Mixed feelings by S. N. Nina Arthur (beach read .txt) 📖

The next morning, I woke up feeling sunlight on my face. It's 7:30 when I turned back, Enzo was sitting on the couch. Staring at me.

"Good morning," He Said, smiling.

"Good morning," I said and got up from the bed.

I walked towards him and kissed him on the cheek; he pulled me on his lap and kissed my neck.

"Enzo, I'll be late to school," I said,

"Don't ' go, you need to take rest," he said nuzzling into my neck.

"No, I'm ok," I said, pushing him lightly.

"Your knees are not okay, you need rest."

"I'll miss my classes Enzo, please let me go," I said to him, pouting.

He released me "Fine."

I walked towards my room and did my morning routine, took a shower, and dressed into a black self-tie halter top and white jeans. I let my hair down on my shoulder.

After taking a look at myself in the mirror, I head out.

I walked into the kitchen and saw someone cooking something.

Sensing my presence, she looked at me. It was the same woman whom I bumped into yesterday.

"Miss Foster breakfast is ready to please sit down," she said smiling at me.

She was middle-aged with tied down hair, she wore a pretty floral dress, Her face radiated warmth. She served the breakfast on my plate; she noticed I wasn't eating.

"What happened, Miss Foster?"

"Please call me Venessa and I'm waiting for Enzo"

"Oh... Mr. Francisco will join you in a minute until then you can have coffee," she said.

I see Mr. Greek god was walking downstairs, A man dressed in a black suit was walking behind him.

He walked towards me and sat beside me, That man stood behind us.

Enzo turned towards me and asked "what?"

I looked at that man, Enzo looked at him too.

"He's my bodyguard," He said casually, I turned towards him and smiled at him.

He bowed a little and greeted me "Hello Miss Foster."

"Hello?"

"My name is John Hades, you can call me John," he smiled politely.

"Hello, John" I greeted him and turned towards Enzo.

He was watching me intensely; I raised my eyebrow, he shook his head and smiling at me.

I didn't understand why he was smiling, Enzo turned towards that kitchen woman who was smiling at us.

"Jade" he called her.

She turned towards Enzo and nodded her head, she then served Enzo breakfast.

We started having our breakfast, All the time John was watching us and jade was also watching us. It was very uncomfortable for me, suddenly I feel Enzo's hand on my right thigh. I looked at him; he motioned me to eat.

"Turn around," He said with authority in his voice.

Jade turned back to the kitchen, John turned back.

I relaxed and ate my breakfast calmly.

After having breakfast, I took my bag and walked towards the garage, Paul was waiting for me in the car.

I quickly opened the door and climbed inside,

"where's Enzo," I asked him.

"Mr. Francisco said, he had a meeting at the office. So he had to leave Venessa."

"Oh..." I said.

He then drove to my school and dropped at the place, where I got down last Time.

I walked inside the school; I see Beth at her locker. I walked towards her, "hey beth" I greeted her.

She turned towards me and hugged me,

"Casey and Alyssa have been suspended from school today."

I was shocked, I pushed Beth a bit and asked her.

"what, why?"

"What why? They bullied you and your wounded Venessa."

"But I didn't complaint against them!" I said.

"I know you didn't, and you won't complain against anyone, your too good to do that," she said sarcastically.

"Then who did?"

"Who knows, I'm just happy that they're not in this school anymore."

She grabbed my hand and said, "come on let's go, don't think about them."

We walked to our classes, she went to her class and I went to mine.

When I entered my class, I saw Remond, Aron, Seth, and Zach, Sitting beside my place.

Okay, I didn't introduce Zach to you, Did I?

Okay, Zachary Johnson,

19, gray eyes, sharp nose, dimple smile, sharp jawline, tall, curly black hair, cool, silent type, cunning and... He doesn't give a fuck about the attention he gets in here.

He's from a rich family; his father is CEO of J.J. Inc, he's smartest among the other 3.

***

I walked towards my place and put my bag on my bench and sat down on my chair. They're talking to each other.

I was listening to them and pretending to do my work.

I heard Remond asking Zachary.

"How's everyone there?"

"Good," Zachary said.

"Mate, we missed you," Seth said, Seth was emotional one among the others.

Zachary just smiled at Seth.

They're talking about his vacation in Hawaii and after few minutes. The class has begun, Mr. Finn said he would give assignment about a new chapter, so he started explaining it to us.

"So students, I'm going to pair you up with other fellow students. You are going to discuss your given topic and you're going write an essay about it and submit it to me, understood."

He started to pair up everyone, and I was feeling nervous about it.

"Miss Venessa foster your partner is Mr. Zachary Johnson"

My heart skipped a beat, and I was doomed, How I am going to write this assignment when he doesn't give a talk to me.

"Mr. Johnson, because of your vacation, you weren't present in my class. So I paired up you with Miss Foster so that you can catch up on the syllabus."

Zach nodded at Mr. Fin. This is going to be a long assignment. I thought to myself. The whole day went by, it was my last period. Remond didn't even look at me neither did Aron, I was feeling grateful for that.

No Remond, then-No trouble.

The bell has rung indicating school is over, I packed my things and walked outside. While  I was walking through the corridor, Remond grabbed my hand from behind and pulled me into an empty classroom.
