Bad Reputation

Episode 8

Damon’s POV. 

After climbing back out Malia’s window, I then climbed back up own house to get in my room, hopefully without my mom noticing I have been out all night. 

As I got in my room, I heard my mom calling me from downstairs. I quickly opened my door “yeah??” I called back, “could you please get out of bed, and help me by going to the store?” She yelled up the stairs. 

“Sure mom, just let me take a quick shower and I will come down” I answered closing the door, going to my bathroom to take a shower. Luckily it doesn’t seem like she has any idea about me not coming home, I can’t really afford to get in to more trouble. 

I got downstairs freshly showered, and was met with the cutest face in the history of time my baby sisters, Rose. I simply adore her. There’s quite a lot of years between us, she’s only two, and she might only be my half sister but I wholeheartedly love her. I just want to protect her from the world.

“Damon!! You sleep long” she said excitedly as she saw me, and I chuckled at her way of talking and said “hey sprout, did you miss me?” “Nah...” she said sticking her tongue out at me and laughed, I did the same at her, I picked her up, and went through to the kitchen to meet my mom, she was making a shopping list.

“Morning mom.” I said as we entered. “I think you mean noon.” She answered “you really are a teenager.” She added rolling her eyes in an ironic gesture. “I need you to go to the market for me, so that I don’t have to bring Rose.” My mom said, “sure thing mom. No problem” I answered, walking over kissing her cheek. 

I might be considered some sort of bad boy out in the world, but I don’t fit the stereotype. Yes I drink, I party, I sometimes fight, I skip school and I don’t overall care about people and their emotions. But my mom is my rock! We’ve been through a lot my mom and me, with my sadly excuse of a sperm donor, yeah he hasn’t exactly earned the right to be called a father. I would do anything for my mom and Rose too of course. 

I went outside to get in my moms car to go do the shopping, just as Malia came out of her door, she didn’t see me. I was just about to say something to get her attention, but when I got a look at her I was totally stopped in my tracks... usually she was wearing jeans and a oversized hoodie, but now she was in some sort of training clothes, which was tight to her body, I could see every curve! And let me tell ya there isn’t anything wrong with those curves, her body is smoking! She has no makeup on and her dark long curly hair is in a ponytail, she is absolutely beautiful.. She has earphones in her ears. She was standing on her porch stretching. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her, I feel kind of creepy just standing here, watching her, but it’s like I don’t have a choice. After 5 minutes of stretching she went on her way jogging. I really don’t thing she even saw me, it was like she was in her own little world, well actually it seems like she’s always in her own world. 

What is happening to me?? I don’t get this way with girls??

Malia’s POV. 

After running to the gym which is 4,3 miles from my house, i had my self defense class. I then got showered and walked to work at the garage.. 

I’ve been here for two hours, when my dad calls me over to him, he is standing with a woman, she looks somewhat familiar?? 

“Malia, this is mrs Sawyer, her car has been making some weird noises for a while now, will you please take care of this?” My dad asked. “Sure, no problem.” and answered “Hi mrs Sawyer, will you please tell me more about the noises?” I added, “of course, and please call me Tina, mrs sawyer is my mother in law.” She said giggling at the last part. I smiled and she started telling me about the problems...

“Ok, that sounds simple enough to figure out. It should take me a couple of hours to fix it. Do you want to stick around and wait, I can make you a coffee?” I said “no thanks sweetheart, I will have my son pick it up later” mrs Sawyer answered. “Ok mrs Saw.. sorry.. Tina, I will give you a call then when the car is ready. I said smiling and she nodded, thanking me before handing over the car keys and being on her way.

I was currently on my back on a rollerboard underneath a car I was finishing up fixing.

There was I knock on the hood of the car I was working on. 

“Hey, the guy in the front told me that I should talk to you about my mom Tina Sawyer’s car.” I heard a voice say out loud. “Yeah, hi. Just give me a second here.” I said back. “Sure.” I heard the voice say. “I replaced a steel plate, that was rusted and loose underneath the car, so the noise is gone.” I said at the same time as I rolled out from under the car. “Well hello there feisty.” My eye darted in the direction of the voice, I was met with a set of very green eyes and a smirk, Damon!

He walked over and reached out his hand to help me up..
