《Bad Boy Next Door》Chapter 18: Bird Crash
Advertisement
"We are leaving for a friends wedding this weekend in Vegas" my mom begins, her voice raiding in anticipation
"Really? So we're leaving on Friday?" so glad to be away from Chace this weekend
"Honey, I meant me and your Dad" she pointed to her and Dad
"I'm not coming?"
"Sorry sweetie but we'll let you come next time" Dad gives my shoulder a comforting squeeze
"Fine, you too just enjoy the wedding" utterly relief from my enthusiastic response
"Thank you! You are the sweetest" mom beams in excitement and embraces me in a strong hug "we'll just bring you back a shirt or something"
"That would be fantastic" I try to hide the sarcasm.
"And I already asked Mrs. Wayne to come and check on you while we're away" she explains
"I'm not a kid any more mom, I can take care of myself" I assure them
"Don't tell me that, remember when you had that flu a couple of months ago. You were more than a whiny kid" she really don't trust me that much after that
"Like you've said it was months ago" I pointed out
"Cassie, it's still better than an adult is still watching over you" Dad taking my hand
"Okay, fine" I surrendered
"Your mom and I will be leaving tomorrow afternoon" he reminds me
"I'll be here to send you two off"
"That would be great"
****
"Bye!" I waved them goodbye as the car drove away, I was about to close the door when someone shouted.
"Wait!" I peaked out my head through the door and I saw Chace running towards the house. I immediately closed the door but he sneaks in his foot not letting the door close. "Hep! Hep!"
"Go away, Chace!" I push the door to close
"Wait! Wait! Ouch" he said pushing it open, he was really strong that he won
"What is it now?" I said clearly informing him that I don't want to see him
"You've been avoiding me these past 2 days" he said leaning on the door
After I realized that I was falling for this Jerk, I tried to avoid him every chance that I get.
"Because your face annoys me"
"Then you were really avoiding me" he snaps his finger in his correct thoughts "Why?"
"I don't want to talk about it right now so can you please leave!" I pointed out the door, gesturing for him to leave

"Is it that time of the month again?"
"LEAVE!" I pushed him out the door but he turned and entered instead
"Nope, No can do!" He shook his head, sitting on the sofa with feet resting on the table
"What do you mean by no can do?" I have my hand on my waist
"Mom said that I should look after you for she has a thing to attend to with my little sister" he explains, searching for the remote control
"I can handle myself, you can go home now"
"Sorry" singing it in a tone from Justin Bieber's song
"Okay, how can I get rid of you? A beer?" I offered him
"What kind of guy do you think of me?" He tries to sound like he was offended
"like most of the guys"
"Nope!" He finally found the remote control, waving it in his hand before finally turning the TV on "Oh Transformers!" he spoke those words in Optimus Prime's voice
"Fine! Whatever" I run-up to my room, slamming it close
How can you forget about someone if they won't leave you alone!
I was watching some Lucifer on my computer, through my headphones. I just felt the bed sinking beside me. I turned to see Chace's face looking at my screen, he's face was inches away from mine that made me swallowed in, nervously.
"What's the title?" He asked without leaving his eyes from the screen
"W-what?"
Why did I stutter? Stupid!
"The title" he pointed with his finger
"Oh Lucifer"
"Oh, Lucifer?"
"Just Lucifer"
"Lucifer" then he laid his head onto my teddy bear, Grizzly. I quickly pushed him off to save Grizzly "What?"
"You squashed Grizzly!" I said caressing the bears head
"Grizzly?" He laughs
"Why you laughing asshole?" I gave him a glare
"How old are you again?" He asked out of nowhere
"I'm 17" but I dumbly answered
"Why do you still have that?" He pointed to Grizzly with his lips
"I have him since I was a baby, he is a price possession" I hugged Grizzly tightly in my arms
"That's maybe why you get along with my sister, you both have the same mental age" he laughs again
"If you're just going to insult me and Grizzly, you can go back downstairs with your Transformers"

"I'm not insulting you really, It's actually a compliment" he smiles
"Compliment? How can that be a compliment?"
"Because you both are cute" his last words lingered in my ear like a Beethoven song, it made me blushed that I had to cover my face with a pillow to hide it from him "Are you blushing?" But he seemed to noticed
"No! Why would I?" I tried to relax to hide the redness on my face and for it to disappear
"You are!" He pulls the pillow out my face
"I'm not" Then I covered my face with my palm as the pillow was taken.
"oh my God!" He covers his face in amazement "You like me? I knew you like me but that much?"
"Excuse me! Don't be so full of yourself Batman" I stood up away from him
"Admit it you are!" He followed me and turning me to face him "Look at Me"
"No!" I walked around my room as he follows me
"Come on admit it, Cassie, you do like me" he's voice teasing
"Get out of my room Chace!"
"No! Until you tell me the truth"
"What truth?" I tried to divert the conversation
"That you like me" he catches my hand and pulls me towards him, me landing on his chest, his hard chest.
Shit!
"Admit it Cassie" he said with a serious voice, I couldn't care to say or move away from his grip. He makes his breath linger on my face. "You're so cute when your nervous, I haven't seen this side of you this much. Am I the only one who makes you nervous?" He's voice teasing in a seductive way
Oh my god! Compose yourself, breath Cassie! Breath!
He tucks a loose hair on my bun at the back of my ear. "You-are-so-beautiful" he whispers, his breath touches my neck as he breath
"Shit!" I muttered in a very low voice
A bird smashed its head on my window glass that made me get back to reality. I pushed Chace away with all that I can to the door and close it after him.
Oh God! How stupid of me.
***
My stomach was rumbling so I decided to went downstairs after sending a text message to my parents on how the day went. I was walking to the kitchen as the good smell of cooking entered my nostrils.
That smells so good!
"Who's cooking?" My eyes widen as the I thought of it
Did a burglar decided to stay for dinner?
I took an umbrella, hanging on the coat hanger. I hold on to it tightly as I entered the kitchen trying to not let the burglar caught me sneaking. I entered the kitchen and saw Chace cooking.
"What are you doing?" I asked laying the umbrella down, he has a whole spoon on hand tasting the dish he was cooking.
"Oh Hi!" He cleans his hand on the red apron he has on "I thought you could be hungry so I decided to cook you dinner, wanna taste it?"
"Aren't your mom looking for you by now?"
"Nah! She already knows I'm here, she stopped by earlier and ask if your okay" he stirs on the pan
"Oh"
"You hungry already? Just a sec and this will be done"
"I'm not really hungry" I said shaking my head, then my stomach betrayed me for it rumbled loudly
"I think not!" He turned the stove off and led me to the dining table, 2 plates are already set.
"I didn't know you know how to cook"
"There are still a lot of things you don't know about me Cathy" he winks, taking his apron off and putting the cooked food on a bowl for serving. He puts one on my side and other on his. It absolutely smelled like heaven. "Go on! Tell me if it's any good. Though I already know that it's perfect"
"Don't be too confident Batman" I took a spoon of the food to taste it, I couldn't help but moan in its delicious taste
"You have the sexiest moan that I have ever heard" he turned it in an innuendo
"Shut up!" I grab another spoon "But I'll admit, it does taste good as it smells" I smiled
"I know!" He too was eating
"Where did you learn to cook like this" I didn't realize that I had a smudge on my side lips
"You have a- ahm" he pointed on my face
"What?" I asked
"Something on your face"
"Really?" I wiped the side of the wrong lip "Is it gone?"
"Let me" he leaned in to wipe the smudge on my side lip with his thumb "There" he sat back and licked the smudge on his thumb
He does it so sexy
"Th-thank you"
"You're Welcome Cathy!" he winks and went back to his food
Damn! He makes me weak

Blue Hills
Nothing had ever felt quite right for Alexander Adamson. He'd worked his way up to a job he could tolerate, a few casual friends, and even a nice little apartment that he could call his own, though it really wasn't. The problem was that none of it was satisfying. It was as though he were going through the motions of a life, rather than having one of his own. Of course, it didn't exactly feel right when he woke up in a strange bed in the middle of nowhere. Nor when he was told that he was now the proud owner and operator of a local farm. A farm that had belonged to a late uncle he'd never known. But with the first train out of town a full 'season' away, he had plenty of time to get used to the idea. Plenty of time, perhaps, to even get to like the strange little town of Blue Hills. I have a discord now. Marvel at my ability to somehow still be antisocial on the other side of a screen! Back from hiatus along with my other fiction. Chapters are on a Thurs/Sun schedule until book 3 of that fiction is completed, at which point I'll be updating this daily. At which point uh.... I dunno what I'm going to do.

Apex Immortal: a LitRPG system rampage
"Across the multiverse where the contest for power is the only constant, only a handful have succeeded in reaching the ultimate heights of ascendency and gained the title Apex Immortal. Dominus is one of them, unsurpassed in overwhelming violence, feared across universes. Now, memories locked and stranded far away from everything he’d built, Dominus will face enemies that will challenge even his powers and discover that change is more difficult than destruction." I’ve been writing fiction on and off for the last decade and I’ve always wondered how a peak immortal (or an OP superhero) would single handedly conquer a world that mirrors our own in all of its complexity. As a politics nerd, this is my attempt at answering that question using Machiavelli’s “The Prince” as the primary playbook. The “monsters” are entire political systems with entrenched culture. Expect many versions of real world political systems (and cultures) to be on the hit list. The MC has to successfully institute regime and cultural change without engaging in wholesale genocide and causing the state to fail. Expect things to go wrong pretty quickly as escalating and cascading political and economic effects rapidly go out of control. Methods deployed are not for the faint hearted.
