Married To The Arrogant Star

Episode 4

By: peachlips

Liana's POV:

I try pushing him away but can't as he keeps weighing me down and kissing me.

Next, he slides his hands under my skirt and my fear skyrockets. Jackson can't do this to me, I'm not ready.

Without looking I reach for the glass of wine on the table and luckily I grab it.

I pour it over his face and he flinches in shock. That gives me just enough time to push him away and spring to my feet.

"Liana..."

"What the hell's wrong with you Jackson?" I yell angrily freeing my hand from his hold.

I grab my bag from the chair and run out of the house immediately.

"Liana wait!" I hear him call after me but I don't stop, I sprint to the gate.

I open it myself rush out and thank goodness I see a cab, I jump to the road and board it immediately.

I get home feeling angry, shaken, and disturbed. I'm paranoid. Why the hell does Jackson act the way he does? Would he have seriously forced himself on me? How could he even think that's okay?

I feel restless and can't even think about eating, I thought he was a nice person, I trusted him, How could he think of forcing himself on me?

If I hadn't stopped him, would he have really...?

I did not even take off my uniform, I just lie quietly on the bed.

What he did is really shocking, I swear I never expected this from him.

My phone rings and I see it's him calling.

I end the call and put the phone on silent keeping it far away, I can't even think about talking to him right now, What else does he have to say?

I shake my head and stare at the ceiling, this is so disappointing, Could I be making a mistake falling for someone like him?

I brood over the whole thing and didn't realize when I fall asleep.

Hours later, I wake up feeling heavy and groggy. How could I not? I've been thinking even in my dreams.

I pick up my phone and see 11 missed calls and 2 messages, What the heck?

Seven calls are from Jackson and four are from Nicole, Both messages are from Jackson.

The first reads: 📱 Please Liana, I'm sorry. 📱

The second: 📱 Just pick up the call, Give me a chance to explain please. 📱

I roll my eyes and drop the phone back on the bed, I'm still in shock. What could he possibly want to explain?

I'm about to pick up the phone again when there's a knock at the door. Sluggishly, I go to check it.

It's Nicole, Not really surprising she always shows up when I least expect it.

"Geez! What the hell's wrong with you, Liana? Why weren't you picking your calls? I've called like a hundred times!" she says as soon as she sees me not giving me a chance to breathe.

I look her over and confirm she's looking amazing. Wow A black skirt, pink top and black boots.

"It's just four missed calls Nicole, Stop being dramatic," I roll my eyes and make way for her to enter.

"Hold on," she scoffs, "Why are you still in uniform?" she asks noticing my school attire.

Gosh! I hadn't even realized.

"What have you been doing Liana?" she asks, almost yelling.

"I was exhausted... and I slept okay?" I reply and sit on the bed, She scoffs.

"Really? Do you realize what time it is? Liana! You're going to make me late for Ethan's concert!"

Oh! Ethan's concert! I almost forgot.

No wonder she looks so good.

"Come on, Liana you're such a killjoy I told you countless times to get ready so we can leave early, How could you forget?" she says bitterly.

I sigh and stand, "I'm sorry okay? I'll be done in a second," I say tiredly and walk into the bathroom,

I shower and come out with a towel, Surprisingly Nicole has already selected my clothes and shoes, Seriously?

"Hurry up Liana, Go on and dress!" she says hastily handing me the outfit.

It's a short red gown and she wants me to wear it with white sneakers already on the floor.

I shake my head and go to the wardrobe to get my underwear, After changing I put on the gown and look in the mirror.

Geez! It's so tight and shows off my curves perfectly.

"Wow! You're definitely going to draw attention, Liana," Nicole says from behind smiling.

"I don't like it Nic. It's too..."

"It's perfect," she cuts me off brushing my hair so it falls freely over my shoulders.

I take a red lip gloss and apply it the only makeup I use.

"Come on, come on, come on, Liana Let's go!" she says handing me the sneakers.

"Chill okay? The concert isn't running away," I grumble.

"Yeah but time is," she reminds me.

I put the sneakers back and grab blue netted sandals instead. I also pick up a blue emoji bag.

When I turn to look at Nicole she's staring and smiling at me.

"What's wrong?" I ask with a scoff.

"You're just beautiful Liana," she says and I blush but try to hide it with an eye roll.

"So... can we get going?" I ask and she laughs.

We leave the room together.

TBC.
