My Bargain With The BadBoy

•• Chapter Six ••

Chapter six: Oh... unexpected 😮

"Ryder." Beth introduced. Don't worry, no introductions necessary... I knew him. Shit. He looked equally as shocked as I was. Beth, I gathered, put two and two together.

She sighed and pushed him towards the table, "Well Monroe. Looks like you'll be spending a few days with me?" He smirked, Harriett looked up from her phone and made a sound of disgust.

  "Ryder, as if she wants to spend any time with you." I giggled and Harriett smiled widely at me, "You know, your the first girl who doesn't seem at all interested in my brother. I like you." With that, she got up and walked into the kitchen with her empty plate.

   I put my hand on my chest and made a small noise, "Is that so?" Ryder blushed, "I like your sister. She's feisty."

   Ryder nodded, "Yeah, Harriett is cool." The youngest one, Logan, moaned and began to sniffle, "Not as cool as my Logi!" Ryder shouted, shutting the little boy up. I rolled my eyes and left the dining room to collect my bags.

   "Alex darling, your room is just through there." She pointed to a corridor on the bottom floor that lead to a single door, "it's not the basement, don't worry, it's our guest room." I chuckled and walked of after thanking her.

   The room was simple, it had a black metal bed to the far left and lifts strung across the large bay window. There was a white wooden dresser and wardrobe lined up across the right wall and a small vanity tucked into the corner.

   I took a deep breath and threw my stuff into a random corner. The bed was so soft, memory foam... ahhh....

  "Settling in?" I heard from the doorway, I sat up and smiled at Harriett who was leaning on the doorframe, "So do you like my style?" She said, walking to the room and sitting on the vanity chair.

   "This is your room?" I asked.

   "Old room. I got bored." She shrugged, dragging her hand along the vanity table. Harriett was shockingly pretty, long blonde hair with natural highlights and dark blue eyes.

   "If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?" I looked up at her and she smiled, "sorry... too close?" I shook my head and mimed a simple no.

   "I'm seventeen." I smiled, "How about you?"

   "I'm sixteen." She laughed, "I haven't seen you around school, do you go to our school?"

  "Yeah uh... I'm not one for socialising really. Ryder actually persuaded me to sit with him." I smiled, but he smile faded when I remembered our spit on the bleachers.

   "Oh I see. You know, I wasn't expecting much when mom told me a girl was coming to stay, but you are really pretty. Can I do your makeup sometime?" She asked excitedly. I laughed at her and nodded.

  "Thank you, and sure." Harriett squealed and skipped out the doorway shouting her goodbyes after her. I heard some banging before Ryder shot into the doorway, slamming the door behind him.

   I screeched, grabbing my chest, "What the hell Ryder!" I shouted, he shushed me.

   "Be quiet, if my mom finds me in here she will kill me!"

   "Aww is Ryder scared of his mommy?" I teased and he gave me a look that said, seriously!?

  "Yes, I'm terrified of my "mommy"" he mimicked, "she told me that I'm not to enter your bedroom... she thinks I'm some sort of whore." He rolled his neck and opened the door slightly, peeking outside.

   "All clear." He said and let out a deep breath. "So Monroe," he continued, jumping onto the bed, "why wasn't your dear BFF informed of your visit?" I scoffed.

  "What BFF?" I asked coyly.

  "Me obviously, I doubt there is another." He pulled a face. Whereas, mine dropped. "Shit, I'm sorry I didn't mean for that to sound so..."

  "No. Seriously, it's fine. If you must know ACQUAINTANCE," he shrugged and stuck his bottom lip out, "I wasn't told until after I got home." He sniggered.

   "You mean after you b-bumped-" he stopped himself and silently laughed on the bed, "hey, and you left me in the parking lot. What was that about?"

  "I needed to get home." I said nonchalantly.

  "Cool, ah, the guys are coming round tonight. Do you want me to invite the girls?" He asked, I nodded swiftly. "Cool, alright."

  With that, he left the room. Finally, I switched into my Comfy clothes and lay down on the bed. Some peace...

•••••

  Oooh, she's in Ryder's home!?
  A little picture of Harriett up there, isn't she beautiful!? I will put a picture of Alex up on the next one. I can't find anyone for Foster or Landon but I will keep looking and do a character compilation next. Okay?
