Bad Boys Girl

Chapter 5

^Ari^

     I dressed comfortably after last night, I got knocked out cold, it saved me the pain from the beating though. I hopped out my window in my lazy outfit, which consisted of maroon joggers with my white crop top and a black hoodie, with my hair everywhere in its curly glory, and hopped down from the overhang. I slung my bag over my shoulder and trekked towards the bookstore where my friend Ari worked, she was a complex entirely. She was a daughter of a local butcher but was entirely vegetarian, her family was Christian, and she writes pentagrams everywhere they can  fit in her room, she only does it out of spite though. I pushed the door open,"Ari! Its me, Rayne!" I called out as I took a seat on my favorite window seat."Hey babe! How was your little day date with mr. Bad boy himself huh?" She teased as she stepped out with her hair in a ratted mess in her uniform, red apron with a black skirt and maroon button up, but she made it look good trust me. "Who told you I was out with Aaron?" I questioned while squinting my eyes at her,"Nobody, just heard it around SCHOOL!" She said while squealing, "W-What?! SCHO-? What!!" I threw up my hands in exasperation, "You should have seen Caitlyn's face, priceless lemme tell ya!" She bent over laughing, I just frowned,"Go to work I'm going to take a nap, I couldn't really sleep at all last night.." I admitted distractedly,"Did he hurt you again?" She asked softly and I unzipped my hoodie to show her my bruises on my collar bone and forearms, she glared and said crude things under her breath.
   "I hate him! He can go burn in hell for all I care!" She spat and stomped off to her little counter,"Of he does anything else I'm calling you cops whether you like it or not babe!" She said threateningly, I shook my head,"Then I'll go into foster care and I'd have to leave you!" I said throwing my hands for emphasis, she sighed and nodded and started getting the store ready for opening. I grabbed one of the emergency blankets from the back and a throw pillow from one of the recliners and curled up on one of the large sofas in the back. I groaned because I was laying on my bruises so I just leaned back and let my head lull back on the back of the couch. I slowly felt my eyes drift shut and welcomed to comfort of sleep.
-2 hours later-
Aaron's P.O.V
  
     I pulled up to the little bookstore and stopped in for a cup of coffee, as I did I spotted a familiar bag on the front window seat. I smirked and picked it up, I went to the front desk and noticed a dirty blonde chick wiping down the coffee tables and I cleared my throat to get her attention. She turned and jumped a little,"Um, yes?" She asked unsure, I held up the bag a little,"Was there a girl in her by the name of Rayne?" She smirked a little,"Yeah, babes in the back sleeping." She said mischievously, I smirked back at her,"Babe? You guys friends or something?" She smiled before turning back to her cleaning. "Have been for over 7 years." She looked at me and smiled again," I have a feeling that we're going to see a lot of each other then, um.." I looked at her name tag,"Arianna." She glared at me pointedly,"Ari, never say my full name, just ew." She turned back around,"And I already know your name Aaron." I nodded,"I'm just gonna go find Ray now." I said smiling at her and heading towards the back of the little store.
    I spotted her leaning back on the couch breathing evenly and I thought it's probably not that comfortable, so I sat down next to her and pulled her into me lap. She sighed and curled up with her head on my thigh. I played with her crazy curls while I let her sleep before i started feeling feeling a little tired as well. I leaned against the arm of the couch and pulled her up against me as I felt her press against my chest I then felt my eyelids flutter shut.
-Ari's P.O.V-

      I walked to the back for my break when I saw two forms curled up on the one of the back sofas, I smirked at the two beings. I went to Rayne's bag and pulled out her Galaxy S5 and snapped two pics and put them as wallpapers. I smiled at my accomplishments and put the fluffy emergency blanket over both of them, "Aw, she's gonna kill me." I said sweetly to myself.
