Bad Boy's Need

1.

'I want you to take care of yourself, I will ask Asher to pick you up from school for two weeks I am gone.' he gave a chaste on my cheek and smiled. Although he look tensed, very tensed, but I didn't ask. 

I smiled back and nodded. though I had a bad feeling about his trip out of the country, but as he told me it is important and safe, I didn't protest. 

It was his first trip like this with being in relationship with me. I had no right to interfere in his personal matters. I don't know if he did this often, but I knew he came from Italy. 

'I love you, bye baby.'  with a small smile, he turned around and made his way towards his car, f*****g black SUV. he sat in the car, winked at me and drove off. 

I just stood there in the lobby, in my t-shirt and night pyjamas, blushing. it was sweet.

i came inside my apartment, which I share with my Best friend. making my way into the kitchen, with a sigh I continued making my sandwich, which I left when Ale called me and told me to come down in the lobby. 

placing the sandwich in the microwave I stood there, smiling at nothing in particular. 

'so? your lover boy gone?'  Amelia came in the kitchen, with a goofy grin. 

I just shrugged, taking out my sandwich from the microwave, when it beeped. 

'I have you whole for two weeks.' she squeaked, hugging me tightly. I laughed at her excitement, hugging her back. 

'okay now, it is already getting late, I am going to sleep as we have school tomorrow, good night' she gave a quick kiss on my cheek and left. 

I made my way into my room, and sat on the bed putting sandwich plate on my side table. I knew for sure, I was not going to get any sleep tonight, as I had an assignment to make that was to be submitted by tomorrow. with a long exasperated sigh I started making it.

It was six in the morning, and I had little sleep last night, with a groan, i made my way into the bathroom, to get ready for school. it was Friday today and I was already excited for the weekend. 

wearing a high waist ripped jeans with an over sized t-shirt, i made my hair in a loose braid, with my school bag, hanging on my shoulder, i made my way out of the room to see an all dressed up Amelia, eating an apple. 

when she saw me, she threw an apple my way from the counter and yelled.

'we will not be able to catch the bus Val, hurry up.' she ran to the front door, with me trailing right behind. 

we hurried to the bus stop, where other children were also waiting for the bus, breathing a sigh of relief, we saw the bus coming, stopping right in front of us. 

sitting inside, me and Amelia talked about her shopping she did for her niece, who was born last week, she was so excited to meet her.

reaching school, I straight went to my class, History. well for me History was always interesting, I loved to know about the past about our country, and the eras that passed. 

sitting on my usual first desk, I saw children filling in. when the teacher entered, we greeted her and she made her way to the teachers desk. after a couple of minutes, the door opened, revealing our principal and a good looking boy behind him, who I never saw in the campus before. 

our teacher talked to the principal in hushed voices, before making his way out, leaving the new pretty boy to himself. 

'why don't you introduce yourself to us kid?' professor Owens gestured towards the class.

'my name is Mason Campbell, I got transferred here from Berlin. I am 18 years old.' he spoke confidently, with his thick German accent, which made girls to drool over him. 

Professor Owens with a nod told him to take a seat. to which he nodded, went and sat at the back. 

students with their heads turned back were staring at him, when professor cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention and started the lecture. 

I am Valenie Baker, a German and 17, i was born here in Bamberg, a small town in Germany. My foster parents lived on the outskirts of town with my younger step sister, and as it was difficult to travel everyday from there to school, me and my best friend with our gaurdian's permission, rented an apartment near school.

 Amelia Jones was my best friend since elementary. we were neighbors before, which made our friendship more stronger. she lived with her Elder sister, who got married two years back to her boyfriend of seven years. Amelia's mother died with lung cancer when she was 3, and her father followed right after, with a severe heart attack, leaving her big sister, Delany to take care of her. we both helped each other in thick and thins, with dreams so big, we went in the same school, with an apartment we both shared. 

To not be a burden on my old parents, I started a part time job, at a nearby restaurant as a waitress. though the job didn't pay so well, but it was enough for me to last for the month. I had nothing interesting in my life, it was just ordinary. with me waking up, going to school, attending all the lectures, going directly to the restaurant after school, doing my job professionally, coming back home, eating dinner, doing homework and going to sleep right after, simple! 

we both shifted to the apartment, six months back, and after visited our families, every month. I was plain, with my blue eyes and shoulder length hair, I was simple and a little beautiful. I had a curves at the right places, not too big, not too small. though I was slim and short, but I was thankful for what I have. 

I was an introvert, with no arrogance. I was polite to everyone, even the jerks of the school. I was never a troubled child, which made me an ordinary. I was not popular, or even close to. It was all because I kept with myself, and never interfered in another's life. 

Ale was a popular student, but he never took advantage of it, at least never in front of me. he like me, kept to himself, no doubt he was handsome, but I never took interest. He and his friends which include, Enzo Rossi who came with him from Italy, they were the best friends, more like brothers, and Asher Fleetwood, who was their friend, even before they came here. 

he was nice to everyone, though he was rich and quite, but people took his silence as arrogance. whenever I would come to face with him, he would smile at me or greet me.

Three months back, he asked me on a date, at first I was reluctant, but seeing his unhappy and dejected expression, I agreed. 

the whole evening on our date, he was considerate, affectionate and understanding. for me it was purely awkward, as it was my first time on a date, when I told him this, he assured me and smiled. he was being patient and thoughtful. To make me comfortable, he even told me to bring Amelia along with me, but Amelia being Amelia, dumped me. 

the date went fortunate, he dropped me at my apartment and kissed me on my cheek, in reply I also kissed him back on his cheek, to which he smiled warmly. A week after the date, we became close and I accepted to become his girlfriend, as he was asking me everyday to be in a relationship with him, like this I got acquainted with his friends, Asher and Enzo, they both were also very friendly, and gave a brotherly vibe. he or his friends never made me feel uncomfortable. Though they all were bulky and huge, but I let it go. Maybe they loved to workout. 

Amelia had no problem with me being in a relationship, more over, she was so happy and excited. Amelia also befriended them, and they liked her too. but sometimes, she jokingly complained to me, that I was not spending time with her more, although I spent most of my day with her.

Ale was not very happy to see me working as a waitress, but I assured him, it was necessary, and he being considerate, let it go. he was possessive, this is what I learnt, after spending time with him.

Me and Ale had three classes together, German, Maths and Geography. He was an average student in every subject, apart from maths, he was a pro in it. he every single time aced full marks in it. 

these all three months, we both had been together, he was caring, considerate and affectionate. He never once forced me into anything, which I loved about him the most. He kissed me the very first time, when he confessed his Love for me, two weeks back. strange! it was my first kiss, and it was the most memorable, passionate and full of love. 

yesterday he came to my building, for saying Goodbye. as he and Enzo were leaving for some work, out of the country. 

ringing of the bell, snapped me out of my thoughts, taking my bag and books, I started making my way outside, when a voice from behind me, made me to turn back. 

'hey, I was just hoping, if you would like to show me around the campus.' it was the new boy. he looked polite, so I also agreed. 

'hi, yeah sure, at lunch time?' i asked with a smile. to which he agreed. After I introduced myself, I left for my next class, that was art, with the new boy itself. 

_____________________

it was lunch time when I spotted Asher and Amelia sitting on our specific table, which was reserved for us only. giving them a wave, I headed over to them, but before I  can go to them, Mason, the new boy came in front of me. 

'hey! you still up for the tour of the campus?' he came and stood in front of me. 

oh shoot! i forgot.

'yeah i was just about to come to you, anyways lets go.' i gestured him to move and we left the cafeteria, but before that, from the corner of my eyes, I saw a very confused Amelia and a very angry Asher, clenching his jaw. 

the day passed by in a blur, with me showing the campus around to Mason, and right after attending my respective classes. 

it was after school, when I saw a tensed Asher standing on the main gate. 

he is going to drop me at my work place, s**t!! it totally slipped out of my mind.

I sauntered towards him, not wanting for him wait, as much as I already made him. 

'hey, sorry for being late,' he looked at me once and nodded, making his way towards his car, with me following behind.

we were halfway on the way to restaurant, when I sighed and asked. 

'what happened Asher, you look.. uhh tensed?' it was not like Asher, to sit in silence, he was the most talkative amongst them. 

'it's that just Ale is not very happy to hear, you talking to a boy,'  he stated, frustratingly. 

'what?, are you serious Asher! I was just trying to help that boy.' I yelled, exasperated.

'I don't know, but Ale told me to not let you talk to any boy, or he will kill me first thing when he arrives.' . he uttered. I looked at him in disbelief, then moments later, burst out laughing.

'Asher you do realize, he was joking! why are you taking it seriously?' Asher looked at me dead in the eye. 

okay maybe this was serious! but what I don't understand is, why would Ale kill him just because I was talking to a boy?.I knew for sure, he was just joking and threatening him for fun. there was no other reason. or maybe it was another prank of Asher to bring a reaction out of me.

he parked the car in front of the restaurant and I walked out quietly, saying a small goodbye on my way. 

Amelia had her own job, and as it was just behind school, she preferred walking there.

after a very tiring day at work, i changed into my clothes and walked out of the restaurant, saying a goodbye to my coworkers on the way. 

walking in to the apartment building, I sighed in relief, it looked very creepy to walk at eleven in the night, all alone. making my way inside the apartment, I locked the front door, and came in the hall, to see a sleepy Amelia, watching TV. 

'hi' i greeted, tired.

she just nodded, and closed her eyes, I was myself sleepy, so without eating anything I straight went to bed, after changing into my night suit. 

it was a long day! and I missed Ale so very badly!
