Living With The Bad Boy

After a lot of insults and persuasion from Hailey, I finally decided to change my outfit. I fixed myself up before we both left for the living room where my mum sat with her phone in hand as she typed freely.

“Hey mum, I’m going shopping with Hailey” I informed her as soon as we approached her.

“Okay sweetie, have fun” She said without looking away from the device in her hand. Whatever she was doing has clearly taken over her that she didn’t bother looking up at us.

We both walked past her and made our way out of the house. Once we got to Hailey’s car, I sat at the passengers seat while she sat at the drivers and turned on the engine of the vehicle.

In no time, we were already driving down the road in high speed.

“So, what about Aiden. How’s things going between the both of you?” She asked with her eyes fixed on the road.

“We’re good” I simply said.

“Okay” She said and the rest of the drive was in silence.

Within a few minutes, we drove into the parking lot. Hailey parked into a comfortable space and then we both got out of the car. Once the car was locked, we both made our way towards the building. We both grabbed two trolleys from the door side as we made our way further into the mall. We went straight towards the clothing section.

I picked a few tops and shorts along with undies while Hailey picked different sets of lingeries and swimsuits. We moved to the shoe section. I took three flats in blue, black and red while Hailey took heels in various colors. We headed straight to the changing room and tested the outfits and shoes after which we headed out to the cashier. Hailey paid for the both of us with her Dad’s card and then we left the building.

Just as we walked towards the car, I bumped into someone, making my bags to fall to the ground.

“Oh I’m so sorry” Said the familiar voice as she bent down to pick up my stuff. I also bent down and helped her in picking it up.

“I’m so sorry” She apologized again and we got up.

“Elsa?” I asked.

“Oh, it’s you” Her face lost color and she turned around immediately to walk away but I stopped her.

“Look I’m sorry okay” I apologized immediately.

“Sorry for what exactly? For all the insults?” She glared angrily at me.

“I’m sorry, I’ve been meaning to apologize for a while now but I didn’t get the chance to” I said bitterly.

“Well, I guess I shouldn’t be mad at you, it wasn’t your fault. It’s that dickhead boyfriend of yours fault” She said calmly.

“Ex” I corrected.

“Huh?” She raised her eyebrow.

“He’s my ex” I informed her.

“But I still see you both together everytime and you still go to his house” She stared confusedly at me.

“Yeah, what’s the harm in that?” I asked her.

“I don’t know, it’s weird” She told me.

“It isn’t, that’s just your concept” I said to her.

“Well, it’s okay” She smiled softly.

“So am I forgiven?” I asked her.

“I guess” She chuckled.

“Oh thanks, you can come over to my place anytime you feel like, you’re more than welcome” I informed her.

“Oh really?” She asked in excitement.

“Yeah” I chuckled.

“That will be awesome” She laughed.

“I know right” I also laughed.

“If you two are done gossiping can we go already” I heard Hailey’s voice from the car where she stood. Our eyes immediately flew to her direction.

“Coming ma’am” I yelled at her.

“You should probably get going” Elsa said to me.

“Yeah sure, see you soon” I waved at her.

“Alright bye” She also waved at me as I began walking towards the car.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I see you guys are getting along. What were you both discussing and laughing about” Hailey asked as soon as I approached her.

“Nothing much, just casual stuff” I said and pulled open the car door.

“Casual stuff like what?” She asked as we both got into the car.

“Well, I apologized to her and invited her over” I informed her.

“You did what!” She exclaimed.

“Invited her over, anything wrong with that?” I raised my eyebrow at her.

“No” She said to me as she started the engine.

“Then why did you just yell?” I asked her.

“Cause I’m surprised” She said as she drove backwards.

“Surprised about what?” I laughed.

“You apologized to the girl you never liked and even invited her over to your house, all in one day. Why wouldn’t I be surprised?” She said to me.

“Well it’s not really a big deal” I shrugged.

“Nope, it’s a huge deal” She rolled her eyes.

“Whatever makes you sleep at night” I laughed as she pulled out of the driveway.
