Forever and Always

Ch. 8 The Bad Boy Club

"William? Why are we in this part of town?" I ask, as he pulls up the drive to an old house. The paint was chipping off the side, and weeds grew in clusters in the yard. Music was playing and laughter filtered out through old stained windows. 

It wasn't that I looked down on this life style, hell I grew up in this kind of neighborhood. Well, not so much of the falling down porch, weeds, and trash everywhere part but we were poor. People like us hated rich people. 

William said nothing as he pushed the kick stand down with his foot. I let go of him so he could step off. I hate bikes! They are scary and way to fast. I pulled my helmet off and felt my hair stand on end. Oh God, I'm gonna have helmet hair for a week after this. 

William chuckled at me as he got off and pulled his helmet off. Ugh!!! The arrogant prick!!!

He smirked as he ran a hand through his hair and pushed his glasses up his nose. "Stay here by the bike I'll be right back."

"But....I....!" Ugh, dam. I shook my head and glared at his back as he went up the cracked concrete steps two at a time. 

He didn't even knock. He just walked right in and shut the door. I heard cheerful yelling a couple of seconds later. I watched the windows and door for him. I glanced at the kitchen window and saw a face lean closer, like the guy was looking at me. I swallowed and looked down at my feet. I pulled my fingers through my hair to try and straighten it.

Talk about nerve wrecking. My day just keeps getting better because not long after that, I hear a bike rev up behind the house. Yep, William is in a biker gang with some actual gangsters! Great I knew I was gonna die young and William hates me enough to kill me!! 

I know I'm over exaggerating and stressing about this, but can you really blame me? I stayed locked in my room for years because I knew the poor side was trouble, and now I'm a anti social loner. This new life is about to drive me insane because I have to see people, and be seen by people. Ugh... I just want to be invisible again.. doesn't look like that's gonna happen anytime soon. 

The front door swung open with a bang, making me jump. William and three other guys walked out. I started drooling. Ok maybe it's not so bad here after all. I laughed in my head, or did my mind just laugh at me!!! The three guys had on baggy shorts or sweat pants but not one of them had a shirt on, and let me tell you!!! I really could picture myself licking any of their stomachs!! Six packs and V lines. It was like looking at Greek Gods!! Two of them smiled and winked at me causing me to blush and look down. 

William and the tallest guy didn't do much more than glance at me before talking a bit more. William looked like he was getting mad and waved his hand in my direction. I hope he's talking about the bike!!

About that time the bike that I had heard rev creeped around the side of the house. Who ever it was had a full helmet on and wore a leather jacket and dark blue jeans with boots. His jacket parted showing a white shirt underneath. 

He seemed to stare at me a bit before speeding off like a bullet. I jumped a little when William touched my shoulder. "Get on." He half growled. 

Dam. What did I do now? As soon as he was on and had the kickstand up, I got on and wrapped my arms around him. My arms tightened on his waist and I held back a gasp. I felt a six-pack, and I don't know how I missed it earlier, but it felt like his stomach was chiseled from a rock wall. Could William be as hot as those other guys? 

Dam four eyes can't be hot! He's my step brother! If I start drooling over him I'll be in Lilly's boat. Nope not going there. I need a dam car!

It wasn't long before we got to the school. There was a lot of bikes. I jumped off hanging my helmet on the back seat and ran for the school doors. I had to fix my hair and tell Lilly and Haley everything. I was in so much of a rush that I ran straight in to Haley. We steadied each other before I grabbed her hand and pulled her into the nearest bathroom to fix my hair. 

"O.M.G. What is up with you, and we gotta get out of here now!!" Haley whisper screamed at me."

About that time a guy walked out of a stall. "Yeah unless one of you want to join me in here for a little while get...." he paused when he saw me. "out.." He whispered the last, so I almost didn't hear him say out. A giggle sounded from the stall he just left and I turned beat red. 

I turned to Haley, "We're in the boys bathroom aren't we?" 

"Yep, we are." She nodded. 

The guy smiled and I paled. That's when Mrs. Giggles walked out. She laughed and kissed the guy on the cheek. He pushed her off and smirked at me. "Offer to join me still stands sweetheart."

"Umm...No!" I grab Haley and we walk out the door Mrs. Giggles and the guy behind us. There was a collective amount of cheers for the guy and laughter. 

Kill me now I shouted in my mind. Haley just glared at everyone and pulled me over to the girls bathroom. Lilly was standing by the sink washing her hands and making kissy faces at the mirror. She smiled really bright and swung around. Her hair fanned out behind her and bounced around her shoulders. 

I'm having the best day ever. Classes haven't started yet and I want to go home. I fell into Haley s arms and almost started crying as she patted my back. Lilly walked over and hugged me. squashing me into Haley. Now I can't breath. 

Lilly asked, "What's wrong honey? You can tell us."

"O.M.G. I don't know how to tell you guys! It starts with William making me ride that death trap of a bike, helmet hair, sexy gang members, and now running into the bathroom and walking out with a guy I don't know. I just want to die right now!!" We turn loose of each other and I look at Lilly. "Don't hate me but William is hot! He's got a six-pack and everything!" I drool in my head. 

Lilly drops her jaw and fake swoons. "I wish I was you I'd be in heaven!" She smiles at me. "I can't hate you after you gave me the info needed for my William fantasy." 

Haley sputtered, "Wait.....Whattt... Gang members! You better get to explaining or I'm gonna be talking to William!" 

I shook my head with wide eyes. "I'll tell you everything! Just give me a second to breath."
