Beck Oliver’s POV

 

 

 

 

The phone stopped ringing and I texted her Then I tucked the phone into my trousers



 

 

I’m busy

 

 

 

Me: Tori let’s get to work

 

She came forward

 

Tori : but this place looks pretty clean to me

 

I looked around

 

 

 

Me: well, let’s still get some things in order.

 

 

 

She crossed her arms

 

Tori: okay, you can get some things in order

 

 

 

She went to the couch and sat down then brought out her phone

 

 

 

What a lazy girl

 

 

 

I turned and went to the dinning table, I then took some gloves from the kitchen and began to push the coconut shafts and straws into the trashcan.

 

Then I cleaned the table and arranged the chairs

 

I looked back at Tori who now had her ear plugs on and nodding her head rhythmically.

 

 

 

I shook my head and went to the kitchen, I first of all washed my hands then washed the dishes. I checked his fridge and saw some raw spaghetti.

 

I brought a bowl and took little of it, enough to feed two people.

 

I took a clean pot and set it on the cooker. Added water then washed the spaghetti and poured it into the pot.

 

 

 

I went to the fridge again and took out some necessary ingredients.

 

 

 

In less than two minutes, my sauce was already frying in a pan.

 

If only I could get some chicken to add and make the meal complete.

 

 

 

I washed my hands after turning off the gas and I mixed the spa and the sauce. And my spaghetti was ready to be served

 

I went back to the living room and snatched the phone from Tori

 

 

 

Tori : hey what was that for?

 

Me: are you this lazy?

 

 

 

She crossed her arms

 

Me: now be a good wife, get up and assist your husband

 

 

 

She chuckled

 

I pulled her up and made her arrange the pillows on the couch

 

 

 

Me: when you’re done with that. Take the vacuum cleaner over there and make this room spotless. Do you understand?

 

 

 

Tori : yes sir

 

I nodded and went to the bedroom with her phone.

 

I arranged the bed and used the plastic broom to sweep the floor and I packed the dirt into the trashcan in his room

 

 

 

I came back to the living room and almost laughed at the sight I saw. Tori was sweating and panting

 

 

 

Me: just to vacuum a little room?

 

She looked at me as I moved closer

 

 

 

Tori: you’re so wicked. You said this was going to be fun and that we were going to dance

 

 

 

I laughed and took the vacuum cleaner from her

 

Me: I’m sorry. I even forgot about the music

 

 

She sat on the couch and I smiled and gave her a tissue to clean her face I squatted and watched her clean her face.

 

 

She’s so pretty, even without makeup

 

 

 

Me: close your eyes

 

Tori: why

 

 

 

Me: just do it

 

She closed her eyes and I stood up and walked to the back of the couch, directly behind her

 

 

 

I bent over and held her face then kissed her lips. She smiled into the kiss and kissed me back. I unlocked

 

 

Me: now just help me by arranging the flowers beside the TV while I go check out the bathroom

 

 

 

She kissed my lips and stood up

 

Tori: okay. But promise me we’re gonna dance

 

 

 

Me: definitely…

 

 

 

Tori Vega’s POV

 

 

 

I finished arranging the flowers and was about to go when I saw a paper in a flower vase

 

 

 

Me: what’s a paper doing here?

 

I brought it out and it was an envelope ✉ and OPEN ME was broadly written on it

 

 

 

 

I dropped it on the table and went to check on Beck

 

 

 

Me: Beck?

 

He came out almost immediately

 

 

 

Beck: hey baby

 

He pecked my cheek

 

 

 

Me: are you done?

 

Beck: yeah, just finished

 

 

 

Me: okay. I’m done too, can we get going now. I’m really hungry

 

 

 

He smiled and held my hand then led me to the kitchen

 

 

 

Beck: I knew you’d be hungry so I cooked

 

 

 

I was really surprised

 

Me: Beck, you can cook?

 

 

 

He chuckled

 

Beck: of course I can. Back in Canada, I was a chef in a small restaurant

 

 

 

Me: wow…

 

I walked to the counter with him and watched as he uncovered the pot. I looked in and a sweet savour braced me.

 

 

 

Me: OMG

 

 

 

Ain’t I a lucky girl

 

 

 

Beck: grab some plates and let’s eat

 

I hurriedly moved to the plates basket and took two plates. I grabbed two spoons too and handed it over to Beck. He dished them and set them on a tray

 

 

 

Beck: get some drinks from the fridge

 

I nodded and did so

 

 

 

We walked to the dinning table and sat down to eat

 

 

 

Me: I hope this is as good as it looks

 

Beck: trust me. It is

 

 

 

I smiled as I dipped my spoon in, I lifted it up to my mouth but my gaze met Beck who’s eyes were closed. I dropped my spoon and watched him for a minute

 

 

 

Beck: amen

 

He opened his eyes and his eyes met mine

 

 

 

Me: were you praying?

 

 

 

Beck: I pray before every meal. Sometimes with my eyes closed, and sometimes while they’re open

 

 

 

Me: wow.

 

 

 

He began to eat while I watched him. He took a spoon up and brought it to my mouth

 

 

 

Beck: open up

 

I opened my mouth and he gently fed me

 

I chewed in and my eyes widened

 

 

 

Me: this is so good

 

Beck: told’ya

 

 

 

I dropped my left hand on the table and began to eat.

 

Beck is really a good cook. The food is so simple yet delicious

 

 

 

I felt something on my left hand. I looked and it was Beck’s hand. He smoothed my hand and played with my fingers. It felt so sweet. The feeling you get when your crush has body contact with you

 

 

 

I took a spoon of the food and moved it to his mouth. He opened up and took it in. A single spag slipped from the spoon and stained his lips before falling to the table. I stood up immediately

 

 

 

Me: I’ll get it

 

I took a napkin and went to his front, I lifted his face up with my index finger and gently wiped the stain off

 

 

 

Me: there you go

 

I smiled but his face was expressionless

 

I turned to go back to my seat but he stood up, turned me around and pulled me closer

 

Before I could look up, his face was already close to mine

 

 

 

Beck: kiss me

 

My eyes widened

 

 

 

Well I knew we were going to kiss but.. I didn’t expect him to ask me to do it first

 

 

 

I stared at his face closely before looking away

 

Beck: is she shy?

 

 

 

Me: no I’m not. Come on, I’ve kissed you before

 

 

 

Beck: but you haven’t totally made the first move

 

 

 

Me: yes I have…..

 

Beck: don’t argue with me. Just kiss me

 

 

 

His fingers rubbed my back and I felt tingles

 

I dropped the napkin on the table and raised my hands over his neck

 

 

 

I tiptoed a little and placed my lips on his. I closed my eyes and I felt his tongue slipping in. It felt good and just as I was about to relax and enjoy the kiss perfectly, he disengaged

 

 

 

Beck: you’re supposed to be kissing me but I’m the one taking over

 

 

 

I frowned and hit him on the chest

 

Me: is that why you had to stop the kiss. You’re so unbelievable

 

 

 

I left him and walked back to my chair

 

He sat down and crossed his arms then stared at me as I ate.

 

 

 

Me: your food will get cold

 

Beck: I’ll warm it up and eat it while you braid my hair

 

 

 

I laughed

 

Me: just because your hair is somehow long doesn’t mean it’s meant to be braided

 

 

 

Beck : we’ll break that rule

 

He sat up and then started eating

 

I smiled and tucked my hair behind my ear

✂Jade West’s POV✂

 

 

 

I checked the time and sighed

 

Me: we’re supposed to be at the game now

 

 

 

Cat: my nose feels like it’s in an oven

 

 

 

Me: then bake a cake it in

 

Cat: cup cake

 

 

 

I groaned and paced around the room.

 

A nurse came in

 

 

 

Me: are we leaving now?

 

Nurse: yes. But take this….

 

 

 

Me: no thanks

 

I pulled Cat up and led her out

 

 

 

Nurse: you need to take this medicine for her to heal quickly

 

 

 

I turned and glared at her, I snatched the envelope from her and turned to go

 

 

 

Nurse: you have to sign here…

 

I groaned loudly and glared at the nurse. She moved back a little

 

 

 

Me: give me that fucking paper

 

I snatched it from her and sighed then threw it back to her

 

 

 

I began to walk out of the room

 

 

 

Cat: sorry for the way she yelled at you. She’s a bully

 

 

 

I turned abruptly

 

Me: CAT!

 

Cat: I’m sorry. I’m so sorry!

 

I huffed and walked out. She followed me out.

 

We reached the car and I sat in. She hurriedly sat inside and I brought out my Cat strings

 

 

 

Me: give me your hands

 

Cat: oh no! But I thought you said you weren’t gonna tie me to the car seat.

 

 

 

Me: yes I said I won’t tie you to the car seat but I didn’t say I won’t tie you up

 

 

 

Cat: you’re so mean and evil

 

 

 

I tied her hands and drove to the bowling alley. I opened the door and led her out of the car

 

 

 

Me: I tied your hands so that you won’t touch anything. But if you disturb me too much. I’ll tie both your mouth and your legs

 

 

 

Cat: which means I’ll just sit down and watch you

 

 

 

Me: exactly

 

She shrugged and followed me inside

 

 

 

I made her sit down and watch me. After a while, I looked back and saw a boy trying to tease Cat. I frowned and walked there

 

 

 

Me: what’s going on here

 

Cat: Jade he’s making jest of my nose

 

 

 

I turned to the boy

 

Me: why are you making jest of her nose?

 

 

 

Boy: because she looks pathetic and I wonder who tied her up. Hahaha

 

 

 

I punched his nose and he staggered back

 

 

 

Me: before you pick on someone, try to know who they are.

 

 

 

He retorted

 

Boy: do you know who I am?

 

 

 

Me: I don’t care but don’t you dare mess with my friend

 

I pulled his arm and threw him to the ground. People gathered and watched us

 

 

 

The boy stood up and tried to punch me but I kicked his stomach and pulled him by the hair

 

 

 

Cat: do it Jade. Rip his hair off. Show him what you’ve got

 

 

 

I brought out my scissors and ripped off the bunch of hair that I packed up.

 

I let the boy fall and I went to help Cat.

 

 

 

Me: let’s go

 

We walked out of the alley

 

 

 

Cat: OMG . You were so good back there. Like a WWE star. You’re my hero

 

 

 

I sighed and sat in the car. Cat kept talking about the fight that I got exhausted and I tied her mouth to let my eardrums rest

Emily Brown’s POV

 

 

 

I paced around the balcony. What is Beck so busy with that he can’t even pick my call. I want him to come here before he takes dad out. I really want to see him again

 

 

 

I went back to the living room and met dad taking coffee

 

 

 

Me: dad are you going to your leisure house today?

 

 

 

Dad: no. I’m staying home today

 

 

 

Me:what!

 

He looked at me

 

 

 

Me: sorry, just that I wanted you to get barbecue for me again

 

 

 

He sipped his coffee and looked at me

 

 

 

Dad: well I could call Beck so you guys can go and get the barbecue

 

 

 

I jumped up

 

Me: yess!

 

I ran upstairs to go and tell Karie

Beck Oliver’s POV

 

 

 

It was time to leave and I held Tori’s waist. My jacket was in the other hand and we walked gently to the door. I saw an envelope on the table. It wasn’t there when we came in

 

 

 

Me: did you drop that?

 

I pointed to the envelope

 

 

 

Tori : no. But you should check it out. I saw it in a vase and it says OPEN ME

 

 

 

I walked to the table and picked it up

 

Me: should we open it?

 

Tori: I don’t know

 

 

 

I hummed

 

Me: hmm, let’s see

 

 

 

I opened it and there was a paper in it

 

I read it

 

 

 

Me: dear Sichowitz students, I your teacher have found you worthy and decent. This was all a test for you and you passed. Meet me in the evening and get your scripts to feature in an upcoming movie

 

Tori gasped

 

 

 

Tori: OMG, I hope he’s talking about the movie HER ROMEO

 

 

 

Me: there’s a movie like that

 

Tori: yes, I hope it’s the one

 

 

 

She took the envelope from me

 

Me: seems you’re really happy for this

 

Tori: of course I am

 

 

 

Me: so what if we refused to come for the clean up

 

I crossed my arms

 

She laughed and hugged me

 

 

 

Tori: thanks for making me come. Because of this, I’m taking you out to the most expensive restaurant tonight

 

 

 

Me: wow, she wants to spoil her boyfriend

 

 

 

We laughed and I kissed her forehead

 

Me: thank God I’m not taking my boss out tonight

 

 

 

He chuckled and we walked outside. I locked the door and we walked out of the building, hand in hand
