Cruel Cruel Games Read online

  Well, that’s his business. All I care about now is winning the game and also as crazy as it sounds being with Rachel, I like her a lot and I hope she likes me too. I will not judge her because that’s not what I do. My heart wants her, my soul wants her, and that’s all there is to it.

  I walked out of the door to see Samantha standing there with a smirk on her face. I shook my head, she walked up to me and said, “did something happen in paradise? “I turned to her and said, “wouldn’t you like to know. “She shrugged and said, I think the entire world would like to know. I pushed past her and walked away. I didn’t have time for that all I wanted was to be with Rachel, and once again, I needed to win this game, we needed to win this game.

  Rachel

  I had practiced with the other members of the cheerleading team. Samantha stood at the sidelines, rolling her eyes as usual; I didn’t let it bother me. I was here to take care of business. I got in position and turned to notice Lisa smirking at me. Lisa was a member of the team, but not the leader of the team that role belonged to Kaylee, whom I heard was once a member of the wealthy girls crew, but now she works alone. I didn’t understand the dynamics of it all, but I guess it because her boyfriend had graduated, so she needed a Rich guy by her side to be considered a member of the team who knows.

  I started my routine and tried to stay focused.

  As I danced, I stumbled a little, but I got back in shape. I screwed up, and the coach smiled at me. I guess I was doing it right. Samantha just kept staring at me for that arms and made a face, but I ignored her and continued, but then something unexpected happened. Kaylee fell hard on the floor.

  She’s treating said, “oh my God I wasn’t expecting this. Oh my God and with that, she tumbled to the floor, the coach hurried towards her.

  Coach held her hand and said, “Oh, no Kaylee looks like you sprained your ankle.”

  Horrified, Kaylee had tears in her eyes.

  She looked at me, and she turned to the other members of the cheerleading team.

  Kaylee shook her head and said, “Does that mean I am no longer a member of the team?”

  She burst out crying, I felt for her but there was nothing I could do.

  Moments later, the medical team rushed towards her, and carried her off the field.

  The coach then looked at me and said, “why don’t you take over today session and then maybe you’d all get better before the finals and before the big game. Yes, we had two events in one day we had to be the best cheerleading team to lead football guys to victory but that was a lot of pressure on us.”

  I didn’t mind the pressure, but with all that’s gone on lately, I felt something must be wrong.

  So, I took over and motivated the other members of the team.

  They all nodded and said they were with me all except Samantha, Lisa and Lauren.

  Samantha was called in because Kaylee was out.

  She frowned but worked with the routine.

  Everything was going great without Kaylee when Samantha turned to me and said in a low voice, “you little slut. You cheap slut. You were just a freaking bet between the guys, bet you didn’t know, did you?”

  And with that, I stumbled and had to take a break.

  I turned to her and asked, “what are you talking about?”

  She laughed wickedly and said, “little wonder they think you are the best because you fuck everyone. You are a stray, and thats why they just used and dumped you.”

  I shook my head thinking what was she talking about?

  Next thing I knew the rich girls started cursing me out through practice.

  They didn’t stop there too.

  The next day on back at practice they continued their Taunts.

  They called me Miss slutty face.

  They said you’re the reason the boys are out there fighting.

  I said, “what are you talking about, Samantha?”

  She ignored me and turned to the other students.

  Then she said, “she’s the reason the hot guys don’t speak to each other right now.”

  She hinted at the fact that Noah and Connor fought Guzman because they were jealous of the fact that Guzman and I had gotten together. But then she turned and said, “she made the boys jealous because she fucked Guzman and not the others.

  Everyone shook their heads.

  I figured they wouldn’t speak to me anymore. Noah, Guzman, and Connor seemed to ignore me; it’s as though they agreed between them not to talk to me until after the tournament.

  When I said hello, they ignored me. I hurried to find Guzman and Noah. I said hi, but

  they ignored my words did not like you were talking to each other, but they told me, “we’re busy we have to go.”

  I couldn’t tell if you had to go because they wanted to be away from me all because of the tournament at hand. But whatever he wasn’t hurt, and I made me break down in tears.

  I looked up and noticed the coach looking my way.

  He looked at me and said, “Is everything all right, Rachel?”

  I nodded.

  He said good let’s get to practice. But when we walked out I was a mess, I tried to practice but couldn’t. Their words hurt oh yes it did and there is no stopping their evil ways, no matter how hard I tried.

  I was falling apart.

  Chapter Ten

  Rachel

  I wished I hadn’t promised the coach I’d be able to lead the team to victory.

  It seemed like a weight on my shoulders, but there was nothing I could do about it. And with each passing day, mom got weaker and weaker. I knew I had no choice but to get this done. I needed to graduate. I browsed the elite university’s website and noticed they had excellent health care insurance which includes health care for parents. I figured wow I had to get it. I did. So, I focused, at night, I worked on my routine, and in the day I practiced with the team. I chose not to let Samantha’s taunts get the best of me. I planned on staying strong. Tough times happen to everyone, but then you have to get back up and focus.

  At least this is what I believed. I focused on what needed to be done.

  The principal noticed too.

  I was no longer called into the principal’s office for one thing or the other, instead the principal surprised me by saying she’d recommend me to the university.

  I smiled and thanked her. But then there were doubtful moments.

  It turned out we had one more game before the finals, and the coach didn’t know about it.

  He said," Rachel, can you do this, can you lead the team tomorrow?"

  I gasped, inhaled, and exhaled. Nervous yet determined, I said, “Yes, I can.”

  The coached sighed and said, “I knew you would do it. I know this got sprung on you at the last minute, but I trust you. Based on what I have noticed in the past few days you have with, it takes to lead the team to victory. Well, see you tomorrow. I nodded even though, and I was unsure if I could meet expectations.

  I decided I had the determination to make it happen. Samantha, Lisa, and the others said they were not certain I could do it. I ignored them and prepared for the following day.

  The next day at the tournament, I turned and noticed the guys Noah and the others getting ready to play. They smiled at me and looked straight ahead. The games began and the cheerleading competition started; I danced and led the team, but then something happened, the boys lost focus and they lost control of the ball. To put it mildly, they played poorly; it was abysmal. We didn’t fare better either. Honestly, we sucked.

  When it was all over, the guys lost by 30 points.

  I watched as Noah set his helmet down on the ground dejected. Sweat bead ran down his face to the floor.

  He turned and looked at me with saddened eyes. That’s the moment a video played nearby that cut the attention of the students. Luckily the visiting team did not see it. I turned and looked in horror as the video of Guzman, and I having sex played for all to see.

  Angrily Guzman grabbed the video from Sam
antha, who laughed wickedly. He turned to me and shook his head, trying to tell me he had nothing to do with it. But then the damage was done, I was out of the running, and the boys had lost their game, which meant none of us would get the chance to attend Barton Woods elite university, let alone get a scholarship to go there.

  I turned to Guzman he looked sad and then I turned around and hurried away.

  Noah stood in my way and tried to stop me from leaving, but I pushed him aside, Connor moved closer. I walked past him and got into a shared ride and went on home. I wanted to be done with school forever. I figured there’s no way they would want me back.

  “It’s done,” I told mom.

  She placed the oxygen mask on her face took in some air and shook her head.

  Then she said why don’t you rest a little. you’d get some clarity once you get some rest.

  I nodded and wrapped my hands around my mother’s shoulders.

  I figured our loss was meant to be or it wouldn’t have happened?

  They guys video called me later on that day.

  At first, I was reluctant to pick up their call, but eventually, I did. I looked away and avoided looking directly at the device. Noah was the first to speak.

  He said, “Listen, I understand if you don’t want to talk to us, but we had nothing to do with it.”

  I closed the door because I didn’t want my mom listening in on my conversation. I said, “how could I be so sure you had nothing to do with this.”

  That’s the moment Guzman moved forward.

  He grabbed the device from Noah, who chuckled and said, “Hey watch it, mister.”

  Their actions made me laugh. Guzman said, “babe you have to believe us, I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you in a billion years, none of us would do that? I am sorry that happened. I don’t understand how she got that video she must have planted it on me or something.”

  I stared directly at him and raised an eyebrow. Amused by my reaction, he chuckled and said, “you must believe me; it’s the truth.”

  I swallowed and asked, “why should I believe you had nothing to do with It?”

  Guzman made a sad face. Then he said, “Babe, can you see my sad face? Listen, let’s make it up to you.”

  I shook my head and said, “Hey it's the weekend, I want to relax plus I need to nurse my wounds. Thanks to today’s’ craziness, I wouldn’t attend Barton woods university. They asked if I wanted to go out. I told them not tonight. Connor took over from Guzman and pursed his lips. He then said, “okay fine, we wouldn’t force you to do what you don’t want to do, but just in case you change your mind. Let us know.”

  “Thanks, guys but I doubt I’d be changing my mind tonight,” I said.

  I remained guarded about their intentions. I didn’t even know how I’d show my face in school now that the whole school has my face plastered all over their cell phones.

  Guzman assured me though that he got the video from Samantha and there are no other copies. I thanked him, but I wondered if it was true or not. For all, they know Samantha might have kept another copy somewhere else. I decided to. Spend the evening taking care of Mom. But then right after the guys hung up, the coach called. He apologized and said, “Even though it looks grim he had some good news, there was still an opportunity with the final competition.”

  Shocked, I asked him, “What? The game’s still on?”

  He said yes the committee moved it a few days ahead, but it’d still hold.

  I was happy to hear it. I called the guys to tell them the good news. They laughed and said, “yeah coach already told us.”

  I laughed and said, “It figures he would tell you, but I wondered if he did.”

  They laughed and then Noah asked, “So what do you say? Are you interested in going out with us?”

  I said, “Hell yeah, let’s do it.”

  “Great we’ll pick you up.”

  And with that they hung up. I walked out of my room to meet Mom.

  She said, “I know you are going out with the guys. You know what I said, again no babies in my house.”

  I laughed and said, “No mom, no babies. But we are going to celebrate. We just got another chance.”

  Mom said, ‘That’s great honey but you have to stay safe, okay? I trust you, and I know you’d do what’s right but be back by eight tonight.”

  I promised her I would.

  Then I slid on a pair of jeans and a white tee. Moments later, I heard a knock on the door. It was Noah. He greeted mom warmly she kept a straight face and laid down the law. No messing around with my daughter, understood? He nodded and led me out the door to the awaiting car.

  Noah got behind the wheel, while I sat between Guzman and Connor.

  Guzman said, “you look stunning! Great to have you as our date tonight.”

  I blushed. Wow they are calling this a date. Interesting. They all cleaned up nice. They were all chilled perfection; I turned to Connor and admired his sleeve tattoos. I guess I didn’t get to see them at school because the guys all wore long jackets at school.

  I asked where we were headed. They said it was a surprise. And with that Noah took control of the wheel and started driving.

  Chapter Eleven

  Rachel

  We drove to the exclusive club; I’d no idea Noah, Connor, and Guzman had the dance moves down. Wow to say they impressed me is putting it lightly. Noah held my hand and spun me around the dance floor.

  Noah moved closer to me and held me close. He wrapped his firm muscle field biceps around me. I melted it on to him. My nipples tightened, Pushed up on his firm chest. Oh my God, It felt as though we were one. That’s not all the guys all smelled terrific like lavender.

  I took him his masculine mask and looked into his eyes as he looked back at me too. For a moment there, I had completely forgotten about everything else that worried my mind. Noah then said, “I could do this all day with you. “

  I smiled and said, “I could do too. And then as though we got caught in the moment, he tilted my head and kissed my lips, and that’s when we heard Connor cough. We pulled back. Connor grinned mischievously

  He looked at Noah and said, “it’s my turn now.” Noah said, “sure.” I watch as Noah walked away. Then I turn my attention to Connor. I noticed a tattoo peeking out from his neckline. I asked him if he just got it done.

  He laughed and said “No it's a full back tattoo. When you get to see it, it’d surprise you. “

  He said in a firm voice. It wasn’t a maybe, no It was inevitable that something would happen between us. I can’t lie the guys turned me on. I built this tough exterior I mean would it be crazy to want three guys, plus is that even possible.

  I remembered what the tattoo artist Said that there there’s nothing wrong with it if everyone feels the same way, then why not go for it right?

  Judging by how they took turns and dance with me, I knew they felt the same way. I started dancing freely, as though entranced by the music. I slid my arms around Noah’s neck.

  He placed his hands on my hips with dance clothes; it was almost like a dirty side of the dance, but it was sensual like we both wanted this. And then I moved onto Connor, and he was magnificent who told me around to my back pressed up against him and then I turned and looked at Guzman standing there waiting for his turn.

  And of course, I wrapped my hands around his neck too. Soon the music ended, I wondered what was coming up next. That’s The moment Guzman said to Noah, “Hey, why don’t we go have some fun on your dad’s yacht?”

  Noah laughed and said, “I doubt if we ask, my dad will let us get on it today. He still mad at me for losing the game. Because we never lose, we always win it’s what we do. “

  “Still it wouldn’t hurt to ask right?”

  Noah smiled and said, “No need to ask Dads off doing with he does this time of the year boat racing with his peers, so the super yacht is ours for the night if we want to use it.”

  He turned to me and asked, “Would you like to see it?”
<
br />   I smiled and said, “Sure.”

  I wanted to see this super yacht, and besides, we’d only be there for a little while at least, that’s what the guys promised.

  We drove over to the location of the Great yacht. It was a stunning beauty. It was a huge, 590 ft beauty, and it came fully staffed too.

  It turned out except for the staff we were alone on the boat. It was a beautiful night; the stars were out. Connor picked up the karaoke machine’s microphone and started singing. I was pleasantly surprised to hear him sing. Wow, he had a singing voice that appeared sent from the gods. He was perfect. I clapped while the others pushed him around. Noah took the microphone from his hand and started purring while staring directly at me with his hypnotic eyes. I blushed and looked away, but then Guzman grabbed the microphone from him and then he sang, “Lord she’s making me desire her! I want only you baby!”

  I bit my lower lip and smiled. I waved my hands in the air as they sang. Not tube outdone Guzman grabbed the microphone out of Noah’s hands, he grabbed my hand, and we danced like there was no tomorrow. He pulled me close. I felt his nature rising, pushing up against my thigh.

  I wrapped my fingers around his girth surprised by his size. He groaned and hissed in pleasure. He cupped my face and kissed my lips. I kissed him back. Then he slid his lips off and whispered into my ears, “Can I please you?”

  Stunned yet intrigued by his question, I said, “Yes. Please.” He smiled and then he intertwined his fingers in mine and led me to the private cabin. He slid me down to the bed, and gently slid my top over my head letting the fabric cascade down to the floor. He slid on the bed and began kissing my lips, his kisses were passion filled. His fingers slid between my thighs. He said he wanted to taste me, “Would you like that?” He asked.

  I nodded and watched as he slid down between my legs and as crazy it sounds, slid my jeans pants off and smiled once he noticed my Lacey fabric.

  “Nice… not the polka dot one, god you are beautiful.”

  I blushed and before I could say another word, he planted kisses on my belly and down my intimate curls to my wet folds. The moment his lips met my soaked nub, I moaned in pleasure and captured fistfuls of his hair in my hands.
