Forever haunted

Chapter 5

JACKSON’s POV

There was a girl standing over a guy in a threatening position , she had the most voluminous golden waves I’ve ever seen , she also has beautiful golden skin to compliment .

Her cheekbones were high , she has the most perfect eyebrows and everything about her is simply amazing.

She’s wearing a white tank top and white shorts stopping right on her knee, with puma ballerina shoes .

I don’t even realize when I make my way towards her , “excuse me , you’re the most beautiful wo—“ she holds her hand in front of my face , “stop it , do you not see I’m busy” she says in a perfect British accent .

“This thick skulled , one missing chromosome , walking mistake thinks he can harass my best friend over there “ she points to a lady behind her , that I never noticed .

She’s beautiful as well with honey brown hair and a pale skin .

I move her from the way and give the guy a slap across the face , I’m sure I’ve seen him somewhere around school before .

“Don’t ever do it again , now run” I pull him up by his shirt and say to his ears , loud enough that she can hear. I push him back and he stands up and runs away .

I turn back to my damsel , “what do you think this is ? A scene in a Cinderella ?” She says with a stern look on her face .

“Hey , I was just trying to help” I hold my hands up in surrender .

“I didn’t ask for your help “ she says walking away with her best friend in hand.

“You better keep your distance “ she warns finally

“Atleast let me give you a ride “ I shout

She lets out the most beautiful but strange laughter I’ve ever heard , she takes out her keys and unlocks a JETOUR T2 , “I wish I was a damsel in distress for you to save unfortunately you need saving from me “.

She gets into the car and I can’t just let her go , I want her and I will get her .

I run to her car and I tap the windows , “ are you silly ? Do you want to break it ?” She yells at me

“Your name , just tell me your name “ I say to her basically pleading now

“Then what ? , I tell you my name then what ? I don’t subscribe to whatever it is you want “ she says

“I want to take you out on a date , just one date and if you don’t want me I’d leave you alone “

“You promise? “ she says with a mock pleading her eyes .

I nod , my heart is full as she looks like she’s about to tell me .

“ my best friends name is Vanessa , mine is on my number plates “ she says and drives away .

“Althea” I say reading it off her number plates .

I walk back to my car repeating her name like a nursery rhyme .

“Vanessa and Althea”

I get home and immediately start searching through i********: ,Snapchat, twitter even LinkedIn wasn’t left out .

I found that her name is Althea Basset , her major is fashion design and business management, she’s graduating next year and she lives in Wimbledon London.

She’s the heir to her family’s multibillion dollar fashion house , B&B couture .

She’s an only child .

On the other hand Her best friend Vanessa , has a twin brother Evan . She majors in economics , also graduating next year , she lives in Wimbledon as well . Her parents own the Atkin bank , the most prestigious bank scattered across Europe .

These girls are walking bounties , instead of dating her I can just kidnap her,

But then I won’t enjoy the money because I’d be running for my life , my father’s major status can’t save me before these women .

After doomscrolling on their i********:, I muster the courage to text her .

I waited by my phone all weekend , nothing .

Every beep had me running to my phone , I drove passed that house every day hoping to catch her beating up someone new .

Sunday evening, my phone beeps ,I rush to my phone and it’s her .

I feel my eyes are playing pranks on me , “woooohhhuuuuuuu” I shout waking up all our neighbors.

I can’t wait to tell Trevor , then it dawns on me .

What’s going to happen to Felicity ? If I stop what I have with her , she’d feel bad .

So I make a selfless decision. I’ll keep them both .
