My Ex Bad Boy Best Friend (NOT EDITED) | ✓

Chapter 37- "Happy Thanksgiving"

He put his hands up and tried to block me.

I grabbed a broom and smacked him and he fell to the ground and put his hands above him to block himself and he repeated "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Tatum" A familiar voice said.

Luke ran up and grabbed the broom from me and asked "What are you doing"?!

"This guy was hitting on me" I said.

He narrowed his eyes at me "Every guy that sees you, hits on you".

I rolled my eyes "Not true"!

"Oh really"? He asked as we walked away "Ask River, he'll tell you".

"I'm going to ignore you" I said as I walked ahead.

"Tatum!"

"La la la la la la la la la la la la la" I said as I put my hand over my ears.

He caught up to my and grabbed my hands and rolled his eyes.

"I have to check out" I said "See you later. And go see Beth" I winked.

He rolled his eyes and called "Go see River"!

I flipped him off and walked away.

***************************************

I sat in my room as I heard everyone talking downstairs.

I sat up against my headboard of my bed.

Everyone from my family and other people were here.

"Hey" A soft voice said and there was a knock at my door.

I turned my head and saw River.

I smiled "Hey".

He walked in and sat down next to me.

"What's wrong"? He asked concerned.

I sighed "Nothing".

"Don't lie to me, Green-eyes" He said.

I smiled at the nickname and looked at him.

"It's just- Well it's just weird not seeing my dad on Thanksgiving. I mean the holiday is partly about family" I said.

He tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear "I know the feeling".

I bit my lip.

He placed his forehead to mine "Damn it Tatum. Don't do that to me"!

"Do what"? I asked.

"Bite your lip".

"Why not"? I asked.

He smirked "Because I want to do that for you".

I smacked his chest "Glad to know your ego hasn't deflated".

He smirked "Babe it'll never deflate as long as I'm around you".

I looked down and the corner of my lips tugged into a smile and blush crept onto my cheek.

He whispered "Your grandfather's coming" and stood up and looked at my bookshelf and my grandfather walked in.

I got up and hugged him and smiled "Hey gramps"!

"Hey Tatum" He said and hugged me.

I pulled away.

"Hey River" He acknowledged.

"Hey Mr-" River started.

"Florence, son" He said.

"Florence" River nodded.
