Hating Miss Popular by Kenzhie A. (free ebooks romance novels .TXT) 📕

“Nothing.” I replied instantly, feeling my cheeks burning not from fever but from the embarrassment. I really hate that I'm feeling embarrassed around Cole nowadays.

“Hmmm... Good. Your fever had completely gone down.” He said approvingly while touching my forehead to check my temperature.

“Did you---”

“Nope. Wasn't me. It was Nora.” He said defensively, guessing my thoughts.” I sighed a relief. I would really beat him up if he was the one who wiped my whole body with that wet cloth. Suddenly, my cheeks turned red thinking and imagining about Cole running his hand on my entire body and how would it feel... “Hey, your cheeks are burning...” Cole exclaimed after touching my flushed cheeks. “Damn! Maybe your fever went back---”

“I'm fine. I just need to rest.” I muttered almost a whisper. I feel really ashamed with myself for thinking about those... Those... Shit! Stop thinking about it, Sydney! I castigated myself and went to lie down on my bed again.

“Anyway... Do you always have a nightmare?” He asked all of a sudden after a moment of silence.

“What do you mean?” I asked, alarmed.

“Well, while you were having a high fever and unconscious earlier, you were mumbling in your sleep like you were very scared about something or someone then you kept on screaming, and just now... You were also having a nightmare, right?”

“It's nothing. Aren't you going home?” I said, trying to change the topic. Cole didn't seem convinced, but let it off.

“Nope. I'm gonna sleep here.” He said with a smug and jumped on my bed beside me.

“Hey. Get off...” I sat up and pushed him weakly, but he just ignored me and laid his one arm over my neck, pushing me back on a lying position on my bed. I tried to wriggle free, but I'm too weak to struggle when he wrapped his arm around my waist and snuggled his face in the hollow of my neck, possessively. Oddly, it feels comforting to be in his arms so I just lay still in his embrace. “Won't your sister look for you?” I asked after a moment of silence.

“Hmmm...” He murmured, and nuzzled more closer to me.

“Hey.” I raised my free hand and tugged his shirt a bit too much which showed his flat and muscular stomach.

“Hmmm... I can't... You're not fully recovered yet, babe...” He mumbled hoarsely.

“What?!” I hit the back of his head in annoyance. He chuckled and felt his lips brushed against my collarbone. I froze when his lips moved up to my neck, then on my jaw making light trail kisses.

“Don't worry about my sister... She's a big girl now and is probably in her room studying or out with her boyfriend.” He whispered huskily and nipped my earlobe. I felt like I'm going to have a fever again as every skin his warm mouth touches, burns. “Your mom also called up and told me to take care of you until she comes home from her little trip.” I can't help myself when a moan escape from my mouth when he bit my lower lip then he licked my upper lip, toying with it. I shuddered as I felt his hands roamed around my body, teasing every part he touches.

“W-wait... W-hat are---” I tried to stop him and myself from grabbing his neck when he suddenly claimed my mouth passionately, cutting me off. I can't control myself anymore. I succumbed to my lust and raised my hand to grab his neck and the other raked through his soft hair, pulling him closer to me and kissed him back. He groaned and rolled over on top of me and deepened the kiss. I parted my lips giving him more access to my mouth when I felt his tongue pressing between my lips. I hungrily ran my hands under his shirt, feeling his abs and his chest with my trembling fingers. I felt his chest twitched at my every touch and it made me want to touch him more. I wanted to protest when he removed his mouth from mine, but moaned in pleasure when I felt his lips on my neck. His rough hands started caressing my thigh and then I felt the hem of my silk lingerie moved up my hips, waist, and halted on my neck. I opened my eyes when I heard Cole's breathing fastens and saw his eyes darken as he take in my almost naked body with only my skimpy black lacy underwear left. My face reddened and covered my exposed breast, but Cole pulled my hands away.

“I wanna see you baby... You're so beautiful...” He said in a hoarse voice and lowered his head to adore the peak of my breast with his mouth while he fondles my other breast with his rough, big hand. I moaned loudly and arched my body to feel him more, but he moved away from me all of a sudden and lowered the hem of my nightdress back on my thigh again. “Oh Sydney! I want you so badly right now, but we have to stop now. You've just had a fever and not fully recovered yet. You need to rest...” He croaked and sighed when he saw my flustered face. “Oh baby...” He mumbled and ran his fingers through his messy but sexy hair. I didn't open my mouth to curse him for kissing me and touching me. My mouth just remained shut while staring at him with awe. I should be mad at him, but he just looks so damn hot and sexy looking frustrated at himself about something. How can I when I liked it? I even bit my lower lip and squeezed my fingers closed to control myself from grabbing him again to kiss him and beg him to take me. “I think I should go now before I lost my control.” He said and kissed the tip of my nose. “Rest well and see you tomorrow.” I just stared at him while he gets off the bed and went out of the room. I stared at the closed door and sighed. How can I sleep now when I feel restless and sexually frustrated? Ugh! I'm such a slut! I slapped my face and sat up again on my bed and leaned my head on the tall headboard of my big bed. I glanced at my digital clock on my side table. It's just quarter to four in the afternoon. I got off the bed and washed up a bit and got dressed quickly. I have to go out and cool off my burning desire. I need to do something...

Kenzhie A..

I ended up in front of one of the luxurious stores on Madison Avenue while I was walking endlessly with no destination in particular. I decided to go inside to look for something good to buy. It would usually make me feel better when I go shopping. It would normally work. I looked around as soon as I've entered but no one assisted me. I called the store clerk I saw, but she shot me a disapproving look as she gazed down at me. I got irritated by her odd reaction and also wondered because every time I would enter any high end stores, there would always be someone running to assist me, even the manager since I was not just a VIP customer but a VVIP. It got on my nerves that the stupid woman wasn’t moving her big ass to assist me. Infuriated, I walked or rather, I marched toward her, but stopped in my tracks and winced when I saw myself in the mirror. The reflection I was seeing was nowhere near of how I normally looked; The classy and sophisticated chic. It was pretty much the opposite. I was wearing a pair of customized tattered fitted jeans, a simple white oversized shirt, and black converse canvas shoes, which I’d only wear during my charity events—Truth to be told, it wasn’t that bad, but what ruined it all was my shoulder length hair that was tied in a messy ponytail and my face was bared from any cosmetics and looking so damn pale because of my very recent fever, so I looked like a lost teenage girl who went inside a very luxurious shop without knowing it. No wonder they were ignoring me. Honestly, it was my first time to ever go out looking so out of fashion and not even presentable enough to get any attention from the store clerks. This is all Cole's fault and that stupid psycho who keeps creeping me out with those emails, I thought inwardly. I needed a distraction and now I'd found one. I raised my chin up and glided toward the woman who already turned her back on me. Now, she's gonna have it. No one ignores Sydney Wood! No one!

“Hey!” I hissed and grabbed her shoulder harshly. She turned around, surprised to see me. “When I call your attention, you should rush to serve me, hear me?” I gave her my most intimidating look. She looked baffled at first, but gave me a fake smile afterward.

“I'm sorry, ma'am,” she replied innocently. “I didn't see you.  What can I help you with?” She went on with her innocent act, denying the fact that she ignored me on purpose and she didn’t even look the least apologetic, which got me even more irritated. What a bitch, huh...Let's see how bitchy can you be and how far can you last. I gave her my sweetest, yet wicked smile.

“Follow me and hold everything I choose. Be attentive,” I ordered and walked toward the expensive bags. The woman eyed me warily, but still followed me. I had picked a lot of stuffs already when my phone rang. I answered it without looking who the caller was since my mind was focused only on my target. “Hello?”

“Where the hell are you? I called you at your place and your helper said you went out.” My heart skipped a bit as I recognized Cole's voice. He sounded angry, though. I calmed myself first before I spoke.

“Where I am right now doesn't concern you. Stop bothering me,” I replied bluntly. I went out to cool off, but the insensible jerk kept on bugging me.

“Sydney, I told you to rest. Why did you go out?!” My temper flared, hearing his angry voice and his bossiness.

“Fuck off!” I shouted angrily and dropped the call. I was so frigging pissed and got pissed even more when I caught the store clerk glaring at me in a displeasing manner. I grabbed the most expensive bag and throw it in her face, but
