Chapter 10 Chapter Ten
“Thank you, Ms. Kim we will do that.” Ryder says flashing her an irritatingly sweet smile as he guides me to the back of the room. “Told you sis, she loves me.” He whispers in my ear before finally taking his arm off my shoulder.
I take my seat beside Logan who is still glaring at Ryder. “Hey.” I whisper to Logan who finally looks at me.
“Hey, what’s up with you and Ryder.” Logan asks, getting directly to the point.
I take a deep breath and blow it out slowly before answering. “I will explain later. Sorry I didn’t text you back earlier.”
Logan stares at me for a second but nods his head and turns his attention back to Ms. Kim. Great now I have to come up with some kind of excuse before the end of class. Ryder said car trouble but even I didn’t believe that crap and I am sure Logan is wondering more about Ryder draped all over me rather than ‘car troubles’.
The dismissal bell dings way too soon, and I pack up my things getting ready to lie to Logan. “So, what’s up with you and Ryder?” Logan asks again, the second we step out of the class.
I sigh. “Ryder forced me to ride with him to school this morning because his dad got mad at him for not giving me a ride yesterday. His dad told him if he didn’t give me a ride then he would take his car away. Ryder also got mad cause I was hanging out with you and refused to stop.”
Logan nods his head. “Why were you guys so late?”
I knew that question was coming. “Ryder decided he didn’t want to attend his first two classes today.” Which is not technically a lie. “Unfortunately, he would not drop me off at the school because he is a dick.” Also, not a lie. He pretty much held me hostage this morning.
Logan nods his head as he processes the information. “Well, I am supposed to get my car back from the shop either tomorrow or the next day. So, you can just tell his dad you have a ride and don’t need to ride with your asshole of a stepbrother anymore.”
I laugh at that. “That sounds amazing. Thank you.”
Logan smiles for the first time since I have seen him today. “I missed you.”
“I missed you too.” I say smiling and leaning into him as we walk.
“Come here.” Logan says pulling me to the side of the main classroom building.
“What are we doing? We are going to be late for Spanish.” I say giggling.
Logan smiles. “I can’t wait all day to do this.” Logan says before leaning in to kiss me.
My hands find the back of his neck immediately as I twist my fingers in his hair, attempting to pull him closer. Logan’s tongue swipes across my lips and I gladly open up for him. His tongue swirls around mine, making me moan into his kiss. Logan’s hands make their way down to my ass giving it a gentle squeeze and I lean even further into his kiss.
“Get a room.” A familiar voice says from behind us, and we reluctantly pull away from each other.
Looking around Logan I see Ryder staring at us. “Screw you Ryder.”
Ryder winks. “When sis?”
I scoff in disgust, but my insides are telling a different story. I hate that I can’t stop reacting to him.
Logan glares at Ryder and takes my hand. “Come on baby we better get to class.”
We walk past Ryder and make our way into the main classroom building. “Please tell me Ryder isn’t in this class too.” I ask Logan.
Logan sighs. “I wish I could tell you that, but sadly he is.”
“Fuck.” I say right before going into the Spanish 3 classroom. I guess he didn’t feel like going to this class yesterday either. I thought I was only going to have to see him a couple times during the day. Now I have to see him for half of my damn school day and at home.
Logan laughs. “At least you don’t have to sit with him.”
I smile. “Yeah, that’s true.”
Mrs. Gomez is standing at the front of the class with a stack of paperwork. “Everyone please take a seat. We have a lot to cover today.”
Logan and I settle into our seats at the back of the classroom and Logan slides his hand onto my thigh. Sending a chill down my body. He starts drawing small circles on my thigh and I lean closer to him.
Even with Logans distracting touch I can’t help but let my eyes wander to Ryder. I don’t understand what has made him turn so possessive of me all of a sudden. I also don’t understand why he is so obsessed with my ‘boyfriends’ when he has a damn girlfriend. A girlfriend that I am sure is not happy with him at this point considering he apparently picks her up every morning.
Ryder turns to look at me and heat spreads up my neck and across my cheeks. Instead of turning away I continue staring and Ryder does the same. His gaze drops to my chest, which luckily is still covered by Logan’s hoody, and my hand goes to the hickey on my chest. Ryder winks.
Logan tightens his grip on my thigh, and I look at him, breaking the intense eye contact with Ryder. “Why is your face so red?” Logan whispers into my ear and I almost choke on my spit.
“I- I was thinking about something.”
Logan smirks. “Something? Something inappropriate?”
I laugh. “Wouldn’t you like to know.”
Logan narrows his eyes but laughs. “I would love to know what you are thinking about.”
“Maybe I can show you later.”
Logan gives me a quick peck on the cheek. “I would love that.”
If only he knew it was Ryder making my mind wander. I wish it wasn’t, but I can’t seem to help it. He has forced his way into my mind, and I can’t get him out. The dismissal bell rings and normally I am excited for lunch but today I am not really hungry. “You ready baby?” Logan asks his breath hot against my ear.
I smile at him. “Yeah. Let’s go.”
Logan intertwines his fingers in mine, and I can’t help but smile. Logan picks a burger and fries for lunch today. “You not getting anything baby?”
“I’m not really hungry.”
Logan nods his head. “Well, if you change your mind you can have some of mine.”
“Thanks.” I smile at him. He is so incredibly sweet. I should feel guilty for messing around with Logan and Ryder at the same time, but I don’t. That is the bad part. I don’t know what is wrong with me.
We make our way outside to the picnic table we ate at yesterday and all the guys are waiting for us. “Lilly, you made it to school. We were worried about you.” Calvin says, pulling me into a hug.
I laugh. “Sorry I didn’t mean to make you guys worry.”
Logan huffs and sits down on the table pulling me down between his legs like yesterday. “Ryder’s dumbass made her late today.”
Everyone looks at me confused. “Why were you with Ryder?” Harrison asks.
