Teach me how to love

Chapter eight

My sugar daddy

Skye's PoV

Wherever you go, whatever you do. I'll be right there, waiting for you.

I drummed my manicured finger nails on the glass table top, and let out a sigh. Looking at the wall clock above my head, I figured out that Ryder was half an hour late. Even the waitress noticed that I had been stood up. She had walked past me countless of times, giving me looks of pity and annoyed that I hadn't ordered anything to eat.

"He'll be here in a minute", I promised her, taking a sip of my second bright pink cocktail. I could feel the alcohol going to my head very slowly. I had also noticed that some of the people, who were sat down enjoying their meal, had noticed that I had been stood up. Some gave me sympathetic looks, others smiled, thinking this was hilarious.

The restaurant door flew open, I saw a flushed and out of breath looking Ryder, the boy who has kissed me for a dare, at the swimming pool. His eyes moved frantically around the room, and they stopped on mine. There was a look of relief and embarrassment.

He rushed over to me, much to the annoyance of the door man. People raised their heads, as he rushed past, making his way towards me. His hair was damp from the rain, sticking to his flushed, red forehead. "Omg, I am so sorry... Um....um", he clicked his fingers, trying to remember what my name was.

"Skye", I said, angrily rising from my chair. It scrapped across the floor, and nearly fell over. I gathered my bag and drained my drink. My head started to spin, from the sudden intake of lots of alcohol.

Confusion covered Ryder's face. "What are you doing?" I started to move around the table.

I looked up at him in frustration. "Well, what does it look like? It's obvious that you didn't want to be here, as you are half an hour late." I began to walk towards the door, but strong, rough hands grabbed my arms. He tried to turn me around to look at his face.

"Look it wasn't my fault ok", Ryder tried to keep his voice low, as we were grabbing the attention of all the customers. "My grandfather was taken to hospital, a few hours ago. And time just flew by me." Tears started to fill his eyes.

My face dropped of all anger and betrayal. "Oh, Ryder. I'm so sorry." I pulled him outside of the restaurant, just under the roof so we wouldn't get wet. And from the prying eyes of the nosy customers. I pulled him into a warm tight hug, and felt his sobs against my body. He wrapped his big arms around me.

His tears started to soak my coat, but I didn't care. We stood in each others embrace, until Ryder pulled away. I wiped the tears away from his swollen eyes. Since we had been standing in each others arms, the rain had stopped, leaving small puddles scattered across the path.

"I'm sorry for..." Ryder started, putting his hand on my cheek. But I put my finger to his lips.

"Don't. I know. I know", I smiled up at him. We both stood there staring at each other. After a few minutes, I lowered my hand.

"I'm being an awful sugar daddy. I look like such a pussy", Ryder said, lowering his eyes. I widened mine in shock.

I took a step back. "What do you mean? I know that your a sugar daddy, but..." I frowned up at him.

"Well, you signed up to be my sugar baby", he said, confusion also written over his face. He stared into my baby blue eyes, waiting for me to remember.

"No I didn't. Why would I...?" Realisation suddenly entered my voice. Anger traveled through my body. "Crystal", I whispered to myself.

"What did you say?" Ryder asked, obviously not hearing what I had said.

"My so-called best friend, found your website, and must have sighed me up to you", I raised my hand to my head in frustration and turned away from the figure in front of me. "God, she's such a bitch."

A chuckle escaped Ryder's lips. "So that explains why you were so confused." I shivered as a cold breeze, blew through my body. Ryder had obviously noticed this. "Hey, you look freezing. Let's go back to my place and talk about this."

I nodded, as he draped an arm around my shoulders. His body heat started to warm me up. Just a little.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I threw myself on the soft sofa, as Ryder lit the fire in front of us. My eyes flickered to his arse, as it filled my vision. It could be a bit bigger, I though. And those trousers could be a bit tighter. My eyes flew to his face, as he turned around. He smirked, obviously catching my eyes on his bum.

"So, why did you become a sugar daddy then", I tried to ask seriously. I felt the sofa dip, as he sat on the sofa with me, draping some of the blanket I had on me, onto his body.

A laugh escaped Ryder's lips, as he smiled fondly of the memory. "Well, actually. It wasn't me who signed up for it. My best friend Ellie did it. She did it for a laugh, but then I started getting lots of requests. None of the girls on there seemed worth the money. So I waited for the right girl."

"And you think that I'm the right girl?" I asked, taking a sip of my hot chocolate and marshmallows. The hot liquid warmed my insides up.

"Well, you seem very pretty and a bundle of fun", he looked down at me, and I blushed. "And I thought, well might as well give it a go."

"And you think that I'm worth all the money and time?" I asked him further, snuggling a little bit closer to him. I still felt cold. He sighed in satisfaction.

"Well, yeah", he blushed, drinking his hot chocolate. "Let's play a game." I rose my eyebrow in surprise.

"What sort of game?" I giggled, looking up at him.

"If you don't fall in love with me over the course of this year, then you win. And I will be out of your life, if you really want me to, and you can forget all about me.

I frowned. "Well that sounds easy, what's the prize for you?"

"But if you do, then I get to keep you and do whatever I want with you, for the rest of your life."
