Bad Boy Fell Hard |✔

Chapter 36

I open the main door of the cabin and I met with a familiar pair of blue eyes that I have grown to love. Ryder! Oh God.

"Hi princess." He says in his deep husky voice sending me chills down my spine. Seeing him right now makes me realize how much I've missed him. I missed him calling me princess. God, I've missed him so much.

His lips curled into a sexy smirk at me. He looked so different, like four days had changed him a lot. He looked more muscular in his white vest that showed his big muscles.

A lot of emotions are swirling in me. I want to jump into his arms and hug him, I want to kiss him so badly and I want to slam the door across his face to act dramatic.

Instead I jump into his arms and his hands find their way to my waist as my hands wrap around his torso. God, I've missed his arms and his warmth. I take a deep breath as I breathe him in. I've missed his cologne.

"I missed you, idiot" I muse while still wrapped around him. "I missed you more, princess." He says through my hair.

"Don't start the baby making process from the door, we still have a game to continue." Jason yells and I gasp at what he has just said.

Baby making process, seriously?

I pull away from Ryder and stare into his ocean eyes, he stares back at me with an emotion.... Actually emotions, happiness, excitement, and some other emotion I don't know. I'm not an emotion reader or anything like that.

"We are waiting for the next round, the game has to continue." Amelia pokes her head from the wall that separates the door and the living room. Oh that!

"Coming," I say and turn away from Ryder, who grabs a hold of my hand as we head to the living room together. Okay this is weird but I can't put it in me to shoo away his hand. It feels right, kinda.

"Look who finally decided to join us," Theo says while rolling his eyes. Ryder greets Jason's cousins with those bro hugs as he settles next to me.

"Cole, truth or dare?" I ask,

"Dare." He says and I grin widely, Asshole!

"I dare you to go around the room and smell everyone's armpits." I say and he scrunches his nose in disgust.

"Euu.... no! I'll go with truth." He says.

"Do you like Melisa in a way more than friends?" I say and he freezes. He then gets up and starts to smell everyone's armpits. I mean how bad could they be, we all just showered like 30 minutes ago.

------------------------

The game finally comes to an end with many of us wanting it to end because the dares and truths were becoming extremely weird, disgusting and disturbing. I can't even seem to get them in my head because my poor brain can't take them.

"Where will Ryder rest?" Cole asks with a smirk across his face. What is he up to now?

"Wait, I thought Ryder and Nora were an official couple." Cornelius says and I choke on the water I was drinking. I cough violently while holding onto my stomach and mouth.

A couple? No!

"Um.... We are not a couple." I say after gaining my composure. Thank God Ryder ain't here or this would have been so awkward. Ryder and I are not a couple, I don't even know if we are friends. I actually don't know what we are.

"Not yet." Aiden comes into the room with Daniel behind him.

"Huh?!" I say looking at him confused. If they are planning on setting us up, their plan will fall to the ground. That's not happening. Not that I don't want it to happen, I just want it to happen naturally.

"Nothing." He says with a shrug and continues, "Ryder will be sleeping in Nora's room since it's the biggest-"

"What?!" I say while dropping my glass of water and staring at Aiden wide eyed. What the hell is going on?

"You didn't let me finish. Since they are not a couple, Ryder can take my room because the boys and I are going to prepare for the hiking tomorrow morning." He says but I think they have a devious plan up in their little brains.

"Thank God." I say as I let out a breath of air I didn't know I was holding. That would be so awkward.

"Don't be too happy darling, it won't stay like that for a long time." Theo says, smirking at me.

Wait what?

"Good night everybody, no doing the dirty." Aiden says while heading out the house with duffel bags.

I don't get why they have to go right now to prepare for the hiking, can't they wait till tomorrow early morning.

Boys will be boys.

I head to my room, dress up in my swimsuit (I packed the bikinis for the beach) and tie my hair in a high messy bun then turn on the Jacuzzi and hope into the water. It's starting to get cold because winter is almost coming and it gets chilly at night. I'm not really sleepy right now, I just need to rest my body and relax.

I hear a knock at my door and yell a 'come in' because I'm not getting out of this water any time soon.

"Looks like someone is already enjoying themselves." Ryder says and I quickly open my eyes, he is standing next to my bed staring at me with amusement. What? Why am I here then, isn't that this trip was about?

"Leave me to relax, this happens once in a while." I say as I shut my eyes. "What are you doing here, anyway?" I continue.

"I need to talk to you."

"Can't it wait until tomorrow?" I whine with my eyes still closed. I know what he wants to talk about and I don't wanna talk about it right now.

"I didn't get my reply the last time we met." He says straight to the point and I gulp down the saliva in my mouth. I open my eyes quickly and get out of the Jacuzzi as I get my towel and wrap it around my body.

"Okay yes, I do have feelings for you-" I admit. After a long time of thinking about it, I realized that I like Ryder. I'm scared of the consequences of liking him. There are so many reasons to be scared.

"But?" Ryder asks as I head to the walk in closet to put on my night pajamas. Of course he was expecting a 'but'

After getting dressed, I head out and walk towards him, "I don't want my heart shattered again." I say as I look into his eyes with honesty.
