Girl Next Door ✔️

Chapter 14

"When is your birthday?"

"1st February."

"How old are you, then?"

"18."

"Who was your last boyfriend?"

"Never had one."

"Are you serious?"

"Sweetie I don't do relationships. I just fuck them. No strings attached."

"First kiss?"

"I don't remember."

"At what age did you lose your virginity?"

"16, I think."

"Okay so--"

"Enough with the questions. Please." I snapped at all of them. Apparently, the twenty questions game got converted into a 'let's get to know Xandra better' game.

Everyone was silent on our table, except for Jessica and Brody. They were flirting with each other. At one point, Brody was about to eat a bit of Jessica's ice cream but she didn't let him. He pouted and gave her his puppy eyes look. And that seemed to work out, as Jessica fed him a spoon of her ice cream from her tub.

"That's my girl." Said Brody and Jessica smiled at him.

My girl. That was so cute.

"Believe me Xandra, it isn't cute. You'll get irritated by it." Jessica said, and I realized that I had said that out loud.

"But I find it very cute. I mean I always wanted someone who would call me that." I said, sighing dreamily.

One day, I with my significant other would be like Jessica and Brody. I'd be his girl and he'll be mine. When will my someone special come? The one who would treat me like a princess, no scratch that, a queen, his queen. Though, I'm not waiting for my prince charming. Who cares about them? I'm waiting for my bad boy. He wouldn't have to pick me up on a white horse, he would be the one who would rock my world with his badass attitude and his Cocky smile. I'll be his bad girl, he would bring out the wild side in me. When will he come?

God Xandra, you're so cheesy.

Get lost.

Where will I go then?

To hell.

Nah, that place is for you.

Shut up. Why do you always have to disturb me?

That's my duty.

Duty, my ass.

"You could be my girl anytime." Ryder's voice broke me from my trance. He wiggled his eyebrows and a stupid smirk made its way to his lips.

"Oh fuck off," I said jokingly. "I'd rather die instead," I added quickly.

"What do you want in your ideal partner then?" Cole asked, looking interested.

"Hmm, I want him to be dominant, possessive, though not controlling, caring, badass, funny and he should be awesome in bed," I said, counting all the points on my fingers.

"Well, I am a badass, I'm caring and funny. And I'd consider myself a dominant and a possessive guy. Oh, and I'm mind-blowing in bed." He said and smirked at me.

"Where exactly are you getting at?" I asked, confused.

"What I'm saying is I'm all you want in your partner and your not bad yourself. We could be a power couple you know." He said and wiggled his eyebrows.

Me? Not bad? Is he out of his mind?

"I knew you had a secret crush on me," I said, a smirk making its way on my lips.

"What if I do? Would you give me a chance?" He asked, his green eyes boring into my hazel ones. Everyone on the table was now listening to us.
I checked his face, searching for a hint that he was joking, but found none.

I was about to say something but couldn't as I heard a familiar voice calling my name from behind. I turned around and was surprised to see Travis and a brunette guy with him. The other guy was very handsome just like Cole. But I'd still prefer Cole over him. The other guy was different. And both of them were making their way towards our table.

As they were standing in front of us, I noticed the icy glare Jessica was giving to Travis, though her glare was nothing compared to the one Cole and the unknown guy were giving each other.

And I stood there, looking at all the commotion, awkwardly.

"I think it's time for us to go," I said and started tugging Cole's hand, as I moved forward. But Travis got a hold an of my other arm (the free one.) And stopped me from going any further.

"I wanted to talk to you," Travis stated, not letting go of my hand. I noticed that there were still many bruises on his face.

"Look, let me make one thing clear, I don't want to sleep with you. Get it?" I said, bluntly.

The other guy looked at me, very interested.

"N--" Travis started but Cole cut him off.

"Don't you understand? She doesn't want to talk or sleep with you. Let go of her arm." In a very cold voice, I might add.

"Why should I?" Travis asked, his hold on my hand tightening. I swear it would surely leave a bruise there. But I saw the brunette guy putting a hand on his Travis's shoulder and nodded. Travis left my arm instantly. And as soon as it was out of his grasp, I pulled my arm towards my chest, examining it.

It surely was red, my skin is very sensitive you know. I rubbed that area twice before concentrating back to the scene in front of me.

"Hey, I'm Antony Cage." Said the mystery guy, too, me. I think.

I looked around me just to make sure that he was talking to me. Everyone was looking at me, Cole, Travis or this Antony guy. Cole started tugging me towards the exit door.

"Let's go." He said, not wanting to cause any drama. All our friends followed behind us. I turned back once more, just to find both Travis and Antony smirking at me. I rolled my eyes and followed the group out.

What the fuck did just happen?

Once out of the ice cream parlor, Brody and Jessica left in Brody's car and Chase decided to drop Sam off to her house. Which left just the four of us, me, Ryder, Cole and Blake. Since I didn't bring my car, someone amongst them will have to drop me home.

"So, I'll see you guys tomorrow then." I started when none of them made a move to go to there car.

"Yeah, Bye." Said Blake, giving me a small smile. He is a very quiet person, he doesn't open up much.

"Bye Xandra," Ryder said, giving me a side hug.

"Could you drop me home, if you don't have a problem?" I asked Cole when the two left.

"Sure." He said it looked like he still is in a bad mood. I shouldn't irk him any further.

The ride to my house was very silent. None of us uttered a word. I mean, I was curious about today but looking at his mood, I decided I'd ask Ryder or Blake instead. And I even wanted to know that did Cole really have a crush on me? Just the thought of it gave me butterflies in the stomach.

God, since when did I become so girly?

A/N,

That's it for today. How was the chapter?

Hmm, I wonder what was the mystery behind this Antony guy?

And does Cole really have a crush on Xandra or is he playing with her?

Stay tuned to find out.
