Mr Bad Boy and I

Chapter2:Diner Down

Listen to Talk by Khalid while reading this chapter<3
The minute I got home Jenifer walked up to me with a sassy look.
"I'm sorry is it a crime coming home?" I asked with attitude.
She has a nerve.
"No Sherlock it isn't but I need to talk to you." she replied.
"Listen Jenifer if your queen bee or whatever came to tell me to back off Caleb or something she doesn't have to worry I don't want him so she should stop jumping to conclusions and get her facts straight." I snapped.
"I was saying that she and the girls are upstairs." she whispered
Ohhhh...
Bianca walked downstairs with an evil look on her face.
"Well that's a whole lot of shit coming out of your mouth!" she spat
"No vulgar language in this house Racquelle." I fake smiled.
"Sorry Barbie I don't care," she fake smiled.
Jenifer separated us, I could've slapped her and trust me I would have.
"Mom said we have to have dinner at the diner downtown she left $250" Jenifer said
"With them?" I asked.
"Yep." She replied
I can't believe my mom she knows how much I despise Bianca.
We arrived at the diner and luckily I invited Michelle so I didn't have to sit with them.
"Hey." She smiled
"Thanks for coming on such short notice you're a life saver." I said.
She looked very confused.
Caleb walked in the diner looked around and saw me.
"You didn't text me to come I was just lucky to save you," she gasped ,"looks like you sent the message to the wrong person."  she giggled.
"Oh no,hell no!" I scoffed
He walked this way,"Am I not wanted anymore?" he smirked.
"I meant to send the message to her but it went to you I should of checked ugh!" I said.
His face turned from nearly happy to about to kill me it actually scared me.
"Bella I actually had things to do and I came all the way here for nothing for that buy me dinner." He said in a serious tone.
"Hey I'm Michelle by the way you should probably know that if we're going to have dinner together." She giggled.
He gave a flirty look kissed her hand and said," I'm Caleb pleasure meeting you."
Can't he go a day without flirting?
Bianca gave Michelle the death stare while approaching us.
"Hey Caleb, Michelle funny seeing you here." she wrapped her arms on her neck.
"They are with me." I claimed
She rolled her eyes ignoring me.
"So Caleb what are you doing after this?" she asked walking around the table then touching his shoulders.
He felt uncomfortable you could see it.
"Well I'm actually going out with Bella,so get off me He said while pushing her off him.
Wait what?
"Since when am I-." Just like that I was cut off
"Remember we planned it so we can get to know each other for the project?" He said nudging me too carry on his lie.
"Oh yeah, I totally forgot about it thank you for reminding me Caleb." I said fake smiling while kicking his leg.
"Ouch." He grunted softly.
"Huh?" Bianca asked because she heard him grunt.
This idiot doesn't even know how to hide his pain.
"Nothing that concerns you." He said bluntly
Wow he can really change up from awkward nervous wreck to a jerk.
"We're leaving now actually let's go B." He said which made me cringe so hard.
"Do we have to go now?" I whine feeling irritated. How can he just choose to do this for me. He doesn't control me.
"Yes." He said getting impatient.
"Jenifer I'll bring her home safe,"he said with reassurance,"have a good night." He ends off his sentence while pulling me into the car.
"You're a stubborn hey?" He asked me irritated.
"No I just don't like being told what to do," I said bluntly.
"I just saved you from the worst dinner of your life, you're very welcome." He said rolling his eyes.
"Oh wow thanks," I said sarcastically
"So where do you wanna go?" He asked
"You don't even know where we're going!" I yelled
Is he always this infuriating?
"Stop yelling it sounds like I kidnapped you,"He warned me while covering my mouth
I slapped his hand off my mouth and said,"Well I am here against my will so yes,this kidnapping." I stated.
He rolls his eyes in annoyance.
"Can you calm down, Jesus Christ." He said in annoyance.
"Yes Jesus Christ my Lord and savior so good to know the 'Bad Boy' is Christian." I said
He stopped the car and shot me a warning glare for about thirty seconds then said," Of course I'm Christian and why do you think of me as the bad boy?" He generally asked
Is he really asking me this?
"I'll tell you if you start driving again, thank you," I said with a fake smile
He started it and was traveling at about 40 kilometres per hour.
"Well you're a the stereotype of the bad boy because you're a player,spoiled rich boy like look at your car,you get into physical fights,a heartbreaker,a party animal, gets about C-'s and that's about it, am I wrong?" I asked
"You seem to have me all figured out huh?" He scowled with his jaw clenching
I nod nervously.He seems irritated by what I said.
"Well let me tell you about you,"he said," you are a smart school girl that gets all the A's and A+'s but is the most boring person in the world with no personality whatsoever and doesn't like to have fun. Deep down you're hurting,you're lonely and are scared to fall in love, to be loved or cared for it's like someone hurt you badly. The only people you let get close to you are people you're comfortable with,your friend group because you're scared to let anyone else in. What I haven't figured out is why this girl is so broken." He stated rudely which has me shocked how he could read all of that by just having me around.
I gulped not knowing what to do.
"By the way I get A's,A+'s sometimes,B+'s but I guess you don't expect that from the 'Bad Boy' right?" He scolded me
I felt bad for judging him. One of the rumors I actually listen to isn't true.
"I-I'm sorry if I offended you in anyway," I said touching his arm I genuinely meant it,"and I guess you're right I'm scared to let people I'm not comfortable with and who I hardly know in because I've dealt with certain things that I don't want to risk again. I'm not some broken and lonely girl that just sits around and studies all day so I shouldn't assume I know things and you and you shouldn't assume you know stuff about me because believe you don't know anything I've been through." I said
He just stared at me for the next 5 minutes while we were on our way wherever the hell he was taking me.
"We're here," He said
We got out of the car and I was speechless...
We arrived at a black and white mansion. It had dull colors but you could still see the beauty in it. It was like a real
life painting.
"Wow," I sighed.
"I know,but don't get your hopes up this isn't my house." He winked as I rolled my eyes
If this isn't his house,then whose is it?
A tall man came out of the house. He had blue eyes,black hair,he was wearing a black T-shirt and he looked the age between 18-19 years old.
Damn he was attractive.
He smirked as he caught me staring at him while Caleb looks at me and chuckled.
"Caleb,who's this beautiful lady you brought with you?" He asked while smirking
Ughhh his voice is so settling.
"This is Isabella, Isabella this is Ian," He said
"Hi," I wave nervously. Why am I so embarrassing?
He leaned forward,kisses my hand and said,"Hello Bella,"he turned around and whispered in my ear,"what a pleasure to meet you." I felt his breath on the side of my face as I was left in shock by this effect.
"Alright lay off Ian,"Caleb pushed him gently.
Ian just put his hands up like a victim of what had happened.
"How do you two know each other?" I asked curiously.
They both grinned at each other.
This is going to be interesting...
"Hi MTV welcome to my crib,come on in," Ian said while walking inside.
His house has an aesthetic theme to it like it had been designed by the best designers and architects in the world.
"Wow,this is absolutely stunning," I said while looking around. Caleb watched me looking around as if I didn't notice him doing it.
"Thank you,I know it is," Ian chuckled. He's so cocky,confident,snarky and sarcastic.
I could feel Caleb eyes gazing at me while I walked around this beautiful mansion.
"Stop gazing Caleb,it's getting weird," I said while I caught him off guard.
Yep, I noticed it Caleb you're not slick.
"I wasn't looking at you,I was simply admiring my friend's house." He said trying to save himself. Ian looked at me and Caleb then smirked.
"Come on Caleb come up with a better excuse than that,"he chuckled playfully punching Caleb,"you've been here to many times to count  you know how it looks."
Caleb gasped playfully," I guess I lose my breath every time I see it." He chuckled slapping Ian back as they both chuckled.
Watching them is like watching a bromance in real life. Their friendship is so friendly,funny,trusting and rare to find;I figured this out within five minutes.
"You can come have a seat if you want,"Ian offered while sitting me down on the couch.
"Can I ask you a few questions?" I asked Ian. He nodded because he could see I'm curious about how they know each other,
"How long have you known Caleb for?" I asked.
"Caleb and I go way back. I've known him my whole life;our moms were best friends. We went to the same kindergarten and we've always been close," he said look staring into a space.
Were?
"Wow and you're a year older than us?" I laughed.
He shared the joke and laughed too.
"He's a smart guy,you should see the marks he gets wow he's not the exact stereotype you're thinking of," He smiled giving full recognition of his friend.
I know that he's smart I see him getting academic awards but he doesn't really care about his awards but I still said he gets C minus's wow.
"Are you also friends with Sam and Blake?" I asked curiously. If he knows Caleb he obviously knows them too.
"Yeah I am,all of them are like brothers to me, we've been through hell and back together." He stated as if he was thinking of those moments it the moment.
What does he mean by,"We've been through hell and back."
What have they possibly been through? I don't really pay attention to rumors at school so I don't know much about what's true and what's false.
"Hey,"Ian said as he snapped me out of my thoughts,"don't stress it okay? I'm sure Caleb will tell you one day, I have a feeling you're gonna be sticking around." He smirked at me. I looked to the other room to see Caleb walking around. He also started wondering and made eye contact with me. I'm trying to read him and understand him like a book. I wonder what Ian meant by saying he had a feeling I'll be sticking around.
"Do you guys want anything to eat?" Ian shouted making Caleb snap out of his stare.
"Yeah that would be nice," I said looking back at him quickly.
"I'll go cook something up." He said.
He got off the couch, walked towards the kitchen then stopped and said,"Don't make out on my couch you two!" He chuckled while I blushed.
"So," Caleb said while walking toward me," what were you and Ian talking about." He said with a small smile.
"Oh just about you, I mean about your friendship," I corrected myself.
He laughed while sitting on the couch with me.
I'm so embarrassing why am I like this?
"Oh really,what about it," He said smirking and holding my hand.
I looked up at him and smiled.
"He just said that you and your friends have all known each other a long time and you've been through hell and back together. He also said I shouldn't stress it, he has a feeling I'll be sticking around," I said keeping eye contact with him the whole time.
He looked up and down and grabbed my cheek. I looked up at him and sighed while he moved his hand on my cheek gently like he was wiping a tear.
I'm a nervous wreck.
"I also have a feeling you'll be sticking around," He smiled, a genuine smile.
He started taking my legs and wrapped them around his waist. He moved our bodies towards each other causing electricity between us.
He smirked and said,"You like this don't you?"
I gasped as he ran his fingers through my hair.
"This feeling of me touching you, you enjoy it,"he said tracing his hand down my neck.
He looked at my lips and leaned in.
I don't know what to do in the situation should I do the same or not?
Before anything could happen he backed up and smiled.
"I going to go help Ian with the cooking, maybe another time." He smirked releasing my thighs from his grip then he got up and walked away smirking.
I tried catching my breath. Wow, that just happened. We almost kissed or even made out, there was tension between us that was almost filled. There was a feeling when he touched me. A shiver and I could feel the electricity between us. I'm not the type of girl to kiss a boy I hardly know but this it's different, it's like there's been chemistry between us for a while. I wasn't gonna let this take over my mind and overthink,but that's something I do often.
"Hey Miss Overthinking, food's ready," Caleb grinned while chuckling while I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
Ian made spaghetti bolognese and a salad on the side. It looked so good.
I sat down as he put the food on the table.
As I started eating I was shocked,it was amazing.
"This is so good,"I moaned.
Ian and Caleb exchanged looks.
"Well at least we know what she'll say in the bedroom," Ian said laughing making Caleb laugh.
"You are disgusting we're eating," I glared at him.
"At least you complimented my food I was scared you were gonna moan Caleb's name," Ian stated smirking as I choked my food out and Caleb started laughing.
"You guys are gross,"I said while looking at them in disgust.
"What? I can't hope for Caleb and Isabella to get together. I'm your number one fan guys you're my OTP and I can't wait to rub it in your faces when you start dating," He stated while I put my fork and knife down trying to process what he had just said.
The room turned into an awkward silence for ten seconds straight.
"I-I don't date you know that," he said to Ian in a warning tone making Ian stop and eat again.
My phone rang at the right time to interrupt this awkward moment.
"Hello?" I answered.
"ISABELLA WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" She screamed into the phone making Caleb and Ian look up at me.
"I'm with Caleb at Ian's house and Caleb told you he'd bring me back so I don't know why you sound confused," I stated.
"YOU'RE AT IAN FREAKING JEFFREY'S HOUSE! WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THERE?" She shouted making Ian and Caleb look at each other.
I walked outside the room so I don't look weird.
"Can you stop shouting you sound paranoid and jealous. Stop making such a big deal out of it you wanted me to stay home while you were with your friends, hell no. Don't you dare speak to me the way you did I'm older than you." I snapped at her.
"I'm sorry okay? I was just really worried about you." She said in a calm voice.
"It's fine I'll be home soon," I assured her because she seemed stressed.
"Oh okay I love you 3000," She said which made me smile.
"I love you 3000," I said before dropping the phone.
As I walk back into the kitchen I see Caleb and Ian laughing and holding each other.
I smiled at the sight,seeing bromance's like Scott and Stile's one in real life is rare.
"Your bromance is so cute guys," I smiled making them blush.
"Well we're basically brothers but he's still pain," Caleb laughed playfully punching Ian's arm.
"You're sister is Jenifer Crawford right?" Ian asked me with a curious look.
"Yes she is,do you know her?" I also asked curiously.
"I went to watch one of your sports days,she came to me tried to flirt but I said no," Caleb gave him a look like he lied.
"Maybe I didn't say it so nicely but hey she doesn't like me now and I don't care. By the way you're my favorite sibling you're so great and she's so not," Ian said smirking.
Caleb and I laughed.
"I need to get going guys but it's been great and it was nice meeting you Ian. I saw you already put your phone number in my phone so I didn't need to ask for that," I said and laughed at the end.
Ian stood up as he hugged me goodbye and said,"Well see you soon Isabella I don't have a doubt that I won't see you in the space of the next two weeks." He said while he gave Ian a look.
"I'll drive you home,"Caleb said taking the keys.
"No honestly it's okay I can Uber," I insisted. I don't want to ruin his fun.
"I don't mind and plus, I wouldn't feel comfortable with you Ubering while I'm here as your lift,"He said with a sweet voice.
He said goodbye to Ian and we left the beautiful house.
I hopped in the car and listened to sounds of crickets chirping  on the drive to my house.
As I finished directing him we arrived. I got out of the car and shivered. It's a really windy and chilly night.
He got out walked up to me and said,"Here take this." While he gave me his jacket.
"No it's okay I'm going inside anyway and I'm not that cold," I said putting his hand with the jacket down.
He smiled at me and said,"No, I insist and I don't want to be the reason you catch a cold."
We both laughed and looked at each other.
"Well I've got to go. See you at school I guess?" he said while backing away.
"Yeah see you," I responded with a small smile.
As he started walking towards the car I remembered what I said earlier and how it hurt his feelings.
"Caleb," I said standing up straight ready to apologize.
He looked back confused.
"I'm sorry for what I said earlier, I shouldn't judge you without getting to know you." I said looking at the grass.
"It's okay,"he said opening the car door,"and I guess there was some truth to it. That's how everyone portrays me and maybe I want that to change." He answered truthfully. I could tell it was truthful by the way he looked down while he said it.
"Goodnight," he said getting into his car.
"Goodnight," I responded walking away.
I smiled when I had finally arrived in my room, sneaking in was a mission.
I went to sleep with a smile on my face while I remembered all the good memories from tonight.
