CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

RONNIE POV

I couldn't believe that Res was here in my bed. It felt like everything that's happening now wasn't real. But when I opened my eyes Res was sleeping soundly beside me he had his hand wrapped around my waist tightly scared like was going to disappear into thin air.

Our legs were tangled together. I released his hand and went to the bathroom. Once I stepped out of the bathroom I bumped into a hard body.

I looked up and Res smiled at me.

"Scared?"

I shook my head negatively.

"No I'm not scared you just took me by surprise that's it."

"Come to bed with me."

"Res…"

"What is it?"

I stared at my feet, unable to look them in the eye.

I suddenly felt nervous.

"About last night…."

"I'm sorry if I made things awkward between us Ronnie."

"I was just lost in the moment. I don't want to give you the wrong idea but you're like a sister to me."

I frowned at him.

"Are you being serious right now?" I asked angrily.

He cocked a brow at me.

He gave me a pat on the head.

"I have to go, I'll see you later" he muttered, grabbing his things and leaving my room.

I guess he was back to being a jerk again.

Angry tears spilled down my cheeks.

I had forgotten that things had gone back to normal yesterday. Back in Cordelia when we were still kids Res only saw me as his little sister but despite this I still fell in love with him.

Maybe he still sees me as the little stubborn girl who used to follow him around and nothing more. I thought he loved me back when he kissed me last night.

What kind of person pulls that crap on a girl? He kissed me last night and this morning I'm suddenly his sister.

But that was just Res he wasn't worth this kind of attention especially when he started acting like a dick.

A part of me felt relieved because last night I wanted to tell him the truth. I was going to tell him that I was Ron hoping that he would want me.

After taking a shower I got ready for the classes I had today. I kept avoiding Res all day but knew that soon enough he was going to corner me and me confess the truth.

Res was fond of always getting his way.

"Ronnie?"

I turned around and found Maxwell staring at me.

I sighed deeply.

"What do you want?"

"It's been a month Kacey hasn't reported for this semester yet isn't she going to come back?" He asked curiously.

I remained silent.

"I still care about her."

"She's not coming back, her mother made her quit so just move on."

"But she was about to graduate next year."

"I know I wish there was a way to bring her back. I really miss her."

"The worst part is that I don't know where she is right now."

Maxwell looked puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

" A few days ago I called her mother and she told me that Kacey disappeared and she ran away from home."

"It's been a month now and the police haven't found her. I know Kacey better than anyone she doesn't want to be found."

Maxwell looked like he had conflicted feelings.

"Do you know where she is?" He asked curiously.

I shook my head negatively.

"No I have no idea about her whereabouts besides she's not even answering my calls or texts."

"But you're her best friend and best friends always tell each other everything."

I glared at him.

"Would you stop acting like a crazy person right now?"

I scoffed in annoyance and walked past him.

I found Res talking to that blonde perfect girl again. He whispered something in her ear and she giggled loudly.

I could feel a pang of jealousy.

Before I could even blink he was already kissing her as he pinned her to his locker.

Tears threatened to roll down my cheeks.

Maybe for Res kissing girls each second day was just a hobby for him. Yesterday he apologized to me but he was dumb enough not to even notice that I was madly in love with him and he still continued to hurt me.

I decided to ignore Res and his girlfriend and walked past them but before I could get away his voice stopped me.

"Ronnie, wait."

I sighed deeply and turned around to face him.

He dragged me to the spot where the blonde girl shot daggers at me. I was certain that she wasn't really fond of me.

Res gave me a pat on my head.

"Chloe, this is my little sister Ronnie."

I faked a smile and offered Chloe my hand. She stared at it for a while then shook it.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Ronnie. I had no idea that Res had a little sister since you two look nothing like each other."


"We're not related by blood" was all I could manage to say and Chloe nodded quietly.

"Oh I see, is she the adopted sister you were talking about?" Chloe asked curiously.

I swallowed hard.

Res knew it as well. I hated it when my adoption was brought up. It made me feel like my parents didn't want me. That's why they chose to abandon me.
But Karliah and Lisa would say that my parents were involved in an accident because the letter they found next to me was covered in blood.

If one of my parents wrote that letter it meant that one of them must have survived the accident but I couldn't understand why they hadn't come for me yet.

"Ronnie."

"Ron?"

I stared at Res.

"I have to go, I'm late for class."

Before he could utter a word I was already gone. Maybe this was just pointless; it had to come to a stop at some point because Res found out the truth.


RES POV

I glared at Chloe when Ronnie left in a hurry. I knew her better than anyone else. She hated it when her adoption was being mentioned.

"Why did you have to do that?"

Chloe shrugged carelessly.

"I don't think that girl is your sister Res because I saw you coming out of her room this morning."

"Is calling her sister just a fuck code? Because I know that you spent the night in her room."

I rolled my eyes at her.

"Don't act all jealous because you're not even my girlfriend we just fuck when my dick has an itch got it?"

Chloe rolled her eyes at me and walked away.

I hated it when girls got all clingy. It was just the most annoying thing to go through as a male. First they'll start throwing tantrums and show their moods and a few minutes later they'll come back crawling back to you.

My phone buzzed and I fished it out of my pocket. I had received a text.

Text: Did you get rejected again?

I looked around the halls.

Me: Ron?

Text: I know that you're dying to see me. I have a gig tonight at club kiss.

Me: I'll take that as an open invitation to fuck as well.

Text: you might just go home with blue balls Resmond Connard.

Me: it's Res. I hate it when people call me by my full name.

Text: see you tonight Res.

Was that girl stalking me? Dang! She had me more turned on than ever if she was a lunatic.

I went back to class with a goofy grin on my face.

She was really something. Next month it was going to be Ronnie's birthday. The girl I saw was becoming a woman and it was getting hard to just see her as my sister.

I wanted her beneath me moaning my name. I was her first kiss and yet I craved to be the first man to make her a woman.

I sighed softly and went back to class.

KACEY POV

Anthony was there for me when I needed someone to be close to me in this tough time. He helped through the ups and downs of my pregnancy. He was definitely a true friend.

He was present when I gave birth to my daughter. He was the one who held her for the first time.

"Anthony, is it okay if I name my daughter after yours?"

I smiled at him.

His gaze lingered on my face.

"Kacey you don't have to do that."

"It's the perfect name, what do you say?"

He nodded eagerly.

"Thank you Kacey."

"Tatia is a pretty name."

My daughter was a carbon copy of Liam. She had his hair color and eyes. Anyone with two eyes could probably figure out that she was Liam's daughter.

A few days later I was discharged from the hospital. Anthony and I took turns watching Tatia and over the years we both watched her grow up. We witnessed her first steps and words every moment was priceless but a part of me felt guilty because I chose to keep Liam out of her life.
