Broken

Chapter 7

Salvatore

"What was that about?" Maddie asked as soon as we got to her room.

"What was what?"

"That!!" She replied pointing at the door.

"I didn't touch the door, you opened it, how can you have such short memory?"

"Stop playing with me! You know what I mean"

"Obviously I don't"

"With Ciara"

I raised a brow "what's with her?"

"You were trying to flirt with her"

"Was I?"

"I'm not blind, hell yeah!!"

"So?" I replied trying to make sense out of what she was saying.

"I don't like it"

"What does my flirting have to do with you?"

"I'm your girlfriend Sal, you can't be flirting most especially when I'm there"

"Good. Now I'll just try to point sense from what you just said," I replied.

Her eyes widened at first then she frowned and walked over to her bed and sat. "I didn't know you'll come to my house to make a fool of me"

"Did I?"

"Why are you doing this to me Sal?"

"I'm just standing here in your room, I'm clearly doing nothing to you"

"Why did you come here?"

"Whaaaaat?" I replied as i placed my hands in my pocket, turned my head in a sacrastic manner and walked to the window then I looked back at her. "I thought I received a call from you not quite long ago or was it a mistake? I can go back, you know?"

"I wanted to talk to you"

"We're talking darling"

"About us"

"Us?" I replied trying to point at both of us with both of my index fingers moving alternatively. "Is there a us? Baby girl if that's why you called me over, I think I have work to do"

"What do you mean?"

"I just spoke a simple sentence dear. How can you not understand?"

She stood up and walked over to me, hugging me from behind and tightened her hand over my stomach. It felt like she was squeezing my lungs.

"Um.... Maddie.. I'll prefer a better position, I can't breath," I managed to say.

She pulled away immediately and I turned to look at her, I could see the hurt clearly on her face. "Listen Maddie," I said cupping her face in my hand "I'll like to know why you introduced me as your boyfriend to Shayna and Ciara"

"Aren't you?"

"What? We're over dear. Do I have to send you a text every morning to remind you so that you won't go about saying I'm your boyfriend?"

She pushed my hand from face and went back to her bed. "You think I'll accept that?"

"You won't? Okay I'll make it a phone call"

"Okay, phone call, deal," she replied and grinned. I know she's up to no good.

"It's not like I'll speak," I said trying to trash her hopes of getting me to be her boyfriend.

"Lets see," she replied with a smirk.

Crazy.

"First of all, did I say we're over? We were never a thing," I said and to my relieve, her smirk changed to a frown.

"Sal, I like you a lot, why are you doing this to me?" She said, covering her face with her hands and made sounds like she was crying.

What the hell? Did she just say like? She has dated almost all the guys in our class and she wants me to be her next prey.

"Baby girl, I've done nothing wrong, we didn't date"

"But we made love Sal," she replied as she removed her hand from her face and wiped her crocodile tears with the back of her hands and looked at me.

"s*x," I corrected as I walked up to her and sat beside her. She sat up and held my hands trying to make me feel sympathy for her, the usual way she brings me to her and makes me have s*x with her. I'm such a moron, I should be the one taking her to bed not the other way round. I've decided to show her that she can't emotionally blackmail me any longer "For a popular girl, you're too slow to understanding things"

"Why are you breaking up with me?" She asked ignoring my statement.

"We were never a thing baby"

"Sal"

Before I got a chance to reply, she flung herself on me and started kissing me madly. At first I didn't respond but later, I gave in, slowly, I moved my hands to her waist, pulling her close to me and turned her so she could be on top of me. She moved her hands from my neck to my head and continued the movement as she deepened the kiss.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

I pushed her away immediately and stood up. Trying to catch my breath.

"Who on earth is that?" She said also trying to recover from the kiss.

"Hmm.. Maddie, Shanya said I should ask you and your.. um boyfriend, what flavour of ice cream would you like"

Her voice brought me back to my right senses, Ciara!!!

Dammit. How could I be so weak.

"She's not my girlfriend," I said trying to defend myself but I was ignored.

"Did I ask for ice cream? I think I'm good with my boyfriend here," Maddie answered and stood up to hug me but I moved towards the door.

"We are going to the ice cream parlour," Ciara replied, I opened the door slightly allowing only my head to be seen.

"Can I drive you there?" I asked trying to give her signs to say yes.

She gave a weak smile "no, thanks".

"Of course yes!" Shanya called from behind as she walked up, "that would be so kind of you Salvatore Castillo, and I'm sure my best friend here would appreciate it," she continued placing her hands over Ciara's shoulder, pulling her close.

Thank heavens.

I smiled, Shanya is not the type to miss opportunities. "Sure," I said opening the door wide and was about to go but Maddie stopped me.

"Where do you think you're going?" she said holding my hand trying to pull me back.

"You should stay with your girlfriend. We'll do just fine, thanks for the offer," Ciara said turning to leave but Shanya pulled her back.

"Maddie can come with, won't you?" Shanya said with a smile.

"What if I don't want to?" Maddie replied.

"It's up to you anyway, he's driving us"

"We can just walk Shay," Ciara replied trying walk away again but Shayna held her back.

"What's wrong with you? He just offered us a ride for the first time and you wanna turn him down? Come on, be a lady for once," She said batting her lashes at Ciara while Ciara rolled her eyes.

"Fine, I'll be downstairs," Ciara replied to my relieve and walked away.

"That's my girl," Shanya said beaming then she turned to look at me "I'll be downstairs, Maddie can come too, it would be fun," she finished and followed her friend or maybe best friend.

"So, you wanna go? After the kiss? Let's just finish what we started," she said trying to pull me back.

"Are you coming?" I said her ignoring whatever she has been saying.

"Yeah! Why not"

"Okay, meet us downstairs," I said, touching my pockets for my keys and opened the door as soon as I felt them in my pocket.

I took the stairs down and the first thing I saw made me gasp, this is the cutest thing I've seen in my entire 18 years on earth. Ciara bemoaned about something that I didn't hear clearly and Shanya replied with a straight face which made Ciara pull her hood over her head until it covered her her forehead, she bit her down lips and rested her chin in her palm, resting her elbow on her laps. Shanya said something again and Ciara pouted, she opened her mouth to say something stopped Immediately she saw me watching, I didn't miss the redness of her cheeks. I walked up to the door and pretended like I saw nothing.

"Are you ladies ready?" I asked

It felt awkward, fighting with my mom and running to the house my f**k buddy only to find a girl who babysits my sister there and I'm willing to drive them all to a ice cream parlour. This is way more distraction than I intended, but I think this distraction is just perfect. I should try to get her number today, hopefully.

"Yeah!" Shanya answered and they both stood up, in a minute we we're all seated In my truck. "Nice truck," Shanya complimented as they both sat at the back seat while I sat on the drivers seat.

"Thanks"

"Maddie isn't coming?" Ciara asked.

Must she always include Maddie?

"Maybe," I replied and started my truck. I knew Maddie won't be coming so I decided against waiting for her.

"You aren't waiting for her?" Ciara asked again.

"It doesn't matter," I replied.

The rest of the drive was quiet, I expected Ciara to ask again about Maddie or say something about girlfriend but she didn't.

We got to the Ice cream parlour in five minutes. Ciara and Shanya went for cookies and cream while I chose Vanilla flavour. After arguing for about five minutes on who to pay, we all ended up paying for ourselves.

Ciara wanted us to go back Immediately but Shanya insisted we took our ice cream there.

"I'll be right back, I need to use the bathroom," Shayna said, stood up and walked away.
