My cute neighbor next door

are you gay?

Ryder's POV

We both sit in silence and carry on looking through the pages, they seemed to have a lot of variety and that too all in English who would've thought that, to be honest, I'm kinda surprised it's in English since it is a French restaurant but then again we do live in America so it'd make sense. "okay I think I'm going to get the chicken breast with fries and rice as the side" Cara says as she interrupted my thoughts with a bright smile on her face.

what the fuck, this girl eats a lot "I thought you were going to get a salad or something" I say taken aback at the fact she would even think of eating all this protein "I mean aren't you like vegetarian or on a diet" I clarify staring blankly at her.

"what the fuck! you want me to starve myself then, there is no fucking way I'll be having a salad I'm sure of it" she exclaims "okay...it was just a suggestion calm down" I say smirking at her and she sighs heavily "I am calm" she states.

The waiter comes over and we tell him our orders and I get a bottle of red wine. the waiter leaves and Cara stares at me with her eye wide opened "what! red wine!" she whispers "can you even drink"

"stop with the questions, baby " I whisper back in the same tone "baby? don't ever call me that" she reiterates harshly "my feelings!" I say putting my hand on my chest "I'm still calling you that" I say as I give her a quick wink which she whines to "nooo".

The waiter comes back with a bottle of red wine and the delicious food "thanks" I say as he places the food down onto the table. I look up at Cara to see her staring straight at me "what" I mouth at her and she laughs as she looks at me and then at the waiter, for fuck sake does she still think I'm gay. I shake my head in disagreement and roll my eyes then begin to eat. I mean there's nothing wrong with being gay but I'm not fucking gay.

"I'll be back with your desserts later on, is that okay?" the waiter questions to us. I stare at my food and carry on eating not saying a word "umm, Ryder is that okay for you the waiters asking you...nicely" Cara says slyly "oh you were talking to me... yeah it's fine" I say as I grab the bottle and pour in some of the wine whilst not looking at him.

he gives a small smile and walks away, "what was that for, princess" I say looking at Cara.

"what do you mean what was that for he was talking to you" she says shrugging her shoulders

"he was actually talking to both of us"

"well he was looking at you, and you know I just wanted to make sure"

"I'm not gay and you know that"

"okay if you say so" she replies showing off her white gorgeous teeth.

****after eating****

Cara's POV

I get up after eating, by the way, I didn't have the 'red wine' but instead, I drank water like a normal, sensible teenager that I am.

"damn you were hungry," Ryder says as he looks up at me with a smirk smothered across his handsome face. RUDE though!

"the same can be said for you," I say and give him a cheesy smile. He chuckles at my response and gets out a silver hip flask for alcohol, what is he doing right now? the waiter then arrives back to our table and hands us our desserts "umm.. can I have an empty clear glass" Ryder says and he nods agreeing to his order... obviously; he likes him for defo.

he walks away once more and returns with the glass and hands it to Ryder who's waiting patiently. he takes the glass and the waiter once again walks away before saying he'll be back with the check.

"what are you doing" I question him raising my eyebrow in confusion "what? the wine was nasty as fuck man, you can't blame me, it tasted cheap" he says arrogantly.

"so what's in there," I say pointing at the flask "alcohol" he simply replies as if I don't know that. I roll my eyes while saying "really...I thought it was water" I say sarcastically. "what kind of 'alcohol'" I say emphasising the alcohol part with hand gestures "vodka" he replies as he pours it into the glass "are you dumb or something you're literally just going to get drunk right now that too in a bloody damn restaurant" I say aggressively what is this charming guy doing he makes me so angry.

he shrugged his shoulders in response and poured it into the glass while staring at me blankly like he didn't even hear me before what is wrong with this boy? he just blanked me and didn't even listen to a word I said.

I didn't say anything and started to eat my chocolate oreo cake which I had ordered, 'Mmmmm' this is sooo tasty and delicious oreo is seriously the best. I looked up at Ryder who had a smirk across his handsome face he's definitely getting tipsy off of the alcohol what an idiot. I try to finish the cake so we can get out since he's legit getting drunk here.

"shit" Ryder mutters looking behind me, I turn my head around only to see Jax and Ms Rodriguez as they approach us Ryder hides the hip flask under the table.

Fuck I just remembered he's half drunk what a dumbo. I hold back a laugh to see what he's going to do.

"Hey lovelies have you finished off your food, how was it" she says happily "it was nice ma" Ryder replies "yeah it was good, " I say straight after.

"How was the date" I ask looking up at Ms Rodriguez "it was amazing" she says and Ryder snorts "yeah okay"

Ms Rodriguez makes a face at him and tells him if he can take Jax to the bathroom but Ryder doesn't say anything until after a few seconds "Kay" she then smiles and walks away.

Jax stands there impatiently "let's go!" He whines and pulls onto Ryder's suit "okay okay" he grunts as gets up I'm kinda scared as to what's going to happen whether he'll actually get up the stairs and not fall...
