His Forbidden Sweets (Complete)

Chapter 9

Riley threw his bag in the back of his roommate’s backseat. It was late in the afternoon because he had a final. After about an hour drive they were almost to his roommate’s house. 

“Ok first off the parents don’t know about all the parties so let's keep that quiet. Like i told you before there aren’t any extra beds so its the floor or the couch. Trust me you don’t want to spend the week on the floor but it’s up to you. And last but not least my baby sister is off limits!”

Riley almost laughed until he saw the serious look on his face. 

“I’m not kidding dude. She's kind of shy so I doubt she will hang around us much but when she is around she’s off limits.”

“Don’t worry I’m not a cradle robber. But I can’t promise she won’t be able to keep her hands off me.”

They pulled into the drive of a small two-story house. The guys grabbed their bags and headed inside.

Melody was grabbing a snack out of the cabinet when she heard someone walk up behind her. She let out a scream when he picked her up and spun her around. 

“Oh my god Landon put me down!!!” 

Landon put her down and gave her a big hug.

“Hey sis, miss me?”

“Always! I thought you were coming home tomorrow. DIdn’t you have a test today?”

“Yeah but I was done around two so I decided to head out today and surprise you guys.”

“Hey Mitchell where do I put my stuff?”

Melody just stood there staring at the greek god that just walked into the kitchen. She usually wasn’t into the buff, athletic type but damn he was gorgeous. 

“Hey Paxton come meet my sister, Melody.”

His eyes never left her and her heart rate spiked when he walked closer. 

“Hello beautiful, I’m Riley Paxton, you can call me whatever you want as long as I can call you mine.”

And then she remembered why she wasn’t into the athletic type like her brother. She didn’t know what to say to that, thankfully her brother pulled him out of the kitchen before it was uncomfortable. 

“What the fuck man!” 

“Landon Mitchell language!”

Landon and Riley looked at the door to find Landon’s parents walking in with arms full of groceries.

“Sorry mom.”

“Hi Mrs. Mitchell, nice to see you again. May I help you with those?”

Riley took the bags from her arms and followed Mr. Mitchell back into the kitchen. He was a little disappointed to see Landon’s sister was no longer in there. He put the bags on the counter and went back into the living room. After a quick chat with Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell, he followed Landon to his room to store his stuff for the week. 

“I swear to God man, if you talk to my sister like that again I’ll kill you. I told you off limits!”

Riley smirked. “Yeah but you didn’t tell me she looked like that. You always call her your baby sister, I was expecting some tiny, braceface or something. How old is your sister?”

“None of your business! I swear Paxton, you so much as flirt with her I’ll beat the shit out of you myself.”

“Ok Ok I get it! Hand’s off.”

“Why don’t you go text your cyber chick and forget about my baby sister.”
Riley smirked but did just that.

Good evening Sweets! How was your day? -R

It’s been another long day. I’m just happy it’s finally the weekend. -M

Yeah same. Any big plans? -R

I was hoping for a quiet weekend but I have a feeling it won’t be -M

Why’s that? -R

Melody debated on how much she should share, but decided she felt like she could trust him. After a week of getting to know each other he never showed any reason she shouldn’t.

My brother is visiting. Don’t get me wrong. I love my brother but he is a bit much and REALLY protective of me. It’s the main reason I didn’t want to go to the same college as him. It will be a good weekend...i hope...just not as quiet as usual. -M

Well if you need anyone to talk to just send me a text -R

Yeah if my brother knew I was talking to someone I met online he would probably kill us both. Talk to you later -M

Riley let out a chuckle and glanced at Landon.

Don’t worry Sweets it wouldn’t be the first time i’ve been threatened lol Later -R

“Hey Mitchell what time is dinner? I was thinking about taking a run before.”

“I don’t know, let's go ask mom.”

The guys walked into the kitchen. Landon’s mom and sister were fixing a large salad. Landon started to talk to his mom about dinner. Riley was staring at his sister. She was wearing jeans and a green tank top. Her hair was no longer pulled back and he could see she had red hair that ran all the way down her back. When he got to her face he noticed a slight blush on her cheeks and like she could feel his eyes on her she looked up at him. She had crystal blue eyes. 

“Paxton!”

He snapped out of it and looked at Landon. 

“Pizza will be here in 20 minutes. If you want to take a run you should go now.””

“Yeah I’ll be back.”

Riley walked out the door. Once he hit the road he took off. Something wasn’t right. Those eyes… he had to stop thinking about those eyes. What was he thinking...it was Landon’s little sister and as weird as it seemed he was talking to someone. He needed to figure out what to do about his Sweets. Who also had red hair and blue eyes...what were the chances?!? It was such a rare combination and yet here he had “met” two within a week of each other. That’s when he had a sinking feeling in his stomach. But he pushed it away. He made it back to the house in time to clean up and change before dinner.
