The story is a little cringy at the start but it gets better when you are about chapter four.
Sophia Raven is a sassy, but nice girl who happens to have an older brother. She's also friends with his best friend, Ryder Gray. They have deeper feeling...

Ryder and I sit down in a booth while his uncle orders for us.
I play nervously with his rings when he puts his other hand on top of mine. "What is it, baby? Why are you fidgeting with my rings?"
"I-I don't know, okay? I mean we talked plenty of times, but this feels like it's going to be different."
Obviously uncle Ricky wants to talk about me dating his nephew and for some reason I'm freaking out.
Ry brings my hand up to his lips and kisses it. "There's no need to be nervous. If he says something that makes you uncomfortable, I'm going to punch him."
For final, he gives my hand a squeeze and looks ahead of us when Ricky sits down with our food.
"Dig in guys. We had a rough morning."
Ryder hands me from everything a little bit, then serves himself some too. For ten minutes it's quiet. We just eat and occasionally, we steal glances at each other. When everyone is done eating Ricky puts down his cutlery and locks his hands together.
"So.." Oh my. Here it comes.
"Ryder, if you hurt her I'll kill you myself."
Silence.
I was too stunned to speak and I think Ryder felt the same way. I look to my right and see Ry's jaw tensed. "I would never do such thing."
"Good, because if you do I might have to knock a few of your teeth out and I'm sure you wouldn't want that."
He casually takes a sip from his drink and sends me a smile and a wink.
I think I can finally relax now.

"I can't believe he would even think about that." Ryder grumbles under his nose. He flops down on his bed and pats the spot next to him.
"I need to change first. Can I take a shower?" I ask not looking at him. He grabs my wrist and pulls me into a kiss.
"You don't have to ask. You take whatever you just want, okay?" He asks and pecks my lips again.
"Okay."
"Good." With a final kiss he let's me go and I go into the bathroom and do my things.
After taking a shower, taking off my makeup and brushing my teeth I realize I don't have any clothes to wear.
"Ryder!" I shout.
A few seconds later there's a knock on the door.
He opens it and looks at me questioningly. "I don't have anything to wear."
He goes back to the room then back to the bathroom with a pile of clothes in his hand. I take it from him and quickly change. He got me a shirt of his and grey sweatpants.
