Saved by the Bad Boy

Chapter Eight

Recap

"Thanks for being so nice to my sister, she has trouble communicating with new people, and you're the first person I've seen her talk to normally." He had a slight grin on his face. He ran back upstairs, and I heard the water faucet for the bathtub turn on and Hannah splashing the water causing Dylan to laugh. I never thought I would mom see this side of Dylan...and I really nlike it.

"She's asleep now," he said sitting beside me on the couch.

"Dylan..." I asked nervously.

"Yeah..." he said confused.

"Where are your parents, if you don't mind me asking."

"No it's okay, my parents are divorced, and my mother is a fashion designer and my father is a international lawyer, so I never see them...and Hannah stays at my grandmothers house, and comes here every two or three days..." he said looking down at the ground.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have ask---"

Just then Dylan looked deeply into my eyes and....

Chapter Eight

...he got up quickly and ran outside. Why did he get up so suddenly, I thought he was going to kiss me...but I knew it was too good to be true, I mean who would really like anyone like me?

Dylan's pov

Riley is so beautiful, inside and out...and I know that I like her a lot. I mean she's so sweet, especially with my sister, but she's also is sarcastic and has a good sense of humor...and she's a great kisser. I can't stop staring at her...I want to kiss her so bad. Just as I'm about to, I chicken out and run outside...I don't know why I did that. But, I know she would never like me the way I like her... I mean who would like an asshole like me? I go up into my old treehouse, and just lay down and stare up at the stars. I'm thinking about everything...about Riley, Hannah, my brother, and just then I hear someone walk outside and start to climb up the treehouse.

"Hey...are you okay?" Riley asked. I could tell that I hurt her.

"Yeah, I just needed time to think...about....about everything." I said with my eyes watering. I haven't cried since the day my brother passed away...I block out all of my emotions and I play with girls, and end up breaking their heart, like how mine is...but I can't lose Riley, she means way to much to me and I can't fuck up what we have, even if we'll only ever be a fake couple, or friends.

"Dylan, before you ran out here, what were you going to do?" She was looking down, with a tear streaming down her face...I couldn't see her like this...she can't be crying over me...I'm not worth it.

"I was going to kiss you..."

Just then Riley pulled me up by my shirt, and smashed our lips together...fireworks jolted through me, and I pulled her closer to me, up into the treehouse. We eventually stopped, and we just gazed into each others eyes, with our red swollen lips, by yours truly.

"So..." she said nervously. Shit what did I do.

"Ril- Shortcake, I was wondering if you would go to the winter formal with me."

"Oh, I assumed we were going together since we are "dating." She said putting air quotes around dating.

"Shortcake, I think we both know that this isn't fake anymore..." I said smirking at her pulling her close.

"Well what is it then," she asked giggling. She sounds so cute when she giggles.

"Shortcake, will you be my girlfriend?"

Riley's pov

"Dylan, before you ran out here, what were you going to do?" I asked him nervously, I knew I was about to be rejected, and I felt a tear stream down my face.

"I was going to kiss you..." Wait, what?!?! Holy shit, I think I'm dreaming, he wasn't about to kiss me, the schools bad boy kissing a nerd, for real this time.

All of my emotions came over me, and I couldn't stop myself now...just then I pulled him by the shirt and kissed him deeply, and he pulled me up into the treehouse. After awhile, we stopped and just gazed into each other's eyes intensely. I could feel to tingly sensation on my lips.

"So..." I said. Why the fuck did I say that, I'm such a dumbass.

"Ri- Shortcake, I was wondering if you would go to the winter formal with me." Oh, since we are fake dating.

"Oh, I just assumed we were going together since we are "dating." I said emphasizing the dating with air quotes.

"Shortcake, I think we both know that this isn't fake anymore..." he said smirking at me and pulling me closer to him. That was the last thing I expected him to say, but I'm not complaining.

"Well what is it then?" I said giggling. Ugh I'm such a nerd.

"Shortcake, will you be my girlfriend?"

I don't know what to say...
