Living With The Bad Boy

“No Aiden, I’m sorry” I apologized immediately and he let go of me and cleared his throat.

“I think we should go home” He said after a few seconds.

“Yeah” I nodded nervously and he took my hand and led us both out of the lake. We got back to the blanket and he grabbed his pants and palm.

“I’ll be in the bike” He said and began walking away immediately. I stood there for a while as I stared at his back until he was far off from my sight. I sighed and pulled off his t-shirt. I wore back my underwear once my body was dry enough and then I wore my top and pants.

I stared at the blanket and basket that still laid there. I bent down and folded the blanket, grabbed the basket and headed towards the path that led to the entrance.

“Olivia” I heard James voice call from behind and I halted on my steps. I turned back to face him and watched him approach me.

“Here, I think this belongs to you” He handed me a box.

“What’s this?” I asked.

“Something you should open only when you get home and you’re all alone” He said with a smile.

“Okay?” I said unsurely.

“Yeah, Good luck” He said and turned to walk away.

I kept staring at the box until I was almost near the bike to see Aiden seated on it staring at the road.

“Hey” I said as I approached him.

“We aren’t taking that blanket and basket, leave it there, I’ll come back and get it later” He said and I nodded. I didn’t have the willpower to say anything to him right now. I turned back and took the items back into the park. I dropped them on a bench by the swing and left.

“What’s that?” Aiden asked as his eyes flew to the box in my hand.

“A gift” I said.

“From who?” He raised his eyebrows.

“James, it’s just a small welcome back gift” I lied.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Okay” He said calmly and uninterested as he turned on the engine of his deathtrap.

“Hop in” He said and I carefully stepped on the bike. Once I was seated comfortably, he handed me a helmet which I wore and held the box tightly with one hand and the other held Aiden’s waist loosely.

I wasn’t thinking about my life at the moment, I was thinking about Aiden and it’s really stupid of me.

He didn’t waste time to zoom off but thankfully he wasn’t on high speed. We got home ij exactly fifteen minutes. I climbed off the bike and waved at him as I wished him bye. He drove off without saying a word to me which kinda hurt my feelings. I stood there for a while and then went in.

“Finally, you’re back, I was already getting worried” My mum said immediately I got in. She had worry written all over her face.

“Sorry mum, Aiden and I……”

“It’s okay, at least you’re home now, I’m happy” She gave me a tight hug.

“You’re cold” She said as she pulled away immediately and fixed me with a look.

“Yeah, I……” My sneeze interrupted my sentence.

“And now you’ve caught a flu” She had a disapproving look on her face.

“No mum, I’m not sick, I’m perfectly fine” I walked past her, ignoring her remarks.

“Just look at you, you’re sick, I’ll make you some really hot soup to make you feel better” She said behind me.

“No mum, I’m good, I don’t need soup, I need some sleep… I’m just getting back from the lake” I told her and turned back to face her.

“The lake? which lake? Why?” She inquired.

“The one at the old park” I said to her.

“So you haven’t forgotten that place yet” She sighed and walked past me towards the kitchen with me following behind.

“Aiden took me there” I said and placed the box on the kitchen counter.

“And what did you guys do there?” My mum is a gossip queen.

“Just casually hang out and….”

“Oh my goodness, did you guys kiss?” This is the time when my mum behaves like a teenager and I’m like eek!

Totally annoying!

“No we didn’t” I told her.

“Did you peck?” She winked like a two year old.

“God, no!” I squeaked.

“Cuddle?”

“No”

“Romance?”

“No”

“Sex?”

“Mum!” I shot her a playful glare.

“What? Isn’t that what you kids of nowadays do? Hide somewhere and get your pussy banged” The filthy mouth of this woman even at her age.

“Mum!” I felt embarrassed.

“What? I’m just asking” She grinned and pulled open the cupboard in search of something.

“Well, we didn’t do anything like that” I said to her.

“So what you’re trying to tell me is that, two people of opposite gender went out to a romantic place and did nothing?” She eyed me carefully.

“Exactly” I smiled.

“Do you see stupid written anywhere on my forehead?” She raised her eyebrow.

“What?” I asked her.

“Do I look stupid to you?” She fixed me with a stare as she took out two containers containing spices.

“I don’t know” I shrugged. If she weren’t my mum, I’d have said yes but I don’t have the guts to say that.

“Olivia Marinette Henderson!”

“Yes momma” I smirked mischievously.

“Anyways, I don’t have anything to say to you as of now” She said as she pulled out some other spices.

“I also don’t have anything to say to you concerning that soup you’re about making cause I’m not sure it’s for me” She rolled her eyes at me.

“You’re grounded for a lifetime” She said jokingly.

“I don’t think so mum, what if you die” Wait for it……

“Olivia Marinette Henderson! Do you wish me dead?” She yelled on top of her voice.

“It depends” I winked playfully.

“You’re so grounded” She said playfully.

“Okay mum, if that makes you happy” I laughed.

“By the way, what’s in that box you’re carrying?” She said as her eyes travelled to the box that’s now back in my possession.

“A gift” I told her.

“What kind of gift?” She eyed me wearily.

“A gift I know nothing about until I open it, see ya!” I ran out of the kitchen before she could question me further.
