Babysitting the Bad Boy: Books 1&2

38.

Ryan had burst through the door to find me under the covers of Mr. Bradley's bed with Mr. Bradley right next to me. He looked down at the clothes scattered all over the floor and he stared at us, anger and pain written in his eyes. I slowly sat up, keeping the covers closely to my body.

"How... How could you?" He asked, panting. He was out of breath and he had a hand against the wall. He waited for an answer from me and I started to cry.

"Ryan. I'm sorry," I said to him and Mr. Bradley awoken and sat up. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him.

"No.. No... No!! Get your hands off of her!" Ryan rushed over and pried Mr. Bradley's arms off of me. I saw Mr. Winchester standing by the doorway with a smirk on his face. "Kimberly, let's go." He grabbed my hand and pulled me off of the bed and I clung to the covers.

"Wait! Ryan! I'm not dressed!" I yelled and he suddenly took off his shirt and put it on me. I found myself putting my arms through the arm holes. I turned back to look at Mr. Bradley before getting dragged out of the room.

"What were you thinking? Are you getting back at me?!" Ryan asked, raising his voice and I stared up at him with my eyes widened. "I know I left you again, but is this your way of revenge?" I noticed Mr. Winchester watching us with his arms crossed.

"Ryan..."

"I know I fucked up. I know... But please don't do this to me," he said with tears in his eyes. I looked away from him and I put a hand to my chest. My heart was beating really fast and I felt like I was going to throw up.

"You left me 3 times... How could I trust you again? The only one I could trust is...", Nathan, "...Mr. Bradley. He's always been there for me. Even more than Nathan," I told him and he nodded slowly.

"Well, I'll leave you for good, knowing how it's going to be. So take Mr. Bradley and get out of here," Ryan instructed, before walking away. Mr. Winchester came over to me.

"Thank you," he said in a lowered voice, before following after Ryan. I watched as they disappeared into another room. I went back into Mr. Bradley's room where he was already fully dressed. I quickly got dressed as well.

When I was done, we just stared at each other. "Well, let's get out of here," Mr. Bradley said as he held out his elbow. I looped my arm around it. He grabbed his picture frame and flask and we both walked out of the room, and soon the mansion.

"I know it's not much, but please make yourself at home," I said to Mr. Bradley as he took a seat on the coach in the living room. After everything that happened at the Winchesters' mansion, I decided to take Mr. Bradley to my house, only because he has nowhere else to stay. I also decided to help him get comfortable in my house, because I'm solely responsible for getting him kicked out.

"You can use Nathan's bedroom for now. He'll be in the hospital for a while. And same goes for my mom. Um, are you hungry?" I asked Mr. Bradley as I walked over to him and he looked up at me. He smiled and then found himself laughing. I stood there, confused by him. He took my hands into his.

"I never thought I would be able to taste freedom. I beg your pardon, but I honestly find this whole situation funny. I came from just driving you to living with you," he explained as he laughed some more before he sucked in a breath and became quiet.

I smiled as I squeezed his hands. "I understand. I thought it was bizarre that they believed us. But, anyways, do you want me to make you anything? I'm not very experienced in cooking, so it won't be anything fancy. It would mostly likely be eggs," I said, and he nodded happily. "After this, I'm going to go to the hospital to check on my mom and Nathan once more."

Mr. Bradley followed me into the kitchen. He looked over and he even breathed in a little deeper. I just watched him and when he noticed I was staring, he gave me a small grin.

"I haven't been in a cozy house like this since I was about your age. It sure feels comforting," he responded as he sat down at the table. I rinsed the pan I took from the cupboard and I placed it on the stove. I turned the handle to light up one of the burners. "So, now that they believed us, what are you going to do now?"

"Nothing. Ryan's left me three times....and two without a proper goodbye. This is my goodbye to him, while I wait for the feud between him and his father come to a calm. Before I even go on, I need to look after my mom and Nathan, and take care of them. Then, I'll come up with something."

"I respect you, Ms. Adams. It's always important to put family first, because family is always there. With the exception of those many out there who don't. But, don't forget, you're never alone, and it's a good and bad thing."

"Man... if you weren't almost 50, I would probably date you," I joked as I went to the fridge and took out the carton of eggs.

"It took that many years for me to become this 'wise' as they say. You will one day, too. It's the experiences you go through that shape your mentality," he explained and I nodded slowly as I placed the carton down on the counter. "But, I think you have someone already amazing, and you don't realize it yet."

I looked down at the carton as I opened it, revealing white eggs. I sighed as I closed my eyes.

"Are you saying...it's Nathan?" I asked as I put a hand over the eggs.

"If you already know, make him yours. He's the one that has never left you, and stayed while you left him. You know how many times he came to the mansion while you were gone? Multiple."

A lump formed in my throat and I opened my eyes. "He... Why...?" I whispered to myself and I turned to face Mr. Bradley who was already standing by the front door. I turned the stove off and grabbed my mom's car keys off the hook on the wall. I handed Mr. Bradley the keys and he gave me a small smirk.

"After you, Ms. Adams."
