Unexpected Us.

Chapter Eleven.

Olivia's P. O. V

After the incident with Nikolai, I had loads of explanations to do with James.

He wouldn't stop asking me who I was with that night since obviously he knew I wasn't with any of my friends.

I pondered over the issue before finally deciding to come clean with James, so I agreed we have the conversation over coffee, us two. Early tea dates was something special I had always shared with James.

He didn't waste a lot of time in proceeding into the main topic.

"Liv, I know you were with a guy that night and don't think of lying to me".

Hugh James I groaned. "I hadn't even had a sip of my coffee yet. I was with a guy then I wasn't planning on telling lies. Stop being too forward.

"Forward"? He grumbled,"You can't blame me girls love to hide things like that.

"Well, I was thinking about lying, but then I trust you". I admitted, blowing my coffee.

"I'm truly honored." He smirked while I laughed.

"So there's this guy at school, I began, he's Nikolai Volkov and have had a crush on him since forever".

Nikolai Volkov. He repeats mouth agape.

What's that for? I asked.

He's Russian. He stated as a matter of facts.

Exactly, I confirm and his Russian accent is so dope. I say blushing.

Sis, His names gives Mafia vibes. James suddenly said.

Mafia, I repeated laughing out loud, That only exists in novel.

It's real... People are in such organizations, I don't have a good feeling about him.

He's genuine, and he won't hurt me, He's my crush. I Convinced.

If you say so, He agrees but "A crush? Wow". He clapped.

"But then he's a Playboy, so I was like I had no chance with him. You need to see the kind of girls he goes out with".

"Olivia, and have you seen yourself? You're the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen". James praised.

"You are only saying this because I'm your sister". I continued taking a proper sip of my coffee.

"No, I'm not, but I know you don't believe me. If your so called crush calls you the most beautiful girl on planet Earth, I know you'll certainly believe".

"James, stop teasing me". I complained all flustered up.

"Alright".He raised his arm in surrender "Continue with your story".

"So, an incident happened in school. I splashed coffee on Nikolai

He didn't even let me finish before interrupting. "Type s**t? So what happened?".

"I was getting to that before you interrupted." I whined.

He gestured with his hands for me to continue.

His eyes were red with anger, so I expected him to lash out at me, but he was calm, Then I was frozen, Lost in his eyes, James wanted to interrupt again, but I held up my hand to stop him. "If he interrupted this time, I was definitely not going to continue".

Then he called me "Love".

Fuck, that was so hot. Totally looked like it came out from a romantic Bollywood scene".

I know right? "I chuckled.

"So, what next?"

Then we spoke to each other, he told me how beautiful I was, and I felt my heart racing.Then the next week this guy ignored me like I didn't exist". Like none of his words mattered.

"Such an i***t. James yelled, how dare he behave that way with my sister". James was already angry.

"Calm, Big bro so. I was heartbroken I thought it was all a lie that the moment. Didn't matter at all to him, so the club incident to get my mind of him, I went clubbing with my girls.

"Now that's getting interesting". James exhaled dramatically.

"A guy approached me so we were dancing together, and out of nowhere fists began flying in the air. Nikolia he began to beat the stranger blue-black.

Shit. I feel that strangers pain.

"He got up and ran away. Then Nikolai he faced me fully then ranted about why I should be dancing with another man then I shouted back at him too. Then my friends were worried about my safety, then I told them to leave. I could handle it.

You were all alone with him! James exclaimed.

I ignored him, Then, He felt sorry for shouting at me then I felt too tired to respond then he took me into his car, then to his car we drove to his house.

What happened hope you two didn't..... James didn't finish his statement but I understood.

No. I was drunk and trust me he didn't try to take advantage of me so fast forward to this morning I got your call, He asked me to have my bath then guess what.

"What?" James screamed and also he looked way too excited.

"He made chicken soup for me for hangovers and gave me pain reliefs. When I ended James had a pleased look on his face.

He seems caring, based on the things I've heard. but still he's Russian.

You are no chance a racist bro? I asked with a raised bro.

No, I thought you'll date a cute brithish boy.

I thought so to but ever since I met Nikolia Volkov, it's only him I want to be with. I explained.

I see you're love sick, All am saying is be careful. James insist.

You're still not sure of him. I say.

Yep I'm not except I meet him in person.

He's so sweet, When you meet him, Your perspective will change. I try to convince James.

He nods, then protect your heart from him if he gives you breakfast don't go and be crying this one he ignored you for a week and you are already a club goer".

"I understand you. I will". I said even though some part of my heart were already his.

At school I was having lunch with my friends at the cafeteria.

Isla suddenly slammed her hands on the table, making me gasp in fright.

"The f*ck, Isla ? You scared me". I placed my hands on my chest in fright.

"You've been staring into space with that dreamy look on your face." Bella pointed out.

"Really?" I asked patting, my cheeks to control my blush.

Really, what. Isla mimicked looking at me suspiciously.

"I ignored and kept on picking on my meal".

You know you've still haven't told us what happened between you and Nikolia. Isla enquired.

I have a feeling that's why she's all flustered up. Bella added nodding as Isla agreed.

"Nothing happened I lied, casting a gaze on my meal.

"Keep lying we are not fools, you know". Isla replied, back arms crossed over her chest.

I repeated the same thing with James careful to leave out some details.

Wow that's so hot. Making you soup. Isla exclaimed.

He cares for you. Bella admitted quietly.

The rest of the meal went by with their constant teasing here and there until something happened.

Three boys walked into the cafeteria. Kaleb first, Conrad Second then lastly Nikolai.

Kaleb and Conrad flirting at the girls who seemed love struck by their lovely, dovey actions towards them, but then Nikolai's eyes were searching, as if he were looking at someone.

Before they could land on me, I lowered my face into my food. I didn't even know why I did that I always wanted attention from him but now am I dodging it.

Am I becoming Shy?

Because I never was "Shy".

I could feel his weight of his eyes from behind even though I hadn't turn around to face him yet. I wondered how he had recognized me amidst the crowd of study. Nevertheless my head rained lowered into my food.

"Bella, sitting right next to me tapped me by the shoulder first. Girl why are you acting weird? You are going to get sauce all over your face if you lower your head that way.

"Can't you see her Bad-boy his here? Isla told Bella, and he's probably eye-searching her.

"Ooh I see, Bella", said with a mischievous smile while continuing to eat.

Inside my pocket, My phone suddenly buzzed, probably with a notification from Netflix or something annoying. I brought it out to check, and my eyes went over to read and read and re_read, the same text.

Unknown Number.

Love, are you ignoring me.

My brows shot up and I sat properly this time then I typed the first thing on my mind.

Nikolia:

I waited for a reply.

Its me. The reply said then back to my earlier question.

I wasn't ignoring you. I quickly typed back. I wanted to ask how he got my number but knowing Nikolia he had his ways.

Then look at me. His next text read.

"No". I typed back.

My Cheeks heating up.

I didn't even notice my friends eyes were on me.

Who's even texting you" Isla asked first.

"How do you even know I was typing"? I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Your hand movement, duh". She replied shrugging her shoulders.

"This Isla she observed too much of things with that her Sharp eyes. Her God made career is supposed to be a psychologist".

Then I'm coming towards you.

No don't I quickly texted back.

Then look at me.

Fine. I replied giving in, Then in 3, 2, 1, I turned my head and gave him a small smile.

He looked so handsome in his black jeans, white tee and black leather jacket. He held my gaze a little longer before waving back at me.

I blushed as I immediately turned my head but this small gesture wasn't unnoticed by the Hawks eyes in the cafeteria. The boys whistled while the girls passed envious gazes. Anthony's friends patted his shoulders like he had done something they were proud of.

That was Soo hot. Isla gushed while Bella smiled sincerely with warmth and love.

You look so beautiful that I want to blind the eyes of the guys that get to see you.

I blushed No you are not doing that. I typed back.

As your lordship pleases. My queen.

My Queen. I thought smiling to myself. The guy sure has a way with words.

I was about to reply to him when Isla tapped me hurriedly and urgently.

What? I asked annoyed at her interruption.

And what I saw made my heart break. Anthony with another girl and it wasn't the most shocking part her lips were pressed against his.

He wasn't kissing back but he didn't push her away either.

My friends looked at me with pathetic looks. Sympathy on their faces.

My heart tightened in pain.

"I felt hurt, so hurt. Why does he have to always hurt me this way?".

I gathered my things and flee our of the cafeteria.My heart couldn't take it anymore. I heard the distant voices of Isla calling after me and Bella telling her to let me be, but it was like just background noise to me.

I stopped running when I had no energy left. I didn't even know I was on the rooftop. I felt so hurt and, I felt very foolish.

How could I have Trusted him he's only a Playboy and Playboy's don't stick to one girl. He isn't even my boyfriend yet I'm already going through this amount of pain in my heart what happens if we start dating for real.

From now henceforth, I have to keep my distance away from Nikolia Volkov because he's only a player that will keep breaking every girl's heart.
