Chapter 12

Alia’s POV

I turned to look at Zion and he held eye contact with me, the smirk on his face made me want to kill him for being a jerk and messing with my Mum, I turned back to look at my Mum and found nothing but joy on her face.

Oh Lord this can't be happening "Mum trust me when I say I am as single as a bird, he is not my boyfriend “I said trying to convince mother, but she still had that look on her face

"How long has this been going on Alia and you didn't bother to tell your mother that you've finally gotten a boyfriend for the first time in your life “Mum said

"Mum! He is not my boyfriend he is Claire's boyfriend he was just joking with you “I said trying to convince her.

"Ma'am I am sorry about this, but Alia is still in denial, but I believe she would learn to accept me some day and be proud to f what we have “Zion. Said with a fake sad look.

"Zion stop this! Don't do this please tell my Mum the truth to think I thought you've changed “I said sadly.

"Alia Trey would you tell me the truth, are you in a relationship with him, I won't judge “my Mum said this time with all seriousness.

"No Mum am not; he is Claire's boyfriend “I said I couldn't even look my Mum in the eye.

"Then why where you kissing him? “Mum said coldly you could hear the disappointment in her voice.

"Cause I made her do it, I made her respond to my kisses, am at fault here and am sorry, I would be on my way now “Zion said and stood up.

"Thanks for the tea and change my f clothes, I really appreciate, and if you need anything please don't hesitate to come to me, am sorry Alia for putting you in this mess and am sorry ma'am for messing around with you, Lia and I are not dating, the truth is we can never date actually because we are two different people, once again I am sorry “Zion said then took his leave.

I could still feel my mother's glare on me, and I didn't dare look at her so I did the one thing I knew that would save me for now, I stood up and went to my room, I heard her sigh the.

Immediately I entered my room I locked the door and crashed on my bed, I didn't know whether to cry or smile or be sad or happy, I didn't know how to feel or what to feel at that moment, all I knew was that I was in a big mess and I needed to come out of it.

I had a pull to look out my window, maybe because I was hoping I would find Zion outside, but it was already late, I hesitated and fought the urge to look outside but, in the end, I lost as I found my legs taking me to the window, slowly I pulled the curtains and like and behold I saw Zion with hands in his pockets looking up.

I held eye contact with him, and he smiled, well I have seen many boys smile but none could be compared to the way Zion did, there was this beauty in the way he smiled, I couldn't believe he was waited for me to get here.

"Hey, I need your number you know “Zion said.

"I don't understand you Zion I don’t “I said more like whispered.

"Come down and you would, I need you Aleah said, with the way he said it, it sent chills down my spine, how could one’s voice be so intoxicating.

I bit my lips and sighed. Slowly and carefully, I made my way downstairs, I tip toed to the door not wanting to wake anyone up as it was late already, when I opened the door, the cool breeze kissed my skin making me shiver a little, that was when I realized that the single and boxer nightie, I had on wasn't going to protect me from the cold.

"Zion “I whispered.

"Hey, am over here “I heard his whisper, I turned to where he was standing and made my way to him.

"Why didn't you go home? Zion what's happening between us? everything is confusing to me right now “I said as I stood in front of him.

"What's confusing? The kisses or the fact that I want you? “Zion. Said and pulled me into his arms in one swift motion.

"Zion “I said as I placed my hands on his chest.

"Kiss me Al, want me as much as I want you, honestly I don't understand this too, I never ever thought I. I....I could want anyone this much “Zion said and for once since I knew him, he was being truthful to himself.

I pulled out if his hold and smiled at him, I didn't know where all thus was headed yet, but I could feel it was something good hopefully.

"Good night Zion, sleep well" I said to him and went back insides the house.

I tip toed back to my room and quietly locked the door; I went back to the window and that's when I saw Zion driving out.

I sighed and went to bed, as I played on my bed all I could think of was Zion and where these new developments were taking us, hopefully it was taking us to a better palace.

And those where my thoughts as sleep claimed me.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock, well since my friends practically left me, I decided it's best I learn to start doing things myself, which brings about the alarm clock.

I lazily brushed my teeth, took my bath, and combed my hair, I had this urge to look good today, so I wore a black ripped jean and surprisingly to me a cold shoulders pink top with high tops, I wore a chocker necklace and styles my hair, I applied a little make up and Even was shocked at my reflection in the mirror, when I was satisfied with how I looked I made my way to the kitchen as always.

"Good morning mundane said as I opened the fridge and got out my favorite drink, milk shakes.

"Alia Don't put yourself into something that would hurt you in the end, and when did you start sneaking out baby girl “Mum said, which made me almost throw up the milk shake in my mouth.

"Mum I know I would be careful I promise there is nothing going on between I and Zion like I said he is dating Claire and I need to go cause am late “I said and picked up the sandwiches that where on the table and left the kitchen not wanting to stay to hear her reply.

I called a taxi and off I was to school, as the taxi got closer to my school my heart beat accelerated, I didn't know why but I was so nervous, I had a weird feeling that something good or bad might happen, but I didn't know if it was to me or not.

As I entered the school and made my way to my locker people kept giving me weird looks, maybe it was because of what I was wearing, I thought.

After picking my books and locking my locker, I took a deep breath and made my way to class hopefully I would go through this day with not so much drama.

When I entered the class, I saw Zion sitting at his usual seat, I smiled at him, but he ignored me, I couldn't believe what happened, so I just quietly made my way to my seat.

The class went by quickly for me as my mind kept wondering what was wrong with Zion, I kept asking myself if I was seeing things or if they were really real.

After my three morning classes, it was time to eat at the cafeteria, Daniel and Tracy joined me on our table, and I was happy to get my friends back finally.

"Hey whore, boyfriend snatcher I would kill you I swear “Claire said angrily as she made her way to our table with Zion behind her h had a smirk on his face and would I say a wicked look in those blue eyes of his that cocky guy I knew was back.

Before I knew what was happening Claire had slapped me on the face and Zion laughed as she did it, then she brought out her phone and played the video of Zion and I kissing, I turned to look at Zion, but I found nothing in his eyes instead he just smirked then pull Claire into his arms

"Hey babe calm down I told you she means nothing to me, she’s not my type “Zion said as he pecked Claire on the forehead.

"Stay away from my man okay ugly Betty" Claire said and left with Zion.

I couldn't believe what just happened, I couldn't believe I thought Zion had changed or that he was in love with me.

"Zion! “I called angrily.

He turned and so did everyone, but I couldn't care less if everyone had their eyes on me, I needed to say this.

"Believe me when I say you are an excuse for a man, you are the most stupid boy I have ever met" I said and walked past the two of them.

"And Zion please don't forget to tell her how much you want me, you said that last night Right" I said before leaving the cafeteria, then all the tears I was holding came flowing down and I ran to the field.
