SZNS SERIES 1: Summer Maria Writes (ebook pc reader .txt) 📖

a sibling but her mother had some sort of ovarian disease that hindered her ability to conceive. So, it was just her, then luckily, she met Caroline. They became inseparable ever since.

Her parents thought of adopting for her to have a sibling but she declined. At a young age she doesn't like the thought of sharing her parents to anyone not blood related. And her parents understood what she wants. That is why her childhood is boring. She dwells her childhood days in learning different musical instruments, voice lessons, studying foreign language, and more. She was also homeschooled during her pre-school days, then Caroline became their neighbor and that is how they became friends.

Speaking of the bitch, she grabbed her phone below the chair and dialed Caroline's number, it didn't take her long enough to answer the call. In just to rings, she already heard Caroline's voice.

"Thank God, you're a life saver."

"Well, yep that's me. How's the gathering? We missed you here Care. You should have just come with us.

Caroline let out a sigh "My mom is a freaking liar. Remember Nate Tulle? Our weird, nerdy neighbor before. Well, he's changed now; he doesn't wear thick glasses and doesn't looked like a bowling ball anymore. I mean he is so hot now, if you could only see his eyes, oh my god. So, my mother said that we are going to a family event, but she lied. She met up with her friends and she wants to introduce me. Then you know what she said? She wants me to marry Nate. Then I declined. I mean, yeah, his hot, but still. She can't just joke about marriage. I've never seen Nate for like ten years. And Caroline Tulle doesn't have a ring to it, don't you think? And what about Britany? I can't just dump her. Yes, she said we're done, but I know she's joking. Chloe what should I do? I'm freaking out here."

"Well maybe you should talk to your parents about it. Then decline politely. Even I want to see Caroline and Britany endgame, but let me see Nate first. I might change my mind." then she hangs up without hearing Caroline's reply. She's sure that her friend will just complain about being married to their former nemesis.

Chloe is put her phone on her bag and closed her eyes. She was taking a nap when someone sat on the sand beside her chair. She didn't open her eyes and just let that person there. She was guessing who that might be, when the man beside her spoke?

"Why do you have to be so beautiful, Ginger?" It's Jesse. And he finds me beautiful. She can feel her cheeks warming up. She didn't open her eyes but she replied making Jesse startled.

"You should ask my parents. They have exquisite genes." she laughed and open her eyes to stare at Jesse, only to realize that their distance is just an inch away. Their faces are almost touching. She can feel his breath fanning on her lips. She can't help but bit her lips and stare deep into his eyes. Damn, that dreamy eyes. She is lost in the depth of his eyes that she didn't realized that their face's distance is decreasing. She closed her eyes. Anticipating what will happen. Waiting for Jesse's next move. His close, she can now smell his minty breath. His lips were about to touch hers when her phone rang.

Chloe immediately opened her eyes and grabbed her phone. She looked and Jesse and just saw him chuckled. She answered the call without looking at the caller ID. "Who the f*ck is this!?" she exclaimed.

"Chloe Celestia King, don't you dare curse at your mother!"

Her eyes widen and looked at her phone screen. Well, it was indeed her mother. And she's dead for cursing.

"I'm sorry mom. The call woke me up, I was taking a nap. What's up?" she getting nervous. Her mother despises bad manners. She remembered being grounded for a month just because she shouted out of anger.

"I just want to ask if you can come home for your father's birthday next week? I'll be throwing a party for him, but it's a surprise. Help me buy all the stuff I need, okay?"

"I'm available tomorrow mom, just text me. I have to go now; I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay, dear. I love you."

"I know, momma. I love you too. Bye."

She hangs up and saw a message from Caroline containing a photo of a handsome man. Maybe 6 foot in height, tan skin, muscles in the right place. So, this must be Nate Tulle 2.0, what a glow up. She scrolls through the photos that Caroline sent her. This girl has the audacity to capture some stolen shots of this man.

She got to admit, he’s good looking now.

She quickly typed a reply to Caroline while laughing.

From Chloe: Now tell me you don't want to marry him.

She was still chuckling to herself when she heard someone cleared their throat. She didn't realize that Jesse was still sitting beside her. She rolled her eyes at him and continued her nap. She should have been asleep by now if Jesse didn't bother her earlier. She's already feeling sleepy when she felt a towel laid on her back.

It must have been Jesse. He has been on her side the whole day. He has been very attentive of her. And she liked it.

Though she still preferred keeping her distance away from him. Chloe is trying her best not to get too close, but sometimes she can't help it. Especially when his looking at her as if she's a goddess. It's confusing her. She's scared of where this will lead her.

Shrugging of all her thoughts, she forced herself to sleep. But what she was expecting as a peaceful slumber was turned into a Jesse-filled nightmare.

She quickly gets up from
