Loving the Bad

chapter 12

Wednesday 7:30 a.m.

     When I woke up the next morning and the other half of my bed was empty. I'm guessing Anthony left earlier to avoid meeting my dad and the conversation with him.

     I rolled out of bed and headed for the bathroom. Then I proceeded to do my daily routine. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and hair. I blended foundation on my face, caked mascara on my eyelashes, and added some glimmering highlighter, keeping my look light and natural.

     I put on a red crop top, light skinny jeans, red vans and my jean jacket.

     I grabbed my phone and bag then headed downstairs, to the fridge grabbing a bagel and cream cheese for breakfast, and put the bagel in the toaster.

     "So who was that kid?" My dad startled me when I heard his voice behind me. "Just a friend and I can promise you that we did not have sex if that's what your thinking. Also, where were you last night it was almost 4 by the time you got home." I said hoping that he wouldn't assume anything. "No I wasn't thinking that.. and I was... Working late, there's this new project and I was assigned to it." He seemed unsure in his words, as if he was hoping I'd believe what he was saying.

    "Dad let's be honest, are you fucking your assistant on the side or something like that? Or was it your boss? Ooouu Boss's assistant?"

     He flashed his million dollar smile, chuckling at my words. "Noo why?"

     "You just seem like you're happier about something Dad. I like you happy. Puts me in a better mood." I returned the smile to him.

     "Well Becca I need to talk to you, I mentioned to you I was assigned to this new project, the boss said I need to meet with the buyer to discuss priorities. The buyer's wants, needs, and desires always come first." He let out a deep sigh then continued. "The buyer is in Italy. After I meet with the buyer I have to meet with corporate in New York. The plane ticket is being paid for and the hotels along with a rental car. So I leave Friday morning and I'll be back not this coming up Tuesday but the next. I'll leave you plenty of money for whatever you need. I'll always have my phone on me so if there's an emergency call at anytime." He let out a deep breath, as if he was releasing something off his chest.

     I love my dad very much, but ever since I moved to California he's never really home. I don't have a problem with it, I'm just lonely when he goes on these "business trips" (I guess you'd call it that). "Ok dad I understand, I just hope you're safe. I love you so much. I'll miss you. I'm gonna head off to school now." I hugged him. Grabbed my cream cheese bagel and keys then walked out the door.

     I started my car and headed for school. My phone vibrated and I looked to see who it was.

Anthony: hope you don't think I left early to avoid you or something, I had to get ready for school

     I didn't reply because texting and driving is very dangerous. No joke.

     A short drive later I arrived at school. I parked my car, grabbed my bag and headed towards the cafeteria to meet up with Marcia.

     "Heyy bitchhh" I was greeted by Marcia yelling at me half way across the cafeteria. "Wassup?" I smiled at her. "Nun tryna hop on Liam's dick as always. You still up to stay at my house tonight?" She chuckles.

     "Your such a hoe," I playfully shoved her. "And about that, how bout tonight let's stay at my house then tomorrow and Saturday I'll stay at your place."

     "Yeah I'm down for whatever. Why what's up?"

     "My dad's going to Italy apparently, I just found out this morning. I think he's gotta secret family on the side or something. Last night Anthony stayed the night, and before you ask no we did not fuck surprisingly, anyways he came home at 4 a.m. then this morning he was all jolly and smiley about some shit. I don't know he seemed real fishy but it's ok I get the whole house to my self for more than a week which means–"

     "Party time!!!!!" Marcia and I cheered at the same time.

     "Mind if I steal her for a sec." I turned around and came face to face with Anthony. I'd recognize his voice a million miles away. I walked away to his locker with him.
 
     "You left me on read this morning.. I hope you aren't mad at me for leaving early." I could hint a little but of sadness in the tone of his voice.

     "What? No I understood.. trust me."

     "Well, what did your dad say?" He seemed eager to know.

     "He wasn't mad I told him that we are just friends and I assured him that we DID NOT have sex."

     "Wait so let me get this straight, he's okay with you having a guy stay the night and sleep in YOUR bed?" He looked at me with a questionable look.

     "Sorta kinda, I don't really know. I'm almost 100 percent sure he thinks I'm a lesbian even though I'm bisexual. I just like girls more. One time he thought me and Marcia were like together in a serious relationship. I had to explain to him a million times that we're just best friends before he understood." I chuckled.

     Now that I think about it, my dad assumes every girl I'm around is either my girlfriend or my fuck buddy, which is DEFINITELY NOT the case whatsoever.

     "Wow then I should stay the night a lot more often." He smiled and winked at me.

     "Oh yeah I almost forgot to tell you. Tomorrow morning my dad leaves for Italy and he won't be back for a week or so. Marcia is staying the night tonight and I'm staying the night at her house tomorrow, after the party. But, I'm thinking about throwing a huge party next Friday. What do you think?"

     "As long as get to stay the night." He gave me a devious smile. Then the bell rang, announcing that class has started.

     "Here let me walk you to class." He grabbed my hand and led the way with his smile still plastered on his face. I could feel my hand getting sweaty because I was nervous about walking through school with THE Anthony Diaz.

     He's always so smiley when he's around just me. I don't even smile as much as he does around anyone.

     Just as we were about to part ways he kissed my cheek, and neck, then whispered "See you later babe." Into my ear.

     Anytime I felt physical contact between us I could feel a tsunami preparing in my panties. God have mercy on my soul. I wish I could prevent this from happening.
