BAD BOY IN LOVE - CHAPTER 13&14
★★★THE FIGHT ★★★
Unable to contain her curiosity, she clicked on the profile of the person who had messaged her. What she saw left her completely shocked.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
“Aaron!!!!” she screamed at the top of her voice. Was fate playing a trick on her? Why was she stuck between her two enemies?
Just as her curiosity peaked, an unknown number called, and she mindlessly answered without checking who it was.
“Who’s this?” she asked, her face scrunched up.
“It’s Aaron. Did you see the text I sent you?” Aaron asked from the other end, leaving Delilah in awe.
“Wait, aren’t you the class rep?” she asked, and Aaron nodded.
“Yeah, that’s me. What’s up?” he replied.
“Aren’t you supposed to check the list before sending it to the group? How am I supposed to handle two guys at the same time? Are you trying to drive me crazy?” Delilah fired off her questions, not giving Aaron a chance to speak.
“Two guys? Who’s the other one?” Aaron asked, confused by Delilah’s statement.
“Jace! Why did you pair me with him and you too?” Delilah demanded.
“I have nothing to do with the list. I only sent it to the group; the lecturer was responsible for that. And it doesn’t stop me from meeting you this evening. The date starts today, so get ready and meet me at the park,” Aaron said before ending the call abruptly.
Delilah stared into space, taken aback by Aaron’s words. So he didn’t care if they paired her with two guys or not.
In frustration, she angrily threw her phone to the other side of the bed and collapsed onto it, exhausted.
“Why is life playing such a cruel game?” Delilah cried out, feeling helpless.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Aaron stared at himself in the mirror and couldn’t help but wonder why he felt so drawn to Delilah. They had only known each other for three days, but it felt like a lifetime. Even though Delilah’s clumsy behavior wasn’t his usual type, there was something about her that made him want to get closer.
He took a deep breath and grabbed the brush, running it through his hair to give himself a segzier look. After dropping the brush, he walked over to the closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. He quickly got dressed and returned to the mirror, admiring his handsome face.
With a wicked smile, he picked up his phone and car key, confidently left the room.
*********
Jace parked his car in a vacant space at the parking lot. As he stepped out of the car, he accidentally bumped into someone.
“Hey, watch where you’re going!” Jace shouted, not realizing who he had collided with.
“Oh, Jace! Is that you?” Harley asked, standing up.
“Harley? Are you stalking me or something?” Jace asked, annoyed, looking down at Harley as if she were some kind of creature.
“That question should be thrown back at you. Are you spying on me?” Harley asked confidently, as if she had caught Jace spying on her. She flipped her hair back, feeling her beauty.
“Whoa, Harley! Are you accusing me of spying on you?” Jace asked, trying to contain his laughter. He furrowed his brow and gave Harley a sharp look before saying, “I’d rather spend the whole day using a fork to fetch water in a basket than glare at you for a minute.” Jace’s comment seemed to ignite a fire in Harley, and she shouted, “Motherf-__-ker!”
“Your mother!” Jace retorted.
Before Harley could respond, a car drove by, causing her to step aside. Aaron stepped out of the car, looking as hot as ever. Harley couldn’t help but be in awe.
“Aaron!” Jace called out, as if he couldn’t believe his eyes.
“Aaron! Did you come here for me?” Harley asked, trying to get Aaron’s attention. She reached out to hold his hand, but Aaron quickly pulled away.
“Do we have any plans together?” Aaron asked, his expression blank. Harley shook her head, denying any plans. “If not, then get lost,” he said, showing no emotion.
Jace, staring at Aaron with a dangerous look, asked, “What are you doing here?” Just seeing Aaron made Jace’s blood boil.
“Is this place your property?” Aaron asked, his face serious.
“Neither your family’s land,” Jace replied with a smirk, revealing his playboy side.
“Why are you asking me a question you should be asking your father?” Aaron asked, getting closer to Jace as if ready to throw a punch. The fact that they were both peers with Delilah irritated him to no end.
“Why do I feel like you’re frustrated?” Jace asked, his expression serious.
“That’s because frustration lives within you,” Aaron replied, his face devoid of a smile.
“Are you guys fighting now?” Harley asked, unable to take her eyes off the argument.
“Get out of here!” Jace shouted at Harley, causing her to tremble in fear.
Aaron simply stared and shook his head twice before leaning against the car.
“Stupid she goat,” Jace muttered, also leaning against the car without any idea of what was happening.
“Why do I feel like you two are having issues over something?” Harley asked, giving Jace and Aaron a keen look.
Not long after, Delilah arrived in her stunning pink gown, looking like a little doll. As she stepped out of her car, all eyes were on her, including Harley’s. Harley couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy towards Delilah. She clenched her teeth together, as if she wanted to bite her.
Jace and Aaron followed Delilah’s every move with their eyes, then quickly looked away.
“Hey guys,” Delilah greeted cheerfully, although she was shaking inside. Her mind was filled with doubts about which one of them to choose.
Jace, sensing the tension, furrowed his brows and briefly glanced at Aaron before shifting his gaze back to Delilah.
“Umm,” Delilah stammered, unsure of where to start the explanation.
“What’s going on here?” Jace asked, stepping away from the car.
Aaron simply nodded his head, feeling embarrassed about the situation already. He h@??d anything that required an explanation.
“The thing is, I think the lecturer made a mistake by pairing me with both of you,” Delilah explained.
“Did you really think it was a mistake?” Jace asked, shifting his gaze to Aaron. “Or did he intentionally manipulate the list?” Jace said, then turned his attention back to Delilah.
“What!!! Manipulate?” Aaron exclaimed, walking closer to Jace and landing a hard punch that made blood trickle from his mouth.
Aaron glared at Delilah before getting into his car and driving away leaving no room for Jace to do his own back.
“Aaron,” Delilah called out, but he had already left.
Harley couldn’t help but feel shocked by the scene unfolding in front of her, wondering what was happening.
“Jace,” Delilah called out, walking towards him and offering a hand to help him up. But Jace yanked her hand away.
“Don’t touch me,” Jace said angrily, getting into his car as well. He started the car and drove away instantly.
“Wow,” Harley muttered, catching Delilah’s attention.
Delilah just glared at her with hatred before walking to her car and driving back home.
