All I want is you and me (A bad boy x Reader Romance)

Chapter four

You froze as the Queen Bee's eyes narrowed on the bastard's icy glare. As if fire and ice were having a staredown right in front of you. Cassie hissed at Ethan "Fuck off and mind your shit trust fund". "Why? Cause I'm the only one with the balls to call you a cunt to your face?" Ethan snipped, you didn't know why he was so pissed and it was scary...but also a bit thrilling. Like watching a lion and a tiger tear each other apart, you knew you should look away and escape while you can...but deep down you want to see the victor.

Cassie huffed crossing her arms and lowering her voice to a dangerous whisper "are you still asshurt about last year?...oh wait it was your stepdad that claimed that ass wasn't it?". You looked up at Ethan who seemed almost completely unaffected by the Queen's deep gash. His eyes however did make contact with yours as he sighed ignoring her. "What is she doing to you?" he said in an almost...caring way. Cassie quipped "none of your fucking business asshat" and Ethan snapped back without even looking back at her. "I wasn't asking you" he gently grabbed your arm,yanking you up to your still shaking knees.

It was like a whiplash, the way he suddenly went from icy bastard to almost...protective. You looked down as his hand gently rubbed your shoulder, the touch so strange yet tender. Cassie held a deadly rage in her eyes as she watched Ethan begin walk you out of the parking lot. "What? Are you gonna find her some other way home? Im her only ride!" Ethan held you tighter to his side as he looked over his shoulder back at Cassie. "Don't worry about it. She's riding with me" you were surprised at his words, his kindness, his...whatever was happening right now. With a hot glare burning into your back before you hear the sound of black mary janes walking away.

"Stop being a pussy and just hop on" Ethan says his eyes still on his phone as he straddles his motorcycle. "I kinda don't want to die!" you shoot back "you don't even know where I live!". A tired huff escapes him and you feel bad for a moment-just a moment. Until you feel a big plastic helmet get lodged at your stomach, barely catching it as Ethan pats the seat behind him. "There ya go pussy, now hop on or im leaving your ass behind" despite the crass words there was a freindliness in his smile.

Slowly you sit behind him, desperately clutching the metal seat behind you as you hear him sigh "it's alright,you can hang onto me...you'll fall off if you don't". You didn't exactly know why but you felt a tingling deep in your stomach as you stretched your arms out to wrap around his torso. Surprised at how firm..yet warm he was, the leather jacket and t-shirt he wore feeling quite nice against your still shaky arms. Soon enough however you felt the rumble of the engine beneath you as the bike began moving, causing an embarrassing squeak to escape you. You felt Ethan huff out a silent...chuckle?

The bike stopped at the school entrance onto the road, still rumbling beneath the two of you he turns his head. "Do you know your address?" you nod a little embarrassed and scared he'll judge you for being on the "poor side" of town...not that you care what this asshole thinks anyway!

"Embergrove apartments...you know where that is?" he nods as he begins to pull out of the parking lot, surprisingly slowly and starts to cruise on the road. There's nothing but the road, and the cool autumn sunset as the two of you go less then 25 through the surprisingly empty town. "Why are we going so slow?" you ask, remembering the way he had whipped out of the gas station just that morning. He shrugs "You seem scared, the last thing I need is you freaking out on me". Puffing your cheeks and squeezing him tighter you quip "I can take it, I wanna make it home before tomorrow afterall". He scoffs again "I dunno, you don't exactly seem like the type to handle it". Annoyed you quip "neither do you, fucking 90s edgelord looking ass-" "alright alright" he interupts you to your annoyance. You can't tell if it's your persistence or his curiosity that has his mind changed. "I cruise down these streets all the time, and I don't do it with company. So if you're just trying to be cocky or some shit you can just cut it out here and I can take you home". You know yo really shouldn't but the words leave your lips before you can stop them. "Just do it edgelord" You can barely see the side of his face, but it seems to curl into a smirk.
