Chapter 23:Baking your face

"What was that about?"Alex asked as he inserted the key into the ignition.

"What was what about?"I answered his question with a question.

"You know damn well what I'm talking about so cut the crap" He was clearly pissed.

"Why are you acting like a dick?"I asked as he pulled out of the parking lot.

"I'm acting like a dick now huh?"He dared me to throwback another insult.

"Come on Alex,this is insane,i thought you were the one that told me about Cade so why are you acting like this,i thought you want his ass beaten up more than anything" I glared at him.

"Yes i do but i think I've dealt with him well enough,you can see he's still recovering as his life is already ruined anyway"He told me.

"What do you mean by that?"I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Nothing"He fixed his eyes on the windshield as he drove roughly down the road.

"Spill it"I said.

"Spill what?"He asked.

"Look Alex, I'm not in the mood for your games right now,i know you're hiding something, what the hell do you mean by his life is already ruined?"I questioned.

"Damn it Liv!why must you poke your nose in matters that doesn't concern you" He yelled.

"If i remember clearly, I was the one who was almost raped so i think it's one hundred percent more of my concern than yours"I pointed out.

"You wouldn't have known about that shit if i didn't tell you"He spat.

"How long were you gonna keep it from me?the truth would have eventually come out one way or the other"I told him.

"Not every secret gets exposed,some secrets remain hidden till eternity"He said.

"And what's that supposed to mean?"I rolled my eyes.

"It means... it's not in all cases that the truth must always be revealed. That shit only happens on Tv. At times, secrets don't ever leak"He explained.

"That makes no sense"I told him.

"Exactly my point,it doesn't make sense,so does your curiosity"He told me.

"That's insane"I scowled even though i know he can't see me since his eyes are fixed on the damn road.

"Can we not talk about this anymore?that shit happened like a year ago and i don't think we should be wasting time talking about these kind of shit"He said.

"Whether it happened a year ago or even centuries ago,it doesn't change the fact that i was almost raped, this is serious Alex, it's not a joke"I inform him.

"So what do you wanna do,press charges against him?"He glares at me from the corner of his eyes.

"No...well... I don't think i should, things has changed and i think he's gotten what he deserves already"I said.

"Yeah and he's also lost his basketball scholarship so it's fair enough"He said and his eyes widen immediately.

Alex's POV

"What?"She gasped.

Why the fuck did i just tell her that!

"Um....i mean...." I can't come up with any reasonable lie.

"He lost his basketball scholarship? How?"She asked.

"Well... that's last year stuff"I told her.

"Tell me Alex,what did you do"She gave me a nasty glare.

"As the head and team captain,and also you know my Dad is one of the school's honourable sponsors so i told my Dad to make sure his scholarship gets cancelled"I said truthfully.

"You told your dad about me being assaulted?"She grimaced.

"Yeah but i didn't reveal your identity,i told him it's one of the students and made sure that the matter didn't get out"I explained.

"I don't know Alex,this feels wrong...so wrong"She places her hand on her thigh, tapping gently on it.

"No, it's sure damn right, stop overthinking it"I said.

"You know i can't help it Alex,why would you do such a thing Alex,i know what he did was extremely unjustifiable but you know Basketball is his dream,why would you do that just because your father is wealthy and you can have your way" She yelled.

"I know it's wrong of me but he's a prick and he deserves worse than that"I said in my defense.

"Alex this isn't right, how'd you feel if you were in his position?"She asked.

"Firstly,i can't be in his position because I'm not a double badged asshole and secondly that shit can't happen to me because I'd never try to take advantage of a girl"I told her.

"But still...this is insane,i know i should be mad at him...hell I'm more than mad at him but I can't ruin his life for something he probably regrets doing"She said.

"He doesn't regret doing it"I told her.

I don't know why the fuck she keeps defending him even after knowing how much of an asshole he truly is. I had expected her to hate him and never even mention his name again but here she is.... discussing about that prick and even defending him.

Who does that?.

"And who told you that he doesn't?"She questioned.

"I know he doesn't regret shit,i bet h was tryna take another shot with you that's why he still kept coming close to you all this while and you stupidly welcomed him"My temper was rising.

I'm loosing it.

"I know you have a point but this still doesn't feel right, I won't be able to live with myself knowing that someone's dreams were crushed because of me"She said.

There you go,Liv always caring even when she shouldn't.

"What are you even saying,his scholarship was cancelled two weeks after the incidence last year and I'm pretty sure you've been living with your self"I said in humor.

"Yeah... because i didn't have any idea about all this and now that i do,i want you to give him back his scholarship"She said.

Is she high or drugs or something? If she is,then i think she took an expired those cause the shit is really messing with her damn brain.

That's if she has one.

"So not happening,now get out of my car"I told her.

Liv's POV

Is he insane?

"What do you mean by get out of your car?are you mad?"I yelled.

"No, seriously Liv, I'm done with this conversation,get out"He said calmly.

"Oh so this was your plan all along,to bring me to the middle of no where and then tell me to get out?"I was beyond angry.

"What are you talking about?"He asked in pretence as he turned off the engine.

"Look Alex,you better start that damn engine, I won't have you kick me out of your car on the road"I yelled.

"Kick you out?what are you evening talking about?...well it seems you're enjoying the car too much so I'll leave,meet me inside"He said and my attention immediately turn to the background, scanning the environment of my house.

"I...."

"If you weren't too busy bugging me, you'd have known that we've gotten home"He said and got out of the car, slamming the door behind. I also pulled the door open and slid out of the passengers seat.

I shut the door behind and he locks it before we both march towards the building. I was beyond pissed and embarrassed.

As i unlocked the front door,i scampered into the house immediately and threw my backpack on the couch and then collapsed beside it.

"Why didn't you just say 'We're home Liv, let's get out of the car' must you always be a dick?"I asked with folded arms.

"Oh so now I'm a dick?You were pissing me off and if you weren't too busy talking about irrelevant things then you'd have noticed when i pulled into the driveway"He said as he kicked off his shoes by the door.

"Hey!gey your shoes away from there, that's untidy"I yelled.

"I've been doing this all these while I've been living in this goddamn house so why are you pointing it out today?"He asked as he made his way towards the kitchen. I immediately stood up and trailed behind as i followed him into the kitchen.

"Because I'm only noticing it today and I'm beyond angry right now Alex, don't add to my anger"I warned him.

"Who gives a shit about your damn anger?"He said as he took out a bottle of water from the fridge, drinking directly from the container.

Ew.

"That's gross"I informed him. Remind me never to drink from that container again.

"What?"He asked as he opened the fridge back and put the container of water back into the fridge.

"Don't do that again.ever."I scowled.

"What?"He raised his eyebrows.

"Don't ever drink directly from the container, it's disgusting, don't you have even a little bit of etiquette?"I grimaced.

"Who gives a shit about that stuff anyway?"He rolled his eyes as he grabbed an apple from the fruit basket on the counter and ate it without washing.

Double ew.

This boy lacks hygiene.

"Hey!"I growled.

"What?"He asked as he chewed the damn apple.

"Why the hell did you eat that without washing?"I was disgusted.

"Two reasons"He told me.

"Which are?"I raised my eyebrows with my arms crossed.

"One, I don't give a shit. Two,you shouldn't either"He said as he shoved the half eaten apple into my mouth.

What the fuck!

I immediately threw it into the trashcan can and ran to the sink to wash my mouth. I can hear him laughing behind me.

Dickhead.

I turned off the tap and stormed back to face him.

"What in the name of fuck was that!"I yelled.... practically screamed.

"Ha!you should have seen your face... priceless" He laughed.

"This isn't funny Alex!"I yelled.

"Of course it isn't.... it's hilarious" He kept laughing and i was debating whether to pick up the knife on the counter and shove it down his throat.

It will be an epic headline "Girl stabs boy after he put dirty apple into her mouth"

"Earth to Olivia" He snapped at me.

"What?"I asked.

"Have you been listening to what I've been saying?" He asked.

"What?"I asked.

"What were you daydreaming about?" He smirked.

"I wasn't daydreaming"I informed him.

"Yes you were...you were probably daydreaming about me but you have nothing to worry baby girl, I'm all yours"He smirked.

"How many times to i have to warn you before you stop calling me that!"I yelled.

"Probably hundred more times then I'll consider your request"He winked.

Damn he's so infuriating.

"You're annoying"I told him.

"I know i am....anyway,i was asking what we should make for dinner"He informed me.

"I don't know...maybe waffles,mac and cheese, cheesecake or pasta. Whichever you prefer"I suggested.

"I think we'll go with Mac and cheese, it's been long i ate it"He said.

"Okay then, I'll go up and shower then we can make it"I informed him.

"Me too,damn I'm so sticky and sweaty"He said and i laughed in response as we both left the kitchen. I grabbed my backpack from the couch as i followed him upstairs. I went into my room and locked the door immediately. I can't risk perverted assholes coming in when I'm undressed.

I placed my backpack neatly on my back hanger. I pulled off my clothes and threw them into the laundry basket before going into the bathroom.

I turned on the shower and let the cold water wash down my sorrows and sweat as i scrubbed my body with my banana shower gel. The intoxicating and sweet scent captivated my nostril as i scrubbed my entire body.

I rinsed off my body and then grabbed a towel which i wrapped around my body as i left the bathroom. I dried off my body and applied my papaya body lotion. I wore a pair of peach pyjama top and shorts before brushing my hair and packing it back.

After dressing up,i left the room and ran downstairs to the kitchen to find Alex already pulling out pans and utensils, making the whole place a mess.

Why are boys always such a mess?

"Hey Alex"I called as i approached him.

Alex's POV

She startled me with her voice and i immediately turned to see Liv putting on the sexiest pyjama I've ever laid my eyes on.

Damn those shorts clung tightly to her body and the almost transparent top isn't helping the rising bulge in my pant as i stare at the nipples sticking out behind the thin fabric.

All trails of sanity left me that moment as i bit my lips, staring at her beautiful features. Her hair was neatly packed like she was attending a slumber party.

Who dresses up so much at night for just dinner?

"Hey?"She stared at me in confusion.

She's clearly oblivious to what she's doing to me right now. I just wanna rip that cloth off her body and fuck her so bad that my name is the only words she'll scream.

Get a grip on yourself Alex, where's thus insane thoughts coming from?

"Um....hi"I stuttered.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"She rolled her eyes as she joined me in taking out the food items and utensils.

"Nice pyjamas" Way to go Alex.

Fuck! why did i say that.

"Uhm..thanks"She smiled sweetly.

Why am i feeling this way about her, I'm going nuts.

The rest of the cooking was done in silence as i could barely form a proper sentence with the torture i was already receiving by just staring at her body.

Boy this girl has killer curves.

We settled down on the dinning and ate while most of the light conversation we were having was being said and directed by Liv. I kept giving dry short responses and nods.

I'm sure she wore this on purpose to tease me.

"Are you even listening?"She asked.

"Huh?"I had no damn idea what she's been talking about since this dinner began.

"You're lost, what are you thinking about?"She asked with a worried expression.

I'm thinkingnking about fucking your ass so badly that my name is the only thing you scream.

"Uhm...i was...um"I stuttered wordlessly.

"I don't quite understand you, you haven't even touched your food"She said and that's when i even realize ny plate has been untouched the whole time.

"Uhm... I've lost my appetite"I told her.

"What?but you chose this meal remember?" She growled.

"Yeah I'm feeling pregnant" What the hell did i just say?

"Pardon?"She rolls her eyes.

"I mean,my stomach is heavy,i think I'm full"I told her.

"But you haven't even touched your meal"She stares at me like I'm some fucking alien.

"I'll.... yeah... I'm..."Can't this be any less embarrassing?

Liv's POV

What's wrong with him? why's he acting weird?

"You should eat up or else your food will get cold"I told him.

"Yeah....i guess"He grabbed his spoon, picking on his food.

"Why are you behaving weird?"I asked.

"Because i feel like b..... baking your face"He told me.

"Baking my face?"I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Yeah...uhm...no...what i meant was...i feel like.... I don't know... let's just eat"He immediately took a spoonful of macaroni and cheese into his mouth.

I didn't bother to make any comments again and kept all thoughts to my self as we ate the rest of the dinner in silence.

After clearing the table and tidying up the kitchen,we both assembled in the living room as we watched fifty shades of grey. I've seen this movie like fifty times but something about it keeps me intrigued.

"Lame"Alex comments.

"Huh?"I glare at him.

"These romance movies are always lame, let's watch something better"He has definitely lost his mind.

"No way Alex, it's either you watch this movie with me in peace and shut the hell up or you get your ass up to your room"I scowled.

"I'll be in my room,the movie's dumb anyway" He stood up and turned to leave.

Dumbo

"And Liv..."He called.

"You might wanna wear a bra next time you put on that pyjama"
