I Love You Hating Me

Bed Time

Tristan

I left the room and went downstairs to see Milly trying to climb on the counters to get her sweets.

"Milly down now!"

She groaned and jumped down.

"I told you, you are having a bowl of cereal and a pancake. Then you have to wait till lunch"

"But lunch is like seven hours away"

"Its four. I'm sure you can wait that long"

"What's that man doing? Is he your boyfriend?"

"No! He never will be. We're not friends"

"He wouldn't be here if you wasn't"

"I'm just doing him a favour. He owes me"

"Can you get the cereal? I can't reach it"

I walked on over and looked at her options.

"Cornflakes, chocolate crunch, fruit loops or oatmeal"

"Crunch"

"Remember we eat together so no snacking while I check on Brad.

"Okay"

She spoke grumpy and sat at the kitchen table with her head in her hands.

I walked back up to see if he was okay.

"Oh God, I'm so sorry!"

Closing the door so he wasn't in my view anymore, I stood back embarrassed.

"Why are you overreacting you never seen a shirtless guy before? Come in you pussy"

I hate to admit it but he looks stunning. His tanned body, his muscles, his faintly showing abs. I seriously have got to stop thinking like this. Yeah, so what if he's a good looking guy I see so many of them everyday. But then again, they are nothing compared to him. He makes the others look ugly. Stop it Tristan, you're beginning to stare!

"If I didn't know any better I'd say you like what you see"

He had a massive smirk across his face and he walked closer to me.

"If you want I could let you shower with me"

"Fuck off, prick"

He laughed and kept walking past me into the bathroom.

"Last chance, blonde boy!"

I heard him shout but I ignored him.
That boy makes me feel weird

----------------------------

I don't know how I got into this position, but I ended up allowing Bradley to stay until he can get his car sorted. He said he doesn't have the money right now and he's waiting on his next pay. Little did I know his pay wasn't going to be until next saturday. Seven days. I have to keep him here for seven days. A part of me isn't complaining like it should and now I'm starting to wonder whether I'm actually warming up to the brunette. I hope not.

Today was Sunday, night before school. My friend Ana comes to pick Milly up at half 8 every weekday while I go to school so I don't have to worry about her. I have to leave at 8.15 so I cant take her to school as she starts at 9.00.

Over this night me and Bradley have shared a few laughs, he's really settled in and plays with Milly a lot. I can tell she really likes him and I'm glad she does.

Right now they are sitting on the other end of the sofa to me and she's telling him the story of how I got suspended from school 2 years ago.

A few years back I was a bit of a trouble maker, I still am to Brad. There's nothing wrong with Brad, I just feel that way towards him. I feel hate, anger, jealousy, sadness and happiness all at once. Just that one boy can do that to me. I checked the time on my phone and saw it was 9:00 PM.

"Come on, Milly. Time for bed"

"Aww, but I wanna talk to..."

"Brad"

"Yeah, Brad"

"You can once you've learned his name. But for now let's go to bed. Ana is gonna be here tomorrow to take you to school."

"I don't want to go school"

"You say that every night"

"Its true! People are mean"

"You'll face mean people all your life. It's your mission to find and keep the good people. Go to bed"

"Fine"

"Milly"

"What?!"

"Phone. Now please"

"Ugh, you're the worst!"

She slapped her phone in my hand and stomped away, closing her door behind her.

I looked at Brad to see him smiling.

"What?"

"You just know how to do things"

"I used to let her get away with it. But her teachers called me in and said she's either hyperactive all day or sleepy. So I set in some rules"

"Like what?"

"Cereal before 11, lunch at 1 which is normally a sandwhich and a couple sweets with some juice, dinner at 6 with one glass of fizzy drink, for the rest of the night she is allowed juice only. Then bed for 9.00. Too much sugar and no sleep will send her crazy"

"That's a nice plan. You seem like you'll be a great father to your kids"

"Oh um... Brad I'm not um... I-I-I'm not ... I dont like girls. I won't have kids"

"You're bi though?"

"No. I thought I was. But honestly girls just don't do the trick"

"Oh"

"You're welcome to come watch a movie in my room? I have a double bed so it won't be too weird"

"Yeah sure"

To be honest, I'm shocked he even said yes, I thought he wouldn't want to be anywhere near me. He turned the TV off and followed me upstairs to my room. I shut the door behind us and closed my curtains.

"Woah, pretty cool room"

"Thanks"

Bradley

It was a really cool room I walked into. It had white walls with dark blue LED lights around the edges, posters of some bands, a bookshelf dedicated to video games, black carpet, two bedsides tables on either side of the double bed and a massive wardrobe. Behind the end of the bed stood a 48 inch TV on a table.

"What kind of movies do you like?"

He lay on the left side and moved his laptop so I could lie down. I was hesitant at first thinking it is a bit weird, but it is also a great chance to talk more. I sat on the edge of the bed, too close to the end it made me feel like I was falling off and I had to keep my weight on one side to keep me on. Even though the space was big enough to fit another person, I didn't want to get close to him.

"I like comedy, horror and drama"

"Cool"

He put a movie on called "As Above So Below"and threw the covers over himself.

"You can move closer and tuck yourself in yanno"

"Oh... um... thanks?"

He lifted the covers up for me and I put my legs under. This didn't feel right. I swear 16 hours ago we were hating each others guts and now he's inviting me to bed. It doesn't seem real.
