The Player Next Door

Chapter 7

"Alright so we're going to work on this at my place tomorrow?" Jake spoke as he looked over our English assignment.

"I can't tomorrow" I say gathering the papers on my desk.

"And why is that?" he turned to look at me seeming annoyed.

"I have plans" he rolled his eyes as I spoke, "Why can't we do it tonight?"

"Because tonight I have plans" his eyes are in the shape of small slits and I can't help the urge I have to smack him upside the head.

"Fine, then Sunday."

"Whatever" he closed the book just in time as the bell rang signifying class was over.

Ryan: I'll pick you up around 7, dress nice (Delivered  4:45pm)

I smiled as I read the text.

I walk to my closet and grab a red dress and a denim jacket to wear over it. I sit down at my vanity and do my makeup.

When I'm done I let my hair fall naturally in it's big loose curls.

"Plans, huh?" I hear a husky voice behind me.

I turn around and see Jake standing at his window staring at me.

His eyes scan my body and I catch his tongue shoot out and lick his lower lip, "You know red is my favorite color Princess?"

I continue to ignore his questions as I put on nude heels with lace up detail.

'Who are your plans with anyway?"

I roll my eyes as I turn around to look at him, "Why so many questions?"

"I'm just curious. Just wondering who will be fucking you before I get the chance" a lazy smirk plays across his face. I hate that damn smirk.

"No one. I'm just going out on a date, I'm not the kind of girl you think I am."

His smirk only grows wider at my words, "Oh how I can't wait to prove you wrong"

I furrow my eyebrows at his words just as my phone dings.

Ryan: outside beautiful (Delivered 7:05pm)

Without a word I grab my purse and leave my room leaving Jake at his window.

I get into the car and meet a smiling Ryan, "You look stunning"

"Thank you" I smile slightly.

"Is that Jake Winter's car?" he says suddenly sounding nervous.

"Yes, he's my neighbor" I say annoyance lacing my words.

"Oh" was all Ryan said before pulling out onto the street and heading to the destination of our date.

We pulled up at the restaurant to get out.

Ryan came around and opened my door, softly enveloping my hand in his and escorting me into the restaurant.

When we entered the restaurant they took us to the table Ryan reserved for us immediately.

It was a booth by the window in the far corner so it felt as if we were secluded from everyone else. The waiter came and we ordered drinks.

"So watcha wanna get to eat?" Ryan asked not looking up from the menu.
