The Badboy's Mistress

•4• I'm not that bad of a guy

Chapter 4

Laurie left early to pick up her little brother Max from school. I decided to stay back and just enjoy the sun for a while and listen to my new playlist.

I was just packing my lunch into my bag and walking down the pathway when I heard a loud thump. I don't know what it was but it sounded like someone dropped something large.

Following the sound, I walked into the woodland area of the park.
I know what you're thinking. What are you doing? There could be a wolf or a kidnapper or even a serial killer.
Get back!

But I had to do this. This was the way Laurie walked home and she had just left literally ten minutes ago. I hope she hasn't fallen or anything.

Gulping slowly, I walked down the hill and saw a man sitting on a ledge of a tree that must have been chopped off a long time ago.

I could only see his back. He was wearing black jeans and a white tee shirt. His jacket was thrown on the floor mercilessly followed by a cracked glass bottle obviously out of either anger or sadness because he had his head in his hands.

I walked a little closer "Excuse me, I just heard something loud and was wondering if you're okay?"

The body turned around once again giving me the shock of my life. What was he doing here and why?

"Joseph"
I saw how red his eyes were and his jaw was clenched so tightly I was scared his teeth would break.

"You should go Ophelia I don't want to argue with you unnecessarily" he huffed and turned back around tapping on his phone.

I don't know why I did this, but I did.
I walked closer to him and took a seat next to him. Not too closely but it was on the same tree ledge.

"Are you okay?" I asked

"I told you to fucking go" he gritted.

Why was he getting all annoyed at me for? What had I done? Jesus!

"I was only trying to help but once again here you go back to being a jerk" I stood up, sighing.  I didn't care.

He cleared his throat, "I didn't know you had a boyfriend"

Where did this come from? He doesn't answer my questions but instead questions me.

I don't have a boyfriend but why should I tell him everything about me. If he's that good at finding shit out I'm sure he could do that too.

I turned back around, "Why is this any of your business?"

"Fucking answer me!" He yelled finally looking up at me. Kind of wish he didn't now though.

I moved back shuffling quickly on my feet, "Who do you think you are to shout at me?"

"Who is this prick? The one you've been spending time fucking. I always thought you'd be a hard lay but guess that's not true", he laughed grabbing his jacket from the floor.

No one had ever talked to me like this before and who did he think he was to say this to me! I will not let him treat me like that.

"You only care about yourself you don't care about how your words hurt others. You're making me sound like a whore but let's be honest who the real whore is. You. An unfaithful guy to his girlfriend" I finished, folding my arms.

Joseph walked up to me, "you really need to get your facts straight about me. I'm not that bad of a guy"

I scoffed, "yeah you're definitely not acting like a bad guy. You went ballistic on me because of what happened in History so for your information no I do not have a boyfriend. Also you act like you're some saint but really you're just as bad as every player out there. If not worse. So how about you stop acting like a-"

I was cut off abruptly by a warm feeling on my lips. Joseph pulled me closer by the waist and enveloped his lips around mine aggressively. I didn't stop him from kissing me and what actually surprised me is that instead of hitting him I was kissing him back.

My eyes closed and my hands went to his hair tangling my fingers through his hair. It was a nice sensation. Nice is an understatement.

It was mind blowing. His lips felt so soft yet rough at the same time every time they brushed against mine. I felt his tongue skim across my lip and that was it. It rang the alarm bells which were a little too late.

Better late than never to be honest.

I pulled away and moved back out of Joseph's hold. We stared at each other for a minute and I'm pretty sure I had already turned very red. Joseph looked down and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. It was either that or he was feeling guilty. I'll go with the first.

What had I just done though? 

I let him get to me. I let him kiss me. I have never let any random guy do that to me. How could I have been so stupid? No. This is his fault. He has a girlfriend and he just kissed me. Like it was nothing.

I was right about him all along.

"Point proven" I whispered and walked away from him not wanting to involve myself further. He didn't try to stop me, I don't know whether that was good or not.

A part of me wanted him to. The immature part of me. The one who let Joseph kiss her.

English homework was doing my head in. I couldn't concentrate. I had two poems to write and an essay to write by tomorrow.

It turns out my mind was stuck in another time frame. I couldn't get that blooming kiss out of my mind. Obviously the only reason that is, is because he's a good kisser. Nothing else.

Deciding to finish this chore off later. I flung open the wardrobe and flicked through my clothing, in hope of finding one dress to wear at the party this weekend.

I was hoping to go in jeans but Laurie would pretty much murder me and feed my guts to her dog.

Deciding on a black sleeveless crop top that came just under my bust and a black skirt that ended a little before my knees. This was the best I could do. I liked the choice it was playful but not too much either. I wasn't like showing my bum off.

But it did help to show off my legs a bit which are pretty average. Actually I am pretty average.

Brown hair that is easily tamed. 
Green eyes.
Good height. I'd say 5'5.
I have longer legs and a shorter top half of my body if that makes sense.

I took out the dress and hung it up on the hanger for the weekend and prepared for the last torturous day of college for the week ofcourse.

I was looking forward to the party in all honesty, it would give me a chance to forget about Joseph and how quick a move he pulls.
