Loving The Bad Boy

Chapter 5

"Smelly, smelly." I hear someone say as they shake me. "Smelly."

I squeeze my eyes tightly, snuggling deeper into my blankets.

"Hmm? What? No." I groan trying to get the person to stop shaking me so I can go back to sleep.

"Smelly, pwease wake up." They say still shaking me.

I turn over and open my eyes to find Sophie standing at the edge of my bed with a huge smile on her face.

"Good morning Soph." I say with a smile.

"Smelly!!" She yells in excitement as she jumps on my bed.

Sophie's always called me smelly since she was able to talk. When she was younger she couldn't pronounce the T and ever since, that's been my name for her.

I know a little strange to have Smelly as a nickname.

"Guess what?"

"What?" I ask as I sit up.

"It's-"

"Your birthday!" I yell, cutting her off as I reach over to tickle her.

She laughs, rolling around on my bed.

"Yep, I'm 5 I'm a big girl." She says once I let go of her.

"You sure are."

"Are we gonna go to the mall?"

"Yes, just let me get ready okay?"

"Okay." She smiles, jumping off my bed, running out of my room and down the stairs.

"Buzz, Buzz." My phone vibrates on the nightstand.

Emily- "Hey you wanna meet up and get a smoothie?"

Stella- "I'm taking Sophie to the mall it's her birthday remember? Lol, but we can meet up at Pizza Parlor in the mall and grab a smoothie on the way? "

Emily- "Oh yeah duh, lmao and sounds good to me! :)"

Stella- "Ok, pick you up in 10."

Emily- "See you then."

*****

"He's just so amazing." Emily says as we walk through the mall to Pizza Parlor with our smoothies and Sophie holding my left hand inbetween me and Emily.

"I told you, you like him."

"Oh, Stel it's more than like." She says sarcastically as if playing out a part of a romance movie.

I laugh so hard I almost drop my smoothie. I stand up straight regaining my composer and smile.

"Yes, you were right." She says with a smirk, rolling her eyes.

I stick my tongue out at her.

"Knew it." I say with a smile as we walk into Pizza Parlor.

"Hi lady's, what can I get you?" The cashier lady ask once we reach the counter.

I glance up at the menu before meeting her gaze. "Um-yes can I get a kids cheese pizza, and a small pepperoni pizza?" I ask with a smile.

"Is that all?" She ask with a smile.

"I would also like a small pepperoni please." Emily adds.

"And three sprites." I say.

"14.57." The cashier says as I hand her my money.

"We will have your order out as soon as possible." She says, placing the money into the cash register.

"Thank you." I say with a smile and turn to find our seats.

"We have to stop meeting like this."

I turn to see Tanner and his crew, (which includes Tyler and half the football team), all sitting in a booth beside us.

"Not you." I say with a playful roll of eyes.

"Yes me, honey." He winks, "What are you doing here on such a lovely day?" He ask sarcastically with a smirk.

I shake my head at him, "Eating pizza, the only reason why I would come here, and it's my sisters birthday." I respond in the same sarcastic tone, pointing to Sophie whose standing in the seat of the booth staring at Tanner and all his friends.

He sits back in his booth crossing his arms, "Someone's fiesty." He says, smirking.

I roll my eyes, and look back to Emily.

I then see Emily's eyes move to behind me, and soon feel someone's breath on my neck, "I can fix that for you baby." He whispers in my ear as his warm breath hits my neck and sends shivers down my spine. I sit up straight trying to keep myself together.

I turn around, our faces only a centimeter apart, "Only in your wildest dreams, Lively."

We sit there for a few more seconds before his eyes leave mine and travel to my lips. I turn around quickly trying to hide the color in my cheeks.

He sits up straight chuckling and turning back to his friends.

"What the hell was that?" Emily ask.

"Hey language Soph's around-" I snap "-and nothing." I say as I take a seat in the booth.

I knew I was lying and I knew she could tell and no matter what I was feeling I couldn't let this happen.

What I was feeling? Couldn't let this happen?

Oh. My. God. I think I like Tanner Lively.

Well that it is a little too soon to say, I just started actually tolerating the guy.
