The Bad Boy's love

Chapter five-I think that I would make a rather excellent apple

I reach for the huge jar of nutella streching my petite form as far as I can. It's no use. The jar stands there in all it's glory taunting me with it's delicousness.I jump up onto the work-surface praying that my clumsiness wont kick in and that I will be able to get my Nutella without sustaing any injuries.I stand up holding the cupboard handle for support.My hand reaches out.It's inches away from the nuttella.Just a little further.

DING DONG

The door bell rings making me jump so violently that I topple from the work surface onto the hard floor beneath me.I feel like screaming in frustration.Actually I feel like that squirrel of ice-age,Scrat or whatever, when he's on his never-ending journey to reach his acorn.I sit up rubbing my but before getting up to open the door.I pull it open curious of who it might be. Probably Lexi or Taylor.My eyes do not connect with Taylor's forest green ones nor do they connect with Lexi's icy blue ones. No they connect with a chest.A gorgeously weel-toned chest I must say.My eyes follow the chest up to see Alec Lucas looking down on me. Amusement written on his bad-ass little face.

"Uh-why are you here?"I ask confused.

"Well Hoppy,"Good God why Hoppy?"We have this thing called our project that we need to finish by the end of the week."Alec says a in a duh tone.

"Holy pretzels! I totally forgot!" I screech.

"How could you forget me?"Alec asks smirking at my obvious distress.

I ignore his comment but instead think of something else "Alec I thought you were a Bad Boy. Why would you be so bothered about a piece of homework?"I ask confused.

He smirk deepens but he widens his eyes innocently."There isn't a rulebook for being Badass and besides Hoppy I would do one hundred pieces of homework if ot meant getting to spend more time with you!"

I roll my eyes,hating the blush that creeps up my cheeks at his words.I swing the door open wider and he steps inside looking around nochalantly.I walk back into the kitchen suddenly remembering the nutella."Could you get that down for me?"I ask Alec pointing to the nutella.

He shakes his head "Nu-uh.Hoppy if I do every thing for you when will you learn to do things for your self?"He says putting his hand on his heart

.I send him a little glare before trying to climb back on the kitchen surface.I follow my earlier actions standing up precariously, again grabbing the cupboard handle. This is it. The moment of truth.I breathe through my nose.Focus runs through my viens as I stretch my fingers out.Nearly there now.Come on Hope.I'm closing the gap between me and my true love now.A couple more centimetres and the nutty goodness will be all mine.

"Boo!"Alec yells in my ear making me jump up in fright. Typically I lose my balence. I preare my self to come into contact with the hard ground but instead two muscular arms wrap around my waist,saving me from the wrath of the kitchen floor.I look up and am instantly lost in the stormy blue eyes that can only belong to Alec. My own eyes plore into him. from his strong jaw to his messy chocolate brown hair that I really want to run my fingers through.

"You done checking me out  Hoppy?"Alec asks sounding amused.

His words snap me out of my trance, bringing me back down to earth with a thud. This is Alec Lucas we're talking about.The notourious Bad Boy and player.I struggle out of his arms ignoring the cold feeling that sets in when his body loses contact with mine.

One hour later I am layed on my garden lawn laughing so hard that my stomach hurts. Alec is layed next to me in the exact same state. We had worked on the project for a while but that quickly got boring so Alec suggested we play dares. For some unknown reason to man I had agreed. Alec had gone first daring me to knock on my next door neighbours door then shout "I can't believe you broke up with me over the phone!"
