SAGE novel Chapter 37

Sage Miller

"You've lost your mind completely. Why would you do such a stupid thing? What the fuck Sage?" I rolled my eyes.

They've been at it since Wednesday since they 'heard' the rumors. Sebastian was particularly pissed that I didn't tell them myself, or maybe it's the whole concept of me dating Kate and taking her to New York.

I couldn't really tell.

They details didn't matter anymore. I was doing this. They make it seem like I'm going on a suicidal mission.

Talk about drama. Then I'm the dramatic one.

But they wouldn't understand. I wasn't doing this on a damn whim. I didn't invite Kate to New York just because. She is my girlfriend and I should take my girlfriend put, right.

I refuse to look like a fool licking my wounds. I'm not wounded. I won't let Alora think I am.

Kate is the perfect candidate for it.

I truly am obsessed with her.

"I bet she used some voodoo stuff on him." Sebastian and I snapped our heads to Connor.

We gave him a weird look. I raised my brow and stared at him.

"What?" He looked at us like he just didn't say some shit out of the world this. He then shrugged his shoulders. "I wouldn't put anything past her. That woman is evil."

"What is so wrong with her?" I asked them. Lately it's like our conversation revolve around Kate and I.

Can't we talk about something else except my relationship with Kate. It gets so exhausting.

"See, a week ago that sentence wouldn't even crossed your mind much less made it to your lips." He pointed it out. "Voodoo. I'm telling you. She did some weird shit on you."

I rolled my eyes at Connor. Sure, a week ago. Kate didn't as so much crossed my mind but that doesn't mean she used some voodoo shit on me.

"I don't agree with the voodoo shit." Sebastian said. "But you have to understand this from our side. That chick is crazy. As in cocky crazy. Fucking crazy like lock you in her basement so you'll never leave her."

"That's crazy. You're just talking crazy. She's nothing like that and it's like you haven't been listening to me for the past two days." I heaved a defeated sigh.

It's like the two of them aren't hearing one word I'm saying. I've told them over and over again why I'm doing what I'm doing.

"Do you wanna know how I see this?" Sebastian asked. He didn't even wait for my response. "This is some petty fucked revenge because she left you. Because she choose that red head over you."

His words were far from the truth but somehow they found themself a way to the back of chest and pressed hard there.

It pissed me that his words hit a nerve. It pissed me that they pain.

"How could she have fucken left me if we never fucking dated?" I snarled at him. "And what do you fucking know. It's not like you have great advice for me. You don't think I don't know what you've been doing with fucking Chloe."

He tried to defeat himself but I blocked him out. Connor gaped. He wasn't expecting that but Kate told me that Sebastian is sleeping around with Chloe.

After that I stormed off. The bell rang just after I entered the halls and students filled every corner.

I was pissed. The hallways were fucking full and they wouldn't fucking clear.

Lucky I had time to cool off before I had to see either Sebastian and Connor.

I was tired of them thinking they were fucking expects of my life. They irritated me.

"Baby." A sweet sickening voice called. It was way too sweet and I was pissed.

I hesitated for a moment, I wanted to continue walking or stop.

I might as well stop because I had a lapse of judgement at one point and ask her to be my girlfriend.

I had a brain seizure for sure.

She stopped right in front of me and hugged me but didn't forget a kiss on the cheek.

I hugged her back.

"I haven't seen you since classes started today." She whined leaning into me.

I didn't miss the show she displayed to anyone who was watching which was everyone in the damn corridor.

She made sure to remind everyone that she is my girlfriend.

"That was an hour ago." I fought the urge to roll my eyes to the back of my head.

"That's too long." She pouted and part of me had to admit how cute she looked doing that.

Only if cute could do it for me. I found myself thinking it.

This time I rolled my eyes at her.

"What did you need Kate?" I finally asked her.

"Stop being rude to me." She smiled to push her charade of happy couples but I could feel the anger pouring out of her smile.

I use to think she was insane to never show her anger in public. I never noticed it until Connor pointed it out one day.

"Do you remember what I told you when I asked you to be my girlfriend?" I asked her with the same smile but I'm sure she heard the venom under the words.

I saw it when her smile almost fell but she's good at keeping up charades. She's very good. I'll give her that.

"Yes I do." She answered sweetly but her voice wobbled just a bit.

I knew she knew what I meant but I carried on anyway.

"No you don't." I mused with a smile. I'm sure to everyone in the corridors, I looked very much loving but to the specimen in front if me, I looked frightening.

I saw her eyes pleading with me. They said 'please don't'.

"I don't like being nagged. Don't be a nuisance or you're damn dream might be short lived." I told her. "And baby, we're leaving during Lunch. Make sure you let your teachers know."

She was still tense and slightly frozen.

I snaked my arm around her waist hoisting her up just a bit, she was tall all on her own and with her heels She was only inches shorter than me.

Her blonde hair brushed against my arm just a bit. It excited me to no end. It rose goosebumps all over my body.

I'm sure I was excited by the fear I inflicted on her than anything. I loved that smell of fear on someone, especially if I'm the reason.

With that thought I sniffed her in a not so discreet way. She didn't smell like Alora. Her cologne wasn't as expensive as hers.

But she did smell define. I knew the scent of coconut but Kate made the scent her own. The scent of coconut was hers now.

But that's not all I smelled. I smelled the fear on her. She stunk of fear.

I pulled her in and kissed her passionately. The kiss was more of a statement. To remind her who was in charge. Me. Always me. It always will be.

I only kissed her for a brief second but it was enough to leave her panting and wanting more.

I setted her down and just then I noticed the stares and ews. Everything and everyone had stopped to give us their undivided attention.

One corner of my lips tugged up to form a little smirk. I winked at her then turned around and left.

Not everyone was in ewe with us. Some sent glares. I didn't care though. I didn't care.

"Kid, you know how to shine on the spotlight." Will, a senior and the football captain said with a smirk.

"I sure do cap." I saluted him. He rules the school. Just for now though. Only for now.

With my glorious mood, I marched to class and sat next to my friends at our personal assigned seats that we assigned them ourselves.

Calculus wasn't my favourite subject. Actually class wasn't my favourite subject but literature I sort of like.

Although I didn't like sitting in class, I don't mind seating in class for literature. I like writting but reading not so much.

Sebastian looked bored out of his mind while the teacher explained the book we would be focusing this year.

To kill a mockingbird. I've read it a couple of time with Eve. I know every fucking things there is to know about the book and author.

The bell rang and it was my time to go. I was nervously and evilly excited to go to New York.

In a couple of hours I would get my satisfaction.

Kate met me by my car. Our luggage were in my car. I didn't want to have to go back home and get it.

"Are you ready?" I asked Kate.

Well she was over the moon. Absolute joy. She nodded.

On my perpetual view I saw Tim walking towards me.

"Wait for me here, I'll be right back." I told Kate.

I started walking towards him and met him halfway.

"Tim." I said in greeting. He nodded. "Is there something wrong?"

I knew Harry was in New York and if something had happened he would have told me. I did talk to him late last night.

"No, the Godfather ordered me to drive you to the airport." He firmly said.

"Oh. Okay but my car." I told him looking back.

"I came with Lucas. He'll drive it to the warehouse and you'll get it there when you come back." He informed me. I nodded.

"Okay I-"

"Hello." I groaned when I heard Kate's voice.

I told her to wait for me yet he chose to defy me. She's really testing me.

"Hey." Tim grumbled.

"Aren't you gonna introduce me to your friend, babe?" I was So close to loosing it with Kate.

This was dangerous. Kate was like a cat, very curious and that could kill. I don't need her asking too many questions.

I pinched my eyes shut and counted to five before I opened them.

"Kate this is Tim, Time this is Kate." I deadpanned.

"His girlfriend." She added. I rolled my eyes because that wasn't necessary at all.

"She's coming?" Tim asked surprised. "He didn't say you were coming with someone else?"

"It was last minute." I tried to end the conversation as quick as I could.

"Okay I'll wait in the car for when you're ready." He said and walked away.

I immediately turned to Kate and grabbed her wrist careful not to bruise her.

"When I tell you to do something you do it no questions asked and follow the instructions to the teeth. You understand?" I growled at her.

"Who was that Sage? He looked sort of scary." She stuttered lookinh between me and the car Tim got inside in.
