19

{Hi guys sorry for the late update, I just got so busy lately but here's an extra long chapter  ;)}

[To those who've read that Paige and Aiden are 17 in the first chapter, Sorry but I was wrong they're actually 19 which makes them not minors, sorry for the mistake anyways enjoy!]

Paige.

"What the hell?" I frowned when I realized what just happened.

The elevator door opened and Blake immediately walked outside.

I was in shock about what just happened. Did he just kiss me?!

I slowly stepped out of the elevator before it could close. I walked towards my room. He must've been drunk. Or he really is drunk, why else would he do that?!

I walked inside our hotel room and looked myself in the mirror. I touched my soft lips.

Blake wasn't my first kiss, I had my own share of puppy love back in my high school days but why do I feel different?

Why is he acting like this? Did he just kiss me to shut me up?! I felt my anger boil up my head. Then my mind did a replay of how he suddenly pushed me to the elevator wall, my anger dissolved immediately  as I remembered the kiss.

"Shit!" I pulled the strands of my hair. Why am I feeling this way?!

I washed myself for bed even if I haven't yet had any dinner. There's no way I'd ever look at Blake the same way.

________________

Third Person's POV.

While Paige locked herself in her hotel room. The other students still enjoyed the breezy beach night out on the shore by the campfire.

"Bring out the drinks!" Ram cheered.

Aicko, Shari, and Eloise left the campfire to go to the pool for night time swimming, they tried to bring Paige but she refused. All that was left in the campfire, were Ram and some Princes.

"Who are you going out with this time Ram?" Jacob the Prince of Denmark asked.

"Let us guess." The Prince of Arabia joined in. "Is she a Princess, Company Heiress or Supermodel?"

"Wrong." Ram laughed. "Someone better."

All of the boys frowned. "Keeping secrets huh?"

"Whatever." Ram drank from a glass of wine, he looked at each of the boys faces and frowned. "Has anyone seen Blake or Kile?"

They all shook their head.

"Why are you always being left by your friends?" The Prince of Romania laughed.

"Girl problems." Ram chuckled at what he said.

Suddenly Blake came trudging through the sand towards them.

"There you are!" Ram called him. "Take a seat." Ram pointed to the space beside him.

He nodded and sat beside Ram. Ram handed him a wine glass and poured wine onto it. Blake frowned when he noticed everyone's eyes on him.

"What?"

"Girl problems?" One of the Princes asked.

Blake gave him a death glare which made him quiet. He then turned to Ram.

"I did it."

Ram raised his eyebrow. "Did what?"

All the Princes moved closer to hear what they were talking about.

"I did what you told me to do." Blake's expression changed when he saw Ram's worried look. "I kissed her."

"What?!" Ram exclaimed. Everyone else hooted.

"Dude!" Ram's jaw dropped. "Why'd you do that?!"

Blake frowned. "Coz you told me that if I kiss her, then that's the only way I'd know how I feel."

"Tsk tsk tsk." One of the Princes said. "Wrong move Bro."

"Why'd you listen to me?!" Ram sounded alarmed. "I was just joking."

Everyone laughed.

Blake's eyes widened. "You idiot." He whispered.

Before Ram could say another word he smacked Ram's head making everyone laugh even more.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ram pleaded while laughing.

Blake ran to him but he hid behind the other boys.

"Ram!" Blake massaged his head out of frustration.

"Have mercy Blake!" Ram pleaded. "I still want to live." He laughed.

When Blake's anger and the boys laughter died down he finally took a seat. Ram sat down aswell but kept a large distance between them.

"But." Blake looked out into the open sea. "Somehow you're right."

Everyone eyed him.

"What do you mean?" Ram asked.

"I know what I feel now."

Everyone smirked.

Ram smiled at him teasingly. "Well then what do you feel?"

"Hey guys sorry we're late!" Dylan and Kile suddenly joined the campfire.

Kile was about to sit down but when he saw Blake his facial expression immediately changed. "I'll go to the room instead." He told Dylan.

Dylan furrowed his eyebrows. "Already? But we just got here."

"No I'm goin-"

"You're not going anywhere." Blake said firmly.

The demand in his voice made everyone shake.

Kile tilted his head towards Blake and crossed his arms.

Blake stood up and walked towards Kile, He stopped once he got infront of him.

"Uh guys?" Ram said in a worried town of what might happen to his friends.

"What?" Kile raised his eyebrow at Blake.

"I'm going to ask this to you one more time." Blake looked Kile straight in the eye. "Do you like her?"

Everyone looked at Kile waiting for his answer, although non of them except Ram knew who was the Her, Blake was pertaining to.

Kile took a deep breathe. "I'm not going to answer your question."

"Damn it Kile!" Blake's voice was deep. "If you like her, you've got to say it, so that I know."

Kile took a deep breathe. "I don't." He looked Blake in the eye. "I don't like her, so don't ask me again."

"Good." Blake turned his back on him. "Coz I do."

"Wake up!" I heard Shari's voice, the next thing I knew, I felt a fluffy pillow against my face.

"Huh?" I opened my eyes irritatedly. "I'm still sleppy!" I complained.

"Well for you information Ms. Sleepy head, It's already 2 in the afternoon!" Shari made her voice loud so that I could hear it."

My eyes widened. "What?!" I stood up and saw the three of them wet because they've been swimming already. I checked my phone and my eyebrows furrowed.

"It's just 8 AM!" I glared at Shari.

She laughed. "How else are we going to make you wake up?"

"We already did some morning jacuzzi without you since we couldn't get you up a while ago." Eloise said as she wiped her body with a towel.

"Fine!" I grumpily stood up and went to the bathroom so that I could brush my teeth and wash my face. I lousily applied some toothpaste on my toothbrush.

"Ooh someone's in a bad mood." Aicko teasingly stood beside me and started washing her face.

"I'm not in a bad mood." I rolled my eyes.

"Fine whatever you say." She eyed me through the mirror. "But don't blame for asking why you left so early last night at the campfire?"

I suddenly stopped brushing my teeth and a flashback of me and Blake in the elevator last night replayed in my head, Damn it! I could feel my cheeks blushing but why?!

I saw Aicko still eyeing me through the mirror. I didn't mind her and just gargled and placed my toothbrush back on the jar.

"I wasn't in the mood." I said before leaving the bathroom.

Aicko followed me and nodded but I'm sure that she's not convinced.

Afterwards, I changed into another one of my baiting suits and wore a sky blue flowy dress over it, it was an off-shoulder making it reveal my shoulders. I wore my sandals and Eloise made me wear one of my summer hats. I wore my shades when we walked out the hotel and to one of the resort restaurants for breakfast.

I kept my eyes wide open incase I see Blake. I avoided him yesterday because I was upset with him, but now I really wanted to avoid him because of what he did.

Did he do that just to shut me up? Did he do that because he was pissed with me? Or did he do that because he has feelings for me? Wait no! What am I thinking?!

We sat down on one of the tables while we ordered our breakfast. The waiter bowed at Eloise upon seeing her and took our orders.

I leaned on my seat and crossed my arms.

"Ok that's enough." Shari said and the three of them faced me. "What's wrong?" Shari looked me in the eye.

"Noth-"

"Don't say nothing." Eloise scolded. "We all know it's something."

I kept silent and looked down. God why does he affect me this way?!

Should I tell them? Maybe they could help me.

I took a deep breathe. "Well what happe-"

"Blake kissed you didn't he?" Aicko said smirking.

My eyes widened and my jaw dropped at what she said.

"Wh-How?" I stuttered.

"O my God!" Eloise covered her mouth in shock.

Shari was eyeing me speechless but excitement was plastered on her face.

"Oh Paige." Aicko giggled. "It's pretty obvious." She laughed.

"I-uh." I still stuttered. How did she know?!

"Paige!" For the first time Eloise raised her voice. "Blake Carlisle kissed you?!" She sounded as if she was still processing the thought.

"How'd it feel?" Shari finally spoke.

Before I could say another word, the waiter came making us silent. She bowed again at Eloise and served our food.

"Ugh!" I complained once the waiter left. "What am I going to do?" I rubbed the sides of my head.

"You shouldn't do anything." Aicko laughed as she poured maple syrup on her blueberry pancakes. "You act as if he's proposed to you or something."

They all laughed.

I glared at her and faced my food. I slumped on my seat and angrily poked my Belgian waffles before bringing it to my mouth.

"But why do you seem so angry?" Shari said taking her eyes off from her sausage and eggs. "Wait! Did he steal your first kiss?"

Everyone turned to me with a questioning look.

I sipped on my fresh milk. "Nope." That's a good thing right?

"See." Aicko pointed her fork at me. "Then there's nothing wrong."

"Whatever." I took another bite from my waffles. "That idiot comes out from nowhere and kisses me like any other girl out there." I felt anger boil up inside me again.

I frowned when the three of them looked up to me again.

"What are you talking about?" Aicko raised her eyebrow trying to hide her teasing smile. "Blake never hangs out with girls nor kisses them."

"He thinks non of us high class Elite or Royals are good enough for him." Shari pointed out. "One of the reasons he's never had a girlfriend since birth."

"You know Paige." Eloise faced me. "You're most certainly Blake's first kiss."

My mouth dropped. The girls shared a huge amused smile.

"You're joking." That's unbelievable. "Why on earth would he do that to me then?!"

"Bet you know the answer." Aicko smiled before sipping on her fruit drink.

_______________________

After we had breakfast we decided to enjoy the beach. As usual, we had a pictorial again and these girls made me do weird poses like laying on the sand or whatsoever.

"Ok here comes the wind!" Aicko exclaimed. "Get me a candid shot Shari!" Aicko said before putting her hand on her hat and feeling the breeze against her hair making it fly.

Shari clicked the camera and after a few shots Aicko came to see it. "Perfect for my Instagram!" She giggled.

Eloise did some poses which looks as if she's posing for a portrait for the French Palace. Ever the lady.

I laughed when Shari lay down on the sand and Aicko took the shot. These girls would really do anything to get a nice picture uploaded on their Instagram.

"Hey Peggy!"

I jumped from where I was standing when Aiden surprised me.

I punched his shoulder. "What?"

"Ouch!" He held onto his shouder. Maybe I did hit him quite hard, well it's his fault for jumping me especially now when I'm in a bad mood. His hair was wet and he was half naked, probably been swimming. He had a mango smoothie in his hand.

"Sorry." He leaned lower to my height and gave me his puppy eyes. "I didn't know you were in a bad mood."

I tried to stop myself from laughing. He sounds like a baby apologizing for breaking something.

I crossed my arms.

He laughed. "So you forgive me already?"

"Whatever." I stood on my tippy toes and took a large sip from the straw of his mango smoothie.

"Hey!" His eyes widened with shock when he saw that I've already finished half of it. "I just bought this." He really sounds like a baby.

"Weirdo." I sat on the sand and he sat beside me holding his mango smoothie on the other hand to keep it away from me.

The girls are already swimming. Aicko waved at us to join but I signaled that I'll come later. I want to spend some time with my best friend.

Among all my friends Aiden has and always will be number one.

"Hey can I ask you a question?" I turned to him.

"Hmm." He was sipping on his mango smoothie.

"Have you ever been kissed before?"

I got shocked when He immediately chocked on his drink.

"Oh my God." I laughed. "Are you okay?"

He patted his bare chest hardly while he coughed. "Why would you ask such a thing?" He sounded as if I've taken him by surprise by the mere mention of the question.

"Nothing." I slumped my shoulders. "I'm just curious."

"Well No." He placed his mango shake aside. "Why would someone want to kiss a guy like me?" He said humbly.

"Stupid." I rolled my eyes at him. "Stop playing to be humble, you and I both know that there are many girls lining up for you."

He kept silent. Probably because he's guilty HAHAHA.

"Have you ever kissed anyone before?" I know that Aiden and I are close but we never really talk about this topic, although I always bring it up he just always avoids it.

He faked a cough. "Why are you asking these silly questions?"

I just smiled at him waiting for an answer.

"No, I haven't." He said.

"You see my friend." I laughed at him. "That is one of the reasons why you've never had a girlfriend yet."

He rolled his eyes making me laugh even more.

"Seriously, don't you like any of the high-class girls or Princesses in your line of admirers?

He shook his head. "I don't need a line, I just need one." He chuckled. "And she's not even in that line."

My eyes widened. "You like someone!" I shaked his arm. "Who is it?!"

He smirked at me. "Secret."

I rolled my eyes. Here he goes again, ever since we were young he'd always say that he has this secret crush and until now he still doesn't who it is!

Maybe his crush is dead. Joke!

"You're unfair." I crossed my arms. "Whenever I'd get a crush, you're the first one I'll inform but ever since you haven't told me anything about yours!" I complained. "Just make sure she's kind and beautiful."

He chuckled. "She's cute."

I raised my eyebrow at him. Wow! Now he's giving some clues on who she is.

"Can I guess?"

"You don't need to, I'm sure you'll get it wrong."

I swatted his head and he laughed.

"You should tell her how you feel." I told him truthfully. "Admit it or not, we both know that she's the same person you've liked ever since."

He hugged his knees.

"Tss." I rolled my eyes again. "I forgot that you're the shy type."

I sighed as I felt the cool ocean breeze brush my skin. My eyes lit up when an idea popped into my head.

I gave Aiden a joking smile. "Maybe you should kiss her to make her know how you feel."

He shook his head and laughed. "Then she would punch me for sure."

I frowned and punched his shoulder. "Coward! How are you ever going to get a girlfriend now?!"

He rubbed his shoulder. "I don't need a girlfriend because I have my bestfriend."

_____________________

"No I don't want to!" I pulled crossed my hands and shook my head.

"C'mon just this once." Aicko pleaded.

"No." I said firmly. "I am never stepping in a club ever again."

"It's a beach club, and besides you don't have to take the alcoholic drinks if you don't want to." Shari pointed out. "Our whole batch will be there, c'mon."

"No I'm also avoiding someone lest you forgot."

"Oh Paige." Aicko sighed. "Don't let him stop you from having fun and what are you going to do when were gone? Read books?"

My eyes lit up. "Yes, Precisely that's what I'm going to do."

"I can stay with you here if you want, I have something to read aswell." Eloise offered.

"Nope." Aicko clung to both of our arms. "We're all having fun tonight and because it's our last night before we leave tomorrow."

"Pleaseeeee." Shari pleaded.

Eloise turned to me. "What do you think Paige?"

"No." I stomped my foot. "There is no way I'm ever going inside a club ever again Period!"

_________________

"Hi girls welcome to the club!" Jessie an Australian Billionaire heir greeted us.

"Hi." I smiled and followed Aicko inside.

"Awww I'm so glad you gave in!" Aicko giggled as she clung to my arm and we searched for a

table.

I rolled my eyes. "As if I had a choice."

She laughed.

It's already 7 in the evening, we just had dinner and now here we are in the beach night club. There are many tables and as usual a dance floor which is already filled with our batchmates. Some waiters served drinks.

Anxiety filled me in as I searched for Blake.

"He isn't here." Eloise whispered. Wow she must've did guest check.

I exhaled. It's a miracle that I haven't ran into him the whole day. Hopefully He doesn't show up.

"Cocktails?" Aicko came and gave us each a cocktail.

I was about to refuse when Aicko took it back. "Oops sorry, no alcohol for you." She laughed.

I smiled while they each drank.

"Ooh that's nasty." Aicko said when she placed her glass down.

Eloise gracefully placed her glass down aswell then eyed me. "I think they serve softdrinks and water at the bar counter." She pointed towards it.

I smiled. "Ok." I stood up and walked towards the counter.

It was a countertop with high chairs and a guy bartender stood behind it.

"Hey." The bartender greeted when I approached.

"Hi." I smiled and climber up the high chair.

"Beer?" He asked.

"Uhm could I have some Cok-"

"Red Wine."

My eyes widened when Bellona sat on the high chair beside me. Her wavy brown hair was in a high ponytail making her neck more visible, she wore a red dress. Her presence screamed elegance.

The bartender seemed awestruck by the sight of her. "You'd like wine your highness?"

"Do I have to repeat?" She eyed him without any emotions but one could tell that she was annoyed.

"N-no." He bowed and turned to me. "What do you like again? Coke am I correct?" The Bartender asked.

I got surprised when Bellona turned to me. Although she didn't say anything I'm sure she's surprised of my drink of choice.

"Ma'am? Coke you say?" The Bartender repeated his question.

"Uh no." I shook my head. "Did I say Coke?" I faked a laugh

"I believe you did ma'am." the Bartender looked confused.

"I meant Cocktail." I faked a smile.

"Oh." The Bartender laughed. "Wait a second Ladies." He went to get our drinks.

I slightly turned to Bellona who was still looking at me. She raised her eyebrow and turned her attention back to the Bartender.

I silently played with my fingers while we waited. Then it dawned on me.

What did I just say?! I thought I was going to get Softdrinks? Why do I end up getting Cocktail?!

"Here you go ma'am and your Highness." The Bartender served our drinks.

I gulped at the sight of the cocktail drink. I mean on the bright side, it isn't fully alcohol right? I mean it's partly mixed with fruit.

Bellona got her drink using her left hand making me get a glimpse of her rose gold ring with a diamond in the center. It looked so beautiful.

I reached out for my drink as well. I sighed as I held my glass between my fingers.

Through my peripheral vision I eyed Bellona. She elegantly held her wine glass and took a sip from it. Her wine matched her dress. Why does she look so much like a painting. I laughed at what I was thinking.

My eyes widened when she turned to me and eyed me.

I looked away. I waited for he to look away but she didn't. I sighed and lifted my cocktail to my mouth.

I cannot believe I'm doing this.

I took a deep breathe and took a tiny sip. I felt the drink enter my mouth and down my throat. Why does it taste so bad?!

I tried my best to stop myself from spitting it out. I instantly felt a little dizzy. God! Is it my fault why I'm not used to drinks like this?!

Suddenly Bellona stood up and left the counter and walked towards Khrysie's table.

I sighed and looked at the Bartender. I really want to give it back, All I wanted was Coke!

I eyed my cocktail again. I'll never get used to it if I don't try it. But I don't like it!

I sighed. Another tiny sip won't hurt.

I took a deep breathe and brought my cocktail close to my mouth ready to sip it.

I got surprised when it was immediately taken away from my hand the second before my lips could touch it.

I frowned. "Hey!" I turned to the one who got it and became instantly silent.

"Shit!" I muttered.

Blake eyed me and sat on the high chair where Bellona was sitting on a while ago, having my cocktail drink in one hand.

I didn't mind him looked away. How am I possibly going to look at him after what happened last night?!

"What can I get you sir?" The Bartender asked him.

"Coke."

I rolled my eyes, so he's a softdrink guy too.

The Bartender handed him a can and he opened it.

I was about to leave when he suddenly slid the can infront of me.

"Drink that." He said in a deep voice.

I frowned. Why is he giving me this? He suddenly drank from my cocktail. "Wow." I muttered sarcastically.

"I don't want it." I moved the can away from me.

His eyebrows furrowed.

I didn't mind it and faced the Bartender again. "Can I have another cocktail please? This guy beside me took mine." I smiled at the Bartender.

He seemed confused but just nodded.

"No." Blake suddenly said making the Bartender stop preparing my drink. "She can't have alcohol."

The Bartender looked at me.

I glared at Blake. "Says who?"

"Me." He placed the can again infront of me. "Just drink that."

"I'm not a kid." I said firmly. "And you're not my father to tell me what to do." I held my chin up although my body shook at his presence.

"Just drink the coke puppy." He said annoyed by me.

I rolled my eyes and faced the Bartender again who looks so confused because of the both of us.

"One cocktail." I eyed him. "Send it to my table." I pointed towards our table where Aicko and the girls were already doing God knows what.

Blake frowned. "Don't do it."

I kept my look on the Bartender. "My table." I placed my payment on the counter and left my seat leaving Blake behind.

Who does he think he is to tell me what to do?!

I went back to our table and found Eloise all by herself reading a book with her legs crossed and her back straight. Is that even comfortable? I mean when I read I'd prefer something soft on my back so I'd either be laying on the bed or sofa.

"Where are the others?" I sat beside her.

She looked up from her book. "Dancing." She pointed to the dancefloor.

I looked at the dancefloor and saw Aicko and Shari already dancing. I started to feel dizzy because of the disco lights. Eloise looked as if she didn't mind, she's probably used to it.

"They're not drunk aren't they?" I pointed to Aicko and Shari.

"Nope." Eloise shook her head. "Those two have high alcohol tolerance."

"Wish I am too." I slouched on my chair and turned to Eloise. "How bout you?"

Eloise looked at me. "I don't drink." She smiled.

"But a while ago?" I was confused.

"That was a 4 seasons juice." She smiled.

Wow what a good girl she is. I laughed.

The Bartender then came and served my drink in a tray.

"Thankyou." I said. He smiled and left, he's probably happy that he doesn't have to deal with me anymore.

I looked to my side and my eyes widened when I saw Blake in his table with Ram looking right at me. What the hell?

Hmm I'll show him that I can handle drinks.

I drank from my cocktail. I closed my eyes as I felt the drink through my throat.

"Woah!" Aicko sat beside me. "Since when did Coke become Cocktail?" She laughed.

Shari came aswell. "How does it taste?"

I coughed a bit.

"You okay?" Eloise asked.

I gave a weak smile. "I'm not drinking that ever again."

"Good." Aicko nodded.

Suddenly one of the boys yelled. "Outside!"

The next thing I knew was that everybody cheered and everyone was heading outside still holding their drinks.

I followed Aicko and the girls outside. I felt a little dizzy but I'm sure that I'm not yet drunk.

Some of them started a campfire while others were playing beach volley ball.

"Aicko you in?!" One of the boys called.

Aicko smiled. "I'm so in!" She ran towards the net and they started playing.

Everyone was having a good time. Good thing they finally left the club, I hate that place, so many temptations.

I laughed when I spotted Aiden playing beach volleyball aswell. As usual he's half naked, typical habit of his. Flaunting his abs.

I chuckled when I saw Diana mesmerized at the sight of him.

Eloise and Shari were just playing with the water, soaking their feet. I joined them. The night seemed perfect.

My smile suddenly disappeared when I spotted Blake walking towards me.

"Psst." Shari called. "He's coming."

"Lets just walk away silently." I told them.

Eloise raised an eyebrow at me. "Are we seriously doing this?"

I smiled.

She shook her head but she followed my lead as we trudged through the sand slowly.

When we got through a distance Shari spoke.

"Did we lose him?"

"Hey!" Blake's voice echoed in my ears.

"Shit!" I muttered.

Eloise laughed at me. "It is certainly rude to ignore someone when being called." She used her French accent.

"I'll just pretend I didn't hear him."

We continued to walk away slowly when Blake called again.

"Puppy!"

I squeezed my eyes shut. Can't he just leave?!

"Girl, he's right behind us." Shari whispered.

Eloise smiled. "We'll give you two some space."

My eyes widened. 'Wait-wait-No." I complained but they already left my side and started splashing their feet against the water again.

I squeezed my eyes shut when I felt Blake's hold on my hand.

"Hey." He said in a more silent tone.

I didn't turn to him. "What?"

"We have to talk."

I rolled my eyes. "There's nothing to talk about." I walked away from him.

"Hey." He kept up with my pace. Damn his long legs.

"Stay away from me." I glared at him, but I suddenly felt a sting in my chest when I said those words. But why?

"Hey." He repeated when I wouldn't stop walking.

"Just mind your own business Blake." I used his name.

"Stop." He said in a serious tone. "You're walking close to the rocks, you won't get to see them in the dark."

I scoffed. Why does he sound like a father again?

I faced him. "Stop acting like you're worried for me." When I know you're not. I said to myself.

He rolled his eyes. 'Why would I need to act, If I really am?"

That made me stop walking. After everyday passes by he keeps on being a part of my life and gives me these feeling that I couldn't understand.

I took a deep breathe. I need to keep distance from him if I want all this to stop.

"Just go." I said.

"Wait!"

I frowned then suddenly my eyes widened when my foot hit a sharp rock and the next thing I knew was that I fell onto the sharp huge rock and I found myself on the sand."

"Shit!" Blake said and walked towards me. He kneeled beside me and looked at my wound. He made another curse when he saw it closely.

I squeezed my eyes when I felt the sear of pain through my foot. I looked at it and watched as the blood streamed down.

"I told you to stop." He muttered.

I was speechless. All that I could think now is how stupid I am.

I got shocked when he tore a part of his polo shirt's sleeve and wrapped it around my wound.

"Why would yo-Ahh!" I couldn't hold the pain as he wrapped the cloth around my wound.

"Sorry." He immediately said and did it in a gentler way. "Does it hurt now?"

I shook my head.

I got shocked at the sudden change of his voice when he apologized, it was calming and well...sincere. I've never heard him sound like this.

"Paige?!" Shari exclaimed when she saw me.

She and Eloise approached me. Good thing the other people couldn't see us since it's dark in this side of the beach.

"Oh God what happened?" Eloise got shocked when she saw my wound.

Shari frowned. "It looks deep."

Blake tied the cloth. "She needs help."

"There aren't any medics in the resort." Eloise informed.

"Where's the nearest hospital?" I asked.

"That would be quite far from here." Shari said.

I closed my eyes when I felt another wave of pain.

"We need to get it healed." Eloise sounded so serious. "Now."

"But how?" Shari asked.

"I know a place." Blake said.

"Y-you do?" I raised my eyebrow.

He nodded. "It's not that far."

"Perfect!" Shari clapped her hands. "Paige, you go with Blake and we'll come too." She faced Blake. "Is that alright?"

"No." I shook my head. "I can take care of myself, I don't need to go with him."

Eloise frowned at me. "You're going with him to get your wound healed, there's nothing we could do otherwise." She sounded angry.

"Fine."

"And we'll join you." Shari added.

I immediately shook my head. "No, you guys aren't going to cut your outing short because of my stupidness."

"But-"

I glared at them and they got the message.

"Ugh!" Eloise sighed then faced Blake. "Just take care of her."

He nodded.

"Now lets get her to your car." Shari said. "Can you carry her?" She asked Blake.

Before Blake could answer I protested.

"No! I'm too heavy."

Blake raised their eyebrow at me. "You're small so you won't be that heavy."

"Then lets find someone to help carry you." Shari nodded. "Oh hey Kile! Can you help us!?"

My eyes widened at what I heard. "Shari don't!"

"What's wrong?" I hear Kile's low voice. Shit he's here.

I suddenly noticed his change of expression when he saw Blake with me he then turned to my foot and frowned. "What happened?"

"Long story short, she hit her foot on the sharp rocks so can you help carry her to Blake's car?" Shari said straight to the point.

I don't know if I'm imagining things or something but through the dark, I swore that I saw Blake's frown when Kile approached us.

"Ok." Kile said plainly.

Kile and Blake positioned themselves on both of my sides and they carefully brought me up to stand.

"Ahh!" I exclaimed when I placed weight on my wounded foot.

"Careful." I heard Kile whisper.

We carefully walked through the sand going to the parking lot on the other side of the resort.

Blake's arm was on my waist while Kile was holding onto my arm supporting my leg. Isn't this too much?!

It was weird coz both Blake and Kile were awfully silent while supporting me walk. Shari and Eloise tailed behind.

We approached Blake's black sports car.

Good thing no one spotted us.

"Hey What's up!" I was wrong.

Ram approached us but his eyes widened when he saw my bleeding foot.

"Oooh." He looked up to me. "Does it hurt?"

"Obviously." I rolled my eyes.

Kile let go of me while Blake helped me get seated. Kile placed my seatbelts on me. I frowned. Hello? It's my foot injured not my hand!

Shari and Eloise both waved goodbye to me and Blake closed the door.

He had a little chit chat with Ram, I frowned when I saw Kile walk away just like that. Something's probably wrong with them.

I watched Eloise and Shari talk some orders to Blake telling him to take care of me.

Before, I'd always feel scared and anxious when near him. But now, for some unknown reason. I'm not scared anymore.

I caressed my foot, trying my best to not let my blood drip on Blake's car. It would be embarrassing.

Blake came inside the car and started the engine. We started to drive through the dark night.

I sat on my seat silently, trying to endure the pain.

"Where are we going?" I asked. Well of course, I'd want to know where he's taking me duh.

He leaned his arm on the window keeping his other on the wheel. Classic Blake. "You'll see."

If he was someone else, I'm sure I'd protest or get worried but with him, I feel secure. I don't know why.

He kept making glances at my foot.

I didn't mind it, instead I leaned my head on the window as I watched us drive through the California night.

He was exceptionally silent tonight and I'm glad he is, I'm tired of talking. But questions still keep playing in my head.

Why didn't he take the exams? Why did he just disappear? Where has he been? Why did he kiss me?

I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.

I opened my eyes when he tapped my shoulder. "We're here."

I sat up straight and Blake got out of his seat and went to my door to open it for me.

I looked at where we were. My eyes widened at the sight of this huge mansion before me.

"W-where are we?" I was a bit disoriented.

He took off my seatbelt. "My house."

Now it all made sense. Suddenly, a man in a body guard uniform approached us and he and Blake helped me stand up. Together they helped me approach the main doors. On the main doors there was a fancy Carlisle initial carved on the doors.

Suddenly my heart thudded. Will I be meeting his parents?! In this state? God that'll be embarrassing.

"Relax." Blake whispered in my ear. "My parents aren't home."

I exhaled.

My jaw dropped the second we entered the large main doors. The house had a high ceiling and it had a high glass staircase. Everything looked as if it was interior designed, because it probably is.

"This is a house?" I turned to Blake.

He nodded. "It's my home."

I thanked the bodyguard I think that's what he is. When he placed me down on a huge couch set.

He left immediately and Blake leaned down on the floor to check my foot. "Does it still hurt?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes. "Of course it does."

He nodded. "Wait here for a while."

Before I could protest, he's already left.

I suddenly felt so small. This mansion is huge, I've never expected to get inside a house like this, I mean, I've been to Aiden's mansion but it wasn't this big.

I got shocked when a maid approached me and offered me some drinks. I smiled but refused. I've had enough drinks for tonight.

"Blakey? Are you here?"

My eyes widened when I heard a female voice. Suddenly a girl in a lab gown entered the living room. She was of average height, She had her dark hair in a bun and her skin was fair, she had beautiful green eyes and she had a stethoscope hung around her neck above her lab gown. She looks exactly like Blake.

Her eyes widened when she saw me. "OMG! It's a girl!" She squealed.

Uhm do I look like an alien or something.

I got scared when she walked towards me. "Hi! Who are you exactly?"

"Uh-I." I stuttered.

"Wait! Are you Blakey Wakey's Girlfriend?!"

"Uh-"

"OMG!" She squealed again. "My baby brother's not gay!"

My jaw dropped. So Blake has a big sister, now that's something new.

"I'm Billy by the way." She offered her hand.

I smiled. "Paige."

"Ooh I like your name." She laughed.

My eyes widened when she took a seat beside me.

"Now tell me." She crossed her legs. "Since when were you and Blake together?"

"Actually we're n-"

"Wait, are there many girls who has a crush on him at school?"

"Uhm-"

"Is he a heartthrob at school?!" She squealed again. God I might become deaf in an early age.

"Does he still bully?" She crossed her arms.

I became speechless and tried to construct what I was going to say.

"He's uhm-"

"Billy." Blake called as he walked down the stairs. "I've been looking for you everywhere."

"Ohhh there's my baby!" She squealed and ran to Blake. "I missed you!"

She stood on her tippy toes and squeezed Blake's cheeks. Although Blake towered her a lot by height, she still looked like she had more authority. It looked cute by seeing them, Seeing Blake being treated like a baby makes me laugh.

There are many adjectives that I'd use to describe Blake Carlisle, but a baby was never one of them.

"Ok Billy cut it out." He sound embarrassed.

I chuckled at his change of voice when talking to his big sister.

"I thought you were on a beach outing? What brings you here?" Billy asked.

"We need help." He then pointed to my foot.

Billy looked at it and her eyes widened. "Oh dear Why didn't you say anything Paige?"

"Probably coz you didn't let her speak." Blake said.

"Oh whatever Blakey, I'll just get my tools, her wound would need some cleaning." She then left the living room.

Blake sat beside me. He couldn't look at me, probably embarrassed.

I laughed. "So you have a big sister huh?"

"Obviously." He slouched in his chair.

"Why is she a doctor?" I wondered.

"She's a med student." Blake crossed his arms. "She'll soon inherit our hospitals." Blake said as if it wasn't a big deal.

"Woah." I said in amazement. "You never said that you had a big sister." I eyed him.

"Actually there's three of us." Billy came back with a medical kit and some maids behind her.

My eyes widened. "Three of you?"

"Yes!" Billy said cheerfully. "We're four sibling, three girls one boy, Blakey is our baby." She went to a side table and got a picture frame. There were 4 kids in in it. Three girls all with dark hair and green eyes and little Blake holding a teddy bear. I laughed at how cute he looked in the picture.

That's Becca The oldest, she's in our Resort opening in Paris, she pointed on one of the girls, This is Bobby, the second, she's cruising in the Caribbean for a business conference, she pointed to another one. This is me the third, And this is Baby Blake." She laughed.

I smiled at how jolly Billy is, why didn't Blake get any of that.

"Uhm Hello Doc? You're patient's bleeding." Blake said.

"Oh dear!" Billy came back to reality and eyed my wound. She ordered the maids to get it cleaned while she examined it. "This is quite deep, so I'm going to need to stich it."

I shivered at the thought of being stitched. "Is it going to hurt?"

"No of course not." She laughed. "I've got quick hands and I've got a serum to make sure you feel absolutely nothing." She showed me her serum. "Modern era technology is incredible." She winked at me.

I just nodded.

"Go easy on her." Blake said making me even more nervous.

I took a deep breathe when she injected a serum on me. I hurt a bit but it was tolerable. I closed my eyes when she started stitching me up. I got amazed as my wound enclosed immediately while she started sewing. She was right. Modern era technology is incredible.

After 5 minutes she was done and my deep wound is now nothing but a red mark.

"That would heal soon." She took out her medical gloves. "Just be more careful next time."

"I will."

She stood up and her maids cleaned up her medical kit. "Now I'll leave you two together." She turned to Blake. "Now have some time with your girlfriend."

Blake's eyes widened. "She's not my girlfriend."

"We're not in a relationship." I said.

"What?!" Her jaw dropped. "She's not your girlfriend?" She faced Blake.

Blake shook his head.

"But I thought she was going to be my sister in law." Her shoulders slumped.

My eyes widened at what she said.

"Billy!" Blake said angrily.

"Oh Baby, I'm just kidding." She laughed. "Blakey, show her to the guest room, you two will be staying here for the night."

"But-" Blake protested.

"No Buts!" She said firmly making Blake quiet down. "I'll have the maids prepare your room Paige, they'll make sure that you'll have a comfortable stay."

"Uhm ok." Was all I could say.

"Feel at home Paige." She gave me a warm smile. "You're the first girl he's ever brought here." She winked at me before leaving.

Blake scowled at here and she stuck her tongue at him. Oh how I wish I had siblings of my own.

Blake then helped me walk to one of the guest rooms. It was so big and it had a queen sized bed with fluffy pillows and comforter, there was a tv and night stand and it had a bathroom of it's own. Is this what they call a guest room? It's even better than my own room back at home.

Blake sat me down on the bed and he sat down beside me. Once again we were alone.

Silenced and awkwardness filled the air. Now that we were alone, many things came into my mind. I sighed and face him.

"I have a question." I needed to ask this.

He faced me.

"W-were you drunk last night?"

He shook his head.

I took a deep breathe. "Then why did you kiss me?"

He kept silent.

I rolled my eyes. "Why would you kiss me just as if I'm any girl out there that you'd flirt with." I honestly don't know what I'm saying, I know that people say that he's never kissed anyone but me, but somehow I wanted to hear it from him.

"I only kiss girls that I like."

My eyes widened at what he said, I felt my cheeks heat up and my heart race fast. I couldn't look at him. Then I suddenly felt a sear in my chest. Did he say girls? So he's kissed others before?

He suddenly stood up and headed for the door, but he stopped before he could open the knob.

"I've only kissed one girl."
