"He's our ride." He shrugs.
"Where's your car?" I ask, trying to remain cool.
"Might I remind you, mum and dad dropped me off here, yesterday without any transport." He says as he greets Mr. Giraffe.
I sigh.
We make eye contact and nod at each other awkwardly.
Oh Lord, save me from this unfortunate situation.
As we got in the car and Ryder drove a little slower than usual, I tuned out their conversations about guy stuff I don't want to know.
My phone started ringing making me beam when I look at the screen.
"Hey Nick." I grin widely.
"Lili. What happened? I heard you got admitted into a hospital." He says.
"I'm fine. It was just a...little accident." I lie.
"Don't lie to me. I heard there was a shooting at a charity ball you went to." He says, sternly.
"Don't worry, I just got cut by some glass. I'm not even at the hospital anymore." I say feeling the gaze of two people on me but ignored them.
"You better not be lying to me. I can't believe I just found out. I should've known earlier-" I cut him off.
"It's okay. But, I need to...go." I say.
"Okay, I'll talk to you later. Bye Lils." He says.
"Bye, Nicky." I say, grinning.
"That's not my name!" He groans and hangs up.
I chuckle at him and look up to see two curious eyes on me.
"Eyes on the road, buddy." I mumble.
He lightly glares at me and I roll my eyes.
"Who is 'Nick'?" Kyle spat his name.
"Nick, is my hot bestfriend from England." I say.
Kyle narrows his eyes at me and the man that shall not be named, gripped the steering wheel tighter.
Jealous much?
"He's gay, by the way." I add.
The both of them let out a sigh of relief.
I roll my eyes at their actions.
I was getting bored so I decided to sleep.
-•-
"Lili! Help me! I'm drowning!" I heard Kyle shout while shaking me, disturbing my slumber.
"Good for you." I mumble. "Wait, what?!" I jolt awake.
Kyle was laughing his ass off and from the corner of my eye, I could see Ryder crack a smile.
Aww, my heart!
"Not funny." I glare at Kyle.
I got out of the car and as soon as I was on my two feet, all I could see were black dots, my head throbbed and I felt my body getting heavier.
I stumbled lightly before recovering my eyesight but my head still throbbed like a bitch.
Kyle rushed to my side.
"Shit, are you okay?" He asks, worriedly.
I nod. "I just got blinded by the light a little."
"You sure?" He asks.
"Mhm." I nod again, wincing a little when it hurt my head even more.
I felt Ryder looking at me and I glanced at him.
His gritted his jaw and he was clenching his fists.
What the hell did I do, this time?
Oh, never mind. I know.
I walked ahead of them into the house door and straight to my room.
I slowly lay on my bed, missing its comfy-ness. Yes, it's a word. In my dictionary.
After a while, my door opened revealing Ryder looking angry.
"Hey." I mumble laying in my bed, looking at the ceiling.
He closes the door and locks it before leaning on it.
"We made a deal." He said, through gritted teeth.
"I know that." I mumble.
"So, why are you still not eating? And how did the doctor not know you were malnourished?" He asks.
"Let's just say, I am really good at puppy dog eyes." I say.
He glares at me.
"Liana." He says in a warning tone.
"Are you still smoking?" I ask.
No answer.
"See?" I retort.
"You almost fainted just now." He points out.
I scoff.
"Nonsense." I say.
"I thought you were supposed to be injected with a tube because you couldn't eat when your wound was still new." He narrows his eyes at me.
I shrugged.
"I only let it in for a minute before pulling it out and draining it in the sink. Do you have any idea how much cal- never mind." I say.
Why am I telling him all this?
"If you don't stick to the deal, I'll tell Kyle." He says.
"You wouldn't." I say, sitting up.
"Oh, yes I would." He says as he walks closer.
I narrow my eyes at him.
"You wouldn't." I say again now only inches away from his face.
His hands were beside my thighs.
"But I would." He whispers.
Shit.
