Bad Boy Parker

Chapter 4

"I give you freedom and this is what happens?" "You bring a beaten up boy from a party!," mum lectured.

"He was trying to protect me!," "Ryan from school was hitting on me and Matt saved me," I exclaimed.

"Well from the looks of it ,he was already bruised before today," "he means trouble, I mean look at him with his well kept hair and his dreamy eyes," she lectured.

Matt from the couch trying to recover overheard our conversation,"Are you complimenting me Cassandras Mum,".

We looked at him and I let out a giggle. Matt winked back at me. Mum stared at the both of us with furious eyes.

"Cassandra!?" Mum yelled.
I got scared. "That boy is trouble you understand!,". She continued.

"This bruise was from a game I had last week if you didn't know," Matt answered.

"Looks like a punch bruise to me Mark!,".

"Its Matt actually, ow..," he let out.

"It's better you keep "MATILDA," She said to him.

"If we are keeping him here, you aren't going to see each other," mum ordered.
"I'm going to be gone by 12 am and you are going to be in your room, locked up away from him,".
"You understand?" She asked harshly.

"Yes I do," I let out disappointed.
"It's nine pm, go get some rest," she replied.

I went to my room and changed into my silk pajamas. I opened the door and peeked into the living room but Mum was still there putting ice on his face.

After a while, she left to go to her room and shut the door.
"Psst!," I sounded to Matt. He looked at me cautiously and drowsy at the same time.
I showed him my phone and he got the idea.

MATT: yenno I'm gonna 9.26pm
Sneak into your room right?

Me: Don't you dare, I'm in 9:26pm
my pajamas and
mums going
to sell your organs to the hospital!

MATT: Don't you have a 9:27pm
window in your
room or something?

I opened the door and nodded.
"Go to my room!," I whispered to him.
He leapt off the couch and headed straight to my room.
I went to the front door, opened and closed it then mom came out of her room.
"Where is He!?,".
"He left..," I answered hoping it would convince her.

"Okay then," and she went back to sleep.
I sneaked into my room and shut the door.
I turned around and "woah!," I covered my eyes.
"What, never seen a boy shirtless?," he smiled. "I thought we were having a pajama party?".

"Matt put on a shirt!," I said still covering my eyes.

"I like your pajamas, they're pretty cute," he said making me feel more uncomfortable.

Though the bandage around his stomach was still there, his abs were totally showing.

I removes my hands and shook my head. I opened my closet and took out a sleeping bag. "You sleep on the floor tonight," I motioned.
"But it's cold Cass, and I'm injured...and helpless," he said with sad eyes.

"You're dirty too, your pants had Ryan's blood on it," I said.

"Fine then I'll take it off," he said seriously.

"Wait no no no!" I said rushing.
He removes his pants and underneath revealed basketball shorts.

"I'm always prepared see, you didn't think I wasn't wearing anything underneath did you?" He said mockingly.

"Whatever ," I rolled eyes at him then threw a pillow at his face.

He laying comfortably on my bed surrounded with my fluffy cushions.
I sat down on my bed looking at him.

"I wanna get to know you Cassandra" He repeated just as before.

"Well ask me questions then, but I'll have to ask you questions too," I replied.

"Okay then," he spoke.

"What's your full name?" He asked.

"Cassandra Wendy Harper," I replied.

"You?".

"Matthew Sky Parker," he answers.

"What's your favourite place in the world?" He asks.

"Hmmm that's a good question.. maybe Greece or Tahiti," I answered.

"My grandparents live in Greece" Matt answers.

"That's pretty cool," I say excitingly.

"Why were you talking to Vivian?" I ask.

Matt suddenly lets out a sigh.
"Well... you see she's just jealous,".
"We had a thing, and I grew bored with her because she was just so, dictating," he adds.

"That makes sense," I say.

"No let me finish I owe you an explanation" he adds. "

"I dated all four of them," he finishes guilty.

"What...," I let out and shift away from him a little.

"Did you sleee..," but he cuts he off.
"No! I mean no," and he tries to calm me down.

"You just want to do the same to me don't you," I add.

"Cassandra please listen," he continues.

I get up and go to my window.
I open it and motion outside to him.
He still remains unmoved and continues to lay on my bed as if it was his own.

I stand firm near the window and look at Matt. He smiled cheekily at me then slowly his eyes begin to close.
He lays as if he had just died.

"Matt?," I call out.

And move closer.

"Gnargrggggzzzs," he snores.

"Did you just fall asleep!" I exclaim.

I decide to cover him and sleep on the edge of my bed.

I slowly drift away and fall asleep next to BrentFall High School's biggest bad boy.
