My bad boy neighbor is good? (Incomplete)

Chapter 19: New friends?

Lily's POV

It had been two days since we came to this unknown place and me and Brent haven't had a straightforward conversation ever since the first night, he's usually out and I just do whatever since I have nothing to do, the only time I really get to see him is when he brings dinner or he changes the bandages on my hand.

I get bored most of the time and walk around the beach, even though Brent tells me not to go out to much. Well at least he states that in his notes.

Why can't he just talk to me to my face!! Jerk.

Well he's not here so what does it matter to him anyways, so right now that's what I'm doing, sitting on the beach lost in my boring thoughts. I feel like I'm living here alone, I just want someone to talk to and keep me company .

I lay down on the sand under me, only to jump back up and curse under my breath, the sand's freaking hot!!

Once I'm done cursing at myself, I hear the laughter I drowned out behind me, I purse my lips and groan closing my eyes at how embarrassing that was.

I turned around slowly and saw a guy a little taller than me but shorter than Brent laughing, while clutching his stomach, at me

"Hey, cute and funny, what's your name" he asks throwing a charming smile at me

"I don't talk to strangers"

"Well then how else do you make new friends" he says teasingly

"I don't" I muttered, I didn't mean for it to be rude but judging by his quiet reaction it most likely did

"Sorry, I'm just not much of a talker" I said, my eyes glued to the sand under me

"It's fine I get it" he says and surprisingly sits down next to me, his eyes on the water in front of us

"Lily."

"Huh?" He asks turning to look at me

"My name, its lily"

"Well nice to meet you lils, I'm Jessie" lils? That's what Brandon called me, as much as I try not to let it bother me I still cringe at the stupid nickname he gave me

"Can you... Not call me lils, please" I let out quietly

"Uh yeah sure" the confused and curious expression on his face is evident but he soon goes back to his bubbly personality "ok then what should i call you li-" he was about to say lils again wasn't he, I laugh at the scared look he has on his face that leaves when he sees me laughing

"How about lets just go with lily for now, kay" I say trying not to smile at the cute look on his face

"Sooner or later I will find a nickname for you, liiiily" he chuckles

For a few minutes we just sit in silence, enjoying the weather

"Oh shit" he looks at his watch "I was supposed to meet my brother at 3!!" I won't lie I had expected him to get tired of my boring personality and leave, I just can't tell if this was just a excuse to leave.

He rushed up and started running back, yup it was definitely a excuse. At least that's what I thought until he turned around to me.

"Lily, uh I'll see you around" he turns around ready to run again, but comes to stand at his earlier position "Meet me here at 2 tomorrow?"

"Umm, I'm not sure" I state bluntly

"Pleeeease" he pouted, like a little kid

"What are you 5?" I laughed

"So you'll be here, right?"

"Uhhh-"

"I'll take that as a yes, seeeeee youuuu tomorrrrooowww" he yelled, running back towards the roads

Once again I am left alone on this lonely beach, I stay put for about an hour more until I head back to the house

When I am close to the road separating the houses and the beach I turn to look back at the beach, the number of people here are growing by the day, I wonder why.

I stand in front of the big house that was most likely empty as always and head in.

I sit in my room, not knowing what to do. I look down at my uncomfortable skirt, the longest one I could find and decide to change into something more comfortable since I wouldn't be going anywhere the rest of the day.

I walk in to the closet and find a pair of shorts and a t-shirt which compliments my curves perfectly.

I walk back into my room and slip off my clothes, I look at the skirt and the plain black shirt on my bed and put that away in the book bin which I use as a laundry basket ever since I put the dirty bed sheets in there.

The boom of my door hitting the wall echoes in my room along with the small scream that left my lips, I was in the middle of putting my shorts on and I hear the door burst open disturbing the silence.

I finish slipping my shorts on and quickly reach for my shirt, scared to turn around. Yet I am forced too, I need to know what's happening.

I turn around with my eyes shut, the first people that pop up in my head aren't pleasant.

"Open your eyes" I hear a sigh "it's just me"

Brent.

I open my eyes and questions flood my mind, why. I see his eyes search my body and then back to my face

"What do you want?!" I was terrified, my body had been shaking at who it could be, the endless possibilities of why.

"Have you been hiding something from me?" His voice is angry, and his expressions went from calm to mad fast after my question

"W-what are you t-talking about?" There were a lot of things that he didn't know, I just didn't know which he was talking about

"Are... are you hurt?" He asked worried

I think about it, how did he know? But I end up hold my hand out and saying "My hand remember"

"No, not that!!" He takes a deep breath and continues "I saw the bed sheets ok, and there can't be that much blood from just your hand"

"You were looking through my room?!!" Who the hell did he think he was, going through my stuff like that!!! Well, it wasn't my stuff but why would he?

"No, no I didn't but... the maid, she came to get the laundry and she showed me ok I wasn't invading your space!!"

Maid? He has a maid, and he's a high schooler? Really for all I know he doesn't have a job and I've never seen anybody living with him or even visiting, I heard his parents passed away. Did they leave him that much money?

I needed to find something to tell him, I had to get out of this mess!! So I said the most believable and embarrassing thing I could think of.

"The blood... i-it was from.... m-my
,my..."

"What? What is it!!"

"I was on my, my period" the look on his face was priceless, he was stunned, if I wasn't embarrassed myself I would have said he was blushing, but the bad boy blushing? Psht whatever

"Oh." That's all I heard from him

"Uh, I'm going to be out for dinner, I would ask for you to come but I have company so I brought you some food, it's in the kitchen"

As soon as I saw him turn I turned back around and started slipping my shirt from my chest to over my head. I sighed, I actually fooled the ba-

My breath hitched when I felt a hand under my elbow as I was halfway through putting my shirt on.
