Lessons From Mr. Bad Boy |COMPLETED|✔

~Chapter 26~

"A date?" Alex laughs heartily while taking a quick lick of his vanilla ice cream. We had earlier stopped at an ice cream shop, and then found ourselves parked in the middle of nowhere.

I laugh along with him, as we talked about my 'date' with George. He thought the whole situation was a big joke, which I understood. He even thought George was cringy, which we laughed to next, as I went on to describe him. "Wow. And then you just left?"

A slight blush takes over my cheeks, and I couldn't help but think back to the first time we met and he left me in his home to finish the project we were assigned, it weirdly made me feel giddy inside, like I was going to suddenly burst of happiness. I always striked me how Alex and I could be anywhere and I'd be happy; sitting on top of a car with trees as our seniory wasn't the best place, but being Alex made it seem so. It was strange.

"Yeah." I gush, as I scooch into Alex's chest on the top of his car.

"Our lessons are over, Babe. You're a total badass now." Alex swings his arm around my shoulder. I turn to him, surprised, for, I had totally forgotten our little deal. It felt like years ago that we had met, even if in reality; it was about a month ago.

Alex licks his lips before planting them on mine. "You're so fucking beautiful! Now tell me what happened with your brothers!" At that, I pulled away and lightly push Alex up.

The question was unexpected. I still haven't told my brothers about Alex and I -completely at least- that, Alex knew.

"They still don't want us to-" I pause, what were we really? Alex and I never really got to that part in our talk in his garden. Before I could overthink the situation, Alex say; "they don't want us to date? Won't accept that you are my girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" I whisper lowly, blushing, while tightening my hold on his hand.

"Do you not like it? Sorry!" I felt Alex starting to panic next to me, which set me in panic mode as well.

"No, Alex. I love it." This was the truth, I did love it! This was the first time I was someone's girlfriend-really.

"Oh." He smiles, "now eat your ice cream, it's melting!"

Alex and I finished our ice creams and decide it would be best for me to go home while it was still early. We got in his car and began to drive to my house.

When we stopped, I spotted something, or some people.

"Wait. What are my brothers doing outside?!" I open the door to the car, and stepped out.

Alex steps out after me, and walks over to my side. He grabs hold of my hand and together, we walk up the sidewalk over to my brothers.

"Hey." Antony says, coolly. Too coolly for my liking, and quickly, I began to panic. What were they up to? Was this some type of ambush. I was ready for anything, and so was Alex, because his grip on my hand harden and I knew he was thinking the same thing.

I gave my brothers a small smile, before introducing Alex; "I know you guys already met, but you didn't meet him as my boyfriend." I tried to sound as calm as possible, I want my brothers to know this was my decision, not theirs this time. "Which is what he is now."

I look at Antony specially, knowing he would have something to say, but, he kept his mouth shut and instead-

"I'm really proud of you my pumpkin. Your first boyfriend!" I stood in shock as Antony proceed to hug me. He continued to smile as he took both my shoulders in his arms, it was a one sided hug as my mouth hung open, completely astonished.

"Come in!" Grey says, leading us to the front door of our home. I was still in shock, but managed to return Antony's genuine smile.

It was like he suddenly changed, I wasn't complaining, but it was still... strange and it for sure confused me to the core. So, as we took a seat on our living room couch, I asked the question that was circulating all our minds; "Antony, are you not mad?"

Antony frowned and I worried that this was all an act. "That you have a boyfriend? No, um. Ginger, you're my sister, and I was just trying to be a good brother. But, I wasn't making you happy; which is always my main purpose. But, I realized that, Alex did. And, um. I don't want to get in the way of that."

I gulp, joy and sadness cursing through my veins at the same time, I wanted to cry, which I did. Alex instictly hugs me, telling me how happy he knew I was. I felt two more pairs of arms join in and I began to cry harder. "I love you guys!" I croak, "alot."

My brothers began to laugh, and I couldn't help but join in. We all seperated and Alex smile, hugging me once more. "I'm sorry for the trouble I've cost too." Alex looks between both my brothers.

"You are forgiven." They say in unison, giving Alex a hug.

Through my tears, I smiled, this was how it was supposed to be. This was my happy ending, and maybe it wasn't just Alex and I on the last page of our fairytale, but my brothers too. All that mattered, was that my favorite people were getting along, and that really made me happy.

"Now, what are we going to do for you birthday, pumpkin?-"

"Oh! We are definitely having the party in my garden!" Alex yells.

"A garden?" Grey says, surprised.

"Yeah, it's really nice! I've been there!" I say, joining them on the couch.

"You have?-"

"Tell us that story!" Antony leans forward and I begin to tell them what happened, leaving out that Alex and I kissed, that was for another day, because right now, it was THE END.
