seven

This literally cannot get any worse.


It's day two of being Luis Pierce's girlfriend.


I got home at 11 pm last night after dinner, which was amazing. We had Soba which i later found out was one of Luis' favourites.


We mainly spoke about career choices and college. His mom was really pleased that i wanted to be a paediatric nurse since that's what she was before she had kids.


Layton is studying to be a lawyer in university and she'll probably work for Pierce&Co, which is their father's firm. It's extremely famous, which explains why they're, like, dumb rich.


Anyway, Luis dropped me home late last night, and now it's 6 am the next morning. Safe to say i'm tired.


I have a shower, washing my hair before putting on the outfit i picked out earlier.



[Outfit inspo]


I leave my hair down since it's still damp and i need to diffuse it before i leave. I take so much pride in my curls.


"Devyn!" Niko calls up the stairs.


"Yeah?" i yell back, putting my art folder in my book bag.


"Luis is here!"


Already? He said he'd be here at 7!


"Just a minute!" i call.


Looks like i'm going to school with wet hair. I quickly part it in the middle and pull it into a low ponytail.


I sling my backpack over my shoulders as i walk down the stairs moderately fast. I don't trust my brother to be normal around him.


"Hey Devy." Luis hums, smiling up at me from the sofa.


"Hello Luis." i turn to my brother and narrow my eyes. "Morning Nik."


"Morning Dev." he grins back at me and i can already tell he's done something he knows i'll hate.


Luis stands up and walks towards the door. I turn to my brother and scowl.


"I'm gonna kill you." i mouth as i walk backwards.


"Have a good day at school baby sis!" he smiles at me brightly.


"Bye Nikolas." i groan, turning and closing the door behind me.


"Your brother's cool." Luis smiles at me as i get in the car after him. I look over and give him a fake smile.


"Sure he is." i deadpan.


"Why didn't you tell me about the time you-"


"I don't wanna hear it Luis. Not before my morning coffee." i put a hand up, pulling my hood over my head with the other.


Luis laughs as he pulls onto the main road. He knows where my favourite coffee shop is since i asked him to take me there yesterday.


He orders two iced coffees from the drive through and he parks up in the car park.


"So." he sighs.


"So." i glance at him.


"Are we hanging out with your friends again?"


"Please for the love of god, no." i groan.


Luis laughs, before spilling a bit of his coffee on his lap and swearing.


"They aren't that bad." he looks up at me, dabbing his shorts with a napkin.


I glare at him and he laughs again.


"So my friends today?"


"Please."


We sit in comfortable silence for a while, the only sounds being the soft music playing in the background along with the cars driving past on the main street.


"You know, you're gonna have to tell everyone it's your fault, when we break up. I like your family and i don't want them chasing me with pitchforks." Luis turns to face me.


My heart drops a little. Oh yeah, i forgot this is gonna have to end at some point. I haven't really thought about that yet.


"It'll have to be a mutual agreement. I don't want your family to hate me either." i take a sip of my coffee.


"Fine. I guess that can work." he puts his cup down in the holder and starts up the car.


Our journey to school is pretty quiet too. Not in an uncomfortable way, we were just enjoying the morning.


We pull into the school car park about ten minutes later; even though it's early, it's already quite packed.


Luis walks me to my locker today. We don't have any lessons together which is surprising, so we have to make the most of between lessons.


"See you at break?" he says, leaning on the locker beside me.


I place my hand on his cheek, tip toeing and planting a quick kiss on the other one.


"Yeah." i go back to putting books in my book back.


He freezes briefly, before turning and walking to his lesson on the opposite side of school.


***
It's break now, finally. I hate when i have math and physics in the first two periods. It ruins my whole day to be honest.


I scan the crowd briefly, my eyes landing on Luis a couple feet away. He's with his friends, Carter and Josiah.


Carter is pretty similar to Luis, but a lot worse. Luis is with a different girl everyday, yet Carter is with a different girl every couple hours, and he's extremely ruthless. He's hot though, so he seems to get away with it.


Josiah is cool. I've had a couple lessons with him over the years and he's pretty humble. He's more the dad of the group, nothing like his friends.


As if he feels eyes on him, Luis turns around, his eyes jumping the crowd for a moment before locking on mine.


He grins at me, turning back briefly to presumably say something to his friends before turning back and walking towards me.


He holds out his arms as soon as he's in reach. I pout, stepping into them and wrapping my arms around his waist.


"Hey babe." he says into my hair.


I know he's just doing it for show, but this man can be really cute when he wants to be.


"I told them we'd be with them at lunch." he says, sliding his hands down my arms and holding my hands.


My heart beats a little faster. I knew what i was getting into with the school's number one womaniser, but shit, he really knows how to seduce a girl.


"O-okay." i look at him, realising i was taking too long to respond.


He drops one hand, keeping the other and leading me into the library behind us.


"Why are you taking me in here?" i whisper.


"So we can make out." he replies.


"Luis!" i hiss.


"I'm kidding. I know how much you like it in here." he chuckles, sitting down on a seat by the window.


I sit on the seat opposite him, taking out a book i've been reading. I place my bag on the floor under the table and open it on my bookmark.


Luis takes out his sketchbook flicking through to a new page.


"Hey." i say, closing my book.


He stops, looking up at me through his hair.


"Flip back to the page before."


He doesn't question it, simply turning back to the page prior, handing me the book.



"This is beautiful." i run my fingers over the lines.


"You can have it." he shrugs.


"Really?" i look up at him.


"Of course."


I smile at him, neatly ripping out the page.


"I'll stick it in my locker with the other one." i mumble, slipping the page in one of my books so it doesn't get creased.


"You stuck the other one in your locker?" Luis frowns a little.


"Yeah." it's my turn to shrug.


His face softens as he sits back, the corners of his mouth twitch upwards.


"Cool."


I open my book again, taking out the bookmark and beginning to read. What feels like five minutes later, the bell goes for third period. I groan, pushing my book back into my bag and standing up.


We walk out into the hallway. I have Spanish, and i'm pretty sure Luis has Phys Ed. Yes, i was made to take spanish and yes, i'm fluent in spanish. I'm not complaining though.


Luis takes my chin between his fingers and tilts my head up.


I look up at him and something flickers in his eyes.


"See you after class beautiful." he smiles, simply dropping my chin and walking away.


I turn myself, walking the direction of my next lesson.


The next two lessons go pretty quickly to be honest, and soon enough it's lunch time.


I walk to the lunch hall, where Luis is already waiting outside.


"Hey love." he grins at me lazily.


"Hey."


He slings an arm over my shoulder, opening the door to the cafeteria and leading me inside.


Everyone in the room turns to look at us.


I can't even use my hair to hide my pink cheeks since it's tied back. I'll never get used to this.


My eyes wander to the table where my friends sit, and sure enough they're looking too. I haven't spoken to them since yesterday. I'm still pretty annoyed.


Luis shakes hands and daps up a few people on the way. How is this normal to him?


After about twenty interactions, we finally reach the table him and his friends usually sit at.


They look up from whatever they were looking at on Carter's phone as we sit down opposite them.


"If it's not the infamous Devyn." Carter eyes me slightly and i shift in my seat.


"Hello Devyn." Josiah smiles at me softly.


"Hi Josiah." i smile back.


"So i don't get a hello?" Carter smirks slightly, leaning forward on the table, resting his chin on his fist.


"You didn't greet me properly." i frown.


"Fiesty. I like that." he raises his brows quickly.


"Chill, bro."


I look at Luis, whose eyebrows are furrowed. There's annoyance written all over his face.


Carter raises his hands in defence.


"So, how did you tame the beast that is Luis Pierce, Devyn?" Carter questions.


"He's always had a thing for me." i joke, glancing at him.


Luis rolls his eyes, but i can tell he's trying not to smile.


"Yeah, he also had a thing for fucking a different girl every night until about a week ago." Carter smiles.


My own smile drops, as well as my heart.


I feel Luis tense beside me.


"Come on bro." Josiah frowns.


"My bad." Carter raises his brows. "Just saying."


"I'm gonna... water." i stand up, slinging my bag on my back.


"Devyn..." Luis starts, but i don't turn around.


I make my way out of the cafeteria, turning right and going down the hall to the bathroom.


I put my bag on the counter and look in the mirror. I knew about his reputation before this, but i didn't really think about it.


Do i look like an idiot to the rest of the school too?


The bell goes for the end of lunch and i'm more than relieved. I have a free period, which means library time.


I pull my book bag on to my back and leave the bathroom.


The library is empty as it usually is. I'm so glad. I really just wanna read my book in peace right now.


Just as i open my book, my phone pings. I groan, fishing it out of my pocket.


Meet me in the main stairwell. - L


I blink at the message.


Huffing dramatically, i shove my book back in my bag. Can i not get a moment to rest in this school?


I'm at the stairwell within a couple minutes.


I walk up to the second level, only to see Luis sat on the stairs, his head in his hands. I drop my bag at my feet and he looks up.


"Hey." he says softly.


"Hey." i repeat, sitting on the stairs beside him.


"Listen, i'm sorry about what Carter said-"


"It's fine." i cut him off.


"No. I haven't had sex with any girls since we started dating, i promise."


"It's fine Luis." i look at him. "We aren't really dating anyway. You can do what you want."


His eyes flicker between mine. I look back at him, my eyes unintentionally dropping down to his lips.


Luis leans forward, our faces now inches apart. My heart is racing. He snakes a hand around the back of my neck as his nose brushes against mine, his breath fanning against my lips.


I want to move. I wanna move so badly. But my body won't let me.


He finally leans forward, pressing his lips against mine. My breath hitches and my body tenses up. My heart feels like it's gonna burst and my stomach is doing flips.


I hold Luis' bicep as his lips move against mine gently. It's only when i feel the warmth of his tongue on mine do i snap back to reality. I pull back, slightly dazzled. My mind is so fuzzy.


"What the fuck!" i push myself to standing.


"What?" he raises his arms in defence.


"Rule number one Luis! If you ever kiss me like that again-"


"Shut up, you liked it." he says, a smug smile on his lips. "You opened your mouth for tongue."


"I did not!"


"Then why'd you lick mine when i stuck it in your mouth?"


I cross my arms. "Just don't kiss me, alright?"


"If you say so." he lies back on the stairs.


I sit back down, lying beside him.


"We should do that more often." he says, filling the silence.


"No we shouldn't."


"Okay."
