I was digging into the food mum had prepared for me in the food box while Ryan sat next to me as he watched me eat and then smile.“How long are you going to watch me eat?” I asked him, suddenly dropping a spoon into the cereals I was eating and facing him, raising my brows at him as he chuckled, turning his gaze away from me.He played with his fingers and opened his mouth partly and looked at me, his lower lips twirling to a warm smile.“Till you finish eating,” He quirked his brow at me, while I stared deeply into his hypnotizing gaze.“You are making me shy,” I pouted at him and grabbed my spoon, and took a spoonful of cereals into my mouth.“You look cute!” He expressed imitating the way I pouted earlier by pushing his lower lips to the front, then he smiled and winked at me.“Stop it,” I growled at him and quickly stared at the teacher in charge of watching detained students, but he was very much far away from Ryan's and I world, with a plugged Bluetooth AirPods in both ears and
It was late at night, my mum and stepdad had gone out for a date and won't be back until the next day and Ryan said he was going out in the evening to hang out with his friends.I was the only one in the house, and I was stuck in my bedroom while chatting with Aiden.'I'm alone at home, I feel bored,' I typed on the keyboard while checking the words to make sure I didn't type an error before clicking on the send icon.I sighed and tossed my phone on the bed, I picked up the novel I was reading, 'Unlocking the millionaire's heart,' I read through some paragraphs before my phone made a beep sound, letting me know a message just got in.“When will you be sleeping over at my place?” He asked, I smiled sheepishly at the screen of the phone and began typing.“I don't know yet, my mum will kill me if she finds out I'm sleeping over at a guy's place,” I typed and sent the text to him which he read immediately, though the part telling him my mum would kill me if she found out I was staying at
“Remove your clothes!” Ryan ordered, his face was all serious, saying it with demand, his gaze fixed strongly on me.“Excuse me?” I shot at him, feeling astounded for a second also pinning my gaze heavily at him.“You are joking, right?” I asked, then he started walking closer to me, his face was deadpanned serious.'I'm not washing my hair again,' I thought to myself as he approached me, my breath was coming out shortly.“Do I look like I'm joking?” He inquired, staring intimately at me.I stared into his hazel eyes for a while, wondering what went wrong with him.“Ryan,” I called his name, my mouth quavering, feeling his name on my lips.“I-I don't think I'm washing my hair again,” I stuttered while he shot a questioning brow at me and tilted his head to the side, staring at me like, 'Am I for real?'. Without saying anything, I turned around and started making my way toward the door.I heard a peal of laughter behind me. “Oh goodness,” I heard Ryan laugh, and I turned around immedia
Hailey's POV.I opened my eyes slowly, a bright smile appearing on my lips, “Hmm!” I yawned turned on my side and grabbed the pillow hugging it tightly.A sudden wave of happiness wrapped around me while I yawned again and rolled to the other side of the bed with the pillows cuddled in my arms.Yesterday, was fun, fun in the sense that Ryan and I kept on talking for hours, until we lost track of time before he retreated to his room, I was happy that the crazy side of him when I just returned recently had left him.Honestly, I thought he was going to keep on being a jerk towards me at first, that he hated me, maybe he was just having a bad time when I got back, that was why he was that way with me.I smiled again and hugged the pillow tightly, squashing the soft pillow in my arms.My throat went dry suddenly, and I decided to stand up from my bed, although I was feeling a bit lazy to get out of bed. I just wanted to lay in bed all day and grin to myself, since it was weekends.I finall
“What do you mean you weren't on track with her?” I questioned him, surprisingly.“Is she not your girlfriend?” I threw at him, chopping the last tomatoes.“And how many times do I have to tell you, she isn't my girlfriend?” Ryan shot back, and I stopped chopping and turned around to face him with a disapproved look.“But you do know, she loves you,” I frowned, folding my arms on my chest, if he wasn't serious with her then he should stop toying with her feelings.“Ley, can we not talk about this?” He sighed in frustration, raking his fingers through his hair, and gave me those usually tired looks in his eyes.“If you are not interested in her, then stop toying with her,” I glared at him.“Excuse me? I'm not toying with her, she knows how I feel with her, she's just being clingy, it's her not me,” Ryan implied, giving me an irritated look and I sighed.Ryan began walking closer to me, “I continue with the chopping,” He said, and I turned around immediately.“No, I'll finish it,” I tol
“Hello, Dad,” I greeted him immediately after he picked up the call.“Hey, Princess,” He greeted in his deep voice, and I smiled.“How are you doing? It's been a while since I've spoken with you,” He said.“Yeah, it is. I'm doing fine here, in school and my swimming lessons,” I told him.“That's great,” “Yep,” “How are things with you, Dad?” I asked him.“Well, I'm coping here, I've been trying several jobs here,” He told me and I smiled wearily.“Don't worry, you'll find the one suitable for you, Dad,” I assured him.“I know, Hailey,”“How's your mum?” He asked while I adjusted myself in the bed.“She's fine, I'm trying to get along with her,” I responded, and he chuckled softly.“That's great to hear, Princess,” He sounded a bit calm.“Yeah,” “Hailey got to go, I will call you soon,” He notified.“Okay, Dad, I love you,” I muttered.“I love you too, princess,” He reciprocated and hung up the call.I sighed in frustration, laying my back on the bed. There hasn't been anything much
I just finished tying the lace of my black sneakers when there was a knock on my door.I sling my backpack over my back and headed towards the door. I opened the door and Ryan smiled as his gaze fell on me.He dressed casually, “Are you ready?” He asked, and I nodded, my chocolate brownish hair was curtaining both sides of my face.“Yeah,” I answered, clutching my left fingers on my backpack straps.Ryan moved from the doorway and I walked out while he closed my door behind me.After, locking the front door of the house, I trailed behind Ryan to his sports car. It was getting late at night.Ryan, opened the back seat for me while I stared at him questioningly.“Drop your backpack in the back seat, I already have the tents and sleeping bag in the trunk,” He informed me while I nodded as I moved closer to him.I dropped my backpack in the back seat and walked to the passenger's door and unlocked it.I slumped into the leather seat while Ryan closed the backseat door and made his way to t
Ryan, Brielle, and I walked deeper into the woods, with each of us switching on the torch on our phones as we looked for sticks for a bonfire.“So, Hailey, have you ever gone camping before?" Brielle asked, I just straightened myself after picking a stick and added it to the ones in my arm.“No, this is my first time,” I answered truthfully.“Wow, that's funny,” She chuckled, I glanced over my shoulder and saw that Ryan was at the other side far behind us.“Yeah,” I half-smiled at her and bent to pick another stick again.“You should have informed your boyfriend, to tag along with you, we could even get to know him better,” She said, and I felt my stomach twist in a knot.“He's busy with his project,” I lied and tried to walk away from her.I picked more sticks, my eyes caught, and soon they started getting heavy in my arms.“I think this is enough,” I alerted, checked what Brielle had picked so far, and it wasn't anything near mine.That girl, she's been disturbing us with talks and
