My Life with the Richards Family

My Life with the Richards Family: Chapter 10 ❤

We reach the bottom floor and jump in Sawyer's black Mercedes. It has black heated leather seats and a put down roof. Sawyer keeps it down which makes my hair fly everywhere.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"We are going to get something to eat." he replies with his famous smirk.

"K." I say smiling.

We pull into the Starbucks parking lot and sit there in the silence. Before I can say anything Sawyer places his finger under my chin and pulls my face gently to face him. We sit there and stare at each other not saying anything. He leans in and whispers in my ear, "Are we going?"

"Yes Richards we are." I say laughing and getting out if his car.

He follows me and wraps right arm around me waist and pulls me closer to his warm body. We walk into Starbucks and I see a very familiar face. Skylar O'Connor.

"Sawyer." I say burying my face in his shirt.

"What's wrong?" he asks stopping and looking down at me.

"Skylar is here."

"It will be ok, she won't get close to you."

"Promise?"

"Promise." he says as I take me face out of his shirt.

We walk over to the counter and I order a cotton candy frappuccino and Sawyer get a regular coffee. We sit down at the farthest table away from Skylar and her clan. Sawyer didn't want me to cover up the huge black and blue mark Skylar left on me because he said it wasn't noticeable. But it totally is.

"So this weekend mom wants to go shopping with you and I heard you wanted me to come with you guys." he asks smirking.

"Yep, do you wanna come?" I ask nervous if the answer.

"Of course! I'm glad you asked."

"Well no problem." I say taking a sip of my frappuccino.

"Tomorrow is Friday so when do you wanna go to the mall?"

"Saturday because I can't wait to go." I reply.

"Ok perfect. Do you wanna leave now?"

"Sure." I say standing up and walking over to Sawyer.

We walk out of the coffee shop just as we walked in.

FRIDAY

I wake up to the sound of a raspy voice. I look up with my vision still blurry to see Nathan standing next to my bed. I rub my eyes and sit up in bed.

"Morning sleepy head." he says chuckling to himself.

"Morning." I say yawning.

"Well it's 7 o'clock and we leave at quarter after 8. So you better start getting ready."

"K thanks." I say as he walks out of my room closing the door behind him.

I reach over and grab my phone of the bedside table. I don't have any texts or anything which is good. I roll out of bed and go to the bathroom. After I take a quick hot shower I blow dry my hair. After my hair is completely dry I brush my teeth and hair. I decide to straighten my hair and put it up in a messy ponytail with a side braid. I get dressed in dark washed jeggings with rips in them, a grey superman crew neck sweater, red canvas shoes, and a grey SWAG SnapBack. It's now 7:30 so I decide that I will go find Sawyer and see what he's up to.

The elevator doors open on the 3 floor. I walk up to Sawyer's door and knock 3 times. I stand there patiently waiting for the door to open but it doesn't. So I leave and go down to the kitchen where he probably is if he isn't in his room. I step into the kitchen and Hayden instantly comes up and hugs me around my waist.

"Hey chicky!" I say hugging her back.

"Hi Blake" she replies going back to her breakfast.

"Where is Sawyer? Have you seen him?"

"Yeah he was in here a second ago but I'm not sure where he went."

"Oh ok thanks hay-" my sentence was cut of my big warm arms engulfing me in a huge hug from behind.

"Guess who?" I mystery person said.

"Umm... let me think. Could it be Ryan?" I reply with a chuckle.

"Nope it's your favourite."

"You are my favourite Sawyer." I say turning around to see his famous smirk plastered on his face.

"Oh Blake and Sawyer sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Hayden sings.

Sawyer and I turn to each other and instantly start busting out laughing. Sawyer finally lets me go even though I didn't really want him to- and gets both of us breakfast. We have bacon, eggs and a glass of orange juice. Nathan comes walking into the kitchen whistling and carrying his keys.

"Ok people lets jet." he says handing me my book bag.

"Ok let's go." I say following him and sawyer out the front door.

The first 3 periods weren't to bad. I had 1 hour of biology and a half hour of math. Sawyer mets me outside my math class -like always- and walks with me to the cafeteria to meet up with Ky, Rylan and Caden. we reach the cafeteria and Sawyer instantly holds me close to him. I wonder what's up. We find the boys and sit down with them. We are laughing and carrying on and then Ky asks me something.

"What happened to your cheek?" Ky asks.

I look at Sawyer with worried eyes and he doesn't say anything.

"Well guys I have something to say that you can't tell anyone." I reply leaning in so the people around don't hear.

"Ok." Caden says.

"Yesterday when I went to the bathroom with Skylar she kinda punched me... twice."

"Where is she I'm going to kill her." Rylan and Ky say in unison.

"No guys don't worry about it it's nothing."

"Nothing? Your cheek is all black and blue Blake."

"I know but just don't do anything about it unless I ask please." I beg.

"Ok." Ky says sounding disappointed.

The rest of the day went fine. We all ate lunch together and Skylar didn't bother me once! Which is perfect. Sawyer doesn't have volleyball practice today so he came home with Me and Nathan which made it way less awkward. We get home to Valerie is waiting for us in the kitchen.

"Hey Val." I say hugging her.

"Hey when do you guys wanna go shopping?" She asks letting go.

"Umm... Sawyer and I were thinking about going tomorrow. But Valerie can I ask you a question? In private."

"Sure honey." she says motioning Sawyer and Nathan away.

"I was wondering if Sawyer and I could just go to the mall?"

"Of course honey and trust me he has good fashion sense."

“Ok thank you so much Val!” I say hugging her again and running up to my room.

          I get to my room and text Leah right away.

“OMG! Guess what?” the text reads.

“What happened?” She replies.

“Valerie is letting me go to the mall with Sawyer. Just us! J”

“OMG! I’m so jealous! But I know you have been waiting.”

“Yeah I have been. Can’t wait to go. But ttyl gtg talk to Sawyer <3”

“Bye gurlllll!” She replies as I take the elevator down to the third floor.
