Hi,fellow readers! I'd like to recommend y'all watching the Haunting of Bly Manor because there's a canon WLW ship ; Dani and Jamie.I might consider writing a fan fiction about them or Camren.
Do tell if you would be interested in another fan fiction story and suggest the ship :)
As always,happy reading!
Sterling's POV
The kiss was still surreal to me and her lips still lingers against mine,like stained lipstick.It is still itched in my mind for this past week,and the fact that she kissed me.
It was brave of her,brave of her to kiss me after 3 years.Except that she's still with Luke.
The only time when she couldn't help herself.
Like I mentioned,I can't and I won't let her cheat on Luke with me.It'll break Luke's heart again and I
don't want that,neither do April.She just needs to understand that it's either Luke or me.
I walked down the hallways,preoccupied in my headspace.I haven't told Blair yet,if she knows -
"Hey Sterling." I turned and it's Rachel.I mustered a smile and she walks beside me.
"I haven't heard from you since the fundraiser.Are you alright?" Rachel starts and I nodded.
"Yeah,it's just that I've been pretty busy lately.Not that I was avoiding you or anything.." I trailed but truthfully,I wasn't.I wasn't busy and I was avoiding Rachel.
"I see.Do you want to have lunch together? We have an hour before your next class." She suggests and I wouldn't mind at all.
We took her car and she drove us to an Italian restaurant.I like Italian food,the pizza and spaghetti.
Just mouth-watering food.
"We're here for a reservation under my name,Rachel Green." Rachel says as a waitress approached us.
"Right this way,Miss Green." The waitress lead us to a very secretive room separated from the other customers.This is something.
Rachel pulls out the seat for me and tucked me in.I was pretty flustered by the lighting,the soft music and Rachel of course.
"Are we on a date?" I whispered as the waitress left us.
"Well,you could say that." Rachel smiles and opens up the menu.
I mean,I've been to a few fancy restaurants but this is just something else.I also believed she pulled a couple of strings to get us this room.
"I...don't know what to say." I laugh nervously and open up the menu as well.
"You'll get used to it but for now,choose what'd you like to eat."
I looked over at Rachel and I couldn't help but smile.
"This is- I mean the spaghetti is well done and the sauce is chef's kiss and how it's cooked really fast." I blabbered and Rachel laughs.
"Yeah,they have a exquisite taste and a particularly fast service which I applaud for." Rachel sips on her orange juice and looks at me.
Those piercing green eyes always gets me.It's scary but like sexy,you know.
"I need to tell you something,Sterling." Rachel places her glass down and takes my hand from across the table.
"I like.." She trailed and I panicked.I mean Rachel is really pretty and hot and I do feel something for her but isn't it too soon and too fast...
My phone drops and Rachel lets go of my hand.I chuckled nervously and picks it up,placing it on the table.
I look back at Rachel,who was sips down the whole orange juice and smiles nervously.
"I-well never mind that.Shall we go?" She stood up and I nodded,following her out.
Thank god.Okay,I seriously need to talk to Blair.
The whole drive was awkward and I just looked out the window.As we arrived at the campus carpark,I stepped out and Rachel stood there awkwardly.
"Okay..I need to be honest and I just-" Rachel lets out and she was cut off by Brian.
"Sterling! Hey,how are you doing?" Brian jogs up to me and Rachel pursed her lips,knowing that she couldn't say whatever she wanted now.
"Well,I'll see you later,Sterl." Rachel walks off and I felt bad.Guilt to the stomach too.I opened my mouth but I don't know what would make things better.The words that would make her come back.
"What's up with her?" Brian asks and I chuckled.
"Nothing.So where you have been?" Brian and I walk to our class together as we catched up.
I drove back home and parked the car right outside.I was really hoping that Blair would be home and we could talk about everything that happened.
"Mom,I'm home." I called out and there was no response.I walked up to Blair's room and found her typing away in her phone.
"Where's Mom?" I asked and Blair looks up.
"Grocery store." I laid down next to Blair and hovers over who's she texting.
"Hey,stop hovering!" Blair pushes me playfully,and I laughed.
"Hey Blair,I need to talk to you." Blair places her phone down and readjusted herself that now she was leaning against the bed frame.
"What's up?" She looks over me and I played around with the blanket.I'm nervous actually.
"April kissed me." I let out and she covered her mouth.
"No way,she's with Luke." Blair mentioned the oblivion and I nodded.
"I know but she did,she couldn't help herself.I really want to...you know but I can't do that to Luke."
"So what are you gonna do?" She asks and I sighed.
"I can't do anything actually.It's up to her and the worst part is I know she wants to."
We both didn't say anything for a moment before Blair brings up another topic.
"Oh,how about the girl with green eyes? She's quite nice,she was touching a lot back at the fundraiser." Blair nudged me playfully and I groaned.
"She actually likes me,I think.We had lunch today and she wanted to confess but I ruined the moment.
She even got us a private room,away from the rest."
"I mean she is Rachel Green.I did a research and she's like rich like Miles rich." Blair said and I wasn't surprised.
"Well,I don't know what to do,Blair." I sighed and lean against Blair's shoulder.
"Do you...urm like her?" Blair trailed,I know she's still not comfortable with or know what to say when it comes to this type of things.
"I mean she's really hot and those piercing green eyes and the way she laughs and her hand stroking against mine..." I went on and I realised that I might actually like her.
"I-" I stood up,and rushed to my room.I undressed myself and put on a white crop top and black jeans with sneakers.
"Where are you going?" Blair asks,looking at my outfit.
"I'm gonna find Rachel." I sling my bag over my head and Blair smiles.I walked off,feeling nervous about the outcome.
"Yes,go get your girl!" Blair called out.
