The Bad Boy’s Favorite Girl

Chapter Sixteen

Elena’s pov

I groggily woke up with a pounding headache, feeling the warmth of the sun on my face.

As I opened my eyes, I found myself looking at a ceiling that I didn’t recognize. Unlike my blue ceiling adorned with stars from a middle school art project.

But this was white and I struggled to sit up while running my tired eyes. And when I opened them once more, I was met with the messiest room I had ever seen.

The desk and chair were cluttered with clothes, and a laptop was playing loud music. At the other end of the room, there was a guitar.

As if on cue, the bathroom door opened to reveal Mac in all his glory, he had a white towel wrapped around his waist, and droplets of water ran down his biceps leaving a trail behind on that tan skin.

His hair was wet and over his face as his tattoo complimented his wet body.

My heart skipped a beat as he dried his hair, showing off his strong arms. I blushed when our eyes met.

He asked if I liked what I saw, and I quickly looked away, focusing on the view outside the window.

“Shut up,” I said and he chuckled. “What happened? What am I doing here?” I asked, trying to remember what had happened last night but only bits of it filled my head as it came with a splitting headache.

“You got drunk and almost kissed Liam so I took you to my place,” Mac said and I gasped in shock. I had almost kissed Liam, leader of the savage brothers!

While a part of me was grateful for Mac’s help, another part couldn’t help but think that I had just narrowly escaped utter humiliation from the savage brothers.

I carefully rose to my feet and the room spun and Mac was at my side instantly, holding me.

“I have to leave. Thank you.” I whispered as I pushed myself off him, trying to balance my feet on the floor.

“I can give you a ride home,” Mac offered while I was trying to dry off the water that was already on my body. I declined, feeling embarrassed about seeing him partially undressed and the near-mistake of almost kissing Liam while I was drunk.

I snatched my phone as I looked to see I had a text from Vee that said okay. I opened it to see that I had texted her asking her to cover up for me at home, I turned to Mac.

“What did you do?” I showed him my phone and he smiled a mischievous dark smile.

“I’m supposed to be getting a thank you. I just saved your beautiful ass.” He grinned and I groaned, stepping out of his room.

“Whatever. Don’t talk to me at school.” I said as I stepped out and he followed behind me hurriedly, holding onto his towel as if it would drop off any minute.

“Why?” he asked

“Because you’re annoying and you show up everywhere,” I said and Mac laughed behind me as I climbed down the stairs looking around the apartment.

How on earth we got to this level of joking and laughing was still a mystery.

The Mac I know would have been screaming insults at me.

“Chill. It’s only been three days since we met. And I saved you from making the worst decision of your life. So you owe me for that.” Mac chucked.

I rolled my eyes. “So, you’re using that to get on my nerves?” I asked.

He nodded. “Precisely.” He said.

I feigned shock. “You used a big word.” I said as I turned to him, shocked that he even knew the meaning of “precisely”. Then I grinned as he puffed up his shoulders.

“I’m not as dumb as I act, Elena.” He said and I scoffed.

“Could’ve fooled me.”

“Bitch, I’m smart,” Mac said, feigning hurt as he placed his hand over his heart.

“Where are you going?” He asked, upon seeing me get out of his house.

“Away from you,” I said, passing a small dining table and reaching for the door only to have Mac step in front of me, I blushed at his chest in my face.

“Now, Doll, I’m not that annoying?.” He asked, smiling.

I nodded. “Oh, yes, you are. Now move and don’t call me that.”

He groaned. “Why do you hate me so much, Elena?” He asked.

I sighed. “Who said I hated you? Well, I don’t. I just think you’re annoying.”

Mac nodded. “Then, let’s hang out.” He said suddenly and I frowned.

There was no way I was going to hang out with someone like Mac.

He was the bad boy and playboy of our school, plus I would not forget in a hurry, how he used to bully me.

It would only resort to stupid rumors and knowing him, he wouldn’t deny them.

I snorted. “Nope,” I said, then advanced toward the door once more and Mac stepped forward.

“Come on, Elena, Let’s get ice cream or something” He whined and I looked up at him confused.

“Why do you want to hang out with me? You met me like what? Two? Three days ago?” I asked.

Mac grinned then wrapped an arm around my waist, and I froze at his wet arms around me.

Unconsciously, butterflies fluttered in my stomach and I could feel my cheeks getting hotter.

“Sorry. It’s just that you spark my interest.” He said and I could feel the rest of the drink coming up my throat.

I scoffed. “Is that your best pickup line? I wonder how many girls have fallen for that.”

Mac laughed. “I’m not that big of a player.” He said and I burst out laughing. Of course, he wasn’t, he had slept with half of the girls in our school and he was not a player. Yeah, right.

I crossed my arms and gave him a flat look as he shook his head. “Okay, maybe I am.” He said and I narrowed my eyes. “Fine. I am. But I’m serious, let’s hang out.”

“Ew, no. Let me leave, unlike some people, I love being early at school.” I said back to him.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“But I saved you from Liam, don’t I deserve a thank you for that?” Mac asked and I rolled my eyes at him.

“Fine. Jeez, you’re so persistent. One ice cream and we are done.” I said, pointing at him and he nodded before stepping out of the door, letting me leave.

I rolled my eyes as I opened the door and I heard him shout.

“You won’t regret it, I promise.” He yelled and I scoffed.

I was already regretting it.
