Bad Boy Next Door

Chapter 21: Maxi

I was awakened by knocking on the window. I had one eye open to peak at the time, it was 7:12. I groan as I walked lazily towards the window, where Chace was waiting, after opening I walked back to my bed and sink back again.

"Let's go somewhere" I covered my head with a pillow ignoring him "Let's do something" he said again.

"Shut up Chace!" I groan in annoyance

"Get up!" He pulled my feet to wake me up

"Get Lost!" I kicked him off, Tsk was the last time I heard him say before leaving my room, but not long after I heard the door opened again.

"Maxi, do you want mommy to come with me outside?" I turned to look at him, he was holding Maximus

"Don't call him that!"

"It's his new nickname" he said "It's cute right Maxi?" He talks to the cat-like a baby "Can you convince mommy to come with me" he layed the cat near to me

"Like if I agree-"

"You'll come" he nodded

"As I was saying if I agree to come with you. Where are we going?"

"I don't know, just where we end up driving to" he shrugs his shoulder

"I don't like your answer" holding the cat on my arms, actually like a baby.

"I wasn't informed that you wanted a beauty contest worthy answer" he rolls his eyes.

"You had your chance, now leave so I can go back to sleep" I pointed to the window where he now usually enters.

"I don't have anything to do, I'm bored" he complains.

"Call your friends, play Xbox, ahm try making a youtube channel. I don't care, just let me sleep again" I push him off my bed.

"I have a video of your snoring" he said out of nowhere.

"What?!"

"I do have" he takes out his phone and hold it towards me. A video of my snoring was recorded.

"YOU!" I angrily said.

"If you don't want to come with me, then maybe I should make a youtube channel and this video is my first upload" he's blackmailing me.

"Fine!" I'll come with you, I stomp my way to the bathroom "Could you just wait for me downstairs as I get ready"

"Sure!" He picks Maximus up and tag it along with him downstairs.

"I wish I never liked you" I mumbled in my breath.

"Did you say something?" He asked

"Nope!" I said before closing the bathroom door.

****

"Where are we going, Chace?" I probably asked a thousand times already

"Hush!" He puts a finger over my lips, shutting me up. I pushed it away.

"Why? Is this a murder crime scene or is this where you're going to kill me?" I put exaggeration

"Please! Shut or I'll kiss you" I turned to me, it made me stop for a second

Kiss me? Though I would love for him to do that but I'm not that type of girl that would give it away, he already took my first kiss.

"I'll shut up" I said, putting my hands up in surrender "but where are we really going?"

"Cassie!" He spoke my name in full annoyance.

"Okay, fine!" We are walking on a trail like forever, I was even thinking that maybe Bella and Edward are here or Jacob running around in wolf form "That's awesome!" I mumbled in the thought, Chace looked at me in confusion. He must have heard me mumbled.

A few walks more, we reached the lake.

"You wanted to go to the lake?" He nodded "We could have driven around so that we wouldn't have to walk" I pointed the other way

"I had to have my morning walk" he is smirking, I know he just wanted to annoy me so he made me walk

"Jerk" I muttered, he runs towards the lake. "Wait up!" Running after him

"Hurry!" I looked around the lake but not many people are coming here, like before and it somehow saddens me. My family used to come here on weekends for picnics, canoeing or fishing. "Tada!" He presented the Canoe like a magician on his best trick ever

"Nice" Nodding, smiling

"My lady" he offers his hand

"Good Sir" I curtsey before taking his hand entering the canoe "Corny" he chuckled

****

"I'm sorry to remind you but I haven't had breakfast yet so now I'm hungry" I told him rubbing my hungry belly

"No worries" he waves his index finger from left to right then revealing a picnic basket on his side of the seat

"Wow!"

"I don't want you to famine on this date- I mean day" he corrected his words

Oh my fucking Gosh!

"Date?" I repeated

"This is not a date but if you want it to be" he bites his lower lip.

"Do you want it to be a date?" I ask him, not wanting to sound desperate

"Shit!" He cursed "Fine! Yeah, I wanted this to be a date, for I like you, Cass! I admit at first I didn't like you, not even one piece of you then something happened maybe my admiration started at the blind date we had by accident then we somehow became sorta friends, after I grew out to like you more because of the little things I came out to know about you" he speaks, my jaw-dropping "Is it bad to like your enemies?" He added

"I don't know what to say" I said

"I understand that you still hate me for breaking your best friend's heart, I was such a dick. But if you would let me prove to you that I've changed" I wanted to say that I like him too but a flashback of him kissing Megan at school the other day came to me, if he claims that he liked me long before then why did he kiss Megan "Say something please" he leaned to look at me "Cassie?"

"I wanna go Chace" I said looking away

"Okay" he looked disappointed and turned the canoe around.

The car ride home was silent, he didn't try to talk to me or do something that could lure me off more. He stopped in front of my house, I hopped out without even saying a word nor glancing at him. Closing the door behind me, hitting my head slowly on the door.

"Am I right to blew him off? I like him so why would I be afraid of my feelings for him. I should be happy that he liked me too" talking to myself "I should apologize" I opened the door but I don't have the courage to walk out.

Shit!
