The crowd cheered loudly after we finished our dance. We stood in the row and bowed our heads then climbed out of the stage as walking towards the room to change our dress.

After a while, I heard a soft knock on the door. "Guys!!! Are you expecting anyone here? ---" No answer. Everyone was busy with their own business.


I opened the door and peeked my head outside but someone grabbed my hands and pulled me against the wall making me scream.

"Shh! It's me." I relaxed when I heard his voice. "Riya! Are you okay?" Claire asked but smirked when she saw us.

"Seems Romeo is here for his Juliet." she grinned and he winked at her. "Okay... take your time." She said and went inside.


"What are you doing?" I whispered.

"I want to see you."


"But we met just an hour ago." I point out.

"You look so beautiful in this dress, I can't take my eyes off you." He whispered caressing my back.

I moaned when his hand contacted my bare waist. I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled him closer. He nibbled my neck and sucked them hardly leaving there a hickey.

"Huhhump!" A throat cleared and I pushed him away. "Claire!" I whined when I saw her recording the scene on her phone.

"Well... we are leaving. If you have finished your work, you can come with us or we will take our leave."

"No! I am leaving." Kayish scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "Hey! Don't forget to send the video before your friend forces you to delete this." He laughed and walked away.

"Kayish!!!" I shrieked and heard his faint laugh while the girls were giggling beside me.

Ahhh! What a Shame!!!! I buried my face between my hands and entered the room to change my dress.

Finally, everything is over and it's time for announcing the winner. Claire clutched my hand, her eyes focused on the host who was holding a letter pad.

"The winner is Claire and Team." The hosts announced and we jumped out of excitement. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Claire shrieked and hugged me tightly.

After that everyone left and Claire offered me a drive. Once again I called Kayish but he didn't attend his phone.

"Okay!" I agreed and we started to walk towards the parking area. Why he didn't attend the phone?

"Riya!" Joseph Nivin, my classmates called my name.

"Yes, Joseph?"

"Kayish is fighting with Jason near the pool. He is nearly to kill him. Go and stop him." He planted.

Ohh, God! Not again. I ran towards the pool where they are fighting. Once I reached the pool, I grabbed his shoulder and tried to push him away from Jason's unconscious body.

"Haven't I warned you to stay away from my girl but still you are daring to do such a sin. Aren't you?" He kicked his stomach.

"Kayish enough!" I yelled on top of my lungs. He looked at me and again kicked him on his stomach.

"You are never ever going to change. I hate you!" I cried out of agony. He raked his fingers through his hair and gave me a murderous look.

He then collected something from the wet floor which looked like paper and handed it to me. His eyes were red shoot like his beast is on charge.

It looks like a photo but the first one was blurred so I flipped the second one and my world happened to stop the moment my eyes set on them.

I can't believe my own eyes!! I flipped the photos one by one, for a second I forgot to breathe.

It's me and a boy making out in naked from. The whole body part was visible. I felt a weird knot on my stomach and I want to puke.

The photos slipped out of my hands. I felt dizzy and my world started to spin around.

"It's not me." I whispered tears were pooling down through my cheeks. He clenched his jaw and looked at his unconscious body.

He then collected the photos from the wet floor and started to rip them into pieces. "It's my last warning!! If anyone tries to harm my girl, I won't hesitate to burn them alive," he shouted.

"She is mine!!! Mine only." With that, he crashed his lips against me possessively in front of everyone.

I buried my head on his chest and sobbed hardly. I can't believe this, someone tried to trick me and harm our relationship.

"Shhhh! Don't cry." He wiped my tears and kissed my forehead. My legs gave up already and I felt weak somehow he noticed my state and carried me in his arm as a bridal style.

I put my hand around his neck and listened to his steady heartbeat which somehow calmed my throbbing heart.

"Why?" I asked.

He looked down at me. "What do you mean?"

"Why you didn't believe those photos? Why did you trust me?" I can't help but ask. If I had in his shoes I would have freaked out.

"Because you are worth my trust," He answered in a single line and carried me to his car.

My eyelids became to heavy and I closed my eyes welcoming the darkness.

"How are you feeling now?" Claire asked me handing me a glass of juice and took a seat near me. I badly wanted a tea but as you know I am allergic to coffee, I can't take the risk.

There is a chance to misplace coffee instead of tea. Then for sure, I will die. And the pain—it will be unbearable. So I never dare to take the risk.

If I had in my home, I would have made tea for myself and have relaxed a bit in my comfy bed because I won't trust anyone except me. But my bad luck, I am on my way to college.

"Not bad Claire but My head is still pounding. I don't know when it is going to stop." I whined like a child rubbing the spot where I felt the throbbing pain.

"If you don't mind, I will make tea for you." She asked feeling guilty.
