The Bad Boy And I

Chapter Eight

Bella

After a few hours, Chris and I took a short break and he started telling me stupid things that he used to do with Adam and Seth when they were kids and right now I can't stop laughing and my stomach hurts from all the laughing

"Wait, so you're telling me that you took a picture of a naked old lady taking a bath?" I ask laughing "And, I really which I have never seen her naked, I mean at that moment I wished the land opened into two parts and swallowed me" he says and I laugh "Okay wait, I've got a better one" he says laughing

A real laugh-

-and just for a second there I couldn't help but admire it, I shake my head rolling my eyes, it's just a laugh, jeez, what is up with me today

"So when we were ten, one time I wanted to get revenge on Seth, so while he was taking a bath I entered inside took his shirt, boxers and shorts and him being stupid he ran downstairs behind me to get his cloths naked, with no towel or anything" he says and I laugh a little "But the best part is that we didn't know that we had guests so he ran towards the guest completely naked and when he noticed the guests he's face was priceless" Chris said and we couldn't stop laughing

I mean come on imagine a ten year old Seth naked in front some people, just thinking of it makes me laugh even more.

"Okay, I can't laugh any more my stomach hurts" I say trying to control my laughter "Okay, you're right" he says and trying to bite his laughter, himself "I'm hungry" I say and I find him standing up and going towards his drawer and let me tell you it's like a candy shop

"How many types of candy do you have?" I ask him with wide eyes "Choose, what chocolate and eat the magic" he says smiling, he chooses two huge double bar of Twix, I took one of them and started eating in it "What?" I ask when I find him looking at me.

"Nothing, I mean no girl I have ever seen ate a double huge chocolate bar" he answers "Well I am no Barbie and I want to grow up healthy and strong besides I bet all the girl you hang out with eat salads but, Well I hate it" I admitted

"Mmmmm" he says smiling, a real smile that I couldn't help but smile myself and that is when I noticed that he took a bit from my chocolate "You didn't" I hissed at him "But I did" he says, and I start running behind him, but I knew he would leave the room so I locked it and took the key "No escape, bad boy" I say and hear him laugh too.

I ran the opposite direction he did and trip him "Did you really just do that?" he asked smiling, and I thought he's going to be angry or something.

But he wasn't

"Let's see who will have the last laugh" he says.

Oh-Oh, he started running behind me, I jumped on the bed but before I could stand on my feet he jumped on me, sending me down, flat on my back and him on top of me laughing.

Our laugh died down but we stayed like this ...... staring at each other, our eye contact broke when he heard people banging on the door and trying to open it.

I pushed Christopher off me and opened the door with the key which was in my pocket. Adam, Seth, Lucy and Tiana were waiting outside looking impassion "What is wron......... what have you both been doing?" Lucy asked smirking.

I didn't know why she asked that until I looked at my reflection my hair was a little messy, my clothes were crumbled and Christopher looked well. The same.

I rolled my eyes and they came in the room "We have been banging on the door for half an hour" Adam said and sat on the desk's chair.

What?! Have they been banging for half an hour?

Well, that sounds bad but for real, we haven't even heard anything "Anyway did you finish the research?" Seth asked

When Seth talked I remembered the story Christopher told me about and I bet Christopher was thinking the same thing because we made eye contact and started laughing so hard, the rest of them looked and Christopher and I as if we went crazy or something.

"Sorry.... I ...... I'm... sorry" I say and bite my lips so I can stop laughing "Shoot we're late" Lucy said seriously "What time is it?" Tiana asked "Seven" she answers back

What?! We've been working for six hours or well laughing for six hours. "Oh god, we should go" I said and packed my things, running downstairs with the rest of them.

"Hey, we'll be meeting tomorrow after school, right?" Adam asked and we nodded our heads in agreement.

Just before I step outside of the house I turned to Christopher "Ha, ha" I say with a small laugh, he looked confused "I think I'm the one who had the last laugh" I say and after a second he gets it, he gives me a small smile "Bye" I say smiling and leave.

**********

"What's with you and Christopher? I mean you looked like you had fun" Tiana said smiling. "He wasn't that bad, we talked and laughed, It's like ............................." I didn't know how to describe it "Oooooooooh" Lucy said wiggling her eyebrow

"Oh and what about you and Seth?" I say and Tiana laughs "What are you laughing at Tiana, I mean look at you, what's with you and Adam?" I ask and Tiana stops laughing and sinks in her seat

"Whatever" the both say "Well I'm off to bed" I say and leave them.

**********

I took a bath wore a short, tank top and matching ankle socks. And tied my hair in a ponytail. I rested on the bed jumping on it.

God, I didn't practice boxing for two days. I was pretty tired, so I thought of practicing tomorrow.

I opened my window, sat at me windows frame and started writing on my songbook. I opened the last song that I wrote but didn't complete it

And started to think of lyrics:

You and me together

At the same page forever

Meeting, kissing so whatever

Whenever I meet you, I say

"Hey" someone said I looked up and found Christopher sitting on his window frame "Hey, why are you wet?" I asked when I noticed that his shirt was wet "Do you want to know?" he asks and I nod my head "Well I get wet when there is this girl on ........." I cut him off

"The hell..... I really am sorry for asking" I say and he laughs. I stood up to keep my book in the drawer, I heard some banging but I brushed it off, I turned around to see Christopher instead I see him standing in my room a few feet away from my

"How did you get in MY room?" I ask with wide eyes "Window" he answers simply, taking a step towards me and I take a step back, causing me to hit my back against the drawers.

Ouch!

"What? Why did you take a step back?" he asks smirking "What the hell do you want? You can't be here, my aunt won't like it" I say and he laughs "Oh come on, I'm not sleepy" he says "God, this is no use" I say and lock my bedroom door.

"So what were you doing?" he asks "Nothing" I answer" Oh come on" he says pushing me gently "Shut up" I say "I don't think that was in our deal, you're supposed to be nice remember?" he asks smirking "Fine, my my gentlemen, what is the answer you seek for?" I ask in a fake British accent and we both laugh

"Bella is anyone in your room?" my aunt yells from downstairs "No' I answered "Why is your door locked?" she asks and tries to open the door, Christopher and I jump out of the bed, and he ran behind the door and I unlocked the door "Yes?" I ask my aunt

"What's wrong?" she asks, but before I could answer I felt something ticklish, when I looked down I saw Christopher bending down and was tickling the back of my leg "No... Nothing" I answer trying to kick him with the other leg

"Bella are you hiding something from me?" she asks "No....not like that....I ...... I was writing a new song.... So I locked the door...... to ....... To......... concentrate" I answer her trying my best not to laugh. His finger starts moving up and down, the back of my leg "I...... I've..... to....go....ya.....yeah" I say and my aunt nods her head.

I shut the door and look at him "What the hell, Chris?" I asked "What?" he asks trying to act innocent "Did you just call me Chris?" he asks and I nod "Ya, that's my nickname to you" I answered and jumped on my bed "I like it when you call me Chris" he states smiling and I blush

"Ya, well get used to it since I will be calling you that all the time except when I'm mad, I'll call you Christopher" I say "Well that means you're not so mad at me since you called my Chris" he says smirking

"Look, can you just go" I whined "No" he said "What do you want?" I ask "I'm not sleeeeepy" he said dragging the word sleep

I jumped on the bed beside him "so you write songs?" he asks facing me "Ummmm.. ya... a little, not many people know about it" I answer back "So do you write songs for fun or.....for a reason?" he asks "I don't know, but it's not for fun" I answer back

"So you write songs to express yourself and feelings in it, right?" he says "Ya, I guess but how do you know?" I ask "I write...um.. Songs.. Sometimes" he answers nervously. "But no one knows about it" he continues

"Why not?" I ask "The same reason as yours" he answers back "and what's my reason?' I ask "Because, you throw all your feelings in the lyrics, like a diary that you don't want to let anyone read it" he answers

"Wow, I never thought you were.... I don't know.... Ugh forget it so what instruments do you play?" I ask him "I play the guitar, drums, piano, and trumpet and the ummm........ Flute" he says laughing

"I always wanted to play the flute" I tell him "What do you play?" he asks me "I play 22 instruments" I answer "Wow, and none of the 22 instruments include the flute?" he asks and I shake my head no

"Well then I'll teach you" he says smiling, not smirking "I'd love that" I say smiling back

We keep staring at each other with a smile on our faces.

"It's getting late" I said standing up "Oh ya, I should go" he says opening the window "It was nice having this conversation with you, good night Chris" I say "Ya, and I'll teach you how to play the flute, I won't forget, and good night" he says and leaves. I shut the window, switch off the light and throw myself on the bed.

And the only thing I would think about is why does he show himself as a bad boy to people when he isn't?
