EPISODE 32

Catherine's POV:

Of all people, I wasn't expecting whom I saw.

"Get in," he repeated. My leg started moving towards the car, I had no other option, there was no available bus and it was raining heavily.

I had to do something.

"What brought you here?" I asked him as soon as I got inside the car.

He turned to face me and smirked. "I just thought of you immediately when I saw the rain, you don't have a car so count this as a favor from me." He responded and leaned over to buckle the seatbelt on me.

His face was very close to mine, I could smell him, his scent, his cologne, it was all over me.

After buckling the seatbelt he sat back and winked at me.

"Let's go!" He said and he hit the gas.

Anitra Steele. What is your purpose in my life exactly? Are you a bad omen or a good one? I am getting confused.

Sometimes he acts good to me and the other time he spends trying to spite me.

I don't understand him at all.

Throughout the ride I watch him discreetly. He was handsome. Rough black hair, ocean blue eyes and cherry lips.

He was very well created.

He drove inside the school parking lot and parked the car, he turned his head to my direction and chuckled.

"Why? You have been staring at my face since you got inside my car, are there golds on my face?" He asked. I quickly lowered my eyes and shook my head.

Oh damn! He noticed my gaze on him.

"I wasn't watching, I was just curious." I responded calmly. He raised his eyebrows, waiting for further explanation but I had none to give.

" I have an exam this morning, thank you for the ride, I'll pay you back one way or the other." I said and unbuckled the seatbelt then pushed the car door open.

Anitra quickly grabbed my hand and brought it to his face. My eyes widened as I stared into his eyes.

What was he doing?

"I just thought maybe you would like to touch it." He whispered. I swallowed hard and retreated my hand from his face.

We shared a gaze for the last time before I grabbed my backpack and got out of the car.

I sighed and looked up only for my eyes to come in contact with Ace's. He was about 13 meters away.

Oh Lord! Oh my goodness! I am in trouble.

Anitra got out of the car and walked towards me.

"It seems like you are in trouble." He whispered into my ear.

When I looked up again I couldn't find Ace. He already left.

He didn't say anything to me. What could be thinking?

Ace is a very twisted and complicated guy who changes his plan every single time.

I'd expected him to come to me and stake his claim on me but he didn't, does that mean he has another plan?

What could he be thinking?

"Miss Meyers, please concentrate on what you're doing, you've been zooming out a lot." Our chemistry teacher said to me,

I closed my eyes and cursed myself inwardly.

"I'm sorry." I said to her,

The exam has been so difficult, I knew it would be this difficult and that was why I studied hard for it.

"Okay class, we have not less than five minutes, go through your work for the last time, the time is tick tocking." Our chemistry teacher said.

I quickly went through my work for the last time, I was confident in myself.

I knew that I could do it.

After my chemistry class I walked inside the girls bathroom to ease myself. After easing myself, I washed my hands and walked out of the bathroom.

"What is your relationship with Steele?" A voice asked from the side. I could recognize that voice from anywhere.

Ace.

He finally came to me.

I turned around to look at him and he was with his friend: Liam Wesley.

"Ace." I whispered.

He pushed himself away from the wall and walked closer to me.

"I asked you a question, what is your relationship with Anitra Steele?" He questioned yet again.

"Why do you want to know? He is just a friend of mine." I told him.

He raised his eyebrows at me and grabbed my jaw with his hand then brought my face closer to his.

His brown eyes were staring into mine intensely.

My body was hot, my heart pounding heavily against my chest, my lips tingled.

I can't understand my insane attraction towards Ace. It wasn't healthy, especially since he treated me like trash.

Why do I react this way towards him anytime we run into each other? It has been a long time since he kissed me but I felt like he just kissed me.

"What did I tell you before? You are mine. Your body is mine, including your heart." He whispered, his mouth was so close to mine, so close that if I tilt my head up just a little his mouth would meet mine.

"Why should I be yours? As usual you choose to embarrass me in front of your friend." I said and glanced at Liam who just chuckled. "My body belongs to me, my heart belongs to me, I am mine alone!" I yelled at him.

He released my jaw slowly and started caressing my cheek, he caressed my cheek, down to my neck and the top of my uniform's collar.

"What...... what are you doing?" I asked him. He smirked and placed his hand on my chest.

"Marking my territory." He whispered into my ear.

Territory.

"Your breasts are very full, that's impressive." He said and touched my left breast through my shirt.

"This is a sexual harrasment, Ace." I told him. He raised his eyes at me and then turned back to look at Liam.

"If you think this is an harassment then I want you to see what I can really do. Would you want to show them to Liam?" He asked.

I was embarrassed.

Why does he enjoy embarrassing me even before his friend?

Does it turn him on? Is he a sadist?

"Let the girl go, Ace. I would enjoy a show though, maybe a threesome? I'm always ready." Liam said and winked at me.

Oh.

His friend is built the same way as him, they are both mentally deranged.

"Someone might see us, Ace. Please stop this." I begged him. He smirked and pulled me closer to him.

My hand on his chest and his hand on my waist.

"This is just the beginning, these next few days of high school will be the worst days of your life, get yourself ready." He whispered into my ear.
