The Badboy's Daughter

Chapter 5

*Skye's POV*

You'd think riding with Alex would be awkward right? Well it's actually not at all. There's no awkward silences, and if there's a silence it's a nice silence.

We are listening to the radio at the moment, and I'm humming to the familiar song playing as we drive.

"Heey Alex I forgot to ask. Why did you call me Birdy when you texted me?" I ask looking over at him.

"I don't know, it suits you. I like it" he smiles to himself.

"Okay" I smile as we pull up in his driveway.

His house was massive, obviously his family are rich. The gardens bloomed with every flower known to man kind probably. It was absolutely beautiful.

I notice Alex bend down next to the garden and pull a flower out. A rose, my favourite flower.

"For you Birdy" he says passing it to me as he stands.

I look away attempting to hide the blush he just caused.

"C'mon lets go inside" he says grabbing my hand and pulling me inside.

Remember you hate him for what he did to you! My inner conscience screams.

I block that thought out as I hold the rose closely to my chest.

"No one's home" he says to me. "Where do you want to work?"

"The lounge room's fine" I smile as he leads me there.

I place my bag on the floor and start pulling out my English book and pencil case and so on. Alex does the same.

"So basically we need to pick a topic and do a presentation about it. Seems easy enough. The hardest part is thinking of a topic we both wanna do. Any ideas?" I ask looking at him.

He thinks for a minute and I think too.

"I've got one" he says.

"Oh good! What is it?" I smile.

"Rape" he says bluntly.

I stiffen in my chair.

"Why that topic?" I say harshly.

"It's something I'm passionate about. I know it's silly" he says facing down hiding his face.

"It's not silly. It's just an unusual topic but I like it. I mean it can lead to negative consequences for example unwanted or unexpected pregnancies. I like it" I say still in shock.

"Okay good" he says and we start working on our presentation.

"Want something to eat?" Alex asks looking out from the side of the fridge.

"No I'm okay thankyou" I reply.

"Too bad your having something. Hmm, do you like icecream?" He questions.

"That's an understatement. Yes I like icecream" I laugh.

"Awesome, I have cookies and cream and I have some cookie dough I cut up and put in it. Would you like that?"

"No way! That's what I do!" I exclaim mostly impressed that we both do that.

"Cold rock!" We both yell in unison, before both laughing.

"Yum" I say hopping up off the couch and walking over to where he was standing and preparing his icecream.

He sticks his finger in the icecream container and before I can tell him off for it, the icecream on his finger is on my nose.

"Alex!" I scream.

"Oops finger must have slipped, sorry Birdy" he chuckles continuing preparing the icecream for us.

"Mmm" I say in satisfaction as I eat my icecream. "I just got a chunk of cookie dough" I smile.

"That's the best bit" he says during a mouthful.

"I can see the icecream in your mouth gross!" I laugh.

"Like this" he says widening his mouth so I get a full view of everything in his mouth.

"Your disgusting" I said smacking him.

"Oh well" he laughs.

Today has been the best day. Despite the idea of doing rape as our topic it's been a good day. I can't wait till the next time we have to work on our project. Oh goodness, what's happening to me!?
