Theodetia Hamilton has finally decided to give herself into commitment, to give herself a chance to relationship, so since that is the case, she decides to go to the same college with Gideon.
Unfortunately, life has it's own plans and fate has it's...
I get up and change into a black short dress, I put on a pair of sandals and take my phone.
I see Jace in the kitchen, once I'm close to him, he pecks me on the lips and I find myself and bottle of water, gulping it all down in one go
"Thanks for letting me in" he says
"That's alright" I shrug.
His scrutinizing gaze calculates me so much that I begin to feel uncomfortable
"I don't mean to hurt you, but have you been feeling okay? Any dread or something?" He asks and it takes a long while before I answer him. Not quiet knowing how to
"Well I'd say I've moved on. I let a man touch me don't I? Besides I was quite a rebel after it happened." I chuckle, trying to ease the thick tension that could be cut with a knife
"What do you mean?" He asks, determination lacing his voice. Not ready to let go I see
"That, my handsome young lad, is a story for another time. Right now, we've got to get going."
"I just want to know. I think you should see a therapist and talk about it. Might make you feel a bit better"
"No. I'm okay. Really, I'm good as gold. But sure, I'll think about it" I reply, already drained from the topic itself, but wanting to argue also
"Well then" he says and drives us to the airport. Where his private jet stands, waiting for us
💕💕💕💕💕💕
"Won't you come in?" I ask once we're in my drive way after a long tiring flight
"Nope. I've got a lot of things to do before my flight on Monday"
"Well then. When I'm I seeing you again?" I ask, already missing him and dreading if maybe I'm too into this. I push the thought back and focus
"I really can't tell. But if anything, I'm only one call away" he says, capturing my lips in a passionate kiss
"Goodnight Trev. Have a safe flight"
"Thanks Val" he winks and I get down. Not moving until I'm inside, when the roaring of his car speeds off
"Lover boy is gone I see" Beverly teases once I'm in the kitchen
"Are you spying on me?" I ask, not even expecting to see her here talk less of what I'm up to. But well, no surprise, her boyfriend is my brother afterall
"I've got better things to do Detia. Besides, I geared the roaring of his car engine. Looks like a 1999 scene tho" she says chuckling, and I couldn't agree less
💓💓💓💓💓💓
The next day I wake up, after having a shower looking for a dress to wear. After the dinner with mom and Brandon who came down a few minutes later after I arrived, we all decided to go to the chapel with Beverly's family.
Brandon told me Annabel came around, so as I look for my dress, I make a mental note to call her later.
I finally decide on a dress and put it on

I do my makeup and curl my hair, I slip my feet into my red Casadei blade pumps. I take my phone and bag and need everyone downstairs.

From what I saw after the service, Beverly is getting along with her parents quote well than she used to. And I'm so very happy for her. Family is and will always be family afterall.
I pick my phone once I'm home and call Annie. Eager to know what she's up to, what a bestfriend I am
"Hey babe" I greet, knowing I'll be meeting wrath. I was so engulfed in my little haven I didn't even remember her, the charms of JaceStark I tell you!
"Don't 'Hey babe' me. I came to your house but didn't find you. Where were you?" She asks and for a moment I'm taken aback by the tone in her voice. A friend's concern I guess. It's not everyday that you go looking for your bestie and not see her at home, and then she calls you three days later
"Went on a trip with your brother" I say, every moment's detail crawling back into my mind, making the butterflies in my tummy erupt a thousand folds. For a moment she's quiet
"Can I call you later?" She asks
I wonder if she's okay.
"Sure" I say and she hangs up immediately
Oh well! She'll come around.
Annabel Stark POV "Can I call you back?" I ask her over the phone, a lump in my throat
"Sure" she says and I don't miss the uncertainty in her voice
I hung up immediately and stare at my ceiling. I thought I've gotten over this. Over her. Is it love maybe? Do the feelings I have for her stronger than what I always thought it was? That I am even jealous of my own brother?
