Lost in the Moment (A Savioe Family Novel) Read Free

possess them. If my jackass of a little brother thinks I’m into girls then chances are most of the school does too, which just lowers my chances even more of ever being with the guy of my dreams.
    That dreamy hunk of man-crack is Marcus Dresden and he is everything I’ve been warned to stay away from. He has a bigger chip on his shoulder than I do. He walks the halls like he owns them, even the teachers and security guards move out of his way. The rumors about him ranged from he got a girl pregnant last year and forced her to abort it, to he moved here because he just got out of juvy for putting a kid in the hospital. He’s a bad boy through and through. The type that you know could break your heart into a million pieces, give you the best time of your life in the process and make you beg for more when he’d had his fill. The best part of it all is his accent. He sounds like a mix of Jude Law and the blonde vampire from the old show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Every time I hear him speak, my knees would go weak and my heart raced.
    “Marie, seriously why are you dressing like that?” Charles asked as he jumped out of the truck fixing his baseball cap.
    I sighed and climbed out of the backseat. These jeans are tighter than I thought they would be . I stood by the door and took a few minutes to adjust the material around the legs. I glared at him as he held up his hands impatient for an answer. “Cause I wan’ ta, Jackass.” I headed over to the steps to the bus loading area after smacking him on the back of the head.
    He quickly followed me rubbing the back of his head and exclaimed. “Dit mon la verite!”
    I rolled my eyes and barked at him. “I told ya da truth. I wan’ ta dress like dis ya fool. I’m not doin’ dis fo’ anyone but me.”
    He held up his hands in surrender. “ Alright! Geez, chill the hell out. I was just curious. You don’t have to bite my head off.”
    We entered the lunchroom or commons as they call it here and went to our normal table by the teacher’s lounge. He set his backpack on the table and went off to stand in line for breakfast. I sat down facing the doors. Luke quietly took a seat next to me placing his motorcycle helmet on the table in front of us. He looked so pathetic. He hadn’t spoken more than a few words to any of us since he was given the boot by Mr. Saintshill. His short dark brown hair laid flat on his head and dark circles encompassed his light blue eyes. In all honesty, it looked like he hadn’t slept since then either.
    I nudged him with my elbow. “Beau heard from Jess this morning that Roxy will be in school today. So cheer up, frère, you still get to see her.”
    He tried to smile at me when Beau took a seat in front of us. “That’s a relief. I thought her dad would send her away.” Luke released a deep breath and tilted his head back.
    “Hey. I talked to Drez a few minutes ago. He agreed to ta ke Roxy to Frank’s for lunch so you guys can spend time together outside of school walls.” Beau informed us.
    I wrinkled my forehead trying to place the name. “Drez? Which one is that?”
    Beau gave me a look that screamed ‘Are you serious?’ “You know Marcus Dresden.”
    My heart sped up at the mention of his name. He was going to lunch with us? I tried to calm the erratic thumping in my chest. I get to spend time around my fallen angel, get to see that mane of dark dirty blonde hair up close, the sexy tattoo that he sported and stare at that face that not even God could have created without help. My fingernails dug into my palm as I tried to contain my giddiness over it all.
    Someone cleared their throat beside us. We turned our heads to see the Vice Principal and a security guard standing behind her. “Mr. Lucien Savioe. Grab your things and come with me. We have been informed by a concerned parent regarding your proximity to his daughter. It has been agreed that in the best interest for the student body you will not be allowed to socialize with her
