Living With The Bad Boy

After cleaning the mess I made, I washed myself and then left the bathroom. I changed into a pair of pink pyjamas. I left the room and went downstairs to the living room where Alex was still seated with his legs crossed on the couch.

I walked over to where he was and he turned his gaze at me, following each of my movements as i approached him.

“Liv I-“I pounced on him immediately and began to hit him. I was beyond angry at how he made me embarrass myself.

“Asshole, are you happy now, see how you embarrassed me!”I yelled as I continued hitting him. Well I thought I had the upper hand until he flipped me over on the couch with him now on top of me.

“Hey get off me fatso!”I squeaked.

“Fatso?”He gasped.

“Get off me Fatso!”I attempted to tell but instead it came out as a pout.

“I’m not fat! Take that back”He commanded.

“Never…… Fatso”I teased. I was enjoying this way more than I thought I would. Just the look on Alex’s pretty face gave me the satisfaction I needed.

Of course he isn’t fat but he has all those muscles making him so big against my tiny self.

“Call me that one more time and I’ll……”

“Fatso”

“You didn’t just call me that!”He feigned surprise.

“Fatso…. fatso…. fatso”I sang.

“I’m warning you Liv, I’ll murder you here”If I didn’t know better, I’d have thought he was hurt but Alexander Williams can never be hurt, he’s a self centered moron.

“Fatso”I teased.

“Call me that one more time and I’ll tickle the flesh out of your bony skin”

“You wouldn’t dare”I gasped.

“Try me”He smirked.

“Fat….”Just before I could complete the words, the doorbell rang.

“Who the fuck could that be”Alex groaned as he came off me. I stood up beside him staring blankly at him.

“Are you expecting a visitor?”I questioned.

“If I was, would I have asked who the fuck it is?”He scowled.

“Then who could it be?”I asked.

“Why are you asking me, go and ask the person”He sat down back on the couch.

“Fuck you”I said as I made my way to the door.

“Soon baby”I heard him say in response.

I pulled the door open, not bothering to check who it was.

“Blake?”I asked, staring at the blonde boy standing in front of the door. He looked like something from a horror movie. His hair was all over the place. His clothes were torn with blonde stains, his hands were bruised and he had a cut on his lips with a huge purple bruise on his eye.

“What happened to you?”I questioned as I took in his appearance.

“I got into a fight with a few people, it’s nothing”He said.

“And they beat you up like this?”I asked.

“It’s nothing, I deserve it”He said and I didn’t argue.

He actually deserves it.

“Liv…. can I talk to you?”He asked. All the anger I felt towards him were taken over by pity and worry.

“Come in”I told him as I stepped away from the door, paving way for him to enter the house. I shut the door behind him as we went into the living room.

“Holy shit! who did this to you”Alex exclaimed as we approached him. He stood up immediately as he took in Blake’s appearance.

“Alex I think he should freshen up first before we interrogate him”I told Alex.

“Of course, come on man”Alex said and let him upstairs to his room while I waited on the couch.

After about twenty minutes, they came back downstairs. Blake was now dressed in one of Alex’s black t-shirt and grey sweatpants.

“Hey guys, I’ll make something for us to eat”I stood up and they both nodded in response as I left for the kitchen.

I opened the cupboard and took out a few spices. I turned on the gas cooker and set the pan on fire as I prepared noodles.

After about ten minutes, I served the hot plates of noodles on the dinning. I went back to the living room where Alex and Blake were busy discussing.

“Hey guy… um… I made noodles”I informed them.

“Okay, we’ll be with you shortly”Alex told me and I nodded in response as I turned back and left for the kitchen. I cleaned up the mess I made while cooking and washed the dirty dishes. I went back to the dinning and settled down, waiting for them both.

After a few minutes them came to the dinning. Alex sat beside me while Blake sat down on the other side of the table.

“Took you guys long enough”I commented as I took out my fork.

“Sorry…. we were talking about something”Blake said and I decided to keep quiet. I didn’t wanna discuss anything to ruin the perfect dinner I was having.

“This tastes amazing”Alex complimented. I could tell he only said that to lighten up the mood. The noodles didn’t even taste that good. I’m not much of a chef when it comes to noodle making.

“Thanks”I simply said as I took a bite of my chicken.

The rest of the meal was eaten in awkward silence as no one knew what to even say. I was somewhat glad.

After eating, Alex and I cleared the dishes and tidied up the whole place before we all relocated back to the living room.

“So…… Blake can you tell me what you’re doing here?”I said a little bit harsher than I intended to.

“Um…… I…… Liv…… I know I was a dick to you the other day and I’m sorry about that”He apologized.

I’d have kicked him right out of my house the moment I saw him at my front door but because of the humanity I have and the condition he was in I decided against it.

“Sorry? you weren’t a dick….”

“Oh thank goodness I knew……”

“You’re a double shitted face moron”I completed and Alex gave me a ‘Are you for real’ Stare which I ignored.

“Liv, I know you’re still angry with me and I’m sorry about what I did, I was just…… I don’t know…. I can’t defend myself but I’m really sorry, I just didn’t realize my feelings then until now, trust me I really like Zoey and I’ve been trying to get her to talk to me since but she keeps ignoring my calls and avoiding me. She doesn’t even reply my texts”He said. If I didn’t know better I’d have thought he was sincere.

“Well you decide that and even more, if I were the one I would block you and if you even dare come close to me I’ll beat you up to such an extent that you wouldn’t dare show your stupid face in front of anyone ever again”I yelled, my temper rising.

“Liv please…. I know I deserve whatever you just said but please I really like her”He said desperately.

“Like? you like her? are you even listening to yourself?”I was getting disgusted.

“I can’t call my feelings for her love but I’m very certain that I like her”He said.

“Look Blake, that’s not how things work, I don’t want you anywhere near Zoey again to hurt her……”

“I promise you Liv, I won’t ever hurt her again”He assured me.

“Promises are meant to be broken”I informed him.

“Not all promises are to be broken”He told me.

“Well……”

“Common Liv, why must you be a pussy all the time, he’s trying to make amends, can’t you just give him a chance”Alex flared.

“Hey Mr, no one invited you into this conversation, keep your stupid dick off it”I yelled.

“The dick you’re so dying to have”I heard him mutter but I chose to ignore him.

“Look Blake, it’s late already so I’ll let you stay in one of the guest rooms for the night, by the time I wake up tomorrow morning, let it be that you’re gone, I think Zoey deserves better than you”I said and stood up.

“I know…. but I really love her”He stated.

“Didn’t you just say that you can’t consider your feelings for her as love? so what’s with the love drama now? look let me tell you, girls like Zoey and I don’t do boys like you, so if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in my room”I said and left without another word.

Just as I was walking down the stairs, I heard footsteps coming behind me. I turned to see Alex approaching me.

“What is it Alex?”I asked.

“Liv, I know I’m in no place to be saying this cause I’m equally as bad as him……”

“No, you’re not equally as bad as him, you’re way worse than him”I corrected.

“Okay, whatever. But look Liv, I know my best friend very well and he’d never lie, if he says he likes her then he does, don’t be too harsh on him, he’s realized his mistakes and I can tell that Zoey still likes him so just give him another chance”He said.

“Why do you make it sound like I’m the one he’s begging, I’m in no place to even make that decision, it’s Zoey’s decision to make, so he should be telling her all this and not me, I have no business with all of this”I informed him.

“Yeah I know… but you’re her friend and she listens to you, please just talk to her”He said.

“I’ve told you Alex, I’ll….”

“Liv please”I heard Blake’s voice and I looked across the stairs to see him approaching us.

“I’ve told you both already, I have no business with this nonsense, you can talk to Zoey, if she accepts you back, fine, but as for me, I’m out”I informed them.

“But she doesn’t wanna talk to me”He said.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Who’s fault is it? You boys always think you can have your way, you hurt us and then you think that a simple apology can fix it all. When a glass is broken, it’s impossible to put the pieces back to the way it was before, same thing applies to the heart. When you break someone’s heart, it’s hard to get it back to the way it was”I told him.

“But it’s not impossible right? please Liv, help me, I really I’m sorry, I’ll do anything to win her back, I know I don’t deserve her but I’m that selfish”He said.

“I don’t….”

“Come on Liv, just look at him, he is really desperate, you and I both know that Zoey still has feelings for him, just give him a chance”Alex said.

“I don’t know Alex….”

“Please”Alex gave me a sympathetic look…. more like pathetic.

“Fine, last chance, if he screws up this time I’ll have both your asses for dessert”I told them.

“Oh thanks a lot Liv, I owe you one”Blake smiled.

“And what about me?”Alex grimaced.

“I owe you too”He smirked.

“Come hear dude!”Alex said and took him into his arms, hugging him.

“I’ll act like that did not just happen”I informed them as they pulled away.

“What? can’t two friends hug each other?”Alex questioned.

“Yeah but it seems weird for boys”I informed him.

“So it’s only cool when girls do it?”He raised his eyebrows.

“Umm…… yeah”I laughed.

“Come on bro, let me show you to the guest room”Alex informed him.

“Yeah”Blake responded as they both left.

I stepped forward and pulled the door handle open as I entered my bedroom.
