Sometimes mistakes happen.. by K. Harris (free ebook reader for pc txt) 📖

goofy smile on his face. I often see this look on guys when I was in my uniform. But surely he wasn’t admiring me?

“So, how was shopping?” I asked.

Marks paused, looking at me out the corner of his eyes. He looked nervous.

“Oh. Good. Quite good.” He mumbled before starting the car.

We talked about movies on the way to my house. I noticed there was a strange car at my house but no sign of Dads car? I looked at Mark worried. He knew what I was about to ask.

“I’ll come in with ya.” He also seemed worried.

We walked towards the front door and seen the door was actually open. I pushed the door open and see everything was a mess. I looked into the kitchen to see Alia tied to the kitchen table. I immediately begin to panic. I untied her and she went flying upstairs. We ran up behind her. We heard a scream. I knew that scream… Angela. I bolted into my room to see Alia pinning Angela to the ground. I called for Alia to get off.

“That mutt almost bit me! Angela yelled. She looked at me and went pale.

“Sarah.. I’m sor-“ I cut her off.

“What are you doing in my room?!” I yelled.

She looked around and back to me. She didn’t answer.

“Mark, call the police.” I didn’t take my eyes off Angela. She looked horrified.

“You have 1 minute to get out Dads house.” I histed.

Angela stood and she looked angry.

“You cannot kick me out my own house! Nor speak to me that way.” She whined.

I heard Mark in the hallway on the phone. I then heard yelling from downstairs. Thank god it’s Dad. He bolted into my room, glaring at Angela.

“Get out MY house Angela!” he screamed. I stood back to let Dad take over. She slapped him across the face. Mark poked around the corner and held his phone up. He was recording. Smart boy!

“I wouldn’t do Angela.” Dad histed. She slapped him again before realising Mark was recording. She went to my desk and pushed my trophies off the top, top shelf. Then pushed off my DVD’s. I was mad.

“If you EVER want me in your life get out right now!” I yelled angrier than before.

She snapped her head to me. She looked me in the eye. She’s drunk. I could see it in her eyes.

I could hear the police pulling out the front. I heard voices yelling. Mark rushed downstairs and came back up with 3 police officers. One walked over towards Angela.

“Ma’am you’re under arrest.” He went to grab her wrists but she pushed the cop away. All three cops pinned her down to put cuffs on her. She was screaming. They said her rights then took her out the door. Dad followed them down.

I looked around my room. Everything was practically destroyed. I felt Mark beside me. I continued to look at the mess before me.

“I’ll help you clean up.” He smiled. He had an arm around me. He was warm, I leant my head into his shoulder.

“Thank you.” I sighed.

Of all the timing, the day before my party. Only Angela would be such a witch and ruin my birthday. Mark helped me clean up my room and the lounge room. It still didn’t look nice though. I sat on the couch between Dad and Mark. I was now just upset.

“Well I guess tomorrows off.” I sighed.

Dad put his warm arms around me and kissed my forehead. He began smiling.

“Actually I have some news.” He smirked.

“What is it?” I sighed once again. I had no excitement in me.

“I’ve got a suit booked for you all. It’s practically the size of a house. It’s the hotel 3 blocks away. The V.I.P suit. All yours and doesn’t even matter if you leave it messy hun.” He smiled patting my back lightly.

I began to smile. I didn’t like when he spoilt me so much but at the moment, it felt really nice.

“Thank you.”  Smiled, letting out a tear.

He kissed my forehead and passed the key into my hand.

“I had organised it this morning, no offence but good timing on your mother going on a rampage.” He let out I small laugh. I smiled shaking my head, he always finds a way to cheer me up.

I walked Mark back to his house. It was beginning to get a bit chilly outside. I was still in my cheer uniform. We got to his front door step and he turned back to me. He began to smile.

“What if we did a weekend long party? To cheer you up?” he smiled. It gave me butterflies.

“That actually sounds like fun, here, my phone. I’ll go home and change and you can ring everyone. Ill meet you here before going, tell Abby to bring a heap of movies.” I smiled and gave him a hug. He was warm. He wrapped his arms around me. The hug lasted a few minutes before I let go. I went to turn around and he pulled me back, He took his jacket off and put it around my shoulders.

“Wouldn’t want you to catch a cold.” He smiled. He walked inside.

I had butterflies all through my body. I paced back to Dads. I ran up stars into the bathroom. I put Marks jacket on the basin and had a quick shower. I got out after about 5 minutes. Wrapped myself in a towel and walked to my room. I wore a matching black and blue bra and undies. Black skinny jeans, a blue singlet and my blue vans. I grabbed my sports bag and repacked it with spare clothes. I had a jumper sitting on top. I walked back into the bathroom and put Marks jumper on. It smelled of him. It made me smile, a lot. I walked downstairs with my bag and grabbed the esky from the kitchen table and filled it with snacks, drinks and more snacks. It was full. Dad came in and let out a small laugh. I turned to see him with a raised brow.

“What?” I asked confused.

“Nice jacket Sar.” He smirked. I instantly blushed.

He ended up dropping me off at Mark and Abby’s. When I got there I noticed about 5 cars. Mark was packing his Ute. He turned to see Dads are parking and walked over. Him and dad lifted the esky on the Ute. Dad kissed my cheek and left.  There was 17 of us in total. We split into 4 cars. I was with Mark, Abby and Jane. We checked into the hotel and headed up to the suit. It was on the third floor. Dad was right about the size. It was MASSIVE!

“Well, he wasn’t kidding.” Marked mumbled. I laughed.

We unpacked, ate and all sat in the living room. It had a big L shape lounge that sat 10 people. We found a heap of bean bags, pillows and blankets so we created one giant bed. All of us sat and began a movie marathon of the one and only, Iron MAN! (My favourite movie!)

I looked down at my phone, 10:47pm.

We’d almost finished the 3rd movie. I jumped up and grabbed Abby and pulled her into the kitchen.

“We should play true and dare.” I said smiling.

Abby seemed excited. We grabbed the bowl of Eminem’s and headed back to the lounge room. The movie just finished.

“GUYS! Gals, we’re playing truth or dare!” Abby yelled. We all sat in a giant circle.

Abby went first, she asked Jane truth or dare.

“Truth.” Jane smiled.

“Who was your first kiss?” Abby smiled.

Jane went red. I couldn’t figure out why?

“I- ugh.. haven’t had it yet.” She mumbled. I was shocked.

No one continued the topic. It continued on before long it was Xavier’s turn.  He was tall, skinny but with slight muscle. He had black hair, brown eyes and a slight beard.

“Truth or dare…. Mark!” he laughed.

“Dare.” Mark smirked.

Xavier smiled looking around the group, his eyes landed on me. Oh no.

“I dare you, to kiss Sarah on the cheek, every time a truth is chosen.” Xavier sung.

His totally getting punished for this.

“Uhm. Alright.” Mark smiled.

Everyone made that ‘Naww’ sound and the game continued. After 2 people it landed on me. Abby asked me truth or dare. Either way I’m doomed.

“Dare?” I bite my lip. Abby smiled.

“I dare you to kiss Mark, on the lips, every time someone says dare.” Abby sung proud.

Mine and Marks eyes met. He was smiling, with a slight blush.

“Fine.” I smiled getting up. I sat next to Mark getting ready to ask someone. I turned to look at Mark.

“Mark, truth or dare?” I had a wide smile. I’m about to be kissed either on the cheek or ill be kissing his lips..

“Dare.” He was smirking.

“I dare you, to wear 3 items of clothing of my choosing for the rest of this game.” I already had an evil idea. Now I had to kiss him..

I looked at his blue eyes. They were bright, stunning.. I could stare all day. He closed his eyes, I closed mine. Within seconds our lips met. It was amazing, sweet, warm and purely amazing. It lasted half a second before I pulled back. He was red in the cheeks. With a big smile. I was also blushing. We looked back at everyone who was now staring at us in awe. It was annoying. I laughed. I got up and went to the room us girls are staying in.

I grabbed crop top and a pair of my trackies. These pants were made perfectly to define girls’ asses. This would be hilarious. I took the items into the lounge and sat them on his lap.

“Your third item is your own jocks, don’t want ya junk touchin my pants.” I sighed.

Everyone cracked up laughing. Mark got up and changed in the next room. He came back in. he actually looked even more cute.

“I look fab.” He said with a girly voice.

We continued the game. I kissed him another 8 times and he kissed my cheek about 10. It was now Janes turn.

“Sarah, truth or dare?” Jane winked.

“Dare.” I laughed. I did wanna kiss him again I admit.

“ I dare you to spend 5 minutes in the third bedroom with Mark.” She winked again. Everyone began to look at me. Before I could reply Mark stood up. Oh no, his embarrassed..

“Well, off we go.” He smiled putting his hand out for mine. He helped me up and we talked into the third room. We shut the door.

“So, 5 minutes.” I bit my lip.

He smiled and sat on the bed.

“We don’t have to do anything. We could just talk.” He smiled.

He made my heart melt. His just so sweet.

“I still got to kiss you though, after all I chose dare.” I smiled.

He smiled widely and pulled me on his lap. Our lips met. I wrapped my arms around his neck. His arms around my waist. It was a passionate kiss. He gave me access to use my tongue. We deepened the kiss. It felt like it had only been a few seconds when the door was knocked on.

“It’s been 5 minutes!” Xavier yelled.

I released and sat beside him. I was amazed how much I wanted to kiss him again. He got up and walked to the door, he signalled for me to stay. Why though?

He opened the door, “We quit the game, catchya.” He smiled before shutting the door.

He came back and helped me up, I was red in the cheeks. I closed my eyes and we began to kiss again. I was pressed against his body. It was warm. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He lifted me to his hips. I wrapped them around his waist. The kiss continued, we stopped for a moment to breathe. He walked over with me still around him to the bed and let me down gently. He brought is body over mine. I laid, my arms around his neck. We kissed deeply once again. I was pulling on the top (well, my top) and pulled it off him, breaking our
