Bailey’s pow
My eyes widened in shock. “What?” I whispered as his gaze bored into mine. His expresion was a mut
What the hell is he talking
Oh
The dire
Stefan, still being held by Kaleli spoke up. “I keep fucking telling him it was just a dare!
Kaleb’s eyes darken and he whipped back around, and was just about to lung for en again when I grabbed his arm
“Het him.” I whispered, clutching his arm tighter. He stiffens by my words
“He didn’t lie, it was a dare. But we didn’t really kiss.” Tadded when Felt the anger roll off of him in :
“It didn’t look like you two didn’t really kiss Bailey.”
“Well we didn’t.” I gritted my teeth, now feeling frustrated that he was mad because of the dare. Stefan and I didn’t
“And if we did, it shouldn’t be any of your concem Kaleb, et his arm go.
Kaleb snapped to face me, a chilling glare on his face. I stood my ground and lifted my chin up.
“you have no right to barge into Stefan’s home because of a stupid dare uttered, folding my arms. “Especially when I am not the
He flinched, his eyes dimming with hurt before the pop of his jaw indicated that i struck a nerve.” How can you possibly think you are not important
“Wait.“Stefan cuts in, wiping the blood trailing down his chin. “What’s going on here? Are you two together or somethin
and me, his brows drawn in confusion
“No I rushed out the second Kaleb responded with a yes.
He looked between Ka
I should have been happy to hear him claim me in front of the boys but I felt anything but that I felt the tingling feeling in my stomach that revealed my nerves and the tickling feeling on my neck.
I was squirmy and kind of imitated that we did not speak about our relationship enough for him to claim me in front of them. Especially when we had issues having to do with Juliet and now the dare.
We clearly had to talk.
Ryan and Stefan look between the two of us confused.
I glared at Kaleb while he glared right back at me.“Yes we are” Kaleb gritted out every word, rubbing his teeth in frustration
I tipped my chin up to show that he did not intimidate me.“We are not. Not until-
He took a step forward and cut in “Until what Bailey? Until I marry you, impregnate you? Until
My mouth slackened and so did Ryan and Stefan’s. Their eyes are as wide as mine, completely shocked by Kaleb’s words.
I flushed and looked away. “It’s too early to even talk about this Kaleb. We’re still in high school and-
He’s almost pressing up against me when he takes that step forward and I held my breath. This is our future Bailey. It’s already set. Have you forgotten

what i said to you last night? You’re mine. And I am yours.”
I am not sure what to say, in fact, I am tongue tied to the point can only stare at him silently
“Uh-“Ryan cleared his throat.“It looks like you two need to talk privately. Stefan.”
Looking at Ryan and Stefan, I whispered. “Can we keep this to ourselves don’t want Mira to know yet Hooked down in shame, wondering why I didn’t have the courage to tell Mira as yet
I would at least want her to know about it through me first.
“Your secret is safe with me Bailey,” I can hear the smile in Ryan’s response. “It’s not my place to tell anyway.”
I lift my head only to see him spare a glance at Kalebs while he whispered. “I get why you’re scared to tell her.” Looking back at me he coiled. Hopefully one day you will be able to tell her.”
It felt he said it for the both of us His eyes swept to Stefan who stayed rooted where he was and staring at me stunned. Stefan,” Pyan called out to him
again
meone last time
This time Stefan’s gaze drew away from mine and he nod silently. Ryan motioned with his head to follow him and Stefan glances at me one
before following him out of the room quietly.
Now that it is just Kaleb and me, the tension in the room spins.
I scan his features that now dotted with more frustration and hurt.
I shook my head, frowning, “You have no right to feel this way Kaleb. Remember you left with Juliet, God knows what you two done.”
His forehead creases into a frown at my words “is that why you went ahead and had Stefan kiss you? Because I brought Juliet home?”
I scoffed. “If only you had actually brought her home and not in your bed. I know she slept in your bed Kaleb.”
l
I try to keep my voice stern but I will not lie and say I am not hurt by this. It was very clear to me that I am falling for Kalebs. And perhaps I am already too far gone.
He finched, his eyes storming before he nod.”
- d. She did,” “he admit. His admission made my stomach twist with unease and I swallowed
“Okay,” I whispered. At least he was honest with me this once.” Then I guess this is it.”
I turn around to leave, blinking back the sting in my eyes. This shouldn’t hurt as much as it did right now, but it does.
But fingers wrap around my wrist, stopping me from walking away. His hold was gentle, but firm, keeping me from resuming my
I stay facing the door, not wanting him to see the evident hurt in my eyes at his admission
She slept in my bed Bailey, but I didn’t sleep beside her. I slept on the couch His voice was gentle, like a teacher trying to soothe a wailing child. “What you’re thinking is not what happened.”
I ground my teeth and clench my hands and whirled around to shoot him a glare. “Not what I think Kaleb you’re a player, I don’t trust your words night now.” Isnapped.
He still had a firm grip around my
wrist and he uses that to draw me closer. My front press against his and I sucked in a sharp breach through my nose.
His eyes narrowed down on me and can see his expression clouding over with frustration, get it?” He hissed and dipped his head lower until our eyes are leveled,
“You are it for me. You’ve always been it for me. The second kissed you, tasted you, hell you’ve always been it for me Flower. I just now that I do, I am not going to let you go.”
