The Bad Boy Next Door

Chapter 8 - I can't draw for shit...

Robyn Williams

After I entered the house and said goodbye to James, I walked into the living room and found my mother passed out on the couch, with "How I met your mother" showing on the television. I walked over to the coffee table and picked up the remote and turned the television off. I placed the remote back down, kissed my mother lightly on the forehead and headed up to my room.

As I lay here in my bed, I think about how Liana is going to get home. Come to think of it, I haven't see her since I got out the car and that was at least 4 hours ago. Its probably about 1 o' clock in the morning by now.

Saying that she'll come home soon, I pull my sheets over my shoulders and curl up. And slowly drift into sleep.

"Liana!" That's the first thing I hear when I wake up. I snap my eyes open and jump out of my bed and run to my window. There I see my mother suffocating Liana in a tight hug. I sigh in relief to know that she's okay.

I quickly strip of my pajamas and pull over a pink crop top and a short, blue jeans. I put on my flip flops and rush out my room. I run down the stairs and as I run through the front door I engulfed Liana in a suffocating hug.

"Liana!" I scream in relief.

Thank you Lord that she's home.

"Where have you been?" I question, still holding her.

But as my eyes landed on a particular brunette behind her, I immediately let her go and marched up to him.

"Where'd you take her after the party?" I asked angrily while pointing my finger in his face.

"Good morning to you too Sunshine," he says with a smirk.

"Don't you...wait...sunshine?" I ask in confusion. Where'd he get that from. Last time I checked, I am not a morning person.

"I know right! Like this morning he called me buttercup," Liana exclaims.

"Right. Back to what I was saying. Where'd you take her after the party?" I repeated myself.

"We had-" but he was quickly cut off by Liana when he slapped her hand over his mouth and exclaimed,

"We had and ice cream date!"

"An ice cream...date?" I repeated questioningly. I don't know why but that made me feel...odd.

"Yup. And I had rum and raisin and so did he so we got a little tipsy and crashed on a bench in the park," she rushed out. When she decided to let go of Jaden's mouth, he spoke,

"So I'll just be going then..." He say awkwardly walking backward toward his house.

"Yeah you do that!" Liana quickly says and as the word "that" got out her mouth, she was already halfway inside the house.

"Liana!" Both my mother and I cried out.

"What's up with her?" Jaden asks. I thought he left?

"I have no idea. But I'm about to fimd out," I say and copy Liana and rush inside the house.

I climb the stairs, missing out one with each step I take, and rush to Liana's bedroom door.

I turn the knob but its lock. Of course.

"Liana! Open up the door!" I scream, banging my fists on her baby blue door.

"No! Just go away Robyn!" She hollers from the other side.
