MAYA’S POV

I let out a massive sigh of relief. "Thank God. You are incredibly brave, Clara." I said, even though I knew she didn't believe me.

I was so happy she'd be ok and that we didn't threaten her job so much. I turned to the small clock and saw the time. "I really hate to leave you right now, Clara," my voice filled with guilt for all that had happened. "But I have to go. I promised my dad I would help him close up the restaurant and bakery tonight. If I don't show up, he won't give me my

  • Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd    CHAPTER 20: SUGAR MUMMY 

    CLARA'S POVA loud, aggressive pounding on my bedroom door jolted me awake. I sat up so fast my vision went black for a second. The clock on my bedside table read five o'clock. "Open up, Clara. Right now," I heard Jaxson shout through the wooden door.I scrambled out of bed feeling sore; I had barely slept a single wink. I spent the entire night at my desk, surrounded by heavy history textbooks and scribbled notes, but I finally finished. The last page of Jaxson’s history paper was ready at exactly 4:30 AM.I had done mine earlier last week, thank God; else I would have been cooked. We both take history class, so yes, we'll be seeing each other in class, Sloane, too.I unlocked the door and pulled it open. Jaxson stood there looking perfectly refreshed. He was already wearing his workout clothes."Where is it?" he demanded.I reached for the stack of papers on my desk and handed them to him. "Here, it's ten pages. I covered everything the syllabus asked for."Jaxson flipped through t

If I don't show up, he won't give me my daily allowance.""I understand," she said and pulled in for a hug. "You need to go. You’ve already done so much for me today.""Come on," Becca said, grabbing a spare worker jacket from the chair. "I'll walk you out to the back gates and make sure the coast is clear."I watched Clara's face as we slipped out of the room; she looked exhausted. I felt bad about contributing to her stress."I'll call you," I promised, glancing back at her before I pulled the door shut.Becca grabbed my hand; her

    CLARA'S POV"WHAT THE HELL?" I heard the shout loud like a bomb. Jaxson's voice was filled with terrifying fury. "What could have gone wrong in his perfect day?" I wondered.I tucked Lily in quickly and rushed down the corridor, but when I saw him, I stopped. Jaxson was standing in the open doorway of my bedroom, his broad shoulders blocking the entrance completely.‘Oh no, it couldn't be,’ I thought. I peeked behind his side and saw her, my friend Maya, standing frozen in the middle of my room."You." He pointed a finger at Maya. "What are you doing inside my house?""Jaxson, please wait," I gasped, stepping in front of him to block his view of her.He looked down at me with absolute disgust. "You sneak your loudmouth friend from school in here? After everything that just happened downstairs? You are actually insane. Maybe you really should be fired." He turned and walked toward the staircase. I felt a surge of panic and ran after him right away. "​No! Please!" I cried out. My voice

    Jaxson's POV"That's not possible. I'm not driving the nanny to school!!""It is not a request, Jaxson," my father said coldly. "It is an order; she rides in your car, or I take your keys away. The choice is yours." He turned and walked away down the hall.I stood there staring after him in absolute shock long after his footsteps faded. ‘Me? Drive the nanny to school, every single day?’ I thought to myself. My fists clenched until my knuckles turned white.I walked to my window and stood there with my arms crossed, staring out at nothing. Sloane would find out; she's good at digging up stuff. One morning, one sighting, and it would be all over Sterling Heights before first period. Jaxson King chauffeuring the scholarship girl to school like a personal driver.’ They would never let it go; Sloane would make it mean something it wasn't.And Charles, oh, he would love this. He already thought he won when I said yes to the dare. If he saw me pulling up to school with Clara in my passenger s

    Jaxson's POVMy father turned around and glared at me. "What the hell do you mean by that, Jaxson?""What do you think people would say?” I said, walking down the rest of the stairs. “The neighbors, the club members, when they see you throwing her out at this hour?" My parents looked at me like I was speaking a dead language.Maria looked at Clara, then at me. "Master Jaxson, this is none of your concern—""Neither is it yours, Maria." I cut her off. "This is family business.""Don't speak to her like that, Jaxson." My mother said, moving toward me."Oh, wow. So you value the words of a housekeeper over your own son.""JAXSON KING." My father's voice rose to its most dangerous register. "You will not speak to your mother in that tone." He moved closer, looking me straight in the eye. "What exactly is your point? Are you saying we should keep an incompetent staff member while your sister suffers? She came in thirty minutes late.""She was late because of me." The words fell from my mout

  • Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd    CHAPTER 15: I AM NOT THE NANNY

    CLARA'S POVMr. and Mrs. King were standing directly in the center of the foyer; they looked like royalty preparing for an execution. Lily stood between them, holding her mother’s hand with a heavy pout on her face. Maria stood by the left just a few feet away, her arms crossed and a smug smile playing on her lips. The silence in the room was deafening."What sort of incompetence is this, Clara?" Mr. King started, his voice deep and filled with cold authority. "Look at the clock; do you have any idea what time it is?""I'm so sorry, sir," I stammered. "I missed the first bus. I was studying at the library for a presentation, and I lost track of time. I did not mean to be late.""We do not pay you to study," Mrs. King snapped as she took a step forward, “We pay you to care for our daughter. You are thirty minutes late; who was watching Lily while you were riding the public bus?"I turned to the left, "I thought Maria would...""Do not drag me into your incompetence," Maria cut in. "I am

    He stared at me. I stared right back. Our eyes fixed on each other. The world did not end, though it felt like it should have. His mouth opened. "What the hell?" he screamed. "Adene? Is this a joke? Are you stalking me now?" "Jaxson." Maria appeared behind him, but her eyes moved straigh

    The word hit me like a physical blow to the chest.Filled?This couldn't be true. I needed this job. It wasn't just a job; it was the medicine in my mother's veins. It was the roof over our heads."Maria, wait," Mrs. Gabe pleaded. "I spoke to Helena this afternoon. She said—""And I am speaking t

    I couldn’t speak.“She’s fading, Clara,” he continued. "Every hour we wait is an hour we don’t get back. If we delay much longer, she might not make it.”The doctor walked away to check on another patient."I’ll get the money, sir. I’ll try," I whispered as he went.My phone buzzed in my hand. I lo
