My Best Friend Stole My Royal Boyfriend

Chapter 21

I don’t know what I was thinking about dressing up for school today; everyone looked at

me differently. I don’t think that lever wore makeup to school before and today was a first. Now that I thought about it, when did I ever really wear any makeup on my own without someone intervening for me? I only did it today because my sister insisted, okay, that was a lie. I also did it because I wanted to see Adam’s reaction if he saw me all dressed up. This wasn’t even my dress; it was something my sister had picked out from her closet. It was slightly inappropriate for school, and I was lucky that my parents didn’t see me leave the house like this. That didn’t mean that they wouldn’t spot me going in later. I shake my head; I’ll study about that later.

I freeze when I see Adam walking down the hallway, and my heart stops beating when his gaze falls on me. His eyes don’t look at the dress. Instead, he’s staring at my face. He makes me feel very aware of the makeup there now more than ever.

He ignores some girls trying to talk to him and walks over to me. I gulp when he takes a

few more steps closer to me so that there isn’t much space between us.

He sticks his head to the side as he continues to study me.

“Are you wearing lipstick?” He asks while continuing to examine my face.

My face is red, and I can’t form any words on my lips.

“Did you put on makeup for me?” He asks in a teasing manner. I’m positive that all of the blood in my body has now traveled to my face from the embarrassment of his question.

How could he possibly know that?

My gaze goes behind him, and I notice that many girls from school have decided to stop

and stare at us. If I weren’t careful, everyone would start talking about us, and the news would go straight to my siblings. I couldn’t afford for that to happen. Noah especially will freak out if he sees us like this.

“I don’t think that we should be this close since my brother and sister are back,” I say to him, unable to look him directly in his eyes.

Adam places his two hands on my locker and leans into me. “Or what?” He whispers, his sweet breath fanning my flaming red cheeks.

I can’t think clearly when he’s standing so close to me and looking at me the way that he’s doing right now.

“Get the hell away from my sister!” Noah shouts from across the hall. I jump at the interruption, but it doesn’t affect Adam one bit. His tongue is pressed up against his cheek, and

“She had something on her lips,” he says to Noah. “I was only getting it off.”

With that being said, he turns and strolls away.
