In love with a bad neighbor

Chapter seventeen - Teaser

Emma's POV:

I need to stop Ricky. I have the feeling that soon he will understand everything and it will be game over for me. I don't want this jerk to be in my house every day. To be honest, I have no idea how he found Vince. It might be a coincidence or he has followed him, which means that he knows where my neighbor lives. If this turns out to be true, then both of us are in danger. Vince will be dead, and I grounded for infinite time. I can't let this happen. I care too much about him to let him go. Not now. Moreover, we don't do illegal things. I think that every teenager has done that. Even my parents when they were our age. If I had a normal life, I would've been scared of dad. Well, in my case, I am scared of mom. She will get very mad at me if she understands that I have been doing things with the wrong boy. By the wrong boy, I mean Vince. If it was Ricky, she was going to be happy. There is no way that I will do whatever it is with this jerk. I hate him so much. I don't know what has happened with him, but lately, he is different. I hope that he won't make me do things for him. Otherwise, I will call Vince, no matter that this means that he has to tell everyone who he is. It's risky, but I don't have any choice. Let's hope that nothing of this will happen.

I woke up and walked to the window. It became like a habit. I always check if Vince has woken up. It's not like I will do anything. I just want to know. I think that he noticed me. He is not going to make it easy for me. On purpose, he went to his wardrobe and took off his shirt. I hate him for that. My neighbor knows exactly what he is doing. I kept staring at him like he was a model or something like that. Damn it! Why is he doing it? I want to stop, but at the same time, I like the view. It will be better if I move. No matter that I didn't want it, I got up and closed the window.

Finally, I went to get ready. I would've done it earlier if Vince hadn't decided to make a small show in front of me. I will talk with him about that on the way to school. I hope that no one else saw it. It's not like his parents care so much about what he is doing every morning. When I was done, I walked downstairs for breakfast. For some reason, I was in a good mood. I sat in front of my dad and started eating. Both with mom looked at me like I had done something bad.

- What?

- Nothing. You are in a good mood today. - dad said

- I know.

- Can we know why?

- Yes, but I can't tell you. I don't know why I am like that.

- Well, in that case, I hope that no one will ruin it.

- Me too.

Later, I walked until the end of the street to wait for Vince. To my surprise, he was already there waiting for me. I guess that the game will continue. He was in tight black jeans, a shirt that shaped his body, and a leather jacket. I feel like this is payback. I didn't do it on purpose that day. Who knew that boys get distracted so easily? I didn't say anything and started walking.

- Won't you greet me?

- After your little show, you don't deserve anything.

- You liked it, didn't you?

- No comment.

- That answered my question.

The whole walk to school, Vince was bugging me. I don't know what is wrong with him today, but he is different. I feel like he will continue teasing me the whole day. It might not be that bad, but if I want to keep us a secret, I need to control more. We are not dating, officially, but we do some things which are better if no one knows about them.

We walked into school, and I noticed how some girls looked at my friend. Usually, I am not a jealous person, but I won't lie that I didn't like it. After all, Vince is single, so I can't tell him with who he has to go out. I don't want to be like my mom. I walked to my locker, and he followed me. As I see, I won't have peace from him today.

- What do you want this time?

- Many things, but you won't give me any.

- If it's what I think it is, then you are right. Here I won't give you anything.

- What about at home?

- I will think about this.

Both of us walked to class. Derek and his friends sat right behind us so we talked until the teacher came. After this class, we walked into the hall. Vince waited until no one was watching and dragged me into the janitor's room. I told him that here we can't do anything. It's not like he will listen to me. After all, he tries to be a bad boy. It's not like this is working. Up to now, I haven't seen him doing anything bad.

- Can I know why we are here?

- I think that it's obvious.

- And I think that I have told you something.

- Maybe, but I don't care. - he said and kissed me

If this wasn't feeling so good, I was going to pull away and walk out of here. The thing is that I can't. I like this more than I will admit. Soon he carefully lifted me, and I wrapped my legs and hands around him. Damn it! I need to control myself more. Otherwise, he will use this against me and will never stop doing it. I have no problem with that, but if we were at home. It's risky there as well, but not that much. Well, now I am not afraid of his parents. Only of mine, or to say of mom. Vince pulled away and looked at me. Even if it's dark, I can feel his eyes on me.

- Let's go now. I don't want you to be late.

I didn't say anything. Mostly because I couldn't. I don't know what is going on with me, but when he does that, I feel frozen. Maybe it's because, up to now, I have never done anything like that. We walked to our next class. Until the last one, I couldn't keep myself focused. I don't know what is going on with me. Vince and I walked home together, but mostly he was talking. My head was somewhere else.

- Emma, are you ok?

- Hmm.

- I asked if you were ok. Your head was somewhere else.

- Yes, I was just thinking about something.

- Was that something me?

With that, I looked at him. How does he know? I didn't say anything and nodded my head. He wrapped his hand around me and pulled me for a hug. Even this feels amazing. I don't want to fall for him because we can't be together. Not with all the problems which I have. Well, I won't lie that I would love it if we continue from where we stopped. This wasn't enough. Not for me.

- Sadly, now I have to leave you.

- Why?

- We reached the end of the street. Well, in our case, that is the beginning.

- Oh, yeah.

- Are you sure that you are ok? Today you look different and I am not talking about your look. It's like your body is here, but you are not. You can tell me if there is a problem.

- No, everything is fine. I will go now. Bye, Vince.

- Bye, Emma.

I walked home, straight to my room. What the heck is wrong with me today? I am acting like he is my crush or something. Maybe I shouldn't mess with him at all. Now, it's too late. If I start ignoring him, Vince will think that he has done something and might get mad again. I sat next to the window and looked in front of me. I need to understand what is going on with me before Vince and I do something. I looked at my phone and realized that I have stayed like that for an hour. Soon I saw him coming out of the bathroom. I know that I should pull away and not watch this, but damn it! As I was watching, I saw him in front of my window.

- If you want something, just say it.

- No, thanks. I'm good.

- But I'm not. Come here. Otherwise, I am coming.

- Fine. Let me lock my door first.

I did it and walked to Vince's room. By the time I did it, he was already on the bed, shirtless. He is a big teaser today. Maybe the problem is not in me but in him. I laid next to him, and he looked at me like he wanted something.

- Can I help you?

No answer. Instead, I received a kiss. Well, this is how it started. Very soon, this turned into something way more heated. I don't know if it is me, but lately, I feel so weak when he does this. It could be from the fact that I am a girl, but I think that there might be something else. Whatever this is, it's not helping me. This doesn't stop me from wanting more. Vince was on top of me, and I hooked my legs around him to make sure that he wouldn't pull away. It's not like he will do it. As I see, he likes this not less than me. Every time, this gets better and better. Like I am in a movie. It seems too good to be true, but it is. Soon he pulled away and looked at me. Sometimes his eyes can kill me, but now, they make me even weaker.

- Emma. Hello.

- What?

- The whole day you are weirdly looking at me. Did I do something?

- No. I just... I don't even know why I am doing it. I'm sorry.

- It's ok. I just thought that something had happened.

- Don't worry, everything is ok.

- In that case, do you want us to do something? I won't deny round two.

- Thanks, but it better be something else.

- Like what?

- Laying down while doing nothing.

- Ok, whatever you want.

I laid next to him, but I guess that it wasn't enough. Vince wrapped one of his hands around me and pulled me very close. I put my head on his chest and felt his heartbeat. I wish that it was for me. I don't know why, but this made me upset. Is it possible that I am falling for him? I don't know anything about him. Yes, we spend a lot of time together, but I have never asked him anything personal.

Soon I felt a kiss on the top of my head, and a tear rolled down. I want to have this, but it's impossible.

- Hey, why did you get upset?

- I'm just tired, that's it.

- You can lie to whoever you want, but not me.

- I'm just not in the mood today.

- It's kind of visible.

- Can we not talk about this?

- Sure.

Around dinnertime, I walked back into my room. I must have fallen asleep at some time because Vince had to wake me up. His parents invited me for dinner, but I had to deny it. Mom and dad don't know that I am not in my room, so this better happen another day. I would gladly stay here longer, but it's not safe. There is something which I don't understand. I have Vince right next to me, but I still feel bad. He is the type of person with who I want to be, but mom will never let me. Mostly, because he is not Ricky. How I hate this. Why can't I choose who to date? After all, he will be with me, not my parents. One day this will happen. Now, I have to understand what is happening to me and how to control it.
