Falling In Love With A Bad Boy

Chapter 19

As he drove me to grandpa's house, we talked and He held my hand.

"Do you think that we can go out tomorrow night?"

"Yes."

"What will you say?"

"I will think of something."  I said as I smiled over at him. 

He continues to hold me hand and rub his thumb across the top of my hand.  This is nice, I wish we could be like this all the time.  We really don't say much  to each other, but I steal glances at him every once in awhile. 

When we got to the end of grandpa's road, he stopped the car.  He leaned over and put his hand on the back of my head, and kissed me.  I know that he didn't want to chance having my grandpa see. When he finished kissing me, he headed to the driveway.

"I wish I didn't have to go in." I said with a pout face. 

"You don't want to get into trouble.   But if you do......"  He gave me a evil grin.

"You are right.   Talk to you later?"

"Yeah.  Good night."  He told me as I got out of the car.

"Night." I said as I shut the door.

Grandpa must have been watching, he opened the front door before I even made it up the stairs.  

"Chase isn't coming in?"  Grandpa asked.

"No, Travis dropped me off.  Chase is hanging out with a girl he likes."

"Oh.  I am not too sure out that Travis though.  He doesn't seem right.  Was he ok when he brought you home?"  Grandpa really looks worried.

"Yes.  He was fine.  We just talked."

"He talks?  Huh, I haven't heard but 5 words out of his mouth!  Well, I am going to bed.  Night baby girl."  He said as he kissed my cheek and walked up the stairs.

"Night."  I head up to my room and change into pj's. 

I headed back down to the kitchen and make a cup of hot  tea.  I wanted to watch tv for awhile.  I snuggle in to my grandma's favorite recliner and find Lost in Austen on BBC.  I love my old historical movies.  Jane Austen movies are my favorite.

I must have fallen asleep.  Next thing I know, grandpa is waking me up for breakfast. 

I had the most wonderful dream.  I was the one in movie and Travis was Mr. Darcy.  It felt like a fairy tale.  I guess he kinda is like Mr. Darcy in a way.  Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in that era and find true love to last a lifetime?  I could only wish.

I get myself out of my trance and head to the kitchen slowly.  My neck hurts from sleeping in the chair all night.  I roll my head and stretch out a little. 

"I got worried when I didn't find you in your room."  Grandpa said.

"I wanted to watch a movie.  I hope I didn't disturb you.  I guess I fell asleep."

"I didn't hear a thing!  I have fell asleep in that chair many of times.  It make me feel close to your grandma.  God do I miss her!"  Grandpa said with tears in his eyes.

I hug him and said, "I do too.  I like to sit there too."

"So, what do you want to eat?"

"Want to go out?  I am craving biscuits and gravy."

"Yes, that sounds really good right now.  Maybe throw some bacon in the mix!"  Grandpa joked.  He knows he can't have bacon, he has high cholesterol.

"Nope, but I will eat the bacon!"  I joke.

"Ok, go get dressed.  I am starved!"

As I head upstairs, my phone dings. 

Travis- What are you doing?

Me- Going to get breakfast with papa.

Travis- Damn, I was going to take you out.  Where are you going?

Me- I don't know.  Grandpa is picking place.

Travis-   Can't you blow him off and go with me?

Me-  Of course not! 

Travis-  Well, tonight you are all mine.   We will go out at 7. 

Me-  Ok.

Travis-  I will text you where to meet me.

Me- Ok.  I have to get dressed now.

Travis- Send me a pic!

Me- No!  

Travis- Party pooper!

Me- Bye.

Who does he think he is asking me for a picture of me dressing?  Is he crazy?  I would never do that.  What could he possibly be thinking? 

I hurry up and get dressed.  I want to enjoy my morning and not think of Travis being a dick.  When I got to the bottom of the stairs, grandpa was by the door waiting.  I put on my shoes, hoodie, and grab my wallet.

"Are you ok?  You look upset."  Grandpa asked with his brow creased.

"I am fine.  Just starving!"  I tried to play it off.

The whole time at breakfast I kept trying to think of ways to get out of the house tonight.  I could say I am going shopping, but papa will try to come with me.  I have to have a good excuse to be gone for hours. 

"What are we doing tonight kid?"

"I was thinking of going to Victoria Secrets and get me some, um, personals.  I was gonna meet up with my friend Jane to see a movie.  She is in town visiting family."  I hate lying to him.  But how else would I get out.

"Sounds good.  I can call Frank and play cards tonight."

Now all I have to do is call Jane and have her cover for me.  She is not going to be happy with me.  She hates Travis and the way he treated me.  She is my best friend, but I really want to be with him.  I hope she understands.
