Living With The Bad Boy

Alex is right, they do look good together i have to admit. But wait…. isn’t he supposed to be Blake’s friend? so why the hell is he not taking sides with his friend.

“You must be wondering why I’m not taking Blake’s side in the matter despite me also being a player”He disrupted my thoughts.

“Um…… yeah…. how did you know that’s what was on my mind?”I asked.

“Cause I’m Alexander Williams…. you don’t need to worry about Zoey, i think she’ll be fine. Boys like Blake and I don’t dwell on one woman so it shouldn’t be much of a surprise to her”He said. For some lame reason, i felt slightly hurt by his last statement.

“Yeah she’ll be fine”Was my dry response.

“Do you mind joining me for a swim?”He asked.

“No, I’m fine, the reason i came here in the first place is to have fun with Zoey and make hee cheer up a little bit, but look, she’s having fun so I’ll just stay back and watch, i really don’t feel like swimming”I said.

“Oh, okay, i understand”He smiled.

Whoa, i didn’t think it’d be that easy to convince him.

Before i know what’s going on, I’m swept off my feet, lying on Alex’s shoulder as he carries me into the water.

“Put me down you punk!”I yelled, hitting his back all to no avail. He didn’t even flinch.

“Put me down moron!”I yelled.

“Of course, my lady”He said and dropped me on the water, laughing out loud.

“You punk! you think this is funny huh”I yelled angrily.

“No it’s not, it’s hilarious”He laughed. I couldn’t help but admire the way he laughed. He looked so young and…… cute?

“Or so it’s hilarious huh, wait till i show you something hilarious”I said as i reached out to him but he swam away.

“Catch me if you can”He laughed as he sailed backwards. I swam towards him, reaching out to him but he kept laughing and swimming away from my reach.

“Moron, just wait till i get you!”I pretended to frown as i swam closer to him. I began to splash water on him, laughing and he also laughed in reciprocation.

We kept splashing water on each other, laughing out our lungs. Everything seemed perfect as the cold water hit my skin continuously. I reached out to Alex, sprinkling water further on him but he caught my hand in his and pulled me to him. He snaked his arms around my waist as his breath fanned my face. Our faces were only a few inches apart with our chests bumping into each other. I stared into his beautiful orbs as i took in his honeydew scent. He pushed back a few strands of hair behind my ear and cupped my cheeks gently as he brought his lips closer to mine. In one single attempt. His lips were smashed against mine and i responded to him immediately, giving him entrance into my mouth as i parted my lips. My body was on full vibration against his touch and he knew just the right thing to do to make me aroused. Our tongues clenched and i deepened the kiss as i couldn’t get enough of him. My fingers  combed behind his soft silky wet hair as i felt the burning steam inside me. I was on fire. His lips were so soft against mine that i couldn’t get enough of him. His hands went to the back strap of my bikini bra, trying to loosing the tied knot.

“Get a room you too”A female voice rang from behind us.

“Perverts”Another yelled and we immediately pulled away from each other catching our breaths. My cheeks flushed in embarrassment as i darted out of the water with Alex calling behind me. I ran over to my umbrella and grabbed my things before making my way to the changing room. I pulled off my soaked bikini and immediately slipped into my clothes.

After changing, i pulled the door open and walked out heading for the car.

“Liv”Alex called as he ran to catch up with me. I walked as fast as my legs could carry me. Just as i was about to get to the car, i was pulled back by Alex.

“I have the keys remember?”He told me and i pushed him away from me immediately as i left the parking area with him running after me, yelling out my name. I ran out trying to stop a taxi all to no avail as they weren’t willing to stop as they drove past me.

“Liv, wait…. where are you going?”He asked as he caught up with me, panting heavily.

“Leave me alone Alex!”I yelled.

“Why? why do you always run away from me whenever things like this happen?”He questioned me. He was now facing me.

“Because this is a mistake, it wasn’t meant to happen”I yelled, trying to stop a taxi.

“A mistake? this is no mistake Liv, i know you like the way i touched you and kissed you”He said.

“Look Alex, it’s best you leave me alone right now”I told him and finally managed to stop a taxi which pulled up in front of me. I immediately got into the taxi without wasting any time.

“Drive”I ordered the taxi driver who nodded. I gave Alex one more glance as the taxi took off.

I arrived about thirty minutes later and paid the taxi driver. I walked up to my front door and immediately inserted the key to the keyhole. I unlocked the door and yanked it open, stepping inside. I shut the door behind me and locked it back as i ran upstairs to my room. I pulled the door open and walked in, slamming the door shut behind me. I tossed my bag on the couch beside my bed and pulled off my slippers as i threw my self on the bed.

There were a lot of emotions swimming inside me. Emotions i never want to feel. My chest was pounding heavily as i remembered the incident at the beach.

Fuck! why did he have to taste so good.

I got up from the bed few minutes later and pulled off my clothes. I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the warm water wash down my pains.

After bathing, i left the bathroom in a towel and then went to my closet. I pulled out a cute cartoon cat pattern love drawstring blue hoodie with with a high waist grey sweatpant. I immediately put it on and dried my hair with my hand drier.

I left the room and went downstairs to the kitchen. I pulled out a left over chocolate cookie from the fridge and began to eat it hurriedly. I threw the wrapper into the trashcan and immediately left the kitchen running back upstairs. Just as i was about getting to my room. I’m yanked back to the wall and i stare at Alex’s blazing eyes which are raking mine.

When did he get here?

“Liv please stop avoiding me, can we just talk?”He pleaded.

“No, I want to be alone please”I said as i tried to push him away but he didn’t bulge.

“Please Liv, I’m sorry i kissed you, if you had rejected the kiss i wouldn’t have pulled through with it but you were, you know…… you didn’t resist so i felt you liked it”He said.

“None of that matters now does it? What’s done has been done and we can’t change it”I told him.

“Please Liv, I’m sorry, i promise i won’t ever do anything of that sort again without asking you for permission”He pleaded.

I knew i kinda gave my consent by reciprocating the kiss but that doesn’t matter since he was the one who made the first move.

“Promise?”I asked for reassurance.

“I promise”He gave me a reassuring smile which i couldn’t resist.

“Okay…. let’s not talk about this again, let’s just act like it never happened”I told him.

“Deal”He said.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I knew the kiss wasn’t a big deal to Alex since he was a pro and mastermind at these kind of stuff but i wasn’t comfortable with having any sexual or emotional attachment to any guy after my ex boyfriend betrayed me. He left me in a miserable state which took me so much time to heal and I was glad that my parents moved us to America just in time. Helping me recover.

I’ve been hiding under that rock hard hearted girl all this while but the truth is that I’m as soft hearted as a puppy.

“What about Zoey and Cade?”I faked, facepalming myself as it downed on me that i didn’t even bid them farewell before leaving the beach. I was took mad at myself to even think of that.

“You don’t have to worry, they understand it all, Cade dropped Zoey off at her place while i came home straight”He said.

“Oh thank goodness, i just hope Zoey won’t be mad at me for leaving without her”I squeaked.

“She won’t”He assured me with a smile.

“Oh damn, i forgot my car at Zoey’s place”I facepalm myself.

“Yeah i have that taken care of. I’ll drive you to school tomorrow while Zoey brings your car to school tomorrow”He explained.

“Oh thanks”I beamed.

“You’re welcome, can we go down and make dinner together, I’m quite hungry”He groaned.

“Oh yeah, let’s go”I said eagerly and we headed downstairs for the kitchen.  When we got to the kitchen, i sat down by the counter, debating on what to prepare while Alex typed away on his face.

“I think we’ll go with meatballs and rice with tomato sauce, what do you think Alex?”I asked.

“Huh?”He flinched. He seemed to be distracted by the device in his hand.

“I said, i think we’ll go with meatballs and rice with tomato sauce, what do you think?”I repeated.

“Oh that’s fine”He said.

“If you can out your phone away, then let’s begin”I told him and he immediately put his phone into his pocket.

I took out the onions, beef, plain white bread, garlic, black pepper, salt, vegetable oil, flour, schwartz oregano, schwartz bay leaves, rice and other ingredients.

I grated the onions and minced the beef while Alex on the other hand soaked the bread with water and added it to the meat mixture. I added the grated onions and schwartz oregano to the sauce.

I baked the meatballs while Alex cooked the rice. It took about 45 minutes before the food was ready. We tidied the kitchen which we had already messed up. I sprinkled the dried schwartz oregano on the food after serving it on our plates as we settled down in dinning, discussing and laughing over our food.

After dinner, i cleared the dishes  and washed them. I came back to the living room where Alex sat down with his eyes fixed on the Tv. I sat down beside him and in no time i drifted off to sleep.
