The Domineering Playboy

CHAPTER 5

I was too busy trying to cover up my face in shame I didn’t realize who just entered, wait!

It was Klaus and Ella, why were they also in the middle of nowhere. That is when it knocked into me.

“eem..Ryder where am I? Why are they here?”

“Turns out you were actually having s*x with Ryder” Ella said laughing her heart out.

“Ryder answer me” I said trying to hold my tears

To my dismay he didn’t say anything and had his eyes fixed to the ground.

“this is Ryder Wesley’s famous bang house” Klaus said with an amused faced probably wondering how I never heard of it.

What? Bang house? I’m just one of his sluts and nothing more What was I even thinking

I looked up at Ryder to see if there was any chance of him denying it but the floor just seemed to be very interesting because he kept staring at it. I walked towards him and slapped him hard across his face.

I ran out of the so called “bang house” making sure to shove Ella as I exited the door. I felt like slapping the smirk off her face but I was too sad to do that.

You could bet I didn’t know where I was going but I kept running and crying. After awhile of walking under the rain, I was getting worried cause there was no cabs or cars passing by cause like I said I was in the middle of nowhere.

I had to walk for another 20mins before I got to a road where I could now see cars. I hailed a cab, got in and started crying when I remembered what happened a few minutes ago, I could see driver stopping himself from asking me questions but I didn’t care

********************************************************

I finally got home, I stood in front of my front porch that was decorated with some flowers here and there. I walked up to the door and stood in front of it, I took a deep breath to try and calm myself down, I didn’t want anyone seeing me like this, but to no avail.

I just couldn’t stop crying, it hurt so much. I decided to run straight up to my room. Mom and mason were having dinner, mom saw me and called out to me but I ignored her. I ran to my room and slammed the door shut behind me. Slowly I walked to my bed and just sat there staring at the wall facing me.

My prayer now is Ella shouldn’t tell anyone at school what she witnessed, but who am I kidding, of course she will. Anything for some gossip am sure my news is all over the school news already. Not to think of Jace, he might never talk to me again if he finds out.

*sniff*

I looked towards the door and there Mason was, in tears. I got up and walked to him. I crouched down so I was at the same level as he.

“Mason, why are you crying’, I said wiping the trail of tears on his face.

‘cause…cause…you’re crying”, he said trying not to cry hold his tears.

Mason was always like this, I cry, he cries. It’s kinda sweet though.

“Why” he asked

How am I meant to tell him what happened. I just can’t

“It’s nothing, just some bullies in school” I said after a while

“Then you don’t need to cry, I promise when I grow up, I I’ll fight them all for you” He said flexing his tiny muscles. I chuckled.

“I know you will” I whispered as I pulled him into a hug.

“Eeek!!! You’re wet”

Oops. I forgot I was still soaking wet.

Mason left to get ready for bed or watching something , I’m not sure, and I was back to my Ryder problems. I didn’t want anything to do with him, in fact I’m hoing to change my password and wallpaper from his name to something else.

He isn’t worth it, he is the biggest JERK on Earth.

Just when I grabbed my phone to listen to some depressing music I heard my call out for me

“Emily”

“Young lady get down here this instant’

Great, what have I done now? I went downstairs after making sure I wasn’t looking like a freak.

Mom was standing in the kitchen with her arm crossed over her chest.

“Where have you been”

"Umm.. school, why”

She shook he head like she was disappointed.

Wait. Does she know.

“let me rephrase that, why did you ditch school”

I guess she got a call from my principal. I didn’t know what to say so I just stood there staring at the floor.

‘Emily Brooke West”. Full name? she really mad then.

“I asked you a question or are you now dumb” she asked almost screaming

“I…I…”I tried to answer but what am I supposed to say.

Not to mention am a terrible liar.

“I…I…what Emily”

“I…I’m sorry mom, I just wasn’t feeling well and decided to get some fresh air”

“For the entire school day?”

Like I said not the best liar.

I was still staring at the floor, I couldn’t look up to meet her eyes cause I know I’ll break down. I hate making her mad, she’s already going through a lot with the whole single mom thing and I didn’t want to add.

She walked and sat in one of the high stools beside the kitchen counter.

‘Emily…I don’t know what is going on with you right now but I hope you get over it soon, so it doesn’t affect your grades , you know how much getting into college means to me , to us”. She said almost quietly but loud enough for me to hear”

You see, I’m not one of those nerdy girls from romantic novels, I was not bad, but I not too good either. Unlike some genuine I had to study real hard to get good grades. And for college, I want to study nursing and we don’t exactly have the money for that, so my only hope is a scholarship.

‘I know mom, and I’m really sorry, I promise it will never happen again”

I hope not” she said and got up to leave.

She was about to leave when she said “But know if you ever need to talk , I’m always here for you”
