the bad boy [s.m.]

[18]

Jen's POV

We arrived at the park which was like 5 minutes away driving. Alma basically sprinted out the car, going straight to the monkey bars.

Shawn and I sat at a bench near the playground to keep an eye on her, make sure no one tries to steal her.

"You know I sucked at the monkey bars." I said.

"Really? I did the monkey bars everyday with no problem."

"I fell flat on my face one time, after that I never did monkey bars again." We laugh. It hurt like a bitch.

"That was funny." Someone behind me laughed. Shawn and I immediately checked behind us, only to see Jess and Noah.

"Oh my gosh, what are you guys doing here?" I stand up hugging them as Shawn does the same.

"We were taking a nice walk in the park when we saw you guys. What are you guys doing here?" Jess says as they sit with us.

"Alma wanted to come to the park." I pointed at her.

"I swear you do everything for that little girl. She has you perfectly wrapped around her little finger." She laughed.

"Hey! She asked with a cherry on top!"

"Oh yeah, then you totally have to do it." She says sarcastically.

We kept talking, Noah and Shawn even started talking amongst themselves, most likely tired from our girl talk. We were interrupted when a woman came up to us.

"Excuse me is that your child?" She pointed to Alma now on the floor, with blood on her lip.

I gasp and run to her, everyone else close behind. I pick her up and she starts crying, my baby had a busted lip. How did this happen?

"What happened? Who did this?" I asked worried.

I wasn't just worried about Alma uncontrollably crying in my shoulder, I wad afraid of my sister and her reaction. Don't poke that Mama Bear cause she will bite you, trust me.

"Hey! Next time control your kid!" Some asshole yelled at me grabbing his son from the little steps that help you get on the monkey bars.

"He pushed her I saw it!" A little girl yelled out. Everyone else was just nodding, agreeing with her. Oh fuck no.

"Excuse me sir, your kid pushed my niece, now look. She has a busted lip and I have to go explain to her mother about what happened. Have him just apologize and this will be forgiven." I say calmly.

Of course I was just about ready to kick his ass and by the way Noah was holding back Jess, we were both ready to let loose. I knew this wouldn't solve anything and this would just be a bad example to Alma that violence is the answer, which it isn't.

"Fuck no! Who the fuck do you think you are to tell me what and what not to do with my kid! She took too long and suffered the consequences! She was making a god damn line!" He was practically getting all up in my face.

I was gonna give Alma to Jess so I could handle the situation until Shawn stepped in.

"Look man, we didn't want any trouble. My girlfriend and I just wanted to bring her niece to the park to have fun. Have your son apologize, it's the right thing to do."

"How about you have your little girlfriend learn how to control her mouth and niece before I do it for her!" He poked Shawn. Oh, you messed with the wrong guy buddy.

"See this is where I draw the fucking line." He says walking up to him.

"You don't touch me, at all. If you really want to pies me off, that's when you threaten my girlfriend, which you just did. I could rip you apart right here, right now. I'm not going to though, there are children around and I really don't want them to see what I can do so here's what we'll do."

At this point him and Shawn were so close that I'm sure he could feel Shawn's breathing.

"You're not only gonna apologize to my girlfriend and her niece. Your son is gonna do the same, if you don't do as I ask, well let's just say you don't want to find out what I can do."

He walked away with the guy looking scared, but he tried to play it off like it was nothing. Oh honey we already saw, you are just about ready to shit your pants.

"Sorry." Both the father and the son said sarcastically as they walked away. Shawn was going to go stop them until I grabbed his arm with my free arm.

"Let them be. Let's just get Alma home." He nodded.

We all agreed that Jess and Noah would go to the store and buy some "supplies" for tonight because we were going to have movie night to cheer Alma up.

We made it home and I immediately took Alma to the bathroom to clean up her wound. She screamed when I put alcohol on her lip, but she eventually took it like a champ and stopped.

I called Lana to let her know everything that happened and she was surprisingly okay with it. Well not okay, but you know she couldn't exactly do anything about it.

We watched Finding Nemo, Moana, and Scream. Alma had gone to sleep with her mom when she came home. My parents came home around 11 when they saw Shawn and I cuddling while watching Scream.

Jess and Noah, well they left after Finding Nemo for whatever reason.

I felt bad for Shawn, I'm sure he wanted to go home, but maybe he felt like he couldn't because of me.

"Shawn you know, if you want to go home you can. I'm not holding you back or anything." I say looking up at him.

"Why would I want to go to a house with no one in it?"

"So I'm not making you feel obligated to stay here?"

"No baby. I'm here because I want to be here."

"Well in that case, we should go to sleep upstairs now."

He nodded and we went to my room. We laid down in our usual position, with his arm around my waist and my hand on his chest.

He quickly fell asleep while I was there, just thinking about what events led my life up to this. What made him choose me, of all the pretty and popular girls he could've had at school, he chose the nerdy girl. Why?

These thoughts were forgotten remembering the first time we met, that English class was the cause of all this. Thank god for English am I right?
