💝Third person's p.o.v 💝

Hogworths high.....

"What's your favorite K-pop group?" Mia asked, snarfing up a sausage roll while she, Bella and Raven walked to class.

"Blackpink obviously". Bella murmured.

"What the heck is a K-pop group anyway?" Raven asked.

"Are you fweaking kidding me?" Mia stopped walking abruptly.

"Korean pop group". Bella replied.

"Does it exist?" Raven asked again, totally uninterested with their conversation.

"Okay...are you faking it or are you like....being serious right now?" Bella asked also stopping to stare at her.

"So...it exists huh?" She murmured.

"Duh...yeah" Bella said..."and you haven't heard about Blackpink or BTS, the most popular groups or even Exo, Enhypens, Straykids, Twice, Aespa..blah blah... doesn't ring a bell?"

"Nope". Raven replied, staring blankly at her.

"Are you even a human being?" Bella gasped out.

"Are they?" Raven asked..

"Huh?"

"The K-pop blah blah...are they human beings?".

Mia face palmed herself....

"Nevermind.... let's just go". Bella said out of frustration.

They were about to head for their class before they almost bumped into Lucas.

"Aishhh! Move it will you?" Raven hissed.

"Hi". He greeted.

"Hey Lucas". Bella waved. Mia was too timid to speak.

"Uh....Raven?" He began, touching the nape of his neck, nervously.

"How can i help you?" She asked folding her arms. It was difficult for him to say what he wanted to, with the attitude she was displaying.

"Um...I...well....do you....?" He stuttered, thinking of a way to put in good words so as not to receive a slap from the bad-tempered girl.

She gazed at him with a raised eyebrow, while Bella and Mia were anxiously waiting for what he had to say.

"Are you alright? There's A.C and you're sweating". She asked, furrowing her eyebrows.

He took out his hanky and dabbed on his face...

Bella giggled at the sight, because she knew he was scared. It reminded her of the last time he was at Aiden's house.

He puffed out some air and finally muttered..

"Will you be my date to prom?"

Mia gasped, while Bella beamed...

Raven was taken aback....she was stunned to talk as she stared at the only guy who dared to ask her out to prom.

Usually, all the boys in the school wouldn't dare go close to her, talk more of asking her out.

"Uh...um...I..."

It was her turn to stutter as Bella and Mia stared at her in amazement. They've never seen her at loss with words.

"Omigosh!" Mia squealed.

Curious students who were watching them were whispering amongst themselves.

It was an odd sight to see one of the A4 almost peeing himself just to ask a girl out.

And it was definitely an odd sight to see the school's nightmare, Raven, stunned as fuck. Usually her savage mouth ran non-stop.

She could just insult him or snub him and walk out...but she just stood there, stammering.

Perhaps because he was one of the A4 that many students admired or maybe because he was one of her brother's best friends.

"I...I..I'll think about it!" She swallowed hard as she replied and fled....to everyone's surprise.

"Wait!" Bella and Mia called out, and ran after her.

Lucas heaved a sigh of relief as a smile formed at the corner of his mouth.

She might've not given him a positive answer, but at least she raised his hopes and moreover she didn't yell or insult him.

Meanwhile.....

CENTRAL LAW FIRM...

"Sir, there's someone here to see you". A lady said as she walked into Mr Bob's office.

"Come in...come in". He gestured, with a bored tone, his mind, already drifted to somewhere else.

The door opened and his visitor entered..

He looked up, both surprised and happy to see the visitor.

"Aiden". He muttered as he stood up from his chair to welcome his son.

Aiden rolled his eyes and closed the door before heading to a chaise lounge in the office and plopped down without an invite.

"Wh-why are you here?" His father asked, still surprised at his son's unexpected visit.

"You think I'd skip lectures just for a casual visit to my so-called father? You wish". He scoffed.

Sitting upright, he turned to look at his father..

"I want you to go apologize to mom...well, forget about me...I don't need your apology. Mom and Annie does".

"Annie?" His father ventured.

"Your daughter...the one you abandoned years back..she was your unborn child".

His father sighed deeply as he recalled seeing a little girl who he had felt a strong connection with, last time he showed up at their house uninvited.

"I'm just doing this because of the people i cherish so much". Aiden said.

"I'm so happy to see you...". His father sighed and smiled.

"Tch... I'm also here because someone persuaded me to... someone really dear to me and turns out, that someone really cares, unlike you". He replied.

"Thanks for coming....you have no idea what it means to me...and yes I'll apologize to mom... I'll do everything I can to make it up to you guys. You mean a lot to me...all of you. My life's so miserable right now and i regret leaving".

"Whatever". Aiden rolled his eyes again, totally frustrated with what his father was blabbing about.

"I left because i wanted to protect my family. I had a lot going on, a lot of people who were against me while i was a prosecutor. So many rivals and enemies here and there...I received threats every single day and i feared for the lives of my loved ones. So i had to leave to face my battles alone. You should believe me I didn't leave coz i really wanted to leave or because i didn't care about you guys...I was...I was forced...". His father said with a tone of sadness.

"It was really a difficult choice to make". He concluded.

Aiden sighed deeply and for a moment he felt for his father and mellowed as he stared at his father's face...it was full of agony and regrets.

But then, he could've told them and that wasn't even enough reason for him to leave.

He looked away and hardened his heart once again.

"I'll try to make mom listen to you...and you better beg your ass out till she accepts and forgives you". He murmured.

"Yes...i will. Thank you so much, I've missed you my boy". His father said, walking to him with opened arms.

"What do you think you're doing?" He asked alarmed as he stood up from the chaise lounge.

"In case you forgot, I'm eighteen now...save the hug for the girl you abandoned".

"I'm sorry". His father muttered..."I just hope you find a place in your heart to forgive me".

"I'll think about it".  He said and left the office.

🦋 Bella's p.o.v  🦋

At the Emersons...

"Did you meet with your father?" I asked a gloomy looking Aiden who leaned on the railing, as if he was waiting for someone, as i entered the house...

"Were you thinking about my father all the time you were in school?" He asked in return, offended.

"Not really...". I replied and strode towards him...."what if i was thinking about him....it's a good thing you considered him your father". I smirked.

He poked his cheek with his tongue and i got the message that he was pissed.

"C'mon...all i did was think about you, seriously i missed you". I said with a pout.

Yeah school felt kinda lonely without him....well, not really lonely when Raven and Mia were there.

"Yes...I met him". He murmured.

"Really?" I beamed as i walked up to him and stood on my toes, planting a peck on his lips.

"I'm so proud of you".

A look of dissatisfaction flashed on his face.

"I deserve more than a peck". He said and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer... "Go on..."

I smiled and moved my face close to his...then our lips met.

I felt his lips twist into a smirk before devouring mine.

I thought I was supposed to do the kissing.

I pulled out of the kiss when he wouldn't release me...

Seriously we could kiss for a whole day...heck yeah! Buh not where Annie could just walk in on us.

He bit his lip and glared at me for ending the kiss....I giggled, then cleaned his lips with my fingers.

He looked hilarious with my red lipstick smudged on his lips.

"If I get a kiss for just meeting with someone as you wish....then what do i get if i do something nice?" He asked with a smug.

Ughhhh!

"You pervert!" I gasped, hitting him.

"Your pervert". He muttered.

We heard someone clear their throat and i turned to see the person..

Mrs Sophie stood, with her hand draped across Annie's eyes, covering them from viewing us.

Sh*t! How long have they been standing there?

I went red in embarrassment....

"That was quite the show". She said and i couldn't decipher if she was disappointed or upset or pleased.

"Ma'am....". I wanted to talk but didn't know what to say.

Aiden didn't seem like he was surprised to see his mom....he just stared blankly at her, before pulling me much more closer to himself.

"So... what's really going on?" She asked.

"Isn't it obvious?". He murmured in return.

"Both of you..are... together?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

Not good...

"Oh my goodness! I always knew there was a spark between both of you...I always knew you guys had that chemistry...I always knew you were right for each other....oh my goodness Aiden... I'm so proud of you".

What.....the.....fuck?!

I stared back at Mrs Sophie in disbelief...

Did she just....??

"Ma'am?" I ventured....just to be sure it was really her.

"Yes sweetie? Aiden's not a burden..is he? He doesn't trouble you does he?" She asked...and i just couldn't help but stare at her in wonder.

"Aiden's got a girlfriend...lala la lala". Annie sang in a mocking tone.

Her mother pushed her...."Go to your room young lady".

"Aiden's got a girlfriend... Bella's got a boyfriend....lala la lala". She made some kissing noises and her mom smacked her head.

"Mommy!" She whined.

"To your room!" Her mom ordered.

The door bell rang...

"I'll go get it..." Annie beamed and ran to the door....she yanked it open...

"Hey there little angel". I heard Mr Emerson's voice and we turned to the direction of the door.

Mrs Sophie's countenance fell as she sighted her husband...

"What is he doing here?" She mused.

Mr Emerson carried Annie shoulder high and walked in...

"Let's get the hell outta here". Aiden said, pulling me and we went out of the house.

************************************

Prom night...

"C'mon don't be a drama queen, let's take a photo of you". I said to Raven who hid herself in my wardrobe, not wanting to come out.

"I think you look great!" Mia chimed in...

She was dressed in a baby pink, strapless ball gown...her red hair beautifully permed. She looked like a Disney princess.

Too bad, no one asked her to prom...

I mean she was dead gorgeous!

"C'mon Sweetie....We'll be late for Prom night". I called out to Raven.

"I'll go...if I'm allowed to wear whatever i like... excluding ball gowns". She mumbled from the wardrobe.

"Alright...c'mon...you might get chosen as prom queen...who knows?"

"Vomit! Double vomit...like I'd ever accept to be prom queen".

I and Mia giggled....

"Okay...but I really need your help...it's difficult to decide what to wear....yunno i want to leave your brother's jaw hanging low..." I said..

That'll surely get her....

She hopped out of the wardrobe as i had expected in a flash....

"Are you serious?" She asked...

"There you are..." I smiled, viewing her outfit.

She was dressed in a black, strapless ball gown, with black princess gloves.

"You look so beautiful...why are you hiding?" I asked..

"I've never been seen in ball gowns before...short gowns, jeans and jeggins are my style". She said grumpily.

Well..it's true...I've never seen her wear a long gown before...

"I look like a freaking princess....barf!!"

I chuckled at her annoyance....

"It's just for prom....after prom you can wear whatever you want to".

She pouted and bursted out laughing when she saw Mia..

"You look like a fxcking birthday present".

It was Mia's turn to pout....

"Alright....it's time for me to dress up... maybe I'm gonna look like Cinderella's step mother or whatever..."

"You could dress like Drizella or Anastasia". Mia added.

"What should I wear?" I asked, selecting my clothes...

A knock was heard and i rushed to get it...

"From young master...ma'am". Rosita said and handed over a shopping bag to me.

"Oh... thanks".

I collected the heavy bag and walked back to my closet..

"What's in there?" Raven asked, curiosity all over her eyes.

"I don't know..." I replied, spilling the contents on my bed.

A royal blue material caught my attention and i unfolded....then stared popeyed at the beautiful sight before me.

"Oh my fxcking goodness....it's so beautiful". Raven squealed as she gazed at the dress i was now holding and checking out.

I know right?!

"Is that your dress?" Mia asked...

"What does it look like?!" I replied, suppressing a squeal....it was just so beautiful for me to behold. Then I stared at the silver heels that came with it..

"Ouuu! I'm so jealous right now..." Raven pouted.

Hell the dress and heels looked like it costed a fortune.

"Go...on...put on your dress Cinderella". Raven joshed.

*

When we arrived at the hall, we caught everyone's attention...

In my head, we walked in slow mo, as i enjoyed every bit of their awestruck stares....

"Wow!" Their jaws were literally hanging low as we walked like the princesses we were, holding the hems of our gowns...and our heads were up high....not minding the compliments we got.

Omigosh we were motherfxxking queens!!

Without crowns....hehehe

Raven took a cocktail from one of the attendants that was serving drinks and sipped.

"I'll break his leg if he keeps me waiting". She murmured.

Lucas has got himself one hot crazy date...

"Please don't kill him". I giggled.

Then i sighted he and Carlos at the counter...

"He's over there....by the way". I pointed to his direction and she whipped her head to his direction..then cracked her knuckles.

"Come to mama..." She had a devilish smirk on her face as she walked up to them...

"Go on....Carlos is there also". I pushed a timid Mia...

"Go tell him to be your date for tonight....or you'll lose him to a bunch of chirpy bimbos". I said...

Then i went in search of Aiden....

Two people were snogging at a corner and i rolled my eyes...then almost proceeded when...

"Oh my God! Bells....you look breathtaking".

Ashley?!!

I turned back to look at the teenagers who were almost sucking away each other's faces.

"Ashley...what the fuck are you doing here?" I asked as i stared at her puzzled.

"I invited her". Jerry replied, grinning, as he checked me out...

He was the one almost sucking the life out of my cousin...

Okay since when did they start.... whatever..

"Ugh! Whatever....I see you came for your lover's prom". I said with a fake smile and left.

"Seriously...I love your gown!" She yelled.

"Yeah....you look amazing new girl".

Jerry backed her up  and i rolled my eyes.

Where in the world are you Aiden?

When i couldn't find him, i decided to give up.

I turned to go back to Mia and Raven...but was stopped by Courtney and Claudia.

Jesus Christ....can they just let me be for once?

"Aw... isn't our Cinderella beautiful?" Courtney asked Claudia with a pout as she touched my dress...

I moved back, trying to get her hand off...

She was putting on a red, formal gown and a blonde wig obviously coz I remembered cutting her hair short...

"You looked like you lost something...are you looking for something?" She asked, feigning concern.

I sighed, and looked away...

"Oh...I get it.... Cinderella is looking for her prince charming". She said just as they announced they were going to choose their prom queen and king.

"Well...I thought I heard your dear boyfriend and ex boyfriend in a heated argument, close to the gents and it looked like they were quarrelling because of you and your prince charming was gonna kill him". She continued with a pout...

Aiden and Adams? What in the world?

"And our prom queen is...Miss Courtney Campbell". The MC announced and she giggled.

"That's me..." She said and brushed past me... walking to the stage.

I picked up the hem of my dress and ran towards the gents, away from the ceremony.

"Aiden?" I called out...but got no response...

Okay seriously...I shouldn't be in the gents....

I opened the door, praying that i wouldn't run into a naked guy.

"Aiden?....Adams?" I called out.

I got in and peeked....

The door suddenly closed...

I whirled around quickly....

"A-adams?" My voice trembled as i stared at my ex boyfriend who had a smugly expression.

"Wow....to think you actually came looking for me". He smirked.

"Where's Aiden? And what the fuck are you doing here?" I scowled at him.

"You mean...the guy you dumped me for and....yeah...i was invited by that blondie.... what's her name? Christabel? Cindy? No.. Courtney...yeah!".

"What... aren't you happy to see me?" He asked, inching closer to me.

I took few steps backwards....away from him...but he still moved closer..

Till I felt a wall, stopping my movement. I gulped.

"Adams....stay back". I warned, alarmed.

"C'mon...I don't bite". He said and grabbed me, pulling me to himself.

I hit and pushed...but it was of no use.

He pinned my hands to the wall and brought his face down to my neck...

"I've missed this fragrance". He sniffed and planted a kiss on my neck that sent a shiver down my spine.

"Adams....please stop". I begged, totally powerless against him...

"I'm sorry....I can't, do you know how many girls would kill to be in the position you are, right now?.. He murmured to my neck and began to explore it....sucking and kissing.

"I don't want them....I want you".. he said huskily..

I could scream....but no one would hear me.... Not with the base of the music....

💙Third person's p.o.v 💙

"Don't you think you've gone too far this time?" Claudia whispered to Courtney who held her bouquet of flowers.

She adjusted her crown....

"I just wanted two ex lovers to reunite... that's all....is that a bad thing to do?" She pouted.

Claudia sighed and shook her head...

"Now if you'd excuse me....I have a speech to give". She stood up gracefully from her seat and catwalked to the stage while the crowd cheered for her.
