Chapter 2

It'd been about two weeks since Jackson and I had met, and we hadn't gone on our date yet but we had talked so many times in school. We eventually decided that since we hadn't gone out together before we should go out and spend some time on our own.

With my phone, mini backpack, Air pods, and the new phone for Jackson. I got to the park gates and saw him already there waiting for me.

"Hey, am I late? I'm so sorry if I'm late" I apologized.

"No, you're not late actually I just got here early" he said.

"That means I made you wait then"

"No, it's fine...so uhmm I brought your replacements" he said lifting a small bag in his hand.

"Yeah, we both know we're not just gonna exchange replacements and go back home, let's take a walk around the park at least"

"I thought it wasn't a date" he chuckled.

"It's still not, let's call it two random schoolmates just taking a walk in the park"

"Random school mates. Dang. That tugged at my heart, you couldn't even say friends"

"My apologies. Two random friends taking a walk in the park" I said with a smile making emphasis on 'Friends'.

"So you think we're friends now huhn" he chuckled.

"I mean, your heart practically broke when I didn't say friends so since you were begging I had to obey" I teased and started walking inside the park.

"Begging? I don't think I was begging" he said and followed me in.

"You were all like, oh my gosh I can't believe you didn't say we were friends, my heart is broken and it's beyond fixing" I teased.

"I don't think "oh my gosh" is something I would say and I do not sound like that" he chuckled.

"Sure you do, I mean I sounded exactly like you, no difference"

We had a nice talk with jokes, teasing and a lot of laughter. It felt nice talking to him, I mean, if talking to him was actually this easy why hadn't I tried before?

"I have to go home now, I have a lot of work to do" I said.

"Work?"

"Yeah, school work"

"It's the end of the term, you can't be doing school work?"

"You caught me in my lie then, I guess I'm just feeling way too many butterflies while talking to you that it makes my face turn red like a tomato" I teased again but it was actually true but he didn't know that.

"You can never feel way too many butterflies, I mean they're butterflies it's a beautiful feeling"

"How would you know?" I smirked.

"Maybe I'm having butterflies too, but mine doesn't feel enough to actually express how I feel talking to you" he said and he didn't sound like he was teasing.

"Someone's falling hard for my charms" I teased again.

"You have no idea" he chuckled and so did I.

"How about I give you the new phone?"

"Why?"

"No reason" I smiled mischievously.

"I'll accept it but I won't give you your clothes just yet, you might run"

"I can run even after giving you the phone" I stated.

"Thank you for your advice, I will not be accepting the phone yet"

"Dang, Kyra" I facepalmed.

"Kyra" he repeated after me and when I looked up at him he had a sweet smile on his face, his eyes were on me as if remembering something but his attention was somewhere else.

"Hello?..." I waved my hand in his face and he blinked and looked at me again.

"Sorry I uhh...–" he said.

"Spaced out" I completed it for him.

"Yeah"

"So what's your name?" I asked him already knowing his name, I mean, he was basically an internet superstar everyone knows his name. He's even a musician and is in a boy band who wouldn't know his name but anyways he didn't know I knew that. And again we've been talking for about a or two week now I should know his name.

"You...don't know my name?" He asked looking rather disappointed.

"Did I have to in some way?" I asked with an arched brow.

"Wow" was all he said before he opened his mouth to say his name but I stopped him by putting my index finger on his lips. Just as expected they were soft.

"I mean, it's not like your anyone important, but...I do know this guy with black curly hair and bright silver eyes and...somewhat tanned skin, more like a half cast but with more American–"

"When you describe him like that he seems like a god"

"He is but you're not– as I was saying. He has an amazing singing voice and has the most attractive body in the whole world...his name...his name's–" I did a shiver as I said my last word before turning back to him and walking up to him.

"Just the very thought of his name send shivers down my spine, his strong scent, his perfect body oh God I'm going crazy" I said letting my head fall back in fake pleasure and he caught it and lifted me back up but I walked away from him. I was teasing him good.

"W-wh-what's h-his n-n-name?" He stuttered.

"His name?" I turned back to him and I saw him nod then I strode toward him and smiled.

"His name's Drew" I said simply and watched as Jackson expression changed. He looked irritated but that wasn't all but I couldn't read the other emotions written on his face. "His name's Jackson, I don't know where Drew came from" I said with a teasing smile. His expression softened and he smiled and facepalmed.

"You!" He said.

"Me" I smiled.

"Anyways, tell me about this Jackson"

"No! I don't talk about boys like him, I feel the mare say of his name sweetens me and I don't like being sweetened." I said and my smiled dropped immediately.

"Interesting"

"How do you know my name?" I asked him.

"I heard you say it" was all he said. I felt disappointed but I didn't want to show it, I thought he was teasing me and he indeed was I looked over at him and saw him smiling while just staring at me.

"Your teasing me, aren't you?" I asked.

"Say whatever makes you happy" he said still smiling and I chuckled.

"I really think I should get going, it's getting late" I said looking up at the sky.

"What time is it?"

"6:37pm" I said looking at my phone.

"Hmm, you don't come out often do you?" He asked and I shook my head. "Of course" he stood up from the grass we were sitting on and helped me up.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked as I stood.

"I mean, it's just 6:37pm and you say it's late. What's your curfew?"

"I don't have one" I said and Jackson's eyes narrowed but before he could ask any questions one of my bodyguards came up to me.

"You're needed at the mansion immediately" my bodyguard, Frederick said.

"Shit! I have to go, I have a lot of things I'm busy with we'll talk tomorrow or later" I was about to rush off when I felt his hand grab mine and I froze and turned to him.

"Your replacements" he lifted the bag in his hand and I took it from him and remembered his phone, but when I wanted to hand it to him he declined it so I pushed it into his hands.

"You will take it" I said and he took it with a smile and waved me goodbye as I left.

.

  After fully freshening up I jump on my bed and picked up my phone and smiled at what I thought. As if knowing I was done with the things I was doing my phone started ringing and for some reason I smiled knowing who it was.

J. Hey

Me. Hey

J. How are you?

Me. I'm okay, you?

  This conversation was so weird.

J. I'm okay too

Me. Wanna explain how you got my number already?

J. Wanna explain why it was already in my new phone?

Me. No

J. Then no

  We both chuckled at our silly attitude. The call was silent before I said.

Me. How does it feel?

J. How does what feel?

Me. Your heart racing

J. I mean

He said with a scoff.

Me. You've fallen for me, your heart's not hiding it

J. I didn't think you'd be able to hear it, I can't believe it just gave me away like that

Me. Your heart and mine are close friends, if you can feel mine then I bet it's yours I'm feeling and not just mine

J. I can definitely feel yours.

After our long conversation I went to bed with a smile on my face. Jackson and I had gotten so close, I was falling harder for him. I couldn't tease him without being true to my words anymore. I didn't even like it cause Jackson was in a relationship and I didn't want to have anything to do with her at all costs.

-

  When I opened my eyes the next morning I did my morning routine and went downstairs.

"Morning" I greeted everyone in the kitchen.

"Morning" they all answered me at the same time. Elsa, my older sister, dad and mum

"You're just in time" Elsa said and I knew what that meant, I sat on one of the barstools on the kitchen island and she slid a plate and a fork in front of me and inside that plate was, something I couldn't comprehend what it was, but it looked good. I smiled when I smelt the aroma. Elsa explained what it was but I only had to hear fried chicken and cheese before picking it up and putting in my mouth.

Elsa watched me intently, waiting for a reply or a face at least when I groaned in approval.

"You like?"

"I love" I said with my mouth full.

"I'm adding it to the restaurant menu" Elsa said.

"You should, I think this is your best dish yet" I said again with my mouth full.

"I feel so offended though, I was here, you didn't offer any to me for a taste you just waited for Kyra and gave it to her" mum said.

"You know I'm Elsa's favourite mum, don't worry about it" I teased mum and she pouted with her hands crossed over her chest. Dad smiled and walked up to her kissing her forehead.

"Don't worry" that was all dad said before he grabbed my plate with half of Elsa's chicken loaf left in it.

"No dad!" I whined as he handed the plate to mum and she smiled before picking up the fork and tasting it.

"Your mum's my favorite, sorry Eme" dad kissed my forehead and walked back to mum's side as they ate my chicken loaf together.

"That's all that's left sis, the rest needs to get to the restaurant. But...if you run some errands for me I might be able to snag you a few" Elsa said and she knew she had my attention. She handed me a list and I got right on it. I went to the family bakery. The M's Bakehouse. "M" there stands for Maxwell.

After getting there and dropping the things that needed to be dropped off and delivered I went to the kitchen were I knew I'd find him. And sure enough I did.

"Hey" I said as I walked in and he turned to me.

"Kyra" he smiled.

"Mhmm" I smiled back.

"What's with that smile? What do you have for me?"

"An invitation" I said trying to hold back my excitement.

"Invitation to what?"

"My family's hosting a party this evening and I'd love for you to come, and also it's invite only so you need this card" I said handing it to him.

"What if I didn't wanna come" he asked.

"You know that's not even an option"

"Of course I do" he chuckled.

"Great so you'll be there"

"Just to see you and I know you have more to talk about" he said facing the big ball of meat in front of him

"What, no I don't" I denied but I actually did.

"Yes you do, I see it written all over your face"

"Fine your right" I said.

"I know, so you wanna talk about it now or later?"

"Definitely later cause I have some more errands to run and some work to do at the restaurant"

"Why don't you just come here and work with me at the bakery"

"I said I will but for now Elsa is focusing on perfecting the restaurant menu by adding more great foods and removing the ones people don't like much, you know the restaurant is still kinda new" I told him.

"Yeah, but after that then you'll come?"

"Yes"

  He smiled and I waved him a goodbye before going back to the car and letting the driver take me to the family restaurant. The M's Restaurant. Personally I didn't think it was a catchy name but when you're rich and influential anything you do works with everybody. But when I got there there was a commotion outside.
