Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 1050

He could remember going into the room, and then… all he remembered was pounding her. Yeah, I was a bit rough. She's so skinny. I wonder if she could take it well. Jamie got out of bed and tried to hug her. "I swear, there won't be a next—"

"Don't come near me!" Narissa snapped. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Surprised by her fit of anger, Jamie's hands hung in the air. He was in a hugging position, looking confused. What did I do this time?

Shoot. I almost told him. Narissa put her hair up and walked into the bathroom. She turned the faucet on and splashed her face with cold water without stopping her actions.

Finally noticing something wrong, Jamie tried to enter the bathroom, but it was locked, so he knocked on the door. "Babe? You're scaring me. Tell me what happened. Please don't bottle it up. Babe?"

Narissa didn't hear him. She stared into the mirror, but the one staring back at her looked so… unfamiliar. She had hoped for a monogamous relationship—one where she could spend her life with a single man. She never thought there would be a third wheel, yet here they were. What now? Jamie knew all about Danny getting drugged as well. She couldn't excuse this mistake by chalking it up to carelessness. Yet, so many were drugged, including Jamie. This came as a shock, but it was to be expected.

She spent the whole night wondering if she should just put it aside as Ariel did. However, in the end, she decided that she couldn't. Not when that woman was Alicia. That short meeting was enough to tell her that Alicia still liked Jamie.

What about Jamie? He already feels guilty about not choosing Alicia. If he finds out they had sex, will he still be with me? If he can't be mine and mine alone, then that's not the kind of love I would want. She was in pain. Every time she closed her eyes, she would imagine Jamie smooching Alicia. Sometimes,

she would imagine even worse things. Narissa teared up and started crying. No matter how much she tried to wipe her tears away, they wouldn't stop flowing.

"Are you crying? Narissa, I'm going to knock the door down if you're not coming out." Panicked, Jamie rolled his sleeves up. "On the count of three. One… Two… Three—"

Narissa came out just then, looking cold. Beads of water were dripping from her face. She probably just washed her face.

"Are you alright?" He tugged on her sleeve.

She pushed him away. "I'm fine. Everyone's in the dining hall. We should go now."

"Sure. Let me get changed. Give me a minute."

…

When they came to the dining hall, Elise and the others were already there, chatting away happily.

"You guys seem happy." Jamie pulled a chair back for Narissa. Noticing Zephyr there, he said, "Oh, you're here, too! Didn't see you last night."

Zephyr glanced at Narissa. "I slept in. Didn't want to go out."

Yeah, right. Jamie didn't believe it at all, but he didn't press on further. Instead, he elbowed Danny. "So, what were you guys talking about?"

"Nothing."

"Someone spiked his drink with an aphrodisiac," Danny and Alexia answered at the same time.

"Lexi…" He held up his fork. "Don't talk when you eat."

She blew a raspberry at Danny.

"You little traitor." He scrunched his nose up.

"You fell for the same trick twice in less than six months? You're an embarrassment to SK." And then, Jamie asked, "So, did you screw anyone else this time?"

"Of course not!" Danny looked at Ariel lovingly, trying to prove his loyalty. "I'm loyal to Ariel. That aphrodisiac can't make me waver."

"As if." He's bullsh*tting. Better ask Alexia. "Is he telling the truth, Lexi?"

"Yes," said Alexia seriously.

Danny was touched. Aw, she loves me. "See? Told you I wasn't lying."

Just then, she continued, "Irvin said Uncle Danny's love rival was the one who wanted to do him. Technically, he didn't sleep with someone else. It's the other way around." The little girl was learning quickly. She didn't even get confused or flustered when talking about this sort of thing.

"Are you crying? Nerisse, I'm going to knock the door down if you're not coming out." Penicked, Jemie rolled his sleeves up. "On the count of three. One… Two… Three—"

"Love rival? Oh, do you mean Maverick?" Hmm, wait… Whoa. "A guy, huh? Never thought you'd be attractive enough for guys."

Embarrassed, Danny tried to change the subject. "What about you? Raymond told me you finished two bottles of water last night. You must've had it bad."

Jamie nodded. "At first, yeah, but then…" He gave Narissa a look before breaking into a silly smile. Best not to bring up the details when kids are around. Besides, Narissa is still angry at me. She will kill me if I

bring this up.

Look at the face he's making. There must be more to this. Got to find out about it. "Narissa, you got to tell me where you found him. He finished two whole bottles of water. Probably was lying around in a ditch," Danny said.

Jamie froze. I went straight back to my room. What's he talking about?

"Yes." Narissa didn't even look up. "I found him lying face down on the stairs, out cold."

He gasped. "What? But I remember—"

"I know what I saw." She put her cutlery down and sat up straight, looking stern.

He clamped his mouth shut as he didn't want to anger Narissa further.

Oblivious to the tension, Danny laughed. "You were lying face down on a staircase? You could have fallen to your death! And you call yourself a Dragonweiss member. Wait till everyone hears this!"

"You better don't tell anyone." Jamie tossed a piece of bread at him. "Shut up and eat your bread."

Danny caught the bread and took a big bite. "Bet Rylantha's going to love our surprise."

In Room 205, Rylantha woke up feeling refreshed, and the first thing she saw was Maverick. She smiled in contentment. He's handsome and manly. Sure, he's not from the best family, but he has stamina and is obedient. She loved that about him.

"Love rival? Oh, do you mean Maverick?" Hmm, wait… Whoa. "A guy, huh? Never thought you'd be attractive enough for guys."
