Chapter Twenty Two

 Hi guys!(: First off I want to thank you guys for all of the constant support you guys have given me. It honestly makes my day and I'm just so happy you guys are liking the book! That being said..here's chapter Twenty Two :)

-------------------

Minerva Mirabal always longed for independence. She craved a sense of individuality and liberation that was unconventional during the early and late 1900s. Minerva said, "It's about time we women had a voice in running our country" (1.1.65). In 1938, Minerva saw a connection between herself and a caged bunny. She quickly dismissed that thought when the bunny refused to leave her cage, even when given the opportunity to be free...

I stop writing as I feel arms wrap around my waist from behind me as Blake's chin rests on my shoulder, nuzzling his face in my neck

 "Blakee" I whine as I squirm under his hold, his nose tickling me 

"Angelaa" he mocks chuckling

Awww..this is such an adorable moment... 

Am I really going to ruin it?

"Blake stop," I say keeping my tone serious and face void of any emotion

He groans from behind me as he reluctantly let's go 

Okay, good

I start typing once again hoping I could be able to finish this essay by the end of the day when suddenly Blake snatches the computer away from me

My eyes widen as does my mouth as I stare up at him in a pout while he puts the laptop onto the table 

"Hey, give it back" I whine 

Ignoring my plea, he comes back to me, positioning his knees on the ground as his grey eyes lock with my brown ones

"How long til you stop being mad at me mi amor?" He asks reaching his hand to cup my cheeks

"Until you apologize to Mason"

He growls, removing his hand from me as he narrows his eyes on me

"I will do no such thing"

"Then I guess I won't be forgiving you," I say nonchalantly shrugging my shoulders 

 I try to get up to get my laptop, but Blake had other plans as he pushed me back onto the chair and groans running a hand through his hair

"Tell me why and him being your 'friend' won't cut it" He said agitated as his face grew  cold

"Maybe because you broke his jaw?!" I exclaim staring at him in disbelief while he looks back at me bored

"Not good enough" 

"What do you mean not good enough?" I ask in incredulity

"I'm not going to apologize for breaking his jaw. If anything, he should thank me" He said seriously  

"Thank you for what?" I question 

"For not actually killing him" 

"BLAKE" I scream as I stare at him in horror while he just raises an eyebrow at my expression

"I went easy on the bastardo. It took all my will power not to strangle him there and then" Blake says with gritted teeth, his face turning stone cold 

I narrow my eyes on him not liking his violence

He looks at me and rolls his eyes at my facial expression before grabbing my face with his hands rubbing his thumb on my bottom lip

"But I didn't" he finished 

"You know what else you didn't do?" I asked sweetly smiling at him catching him off guard with the difference of my tone

"What's that mi amor?"

"Apologize" I deadpan giving him a straight face only for him to give me that annoyed "seriously?" look

"sei così dannatamente irritante" he mumbled under his breath 

translation: you are so damn infuriating

"What was that?" I piqued daring him to try me

"Just saying how much I adore you mi amor" He said giving me a sarcastic smile 

"mmhmm that's what I thought"

---------------------

"Are you certain?" I asked looking up at Taylor who was leaning on the bathroom mirror reapplying her lipgloss

"100% I saw them eye-fucking each other in the hallways and then later in class, he 'conveniently' forgot his notes and she 'conveniently' didn't" she finished up putting her lipgloss away and turning towards me with a smirk

Currently, Taylor was feeding me the latest gossip and today it was all concerning Mike and Raine.

 I've talked to Raine here and there. She's an absolute sweetheart. More on the shy side as she really doesn't speak much. Mike, on the other hand, is the captain of the lacrosse team. Very charming but has a bit of an ego

Match made in heaven don't ya think?

We hear the bell ring signifying it's next period as we walk out of the bathroom  and head to our class

I'm hoping I see Mason in Physics so that I could see if he's alright

I head to physics immediately looking around for Mason and see him sitting in his normal seat typing away on his phone

I head over to him suddenly feeling nervous

what if he's mad at me? Or puts the blame on me? Or hates me now?

Stop overthinking!

 I take a deep breath as I sit down to the seat beside him

"Hey" I say shyly smiling unsurely at him

He looks up from his phone and that's where I see a huge cut in his forehead and a large bruise on his jaw

oh God..I feel horrible

"Hey darling" he replied giving me a lazy smile

Phew...okay so far so good

"Mason...I'm so sorry," I say looking into his eyes hoping he could see my remorse and shame for the situation

"You need to stop apologizing for that dick. He's the one that did it. Not you" He said firmly 

"So...you're not mad at me?" I ask fidgeting with my thumbs 

"I don't think it's possible for me to get upset with you" he smirked at me

"Well..actually you did get very mad at me when I told you Blake and I kissed," I said matter of factly remembering that incident

He narrowed his eyes on me playfully, "Alright fine, I can get mad at you. Happy?" 

"Ecstatic" I tease causing him to chuckle making me break out into a full-blown grin

I couldn't help it. I'm so happy that he and I are in good terms and nothing feels weird

Everything finally feels in place I thought smiling to my self
