cross my heart

3- the aftermath

my eyes flutter open and i'm met with an extremely muscular back sitting on the edge of the bed, he stands up and walks into what i'm assuming is his ensuite. i hear the shower running so i take the chance to put on some clothes and grab some coffee, i chuck on his shirt and start to walk downstairs and i'm met with a tall, blond figure sitting at the table, facing away from me. hearing me approach, he turns around.

"shit, you scared me"

he says. and my face drops when i realise who it is.

"trevor"

i stand there in shock not knowing what to do, so i run back upstairs but because i'm not looking where i'm going i bump into the mystery hookup.

"y/n what the fuck are you doing here? did you really screw my cousin just to get back at me?"

he snaps at me. seeing him half naked and me in his top. i can tell he's just jealous but his tone i

cousin?

"you two dated?"

the mystery man asks.

"yes rylan, we did and she's clearly using you to get revenge on me, we broke up yesterday! you know what y/n that's okay. i'm glad your finding a way to cope after your dramatic reaction to me leaving you"

he says in a sarcastic tone, his face smothered with anger. he was practically spitting in my face at this moment.

what the fuck did he say?

"whoa there trev, 1. i don't care if she was using me, she was a great lay 2. never speak to her like that again, and 3. get out of my fucking house"

rylan defends me while gripping my shoulders gently pulling me towards his chest so trevor can't get any closer.

"fine"

trevor storms out and i hear his car pull out of the driveway and screech down the road.

"thank you rylan"

i say to him, glad that i can finally use his name, seeing how i never learnt it yesterday.

"that's okay y/n trevor's never liked me anyways, probably because i've got all the looks in this family. he's just a dick, he always has been and probably always will be"

he smiles at me and walks down to the kitchen, starting to take ingredients out of the cupboard.

"ever had a crespelle?"

he questions me, i shake my head no. he smiles, starting to whip up the batter.

"so seeing as we haven't gotten to bond yet, tell me some things about you"

"well, i'm 22 years old, 23 in december, christmas is my favourite holiday, i've never lived alone, i've always wanted a dog but never got one, i do horse riding once a week on my dad's farm and play basketball in my free time, i used to play in high school but quit when i went to college, i'm a waitress at my local diner but my dream is to be a lawyer, so i'm saving up for law school. okay now it's your go"

i smile at him cheekily while staring intently ready to listen to him

"okay, i'm 24 years old, christmas is also my favourite holiday so we have that in common, i love snakes, i box and work out in my free time, i have since i was 11, i'm a bartender at the moment but my dream is to be a professional boxer"

he smiles and i sit shocked at the fact he had memorised the order i said things, he actually listened to me.

"okay. the crespelles are done, do you like nutella and strawberries?"

i nod and he hands me a plate, he sits down next to me and places his hand on my thigh and says

"buon appetito"

i smile at him and start eating.
