Ivy's P.O.V
“No I am not coming in Ryder. You are a horrible human being if you make me do a two hour work out when I am hungover.” I groaned stopping in front of the entrance of the gym, stomping my foot
“You should not have drank as much then should you have?” he laughed
“That was your fault. You drank as much as much but like always you are fine. I hate you sometimes.” I pouted like a child
Ryder chuckled, shaking his head before grabbing my hand, dragging me inside. God my best friend is a jackass. I could barley stand I was that rough never mind working out. As soon as we walked in one of the male trainers that worked with Ryder approached us
“I hear you two finally got together?” he smirked
How does he even know that? Ryder and I looked at each other before looking back at him confused
“How do you know?” Ryder asked
“Ellie. She is telling everyone or should I say moaning at everyone about it.” He said rolling his eyes
I should have known, that b***h has a big mouth.
“Yes we are, still all kind of new.” Ryder said smiling
“Well I am glad you have finally moved on from Ellie Ryder. Everyone knew you two would end up together eventually.” He winked walking away
Great now we had to pretend to be together at the gym too.
“Um...yeah that was not meant to happen.” He said rubbing the back of his neck
“We should have known though cause she has a huge mouth on her. Well sweetheart we better get this right then uh?” I said giggling
“Yes baby we better.” He chuckled winking at me “Shall we?” he said extending his hand to me
“We shall.” I giggled taking his hand, his fingers linking with mine
The both of us had another chuckle before pulling ourselves together as we headed in. I could feel a pair of eyes on us as soon as we did. I never had to look to know who it was…Ellie! I turned around to find where the eyes were coming from. And right enough she was staring at us when really she should be concentrating on the person she was in session with. I smirked at her, making her growl at me. I could tell this was getting to her, time to get to her some more. I turned my attention back to Ryder, smirking at him and he knew exactly what I was doing. He dropped my hand, his hands falling at my hips, pulling my body close to his. I giggled loudly, playfully pushing his chest before wrapping my arms around his neck
“Do you think it is getting to her?” I smirked
“By the look on her face I would say yes.” He smirked back
He looked down at me, his brown eyes falling on mine “Would I get a slap if I reached in and kissed you right now, will only make it a peck…promise?” he asked hopeful
I rolled my eyes playfully before nodding my head. We had not spoken about the first kiss we shared last night which makes me think all my thoughts were only in my head. Ryder inched closer to me, leaving a small space between our lips which I soon closed. I felt the pit of my stomach stir as soon as his warm lips came in contact with mine. I used everything in me to supress the whimper that was trying to escape from my lips, I never needed a repeat of the same response as last night. I felt his grip tightened on my hips, his lips pressing that little harder against mine. I decided it would be safer if I pull away before it starts heading down the same road. I removed my lips from his, our bodies still close. I opened my eyes looking at him. I was met with him looking down at me, licking his lips. A silence fell between us for a moment, it seemed like neither of us knew how to respond.
“Let’s get to it baby.” Ryder said winking at me
I nodded, not saying anything. I was dreading this it really is the most boring thing in the world working out. Ryder took my hand, leading me over to his section of the gym, still in view of Ellie.
“Get on your back Ace.” He smirked
“Excuse me?” I asked a little shocked
“Calm down I meant to get the session started. What did you think I was gonna do take you on the mat in front of everyone?” he chuckled
Yes, well that made more sense. I felt my face flush red, embarrassed with myself. Ryder chuckled loudly, grabbing Ellie’s attention again. I see a look of regret shoot across her face. Please b***h, don’t act like you ever gave a s**t about Ryder. I honestly wanted to go over and slap the b***h one. I aint a violent person but that could change if she ever comes near my best friend again. I glared at her, soon making her turn away.
“Sit up’s please….ten.” I heard Ryder’s voice say from behind me, his hand slapping my ass, making me yelp
I turned to him, glaring at him. He put his hands on my ass again he will be the one getting slapped.
“What? It was right there, I couldn’t help myself. Plus I am an ass man and she knows that so stop glaring at me like a child and go with It.” he said cockily
“I hate you.” I pouted like a child “ten really? I can barely manage two?” I said annoyed
“Stop moaning. Get on your back and get to it…now Ivy.” He demanded
“God you are f*****g bossy.” I said stomping my foot before laying down on the mat
He laughed loudly, kneeling down at the bottom of the mat, grabbing my ankles. I rolled my eyes before pushing myself up and back down…once…twice and three before collapsing against the mat, struggling to catch my breath, I really was not made to work out.
“I can’t do anymore.” I moaned at him, batting my lashes at him
“Ace? Now! Or I swear I will sit on you and make you do it that way.” He chuckled
“You would not dare? I don’t want your fat ass on me thank you very much.” I giggled
“Hey! That was mean. I do not have a fat ass. I have a very firm, tight ass thank you very much. You better take those words back, right now.” He said pretending to be mad at me
He was worse than a woman sometimes. I smirked at him, shaking my head. He should give up cause he aint got the guts to do anything about it.
“Ivy?” he warned
“Ryder!” I said mocking him
“I warned you.” He smirked
I looked at him, a little worried now with the devilish look on his face. He pushed my knees apart, kneeling between them, staring down at me. I never liked the look in his eyes
“W…what…you…doing?” I stuttered out
He never said another word instead he climbed up, his body towering over the top of mine. I swallowed hard, my breath hitching in my throat. What was he doing? He placed his hands at each side of my head, placing himself on my stomach. I found myself fall still, nervous to move…nervous to see what his next move was gonna be. Ryder started inching closer to my face, his hot breath ticking my neck. Please do not let him kiss me again? His lips brushed my lips before they moved to my ear
“Payback Ace.” He hissed
His hands moved and next thing I knew he was tickling me. Oh f**k no! I hated that. I had a legit fear of being tickled. It was like my own personal hell. He knew this….asshole
“No Ryder! Stop it.” I groaned, wriggling under him, trying to move away from him but he never, he was having too much fun, he was too busy laughing. “I hate you.” I said trying to kick his ass
“Well you should not have told me I had a fat ass then should you have? And you should have continued with your sit-ups then we would not be here would we?” he said smugly
I could hear other people laughing, seeing people looking at us. I decided enough was enough. I pushed on his chest, flipping him onto his back, sitting on him, pinning his hands against the mat, above his head
“You are a f*****g asshole Ryder. I do not love you anymore.” I pouted
“No but I am thinking you want me other ways now by the very compromising position you have put us in.” he smirked “Ivy I always knew you secretly wanted me.” he added smugly, his hands landing on my ass
“Eww! You are disgusting and a perv dude. I think I need a new best friend.” I giggled
“You would miss be too much Ace. I never noticed how much of a sexy ass you had Ivy.” He said, grabbing my ass in my hands, an involuntary whimper falling from my lips “Ha you like me grabbing your ass.” He added
“Oh yes Ryder please keep grabbing my ass with your perverted hands cause that is a girls dream.” I said sarcastically
He chuckled, reaching up and pushing my bangs away from my eyes. The same softness to his eyes he always had when he looked at me. I smiled down at him before sticking my tongue out at him
“I will bite that.” He laughed
“Whatever dude!” I said rolling my eyes
“Get a f*****g room.” We heard a hiss come from behind us
I looked over my shoulder, being met with Ellie standing there, arms over her chest as she glared at us. Would you look at that, the witch is jealous?
“Oh trust me we plan on it soon.” I said smirking at her
I see Ryder out the corner of my eye trying not to chuckle
“Hoe!” she hissed
That b***h did not just call me a hoe? She has the cheek to call anyone a hoe. I pulled away from Ryder, jumping to my feet, standing in front of her
“Hoe? You of all people are calling me a hoe? Please b***h, you opened your legs to your boyfriends brother…you are the hoe, not me.” I hissed back at her
I see her full face drop when I said that. She stepped in closer to me, her face only inches away from mine
“I could get him back in a split second bitch.” She hissed, smirking a little
“Try it and see what happens? Ryder does not want you anymore. Does Luke know that you still want his little brother? I will warn you once Ellie stay the f**k away from my man.” I growled at her
She went to say something, before she could Ryder appeared between us, standing in front of me, looking at Ellie
“Ellie just go OK? I do not want you anymore. I have Ivy, she is better than you will ever be.” He said calmly
Ellie stepped into him, running her fingers down Ryder’s chest. I watched as his full body tensed under her touch
“You sure about that?” she purred seductively at him
He froze for a moment before he pulled himself together, grabbing her hand, pushing it away from him
“Positive. Let’s go baby.” Ryder said, reaching for my hand and we walked away, Ellie standing watching after us.
When he was a safe distance between him I heard him let out a breath he had been holding in
“You OK?” I asked
“I will be. Thank you for having my back.” He said wrapping his arm around my shoulder, pulling me into his side, kissing the top of my head “I love you Ivy.” He whispered
“Dude you know I always have your back. I love you too.” I said smiling up at him
I was dreading this 50th next weekend cause I can’t deal with the drama that is gonna come with Ellie being there with Luke. I knew by the end of it Ryder was gonna be a mess. I wish they had stayed away.
