Chapter Part 9
”Where have you been Zoe?” Luke’s voice welcomed her. She wasn’t in a relationship with Luke but her heart felt like she had cheated on him with Alex.
Zoe wondered what was going on with her? These guys were never going to think about her. She was never the type of girl they would never in their life think of going out with. She needed to put all the thoughts about them out of her life.
”I went to Bella for her party?” Zoe finally found her voice.
”About the k**s.” Luke tried to bring it up but Zoe was quick to catch him short. ”Luke, the k**s was a mistake made by the jiggling of the store. You don’t have to explain yourself because I know that already. Moreover, I’m sleepy because tomorrow is school.” She finally said,
She didn’t want them to talk about the k**s. She knew he wasn’t interested in her and was only finding a way to apologize to her so he wouldn’t feel guilty.
”Goodnight Zoe?” Luke said as he strolled upstairs to his room.
Zoe facepalmed her head feeling a sigh of relief wash over her body as she strolled upstairs to her room. The next morning, she woke up feeling tired and vulnerable.
Zoe Wondered if parties are always tiring and hazardous? Thanks to Dora, she was getting late for school today. She instantly took a shower wore her uniform and went downstairs.
She noticed her dad in the kitchen making some pancakes.
”Da__aad?” She strengthened.
”look who we have awake?” her dad let out setting the pancakes on the table.
”Dad, there is school today! Why didn’t you bother waking me up?” she asked, occupying the empty seat in the dining.
”Derick just left saying you must have had little liquor and needed some sleep,” He said, staring at her. ”Okay, she had just a glass of that drink. But it totally wasn’t alcoholic but why did she feel such headaches?” she whispered to herself while touching her head.
”Luke said you don’t need to go to school today?” Dad plainly said before she could say a word he had gone further to still interrupt her. ”He was going to tell the school authority that you feel sick and you can’t make it to school. Apparently, you don’t need to bother.” Her dad finally explained and she felt a bit relieved.
”He left you something on the kitchen counter,” Dad said.
“Aren’t you going to ask me anything about last night?” Zoe asked. “Of course not, I’m leaving for work and Lilian left for her work in the hospital already.” Her dad made it known to her.
She stepped to the kitchen counter to glimpse a hangover drug and a little paper glued close to the medication. She stared at the glued paper as it read!
“Don’t forget to have your meal before taking the hangover drugs.”
Zoe could feel her cheeks heat up as they turned total pink. She dragged herself upstairs to her room as the house felt empty as usual. She instantly took out her phone to call Dora, she wanted to tell her about the seven minutes in heaven game she and Alex had played but the phone went like.
‘The number you are trying to dial cannot be reached.’
“Oh not again,” Zoe cursed in frustration.
She was about to dial for the third time as her phone began to beep loudly.
Thankfully it was from Dora. She sighed heavily before picking up the phone.
She thought about how she was going to break the news to Dora that she was bored at the party and Lisa was kind enough to have asked her to join a game which she willingly joined.
Then she was teamed with Alex to play seven minutes in heaven which they totally kissed and she loved every bit of the kids they shared. Zoe touched her head feeling a bit crazy and weird.
”Hey Zoe, why do you keep calling?” She asked grossly. ”I wouldn’t keep calling if you had just picked up your call,” Zoe Said at the top of her voice as she paced around the room trying to start up the conversation.
She was going to start telling her what transpired yesterday night when she heard Dora yell out loudly. ”Dora are you okay? Did something happen?” Zoe asked but she wasn’t responding, which frightened Zoe.
”Zoe WTF?” she screamed, making Zoe curious. ”What the f*****g problem Dora?” she asked.
”There is a f*****g video of you and some dude all over the internet right now, the video feels like you guys were in a real S****l scene.” Dora yelled. ”What do you mean by a video of me and some dude in a s****l scene?” she asked Dora, feeling troubled.
”I’m going to send it to you right away,” she said before hanging up the phone. Zoe held onto her phone tightly as she paced around the room.
Finally, a message came through. She sat on her bed while she pondered on whether to open the video or not. Soon enough she came to a conclusion as she opened the file sent from Dora.
It was a video of her and Alex in the room as she m****d from the k**s he placed on her body all over the internet. The most outrageous thing about that video was that Alex’s face was blurred.
Zoe sat on her bed as a watery substance dripped down her cheeks as the salty taste lingered on her lips. Did Alex do this to humiliate her on purpose? Zoe took her jacket as she strode to the house of Alex.
She was very furious at him and she felt disgruntled. What did she ever do to him to warrant such a shameful video, it was totally okay if it was a video of them just smooching but this was clearly an edited video of her remembering to m**n all over the f*****g internet.
She finally rang the bell of the Gilbert residence, the door was opened by the lady from the last time. ”Hello young lady?” She said, staring. ”Please is Alex in?” she asked, straining her eyes. ”Sure, you can come in?” She said,
”Did you all skip school today or there might be a special occasion I don’t know about?” the lady asked but that was not Zoe’s main aim of being here. ”I’m leaving for the grocery store, he’s going to be with you soon.” She said before leaving.
Zoe soon noticed Alex strolling down the stairs all shirtless, it had been some hours since she last saw him! How in the world could she have forgotten how hot he looked in such a short time?
It was definitely a great view to watch him wake up in the morning, his curly dark hair looked so messy but still looked hot and sexy. He used his hand to brush through his hair as he strolled toward the kitchen. Didn’t he f*****g notice that she was visible? He opened the cupboard as he brought out a hangover pill.
He walked toward her before handing her the hangover pills with a cup of water. ”You should have some of this?” He said handing her the pills and cup of water causing their hand-brush each other.
Zoe didn’t know why but it was definitely strange how their hands slightly patting gave her many thrills inside her body. ”I don’t need a hangover.” she said dropping the pills and cup of water on the table close by. He turned as he gave me her half-smile.
Zoe could have said something at that very moment but him giving her that glimmering face made her lose her breath.
“Why? Did you come here so we could finish up what we started yesterday?” Alex said as a sexy smirk played out across his lips.
