Chapter 19
Bailey’s pay
Thad successfully avoided Kaleh for the first half of the day and tried my best to act normal in Mira’s presence.
Things would’ve been easier if I had not opened my legs for her brother.
“We need to get him back.” Misa grumble and she slammed her locker close with a bil
ore force than necessary
My brows wrinkle, my eyes drifting over to her. “Get who back?”
Mira rolled her eyes and turned around to plaster her back to the locker. “The boogeyman,”
When I do not took amused she lifted her hands in the air. “Kaleb We need to get him back for dragging us down with him. I had to clean up fucking condoms Bailey. Fucking used condoms and some were in his room!”
Iwinced, swallowing as I felt the blood d
drain from my face.
I cleared my throat and closed my locker softly, trying to regain my composure.
“Whatever you have planned, I want no part of it. “Futtered. There’s no way I’d join her this time. I was avoiding Kaleb, pranking him or even being close to him will lead to my doom.
Dramatic but it was the truth.
“Hey, your bracelet is gone.” Mira suddenly pointed out, her brows pinched as her eyes narrowed on my wrist.
My throat goes instantly dry when my eyes fall on my bare wrist.
There was supposed to be a rope friendship bracelet that Mira, Katrina and own. Each of the bracelets were different.
What stood out the most in mine was the embroidered flower in the middle
I never took it out
Until last night….
In his bed
When he was on top of me. Inside me. Moving at a pace that had me clutching the sheets.
That’s when the bracelet came undone. I felt it glide off my wrist and had not cared about it in the moment.
“Bails? Is something wrong? You look sick?” Mira asked with worry pinched in her voice. She takes a step forward to poke me.
“Hello. Earth to Bailey,” Mira snapped her fingers in front of my face but I was too trapped in my mind to even flinch.
The bracelet
It was still in Kaleb’s room. If he found it. Gosh if Mira sees it…
I hadn’t even noticed it was gone until she pointed it out
I’m so screwed.
“Hey guys” Katrina hopped over to us, a bright smile on her face until her eyes narrowed in on ma.
Chapter 19
“Why is Bailey frozen like a statue and looks constipated?” Katrina questioned in puzzlement.
I can’t believe I forgot about the bracelet.
What it
“For the love of dicks and ice cream Bailey snap out of Mira huffed in annoyance, her hands gripping my arm to shaka me out of my caging thought.
I swallowed and looked down at my wrist. “I think I forgot it at home,”
Mirabella’s brows furrowed in confusion before her eyes lit up in understanding. “Oh that, girl thought you saw Medusa and got frozen into place.”
“Medusa Mira, really?” Katrina snorted, her eyes rolling
“What?” Mira shrugged. “In this day and age anything can be possible. Look we just found out aliens are real.”
Katrina brows pinched. “They’re not.”
“They are girl. The US whatever confessed it. It’s been all over the news recently.” Mira pointed out
“Did they even have proof?” Katrina scoffed, hoisting her bag strap over her shoulder
“I will take their word for it. If they said they captured a huge dick flying over the universe I’d believe them.” Mira shrugged, her lips pursed to suppress her giggle.
“What’s with you and dicks today?” Katrina snorted out a laugh.
my brother is one.” She shrugged. “Speaking of, I need you to help us with a little prank.”
“Maybe cause my
Katrina uttered bluntly and began to walk away.
“Bailey will help with your homework!”
I snap my eyes to her. When the fuck did I agree to this?
“No 1-
Mira shot me a glare. “You shut it. You owe me.”
One of my brows lift. “I owe you what exactly?”
“I made
e you look extra hot yesterday, I mean you were already smoking but,” She flips her hair over her shoulder. “You got a hot hoe makeover by mwah.”
My nose twitched at the name. “Hot hoe makeover?”
Mira rolled her eyes. “Yes. Now keep shut and help me convince Katrina to help us get Kaleb back,” she uttered while trying to keep th Katrina.
I let out a breath and followed them, I wanted nothing to do with Kaleb, but it would be suspicious if I didn’t help her like I usually do.
In a few minutes Mira came up with a plan and it was up to me and her to execute it.
Well fuck
Lunch time the bays usually go to the court to shoot some hoops. Kaleb being one of the guys to join.
Chapter 19
We waited for them to be done with their little game and t i we began our revenge plan,
The hallway was emply tos, so it would be best to do what we planned new
“Isbe in the shower yet?” Katrina asked her expression annoyed that she was forced to partake in this.
Mira who stood close to the changing room door, peeked in a little. She gave a thumbs up.
As I get the go, I strut over to her, my heart pounding
So much for trying to avoid him.
Katrina looked around to see if any teacher was heading over here. When she gave us a silent nod, Mira and I slowly opened the door delicately
We can hear the shower running, so the boys were busy showering
Mira was in front, one hand behind her to motion to me when to stop and when to follow behind.
We crept up to Kaleb’s locker where sure enough his clothes were scattered on the bench before his locker,
“Nasty idiot. Well, time for payback.” Mira smirked, her teeth flashing and making me wince
She quickly grabbed all of his clothes, turned around and nod. We both quickly made our way back to the door to head out…..
But
t.We had not expected Kaleb to be done with his shower.
We both froze as a half naked Kaleb strolled out of the shower, a towel hang low on his hips and one in his hand running through his wat strands.
His upper body was toned, six pack abs that taunted me and reminded me of how they felt last night on my skin. The water drops that rolled down his impressive torso did not help. Especially when they disappeared in the opening of his towel.
My eyes lift and they connect to his instantly and my breath catches in my throat.
