Living With The Bad Boy

“Granny I’m home!” Said the familiar voice.

“Olivia?” He called as he took in my appearance.

“Yes. It is me. Olivia” I said as our eyes connected.

“What are you doing here?” His eyes raked my body from head to toe as he pulled off his boots by the door and hung his backpack on the iron stand by the door side before making his approach towards me.

“I can ask you that as well” I said rudely.

“What do you mean, this is my house” He seemed not to notice my rude attitude.

“I’m here to see Nana” I said sternly avoiding eye contact with him. What a jerk.

“Here you go Livi…… Junior?”She handed me the cup of coffee which I took from her immediately as she walked past me to face her grandson. She was clearly surprised to see Aiden which only means that she wasn’t expecting him.

“Hey Nana” He kissed and hugged her.

“What a surprise! You didn’t tell me you’re coming. You’re on vacation already?” Nana said as she stared at the big backpack hanging on the iron stand by the door.

“Nope” He said to her. If I wasn’t already angry at him and hate him, I’d have said he looked so much more cute and hotter than he was last two years. He had changed his hair cut from a textured quiff to a messy curly top with mid fade. I couldn’t help but notice the abs that were shown visible from the black tank top he was wearing. He had a piercing on his ear and lip which I surprisingly admired as he spoke to his grandmother. He was now taller than before.

There was one thing that caught my attention amidst all of his change, his lips. They weren’t pink anymore. They were now a light shade of brown which got me a little concerned and curious. He looked so skinny. He really has lost a lot of weight this previous years.

My blue orbs met with his his sterling grey ones and I immediately looked away with a flush of embarrassment evident on my face.

“So why are you home?” She eyed him wearily and cautiously.

“Why, can’t I come home again?” He asked as he walked past her and sat on one of the couches.

“Of course you can but may I know the reason why?” She asked as she walked over to where he was seated and sat just beside him.

I on the other hand took a sip of my coffee, pretending not to care as my eyes travelled everywhere but at them.

“I was missing my Nana so I decided to stop by for a while” I heard him say. Even though I wasn’t looking at them, I could feel his eyes on me. I dared not look back at him.

“Aww my sweet boy” She chuckled. “How long will you be staying?” She asked.

“For as long as my Nana wants” He said to her. There’s something about his appearance that I just couldn’t wrap my head around.

As I was busy eavesdropping on their conversation I unknowingly spilled cover on my t-shirt.

“Fuck” I cursed. Their eyes averted to me immediately.

“Oh dear, you spilled the coffee” Nana said sympathetically as they both stared at me. Aiden didn’t utter a word as I stood there feeling embarrassed.

“Uhm…. Nana…. could I… uhm …… use your restroom?”I asked.

“Of course dear, this is just like your home, feel free” She grinned at me and I smiled back awkwardly as I placed the coffee mug on the table beside me and made my way up the stairs hurriedly. It wasn’t difficult for me to locate the toilet since I’ve been here countless times in the past. As I strode down the small hallway, I walked past Aiden’s room where we both use to stay back then when we were dating. I remember how we’d go out and come back home and cuddle together in bed. He’ll sing for me and make drawings of me while I sat down quietly admiring him. We’ll both help Nana water her flowers on weekends and help her go grocery shopping. Things were so fun and exciting until I announced my departure to him and as the stupid boyfriend he was, he just had to go ahead and cheat on me with Fuckin Elsa.

As I reached the toilet, I pulled the door knob and walked in, making my way towards the tap. I pulled off my t-shirt and immediately poured a little bit of water to the affected area which only made the stain worse.

“Fuck” I cursed as I stood there looking at my reflection in the mirror which hung on the wall.

What do I do now, I can’t go out with this already ruined t-shirt.

“Here” The familiar voice of Aiden startled me. I turned around immediately, forgetting that I was only on my jean trouser and my black lace bra which exposed half of my cleavages.

My eyes travelled to his hands which held a clean black t-shirt.

“No thanks” I simply said as I crazily walked past him until I was pulled back by him.

“Let go of me you punk!” I yelled angrily as I tried to get away from his tight and firm grip.

“What the fuck is wrong with you, what’s with the attitude?” I yelled back.

“What attitude”I glared at him angrily.

“Oh don’t you dare try to pretend like you have no idea what I’m talking about because we both know that you know damn well what I’m talking about”He said to me.

“I owe you no fucking explanation. Let go of me Aiden!”I yelled angrily as I struggled against his grip.

“What’s wrong with you? I’m only trying to be nice here and you’re acting all sassy”He said to me.

“Sassy? Oh so now I’m being Sassy” I yelled before saying “Says the ex boyfriend who couldn’t help but cheat on his girlfriend when she told him about her departure” under my breath.

“Pardon?”

“Excuse me” I pushed his chest hard and successfully pulled myself away from him as I made my way towards the door only to be pulled back by him again.

“What is it Aiden!” I yelled at him.

“I am not done talking yet” He said calmly and took a deep breath before saying. “Please can we talk?”

“There’s nothing to talk about between us. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll love to take my leave, if you have the guts, try to touch me again. I dare you” I said and started walking away until his voice stopped me this time.

“Please” I paused. “Just once, can we just talk?”

“Talk about what Aiden, there’s nothing to talk about” I said without facing him.

“Please just two minutes, after that it’s up to you if you want to leave or stay” He said. Despite how badly I wanted to walk away I stayed back. Our exes deserve a chance to lie don’t they?C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Two minutes and I’m out of here” I folded my arms and turned back to face him.

“Thanks” He smiled, that smile I once admired.

“Start talking” I avoided eye contact with him.

“You might want to cover up a bit” He said as his eyes raked my half naked self. I become fully alert immediately and without thinking, I wore his t-shirt which fitted me perfectly even though it was a bit bigger than me. I really had nothing to loose though because he had seen my body countless times while we were still dating but well that was two years ago. I’ve grown more feminine and mature and I don’t think a cheating ex deserves to see that.

“Go on” I kept a bold face.

“Can we talk in my room” I was about to lash out at him when he added “Please”

“Why?”

“So that we can talk better in a more convenient place” He said calmly.

“Well I think here’s fine”I frowned.

“Please Liv, stop being difficult”

“Difficult? Oh so now I’m being difficult?” I yelled angrily at him.

“I’m sorry…. Please can we just go?” He begged.

“Fine” My voice was emotionless, the only emotion evident was anger and pure hate.

“Ladies first” He said disgustingly.

I walked out of the toilet without another word being said as he followed behind me. I could feel his eyes watching my every move as we got into his room. It was just like it was before. Messy and untidy. I remember I’d always scold him whenever I visited and found his room in such a mess. I’d help him fold his clothes and tidy up the mess he made. We’ll both do his dirty laundry and then make snacks together. Everything that once made me happy now angered me.

I heard him slam the door shut. I didn’t think anything about it because I knew Aiden was many things but a rapist. He wouldn’t touch me without my permission. I was sure of it.

I walked on my tip toes trying to avoid stepping on any of his properties as we both walked further into the room.

“Start talking” I folded my arms.

“You came back” I simply said.

“Isn’t it obvious?” I said rudely.

“Yeah but why?” He ignored my tone.

“None of your business” I said to him.

“I missed you” He simply said.
