Bridge to meet Ridge (ON HOLD!)

chp 8

"Where the hell have you been?"

"Um...."he took a step back and sat down on the armchair "Out?"

"What the hell does that mean! You go missing for 3 days and all you have to say is out? Ridge, where were you?"

He narrowed his eyes at me as if he was debating over something in his mind "why do you care?" he suddenly spoke.

"I-I d-don't" why do I care though?

He studied me carefully before replying "Yeah you do" his lips twitched upwards in his signature smirk as I silently he watched him. he stood up and took a few small steps towards me "i think, that you were worried about me. Am i right?"

was he right? Was I actually worried? Honestly, I don't know. All I knew was that he was missing and I wanted to know where he went and why? But does that indirectly mean that I care about him? that I worry about him? Agghhhh! Too many questions.

"Hold on. Why are you interrogating me? You were the one missing, not me. I should be asking the questions." I felt a weird surge of confidence as if I knew that I was going to win the argument anyway. I took a step forward as well "so, where have you been?"

"Look I'm not your freaking boyfriend nor your responsibility" he seemed ticked off "so I don't owe you an explanation"

I was seriously awe-struck. I never said anything about him being my boyfriend or anything! I was just asking. And now I was slowly regretting it. Deciding that I do not want to push him over the edge, I let the topic slide.

"Fine" I placed my hand on my hip "how the hell did you get in?"

"Chase's room" he shrugged "I've picked a fair share of locks"

"You scared the hell out of me when I saw you" I placed my hand on my forehead "I was about to attack you! I could've killed you!"

"What, with that?" he chuckled, pointing to the object that was still in my hand. It baffled me to why he was laughing?

"Yes, with this!" I lifted the object in front of me and realised why he was laughing. In my hand, I hold the most ferocious and dangerous thing in the world! My plush toy webkinz, Ellie.

I looked back at him to find him doubled-over in laughter and I couldn't help but laugh alongside him.

"Okay, put down the plush tiger before some gets hurt" he jokes

"Shut up" I through the stuffed animal at his face and turn to walk back into my room. Apparently that was an invitation, because next thing I know he is strolling in behind and takes a seat on my bed.

"So...." he awkwardly says.

"Are you staying here tonight?" the thought just rolled off my tongue before I could bite down on it.

"Uhh..." he seemed a but taken aback by my forwardness "I wasn't planning on it. I was actually just gonna grab something to eat and head out."

"Oh, well I guess since we have established that you aren't a burglar or a thief, you are free to go" I pull down on my tank top.

He looked at me from head to toe before smirking "nice PJ's" he comments.

My cheeks burn bright read as I look down at my toes embarrassed. I had completely forgotten that I was standing in front of the one of the hottest bad boys in school. Correction, THE hottest bad boy, wearing nothing but black, cotton short shorts, exposing most of my legs, a blue tank top with the words 'peaches' scrawled across my chest in baby pink and a pair of house slippers with big Hawaiian flowers on the straps.

"Damn, you look hot when you blush" his smirk is now a full blown smile now as he rests his hands behind him for support.

"S-s I-I-I what?" holy cow! what is this boy doing to me. He obviously looks hot as ever in his jeans and t-shirt while all I stand still looking completely retarded at a loss of words.

"Chill out" he chuckles "I'm just teasing"

"Umm, okay?" it was all i could say to not look even stupider than I I already seemed to be.

I force my feet to move as I sit on the desk chair and turn my back to him, opening my MacBook looking for a destruction to calm myself down.

"So what were you doing before our little! run-in."

"Sleeping" I state "or at least trying to"

"Expected" he mumbles under his breath.

"What?" I spin around to face him.

"Nothing" he shrugs and gets up "i was just wondering if next time I can join you?"

"W-wha--" he laughs and moves slowly towards me "shut up! I thought you were leaving" I finally defend.

"I was going to, but I'm enjoying myself more here" he stands next to me and leans against the table "wanna watch a movie maybe"

"Okay? sure" I was confused now, but I wasn't getting any sleep to I might as well "what do wanna watch?" I ask as I pull up all the movies I have on my laptop.

"Move aside" he pushes my chair and scrolls through my movies "damn, you have good taste in movies"

"Well what did you expect? a bunch of chick flicks?"

"Well... yeah!" I laugh. "shit! you have project X? I guess the good girl isn't as good as she claims to be" he turns and smirks at me. I seriously hate his constantly smirking lips...

"Pick a movie" I ignored his previous comment.

"Amazing Spider-Man" he opens the opens the movie on VLC "I havnt sent that movie in forever and I am craving for some Emma Stone"

"Fine by me" 'I could watch Andrew Garfield's for hours' I though. He grabs the laptop and sets it on my bed, lying down on his stomach with his feet up in the air. 'What is he doing?' I mean, does he expect me to lie down.... next to him? What am I supposed to do now? I have never hung out with anyone like this, let alone a boy!

He finally turns around and gestures for me to come forward. I shake out of my internal freak-out ad move towards my bed. I lie down next to him, making sure to leave a goof two foot gap between us before focusing in the movie.

'This is good' i thought. I needed to start getting a social life and doing better around people and if this was step one, then I'm taking it. I dissolve all other thoughts and focus on the movie.

And our two hours sesh of Spider-Man at 12:30 am was the start of a very different, very interesting Friday.
