Living With The Bad Boy

I hurtled the car down the road speedily and in no time, i arrived at the White’s mansion. I parked my car in the parking lot and immediately got out of the vehicle heading to the front door.

I pulled the doorbell repeatedly and after three rings the door came open. Mrs White was standing by the door, she let out a breath of relief and ushered me into the house.

“Thank God you’re here sweetie, i was getting really worried”She said.

“It’s okay aunt, where’s she?”I asked.

“In her room”She told me and we both ran up to Zoey’s room.

I knocked on the door repeatedly but she wasn’t responding “Open the door Zoey, it’s me”I yelled.

“Liv?”Came her stifled response.

“Yeah, open up”I said and in no time, the door bursted open. She threw her arms around me in an embrace.

“Um…. I’ll leave you guys to it” Mrs White said and gave me a sweet smile before leaving.

I took Zoey into the room and shut the door behind me. I took in the appearance of her room. There were books littered all around with broken bottles and mirror. The place was a mess.

“What happened?”I asked and pulled her away from me as we got to the bed. We sat down and i took in her appearance. She had puffy eyes from crying, her hair was a mess and she looked like something from a horror movie. She had black eye bag which were a result from both her smudged mascara and lack of sleep.

“Blake…… he…… you were right Liv…. I’m sorry i didn’t listen to you…… I’m sorry for everything”She apologized and my heart softened as i stared at her.

“It’s okay baby…. come here”I cooed her to my chest and she sobbed.

“He’s bad, i wish i listened to you”She cried.

“It’s okay baby, don’t cry” I told her as i patted her back.

“I loved him”She cried.

Loved? i thought she said it’s casual dating.

“You love him?”I asked.

“Yes Liv, he’s my first love and i didn’t wanna loose him, I’m sorry i said those mean things to you”She cried.

“It’s okay, i understand”I told her.

“I’m a bitch, I don’t deserve your friendship”She sniffled.

“Don’t say that baby, I know you didn’t do it intentionally, you were blinded by your love”I told her.

“Will you ever forgive me?”She asked.

“I’ve forgiven you already, please don’t cry”I told her.

“Thank”She sobbed.

“What exactly did Blake do?”I asked curiously.

“I…. i saw him in bed with Trisha and he said he doesn’t love me. It all made sense at that moment, he always hid our relationship, he was the one that told me to hide it and not tell anyone with the excuse that he doesn’t like attention, he lied to me Liv”She cried.

“It’s okay baby, i know how you feel, cry it all out, you’ll feel much better after that”I said and continued patting her back.

Blake has messed with the wrong person this time, once i get my hands on him, I’ll punch him so hard that he won’t be able to show his face for a long time.

After petting and reassuring her that all will be well about a thousand times. She finally drifted off to sleep. I layed her down on the bed and tugged her gently beneath her duvet. I left the room and went downstairs to meet a worried Mrs White, pacing up and down the room.

“How’s she?” She asked immediately I approached her.

“She’s fine, I’ve put her to sleep, I’ll be back tomorrow to check on her” I told her.

“Thank you so much honey, you don’t know what you’ve just done for me”Mrs White said and i gave her a bright smile. She walked me out of the house after making me promise to return tomorrow.

Now it’s time to settle some scores with Blake. I veered my vehicle down the road and headed down towards his house.

It took me about fifteen minutes to arrive at the modern two storey duplex. If i wasn’t angry already I’d have acknowledged the beautiful dainty garden at the entrance and the side swimming pool by the left.

I parked my car few metres away from the house and got out of the vehicle, shutting and locking it. I scampered down to the building and didn’t bother to pull the doorbell since i knew that he lived alone. Alex use to talk about his friends and had once told me that Blake is an orphan, he lived with his uncle who was never home.

I banged angrily on the door repeatedly. Within a few minutes the door swung open. Blake was standing in front of me with his messy but cute hair all over the place, he was shirtless and putting on black sweat pants. His perfectly laid abs were on full display alongside his contracted muscles. I couldn’t help but swallow. He was just as hot as Alex but i think Alex was way hotter. I quit out of my trance and gave him the meanest glare i could form.

“Hey Liv…… what a surprise, where’s Alex?”He smiled at me.

“Alex isn’t here you punk!”I yelled and he gave me a knowing look and muttered a little . oh.

“Um…… Liv…… it’s not what you’re thinking, i know she must have told you but seriously I’m……”I didn’t wait for him to finish before my hands came in contact with his face.

“How dare you still stand here and try to lie to me, Blake for goodness sake, if you know you didn’t love her then why the hell did you chase after her!”I yelled.

“Whoa…. calm down Liv…… love her? is that what she told you?”He questioned, staring at me wearily.

“I’m not in for any of your lies you punk, how dare you do that to my friend!”I yelled angrily.

“Liv please try to understand me i didn’t……”I slapped him again.

“I hate it when people lie to my face, i didn’t-“I’m cut off by his grip on me as he pulls me into the house and closes the door shut behind. He pins me to the door and stares directly into my eyes, void of emotions.

“Will you just shut the fuck up, you were making a scene in front of my house for something you know nothing about!”He barked on my face.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Seriously what’s with these boys with pinning me to the wall. Only Alex gets to do that to me because for some reason i feel weak under his grip but not with his skunk. I push him hard away from me, making him to fall on the ground. I trampled him beneath my feet and he tried to get away from my grip. All to no avail.

“Are you done barking? don’t think you have power over me because you are a boy, i only let who i want, have their way with me. You’re really stupid to think that you can do anything to my friend, you’ve forgotten she has friends, not just friends, she has me and i will break your bones today for every single thing you’ve done to hurt her”I yelled angrily as i pulled him up to face me and just as i raised my hand to punch him, he yelled.

“Enough! what gives you the fucking right to come to my house and insult me in this manner? you said i hurt her? when did i ever hurt her? she knew from the beginning that i was seeing Trisha, i never kept it a secret. I remember stating it clearly to her that i don’t do commitments, i told her that I’m not the kind of guy that sticks to one girl, she accepted and said she also doesn’t want any commitments, she said she’s okay with casual dating, more like friends with benefits. I never went to her, she came to me and i enjoyed each time spent with her. How is it my fault that she fell in love with me? if i am right, i know that i didn’t do anything to her and it’s all her fault that she fell for me so if you have any self respect in you left, leave my house this minute or else, I’ll call security on you”He yelled.

“How dare you! you’re kicking me out of your house?”I yelled.

“Remember one thing, let it stick into your skull that I’m not Alex, I wouldn’t think twice before calling the security on you”He told me.

I laughed. I laughed terribly in sarcasm as i glared at him with venom in my eyes.

“Fine then, I’ll leave, not because I’m scared of you calling security but because i have some self respect left for me to stand here and watch you kick me out of your house. Mark my words, you’ll regret this i promise you”I told him and turned to the door, i pulled in open and then turned back to face him.

“And if you have any decency left in you, don’t you dare to show your face near her ever again, If i see you anywhere near her again, I’ll cut your balls and feed them to vultures, i promise you”I said and slammed the door shut angrily. I spun on my heels, heading to my car. I yanked the door open and immediately turned on the ignition as i veered the vehicle out of his compound.

I drove down to the nearest club. It was already 7pm and my head was so full with anger that i didn’t even feel like going home. I pulled my car into the parking lot and locked it as i got out. I went into the small building which had loud music blaring from it.

There were a lot of drunk people all over the place as my body collided with sweaty bodies. The place had an intoxicating smell of alcohol everywhere which filled the entire atmosphere. Along with the stench of cigarettes which was being smoked by some delinquents sitting in a corner at the bar side with some sluts on their laps. Some people were making out in corners, some were already drunk and wasted while some were dancing. I walked past the drunk group of teenagers and adults as i headed down to the bar.

“Two shots please”I ordered the bar man and he gave me a curt nod before attending to my request. He had a huge grin on his face as i took the bottles from him and poured the liquid into disposable res plastic cup. I sat down by the bar side stool and took the first shot down in one gulp. I did the same for the other.

Remind me why I’m here again?

Oh I’m here because I’m very angry at the way Blake spoke to me which made no sense at all. Blake is supposed to be the last thing on my mind but here i am, drowning down alcohol like a lunatic.

I got up from the stool and went to the counter, dropping my cup on it. The bar guy rolled his eyes at me, already taking in my slightly drunken state.

“More please”I told him and he gave me an unsure look. I glared at him in response and he immediately gave me two extra bottles which i took and sat back down. After finishing the bottles of tequila, i ordered three more bottles. I was about finishing the third bottle when i heard the buzzing sound of my phone from my pocket. I took it out and saw Alex’s name pop out on the screen. I declined the call immediately and put my phone back into my purse. I took another sip of my drink and then i heard a different buzzing sound coming from my phone. I pulled it out of my purse and saw 24 missed calls from Alex, 3 missed calls from my mum and also five messages from Alex. Those calls must have been from earlier when i was at Blake’s house. I had left my phone in the car. I opened my inbox and read Alex’s messages.

~Where are you Liv~

~Come home~

~Why aren’t you picking my calls, are you alright?~

~Please answer me~

~Why are you declining my call, I just left Zoey’s place and you aren’t there, where are you? please pick my calls~

I sighed. I was about to put the phone back into my purse when it started ringing again.

“What?”Came my hiccuped voice.

“Where the fuck are you Liv, I’ve been looking for you, why aren’t you picking my calls!”He yelled and i giggled.

“Calm your bones Alex, I’m…… um….”I gulped “I’m…… fine”I giggled.

“Are you drunk? where are you? I’m hearing loud music from your background, are you in a bar or something?”He questioned with a serious tone and i giggled again.

“You can’t catch me”I giggled.

“This isn’t funny Liv, where are you? Are you at a club?”He asked.

“Why? do you want to shout at me too?”I pouted.

“Shout at you? why would i shout at you, where are you?”He asked.

“I won’t tell you”I giggled.

“Please Liv, don’t make this difficult, where are you?”He asked.

“No i won’t tell you”I gulped.

“Please Liv, tell me” He pleaded.

“First promise that you won’t shout at me”I pouted.

“Fine, i won’t shout at you”He groaned, making me giggling, despite myself.

“Promise?”I asked.

“I promise, now will you tell me where you are?”He asked.

“I’m…… um……”I hiccupped.

“Tell me Liv, where are you?”He asked.

“I’m…… at…. I’m…. at the….”I swallowed “the club”I giggled.

“I know you’re at the club for goodness sake Liv, what club are you in?”He asked in a frustrated tone.

“I…… I’m….”I giggled.

“You’re what?”He asked.
