The Bad Boy Cares? | Completed √

Chapter 40

Previously

I sigh in frustration and Mason puts me on the ground again, seeing that we're now on the grass field.

"ALEXIA LOUISE SMITH" I flinch at Jayden's tone and look worriedly over at Mason, who just shrugs

Now

Thanks for the help.

"YOU'RE COMING WITH ME YOUNG LADY" he shouts angrily

Pff, he sounds like a dad.

I quickly grab my towel and follow him, preparing myself for an outburst.

"I'm sor-"

"Are you? You got me worried sick! I get that he hurt you, but you can't keep running off like that! Do you even know what could've happened?! Have you even thought about the possible consequences? Have you even thought one second about how we would feel if you ran away again? Or did you only think about yourself? Do I have to remind you about what happened last time you ran away? God, why do you have to be so freaking stubborn?!"

My breath hitches, my heart rate increases, my hands are shaking and I stand with my head looking at the ground, my hair covering my face in embarrassment.

"Sorry" I barely whisper, tears forming in my eyes

He grumbles and turns around in frustration. I think he's trying to calm himself down. When he turns towards me again, he looks a lot less angry thankfully.

"Come here" he mumbles and pulls me in a tight hug

"I'm sorry"

"It's okay"

"I won't do it again; I promise"

"I trust you" he smiles

"Sorry for snapping and screaming at you" he sighs as he pulls back

"It's okay, I understand"

"Now I've got a someone to punch" he groans as he eyes Mason

"No. You don't" I say sternly

"But he hurt you"

"We solved the problem, you can't just punch him," I warn him, "plus I already slapped him." I mumble softly

"Hmpf, good. Can I punch him next time he hurts you though?"

"No"

"Fine"

I chuckle at his childish behavior. Suddenly my stomach growls and I look sheepishly at Jay.

"Let's get you some food"

I run towards the barbecue and stand next to Lauren, who's making the burgers.

"You want one?" she asks, raising both her eyebrows

"Yes, please"

I grab a sandwich and she puts one burger on it. I sigh at it happily.

Come to mama, my dear and sweet burger.

"Thanks!" I hop excitedly towards a chair and place myself on it

Someone sits beside me and tries to grab my burger from me. I look at the failing thief, who's grinning like a child.

"Naha Jake, go get your own burger"

"But she won't give me one" he whines

"What did you do?"

"What makes you think I did something?" He asks innocently, reaching for my burger once again

I give him a bored-just-tell-me-look and he sighs.
