Bad Boy turns into a Good Boy

They're nothing but trouble

Alicia's POV

"Thanks for today" I say when we've arrived at my house. "Take this as an apology from what happened yesterday." Mark says, looking at me with his beautiful smile.

I sigh, "Thunders, stop apologizing. It's not your fault okay, I was just overreacting."

"okay okay, whatever, then this is a date." he says, still looking at me.

I melt into his eyes. I do realize that Mark is a bad boy, he doesn't do love, he plays girls' heart like a toy, I do realize that I shouldn't believe to everything that he said, but part of me wants to believe him. Part of me doesn't really care if he's gonna show up the next day with other girls, part of me wants to believe that this is my first date.

Part of me wants to believe that I just had a date with Mark Thunders.

"Hi sweetie" Mom greets me when I just closed the front door. She's watching one of her favorite shows right now.

"Oh hi mom, didn't know that you're home already." I greet her back, looking a little bit surprised, she got home earlier than usual.

"I decided to go home earlier today because I was worried about you. I called you so many times and you didn't pick up any of it." my mom says, starting to give me a 'what are you doing' look.

I take my phone from my bag and turned off the airplane mode. I always turn on the airplane mode when I'm out cause you know, your girl gotta save her data and battery.

I got 20 calls and 30 messages from my mom, I also got 999+ messages from The Owls (I swear this bitches).

Oops, if your mom called you more than 5 times, then you're in a big trouble girl. I can already feel the tension now but it feels so strange because she's acting like everything's okay. She's starting to creep me out.

"oh shoot, I'm sorry, I forgot to text you that my friend is taking me out. You know how clumsy I am." I say, giving her my puppy eyes.

Please, I don't want to be grounded.

Gosh, why am I so clumsy. I thought that my parents would be at home at 8 pm, I didn't expect to meet my mom at 7pm in the house, watching Hell's Kitchen.

"Which friend? I didn't know that you have a friend who can drive." uh oh, she knows that all of my friends can't drive, but wait, how did she know?

"were you spying on me from the window?" I ask in disbelief.

My mom rolled her eyes, "Alicia Storms, I've been waiting for you since 6pm. Every cars that passed by our house, I would look to the window and checked if that's you. Don't you know how worried I was." she says with a stern voice.

I shut my mouth, not looking at her. Damn it, one problem solved, another problem comes.

"I'm sorry mom, it's my fault. I should have texted you, but please don't tell me that I'm grounded." I say, still not looking at her, it's scary when your mom is mad at you.

My mom sighs, "come here." she says, motioning me to come closer to her.

I did what she told me to and she hugs me really tight, I think she's going to kill me.
