxic and when you are around her you become angry and I don't like seeing you mad." I say honestly because I don't like seeing Issac angry. His eyes aren't that warm, welcoming shade of grey. It's a stormy gray.
"I am tired now." Issac says and yawns. "Oh hey what about my massage?" he says with a dorky smile on his face causing me to chuckle.
"Soon."
"When is soon?"
"Stop asking me questions."
"Fine" he says and lays down on the bed. "Come" he says and opens his arm. I lay down and scoot over and into his arms so he spoons me.
"Why does your hair always smell like strawberries? It's like the scent never fades."
I shrug my shoulder and nestle into his warm embrace.
Zoe.
" Let's go to your room." i say and get up and head for the door.
"Why?"
"If Zoe wants to sleep or something, she could have the room. I did drag her on this trip in the first place. The least I could do is let her have the room." I say and navigate my way through the hallway. I look inside Asher's room and he is laying down looking up at the ceiling. Sienna and Victoria are in the same room, but Victoria doesn't look so happy about that. We walk into Issac's room and I crawl onto his bed and lay down. He lays down and he spoons me again.
"Hey Issac, what bands are playing at this concert?"
"Uh...Imagine Dragons, i think. Maybe AC/DC but that is most likely a rumor. Some other bands. Armani knows this stuff." He says and yawns. I nod my head and move in closer to him and rest my head on his arm and close my eyes.
He kisses the top of my head and rests his head on top of mine.
"Sweet dreams Bay"
I slip into sleep before I could answer Issac.

8 132Artemis
"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.
8 266Fire on Fire
"This is so wrong ..." Emma breathed out against his lips when he pinned her up against the wall."Is it?" Alexander echoed, slipping his hands underneath her large sweater, grazing her lips."She's my friend ..." Emma argued weakly, albeit unwilling to push him off."Don't think about it." He merely replied, starting to nibble on her neck.As his lips nipped down on her sensitive skin, Emma let out a breathless moan and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, so that he could hook her legs around his torso, effectively seizing her in his arms. The walk to his bedroom was short, and before she could say anything, she found herself on his bed, him hovering over her. His every touch was inebriating, the way his lips knew exactly where to go in order for her to lose sight of her moral duties, the way his hands skillfully caressed every inch of her skin, as if savoring it in advance, was driving her insane. And when she met his fiery gaze, Emma knew she was doomed. She had no chance but to surrender to this devil that was tempting her, pushing her towards something that - she was well aware - would be difficult to give up on once set in motion.
