Living With The Bad Boy

“Did you invite him over?”She asked.

“No, did you?”I asked.

“If i did would i be asking you?”She answered my question with a question.

“Hey girls”Mrs White said smiling.

“Hey Liv, Zoey”Alex smirked and i grimaced at him.

We walked towards them as they stood up.

“What the hell are you doing here?”I whispered to only his hearing.

“Glad to see you too Olivia”He smirked making me want to punch him so bad.

“You look hot girls, stay back for lunch before you go”Mrs White said.

“Um…. we’re kinda running late already”I said.

“Oh…. I’ll stay for lunch, i think you guys should also stay for lunch, right Zoey?”Alex said and Zoey beamed awkwardly at him.

“Is he supposed to be here?”She whispered.

“Of course not, i have no idea what he’s doing here”I told her.

“Okay girls, you all should settle down at the dinning while i serve lunch”Mrs White said.

“I’ll help you with it”I offered looking for the best excuse to save my self from this awkward situation.

“Me too”Zoey said.

“Me three”Alex added and i scowled at him.

He’s really pushing my button.

“Oh great, i could use a few helping hands” Mrs White smiled as we all followed her to the kitchen.

While we were taking out the dishes, Alex and i were busy glaring at each other.

I was the one glaring while he was busy smirking as we were side butt fighting each other.

After lunch was served we all dished out the meals and settled down to eat in peace.

No war.

I was suffocating for sme reason. Maybe it’s because of what happened between Alex and i earlier today.

I took a bite of my mashed potatoes as we kept staring at each other. Alex hasn’t even touched his food. He was just busy staring at me which made me awkward.

“So girls, going to the beach huh?” Mrs White said as she took a bite of her chicken.

Why did she have to say that?

“Um…. yeah…. i guess” I said awkwardly.

There was a staring fight between Alex and I. Zoey was busy watching us awkwardly and i could see she was enjoying it. So was Alex.

Mrs White didn’t seem to notice what was going on at her dinning. I couldn’t be more glad.

“We’re going shopping firstly and then we’ll go get some ice cream before going to the beach.

“Oh that’s nice, I think it will be great of Alex came along with you guys, you could really use a guy who will be able to protect you and look after you, right Alex?”She smiled and Alex nodded in response.

The only person who needs protection is Alex right now because i would be more than glad to kill him right now.

He smirked at me and i could tell her was enjoying every bit of this.

“Luckily i came prepared in my swim shorts, it’s in my car…. like i knew they would be going swimming”He smirked.

Stupid jerk! of course he knew, I’d told him before i left.

“Oh that’s good, it’s good to always come prepared, you never know what might happen”Mrs White smiled brightly.

This uncomfortable lunch was already eating my nerves up.

“Um…. I think I’m okay”Zoey said as she got up.

“So am i…. thanks for the meal aunt”I said and she smiled at us.

“I’m not done eating yet”Alex said and i gave him the meanest glare ever.

“Um…. you guys can take out the dishes for the main time”Mrs White said and i nodded as Zoey and i took out our dishes to the kitchen. After clearing up the sink we dried our hands and went back to the dinning. Alex seemed to be eating slowly on purpose. I shot him a death glare and he winked at me.

Asshole.

“Um…. aunt…. we’ll be outside waiting”I said.

“Okay girls”She smiled at us.

“Bye mum”Zoey said.

“Bye aunt”I said and she smiled at us, waving as we reached for the exit.

We walked down to the car and waited for Alex who seemed to be taking his time knowing fully well what was coming for him.

“What a jerk”I said angrily.

“The nerves of that boy”Zoey said, pissed just as much as i was.

“Just wait till i get my hands on him, I’ll beat him to a pole”I said.

“Here he comes”She said, gesturing towards the front door as Alex approached us.

“Hey babes”He smirked.

“Oh you’re enjoying this right” I said as i pulled him and we began to hit him.

“Hey…. hey what’s this, why are you hitting me, what did i do?”He yelled.

“You jerk! who told you to come here!” I yelled.

“Hey…… i was bored at home and you looked extremely sexy in that outfit so i decided to join you guys, it’s not my fault Zoey’s mum likes me and invited me to join you” He said in his defense and we kept hitting him.

“Hey…. get your hands off me…. if you hit me one more time…. I’ll call Mrs White out and you both will have to explain why you’re hitting me”He threatened and we gasped.

“You wouldn’t dare”I said.

“Oh i will, just you hit me again and see” He smirked.

“Asshole, hit me!”I yelled as we raised our hands to hit him.

“Oh, Mrs White!”He screamed.

“Shut your mouth dumbo” Zoey said as i covered his mouth with my hand.

“Too late…. here she comes…. my super woman”He smirked, pointing at Mrs White who was bow approaching us.

“What are you guys doing?”She asked as she approached us and we immediately let go of Alex.

“We…. um…. we….”I was out of words.

“Oh, we were just practicing”Alex answered.

“Practicing?”She asked.

“Yeah…… we were um…… practicing some new…. um…. stretching skills…. it’s really good exercise for digestion after eating”He said.

Even though what he said made absolutely no sense, i was glad he defended us with his stupidity.

“So the exercise involves them hitting you and suffocating you? How dumb do you guys think i am?”She folded her arms, giving us an unapproving stare.

“Um…. we…. it’s not what it looked like mum”Zoey said.

“I know absolutely what’s going on here, ever since you both saw Alex in the living room you’ve been exchanging mean eye contacts with each other. Don’t think i didn’t notice, i just decided to keep quiet. Now get in the car, Alex will take you to wherever you’re going. And oh Alex” She turned to Alex. “If they give you any troubles, inform me, i know how to deal with them”She smiled.

“Sure will”He smirked.

“Good, now you guys should get going, you wouldn’t want the mall to be over crowded before you get there” She said and we nodded as we got into the car.

Alex went over to the driver’s seat while we sat at the back seat.

He pulled out of the parking lot and in no time, we were on the road.

I attempted to smack him while he was driving but was stopped by Zoey.

“Remember what mum said, you know what she can do if we disobey her”Zoey reminded me and i immediately retracted my hands.

The drive to the mall was very fast and in no time, we arrived at the crowed mall. She shopped for a lot of items, clothes, bags, shoes and many other which we made Alex pay for. After we left the mall, we drove down to a nearby ice cream palace where they served the town’s best ice creams.

I ordered an ice cream sundae with raspberries and assorted garnish. Zoey ordered ben & jerries chocolate brownie fudge while Alex ordered a dove mint chocolate chip ice cream.

We ate our ice creams as we drove down to the beach.

I could as well annoy Alex. I picked up my phone and dialed Cade’s number, inviting him to join us on our beach trip. I texted him the address and he was more than glad to join us.

As we pulled over at the parking lot. I smiled as we got out of the car, Zoey and Alex took out their swim wears. I just stood there waiting for them as they went to change. They came back few minutes later. Zoey was putting on the peach bikini which looked extremely sexy on her while Alex was putting on a black swim short which fitted him perfectly. He looked hot.

“Why aren’t you changing your clothes Liv?”Zoey asked as they approached me.

“I already have it on”I said as i slipped out of my clothes, leaving only the pink bikini.

Alex smiled in content as his eyes raked my body. I felt self conscious immediately as i wrapped my arms around my body.

“Um…. let’s go”Alex said.

“No…… Cade’s on his way, let’s wait for him”I said and i couldn’t miss the look on Alex’s face immediately i said that. His eyes popped out of it’s socket and i couldn’t feel any much happier.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“What the fuck! why did you invite him?”Alex asked.

“If you could come uninvited then i thought I could invite whoever i wanted to”I smirked as a black BMW pulled up in front of us. Cade came out of the car and headed straight to where we stood.

“Hey Cade”I beamed as i hugged him.

“Hey”He smiled as he pulled away from me.

“Hi Cade”Zoey smiled at him and he smiled back at her.

“Hey Alex”He waved at Alex who was looking furious. Alex didn’t bother to acknowledge his greeting.

“Okay…. let’s go” I was enjoy this way too much. We all walked down to the beach which was crowded with a lot of people, families and couples.

The warm breeze of the ocean air flew past my face as we headed deeper down the beach. The heat of the sun was sizzling and burning down against my skin.

We settled down under our own umbrellas and lay down on bag chairs. My pink bag chair was sitting in the right spot for the waves to flow up to my feet and back down again.

My skin was burning in reaction to the scorching sun. I had forgotten to carry along my sunscreen.

As if Alex had read my thought, he handed me a tube of sunscreen. I couldn’t thank him enough.

“Thanks”I beamed at me.

“I figured you’d need it, i knew you’d forget it so i grabbed it from your room as the genius i am”He bragged.

I knew he’d always be boastful but i have began to like that part of him a little bit.

He handed me a pair of sunglasses and hat.

“You’ll need it”He smiled and i smiled back at him as i put on the sunglasses and hat.

Cade and Zoey were busy talking and laughing about random stuff while i applied the sunscreen and then lay down letting the cool breeze blow into my skin.

The beach was crowded in all directions. There were seagulls gliding past the groups of people, searching for dropped foods to eat.

Their little footprints marked a trail in the sand as they went in different directions. I took in the exquisiteness of it all. The blue waves was crashing into the sandy shore which made white foams and bubbles wash into the sea.

There were children digging in the bright white sand, running away from the small waves. We got up heading towards the water.

The sand was scorching heat. It burned our feet as we walked down to the ocean shore eagerly.

There were small pieces of bright seashells scattered all over the place, poking our feet as we walked down down to the beach.

The beach was deep. It made out feet sink down with every step we took. Brightly colored umbrellas and towels  covered the entirety of the beach with adults and kids rushing into the waves with their surfboards and floaties.

I slipped my feet into the deep water, taking in the cool water.

“Nice water”Alex said behind me. I could feel his breath fanning the small of my back.

“Yeah”I admitted with a nod as we watched Cade and Zoey dive into the water with their surfboards.

“Yoo hoo!”Zoey squeaked and i couldn’t help but chuckle. I’m happy to see her have fun. It felt like i had my old Zoey back. She was really having fun.

“Good Job”Alex said as he stepped beside me, our arms brushing against each other’s.

“Huh?”I asked confusedly.

“She seems to be having fun”He said, pointing at Zoey who was busy on a surfing competition with Cade.

“Oh.”Was my response as i smiled, looking forward at them.

“They look good together, don’t you think?”Alex asked and i scowled at him. He was only saying that because he’s jealous of seeing Cade and I together.

The reason for his jealousy, i couldn’t comprehend.

“Hmm”I sighed.

“They’d make a perfect pair don’t you think?”

“You know what else will be perfect? if you keep your fucking mouth shut”I grimaced.

“Hey chill…… i was only joking, why are you being violent?”He smirked.

“Well keep your lame jokes to yourself, i know you’re only saying that because you don’t want me around Cade”I scowled.

“True but…. to be honest…. they do look good together, just look at them”He said, taking his eyes off me and back to the waters. I looked forward and saw Cade and Zoey playing in the ocean.
