The BadBoy Wants Me 2016 {revising} (#OnceUponNow) (#Wattys2017)

Third {revised}

The boy I met or more like bumped into in the hallway he leaned over from the drivers seat of the car and looked up at me in my soggy wet glory

"Need a lift?" he asked and I quickly shook my head

Then turning again I began walking bu this car followed my slow pace through the pouring rain that attacked the wind shield of his car it's wipers working over time swatting the droplets either side of the wind shield

"Are you sure?" he asked his eyes scanning my body over "it seems a little wet to be walking home?"

"Well it is raining genius" I snapped

"Ahh she speaks" he chimed and I muttered curses that would make a pirate cringe

I continued on my walk though my stride not faltering his vehicle keeping a jolting pace like a race car at a starting line intent on being ready when the flag dropped

he sighed asking for what felt like a thousand time though it was probably the first time he had asked

"Come on" he said "it's only a car ride it's not anything more then that or anything less"

I sighed finally giving in stopping my determined stride his car followed also halting in it's slow movements

"Fine" I grumbled causing a smile to appear on his face

He unlocked the car door popping it open for me and I slid in quickly shutting the door behind me all the while as my mind screeched stranger danger. He wound the windows up as I pulled my seat belt on but he didn't start the car I huffed and crossed my arms over my chest as I waited for him to go

"So" he started mindlessly tapping on the steering wheel not looking at me nor did he make a move to start driving "first things first"

He turned to me sharply holding out his hand in a quick movement I flinched a movement that was so small that it wasn't noticeable

"The names Rider Elliot" he smiled a mega watt smile that could probably power the entire west side county

Shivers racked my entire body as I hesitantly took his hand. Now, I'm not going to be all cliché and say that there were sparks and butterfly's fluttered around my stomach because there wasn't it was only a hand shake ... one that I never wanted to end

"Ashly Parker" I said quietly

He smiled bringing my hand up to his lips he placed a soft kiss on the back causing heat to crawl up the back of my neck as red tinted my cheeks and a cotton ball lodged itself in my throat I cleared it harshly yanking my hand away from his and tearing my eyes away from the green eyes boy beside me instead trading it for the wind screen and the houses and roads that were distorted by the many droplets covering it's surface only he didn't move

"Are you going to tell me where you live?" he said after a long pause as he reached back to the back seat of his car plucking something from the he returned to a straight position before depositing something on my head

I blushed with embarrassment as I pulled off the thing i knew to be a towel and quickly fed him the directions to my house and he repeated them back to meas i dried my hair

"Well" he said "you live a fair distance from school" he told me

"I'd go anywhere to get away from home" I muttered my eyes widening as I realized I had said that out loud but if he had heard me he took no notice as he spurred the car into life

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

He cut the engine the quietness jolting me out of my day dreaming state having spent the whole car ride staring out the window and he intently focused on the road ahead we now sat in a chain of awkward silence that had me fiddling with my sleeves

I felt his eyes on me or more particularly the sleeves of my damp jumper that did everything but keep me dry, it was only after a few minutes that I had enough courage to look up. Turning to him his eyes shot up to mine

"Well, erm, thanks?" I said my cheeks turning red "for driving me home" I added quickly grabbing the door handle

"Any time" he said as I popped the door open

To my surprise it had stopped raining the only evidence was the large puddles and pot holes filled too the brim with murky liquid he surprised me next by stepping out of his car as I stepped onto the pavement I looked up to my house feeling a little embarrassed it hasn't been looked after well for a while now the paint was peeling the windows were coated in something i could only describe as dirt the lawn was either dead or weed choked my eyes flashed to rider who seemed undeterred as he walked forwards and I hesitantly followed him. I felt worry course through me I really didn't want him to what if my dad was up what would he do to him butI didn't reprimand him as he walked beside me to my door step.

"You didn't need too--"

"Walk you up?" he asked "I know just--"

We started walking up the steps but we didn't even make it up half the amount of stairs before the front door was thrown open roughly slamming against the wall I grimaced at the smell that drifted towards me and knew fully well that he had been drinking again and yes there he stood clad out in a high vis vest and steel caps still sporting the hardhat showing that he had started drinking as soon as he got home which didn't surprise me it only made me ... sad.

He looked between us his scrutinizing gaze made me squirm then a deep frown appeared on his face as he hobbled down the last of the steps to stand in front of us he poked a thin finger into Riders chest who looked at it with distaste

"what did you do to my daughter?" he slurred out his head tilted to the side slightly

"I didn't do anything to your daughter sir" Rider growled "and I would suggest that you sober up"

His face turned enraged as rider talked back to him he reached out for me yanking me up the rest of the steps he moved towards rider who looked intimidated by his large size and daunting muscles

"Dad" I said in a weak protest but quickly realized there was nothing a could do

He dragged Rider, who struggled against the harsh grip, onto the sparse grass throwing him onto it and before he could get up brought his steel cap back and struck him in the stomach

Rider gasped out in pain and then he turned his fury back to me forgetting about the person he had just assaulted. I looked to Rider who was already up I shook my head at both of them as my father grabbed my arm in a vice like grip

"Go home Rider" he gave me a determined look and went to take a step forwards "please?"

He froze at the word a sad look came over his face as he nodded and that was the last thing i saw as I was dragged back inside
