His Little Dirty Secrets

CHAPTER 9

LOLA'S POV

Crestview University is just like what I had pictured it to be.

There were near lawns and most importantly, so many people who seemed to mind their own business.

This is exactly my cup of tea. The last thing that I want is to be on someone's radar.

"Just do what you do best. I don't know the best words to say to you, honestly. I mean after what you did...I mean just try and be nice,"My mum told me after she removed my bags from the back of the car.

" You know what mum, maybe you should blame yourself. Stop blaming me! I was just a child learning from someone who f****d up. For Christ sake, who is my dad? Maybe he can give me the love that you are denying me!"I lost it with her.

I was tired of this kind of treatment. I was sick of it.

I was done with her treating me like some kind of devil from hell.

I know that I messed once. I have suffered for that . She doesn't have to drag me to the mud every time making me hate my current life. I want to be better. I want to do better.

I have come from very far to get to this point. I have been through hell and I don't want anyone including her to remind me of that everyday as they burst my bubble.

"You stupid…"She wanted to slap me but I held her hand tightly.

She was shocked. Her eyes popped out in surprise. This is actually the first time that I stood up to her.

"Never again mother. I am starting a new life here in Crestview and the last thing I want is you to ruin it for me. I am done taking your bulshit!"I yelled at her almost attracting the attention of the passers by.

"Forget that I am your mother!" She hissed.

"Well I did that a long time ago,"I said through gritted teeth before I grabbed my bags and started walking away from her.

"Come back here you stupid b***h!" My mum yelled but I didn't look back. I was done with her for good.

I have started my new life. I will make my own decisions and I will actually do what the hell I want.

It is my life after all. 

I was still huffing and puffing in anger as I dragged my bags to the Adminstration block.

I got my lips hard to prevent myself from crying. I don't really know what happened to us to get at this point.

She used to be the most loving mother ever but lately, we just don't get along.

We are two different people. It hurts though.

Anyway, I am in Crestview University and I am here to have the best time of my life. She was never going to stop me in any way.

I continued dragging my suitcase to the admin block as I reassured myself. 

"Do you need help with that?"I heard a gentleman's voice so close from being me but I chose to ignore.

Moving two steps ahead, I realised that I was struggling with the bags. I really needed help.

"If you think that this will make you my boyfriend then you are mistaken. I am not that naive," I said.

I turned around to be met with some sort of Greek God, well not quite...near enough though.

He stood at least four inches taller than my 5'6 height. His eyes were as blue as the ocean and his skin beautifully tanned, his spiky hair dark and thick, makes me wanna run my hands through them.

As if to kill me even more, he skilled widely at me. His million dollar smile made heat deep through my skin as if I was made of paper.

"Am Zach by the way,"His deep voice was enough to get my pulse rising.

Oh no! Why am I like this. The last time I gave myself a pep talk was telling myself that I am done with men.

Calm down Lola. You don't have to show that you are falling for him.

"I am Lola,"I stretched my hand to shake his. I was keen to avoid his eye contact. The eyes never lie . I didn't want him to have the ego that he had swept me off my feet.

"Nice name Lola,"He complimented me as he grabbed my bag. He was going to help me around.

"Are you a freshman?"He asked as we kept on walking down the long pavement.

"Is it so clear?"I rolled my eyes. 

"You are rude, aren't you?"He chuckled.

"Listen here, you are not about to judge me. Excuse me please. I can handle my things,"I lost it. I didn't like people bossing me around.

If my mother can't do that then who the heck is he?

Just because he is a hot guy doesn't mean that he has to say whatever he wants and then get away with it.

"Come on Lola, don't be such a p***y,"He rumbled on.

"Listen Zach or whatever is it that you call yourself. I am Lola. Don't ever be rude to me or anything. You can do that with the rest of the girls except me. I am different!"I made it very clear.

"Calm down, will you,"His voice was low.

"Don't tell me to calm down!"I looked away as a way to cool my anger.

"Listen,"Before I knew it, he was a few inches in front of me.

The sweet smell of his woody cologne eased to my nose making me distracted.

"You are pretty Lola. I don't love to see you angry. Please smile for me,"He begged with a low voice that soothed my heart.

"It's just that…"I dwadled.

"You have me Lola. I want to know you. I want to be your friend. Don't push me away,"He kissed me lightly on the cheek before he went ahead to pull me to a very tight embrace.
