Living With The Bad Boy

“If you’re done admiring me, you can come help me with these”His manly voice rang, knocking me from my subconscious mind.

“Um…. i…… er…… i wasn’t admiring you”I said in my defense.

“Of course, so what do you call standing the door, playing with the hem of your pajama and licking your lips?”He teased.

I didn’t even know what i was doing. I looked down at my self and saw that what he said was true. I waa busy playing with the hem of my pajamas and i looked really slutty.

“Um” I swallowed “I wasn’t admiring you, I was admiring the pancakes”I defended.

“Oh yeah…… sexy pancake…… I’ve told you times without number Liv, you suck at lying so stop it”He said and turned his focus back to the pancakes which starting to burn.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ahhh…… you’re such a distraction”He complained as he turned off the cooker.

I bursted out laughing at his expression “Don’t blame this on me Alex, this is all your fault”I laughed.

“Ha ha ha, so funny, I can’t stop laughing” He mocked.

“You know you could do better than that, besides i wasn’t the one that asked you to leave your pancake and talk to me”I said as i walked towards him.

“You could do me a huge favor by shutting up you know”He said, not sparing a glance at me as he took out the burnt pancakes and threw them into the trashcan.

“Someone’s moody”I teased.

“Liv I’ll pluck out your mouth if you say anything again”He threatened.

“Oh really? come and do it, I’m curious to see how you’ll do that”I taunted.

“Ahhh, why do women have to be so annoying, can’t you keep quiet”He said.

“And why does men have to be so authoritative, can’t you not complain”I teased and he hissed, not bothering to look at me or respond.

He dished out the fresh set of pancakes into two plates. It was honey pancakes with honey cinnamon syrup. My favorite.

“Take them to the dinning, I’ll clean up the kitchen and be with you shortly”He ordered.

“Hey, you’re not the boss of me, say please” I told him and then he shot me a death glare in response.

“Um…. I’ll just take the pancakes to the dinning” I said and took the plates out to the dinning. I set them down on the table and sat down. Without waiting for Alex, i began to eat.

Few seconds later, he came in to the dinning and sat beside me, staring at me like he’d seen a ghost.

“What?”I mumbled with a mouth full of pancake.

“Why didn’t you wait for me, so we can eat together?”He asked.

“As your girlfriend or what? i can do whatever i please”I told him as i enjoyed the mouth watering taste of pancake which was appealing to my taste buds.

“Courtesy demands you should have waited for me”He said. He was clearly pissed but i couldn’t care less.

“Well…. tell courtesy that i said hi”I teased and i could feel his eyes shooting daggers at me.

“We can still eat together if you start eating now, rather than glaring at me” I told him, smiling sheepishly.

“Shit you’re annoying as fuck!”He cursed and i chuckled, ignoring his rude remarks.

He began to eat his food as he stared at me.

“Mhmm…. this is heavenly”I told him and i could hear his chuckle. I felt his eyes on me as i kept eating which made me uncomfortable.

“What?”I asked.

“Nothing”He simply smiled but kept staring at me. I hurriedly finished my food and left for the kitchen. I tidied up the kitchen and left for my room.

On my way back to the room, i was pulled back by Alex who was staring down at me with a confused look.

“What was that about?”He questioned.

“What was what about?”I pretended to be oblivious.

“Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about Liv!”He raised his voice slightly.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, let go of me!”I yelled, pushing him away from me and then stormed off. I could hear his footsteps behind me so i quickened my steps but he was fast enough to catch up with me and pulled me back to the wall, trapping me in between his arms.

“Why are you running away from me? what did i do? i thought everything was fine between us” He questioned.

“Yeah everything’s fine, I’m just tired, let me ne Alex, I want to go to my room” I told him calmly, avoiding eye contact with him.

“Why are you lying to me despite how many times I’ve told you that you have a poor lying performance”He questioned.

“I’m not lying Alex”I told him, trying to break free from his grip.

“You’re still lying, why do you always act like this, i thought everything was fine between us”He said.

“Everything’s fine Alex, like i said earlier. I’m tired and i need to rest. I’ll talk to you later”I told him and he let go of me much to my surprise.

He turned around and went to his room without sparing a second glance at me. I walked into my room, slamming the door behind. I don’t know why i was behaving like that around Alex.

I sat down on the bed with fury burning inside me. I was about to lie down on the bed when i heard the buzzing sound of my cellphone. I stood up immediately and picked it up from my dresser. Without checking the caller id i picked the call and i could hear sobs coming from the other line.

“Liv”I heard Zoey’s muffled sob.

“Zoe?”I questioned.

“Please…. Liv…… please can you come”She pleaded and my temper overtook my pity for her. I tapped on the end button and ended the call angrily. I threw my phone on the bed angrily and left the room immediately for the kitchen. I went to the bar side angrily and took out a bottle of vodka. I poured it into a wine glass and just as i was about to take a sip, it was flipped away from me and it went tumbling on the floor. I stared it horror at the now shattered glass and then at Alex who was staring at me in bewilderment.

“What are you doing? i know you’re mad at me but that shouldn’t cause you to drink, if I’ve done anything then you should tell me so i can apologize, why do you have to drink!”He yelled.

“Leave me alone Alex”I yelled and pushed past him and took out another glass. Just as i was about pouring the liquid into the glass, he slapped it away from my hand and pulled me up stairs with him to my room. I struggled to free myself from his clutches but he was strong…. so strong that i felt my bones my break into two from his grip.

When we got into the room, he slammed the door behind and then pulled me to the bed. As we got to the bed, he flipped me roughly, making me land on the bed.

“Now you’ll listen and I’ll speak”He said with an intimidating tone. I shivered from his cold expression as I sat up on the bed, staring at him.

“Liv, i know we might have our differences and you might not yet feel comfortable enough beside me but we can work it out, you don’t have to walk away from me. I don’t know why you keep running away from me. Are you scared of me?”He asked snd despite myself, i burst into laughter.

“Me? Scared of you? Why would i be? I only left the dinning because i was feeling uncomfortable with the way you were staring at me. Why would i be scared of you?”I said in humour.

“Then why did you want to drink?”He questioned.

“That has absolutely nothing to do with you so mind your damn business”I told him.

“You think you’ll say that and I’ll just believe you? come on Liv, i thought we’ve talked this out, i don’t know you as someone who drinks so i presume there’s something wrong. You know you can tell me anything. Please”He said with pleading eyes and i couldn’t help but let out a sob.

Gosh when did i become this emotional?

“It’s…. Zoey”I told him.

“Zoey?”He questioned.

“Yeah”I answered.

“What about Zoey?”He asked.

“We…. we kinda had a fight few days ago…. how come you don’t know about it, the news of our fight was all over the school”I told him.

“Really? i didn’t know, maybe i was busy” He said.

“Busy shoving your cock down into a girl’s throat”I muttered to only my hearing.

“Sorry?”He asked.

“It’s nothing…… Zoey and i had a fight”I told him.

“What waa it about?”He asked as he sat down beside me.

“I was cautioning her about she and Blake’s relationship but then she created a scene and insulted me”I told him.

“She and Blake are seeing each other? i thought Blake was with Trisha “He said.

Whoa.

“Trisha?”I questioned.

“Yeah, he’s sort of seeing Trisha, you know how Blake is, he’s never serious” He said.

“Just like you”I told him and he glared at me in response.

“So what happened that made you cry?”He asked.

“She called me, she was crying and told me to come but i was very angry so I hung up on her and then went downstairs to get a drink….”I trailed off.

“Oh, I understand how you must be feeling Liv but you should have at least hear her out and know what she wants, what if she’s in some sort of trouble?”He asked.

“I couldn’t care less, she can go to her new friends”I huffed.

“Come on babe, i know you aren’t like that, even though she’s hurt you, you shouldn’t do the same, just call her back and find out what she wants, you shouldn’t loose your friend because of such trivial matter”He said.

“You should tell that to her, she’ll need it more than me, she’s the one that started this and i don’t wanna keep talking about this”I said, getting uo from the bed with my arms crossed.

“Liv, two wrongs can’t make a right”He said.

“Look who’s talking, if you said this to me a week ago I’d have laughed my ass out”I told him.

“That’s a week ago, now I’m only telling you the truth, you shouldn’t prolong matters, you don’t know the reason she called so why cut the call? “He asked.

Who’s this Alex? Alexander Williams isn’t this smart and caring.

“Look Alex, I don’t wanna talk about this anymore”I told him.

“Liv…. Please”He stared at me with eyes full of expectations. Just as i was about to refuse again, my phone began to buzz from the bed.

He took the phone and handed it to me.

“Pick it”He said, giving me a smug smile of reassurance.

“Fine”I said and accepted the call.

“Olivia sweetie, please can you come over, your friend has locked herself up in the room and has refused to come out. I’m worried sick” It was Zoey’s mum, Mrs White.

“Okay Aunt, I’ll be there shortly, don’t panic”I told her.

“Okay honey, hurry up please”She said and i ended the call.

“It’s Zoey’s mum, she said Zoey has locked herself up in her room”I told Alex who was looking at me with worried eyes.

“Then you should freshen up immediately and get there as soon as possible, you never know, she could do something unexpected”He said.

“Yeah, i need to hurry up”I told him.

“I’ll be in the living room”He said as he got up and left. I immediately pulled off my pajamas and scurried into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I blowdried my hair hurriedly an packed it in a messy ponytail. I wore a black sweatshirt with grey joggers. I immediately put on my slippers and grabbed my purse, heading out of the room. I went down to the living room to meet Alex sitting on the couch. His eyes met mine immediately as i walked towards him.

“Can i drop you off? it will be faster”He offered, standing up to face me.

“Um no…. i think I’ll be better off on my own”I told him and he curtly nodded, smiling at me.

“Bye”I told him and headed for the door.

“You look hot”He teased.

Who teases someone in this kind of situation.

Alexander Williams.

I ignored his comment and ran out the door to my car. I stepped inside the vehicle and tossed my purse away on the passengers seat. I inserted my key to the ignition and the car sprang to life. I veered the vehicle out of the driveway and within few seconds i was driving down the road with as much speed as i could keep up with.
