Living With The Bad Boy

“Wow really? You missed me so much after fucking that slut!” I yelled angrily. He was stepping on my nerves.

“I’m serious Liv, I really did miss you. I tried calling a few times and found out you changed number. I asked Hailey to give me your contact or any way to get to you but she refused” He said.

“Whatever”

“Please Liv, I’m not asking you to come back to me cause I know I wronged you so badly” He would be drunk to think I’d get back together with him. “All I’m asking for is your forgiveness. Please give me a second chance to be your friend and to right all the wrongs I did to you. I’m sorry for everything I did to you, it wasn’t intentional. I was drunk” He lied yet again.

“You are a liar Aiden. A terrible fucking liar and you disgust me!” I spat.

“I know you’re angry with me Liv and your anger is justified, I was an asshole”

“Angry? My feelings towards you right now is beyond anger. It’s pure and raw hatred. I hate you Aiden. And point of correction. You were not an asshole. You are an asshole” I yelled angrily.

“Yes Liv, I know you hate me and I deserve every bit of whatever you call me. All I want is just your forgiveness please”

“Sorry to burst your little bubble Aiden but there is no way I’ll ever forgive you. Some people don’t and would never deserve my forgiveness” I said sternly.

“Please Liv…”

“There’s no need wasting both our times here, if you’ll excuse me I’ll be on my way” I said and turned to walk out of the room but then stopped on my tracks. “I’ll get your t-shirt delivered back to you first thing in the morning” I said and left without another word. This time, he didn’t bother trying to stop me as I left the room.

As I approached the living room, Nana stood up upon seeing me.

“Oh thank goodness you both are here” She said and I looked back to see Aiden behind me. I had no idea he was following me.

“Uhm…. Nana, I think I’ll take my leave now. My family must be waiting for me” I said respectfully.

“Okay dear, I hope you’ll visit again tomorrow” She said with hopeful eyes.

“Uhm…” I was about to decline when Aiden spoke.

“Of course she would granny, as a matter of fact she’ll be stopping by tomorrow to help me with a few things upstairs”

“Wow really?” She said excitedly.

“Yeah… Wow really?” I eyed him and said through gritted teeth.

“Yeah, have you forgotten about the stuff we discussed earlier” He beamed at me knowing fully well that I wouldn’t react in front of Nana because of how much I love and respect her.

“Yeah right” I glared at him.

“Don’t be late, see you at 10” He smiled.

“Of course” I said through gritted teeth.

“Wow I’m glad you both are catching up after such a long time… See you tomorrow dear” Nana said smiling.

“Goodnight Nana” I smiled back at her and then glared at Aiden.

“Night sweetie” She smiled at me.

“I’ll see her off” Aiden said to Nana who smiled in return.

“Let’s go Liv” He said to me as he grabbed my hand.

“Bye Nana” I waved at her and she waved back. We both walked towards the door and made our way out. Once we’d arrived at the veranda, I pulled away from his grip immediately and hit him hard across the face.

“Ouch… What was that for?” He growled.

“For lying to Nana” I yelled angrily.

“What? I didn’t lie, I only told her the truth” He defended.

“What stupid truth” I glared at him.

“The truth that you’d be coming over tomorrow, you wouldn’t wanna break the poor old lady’s heart now that you’ve promised would you?” He pouted in mock.

“Fuck you” I cursed.

“We could make it Doggy or missionary. Whichever you prefer” He said to annoy me.

“I’m out of here” I said and marched down the steps.

“Goodnight Liv, see you tomorrow. Don’t forget to come by ten” He smirked as he stood there watching me walk out into the road. I didn’t bother looking back at him as I made my way towards my house.

What a day.

“Honey you’ve been picking on your food since you came to the dinning. Anything the problem?” My mum asked with a worried look on her face as well as my Dad who also took concern.

“Yes dear, you seem disturbed. Is there any problem?” My Dad also asked as they both stared at me carefully.

“No Dad I’m fine, I just don’t have appetite” I dropped my spoon and pushed my chair backward. “I’ll be in my room” I said and excused myself.

“Liv…” My mum called at the same time Dad said “Let her be, she’s still recovering, she needs to be alone”

I didn’t bother to wait or make a turn around as I headed up to my room. I slammed the door shut and collapsed on my bed. The tears started rolling down my cheeks again.

Alex hasn’t called or texted me yet and it was killing me. Behind the smile and bright face is an extremely broken girl. I lied down there helplessly and continued to cry. This is too much even for me.

Enough. I should stop crying and begin acting. I wiped off my tears with the back of my hands as I reached out to my phone on the night stand.

Without hesitation I dialed Alex’s number but he didn’t pick even after three rings. The dialer went straight to voicemail and I decided to drop a voice message for me.

“Hi Alex, it’s me Liv”I started stupidly. Of course he knows it’s me. “I don’t know why you’ve decided to hurt me this much but I just called to tell you that I love you. I love you so much Alex. Without you here I feel so empty. I’ve gotten so used to being with you. There’s no one to fight with here or tease me and make nasty remarks. No one to cuddle or tickle me. No one to make dinner together with while having cat fights. No one to drag the remote control with. No one to ride with and fight all the way till we get home. I really miss you Alex. Please just call me one time. Let’s talk it out. I’m dying to hear your voice again. Please call me back immediately you get this voicemail” I ended the call and dropped the phone back where I took it.

I sat down upright on the bed and gathered all of my thoughts. Why this sudden change from Alex. My eyes caught up with the bracelet that was still on my wrist. The only thing that connected me with him. Despite how badly I wanted to take it off I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I really love him so much that I hate him. I hate myself more for falling for him and his sweet mouth and dirty tongue.

My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on my door.

“Yes come in” I said despite the fact that I was in no mood to talk to my mom or Dad right now. I couldn’t keep  behaving like this. None of this is their fault. It’s just my bad luck that I always fall for the wrong people.

The door pulled open and I immediately wiped my tears as I jolted up from the mattress.

“What are you doing here!” I yelled at the one person I hate most in the world.

“Are you crying?” He stupidly asked.

“That doesn’t answer my question you  Jerk!” I spat but her ignored me as he made his way towards me. He stretched his hands forth trying to touch me but I yanked his hands away.

“Don’t you dare touch me!” I yelled, my anger rising.

“You were supposed to come over this morning. What happened?” He asked as he stared at me with fake concern.

“Shut up and get lost. Who even let you in here!” I yelled again.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Your mom did. What’s wrong. Why were you crying? Is it because of me?”

“You’re insane to think that I’ll shed even half a tear for an asshole like you!” I spat.

“Calm down Liv…. ”

“Don’t you dare tell me to calm down, now leave” I yelled.

“Liv plea… ”

“Get out!” I yelled again.

“Fine, I’ll get out but only after you tell me why you were crying” He said calmly.

“Why do you wanna know? It’s not like you care” I said calmly this time.

“Yes I do care Liv. I care about you so much that I spent the last two years missing you. I missed you every day and night Liv” He said to me with his eyes swelling with all sorts of emotions. If I didn’t know better I’d have believed him.

“I know what I did in the past was wrong and can’t be justified but can’t we move past it already. It’s been two years already. I know you wouldn’t believe me if I say this but I still love you. My feelings for you never died even after all this while” There was this look on his face that said he was far from joking or playing.

“All the things you just said… Did you mean it?” I asked calmly as I searched his eyes for answers.

“I meant every part of what I just said” He said to me.

“Wow” I paused. “Then you’re really mad, you’re very mad and insane. One minute. I give you only one minute to leave my room before I do something only you would regret” I yelled angrily. He’s stupid to think that I’ll buy his cheap lies. I knew more than to fall for mere words.

“Liv… ”

“Get out before I loose it!” I yelled.

“I should leave?”

“Was there anything in my mouth when I said you should leave? Now get out of my room before I call the cops and arrest you for invasion of personal space” I yelled again.

“You know you can’t do that”

“You know I can and would. Stay here one more minute I dare you” I glares at him angrily.

“Fine, I’ll leave” He said.

“Good” He said and turned around.

He was about walking away when I stopped him “Wait”

He turned around to face me. I walked past him and went into my closet. I pulled open my drawer and brought out his t-shirt which I had neatly dry-cleaned and kept. I came back into the room and placed it into his hands. “Here you go, make sure you lock the door on your way out”
