When We're Alone

Chapter 9

*Leroy*

It was almost six in the evening, and the boys would be here soon. My papa was going out for the night, but Emily was still here so I couldn't have a party. But that was fine, I wasn't in the party mood.

Me and Hayden had become more friendly with each other. I hated it. She now thinks I see her as a sister, she treats me like a friend or a brother. When I wanted her to treat me like someone she likes. I was afraid she didn't like me anymore.

"Mamacita, I got a couple of guys comin' over yeah." I say bouncing my eye brows at Hayden, and walk into the kitchen.

I walk back to the living room where Hayden was, to second look at what she was wearing. I raise my eyebrow at her, "What?" She asks, furrowing her eye brows.

"What are you wearin'?" I say looking down at her. She was wearing a long top that came just below her bum, covering everything that needed to be covered. But I wasn't going to let her walk around like that with Troy and Elmo around or the other guys.

"My Nighty." She says awkwardly, pulling on the t-shirt to stretch it down more.

"Please change? The boys are goin' to be really inappropriate." I say, not trying to look like I was intrigued by her long legs.

She rolls her eyes and barges past me. I grab her before she goes, "So, do you fake tan or somethin'", I ask looking at those tanned legs of hers that were glowing.

"No... my parents are half Mexican, so I got some sort of colour in me." She says, giving them 'duh' expression. How did I not know that? What else do I not know about her?

"Emily's half Mexican? Since when?" I ask looking flabbergasted. Emily is half Mexican and I didn't know? Did I distance myself from her that much that I didn't know that?

 "Since she was born, stupid." Hayden furrows her eye brow, walking away from me.

Half an hour later all the guys started to come inside, I admit I invited more guys than I planned. "Luis, Juan, Paco, Miguel and Pedro!" I say with a wide grin on my face, while letting them inside. "It's been a long time, brothers." I give them all a hug. I don't really spend much time with my Mexican friends, mainly because they were all in the gang and I wasn't, neither was Elmo.

Elmo followed through, giving me a hug but I push his sorry ass away. A couple minutes later, Troy and a couple of the school guys come. "Whatsup Jake, Craig." I bounce my eye brows, "Troy." I wink, letting them in.

They all walk into the living room and place the beverages they bought on the table.

I introduce all of them to each other and let them bond why they play games. I was going to check on Hayden, Matty and Carlos were at a party, most probably a stoners party.

I knocked on her door a few times, no answer. So I walked in, the room was empty. But then I realise she's in the bathroom because the bathroom door is open and steam is coming out, I also hear light humming.

Casually walking in, looking down at my phone, swiping through my Instagram whilst walking towards her, I stop right after the door.

"Hayden" I say while looking up.

Immediately, I look down when I realise she was naked.

"GET OUT." She screams.

I try running out the bathroom, but end up hitting the walls and losing the grip of my phone which lands on the ground with a loud bang.
