CHAPTER 56
Aria was walking out of her class when she saw Austen standing feebly halfway to the cafetaria. Even though Austen had told her countless of times to avoid him, she found herself running towards him.
She stopped and touched his shoulder.
“Austen, you look so tensed. What’s happening?”Aria asked, immediately removing her hand from his shoulder when he turned around to face her.
She was surprised he wasn’t looking at her with the usual glare, instead, his gaze was so soft and he looks so vulnerable.
“Sorry, uhm- I’ll go now.”Aria stammered, starting to turn around when he pulled her back and embraced her in a tight hug.
Her eyes widened unbelievably…
ONCE UPON A KINGDOM : CHAPTER 51 – 60
Anita walked out of her forth class which thereafter signals the start of lunch break. She has her backpack across her shoulders as she made her way to the cafetaria.
Her phone beeped and she clicked on the new text.
Charlotte: We are at the cafetaria already.
After reading through the text, she looked forward only to see Austen also walking his way to the cafetaria. Her face glimmered with mischief.
“Great! What an encounter.”she mumbled to herself.
Skipping after him with just a few feets, it was with the needed silence that she crept behind him, stopping and patting him once on the shoulder.
“What the… Anita?”Austen turned around, wanting to snap at whoever that was but struggled to push back the feeling of distaste that wanted to make way unto his face.
“Yeah, it’s me.”she winked, turning around and twirling around her body, before stopping to see Austen giving her the bad type of stare.
“Aren’t you happy we met again?*she pouted, feigning eagerness.
Austen’s jaw ticked with annoyance. He wouldn’t want to hit her and cause trouble for himself, and neither does he want to stay a minute longer in her presence. So, he decided to walk away.
Anita frowned before smirking cunningly.
“You know I still have the tape, right?”she called after him, and Austen instantly stopped his movement.
His shoulders tensed at Anita’s reminder, He should have knew she wouldn’t forget so easily; he should have knew she hasn’t forgotten her motive to blackmail him with the tape.
“I don’t have the tape anymore, but to him, am still going to make him believe it’s still in my possession.”Anita thought inwardly to herself.
Then, her face brightened up when Austen started approaching her. Stopping before her with an irritated huff.
“Tell me, what do you freaking want from me?”he asked her.
“It’s a small task, Austen. Just tell your homewrecker of a sister to leave my Luciano alone.”she responded, shrugging a shoulder.
“Watch your mouth,”Austen pointed his index finger warning at her.
“I know the truth hurts but whatever. Are you willing to do what I just said or you’d rather continue defending your sister instead?”She purred impatiently.
“Fine, but you’re deleting that fking tape as soon as that’s done.”he replied.
“Of course, that’s sure.”she mushed, her chippy tone so loud and annoying while clapping her palms together excitedly.
Afterwards, she throwed him a kss to the air before walking past him and to the cafetaria.
