Cinderella my Ass

EAT ME!!!

Have you ever seen a twenty year old man in sugar high?

No?

You have lost a hell of a show.

“I want to go to Narniaaaaaa!!!!” Jake whinnied loudly like a little kid and two seconds later was on his feet running around the living room. He was still on those God damn pink boxers which he refused to cover up, by wearing jeans or whatever.

The next thing I know, was that the supposed to be the mature one here, was on the counter moving his hips like he was in rush to use the bathroom, while started to sing. “I’M SEXY, AND I KNOW IT!” He was hot... But right now? He looked like the sibling I never had. Funny and stupid.

“Jake! Get down right now!” Aiden hissed annoyed. I was supposed to help, but who was I fooling? I was too busy holding my stomach from the pain. That hard I laughed. Still was laughing. “Get down or I will tell father about last Friday.”

“Don’t you dare, threat me young lady!” Jake pointed his finger to Aiden who turned red. I burst into laughter again. “The freaking woman wasn’t leaving me alone. So what, I gave her the devil’s number? She asked it.” He turned his back to Aiden and like the twenty year old guy he was, he wiggled his ass. I had to cover my eyes at that.

I had got it. Jake didn’t like that much his father. He had been calling him Devil the whole time. And Aiden seemed to feel the same too. That made me sad. He was nice and fun and polite... He deserved a better father that the cold hearted one he has. But who am I to say these things?

“I will marry Ryder!” Jake exclaimed in a high pitch voice and took me by surprise as one second I was in the floor pissing myself from laughing and the other one I was in his arms bridal style. I squealed in surprise and started to laugh again.

“What the f**k is wrong with you?” Aiden shouted which made me laugh more.

“I’m hot. And delicious. EAT ME!!!” Jake answered, looking at me, waiting for me to bite him. Was he freaking serious?

I placed my hand on his sift skin of his cheek and kissed the other cheek softly. “Mmmm.” I fake moaned. “Yummy.” After that I laughed again.

“Told ya’.” Jake said to a shocked Aiden. For some reasons his mouth was hung open and he was looking at us in disbelief. Even Jake laughed at his expression, but then he walked us into his room and closed the door with his foot. I was still in his hands and I wasn’t getting what was happening.

His room was big and clean. It kind of put mine in shame. I should clean it some day. Jake let me down and locked the door. And just like that, he threw himself in the bed. I chuckled at his actions. He was adorable and cute. “You shouldn’t have eaten all of those candies.” I said not knowing what to do with myself. Would it be wrong if I sit in his bed next to him? Or should I sit in a chair? Or maybe the floor... But maybe I should stay in my feet.

“Tell me a fairy tale.” His voice was weak. It sounded tired and like he was almost asleep. I smiled at that. That’s what you get when you run a marathon around the living room. “The Devil aka my father, refused to read me and Aiden anything before we went for sleep. Our mother used to read those to us... But now she is...”

“Once upon a time...” I didn’t want him to talk anymore. His voice was in so much pain... I just couldn’t hear it.

Jake fall asleep in five minutes. After I made sure he wasn’t going to wake up, I left his room slowly, trying to don’t make any sound. I walked down to the living room to find Aiden sitting in front of the turned off TV, glaring at it. That made me frown. What was wrong?

“He fell asleep.” I said with a low voice and sat next to him.

He didn’t response. That wasn’t normal. Why was he acting so cold today? Firstly he gets in a fight, gets detention and stuff like that... and now? He is being like a huge cube of ice.

“I like your brother.” I smiled, trying to start a conversation. He snapped his head to me, and for a second his look scared me. Aiden was angry. Again. Why? Did I make him angry?

“You should go.” He said to me and the looked away again.

“Did I say something wrong?” My voice trembled as I was feeling tears coming up.

“Just go Ryder!” His voice raised a little. That took me off guard. I stared at him with wide eyes. But before he could shout at me again, grabbing my bag, I ran out of his house, tears dangerously rising up in the corner of my eyes.

What did I do wrong?

***

I wasn’t in mood for anything. My mind kept repeating the time I spent in Aiden’s house and trying to find the mistake I did. What went wrong to make Aiden angry? To shout at me?

Why did he even shout at me? I was being such a sweetheart. For the love of God! I could have been rude with his super weird brother, or his super rude father... I could b***h about it the whole time... But I didn’t. I ignored the look his father gave me. And I literally put his big brother to sleep. And I liked his brother. He was a nice guy. Why did he have to snap at me like that?

Tears rushed down my cheeks, as I felt sad, but angry at myself. Angry because I was so pathetic. I ruined everything and I have no idea how I even did that. That’s how cool at ruining everything I was.

I lied down in my bed, and felt so weak and so bad. As well could bury myself in a hole and die there. Everything was going so good.... Too good to be true. Maybe this was the reason it went down the hill. Because it was too good.

There was a light knock in the window, but I chose to ignore it. There was no way I was going to let Midnight see me like this. But the knock didn’t stop and it was getting stronger more and more. He wanted to get in. I knew that. But how was I going to hide the shaking voice from him?

“Ry open up please!” His voice was low and sounded even lower because he was behind the window. I shut my eyes tight. Please go away! “Please!”

I walked to the window and pressed my forehead against the cold glass. “Midnight, not tonight please.” My voice came as a whisper.

“Please!” His low voice with that tone, broke my heart. So I gave up. I opened the window and let him in. Midnight jumped in the room, with a light thump and hugged me hard. “Please don’t you ever let me out. I don’t want to be out of your life Ry. You matter to me so much. I want to be there to comfort you. To whip your tears away.” I got lost in his deep voice as I buried my face in his chest. His voice... was some of the things I liked the most about him. It was deep and calming... caring. soft... like chocolate...

He sat on the floor with me still in his warm grip of his arms, and leaned against the wall. Gently he pulled me into his lap and hugged me tighter. “What happened Ry?” His hand rubbed the back of my back in a calming manner.

“It’s just... stupid.” How could I make him worry about my stupid problems when he had his own? Probably more important than even me.

“You can tell me.” His lips touched the top of my head lightly.

“It’s just this guy... And he got mad at me and shouted at me. But I don’t know what I did wrong and... I feel bad. I’m so stupid.” Why was I even crying? Maybe it was because it was Aiden who shouted at me. Because I wanted him to like me but... I don’t know. I just don’t know.

“Maybe he wasn’t angry at you, but at someone else. No matter what Ry, everything will be fine. Don’t worry. I promise you that.” His finger touched my tears and brushed them off. “I like you better smiling. It makes me smile too.”

How could I make him smile, when all I did was to be such a stupid pathetic girl, who cries over stupid things? I was embarrassed enough for crying in front of him. And why? Because of a boy. Kill me please.

“Are you okay?” I muttered, my face still buried in his chest. It felt safe. And it smelled good. Like orange and coffee. It made my mouth go watery. But it made me smile. Blushing, but smiling. Like a creep.

“You don’t have to worry about me. I can manage everything... if you show me your beautiful smile, just a little. Come on Ry.” His whispers fell dangerously on my neck. Holy cow! “Smile for me.” I looked up unwillingly. I looked weak. How could I be there for Midnight if I showed him weakness?

I pulled back and smiled shyly to him. It was such a small smile, but that made his own to grow wider.

“Don’t stop smiling Ry. Without your smile, the world looks dull.”

“Ryder wait up!” Aiden grabbed my arm and spinned me around to face with him.

He had been trying to talk to me the whole day. But I didn’t want to talk with him. I was a angry with him for shouting at me like that, but why I was avoiding him, was because I couldn’t stay mad at him if I saw him. And I was right.

How could I be mad at him when his eyes looked so sad and pleading me to just listen to him. “What?” I said coldly, regretting it immediately, but it was too late.

“I’m sorry for shouting at you and kicking you out of my house. It’s just because...”

“Because what? Why did you acted with me like that Aiden? May I know the answer?” I removed the cold tone from my voice. The truth was all I wanted, I wanted him to apologize to me. And the things to be the way they were. But why was I pushing him to talk more?

“Because I... Jake...” He was muttering and it was so cute I had to bite a smile to form in my lips. I had to be serious. But he was so cute.

“What???” My voice raised, making some of the students to stop walking to their cars and stare at me in curiosity.

“Because I was jealous, okay?”
