Chapter 51
Are you fucking nuts? that will only make matters worse”I yelled.
“It’s a 50/50 percentage, what if it works”He smirked.
“I don’t know man, I don’t wanna complicate things”I told him.
“But what if it works, at least you’ll know for sure if she has feelings for you, then you can move forward”He said.
“This is insane”I stated.
“But it just might help”He smiled brightly.
“Well……”
“Think about it”He smirked.
Liv’s POV
“He’s obnoxious and very mad”I informed Zoey.
“Are you still rattling about that stuff?”She said as she chuked a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth.
“Yeah… he just keeps pissing me off”I groaned.
“Hey babe”We heard Blake’s voice from behind us. We turned our head to see him approaching us. He placed a soft kiss on Zoey’s lips and then sat down beside her.
“Babe? are you guys like…. back together?”I asked. I wasn’t really surprised because of the way she ran off the other day but it seems so soon.
“Yeah”Zoey answered. She was smiling so lovingly at him. I know she loves him so fucking much by the way she’s looking at him. I wish Alex would look at me that way.
Alex?
Why the hell did i just think that? I must be loosing my mind.
“Uhm…. please excuse me for a minute, i need to use the restroom”I told them and stood up immediately without waiting for their responses. I ran out of the cafeteria immediately.
As i was walking down the hall, i face smashed into a wall. Oops…. it’s not a wall…. it’s Cade.
“Hi”He smiled.
“Hey”I growled and turned to walk past him but he gripped my wrist, pulling me back to face him.
“What part of stay away from me did you not understand!”I said harshly.
“Can we talk…. please?”He requested.
“No we can’t talk, let this be thee first and last time you’ll cross paths with me!”I yelled. I was about walking away but i was stopped by his voice.
“Please Liv…. i know what i did was wrong but I’m really sorry, I’m not the same person i was back then, I’ve changed and you know it”He said.
“I’m still disgusted by you Cade and it changes nothing. I think it’s best if we stay away from each other. I didn’t tell Alex about the last time you tried to force yourself on me, you know he’ll do more than take your basketball scholarship if he finds out”I told him.
“He told you about the scholarship stuff?”He asked.
“Yeah and in as much as i hate you right now, i really feel bad foe you, I’ve tried speaking to him about it but i know he’s too strong headed and won’t listen”
“I don’t care about the scholarship Liv, i just want you to forgive me, you don’t have to worry about my basketball career, he still put me back on the team remember? but I’m just not on the scholarship list anymore but i can handle that, just here me out please”He pleaded.
“I don’t wanna talk to you Cade, the more i see you, the more irritated i get”I informed him.
“No, you don’t mean that”He said.
“I do, and if you know what’s good for you, i think it’s best you stay away from me or else…. you know what Alex can do, i need not remind you that”I said and walked away without another word being said.

“Hey”Alex said as he grabbed a can of pepsi from the fridge.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“Hi”Was my cold response as i continued baking the waffles i was busy making.
“Are you still upset with me?”He asked.
“Upset? why would i be? I’m not upset with you”I lied.
“Seemed like it”He breathed as he opened the can.
“I’m not upset with you Alex”I told him as i dished out the waffles in two separate plates.
“Then why have you been avoiding me?”He asked.
“Because…. i didn’t feel like talking or fighting”I told him.
“That doesn’t make sense”He said.
“Even you don’t make sense Alex”I informed him.
“Is that supposed to be an insult because it’s pathetic”He rolled his eyes.
“No… you’re pathetic”I informed him.
“Nope…. absolutely not…. I’m just the best… admit it already”He smirked.
“You wish Alex”I laughed.
Alex’s POV
I’m glad to see her laughing again. The tension in this house has been killing me.
It’s suffocating.
“Care for some waffles?”She handed me a plate of waffles which i took from her.
“Thanks”I said to her as i followed her out to the living room.
“Let’s watch a movie”She suggested.
“I hate those lame ass movies you always choose. If we’re watching a movie then i get to pick the movie”I told her.
“Fine”I didn’t expect her to agree so easily. What’s come over her?
I switched on the Tv and sat down on the couch beside her as i went through the channel list.
“Let’s watch this”I told her as i switched to E! Entertainment where botched was showing.
“I’m not watching this dumbass show” She groaned and i chuckled. I purposely put this channel to piss her off.
“Well i feel like watching it so that’s what we’re gonna be watching”I laughed.
“Who cares about some dumb surgery program”She growled.
“I do”I lied. I didn’t give a shit about this shitty show but i just wanted to annoy her a bit. I love the look on her face whenever she’s mad at me.
“Argh”She groaned.
“Don’t you think I’d look nice if i got my nose reshaped”I teased.
“Ew”She scowled.
“I think I’d look hot with a more pointier nose”I teased.
“Absolutely not…… you’d look like the fool you already are”She said and i chuckled.
“Am i?”I smirked.
“What?”She asked obliviously.
“Am i a fool?”I asked.
“Is that even a question, in fact, fool is an understatement for you, you’re a moronic idiot”
Ouch.
We spent about thirty minutes arguing and fighting before we finally concluded on watching some shitty romcom. Honestly i have nothing against these movies but i just love pestering her everytime. The look on her face whenever i make comments on how lame her movie choice is always turns me on full mode. Damn this girl has really gotten into my head.
After about two hours, the shitty movie which i was paying zero attention to, finally came to an end. I looked over at Liv who was lying down on the couch, already sleeping.
She looks so damn innocent while sleeping. No one would know how sharp tongued this girl could be when they watch her sleep. Even in her sleep she’s still fucking beautiful and flawless.
Who looks this good during their sleep?
I switched off the tv and tossed the remote carelessly on the empty space beside me. I stood up and bent over to where she waa lying down. I carried her gently unto my arms as i plodded towards the stairs, careful not to wake her up.
As i reached the end of the stairs, i heard her mumble something in her sleep but i could barely make a sentence out of it. I made my way to her room and pushed it open gently and made my way to her bed. I laid her down carefully and covered her with a duvet. I placed a soft kiss on her forehead and left the room without another word.
