Chapter 29- The Bad Boy Likes Trouble

Today was going to be a good day. I could feel it. I don't know why but I just had this excitement I just could not ignore. Perhaps it was because it was now Friday and I would be "staying with Olivia" as far as my parents knew but in reality I would be spending the weekend away, with Brody, my Boyfriend.

Saying or thinking that never gets old. Plus, it was true. I was his and he was mine. And this weekend I had a feeling that we would be connecting on a whole different level if you get me. I had spent the majority of the week, and night thinking this through, and I wasn't exactly what I was expecting to happen, but whatever it is I had a feeling it was going to change things, permanently.

After my night with Brody a few days ago I just couldn't get him and his shirtless body out of my mind. Or the position we were in the next morning. I first I found it a little awkward that we were spooning but the longer I lied there the more I noticed it didn't really bother me. In fact, it was kind of...nice.

I felt so safe with Brody's arms wrapped around me that I didn't want to move for fear of him waking up and moving. I laid there for an hour that way until he finally woke. What made it even better was that there was no not awkwardness between us. He acted as if it were the most normal thing in the world for me to wake up in his arms and I'll say this much; I wouldn't mind doing it again. I suppose if things keep going like they have between him and his dad that just might happen.

I still wasn't one hundred percent sure what that was yet, but I'm working on finding out. I just feel like he's not ready to discuss it yet. But I'll be here when he is. He's going to need someone to talk to. I just hope he trusts me enough to do that.

As I stand outside my house waiting for Grace to pick me up, I decide to pass the time by listing to some of Adele's greatest hits. Yet another artist I could never grow tired of. She had some excellent music. I've already listened to this same track four times just this morning.

The scars of your love remind me of us

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all

The scars of your love, they leave me breathless

I can't help feeling

We could have had it all

Rolling in the deep....

I sing along loudly as the music blasts through the ear phones. Thank goodness our neighbors weren't outside today. I'm sure I would die of embarrassment if they were.

Then I feel a tap on my shoulder. Oh sweet chocolate bar please only be Heather or my parents. As I turn to face the person, I realize I had no such luck.

Mia was standing next to me with a big grin across her face. I blush pulling the ear phones out and look at her in embarrassment.

"Oh...hi Mia, I didn't see you there."

How did she get across the street without me seeing her? I suppose it could have been when I had my eyes closed pretending I was performing my own concert. Curse me for being in my own little world.

"I didn't mean to bother you." She Chuckles. "I was just wondering if you were able to figure out the last problem on our math homework last night."

Oh right, the homework.

"Yeah, I have it right here." I smile pulling it from my bag.

"Thank you Farrah. You're a life saver." She says appreciatively.

Aw she's so sweet. She didn't have to thank me.

"No problem."

After she copies down my answer, she hands the paper back to me and closes her book. I hate to admit this, but I didn't even know she was in my math class. I was not a particularly attentive person.

"Oh, there's my ride." I announce when the sound of Grace's car pulls into my drive. "I guess I'll catch you later then?"

"Sure." She smiles as I began to walk away.

"Oh wait." She shouts before I'm able to reach the car.

She immediately blushes as I turn to face her.

"D-do you know um...Kyle?"

Kyle? As in Brody's friend Kyle?"

"Brody's friend." She added.

"Um...yeah." I say a bit slowly unsure of where she's going with this.

"Well do you know if h-he's...single?" She stutters.

I immediately grin at her flushed face when I realize what's going on here. It's so cute. She has a crush on Kyle. Oh they would make such a lovely couple. I could see it all now.

"I think so. Want me ask him for you?"

A panicked look instantly took over her face at my words. Oh no. did I say something wrong?

"No!" She shouts only to realize her sudden outburst. "I-I mean no. No, uh... I was just curious."

Aw. She was afraid I was going to tell him about her secret crush. Perhaps I'll have a talk with him at lunch today with her knowing. Besides, he might just feel the same way about her. You never know if you don't try.

"Oh, okay then." I smile. "If you change your mind let me know."

She gives a small smile before I close the rest of the distance between me and the car and get inside. Grace is to busy texting away on her phone even notice I'd entered the vehicle. Hmm...I wonder whom she's talking to, the mystery guy perhaps?

I still hadn't gotten up the courage to ask her about Hunter yet. I wasn't quite sure I wanted to know or if she'd tell me. I'm still thinking that one over. Although, I do suppose I'll have to ask her soon before my mind goes crazy with wonder.

When she lets out a small giggle, I can't help but raise an eyebrow to her in suspicion.

"Something funny?"

Her head instantly snaps in my direction with no hint of humor on it anymore. Instead, she looks a bit worrisome.

"Oh um... I was just reading the..."

The what?

She looks around in panic for a quick second before answering.

"Weather."

"Weather?" I repeat trying not to laugh.

Yes, because people often find the weather humorous.

"So, school?" She says changing the subject and pulling out of my drive.

I wanted to tease her more about it, but I had a feeling she wouldn't like that very much. Plus she'll tell me when she's ready. I think. If not I'll just find out on my own.

Once we arrived, Grace wasted no time getting out of the car which was odd for her. She normally liked to hang out until the warning bell rang, but today was a totally different story. Yep, she was clearly up to something.

Well there's no need for me to sit in here alone, I might as well go look for Brody. Maybe I could get him to reveal some of what he had planned for this weekend.

As luck would have it, Brody was one of the first people I saw when I entered school. He was leaning up against the wall to my right with Jake and Kyle standing with him. I guess Thomas was with Olivia since he brought her this morning.

They looked as if they were sharing a joke because they were all laughing in unison at something. Though I didn't want to know especially if they were anything like the last jokes Kyle shared.

As I begin to approach them, Brody instantly notices me and pushes himself off the wall to meet me half way. I couldn't keep the goofy grin off my face at getting to see him again, one of the best things about attending school.

"Hey." He smiles wrapping his arms around me when he reaches me.

I take this opportunity to greet him properly with a soft kiss on his lips. "Hey."

"Now that's a greeting." He smirks.

"Yes it is."I agree.

"When are you going to start letting me drive you to school?" He asks while running his hands up and down my back.

Anytime he wants me to. I wouldn't object to that. I just hope Olivia and Grace understand. Wait, what am I thinking? Of course, they will. They both have boyfriends now, and Olivia has ridden with Thomas all week.

"When do you want to?"

"Tomorrow and all they days after that." He replies.

"Ok." I nod while my stomach fills up with butterflies.

I love that he wants to spend so much time with me. I'm glad it's not one sided as it was in the last days of mine and Blake's relationship.

He was much happier spending his time with Megan. It's shocking at how much that thought doesn't bother me anymore. I think I'm finally able to let it go now and to be honest it's such a relief. I feel as if I am finally letting go of the past and it can't hurt me anymore. Not when I have so much to look forward to in the future.

"What time are we leaving today?"

"Right after school." He answers. "We'll get there at just about dark."

Dark? Exactly how far away are we going? Well in all fairness with the time change and all dark is around six o'clock now, but still, that still leaves room for more than a two hour drive.

"Won't you please tell me where we're going?" I beg giving him my best puppy dog face.

"You'll see when we arrive." He chuckles not giving in for a minute.

Well shoot.

And that would be the bell. Has it been ten minutes already? I hope the rest of the day passes quickly, but I'm sure it won't since I'm particularly anxious for it to be over. Oh school, why must you always get in the way?

First period was spent finishing The Outsiders book and Mrs. White said that she would have us a new book to read come Monday. I was very much looking forward to finding out what it was. I hope it's another classic.

Once second period rolled around it was much slower than the first with Mr. Lawson going on about Solid-state physics. However, Brody made it more eventful with his little inappropriate texts he kept sending me. Luckily our teacher was too caught up in his lesson to notice us or else I'm sure that would have earned us a one way ticket to detention. Somewhere Brody is all too familiar with...or was.

The truth is since Brody and I had started dating, he hadn't been there once. Now I'm not saying I had any influence on that, but it just seems a little coincidental, that's all.

After class finally ends Brody and I both go to our lockers to put away our things for lunch. I'm glad it was finally that time to because I for one was hungry. But then again, I was always hungry it seemed like.

Yeah, hungry for some Brody.

Oops. There go those thoughts again! Ever since that night he spent with me, I can't keep him out of my mind. Not that I could before but now it's much worse. No matter what I'm doing, or where I'm at, he evades my mind and distracts me from every thought.

"Thinking hard?" A husky voice says in my ear.

"About you." I grin.

Brody's arms wrap around my waist pulling my back against his chest, and I let me head just rest against him.

With his chin on my shoulder and hot breath on my neck, he speaks.

"I want to take you somewhere."

"I thought you were already taking me somewhere." I joke.

"I meant now." He replies.

I'd go anywhere with you.

"Where?"

Without revealing anything, he lets go of me and gently grabs my hand leading me down the hallway. Most of our peers and already cleared out of the hall for lunch but there were still a few lingering around for various reasons. Luckily none of them seemed to notice Brody pulling me into the dark empty library.

Everyone knew that the library was closed during lunch so anyone seeing us enter might start up any kid of rumor and I hated those. Not that I care I was seen with Brody, but I didn't want to be the hot topic today or any day for that matter.

"How can even see how to walk?" I ask as he continues pulling me along.

The last thing I needed was to run into something and have a red mark on my forehead. That would not be pretty.

"I have night vision." He jokes.

Why do I have a feeling he's done this before?

No. No, I'm just being silly. He wouldn't take me somewhere he has been with another girl before. He's better than that, right?

"This would be much easier if we could turn on a light or something." I state.

"But that takes all the fun out of it." He teases. "Plus if the lights were on we would get caught."

Well that's true. If only I weren't so accident prone this would be a much better experience.

"We're almost there." He says as my shoulder bumps with the end of a book case.

Ouch.

If only our library wasn't the center of our school we might have some windows to shed some light in here.

"Now." He says pulling me to a stop and lightly pushing me against the shelf. "No one can interrupt us."

My heart starts to pound at his words, and I didn't know why. As many times as we'd been alone there was no need for me to be feeling like this. We'd made out plenty of times. If this were my first time kiss him I might under-

All thoughts were cut off by the warmth of Brody's lips on mine, and it takes me a moment to overcome the initial surprise of it all. I mean I know that's what he brought me here for, but I guess I just expected a little forewarning first.

He lightly nibbles on my bottom lip causing my whole body to tingle in delight. I slowly lift my arms to wrap around his neck and pull him impossibly closer to me in turn making him bring his arms around my waist.

I lightly open my lips inviting him in and he wastes no time accepting the invitation. Out tongues meet, and more tingles erupt.

Oh what this boy does to me.

With him intimately rubbing soft circles on my back it sends my hormones into overdrive. I wanted more. I craved more. If only we were alone. What I wouldn't give to be somewhere else.

"....yes. I believe it's the fifth row down on your right."

My eyes instantly shot open at the sound of someone's voice closing in on our location.

Oh crap when did the lights come on? Stupid me for closing my eyes, I got way to lost in the moment. And wasn't everyone supposed to be at lunch right now?

Brody and I quickly broke apart, and I did the only thing I knew to do. I grabbed Brody by the shirt and pulled him to the end of one of the isles blocking us from being seen by anyone. We were both still catching our breath when the person who earlier spoke entered the isle we were in.

I silently prayed he wouldn't walk to the end and see us there. From what I could tell it sounded much like a teacher's voice and a teacher could easily give us detention for being in here when the library is closed.

Oh what have I gotten myself into? I've never had detention in my whole life. I can't start now.

"Ah here it is." He mumbles and sound like removing the book from the shelf.

His retreating footsteps cause me to let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. Oh gosh that was close. What was Brody thinking bringing me here?

But then again it was kind of...hot we almost got caught. I feel so bad. Like a good bad. I wouldn't mind doing that again.

With that thought, I gave Brody a mischievous grin and pulled him back down to my lips obviously catching him by surprise.

"Whoa." He says backing away from me. "You mean after that you still want to do this?"

"Is that a problem?" I tease raising an eyebrow to him.

"Problem?" He says a bit taken back. "No, no problem I just thought-"

"Eh. Thinking is overrated." I shrug. "And I'd rather not."

He gives me a very pleased look at my response and grins big enough for it to cover his whole face. He brings his arms around me once again and lowers his lips to my ear in a intensely intimate way that makes me go week.

"I think I like this side of you. It's much more daring."

Before I know what's happening I am consumed by his kiss again but with something much more exciting behind it. I felt so free and alive. For once I was feeling as if nothing was weighing me down. I needed more of this feeling.

Brody's hands gently travel up the bottom of my shirt before meeting with my skin. The soft circles he was rubbing with his thumb releases a moan from inside of me, which only seemed to encourage him further. I lightly gasp when his hand travels up my skin a little further and he takes this moment to slip his tongue into my mouth.

I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm at school, in the library making out with my boy friend when I shouldn't even be in here. This is just so rebellious of me. I never done anything remotely like this, ever!

Everything was perfect, until...the growl of my stomach happens. I don't care what kind of moment you're in when someone's stomach growls you have to laugh. Or maybe that's just me.

When I do the moment is totally ruined, but I feel better seeing Brody laughing, as well. Well I'm sure my attractiveness severally decreased by that.

"Come on, you need to eat." He says pulling me along still laughing at my embarrassment.

"No, really, it's fine." I protest in hopes that he'd like to stay.

He quickly shakes his head at me in amusement. "We will have plenty of time for that this weekend. I'm not starving my girlfriend."

I get a warm feeling inside at hearing him call me his girlfriend. It seemed to roll off his tongue so easily.

"Fine." I grin. "If we must."

"We must." He confirms and with that we were sneaking back out of the library and headed towards the cafeteria.

Well I suppose I could eat something. I hope they have that Lasagna thing again. That was pretty good, for school food.

After finishing off the rest of my food I decide to join in on the conversations going on around me, now that I'm not consumed by my hunger. Olivia and Sarah were talking about the party at Jake's this weekend, which I would not be attending. And Thomas, Jake and Kyle were talking about some girl Kyle was "checking out." This reminds me....

I smile sweetly as I look over in their direction. "Still no girlfriend Kyle?"

When the conversation dropped he looked my direction with a smirk on his face.

"Nope, still waiting on you." He winks.

This became all to hilarious when all three Jake, Thomas, and Brody slap him on the back of the head.

"What the hell guys?" He says rubbing the back of it. "It was just a joke."

That boy just doesn't know when to stop, does he?

"Maybe." He adds.

When he notices Brody's warning look he immediately holds up his hands in defense. "Again, joking."

This might have been believable if he hadn't winked at me afterwards. However, Brody didn't notice that. I knew Kyle never meant anything by it, but he certainly pushes Brody's buttons every time he does this, which was pretty often. In fact, it was just yesterday....oh and the day before that.

"Well I actually had someone in mind for you, but since you can't seem to keep your comments to yourself I'll-"

"Who!" He anxiously interrupts.

Yes! I've got him interested.

"Oh, just someone who really sweet and not to mention pretty, she's actually quite smitten with you." I say casually.

"Well what's her name?" He asks.

"Don't get your hopes up man. It could be someone you've already been with if you know what I mean." Jake jokes.

"Oh he hasn't." I smirk while playing with what left of my food.

"And how would you know?" He questions.

"I just do." I say.

I can tell that prolonging the answer to his questions was starting to get to him. I can't wait to see his reaction when finds out whom she is. He'd be crazy not to like her.

"Then tell me." He says.

Ok. I guess he's waited long enough now.

"It's Mia Bradshaw."

"Mia?" He confused. "You mean the Mia Bradshaw that's in my P.E class?"

Are you serious, Kyle? Is there more?

"Do you know another?" I ask.

"Hey, you know she's kind of cute." Jake says nudging his arm. "There must be something wrong with her if she likes you though."

That was enough to earn him a punch in the arm from Kyle.

"Shut up man. I'm not the one who hooked up with the weird girl from science."

"Hey, I was drunk!" Jake half yells.

"You weren't the next morning when I heard you going back for seconds." Kyle smirks.

Immediately Jake looked disgusted. "You were outside my room?"

"NO!" He defends. "I was walking by your room when I heard "miss dark force" screaming your name at the top of her lungs."

"Don't call her that!" He warns.

By this point, they had successfully gained all of our tables and most of the ones surrounding ours attention. No one could keep from laughing at the display these two were putting on. Not even me.

I'm not sure how my simple statement lead to all of this but it was sure worth saying it. They were clearly providing entertainment for most of the school. Well except Tara aka "miss dark force"- She looked pretty upset that half the school knew about their secret escapade.

During the midst of their arguing the ball rang sending most of everyone flooding out of the cafeteria including Kyle and Jake. However, I had a feeling Jake was leaving for a different reason. The fact that he followed after Tara was a pretty good hint.

Why do I suddenly get the feeling they had a lot more than a one night stand? He certainly jumped to her defense pretty quickly just a moment ago at Kyle's Goth Joke. If I were him, I don't think I'd want to mess with, Tara.

One time I witnessed her bring down a guy with only her knee. While I thought it was pretty awesome he sure didn't seem to think so what with the pained look in his eyes when he went down and all. I don't recall seeing him back at school since then either.

I probably would have felt sorry for him, had he been a decent guy, but no, he was a bit of a jerk, so I can't say he didn't deserve it. I still never figured out what it was about though. I wonder if Jake knows.

"Just look at the trouble you've caused." Brody teases pulling me from my reverie. "First the library, now this? I think you just might be trouble Miss. Bryant."

"Is that a compliment?" I grin.

"The best kind." He confirms throwing his arm around my shoulders as we exit. "I like trouble."

That I guarantee. Maybe I'll see what kind of trouble I can stir up this weekend.

As the end of the day rolls around I am standing with Grace outside her car while waiting for Brody. He hadn't made it out of the school yet, so I was merely passing time. Well not really because I was being ignored due to something on her phone being so much more entertaining than me, but you get it.

"Something seems to be holding your attention this evening."I tease. "I take it the weather is interesting again?"

"Uh huh." She nods not breaking her attention from the phone.

"I hope the weather in nice for the Jakes party Saturday."

"Uh huh."

"You going?"

"Uh huh."

This time I furrowed up my eyebrows at her. Why do I get the feeling she's not paying attention to me? Let's just see.

"Yeah, me to." I nod. "I thought I'd give the entire football team lap dances."

"Sounds like fun."

You have to be kidding me.

"Then I might hook up with one of them." I add.

Maybe that will get her attention.

"Cool."

Or maybe not.

"Grace!" I shout. "You're not even listening to me."

That quickly pulls her from her trance enough to look at me with a guilty expression quite evident on her face.

"I'm sorry." She apologizes. "It didn't mean to."

"Sure." I joke.

"No, really. It' just that...I met this guy and he is sort of...great."

My eyes widen at her confession. So there is a guy. I knew it! But wait...does this mean it's Hunter after all? I mean it makes sense, right? Let's look at the facts shall we.

For one, Grace is seeing this mysterious guy and is missing all the time while at the same time, I'm not seeing Hunter either. And two, a car exactly like hers was parked outside of his house a few days ago and she didn't answer my call.

Coincidence, I think not.

"Really?" I fake surprise. "Who is this mystery guy?"

She immediately gets a panicked look in her eyes before answering.

"Oh uh...he's just a guy. I-I'm not ready to tell anyone about us yet."

It is him. It has to be. But I can't pressure her into telling me. It wouldn't be exceptionally nice. Maybe, if, I don't push it, she'll tell me on her own soon.

"Ok." I nod. "I understand. Just tell me when you're ready."

I could see relief wash over her as she breathed out. "Thank you, Farrah."

"Of course." I smile. "What are friends for?"

She smiles back but then looks past me at something behind me and nods.

"I think someone is waiting for you." She points.

At that moment, I turn to see Brody leaning against his car staring our direction waiting patiently for me. Gosh he looks so hot doing that. Well he actually looks hot doing anything, even doing nothing.

"Yeah. I guess I should go. I just need to get my bag from your car." I say looking back in her direction.

"Oh let me get that." She says opening the door and pulling it out.

I smile appreciatively as she hands it off to me, but she merely just wears a smirk.

"What?" I ask.

"Didn't I hear something about football players and lap dances?"

My face heats up instantly at that.

"Oh that. It was just joke and- Hey! I thought you weren't listening?"

"Have a good trip." She grins turning to walk away as if I hadn't said anything.

That sneaky, sneaky girl. I have to admit, she's good.

"Need a hand with that?" Brody's voice says from behind me as he takes the bag.

Without waiting for a response, he heads towards his car with my hand in his then throwing the bag in the back.

"We have to get going if we're gonna make it before dark."

"Right." I nod.

I forgot we had a bit of a ride ahead of us. Well at least soon I'd know where we were going. It must be somewhere quite special if he's not giving up anything.

When we both get inside the car Brody starts it and pulls onto the road and begins our journey to the unknown. Well for me anyway. He already knew. Either way I was growing more excited by the minute and couldn't wait to get there.

I felt a slight nudge at my shoulder but simply brushed it off. I was much too comfortable to let it bother me.

Nudge.

Nope. I don't care.

Nudge.

Okay so maybe it's getting a little old.

Nudge.

Oh give it up already! I just want to sleep!

But what came next was not another nudge. Instead it was wet lips, and hot breath on my neck causing me to become alert. I'm up!

I turn my head and meet with Brody's eyes staring back at me with a smirk on his face. Oh what a sexy smirk it is.

"Have a nice dream?"He asks.

"And awakening," I add.

Wait isn't he supposed to be driving?

"We're here."

"And where is here?" I ask sitting up and peering out the window.

My breath is taken away by the sight before me, and I become speechless. He brought me to a beach house, a large Beautiful beach for a whole weekend with him. He certainly did go all out, didn't he?

"My house." He answers.

"You mean your parents house." I correct.

"No." He shakes his head. "My house. After high school."
