In love with a bad neighbor

Chapter twelve - Talk with the jerk

Vince's POV:

Finally, I started school. It's not like I wanted to do it. To be honest, I didn't even want to be in this town, but now I'm ok. Emma is keeping me busy. I still haven't heard from my friends. I guess that they don't miss me. If this is the case, I won't call them. As I see, things between us changed very quickly. Before we were always together and now, we don't even talk to each other. I am not mad at them, but if I have to be honest, I don't know what to tell them. If I start talking about Emma, they will think that I like her or that we are dating. Nothing of this is true. I like her, but not this way. She is my friend. It's true that we do many things together, but this doesn't mean that I like her. I don't see myself with a girlfriend. The thing is that I am too good at cheating. If I get tired of one girl, I will go to the next. As much as I like it when I am making out with Emma, I won't give her high hopes. I hope that she knows this. I don't want her to think something that is not true. She is one very nice girl and deserves someone who won't play with her. No matter that, I probably won't like it. For some reason, I don't like it when there is someone else around her, but I have to let her go. She is not mine, and I have no right to keep her only for myself.

I woke up and checked my phone. It was too early for school. Well, I can lay for a couple of minutes in my bed. I have to say that this school is not that bad. Yes, I still don't have any other friends than Emma, but I'm ok. There is enough time for that. Maybe I can find someone like my old friends. Probably it's better if I don't do it. I don't want Emma to feel isolated. It's not like I won't invite her to go out with me, but she is not this type of person.

Soon I heard a knock. It was not coming from my door. There was a second one. I walked up to the window and opened my curtains. Now I know from where it was. Emma was trying to come in. I close my window because I don't want to get cold while I am sleeping. I smiled at her and opened the window. She walked in still in her PJs. As I see, she woke up early as well. I was about to say something, but she grabbed my hand and made me go to bed with her. To be honest, I won't deny a morning treat. Well, it didn't happen. All she wanted was to snuggle.

- Why do you look disappointed?

- Because I expected something else.

- I'm sorry. I just needed a hug.

- It's ok. I'm kind of surprised to see you so early.

- I woke up half an hour ago and decided to see you. I was hoping that your window was open so that even if you were sleeping, I could still come in.

- That's nice.

- But I failed.

- No, you didn't. After all, you are here.

- Well... yeah.

We laid in bed for a while. If you ask me, I don't want to let her go, but sadly, we have to go to school. There I have no access to her. She has forbidden me to get close to her. Not in the way we do it at home. I looked at her and saw that she was sleeping. When did she fall asleep? It's not like I mind, but soon I have to wake her up.

After an hour, both of us walked to school. Of course, we did it the same way as the first time. We walked separately until the end of the street. Later, I walked up to her. The whole time she was talking about school and what I should expect. I am only a week into it, but I understood some things. There are many clubs and try-outs for teams. It's not like I will do any of these things. I'm not the school spirit type. Emma told me about cheerleaders, so I won't mind checking them out. Since Bella is the captain, the team must be good. If I do that, it better be when Emma is not with me. I don't want her to feel bad again.

Soon we arrived at school. Both of us walked to our lockers without talking. I know that she is scared, but I wish that she could spend more time with me. I am tired of hiding. Moreover, soon or not, someone will find out. Maybe it won't be her parents. As long as it's not Ricky, I am ok. This jerk would do anything to play with her.

- Hey, are you ok?

- Yes, I'm fine. Let's go now. I don't want you to be late.

Both of us walked to class. Everything was looking normal. It was like that until the end of classes. The only thing that ruined it was one jerk. What is he doing here? Now I can't go home with Emma. Great. I hope that she will get rid of him. To be honest, we have never talked, but that is better. I can't deal with someone like him. I stayed close to the entrance only to see what Emma would do.

- Ricky, why are you here?

- I came to take you.

- Um, no thanks. I can walk by myself.

- No one is asking you. Let's go home.

- I am not going anywhere with you!

I think that the whole school heard that. For now, I won't do anything. If things go in the wrong direction, I might show up. After all, I don't want to get her in trouble.

- Your mom told me to come and get you.

- No she didn't. You can't lie to me.

- We are going home. - the jerk said and grabbed her hand

That's it. I won't hide while he is forcing her to do something which she doesn't want. I walked up to Ricky and gave him a dirty look. He looked at me but didn't say anything. I won't fight him just because I don't want to waste my time.

- What are you looking at?

- Your clothes. I don't understand fashion, but you look like you were born fifty years ago. - I said, and Emma laughed

- It's not like you look better.

- Maybe, but at least I am wearing modern clothes.

- And cheap ones.

- I'm sorry, but money can't buy everything. In your case, a girlfriend.

- Like you have one.

- For a week, I had more girls than days in a month. You can't even make one girl come with you.

- Won't you leave?

- I will, but only if you let her go. She is not for you. Trust me. You need a girl who can't talk so she won't complain. What's your name, princess?

- I... I'm... Emma. You?

- I'm Vince. Let me do you a favor. Now you are free. - I said and removed his hand from hers

- Thank you.

- No problem. I'll go now. See you around. - I said and walked away

I texted her that I would wait for her in my room once she got home. Well, if Ricky is not with her. I don't want this jerk to be around her. He had already ruined my walk with her. I easily could've done something, but I didn't want to mess with him. Moreover, we were in school. Since he is rich, I am sure that he won't get in trouble even if he is guilty. With the thought of him and Emma, I walked under the shower. I sent Emma another message, telling her that I would leave the window open if she decided to come.

I walked out of the shower and saw Emma on my bed. It would've been better if I wasn't standing with only a towel in front of her. I noticed how she looked at me. It's normal for girls to check out boys. I gave her a smirk, coming with a wink. Once I get dressed, she can have all of that. I have no problem doing it in front of her, but it's better if I don't do it. One day this might happen as well, but for now, this way is better. I walked out of the bathroom and laid next to her.

- How did you escape from the jerk?

- It's not that hard. We walked to one diner and I told him that I had to use the bathroom. While he was not looking, I asked if there was another door through which I could go outside.

- That's my girl. What do you want us to do now?

- Whatever it is, except going out. - she said, chuckling

- In that case...

I didn't finish and just kissed her. I didn't have any chance today, so now I can finally have her for myself. The good thing is that Emma is not complaining about these things. Well, if I go too far, I know that she will stop me. I won't lie that I would love to have this every day, but let's not rush things. I decided to test her and pulled out my shirt. In return, I received the same look as a couple of minutes ago. There are many things that she hasn't tried and I will happily do them with her, but only if she lets me.

- I don't bite. You can trust me.

- I know. It's just that... I have never done this.

- You know that I won't do anything that will hurt you.

- I do.

With that, she came closer and kissed me. I will never get tired of her. This feeling is the best that I have ever had. I might have tried on many girls, but none of them was like her. I don't know with what she is different, but she is. This is why I don't want to see her with someone else. This feeling only I should have.

- Are you ok?

- Yes, it's just I'm not in the mood for that. Can't we just lay down?

- Yeah, sure.

- I'm sorry.

- You don't have to. After all, I understand why you feel like that. This jerk took all your energy.

- He really did. - she said, chuckling

- Promise me that you will never date him.

- What? Why would I do that? I am not crazy.

- Just promise me.

- Ok, I promise that I will never date the jerk.

- Thank you.

- Can I know what that was?

- In case you lose your mind in the future.

- Yeah, that will never happen.

- You never know.

- I want you to take a nap with me.

- Ok, no problem.

Emma snuggled into me, and I started playing with her hair. I feel like she will fall asleep soon. Meanwhile, I received a cheek kiss, which made me look at her.

- That was because...

- You were exactly what I needed today. A good friend.

- I'm trying my best.

- And you are doing it perfectly.

- I'm glad to hear that. Take a rest now. We can talk later.

Very soon, Emma fell asleep. I will lie if I say that I don't want her to be here. If I could have this every single day, I would be the happiest boy in the world. I don't know what she did to me, but this girl is amazing. Her smile can bring your good mood back in seconds. I might have known her only for a month, but this is enough for me to say that she is different. Emma is a normal girl, but she has the power to make you do what she wants. Well, not really, but I got attracted by her. She or to say her style is simple, but she still looks hot in everything. There is a small chance that I am falling for her. I hope that it's not true because I don't think that we can hide a whole relationship. One day, everything will be in its place.
