The Bad Boy (35 page)

He eyes shot to
mine with shock. “I’m not mad!” He reassured me and I sighed with
relief. “I’m just annoyed because I don’t want her messing with
you. I mean any more than she already has.”

I kissed him on
the lips and pulled back. “It doesn’t even matter, she still hates
me but I tried right? I mean the truth really struck me. I didn’t
know someone could be so cruel but she is proof that there are
people who can be.”

Jared nodded his
head and pulled me into a hug. “Yeah well that’s Anna for you.
You’re right though, at least you tried but now all you can do is
forget her and everything she has done.”

“
That
sounds good to me!” I laughed pulling back and resting my chin on
his chest. “So what do you say to going back to your house and
forgetting… what was her name again?” I joked and squealed when
Jared started tickling my sides.

He pulled me into
a kiss and I was left breathless when he stopped. “I would answer
that but I don’t know who you are talking about either.”

I laughed shaking
my head. “Good because you have me and I should be the only girl on
your mind!” I sent him a smirk.

He wiggled his
eyebrows. “Don’t worry babe, you are. Most of the time you are
naked though.” He moaned nibbling on my neck. “And God, I love you
naked.”

I wrapped my arms
around his neck and moved my lips to his ear. “And I love your bad
boy kisses.” I whispered before pulling him into another
kiss.

Like every other
time he took my breath away.

And I wasn’t
lying either.

I really did
love his bad boy kisses.

“
Please stand for the bride.”

The church looked
amazing with all the family members and friends filling the pews.
The flower petals scattered around the aisle from when the cute
little flower girl had thrown them made it look peaceful. I watched
as everyone stood and turned to the back of the church, awaiting
the arrival of the bride. A soft melody was playing in the
background bringing a peaceful moment among everyone. The two large
doors opened and a moment of aw was brought to everyone as the
beautiful bride took her first step into the church—

“
Do I
really have to watch this shit?” Jared groaned throwing his head
back onto the couch and closing his eyes in pain.

I snapped my head
to face him automatically. “The movie just started! How can you
already be bored?”

Keeping his
position he answered. “Easy. It’s a boring romance movie where they
fall in love and then something oh so drastic happens that they
spilt apart and then years later they are going to find each other
again.”

I looked back at
the television screen and scrunched my forehead. That’s exactly
what the movie was about. But I wasn’t going to tell him that. “So
what if it is? I have to watch your scary movies all the time. The
least you could do is watch a movie I want too.”

He opened his
eyes to look at me and then sighed. “I better get sex after this
Emilie.” Then he smirked and added. “Or at least a
sandwich.”

I picked up one
of the pillows off the couch and threw it at his face. “Screw
yourself. Now you can get neither and still have to watch the
movie.”

“
I
don’t think so woman!” He protested pulling the pillow away from
his face where it had hit him.

“
Then
maybe you shouldn’t open your mouth!” I stuck my tongue out at him
turning back to the movie. I felt the couch shift but ignored it
until I felt Jared press his body up against mine.

“
You’re right.” He whispered in my ear and then nibbled on it.
“That’s your job.”

I turned around
and pounced on him making him fall back onto the couch with me on
top of him. “You are such a pig Jared McKingsley!” I started
playfully hitting his chest while laughing as he struggled to block
my fists.

“
You
wouldn’t want me any other way though.” He flipped me onto my back
and laid half of his body onto mine, pinning part of me down. He
ducked his head and kissed me quickly pulling back smiling down at
me.

I rolled my eyes
and reached my hand up brushing some of his hair out of his eyes
that had flopped down from us wrestling. “I guess…” I teased poking
his cheek and then craned my neck and kissed him on the
nose.

“
You
guess?” He questioned quirking an eyebrow and leaning down towards
my face. “You mean yes.”

I shook my head
biting my lip to hold back a smile. “Nope!” I popped the ‘p’ and
then started squealing when Jared tickled my sides. “No!
Stop!”

“
Take
it back then!” He chuckled sitting up on his knees and kept
tickling.

I was losing my
breath and I’m pretty sure my face was red. “Fine!” I cried
fighting his hands off of me. “I don’t want you any other
way!”

“
That’s what I wanted to hear.” He said placing his hands on
either side of my face and leaning down to kiss me. I rolled my
eyes before closing them and kissing him back. He lowered his body
onto mine and used his elbows to support his weight, so he wasn’t
crushing me.

I wrapped my legs
around his waist and started running my hands through his hair. He
pulled away from my lips and started kissing down my neck making me
moan. His hands started to wonder, lifting my shirt up but just
when it was at the edge of my bra, the doorbell rang.

Jared dropped his
head on my chest and groaned. “Seriously?” He whined.

I laughed and
pushed him off of me, pulling my shirt back down and trying to get
rid of the wrinkles. “Just go answer the door Jared.”

He gave me a
dirty look. “When I have a boner? Yeah, that’s a great welcome
gift!”

I shook my head
at him and got up from the couch. When I walked past him, I let my
hand run over his hard on and whispered. “It is for me.” Then went
to the front hall laughing when I heard him mumble a string of
curses under his breath.

The door swung
open just as my hand was reaching for the handle and in came Hailey
and Matt. Hailey was rambling on about something, her hands waving
in the air and Matt looked ready to punch someone. I quickly veered
my head to the left as Hailey’s hand came close to whacking me in
the face.

“
The
woman was an idiot! I’m the right one here! I mean who dies there
whole head blue!?” Hailey huffed and then she grinned when her eyes
landed on me. “Emilie! I missed you so much!” She wrapped her arms
around my neck and pulled me into her, squeezing the life out of
me.

“
It’s
good to see you too Hails.” I pulled away from her and then moved
to hug Matt who looked relieved that Hailey had stopped yelling.
“Hey Matt.”

“
Hi
Em, how are you?” He gave me a nicer hug then Hailey and then we
headed towards the living room where I’m pretty sure Jared was
trying to calm down Jared junior.  

“
Good
now that my first year of college is over.” I responded to Matt and
then looked to see Jared grinning at us from the couch… with a
pillow over his lap.

“
Hi
everyone.” He said making no intention of getting up and hugging
his friends. I stifled a laugh and Jared shot me a
glare.

Hailey plopped
down next to Jared and patted the pillow smirking at him. “You
always get boners at the worst time.”

My laughter
exploded throughout the room as Jared blushed a little from
Hailey’s bluntness. Matt shook his head and sat down next to
Hailey. “Stop picking on him Hail.”

Hailey turned to
Matt and patted his cheek. “Don’t worry sweetie, I didn’t tell
anyone that when you are hard it isn’t big enough to be visible.”
Unlike Jared Matt just glared at Hailey who grinned at him and
kissed him on the cheek.

My laughter
hadn’t faded and I was now crying and my stomach was in pain. “I
can’t believe you just said that!” I giggled my laughter finally
fading.

Jared and Matt
both picked up a pillow and started hitting Hailey with it. Before
I could react the three were in a pillow fight and I just stood
there smiling at my friends.

Two years after
high school and we were still as close as ever.

Jared and I were
living in our own home both in college and in a strong
relationship. Matt and Hailey were also in college but living on
campus and in just as a good of relationship as me and
Jared.

And as I watched
my best friends and boyfriend goof off, all I could think of was
how I didn’t wish anything went differently. The past was the past
and I was happy with what the present had for me and hopefully what
the future was going to have.

Conner, Anna and
everyone and thing that had been a problem for me was gone and I
didn’t have to worry anymore.

I smiled as Jared
jumped off the couch and left Hailey and Matt too it. He came over
to me and placed his hands on my hips. “What are you thinking of so
hard?” He put his forehead against mine. He was smiling
too.

“
Just
how happy I am.” I explained kissing him on the lips
lightly.

“
Yeah?
Well I’m happy too.” His lips brushed against mine as he
talked.

“
If
you two can stop all the touchy crap we would like to go out
already!” Hailey yelled pulling me away from Jared and towards the
front door.

I looked back at
Jared and winked. “I love you babe.”

“
I
love you too.”

“
And I
love food! So let’s go!” Hailey screamed pulling us all out the
door.

I laughed and
locked the door turning to my friends who were already walking down
the hallway. Hailey jumped onto Matt’s back and started ruffling
Jared’s hair and he was swatting at her hand, yelling for her to
stop.

Yeah, I
definitely wouldn’t have asked for anything different in my
life.

All was good for
me and I planned on keeping it that way.  

THE END!
