The past three days were quiet between Ryder and myself with him leaving the house before I can wake up everyday but not before he takes my phone, laptop and hides a tracker in my car. I guess it's ok because I use my motorcycle and bought myself a new phone. I messaged Jones and told him to delete the stuff of my phone from his side and to hide any loggings or passwords. At night I try to open Ryders phone and see what I can get but so far its nothing I can report on, bummer.

TODAY

I woke up this morning hearing Ryders voice talking to someone over the phone. I checked my phone to see the time 7:50am. Ryder probably heard me and said:

R: Sometime soon, I'll call you back later she just woke up.

At this moment I really didn't care what he was doing. I got out of bed and grabbed my towel and was about to head into the bathroom until Ryder said something

R: what time will you be home?

A: why? It doesn't have anything to do with you.

R: just answer the fucking question Astrid

A: dunno, maybe 5

R:  be home by 4

A: then why ask me

I headed to the bathroom, had a shower and brushed my teeth, singing while I do it - not caring if I sound good or bad. When I entered the room Ryder was sitting on the bed with his laptop on his lap. I went to my cupboard and grabbed some underwear and a set of clothes but as I closed my cupboard the handle of the cupboard got hooked on my towel and ripped it of me and my  towel fell to the floor. I bent down and picked it up as fast as I could, after I picked it up I turned around and when I did I saw Ryder staring at me with a huge smirk on his face, like I was a piece of meat. I tried to ignore him but I could feel his eyes on me the as I walked to the bathroom to change. After I changed I put on some light makeup and brushed my hair into a high pony. I exited the bathroom and sat on my bed when I realised that Ryder was gone. He probably went to work but I really don't care, anyways I pulled out my phone to check some messages when a reminder pops up that I have a wedding dress appointment for 12 today booked by my soon to be mother-in-law. I can't complain Bella is so sweet I sometime wonder what happened with Ryder. Bella booked the appointment the morning of our engagement party and mentioned to me that she's letting me do this part by myself, which means I can pick my own bridesmaids and my wedding dress by myself. I checked the time and it was 10:45, ok I had enough time to call up Alyssa and Cassie to see if they will come with me.

After I fetched fetched Cassie and Alyssa I drove to the boutique. I told the lady what my dream dress looked like and I told her the colours of the bridesmaids dresses which is teal. I let Cassie and Alyssa pick out there own dresses since they are my best friends and I trust them. After we were happy with the style and fit we picked our shoes and our accessories. After we were done I checked my phone to realise and see the time 16:30pm. Shit Ryders gonna kill me. I opened my phone expecting to be hundreds of missed calls and messages but the only thing I had was 1 missed call and a message. I opened the message from Ryder to see.

THE DEVIL HIMSELF

Astrid, call me when you are on your way home - Delivered @ 16:15

I showed the message to the girls and they said they will get a Uber home. So I said bye to them and got into the car and drove home quite quickly. As soon as I got onto the main road I called Ryder

OUTGOING CALL TO "THE DEVIL HIMSELF

R: Astrid, are you on your way home

A: yeah I am, I'm sorry I'm late things took a little longer than expected. The girls and I were at th-

R: At the bridal shop in Longview I know

A: of course you do. The tracker in my car

R: just come home, and be safe

CALL ENDED

Why was he being so nice, there is definitely something going on, he's never nice. Maybe he just had a change of heart, oh please, animals will learn to talk before he can do that. As I drove home I couldn't wrap around the fact that Ryder was being nice. I didn't know whether it was an act or maybe the devil actually has a heart after all. When I got home I finally realised why he was being nice. I walked into my room to see Ryder playing cards with Carl and Liam. No wonder he was being nice he had to play the role of the "good brother-in-law."

I put down may bags and took a face towel and head towards the bathroom. After I freshened up I exited my room to see the boys playing cards on the dining room table - at least they moved from my room. As I was watching them play I realised that Ryder was not at the table. I looked around to find him and as I did I felt a strong grip on my waist.

R: looking for me love? (Said with a big smile)

Why is he being so nice? It's driving me insane!

A: don't you wish I was. I was just umm uhh stretching

R: hmm Right.

(so I got straight to the point)

A: why are you being so nice?

R: what are you talking about I'm always nice!
