The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)

Sophie’s pov

I had ignored Carson the entire ride home and when he dropped me off, I didn’t care to tell him goodbye.

Ingrid had instantly noticed my mood and had cursed Carson for being a douche even though she didn’t know what he had done or said to me. I reassured her that I was fine and it was nothing and went to my room to sleep.

Now it was the next day and I was ignoring Carson. Mali realized something was off and asked me about it

I told her we were just going through a rough patch. What she didn’t know was that I was looking for a way to break up with Carson without hurting him.

I know what he had said to me last night didn’t call for me to be cautious with breaking up with him, if anything I should just cut the chain off, rip the bandaid off. But I was a good person. As good of a person to lie to him.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I was at least trying to be a good person.

So what I did do was avoid him at all cost today and ignore him when he tried to call me. I needed space to think and he wasn’t helping.

A part of me knew that I was only avoiding him because I was still shocked that he said those words to me last night. A part of me couldn’t comprehend how a nice guy like Carson could say such mean stuff to me.

“I’m off to therapy.” Mila sighed as she drops me off in the detention room. Mr. Gray wasn’t here yet.

Call you later?” I said and looked at her.

She nods with a smile. “Definitely.”

And then her eyes roamed over my face. “Are you going to avoid Carson forever Soph?” She asked softly as if treading on something that could shatter at any moment.

I looked away and shrugged.

‘What the hell happened at that party, Sophie? The guy looks miserable while you look sad.’ Mila says with curiosity in her voice.

How can I explain this to Mila without her putting two and two together? How can I avoid mentioning Aiden? It was impossible.

I blinked the light sting in my eyes and turned to face her. “I did something terrible Mila.” I admitted. Sleeping with Aiden wasn’t really a bad thing, it was just now a bad thing that I had developed feelings for him.

Feelings I knew were there before he even kissed me.

Mila looks at me questionably and in worry since she noticed my uncalm demeanor.

She’s about to respond to me, perhaps ask me questions when Mr. Gray’s presence nears us. ‘Chop chop, Mila. You can’t be here.” He warned and looked at me with a stern look

Inside Mrs. Bell He demanded, Mila and I said our goodbyes quickly but I noted how her eyes told me that she would find out what terrible thing I had done

I sighed and settled myself on the chai Seconds later the door is pried open and Aiden walks in with his bag strap on one of his shoulders.

He greets no one and just strolled in

“The door Mr. Xavier.” Mr. Gray says in annoyance.

Aiden rolled his eyes. “I’m too far now. You get it.” He grumbles lowly. “Lazy ass.”

“What did you say Mr. Xavier?!” Mr. Gray demanded as he looked at Aiden’s back in suspicion.

Again ignores him.

As expected, Aiden settles himself beside me and looks at me. And goes right to pestering me.

“Pssst.”

I gritted my teeth and ignored his call.

“Puppy.” He called again this time placing his foot on my desk. He was trying to get my attention the entire day and had not succeeded.

I wasn’t going to let him now.

I turned my head away and ignored him completely, not even telling him to move his foot off the desk

“Are you ignoring me puppy?” He asked in amusement, purposely crossing his foot over the other.

When he realized I wouldn’t budge he stops pestering me. Mr. Gray fell asleep halfway and when it was time for detention to be done, he magically seemed to have awaken.

“See you tomorrow kids.” He said opening and closing the door.

I shook my head when he rushes out of the room without so much as a glance our way.

sighed and moved off the chair. My hand reached out for my bag. But as I tugged it, Aiden grabs a hold of the other strap. Preventing me from taking my bag.

“Let go of my bag Aiden.” I grumble while tugging the bag.

He doesn’t let it go. Only stand up and snorted. “And she speaks.”

“Don’t be an ass Aiden. I have no time for games right now. I have somewhere to be.” I grumble under my breath.

“Somewhere as in with that stupid boy Parson what’s his name?” He gritted out.

“He’s not good enough for you Sophie.”

I turned to him fully, angry that he was still giving me shit about Carson when he was parading with Rena. Just last night he had been dancing with her and trying to make me jealous.

“And you are?” I raised a brow in mockery

My eyes turned like steel as I glared at him for all the wrong reasons. One being that I couldn’t stop thinking about him. And another was not being able to stop my heart frorn reacting to his closeness.

“You’re nothing but a bully Aiden’ Ignitted under my breath

Carson walked around the desk until he was standing beside me, so close that I could feel his heat. I shivered. This time it was a good shiver.

His stormy eyes narrowed down on me and I squirmed ‘That word. You always say that damn word puppy

He takes a step forward until his front was pressing against mine. I willed my legs to move but they stayed frozen and still

Sophie, Aiden says softly.

I fixed my panty while still cursing and grabbed my bag. “Fuck. “I cried and run out of the room before Aiden could even put his jeans back on.

I can’t believe I did that. Especially when I had yet to break up with Carson. I had just cheated on him. I had to tell him. I can’t lie to him anymore.

But little did Sophie know, that Carson had witnessed everything.
