HIS UNMATCHED AFFECTION

Chapter 4

Jake's POV

Now I know Eric's weakness. All this year’s it's been right in front of my eyes. He is my little brother but going against me was a bad idea. I always get what I want and this time my eyes are set on Stacy. Winning is written in my genes and it's the dominant gene. He needs to learn a hard lesson about respect. So this morning I decide to start a chain reaction of activities that will end with me slaying his little ego. I told James the truth and the look on his face said it all. I've never seen him that angry. Not since we were in the sixth grade when he punched another boy in the face for calling his mum a w***e. I know he wanted to hit me but am innocent in all this sherade. She kissed me and I didn't kiss her back even though I right now I want her so bad. I don't know if it's this vengeance or list but I feel like she's the piece of the puzzle I've been missing.

I get it if she doesn't want to be with me. I've made terrible mistakes and slept around but what if am doing the right thing? Like am just trying to help her realize she is meant to be with me and not with any of the two losers? Stacy Authors might be my redemption story. Right now I just want to finish high-school and join college play football and have someone in my corner apart from my parents of Course. She looks like the right girl for me. She is pretty, which is good for my social image, smart and bossy. It's been long since I met a girl who likes being in control of everything. Most of the time I date phonies. Two days in a relationship she wants to match clothes, hold you a seat and ride with you in your car. She wants to act like your secretary.

Am watching him from the chemistry lab. He called her and am waiting to see all the drama unfold. James looks stressed up. He is Pacing up and down the parking lot. I hope he won't lay his hands on her I swear I'll rip his head off. She is walking briskly from far. Her pulchritudinous body is visible from where am standing. Wiggling her backside without trying hard. I can already imagine hugging her from behind with my d**k poking her firm round ass. I now get it why Eric is so obsessed with her she is something. James is now leaning on his car as she walks to him.

James POV

God I wanna crush her pretty head and poke her warm eyes out but at the same time I just want to kiss her badly turn her over and f**k her so hard. I don't even know why my d**k is getting hard when I should mad and yelling at her. As she walks towards me I think am losing the courage to confront her right now. If I do I might do something ill end up regretting. I have to calm down and talk to her when my mind is clear.

"Hey what's up you said it's urgent", She says.

I love those lying lips with no lip bum but they still get me off my feet.

"Yeah, hop in", I say getting the door for her.

"Where are we going?" She asks arms akimbo.

I first grab her bag pack and throw it in the back seat.

"Trust me darling this will take half an hour we will be back before the third period", I promise kissing her on the lips.

I can't believe Jake had a test of them it makes me think of all felonious act I can do to him. Speaking of the devil I can see him snooping around at the chemistry lab window. There's something fishy about him and am gonna find out. The sooner the better, there’s a lot at stake.

"Okay", she says getting in the car.

I shut the door and turn around only to find Eric. He is giving me that hideous look. I know they are friends but he is crossing a line here.

"What's up dude?" He asks.

"It's good just chillin" I say looking around.

"Going somewhere? Don't tell me you making her skip school?" He says coming closer.

I don't owe this guy an explanation but he is friends with my girl. They come together as a package deal. I have to come up with something convincing or else he's going to make her jump right out of the car. She listens to him more than anybody.

"No we picking something up, will be back in thirty minutes", I say playing with my keys.

"Cool, thirty it is" He says staring at his watch and walks away.

I got thirty minutes to yell at my girlfriend but in a non-provocative tone so I hop in the car quickly. Am taking her to our favorite spot of the sea. I just want to know if the kiss meant something to her before I give her a piece of my mind.

"What took so long?" She asks.

"Was talking to my team mate about a few things we can go now", I say turning the car around.

Stacy's POV

Am not sure where he is taking us in school hours. Am worried about meeting my mum or my dad they'd think am skipping school but at the same time am curious to know what he wants to talk about. I also need to tell him I kissed Jake. This malicious secret has ruined the relationship between my best friend and his brother and now it's about to make it even worse for Jake. The only question I don't know how to answer is if I like Jake. It's a tricky one.

I can't say yes. It will hurt his feelings and I don't want to lose him either. But if I don't say yes then I'll be in denial. I can't stop thinking about that kiss the boy is addictive like p**n. I even found myself snooping on his i********:, drooling over his bare chest photos and ignoring the ones with girls around him. I think am going crazy to an extent I'm just jealous of the girls in his pictures even though he is not my boyfriend.

"So what do you want to talk about", I break the silence to take my mind off Jake.

"Some stuff but let's get there first", He says.

He doesn't look okay but he is driving us to our favorite spot at the seaside. The suspense he is creating is making me sick. Am so nervous that if it's a surprise am not going to ruin it by telling him I kissed his best friend. That one will have to wait. We get to the spot. He gets out of the car and grabs two milk shakes for us. Another sign of anger, He didn't get the door for me. And it's also evident there's no surprise

"Are you keeping something from me?" He asks.

Before I could answer my phone chimes. I look at him sliding into my front pocket to grab it. This message better be good enough to buy me more time. Honestly I have no idea how to break it to him.

"Can I read this first?” I ask forcing a smile and there's another chime.

"Sure" He says sounding uninterested.

When I click on the message icon I find Jake's message. I don't remember giving him my number.

J: After your little trip with your BOYFRIEND meet me at the swimming pool. I have something to tell you. It's about our kiss. Don't bail *smiling emoji’s*

I can't face James right now. Who writes boyfriend in caps? I ignore it. Another one comes in. James is getting restless even though he can't say it.

J: am going to text until you agree *Laughing emoji’s*

S: okay I'll come, just don't text again.

Did he just follow me on i********:? You sexy devil I feel like killing him right now.

"Who's that? I couldn't help it but notice you frowning", James says.

"It's just a stupid troll", I say keeping my phone back.

James hasn't taken a single sip of his milk shake. I take mine and exhale sharply.

"You were right am keeping something from you", I say.

He doesn't say anything. He looks curious. This is punishment now I have to explain everything. It's easier if he is asking the questions so that my answers don't go out of context.

"I kissed Jake that's why they fought with Eric. Look you have every right to be mad..."

"Did you do it to get back on me for kissing a girl when I was drank or you did it out of purpose?" He asks angrily.

"None of the above I don't know what came over me. We were standing there when the lights went out and the next thing I know I was kissing him" I say embarrassed.

"Look me in the eye and tell me you don't like him"

There it is. The conundrum.

"You don't trust me?" I ask sounding surprised.

"No I don't, tell me if you like him"

"You don't trust me so what if I don't like him huh?" I say walking away.

"I'll take that as a Yes", He shouts after me.
