You Only Belong To Me
Episode 1
Leila pèrez
21
College girl
I have rules. Dating? Out of the question. One night stands? That's my specialty. That is, until an unexpected game of spin the bottle lands me face-to-face with Aiden Pierce, Redfield's basketball team captain. Aiden is captivating, talented and persistent and he slowly chips away at my defences until we strike a deal. No strings attached and absolute secrecy. It was supposed to be uncomplicated, but the more time I spend with him, the harder it becomes to remember why we can't be together.
Aiden Pierce

College basketball captain
This was never part of the plan. Leila Pérez is tempting, assertive and unattainable. And after one hot night that has etched itself in my mind, leaving me craving more, we made an arrangement. Keep it physical and don't catch feelings. But the more Is ......
As much as I love a man on his knees, this isn’t exactly what I had in mind.
Leila Pérez
*notice the green liquid dripping off his jacket*
Leila Pérez
*hand flies to her mouth, eyes widening*
I see the aftermath of my bad decision from last night.
Leila Pérez
I’m so sorry. *crouch down, extending a hand to the man on the ground, cursing at herself, the world, and smoothies*
someone
*shakes her hand off, glowering at her*
someone
Just drop it. *shaking off the spilled drink from his t-shit*
someone
I’ll get up on my own. * lifts off the ground, staring down at this drenched t-shirt*
Leila Pérez
I really am sorry.
I attempt to smooth over this situation, but the way he scowls at me lets me know nothing I do can rectify this, especially when he curses at me before walking off.
Rosie (Leila best friend)
What just happened? 📱
Leila Pérez
* hear Rosie’s voice coming from her phone, clutched in her hand beside her phone*
Leila Pérez
*exhale, letting her eyes close*
Leila Pérez
I'm a disaster this morning. 📱

Leila Pérez
I'm a disaster this morning. 📱
Rosie (Leila best friend)
Fill me in 📱
Rosie (Leila best friend)
I heard a bunch of grunts and cursing 📱
The spilled drink on the ground brings a sigh out of me as I head towards the classroom
Leila Pérez
I wasn't looking where I was going, is what happened. 📱 *let out a breath*
Leila Pérez
Bumped into some guy; he fell over; I died of embarrassment. The end. 📱 *let out a sigh*
Rosie (Leila best friend)
That's the last time I hook up at a party 📱
Leila Pérez
Fine, it's the last time I leave so late 📱
Rosie (Leila best friend)
Who did you leave with? 📱
Leila Pérez
*chew on her bottom lip* Some jock 📱
Rosie (Leila best friend)
Nice name 📱
Rosie (Leila best friend)
Has a ring to it. 💭
Leila Pérez
*let out a laugh*
Leila Pérez
If only I had snuck out a little earlier, I wouldn't be in this mess 💭
Leila Pérez
I can't believe I forgot to turn my alarm on 📱 *walk a little faster, pulling her phone away from her ear to check the time*
Leila Pérez
Now I'm late, and I lost my green smoothie. 📱
Rosie (Leila best friend)
You still went to get a smoothie when you're late? 📱
Leila Pérez
I need all the energy I can get if I'm going to be bored to death for an hour. 📱
Rosie (Leila best friend)
*laugh*
Rosie (Leila best friend)
So dramatic. Is it really that bad? 💭
Leila Pérez
Remind me again why I haven't dropped out? 📱
Rosie (Leila best friend)
Your mom would kill you? 📱
Leila Pérez
Right. Well, it's not like my mom doesn't have another daughter she prefers, anyway. 💭
Leila Pérez
And I care because? 📱
Rosie (Leila best friend)
Because even if you try to not let it affect you, you know you care about what she thinks 📱
Leila Pérez
Well, damn. She's right again. 💭
Rosie (Leila best friend)
Are you sure you want to go down the designer route? 📱
Leila Pérez
You'd be a good therapist. 📱
My shoulders drop when I I see the door to my impending boredom.
Rosie (Leila best friend)
Of course I would, but then who would dress you? 📱
Leila Pérez
*snicker, reaching for the door handle*
Leila Pérez
I've got to go; I'm about to go in. 📱
Rosie (Leila best friend)
Have fun. 📱
The line goes dead, and I pocket my phone. My breath shortens before I take the plunge and pull the door open, heading inside.
The room quiets when over 50 heads turn to look at me. This, right here, makes me want to die.
Their eyes on me feel like a huge spotlight of judgment. You would think with my line of work, I'd be used to the attention, but I'm not.
My confidence slips a little, the roaring in my stomach an indication of the anxiety brewing inside of me.
Professor Wilson
Leila. I see you don't value my time
Professor Wilson says, making the spotlight on me even brighter.
Leila Pérez
*swallow, blink, and slip her mask back on, squaring her shoulders and give him a smile*
Leila Pérez
Sorry, sir. Won't happen again
Professor Wilson
Doubt that
Leila Pérez
*eyes drop, seeing Jordan Wright sitting at the table closest to the door*
He doesn't look my way, though. He never does.
The one and only person I can stand in this class, Mia-who happens to be sitting near him-shoots me a smile and calls me over. I take a seat next to her, placing my bag on the floor.
Mia
Where were you? *whispers, nudging her on the shoulder when the professor turns back around*
Leila Pérez
Forgot to set my alarm. *offer with a shrug*
Mia
*With a smile on her lips, she shakes her head*
Probably knowing there's more to the story.
Professor Wilson
Having a great product isn't always the end result
Leila Pérez
*look her professor*
Professor Wilson
Marketing is the main focal point of any business.
Professor Wilson
You could have the best product in the world, but no one would know if you didn't market it.
Yeah, I've heard it all before. It would be easier to figure out what exactly I preferred over business, but there in lies the problem.
I've always admired my dad running a business. It seemed so cool when I was younger, but then my mom got me into modeling, and that became my life.
She stopped pushing me into modeling once I had gone through puberty and gained a lot of extra pounds that made me inadequate for the modeling she wanted.
Modeling was fun and I loved dressing up and posing for the camera; so I didn't give up. I found a plus-size modeling agency and haven't looked back since.
But by then, my mom had already made up that I wouldn't go anywhere if I didn't lose weight, so she pushed a college degree on me.
I didn't mind it, I could do both, but the problem was, I didn't know what I wanted to do once I got here, so I settled on something I already had knowledge of. Business. Too bad it's a bore.
Professor Wilson
The papers on the end of the table have the assignment on them
Mia
*reaches for the papers on her end, handing one to Leila and Jordan*
She hands one to the guy sitting next to her, Toby... something. She tucks her straight hair behind her ear, smiling at him when she hands him the assignment.
Leila Pérez
Hm, little Mia has a crush. 💭
Leila Pérez
New boyfriend? *tease, dropping her voice so only she hears*
Leila Pérez
I could smell the sexual tension from here.
She shushes me, a small laugh escaping her while she stuffs the assignment in her bag. When the door opens, everyone's head turns to the noise.
Redfield's basketball captain.
I grew up watching basketball.
Every Sunday, when my dad was home, we'd sit on the couch and watch the game while he snuck me some alfajores from his food truck. My mom would have slapped me on the back of my head if she caught me eating them.
And when I came here, the tradition still stood. Even though I couldn't be with my dad on Sundays, I would still attend every basketball game I could, which means I've watched Aiden play. A lot.
And as much as I don't like admitting it, he's good, like really fucking good.
It could be an advantage because the guy is as tall as hell, but it's not; he has skill. I can appreciate that.
But what I'm not a fan of? How everyone treats him like he's a God around here.
Girls fall at his feet, fanning themselves whenever he's near, and he eats it up; of course he does.
A guy like that can get any girl he wants with a snap of his finger.
Professor Wilson
Aiden *sighed*
Professor Wilson
Class started thirty minutes ago
Aiden Pierce
I had early practice this morning. It ran over.
Professor Wilson
*sighs again and turns back around*
Add that to the list of things I'm not particularly fond of.
Leila Pérez
He gets special treatment. 💭
Professor Wilson
We've already assigned assignments
Professor Wilson
Grab one from the table closest to you.
Leila Pérez
Which would make it mine. 💭
episode 3
Aiden Pierce
*sits beside Jordan, grabbing the piece of paper Mia hands over to him*
Aiden Pierce
*winks at her and stuffs it in his bag*
Jordan
We didn't have practice this morning *whispered*
Aiden Pierce
He doesn't know that.
Leila Pérez
A liar too. How the list keeps expanding 💭
Leila Pérez
*scoff escapes from her mouth*
Leila Pérez
*skin burns under the examination of his blue eyes burning into her*
Leila Pérez
It's not fair. He can't be tall, talented, and attractive. Pick one. 💭
Leila Pérez
Seeing as our best friends are dating, you'd expect us to have met before, but that hasn't happened yet. 💭
Aiden Pierce
*corner of his lips tips up in a smirk*
Leila Pérez
*eyes drift to them*
Leila Pérez
Good lips too. Asshole. 💭
Leila Pérez
*lift an eyebrow at him*
Leila Pérez
Do I know you?
Aiden Pierce
You're Rosie's friend, right?
Aiden Pierce
*smiles, leaning forward on the table*
Aiden Pierce
She's told me about you
Leila Pérez
Unfortunately, I can't say the same.
Aiden Pierce
What's with the hostility? Did I do something?
Leila Pérez
I'm sorry. Did you want me to get on my knees and bow for you?
Aiden Pierce
*tongue darts out to trace his bottom lip*
Aiden Pierce
*lets out a low laugh*
Leila Pérez
*roll her eyes*
Professor Wilson
The assignment is due in two weeks ,I expect you all to put in the work.
Professor Wilson
Class dismissed. *leave the class*
Leila Pérez
*pick up her bag, stuff the paper inside, and push the door open*
Leila Pérez
*reach for her phone to meet up with Rosie, but a familiar, annoying voice stops her*
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
You've been avoiding me.
Leila Pérez
*lift her head, seeing her roommate*
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
*arms crossed as she looks at Leila*
Leila Pérez
The lack of my smoothie is really taking its toll on me. I don't have the energy to deal with this today. 💭
Leila Pérez
I've been busy.
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
Your plants are all dead
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
You haven't been over all week, and they're not mine to take care of. Where the hell have you been sleeping?
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
*face contorts, judgment and disgust painted all over it*
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
Sleeping around for a bed?
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
really ?
Leila Pérez
I'd be used to the judgment from her already when she has said so many more degrading things before, but the shock is still there 💭
Leila Pérez
I don't have time for this. *try to push past her*
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
*stop her*
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
If you're not coming back, I need your room.
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
For my stuff. It's hard living from one dresser.
Leila Pérez
Oh, the travesty
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
And your clothes take up so much space
Leila Pérez
i really want to punch her really badly Just a little. 💭
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
Can you do it?
Leila Pérez
I don't even know what she's talking about; I just want to get rid of her. 💭
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
Move out.
Leila Pérez
Move out? Lord knows I want to, but I pay for that room. Granted, I barely use it anymore, but I can't crash at Gabi and Madi's forever. 💭
Leila Pérez
Where am I going to go, Tiffany?
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
With those friends of yours. Or you could ask for a transfer.
Leila Pérez
Trust me. I've tried.
Leila Pérez
No one wants to switch, and there are no available rooms left, which means either I move out or I'm stuck with her. 💭
Tiffany(Leila roommate)
I don't care what you do; just do it. Honestly, the quicker, the better.
Leila Pérez
Like that's an option. 💭
Leila Pérez
I've got to go. *push past her and pull up her phone, texting the girls*
Leila Pérez
Guess I need to find a new place to stay. 💭
