How Bad Could He Be?

Chapter 5

*the picture is of Jen*
~also heads up I changed masons name to miles because I didn't like how mason and Grayson rhymed.~

I arrived in the parking lot of our apartment complex at 7 at night. I was completely exhausted. School had been complete hell and to add to it my car reeked of old Chinese food because I had carelessly forgot it in there the night before.

The sun had already set and light rain continuously tapped against the windshield.
I still hadn't talked to Miles because I wasn't quite sure what to say. That I was afraid of the person he was becoming, that I wasn't sure how much longer I could take this?

I knew he wasn't ready to hear that and I didn't think I was either. I truly did love Miles, he had his moments. Moments where I would fall for him all over again.

When I entered the apartment, to my surprise I found Grayson and Miles siting in the living room talking.

Miles jumped to his feet and came up to me as soon as he saw it was me.

"Hi baby." He said in an excited tone while wrapping me up into a hug and planting a kiss on my forehead.

This was the Miles that I had fallen for months ago. Sweet, caring, sober Miles.

"Hey babe." I said cheering up because he was actually himself tonight. Which was rare for him so I tried to soak in it while it lasted.

"How was your day, honey?" Grayson chimed in from the living room.

I just rolled my eyes at him and brought my focus back to Miles who had ready took a seat on the barstool by the kitchen.

"So you weren't in class today?" I integrated as I poured myself a glass of water.

"Yeah well I was pretty worn out this morning so I decided not to go," he rubbed the back of his neck as he talked. Something he always did when he felt nervous or under pressure, "but I came over in hopes that you could be my tutor tonight." He shot a wink at me.

"Uh-huh I bet." I teased. I felt my cheeks begin to heat up, this side of Miles always brought out my inner school girl.

Grayson made a gaging sound as he watched us interact.

"Please god just put me out of my misery now." He wailed as he dropped to his knees.

Laughter erupted from Miles and I. Grayson could be funny, I'll give that to him.

We all found ourselves talking in the living room eating some top ramen that I had quickly fixed up for the three of us.

It was actually enjoyable. Grayson was being somewhat civil and Miles was being himself.

"So where's Jen at?" I questioned when the conversation hit a lull.

"She's on a date." Grayson responded flatly before picking up on his and Miles conversation about trucks again.

"Oh with Brody?" I rudely interrupted.

"Yeah." He responded coldly.

"I wonder why she didn't tell me." I thought out loud.

"Maybe because she didn't want to play 20 questions." The irritation in his voice had grown.

I looked up to give him a glare only to find that his icy, cold eyes were already locked on mine.

I squirmed under his vicious stare. I hated how uncomfortable he made me feel and he knew what he doing because I saw a slight smile threatening to pull at his mouth.

"I, uh need to go change." I stuttered as I made a beeline for my room.

Miles stood as I did and followed me into my room, closing the door behind us.
We could both hear Grayson making fake gaging sounds outside of the room.

"He's so stupid." I shook head and began searching for comfy clothes.

"Who cares." Before I knew it Miles had made his way over to me and was holding me from behind.

"I'm sorry." He whispered in my ear.

"For what?" I knew exactly what he was apologizing for but I wanted him hear say it.

He spun me around so we were face to face. A serious, sad look spread across his face.
"I'm sorry for being such a jackass. I'm sorry for putting you in situations where you feel uncomfortable. You honestly mean the world to me and I just couldn't imagine loosing you." His tone low but I could hear the vulnerability the lingered in it.

We stood in silence for a long time just looking at each other.

His pleading eyes begged for me to forgive him but I just wanted to make him feel as vulnerable as I felt last night.

"Lidia?" He questioned after several minutes had passed.

I stared at him for a moment longer taking in his childish, scared state before reached up and planting a kiss on his lips.
I felt as smile tugged at his lips but he continued to keep his connected with mine.

"Need some help changing." He chuckled as he began to tugged on the bottom of shirt.

I didn't resist him this time. This was the Miles that I loved . I didn't know how long this would last but for right now it was perfect and that's all I could ask.

We found our way to the bed and plopped on to it. This time his weight was gentler and didn't make me want to squirm away.

As soon as I got his shirt over his head, there was a knock at the door.

"What?" I shouted irritably.

"Lid, can I come in?" A sweet voice rung out from the other side.

"Yeah umm hold on, Jen." I said quickly.
My eyes met Miles's and I saw the disappointment that they held.

"Stay with me tonight." I whispered before pecking him on the cheek.

"Alright if you insist." He teased, putting his shirt back on and handing me mine.

I opened the door to find a red eyed Jen leaning against door frame with Grayson holding her shoulder.

My eyes darted for Grayson's and gave him a questioning look.

"She's going to need some girl time." He said removing his hand from her shoulder.

"Jenny what happened?" I said in an almost motherly tone.

The tears began rushing even hard down her face and she let out a long wail while wrapping her arms around me.

"I'm going to wait out in the living room." Miles walked out of the room quickly.

Grayson still waited by the door watching his sister like a hawk. Worry looked good on him.

"We need to talk alone." Jen wailed slamming the door in Grayson's face.

We sat on my bed and didn't talk. I just let her cry in my arms until my shoulder was soaked with her tears.

Finally the number of tears began to lessen and I took it as my chance to figure out what was going on.

"What happened Jen? Is it Brody?" I asked concerned.

"It was one time, Lid. We thought it would be perfectly fine. But it's not perfectly fine! I don't know what I'm going to do!" The persistent tears returned.

"What are you talking about Jen? I said pulling her back so I could see her face.

"Lidia.... I'm pregnant." She whimpered.
