AWKWARD
” Let me speak, Ryder.” I silently said and pushed him a little away. I’m not as strong as Ryder but he’s obeying my words. Now, I know what I’m going to do. He waited for me to speak. I pushed him on his desk all of a sudden.
” Listen up, bad boy. I promised your mother that I will teach you. You need to pass the upcoming exam.” I said, folding my arms against my chest. I want to act like I’m strict in this. Well, let’s see whether it’s working or not. All he did was lifting his chin and staring at me.
” I will do anything you want if you study sincerely,” I let the words out. Ryder’s eyes brightened hearing those words. I wish I know what he’s thinking now.
” Anything I want. Are you sure?” he asked with doubt.
” Yeah, of course. I promised you right now.” I firmly said. But I’m kinda afraid. I have no idea what he’s going to ask. He didn’t ask anything. Instead, he pulled me on his lap.
” This is the best deal I ever heard,” he said, almost burying his face on my neck.
“Okay. I feel uncomfortable now. Can I get up?” I said as I’m seating on him.
” Nope. You said you will do anything I want. Right now, you are going to sit on my lap,” he said, kissing my neck again.
” I said, I will anything only if you pass the exam. Right now, the deal isn’t on.” I replied, turning my head slightly to face him.
” Ohh,” is all he replied.
” So, what do you want if you pass the exam?” I asked again. It will be nice if I know what he’s gonna say.
” I… Umm.. I’m not telling you now,” he replied with a grin on his face.
” No. I can’t agree to a deal without knowing what you want,” I shook my head.
” The deal’s on. There’s nothing to be afraid of, sweetheart,” he assured me. First of all, do I have the guarantee that he will pass the exam? Even if he passed, he won’t ask for anything so difficult. I guess so.
” Fine. Let’s start studying from Monday,” I told and he leaned closer to kiss me again. The first kiss with Ryder is in my room and the next time it’s been in his secret house with his friends and now it’s house.
” You are so beautiful, Emily. Both inside and out,” he said, cupping my cheeks. My cheeks turned red when I heard those words from Ryder. No one said I’m beautiful till now. Well, my mom did. But not any boy.
Ryder kissed me deeply this time as his one hand travelled to the small of my back. When everything is going well, the disturbance will be on its way.
” Ryder, you got a call from…” I heard Shawn’s voice. He didn’t knock the door but entered the room.
” Gross. Is this why you got her to your room,” Shawn raised his voice and almost turned his head away from us. I almost got panicked by his entry. I got up from Ryder awkwardly. My reputation will be spoiled if I keep on getting caught by anyone who forgets to knock the door.
” Can’t I get some privacy? When did I tell you to enter my room without knocking?” Ryder shouted at him. It seems like Shawn’s younger brother and Ryder’s older brother. Totally opposite.
” I didn’t know you will be kissing her. I thought you are showing your room. Anyways, I’m not involving in your business. We got a call from our Aunt. Attend it and continue doing whatever you are doing.” Shawn gave his phone to Ryder and went down. I awkwardly sat on his bed while he talked with his relative.
” Hey, sorry for the delay,” Ryder said, hanging up the phone.
” It’s okay. Anyways, lock the door next time.” I said, glaring at him.
” So, there will be next time right?”
” That’s not my point. I don’t like getting caught like this.” I said.
” Don’t be mad. I will lock the door next time. Come on, we are leaving now,” he said, opening the door widely.
” Where?” I said, forgetting within an hour.
” I told you, I will take you to the bar. You are coming right?” he asked. I nodded and followed him down. I didn’t spot Shawn in the hall. Maybe he’s gone to his room. It’s for the good. The sky was dark when we came outside of the house. I checked the messages from my mom. She already messaged that I can go with Ryder. Soon, we both reached the bar. I watched it outside. This is the first time, I’m going inside. There are two men standing outside like they are guarding the bar. When he looked at me, he opened his mouth to say something.
” Those who are under eighteen years aren’t allowed here,” he sternly said, looking at me and Ryder. I thought so. Everyone can say, that I’m underage just by looking at me. I hate this.
” She’s with me. Plus, she’s eighteen,” Ryder said, putting his arms around my waist. I feel like I’m his girlfriend. Nope. Nope. Ryder doesn’t do girlfriend-boyfriend. I can’t increase my expectations. The guards let us in. I walked with Ryder trying not to get lost in the crowd. I kinda feel congested here. I’m not practised being in the middle of a crowd. I can see a whole lot of guys drinking and some are playing truth or dare. There’s also a lot of couples kissing each other. My eyes wandered over everything until my eyes landed on someone familiar. It can’t be. I don’t believe it.
I think I saw Jason.
