To Love A Badboy

Chapter One

He's kissing me. Xavier Reed is Kissing me. It's not at all how I imagined it. It's so much better. He's kissing me with so much passion, it's as if I'm drowning in it. And I love every second of it. I can't recall what led to this, but right now I don't even care. He has one hand on my waist and the other is tangled in my curly hair. I feel as if he is consuming me, and I don't want him to stop. I don't know what's come over me considering I've never been kissed before, but I pray it doesn't let me go any time soon. Slowly he starts to pull back and I began to protest.
"You need to breath" he chuckles at me slightly. It wasn't until he said something about it that I realized I was gasping for air. I blush and thank the heavens for the lack of light and my mocha skin. We just sit there for a while, him holding me to his chest while I listen to his heartbeat. I look up at him to find him already looking at me. I blush and try to look away but he grabs my chin between his index finger and thumb.
"You are so beautiful Jade. I just want to hold you forever" he whispers against my lips.
His words cause me to blush even more.
"I want you to hold me forever", I mummer back before he captures my lips in another heated kiss. This time I kiss him back with just as much passion as he gives me. My head swims with excitement and lust. Just as I'm about to completely lose myself in him, he pulls back again.
"What now", I snap in frustration, which surprised me because I've never snapped at anyone.
"Someone has a temper", he says mockingly with his signature smirk. Even though I know he's joking I still feel bad and embarrassed. Xavier must notice the change in my mood. He grasp my hand and looks me in the eyes and says "hey, there was something I wanted to ask you"
"Go ahead and ask",I say nervously.
He clears his throat " I was wandering if you would ...."
"If I would what"
He opens his mouth and says " *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep*"
I stare at him in confusion before the beeping continues and I wake up and realize that it's my alarm that is going off.
I cut my alarm off and get up to get ready for school. Another dream about Xavier, that make four so far this week and it's only Wednesday. I grab a towel and head into my bathroom which is thankfully in my room so I don't have to face my family with the blush I know is on my face. Once in the bathroom I grab my favorite cherry blossom body wash and take a shower. Ten minutes later I'm in a towel standing inside my walk-in closet trying to decide on what to wear, while also keeping my mind off the dream I had. In the end I settle on a blue almost green skirt, a plain white long sleeved shirt, black thigh highs, black short heels, and I tie it together with a white scarf with a black pattern, black, white and silver bangles and some red lipstick. I decide to leave my hair so it'll have my natural curls today. I check myself over in my mirror, then I head out my room to have breakfast. I go downstairs and see my mom finishing up the food while my dad plays with my little 5 year old brother Samuel. I walk into the kitchen and kiss my mom on the cheek.
"Good morning mama, smells delicious, what are you making"
"Morning baby, and it's only pancakes, bacon, and eggs"
"Mama can I have chocolate chips on my pancake please" my little brother begs. Mama gives him a look that says no, so he pouts.
"Sammy" I say, "it's not good manners to pout". He sticks his tongue out at me, dad and I chuckle at him.
"Good morning daddy, since Sammy is pouting how about he stay home with me and study this weekend when you and mama go and visit grandpa and grandma"
"Okay, I won't pout anymore I promise, grandma makes the best cookies, please don't make me stay" Sammy shouts before dad can answer.
"Oh, alright but you have to stay on your best behavior" dad says in a fake stern voice.
"Alright, I promise"
"Okay, settle down you three, breakfast is done" mama says " and Jade honey speaking of this weekend are you sure you wanna stay here all by yourself, I mean we leave Thursday night and won't get home until late afternoon on Monday"
"Mama I'll be fine, though I do want to go but I'll have to study the whole time so it won't be much fun, plus you know I'm easily distracted"
"But Jay I'll miss you" says Sammy.
"How about if we have a movie day tomorrow until you have to leave, me ,you and mama"
"But what about daddy Jay"
"Sammy you know daddy has to work" says mama.
"Oh yeah"
"How about I work from home Sammy, will that make you feel better"
"You mean it dad"
"Yeah" see my dad is a lawyer, and a really good one at that.
We finish up breakfast in no time. Dad gives each of us a kiss on the head and mom gets an extra on the mouth before he head off to the office. Sammy goes to his room to play before school, I decide to help my mom with the dishes before I head out.
"So what do you have planned for today mama"
"Well after I drop Samuel off at school I'll go to the grocery store to stock up for you this weekend, then I'll come home and finish packing, then I'll set up for my book club. Nothing too spectacular "
"I can't believe Sammy started kindergarten without any kind of fuss, he really mature for his age, most of the time"
"Yeah, he's my little man"
"Mama?"
"Yeah, baby"
"Don't you miss working with dad"
"I miss working period, but I'd rather be home with you guys than in an office most of the day, why"
"No reason, just asking" which is a lie. Sometimes I find myself feeling guilty that she gave up her career so she could be home with me, but she seems happy and I guess that's all that matters.
"Alright then, I'll finish this up you go on and head to school so you won't be late.
I nod and head to my room to get my bag, then out the door to my black BMW 328i. Once in my car with nothing to distract me I'm hit with images of the dreams I've been having lately and I groan in embarrassment. Oh well there's nothing I can do about it. I pull out the driveway and drive the 25 minutes to school. Once there I park and head to my locker and grab my books for my first three classes: Math, English and Spanish. As I'm getting my books someone smacks my butt, I know it's my best friend Jasmine.
"Jazz if you keep doing that I'm going to have to question your sexuality" I say with a small sigh.
"It doesn't matter if I was a lesbian, you would still be stuck with me, and besides you love me" she says and sticks her tongue out at me.
"I can't believe your seventeen, when you act so much like Sammy"
"Sammy is the coolest dude around so I'll take that as a compliment"
Just as I'm going to reply the first bell rings
"Come on let's get to class, you know how Mrs. Snider gets about tardiness"
"Yeah she turns into the wicked witch of theorems" she shudders.
" It's not really that hard"
"You would say that you four eyed freak"
"I don't even wear glasses" I laugh.
"Yeah but the nerd that lives in your head does"
"Remind me again why I'm friends with you"
"Because I'm super awesome, plus I'm the only one who can put up with your kind"
"My kind?" I ask as we reach our maths class.
"Yeah, goddess of holiness"
"That's not true" I say as we take our seat "remember that one time I dropped that paper on the ground"
"You dropped it on accident and the only reason you didn't pick it up was because the wind blew it away, plus you nearly cried about it"she laughs.
"It still counts Jazz" I huff.
"If you say so princess" she snickers.
As I open my mouth to reply the finale bell rings, and Mrs. Snider starts to teach. I zone out and still manage to take notes. As I stare blankly at my notes I can't help but think of Xavier, considering we have the same English class. I wish I could talk to Jazz about it but I've never been able to tell her about my crush. Before I know it class is over, I start to collect my things.
"Jay, are you okay?" Jazz asks.
"Yeah, why do you ask"
"You got this distant look in your eyes and your face is flush"
"Oh, yeah i-I'm fine, I just got a little hot is all" I stammer.
"Mrs. Snider never does allow the windows to be open"
"Exactly, come on let's go"
"It sucks that we both have English next but different teachers" she whines like she always does.
"I know but you have that guy Dean you've had a crush on since freshman year in your class"
"Shush, don't be so loud" she blushes and looks around " but yeah your right, it's to bad you don't have any one you like in your class"
"Unlike you I don't need a cute guy to stare at to go to class"
"Whatever, alright I'll see you in gym" she says as we reach her class.
"See you later Jazz" we hug and I walk off. As I get closer to my class I get nervous. Why are you nervous he doesn't even notice you, calm down Jade. I walk into the room and look around and let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding. Whoo he's not here yet which means I can blend in a watch him from a far, not that that's creepy at all. I take my seat in the last row by the window and start to doodle. The bell rings and I look around for Xavier. He's not here. Mr. Du'Pree starts so teach and I wonder where Xavier is. Twenty minutes into class the door opens and in walk Xavier. He wearing a white v-neck t-shirt, black vans, black jeans, and his signature leather jacket. His black hair is styled back with a little left hanging in his face. I can't take my eyes off him. While I'm staring I hear Mr. Du'Pree reprimanding him for being late, Xavier doesn't look fazed and starts walking in my direction and I start to panic. I look around to see people staring and also there are only two seats left one is dead center in the front row and the other is right next to me. He sits down next to me and Mr. Du'Pree sighs and continues on with the lesson.
"Alright class, so I told you all on Monday about the paired projects we are doing on the summer reading for Catcher in the Rye and any book of your choice, the packets that are going around is the assignment along with your direction. As for your partners, take a good look at the person next to you cause that's gonna be your partner. The last ten minutes is yours" Says Mr. Du'Pree.
Around the class there is a bunch off yes's and groans, while I'm dead silent. On the inside I'm freaking out I'm torn between excitement and dread. Excitement because I'm practically obsessed and dread because I don't want him to find out how obsessed I am. As I sit and ponder my situation I realize that Xavier didn't even seem affected at all. Tentatively I turn to look at him and see that he has his earbuds in and his eyes close. I take the opportunity to stare at him up close. His face could rival a God's, he has a strong jaw line, his lips could only be described as kissable, his nose is a little crooked, probably from all the fights he has, he has long lashes that kiss his cheeks and eyebrows so perfect I think I'm jealous. I find myself staring at his lips again, when they turn up into a smirk my eyes snap up to his and find them open. I can feel my face flame up, I open my mouth to make an excuse but realize he still has his earbuds in. I gesture for him to take them out and lazily he complies.
"What" he says.
"Umm we are partners for the summer reading project" I say lowly.
"Okay"
I open my mouth to ask when and where he wants to meet up for the project but the bell cuts me off.
"See you around Jade" he says before leaving.
I sit there for a while to take in what just happened. He knows my name. Xavier Reed knows my my name. I'm so happy I didn't even notice that I had went to Spanish class until Ms. Delgado called on me.
"Señorita Swanson, would you mind reciting the first paragraph in íngles" ask Ms. Delgado.
I easily translate the paragraph, which seems to placate her, but I'm to busy trying to figure out how to approach Xavier in history which we happen to have together next period. Finally the bell rings and I go to my locker to exchange my books for my history book. I then head to history, I make it there right as the bell rings. I go to my seat and look around and see that Xavier isn't here yet. Maybe he'll come in late again. Mrs. Wilson takes attendance and starts her lecture on medieval times. With fifteen minutes of class left Xavier walks in with a smug look on his face. I become irrationally jealous when I see the lipstick on his shirt, I swear I see red for a brief second before I remind myself that he isn't my boyfriend and I have no claim to him. My earlier happiness is replaced with sadness as I watch him take a seat next to Sabrina the co- captain of the cheerleading team and they start flirting. Why would someone on his level choose someone as plain as me. I don't know how I fooled myself into thinking that something could happen between us because we got partnered up, the thought was fun while is lasted, I guess I'll have to continue to watch him from afar.
