Ch. 4

Katie

Coming over to my friend Bella's house for the first time and I am in awe of how nice this place is. My parents have way to many children to ever buy me a place like this. Being the middle child I always got hand me downs and left overs from my older sisters. Upper middle class family is stretched a little thin when providing for a large family.  Bella is a nice girl so I am trying hard to keep the green eyed jealousy monster from poking his head out.  "This place is gorgeous Bella!" Finally I stop drooling with envy and I'm able to speak.

"Thank you. I have been very excited to have it finished and everything set up. Living away from home for the first time has been a lot easier having a place I can make my own. Living alone was intimidating at first but I'm getting used to it. It also has a pool do you wanna check it out?" She asks turning towards the back door. "Of course I do!"

I keep rambling on about the house and how we need to have a sleepover and hang out more.  As I am taking it all in admiring everything not paying attention in front of myself I suddenly bump into Bella. Stopping abruptly then I freeze seeing why she stopped all the sudden.

“Who do you have hiding out here Bella? You didn't include this hottie when you were giving me the tour. Is he part of the complimentary guest package when I stay the night?” I asks while licking my lips.

Bella immediately scowled at him scrunching her brows together then turned to me, “This is Seth. You want to stay away from him. He is a dick!”

“I see he definitely has a big one,” licking my lips again with a giggle. Not sure when the I got so boldly blunt.

“I’m Seth. I do have a dick but I’m not one unless you cause me to be one.” He sticks out his hand earning a death glare from Bella.

“I’m Katie. Nice to meet you Seth” I say while giving him my best fuck me eyes.

“Come on Katie let’s go we have to go buy our books for class tomorrow!” Bella says turning on her heels grabbing me to leave.

I stop pulling my hand from Bella as Seth speaks again “You go to college with us Katie? What classes do you have? We may have some together."

As we talk about our schedules more I can tell Bella is annoyed and Seth turns to Bella again. 

“What’s up with you?” He asked like he was annoyed too. Don't know the history here but I get the feeling they don't care for each other.

“Seth are you trying to torment me forever?” He was talking to me how is he tormenting her? I am just as confused as he is. She seems different around him.

“What are you talking about Bella? Get your little panties out of a bunch. I’m just chatting with your friend Katie. Can I not be polite to your friends?”

“I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the fact that we have almost every single class together Seth!” She tells him

“Well I didn’t do it. You must have found out my schedule. Are my parents paying you to spy on me now so you can tattle back to them?” Oh that's why they are both annoyed.

"Why in the world would your parents think they could pay me to tattle on you?" He starts to answer her when she puts her hand up stopping him just as he starts to speak. "Never mind your answer. I don't even want to hear it!"

Following Bella back into the house wondering what the hell is going on with her. Actually it was more like being drug behind her because surprisingly this girl is strong. Meeting her on campus a few weeks ago, we have hung out several times and she has never acted like this at all. She has always been bubbly and sweet since I have met her.

"What has gotten into you girl? I've never seen you act like this and now you are upset at probably the sexiest man alive?" She rolled her eyes at my question. 

"Dont be fooled by the hot body and overly charming attitude. My parents and his have been friends since we were born. I try not to ever bad mouth people but as my friend I am just warning you. Seth has been my biggest tyrant for the past four years. He and I were so close when we were younger but one day he changed and he has been cruel and humiliated me for a long time and I have no idea why. I have never done anything to him and he even included his little pose from school to torment me even further. Staying away from him saves you a whole mess of trouble and becoming another notch on his bed post. He always has a parade of girls he uses to satisfy his needs. You do not want to go through the pain and heart ache I have." She was furious and hurting when she talked about this godlike man. Bella must be deranged if she didn't try to land him. I don't care how long she has know him.

"Wow I didn't know you felt so strongly about him. I know I don't know the details but I would have never pictured him for someone to be cruel like that.  Maybe the player part but not cruel type.  I'll make sure to steer clear of him!" I give her the most sympathetic and sincere look I could muster up although I knew it was a complete lie. Given the chance I would be whatever he wanted me to be. I could tell we needed to end this conversation if I wanted her to calm down anytime soon. I would be every notch on his bed post if he let me. I am sure she wouldnt mind it since she can't stand the guy. She may have known him longer but I have seen nothing that wasn't incredible from the man. His body is drool worthy so I will definitely visit more if nothing else but to get a glimpse of him.
