Once and Again

Green Eyed Monster

Third Person POV

  Since the time Eirick took the risk of claiming Rafi’s lips, he was all smiles and just cannot get over it. He never thought he’ll have that opportunity. Being so close to her, looking at her inviting lips he just couldn’t stop himself.

  So that’s what he did. He kissed her, tasted her lips and he did not regret it. It was soft and sweet. And one kiss isn’t enough for him; he wants more of those lips.

  Now that his ice brother finally grew a heart and got himself a girlfriend, he decided to pursue Rafi too.

  With flowers and chocolates in his hands, he knocked on the door of Rafi’s house. When the door opened, Rafi was there and her reaction upon seeing Eirick with flowers and chocolates made her flustered.

“E-Eirick, what are you doing here?” She asked.

“Hi!” Eirick greeted her.

  The door opened further and Rafi’s brother appeared.

“Eirick!” Ron exclaimed.

“Hi Ron, this is for you.” Eirick said, giving the chocolate to Ron.

  The boy beamed upon seeing the chocolates in his hand. He looked back at Eirick, grinning from ear to ear.

“Thank you Eirick! Come!” Ron exclaimed and took Eirick’s hand, pulling him inside.

  Rafi rolled her eyes, closing the door and followed the boys inside. They all went to the kitchen where Rachelle is.

“Eirick, what brought you here?” Rachelle asked.

“Hi Rachelle.” Eirick greeted her.

 Eirick approached her, and gave her a bouquet of roses. Rachelle smiled at the roses, while taking a sniff of its fragrance.

  Eirick then turned to Rafi and pulled out three roses from his back and gave it to her.

“For you.” He said smiling..

  Rafi blushed and she looked at the flowers and to Eirick, before taking the flowers.

“What’s with all these Eirick?” Rafi asked.

  Eirick grinned, the he looked at Rachelle.

“I am here to ask for permission to date Rafaela.” Eirick said.

  Rafi gaped while Rachelle giggled.

“What the hell are you talking about?!” Rafi hissed at Eirick.

  Eirick looked at Rafi.

“I told you, I’d steal your heart.” He said then he smirked.

“Oh my god. That is just so sweet.” Rachelle cooed.

“Mom!” Rafi whined.

  Rachelle shrugged, grinning.

  Rafi huffed and placed the flowers on top of the kitchen counter, and grabbed Eirick’s arm pulling him outside.

   When they are outside, in the front porch Rafi glared at Eirick.

“Why are you doing this?” She asked him.

“I am courting you.” He answered.

“Courting? Eirick, can you stop this? This is not funny anymore.” Rafi said.

“Funny? I’m not being funny here. I can’t ignore what I feel for you Rafi. I told you I like you. You occupied my mind most of the time.” Eirick said.

  Rafi sighed and ran her fingers through her hair, and then she looked at Eirick.

“Look Eirick I am just your tutor, and slight friend. That’s it, stop being nice to me and to my family. We’re going to graduate soon, and I’ll be out of this place.” Rafi said.

  Eirick narrowed his eyes on her.

“Out of this place?” Eirick asked.

“I’m leaving New York as soon as the school confirmed me graduating.” Rafi said.

“Where will you go?”

“Far from here. So stop all of this. You are out of my league Eirick. Someone like me doesn’t belong to someone like you, to your world. You should just stop thi-“

  Rafi’s speech was cut off when Eirick pulled her in his arms, burying his face on her neck.

“Please just give me a chance. I want to be a better person because of you, and for you. Please stay with me.” Eirick whispered to her.

    As Eirick held Rafi in his arms, someone in a car from a far was glaring at them. That someone was Celene and her friends Bella, and Jade.

“Why is Eirick there?” Jade asked looking out the window.

“Isn’t that the goody two shoes, which’s always on top of the class?” Bella asked.

  Celene’s grip on the wheel tightened that her hands turned white. For years since she first saw Eirick, she has liked him. She made it her mission to have him notice her. He joined football, she joined the cheerleading team. She entered his world, so she can be his queen.

  Junior year when they were voted Homecoming King and Queen, and since then they were rumoured to be dating. Since Eirick never confirmed nor deny the issue, she thought that it’s alright that she’ll be labelled at Eirick Salvatore’s girlfriend.

  And now, just like that the girl that isn’t popular, and a nobody is in the arms of the boy that she likes. Why is this happening? What did Eirick see in her?

  With one last glare, she drove off away from the neighbourhood. She went straight to the spa that they are supposed to go to.

  Full body massage should have made a person relax, but not Celene. She was seething, she was jealous. She should be in Eirick’s arms, not that girl. She already paved her way towards Eirick for years, and she won’t let some girl come between her and Eirick.

“What are you going to do with the girl?” Celene heard Jade ask.

“Who is she anyway? That’s what we need to find out first.” Celene said.

“Bella, look her up. I believe her name was Rafaela.”Jade said.

  Bella grinned and pulled out her phone and began scrolling through her f*******: account. But after a few scroll, Bella frowned.

“I can’t believe this.” Bella mumbled.

“Why? What’s wrong?” Jade asked.

  Bella turned to her friends.

“She has no f*******: account.” Bella said.

  Celene frowned and took the phone from Bella. She scrolled through the phone, and clenched her teeth when what Bella said was correct. She hissed and threw the phone back to Bella.

“Who doesn’t have a f*******: account? Everybody has f*******: now.” Jade said.

“I’m really curious though. Why were they hugging? How did they know each other when we never saw them interact at school?”Bella said.

“You have a point there.” Jade said.

“It doesn’t matter how and when. What I want is for that girl to stay away from Eirick. She’s clearly clinging to him either for popularity or for money. Eirick shouldn’t be distracted, when its championship month. Ivy League scouts will be watching the game. He works so hard for this, and he needs to be noticed.” Celene said.

“He’s a Salvatore, he can study wherever he wants. He can buy his way through it.” Jade said.

“True. Being a Salvatore has a lot of perks.” Bella chirped.

“Imagine if Celene got to be the future Mrs. Salvatore. She gets to mingle with the rich and famous!” Jade exclaimed.

“Not only that. Isn’t Eirick’s mom is the princess of Monaco? They are royalties!” Bella squealed.

  Celene smirked inwardly.

  Not only Eirick has a handsome face, he also belongs with the elites and royals. Not that she needs someone to be rich, but be able to mingle with the elites and royals are just every girl’s dream. To marry her prince charming.

  Eirick for her is the ultimate guy. She never felt anything like this for someone else. No one can ever make her heart race whenever he’s around, just Eirick.
