The mermaid hybrid

13. The Real Winter Formal Party

"What the hell are you doing here Brad?",I asked as Brad entered my room through the window in one fluid and graceful movement.

I watched his back as he stretched from cramping himself through my windows.I expected to see a frown on his face but when he turned to face me,there was a sweet smile on his face.

"Why are you smiling at me?",I asked with a scowl.

"Goodday to you too Rikki dearest",He said with a patient smile before sitting on my bed.

His overpowering and intoxicating scent filled the room and his cologne was divine but I was determined not to be swayed.

"What the hell do you want Brad? Should I be glad that Sheila finally let you out of the vicinity of her skimpy mini skirts?",I asked.

"You know...I'm the one who is supposed to be angry not you",He said while making himself very comfortable on my bed and no doubt exposing my delicate silky bedsheets to his lovely scent.

"Then why are you here?",I asked before sighing and sitting on the bed-I made sure to sit as far away from him as possible.

"Please do you think I'm too stupid to figure out that Sheila and Nick set you up",Brad said.

I gasped and asked,"How the hell do you know that? And if you were so smart enough to realise that it was all a set up why didn't you speak to me?",I asked in a hurt voice.

Brad shifted closer to me and held me in his arms.

"Look Rikki I'm sorry...I just wanted to trick Sheila into thinking that I had believed her so that when we go to the winter formal together,her jaw will not be able to rise from the floor...It was the perfect revenge",Brad said.

"If that's so...why didn't you tell me about it?",I asked.

Brad brought his two hands up and held my cheeks while looking intensely into my eyes or my contact lensed eyes.Our faces were only an inch apart and his breath fanned my face letting me take in his warm breath.

"Because I didn't think you will be a convincing liar",He said.

I frowned at him and shifted away from him.

"What the hell?",I stammered as my heart beat frantically in my chest as a result of our close contact.

"So you're nervous around me aren't you?",Brad said in a smiling voice.

I snorted,"Who isn't nervous around you?".

"Oh please Rikki you and I know that thats not why you were nervous,You're just so attracted to me that your heart beats were practically singing a tune when I held your face...So are we still going to the winter formal together?",He asked.

"Jerk...Sure but don't think I'll forgive you for keeping me in the dark?",I said with what I hoped was a very stern frown.

"Will you forgive me if I told you that I also did it because I was jealous?",He said.

"Why will you be jealous?",I said turning to look at him with a shocked look.

Bradley Reagan,Jealous???

Now that was a big surprise.I mean I knew he liked me and all but who could he possibly be jealous of?

"Jealous? Jealous of who?",I asked.

"Jealous of Nick of course? You may not like like him now but I know that he's someone that you can easily fall in love with",Brad said.

I just sat there shocked as Brad continued his explanation.
