Notorious Bad Boy — Chapter 30

****

Blake's POV

As I laid in my empty bed I replayed the night over in my head.

"I..I..I need to..." I began to stutter.

This was it, I would tell her the thing that I was dreading the most.

The thing that could either make or break us...

"I need to tell you something." I said to her, she looked at me with eyes that told me to continue.

The more I stuttered, the more nervousness appeared on her face.

Each time I tried to form the words in my mouth, nothing would come out. I had no idea What to say or how to say it.

This whole week I convinced myself that I was going to tell her, but I guess my mouth didn't get the memo.

When I thought I was ready to tell her I opened my mouth and something came out that I wasn't expecting at all.

"I...I probably wont see you a lot this week. I have a lot of business to take care of." I said.

She looked at me puzzled, I was positive that I looked the same way to her.

I wasn't supposed to say that! I just lied to her without even trying!

My heart immediately started to beat faster as I thought about how I lied to her.

I honestly wanted to tell her but I guess my bad boy self conscience took over and took matters into his own hands.

Samantha was annoyed with me for a little after that, because she knew "business" meant gang/violent/secret related things that I had to take care of. But really I was just meeting some girl, but as harmless as it seemed I was more afraid to face Michelle then I was too chase gang members on my bike.

Eventually Samantha got over it and she told me that she loved me and wanted to be with me.

When she told me that I felt so many mixed emotions. I was so happy that she fmally wanted to pick up where we left off but I couldn't ignore the feeling of guilt.

As much as I wanted to hold Samantha and lay with her tonight I couldn‘t. I have to meet Michelle today at noon and I knew it would make Samantha more curious then she already is.

I let out a large sigh and looked over to the clock, it was already 10am. I had this idea in my head that the longer I stay in bed, the less real this would have to be...but this was going to happen whether I liked it or not.

I reluctantly got up from my bed and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

I talked to Kevin the other night and set this whole date up. He told Michelle I wanted to meet her at some coffee shop out of town. Which worked out well because I didn't want to risk the chance of being seen by anyone the I would know. Just the thought of someone that knew Samantha seeing me with a girl that wasnt her scared me.

"Hey bro." Alexa said as I walked into the kitchen.

"Hey." I said as I poured myself a bowl of cereal.

"Listen Blake, this must be really hard for you to do. I just want to tell you how much Alex and I appreciate it. I know how you feel about Michelle and I know how much you love Samantha, and to risk it all just to save our asses is...is amazing." Alexa said

I looked up at him surprised. I wasn't expecting that at all. Alexa was all for this plan a couple of days ago and now I could tell he feels bad.

"Its to save all our asses. Its no problem. Gotta do, what ya gotta do, right?" I said

Alexa just smiled at me sympathetically and nodded his head.

"Little bro how did it go when you told Samantha?" I heard Alex ask as he walked into the kitchen.

I was not prepared for that question and I could tell that Alex noticed that by the angry look that was form'm on his face.

“You didnt tell her?!" Alex asked strongly.

"I...I-I tried, but I couldnt do it." I said disappointed in myself.

"Your an asshole Adrian." Chase said before he stormed out.

I looked over to Michael who still had the sympathetic expression plastered all over his face.

"Listen he's just hungover and cranky, he doesnt mean it." Alexa said.

"He does, and hes right...I am an asshole."

***

I sat at the small table outside the coffee shop jittering my hands. I was so nervous, for so many reasons. I was also being paranoid and checking over my shoulder every 10 seconds to see if anyone Samantha knew was here.

Its was 12:15 and I really wasnt expecting to be waiting here for Michelle. The girls obsessed with me and I was sure she would be waiting here for me. Maybe she doesn't like me anymore and she fell in love with some other guy and doesn't even want to come, but like clock work I heard her high pitched nasally voice call me by the awful nickname she uses for me.

"Blakey baby!" I heard her shout.

Bla-ke I wanted to shout at her angrily but I had to bite my lip to stop me. I had to make it seem that I had some what of an interest in her, even though all I wanted to do was get the hell away from her.

"Michelle." I said as enthusiastically as I could, which wasn't very enthusiastically.

I had an internal debate inside my head whether I should get up and hug her, but I forgot about it once she pulled out the seat and sat across from me.

"Blakey baby your looking very sexy." She said in seductive voice, that only made me want to gag.

"Your not looking to bad yourself." I said trying my best to flirt with her.

I wasn't lying Michelle did look good. Its not like she was ever ugly. She had long blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes.

I always used to think she was pretty, until her true personality came out which made her ugly to me.

She chuckled in a response and batted her eyelashes at me. Each time I looked her, the memories of Michelle's torture flooded my mind.

"I wasn't surprised when Kevin told me that you wanted to meet up. I knew you would be crawling back to me." She said.

I took a sip of my coffee and thought over how I really wanted to respond to that statement. They all went along the lines of

"you stupid crazy bitch stay away from me." But I couldn't do that.

"A little cocky are we?" I said to her I knew I had to act interested but still be a jerk, thats what girls like Michelle are into.

"Hmm...not cocky, confident." She said as he sipped her drink.

"I like your way of thinking." I said with a fake smirk on my face.

"You always did." She said with a wink. LIES, a voice shouted in my head.

"Your right, I did." More lies the voice said again.

"So why so far away from home Blakey baby? I know for a fact that you live in the next town over. Are you trying to hide me?" She asked playfully.

"Of course not. Why would I want to hide a beautiful girl like you? This coffee shop is one of my favorite places to go." I said.

"Well I have a favorite place to go too." She said.

"Wheres that?" I asked attempting to sound interested.

"The mall." She said with a smirk that I wasn't understanding.

"They have a great mall here." I said.

"But I like the mall by where you live." She said.

"Its ok there but I like the mall here." I responded nervously.

"Blakey baby is there a problem with going to the mall where you live?" She asked like she already knew the answer.

I had to put myself on top again, make her know whose the boss and whose in control.

"No problem just thought you wouldn't want to be bothered by all the girls over there that know me. Theres quite a few that have the cutest little crushes on me, its really adorable." I said with a smirk.

"Whatever, then maybe we could go somewhere else?" She asked as she clenched her jaw out of anger.

I forgot how jealous she used to get at even the mention of a girls name.

"What makes you think I want to go somewhere With you." I said playfully.

"Well if you dont, I can change your mind." She said seductively.

"No need, how about tomorrow night?" I said quickly.

"Its a date." She said with a wink.

If by date, she meant complete torture and putting me through utter hell...then yeah it was a date.
