My Bad Boy's Gang novel Chapter 18

"See you tomorrow"? Vince asked.

I nodded and grabbed my backpack and got out of the truck.

I said "Yeah, Liz is coming over for dinner; so see you tomorrow".

"Ok, see you" They both said, and I ran up the driveway and to the front doors. I quickly unlocked it and walked in then shutting the door behind me.

"I'm home"! I yelled, and dropped my backpack, but there was silence. I walked into the kitchen and went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water out and saw a note.

Hey Rain,

We went out to grab some things and finished up our classes. We decided not to make dinner and go out since Dad has clients he's meeting anyways. Dress nicely and tell Liz too; meet you at Blue Gold.

~ Your favorite brother Ryan.

I rolled my eyes and crumpled the piece of paper in my hand then throwing it in the garbage and texting Liz on to dress nicely and where we were going.

* * * * * * * *

"Show me that you're human, and you won't break"! I sang and danced around my room as I got ready and my Gabrielle Aplin playlist played.

I walked up to my mirror and put in my silver dangling earrings and snapped them in and smoothed my clothes out in the mirror.

I was in a white crop top, with a black high-low skirt and a denim jacket with my curled lightly; if I dressed in 'nice jeans and a nice shirt' my dad would absolutely kill me.

I walked into my walk-in closet which was like another room, I scanned over the shelves and grabbed my Converses then thinking about how my dad had clients and then I put my converses back and grabbed a pair of black pumps.

I slipped my feet into them and stood up straight, then grabbing my phone and keys.

I walked out of the house and got into my truck, and drove out the driveway and headed to the warehouse to pick up to Liz; since I said I'd pick her up so she didn't have to drive.

I pushed the red-door open of the warehouse and walked in. I heard noises upstairs, and it sounded like Will and Peter chanting about something, and then I heard my name be yelled.

I walked up the old creaky metal stairs that were breaking. I walked to the main floor and stopped in front of the door.

"OHHHHH! YOU SO LIKE HER RYKER! DON'T EVEN DENY IT"! Neil yelled then laughing.

I hid behind the corner of the door and listened carefully.

Ryker likes someone?

I felt a pang in my chest, and my heart felt as if it broke.

"No I don't" Ryker's voice scoffed.

"Ok, you mean to tell us. That you don't like her? The girl that actually sets you in place and isn't afraid to stand up to you"? Peter's voice tested.

"Yes, because I don't"! Ryker's voice exclaimed with frustration.

"It's Rain for God sakes! You like her, and you know you do! You just don't want to admit because you don't want us to tell her"! Reece exclaimed with a laugh.

Me!?

My breath hitched and I froze in my place.

"If you don't like her? Then why did you keep looking at her the whole time while she had gym? Don't even acted like you weren't because I saw you. Your eyes were on her every second" Vince voice said and I could even feel his smirk.

"Well she likes you"! Liz exclaimed.

I scoffed; Thanks a lot Liz.

Ryker laughed without any humor "Really? She sure had a funny way of showing it...".

"She actually might; she was completely jealous in P.E." Vince said.

There all idiots...

"Ok you idiot! Ryker you know how I don't want you and Rain together; but even I can see she likes you. Have you seen the way she acts around you?" Craig said.

Are you serious?! Even Craig thinks I do.

"She like's Blake"! Ryker's voice yelled.

I opened the door and laughed as I walked in "You think I like Blake? And Right when I thought you weren't dumb, Ryker".

Their heads all whipped to look at me and Ryker's eyes widened and he shot up "How much did you hear"?

"Hear, what"? I raised an eyebrow and smirked.

Liz and Leah giggled, and Liz was dressed up as well with her black skater dress and black heels with make up and hair done.

I turned to Liz and said "We still have a few minutes..."

She nodded and I walked over to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle and unscrewed the cap and took a sip, and plopped down on the couch next to Will.

"Well you look nice" Neil said.

I rolled my eyes "Don't remind me" I said and I slipped the heels off my feet, since my feet were killing me just by walking in them.

"Rain!!!!!" A voice cheered and I looked and Melanie ran up to me, and jumped onto my lap and hugged me tightly.

I chuckled "Hey Melanie" and hugged her.

"Well, what the hell"!? Ryker stared dumbstruck, and she giggled "Rain's nicer".

I smirked "Oh look at that, I'm prettier and nicer" I said to Ryker and he rolled his eyes in response, and Faith walked in.

I stood up and put Melanie down and she walked over to Ryker, Faith smiled and hugged me "Hey, I haven't seen you in awhile".

I pulled out of her hug and nodded "Yeah it's been awhile" and my phone vibrated and I saw it was a text message.

My phone was then snatched out of my hand and Ryker stood with a smirk and my phone dangling in his hand.

I glared at him "Give it back".

"Nah, I think I'll just-" Then I saw him guess my pass-code and open my text messages.

My eyes widened and I tried to grab it from him but he moved his arm fast.

"Ryker give it back!" I whined.

He started to read threw them, then a smirk grew on his face.

My eyes widened and my cheeks flushed red.

Who the hell knows what I have in there!?

"So....Blake was right you do have a Victori-" He started but I quickly put my hand over hos mouth and his words muffled under my hand

He stepped back and smirked then continuing to read them.

"Ryker! Give me my fucking phone back!" I gritted and I chased him around the furniture as he read threw them and ran.

"Ryker Anderson! Give me my phone, NOW"! I yelled and the smirk just grew bigger and he opened his mouth to say something, but I jumped on his back and tried to grab my phone.

"You know, these are very interesting; I'd hate for them to get forwarded to your dad" He smirked, and my eyes widened and jumped off his back.

"Alright Ryker! That's enough, give her; her phone back" Leah said.

"Wait; let me just said these" He said as he concentrated typing on my phone.

"I swear to God, Ryker" I gritted and he looked up from my phone and we were so close I felt his peppermint breath on me.

"You swear to God, what"? He tested and raised an eyebrow, and I blinked slowly as are chest were pressed together and there was no distance between us.

"I-I-I..." I stuttered not being able to get over how close he was to me and how his touch made my heart race.

He leaned closer, and put his lips to my ear and whispered "Here's the thing Rain; you don't know what game you're playing, and you don't know how to play it"

He's so Bipolar!

"I didn't realize we were playing a game" I whispered to myself and blinked a few times slowly, trying to take in what he said.

He put his index finger under my chin and titled it up and smirked "Oh, but I think you did" and he took my hand and set it out and placed my phone in it.

My breath hitched at how his fingertips delicately touched my wrist, and electricity shot threw me, as my heart panged in my chest yet slammed into my rib-cage.

Then he pecked my lips and smirked, taking a step-back and leaving me there dumbfounded.

This was all a game to him?! That's why Craig warned me, he knew it was!

I glared at Ryker and grabbed his shirt in my hand and crunched it up in my hand and my eyes went dark.

"Listen here, Anderson" I gritted "I'm not one of your toys and I'm not going to be. So put yourself in fucking line, before you pull something like that again".

His eyes bored into mine and I wanted to hit him; more then anything right now.

I stepped back and turned to Liz "Come on, let's go".

We came to the restaurant, and I parked letting out a sigh.

"Alright" I said turning to Liz "My dad has a few clients; but you know which fork to use and everything"?

She chuckled "Yes Rain".

I nodded "Okay, well my dad's a bit....just ignore his comments", and I started to become anxious about how this could all go wrong.

"It'll be fine Rain" She said "But before we go, you want to talk about what happened between Ryker and you"?

I rolled my eyes "I don't want to talk anything about that jackass".

"Rain, I know his words hit you hard and don't even try to deny it. I was there; I know how it feels, and it sucked" She sighed.

I raised an eyebrow and gave a confused look.

"Here goes nothing" She sighed blowing out air then turning and looking at me "When I was your age; in senior year, I was in the gang and everything was great. I met this guy....and he seemed so sweet and nice and he was exactly like Ryker. He was funny and I found myself starting to like him, and I then found myself in a month; as absurd as it, I started to fall in love with him".

"Liz" I gave her an Are-You-Serious look "You can't fall in love with someone in a month".

She laughed without humor "Thats what I thought to...until we became really good friends; then it was against gang rules to date within the gang and I had to get over him...and truth is I'm still not over him".

I stared at her dumbstruck, and she got out and I quickly got out and walked up to her on the sidewalk.

"Liz" I stopped her "Are you talking about Peter"?!

She bit her lip and nodded slightly "Yeah, it's Peter".

I stared dumbstruck "O my God" I muttered "Craig, really stopped you two from being together"?

She nodded "Yes Rain, and he will do the same to you and Ryker, so I'm warning you that'll it'll come, and it'll come soon".

"I'm going to kill Craig" I muttered as I walked back to my truck and she grabbed my wrist and pulled me back "How about you do that after dinner"?

I rolled my eyes and we walked in, and came to the front desk and I said "We're part of the Thompson table".

The waitress nodded and led us threw the restaurant.

My dad stood up and smiled "Rain" and hugged me "You look pretty tonight, dressed more like a lady, you should try it more often".

I rolled my eyes behind his back and pulled away.

My dad turned to Liz and he put his hand out to her and introduced "Sheriff Thompson", and she smiled "It's nice to meet you Sheriff Thompson, I'm Elizabeth Doyle".
