Deal Gone Wrong

Trouble

Tired and hungry I drag my feet to my bed after a shower. I flopped down until Shaun's cologne hit my nose it was getting late. I'll wash it tomorrow. My mom had a business meeting somewhere far away. She did leave a voicemail and text messages explaining what I did was wrong. My punishment was added to her agenda. Of course, I can be more like a sister speech.

My dad just said I'm happy to know you are living like a teenager. it is important but blah blah what's wrong and right? At least that's what his assistant emailed me so I knew it wasn't him.

Leyla just popped into my room looking around searching for clues like a detective alarmed I sat up

"May I help you?"

"I was supposed to have a visitor the other day"

Now she remembers!!! I wasn't freaking out I was but I had to keep my cool 😱 .

"Good for you?"

She turned and now stared daggers at me

Shit, she knows I'm dead she won't like Shaun and his going to run his mouth exposing our secret.

"He never showed up though I thought he was different at least I was expecting him to be "

She sighed lying on my bed next to me with Shaun's sent still present, just when I thought I was in the clear.

"You were drunk maybe you sent him the wrong address"

"Nope I told him right I re-read messages "

"Have you two..??"

I asked so I could drop all interest I had with Shaun for good and treat him as my imaginary friend when I was 3 he was there but no one could see me talking to him or they would think I was crazy

"I wish but his different he just wants to hang out and that's it he didn't even kiss me. I don't know what to do. I never met a guy who keeps his hands to himself. They only use them to make me feel like as if I was his most cherished possession and honestly a bit boring but it is different unlike Mario"

She looked down smiling I scooted closer now intrigued by the conversation she sat up still smiling

"Why are you smiling?"

"Well Mario and I have been hanging out ...you know "

No, I don't know

"What do you mean?"

"We danced at last night's party and..." she squealed hiding her face behind a pillow

I yanked the pillow off her face

"And?!!"

"Oh nothing he didn't seem into me either but he does smile so sexy flirting expert but Shaun has those eyes and is different ...I want different but I saw all three of you tal...."

"Yearbook assignment! " I quickly explain too fast making her scrounge her nose in suspicious

"Theirs something about Mario..."

"I know goodbye I invited Shaun to a party today. She says walking out my bedroom door.

"Bye?"

"The night is young " she yells her outfit was a tiny shiny gold number.

Wow, she's really into him and I might pull through with them going out. Maybe I do need to be more like her. Just to experience the type of touch she described. I didn't want to hear what I already knew. I changed the subject for my sake... I'm done with whatever allergic reaction I was having around him.

"So was that bear from him?"

"Yes!!" She squealed jumping off my bed and grabbing onto the necklace around her neck so I could ask her about it but I already knew.

"And the necklace too?"

"Yes its beautiful and pink "

"So why don't you date him already ?" that came out a bit more b!tchy than I intended

"He seems more like your type?"

"How would you know what my type is? It's not like I have dated"

"His clothes are like yours worn out and he seems nice and good?"

"Then his perfect for you I mean don't you think you deserve that good?"

"Yeah I guess you are right...maybe anyway I'm going to stay over at Macy's and I'm sorry for today but I'll tell you where my mom hid your skateboard to make it up to you"

My eyes widen like opening a brand new pack of cookies looking all glorious yum

"I forgive you then now tell me"

"I saw her head to the garage with it i think it is behind Dad's toolbox"

"Thanks, I'm sorry for your teddy bear"

"The necklace is what counts so were ok so see yah the day after tomorrow"

"Alright" I sigh knowing I was going to be by myself again.

"Hey don't guilt me into staying you can go out you just don't"

She left after that she's right but where can I go my only friends are grounded their parents aren't fond of me and there not scared to send me off.

I shrugged and decided to listen to music. I plugged in my headphones and let Taylor Swift's most addicting song to me right now Trouble and headed downstairs to start my spaghetti meal. I took out the flour to start my garlic bread i followed every instruction from the internet and placed them in the oven while I cooked my spaghetti .

Well, I knew not to follow those instructions again. I thought as they fell flat but still cooked through as soon I placed them on the counter to cool off. I wasn't going to enjoy my spaghetti with this disappointment.

Something caught my attention well someone right on cue Taylor sang "I knew you were trouble when you walked in",making me laugh I took off my headphones

"What's so funny ?" Shaun asked now leaning on the counters next to me waisting no time to check my outfit out . I did the same black Metalica Band TShirt doing nothing to hide what underneath.

I forgot how late it must have been. The agreement I unplugged my head phones out of my Phone and let the song ring across my empty house making him chuckle.

I rolled my eyes when I noticed I was wearing a long shirt that was up to my knees so it's decent

"I didn't think you would show up to a freak's house"

I said remembering what he called me in the cafeteria . He he jumps on the counter this time. I turn to face him. His face didn't change from stern that's when I notice his well chizzeled jawline slightly turning purple .

I found myself walking up to him until I started to slowly grace over it with my finger unable to control myself .

"What happened?"

I threw the anger I had for him to the side but not forgotten now asked concerned .

I stare at his eyes once more they lure me in he doesn't turn away instead his eyes lock with mine

He lets me get closer now in between his legs I tip toed to his level and let my finger trail up to his bloodly eyebrow

"Don't worry about it"

My eyes never leaving his I smirked and poked it

"Geez Jude!!"

I smiled victorious as he stared at me and poked my side making me flinch.

"You got something there" I giggle he raises an eyebrow making me step back but his leg wrapped the back of my thighs pulling me into his chest trying to hide my red face as he continued to poke my sides. I burst out laughing.

"Ok ok Im sorry"

Satisfied he let me go flustered. I looked back at him

"We're going to a party"

Ignoring me once more averting the topic. I roll my eyes now ignoring him he laughed at my deadpan look.
