The Gypsy's Bad Boy

Chapter 11

"So how did you find me? Were you stalking me cause that's kind of creepy “I asked

"Me stalk you? You wish. I saw you head towards this way and I was watching you earlier and I could tell you were lost in your thought but I didn't follow you"

"Then how?"

"I went looking for you then I found you"

"That's it?"

"Pretty much"

"You're not going to make up a story about how you just manage to stumble upon my almost frozen body"

"Why would I? I'm too Cool for that" he replied with his signature smirk and I could've sworn my heart grew wings

"And you've got an ego the size of Ohio"

"But I am going to make up a story about how you were clinging to your dear life and I was your knight in shining armor” he said ignoring my comment.

"More like a Knight in denim" I said and he raised his eyebrow which did something excellent to his features.

My God! I'm drooling over Alex!! I obviously need to get my shit together because I must be losing it. 

He got up from his place in front of the fire suddenly and was about to walk out

"Where are you going?"

"I need to re-stock the cabin for when we leave in case someone gets lost and finds it"

"Well you can't go out like that" I said shrugging off his sweater and coat. "You could get hypothermia or something and besides I'm warm enough" I said rising to hand him the clothes. 

"Be back in a few" he said, putting them on then walked out closing the door firmly behind him.

After several minutes of him going and coming with firewood the blizzard had let up and it was safe for us to walk back to town without being buried 6ft beneath the snow.

It was a little harder to walk since the level of snow covering the land had risen thanks to the blizzard but we managed to get to our rendezvous point [idek I've always wanted to say that] which was by Marie's car at half past two.

"We thought you guys had gotten lost” Marie said pulling me into a warm hug which made me smile back at her warmth.

"So everything okay now?" my dad asked mostly to me.

"Yeah sure everything's  okay" I replied he nodded and I felt someone nudge my side I looked down to see Kay grinning from ear to ear with a knowing look on her face and I just rolled my eyes at what she was implying.

"Let's get a move on before we get snowed in again" Marie said with the enthusiasm of a sixteen year old and we all piled into the car and this time I was sitting next to Alex Thanks to the devious Kaylee

The weeks went by slowly with Christmas and new year gone in a blur and soon it was time to go back home even though I hate to admit it I actually had fun, it's been a while since I did so.

Alex and I well you know it's the same relationship basically but with less injuries if you know what I mean. Christmas and New Year had been fun Marie made sure of that even though her son wasn't all about it.

Finally we arrived at our home about mid-afternoon in January.

"Who's that?" Kaylee asked and I looked up from my phone to look at the figure whose head was between his knees immediately I knew who it was.

Dean. 

Once the car stopped I hopped out without forethought and walked directly towards him.

"Dean?" I said kneeling beside him and I shook him gently since he seemed to be asleep.

Slowly he raised up his head “Denise?" he asked

"Yes it's me, Hey"

"Hey" he smiled then placed a small kiss on my lips I almost cringed away causing him to look at me confused.

Okay what was that? Doesn't this boy take no for an answer?

"What are you doing here?" I asked barely looking at him.

"I couldn't wait to see you so I thought I'd surprise you, happy New Year"

"Well you did" I said getting up and he did the same, he was about to say something when we heard someone clear their throat.

I turned to find my dad "and who might this be?" he asked

"Dad this is Dean, Dean my dad" I said introducing them

"Nice to meet you sir, I've heard a lot about you" Dean said as they shook hands.

"Oh have you? Funny because I haven't heard anything about you" my dad said glaring at me

"Daaaad?!"

"Do you need some help with that?" Dean asked trying to be polite he's so cute.

"Sure you can help us unload the vehicle and we could talk over lunch" my dad said and walked away from us.

"Should I be scared?" dean turned to face me.

"Nope, he's all bark but no bite" Dean sighed visibly.

"I HEARD THAT" my dad yelled and we both chuckled. I saw Kay staring at Dean and me with daggers 'what? ‘I motioned with my hands she shrugged and looked away.

Once we'd fully unload the car we ate lunch more like sat through an interview with food considering the rate at which my dad was grilling Dean you'd think he was sitting for a college interview.

I understand though I've never brought a boy home except in my totally awkward tomboy stage and considering the fact that my sister and I are both daddy's girls even though we barely see him around.

Once the supposed interview was over Dean left saying he had some errands to run but I think he was running from my dad  who'd blame him I'd run if he wasn't by dad too.

We said our goodbyes under the watchful eyes of my father who seemed to have taken a keen interest in what we were going to do.

"I think you scared him away"

"Oh I didn't I'm sure he'll be back I could see he wasn't going to let an overprotective father get in his way"

"You think?"

"I know" he said patting my arm.  I heard Kay snicker and looked at her she sat with her hands crossed over her chest and with daggers in eyes

"What's your problem?" I asked her

"My problem? Oh let's see one minute you were all over Alex and the next you're all over another guy"

"What are you trying to imply? And for your information I was never 'all over Alex'  “I asked although I had a vague idea of what she was implying.

"You know exactly what I'm implying, all I'm trying to said is don't string them along just pick one”

"I am not string anyone along for fucks sake!"

Who are you my mother?

"Denise! Language" I heard my dad yell from the living room and I lowered my voice I looked at my defiant little sister and said

"If you think there's something going on between Alex and me you're seriously mistaken plus I don't have to justify my actions to you" 

She was about to say something but the doorbell was rung saved by the bell. I walked away from her to answer the door, on opening it I was enclosed in a rib cracking hug.

"Happy new year!"

"Can't.Breath.Rib.Hurts" slowly I was released from the hug only to see Siobhan. I didn't know she was this strong I thought inhaling the air that had been forced out of my lungs.

"Sorry" she said. 

"It’s okay" I replied with a real and genuine smile and I realized I've missed these two even Alicia's sarcastic and witty quelps.

"Come on in “I said stepping aside for them to walk in. If you’re wondering whether I'll tell them about the kiss well the answer is no there are some things you can't tell your bffs no matter how close you are. But, I am going to show them Alex's Rihanna pictures.

What’s not to love about a guy with red hair looking hella fine?
