The Bad Boy and The Sheriff’s Son.Chapter 35: they are just boys .“You’re making me feel depressed. You literally look like an extra from a shit zombie film,” Laura said slamming a hand onto his locker door when she closed it. “Five days, Jordan, five days of watching you walk around school looking gormless. Shawn all worried, Anna being the supportive and doting girlfriend and it’s disgusting. Now tell me right now what’s happened.”“This is a weird hello.”“Do not fuck with me,” she muttered pointing a finger at him. “I’m very intuitive when I want to be and I’m guessing argument with Derrick or you’ve broken up.”“Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner,” he muttered sarcastically facing her. “We broke up, five days ago. No, I don’t want to talk about it. Bye!”Laura gripped his wrist tugging him back when he went to walk away. “You really think that is going to work on me?”“Where were you four days ago?”“I had more important things.”“I have an important thing, I have a history e
The Bad Boy and The Sheriff’s Son.Chapter 36: be happy and forget .Derrick walked in to see Demi waiting for him when he got in with takeaway and dumped the stuff on the table.“You look peeved, what’s happened?”“I bumped into Jordan.”“Oh dear, how unfortunate, the world is ending,” she said in mocking tone appearing at his side and giving him a sad smile. “I saw him today in school, made up a bunch of crap about you being awful and horrible when really the moment you dump him you turn a corner!”“I did it for you,” he answered with a roll of his eyes.“You did it for yourself and because I saw you go for the vodka bottle and brought out my secret weapon.”“I did it because it brought back memories of…Laura. I don’t want to do something stupid.”“I admire that, I do, I don’t want you to die. I want you to be healthy, happy, in love, and loved right back…but you won’t let yourself and I don’t think you will for a while.”“Will you get the plates out?” he said turning towards her
The Bad Boy and The Sheriff’s Son.Chapter 37: ex at the club .Jordan was ready to get drunk and not have a care in the world. Laura took charge though when he text her about coming out and she came around trailing her eyes up and down his body before going to his bedroom. He never thought he’d see the day of Laura in his bedroom but for different reasons. Jordan stood like her little model when she rummaged through his clothes scowling in disgust before pulling out a pair of tight blue jeans and a fitting black top. He pulled them on reluctantly and stood in front of his floor length mirror in surprise.“I look good,” he whispered before turning towards her when she fixed his hair with a little gel. “I don’t want to hook up though! I told Shawn before, I’m not ready.”“This isn’t about hooking up, this is about showing off what you got. You’ve got your looks, a great ass, and it’s about flaunting what he threw away,” she said with a small smile looking him up and down. “Plus I re
The Bad Boy and The Sheriff’s Son.Chapter 38: exes in the club .“Guys keep chatting me up! Do I look gay?” Shawn hissed at him.“Yes, Shawnee, you look gay,” he said amused when he looked around with wide eyes. “You have to save me if he comes for me again. He’s nice but I’m not looking for a fuck.”“Stick with me,” Danny said with a small smile sipping from his cocktail.“My guardian angel,” he joked gulping his own down and wincing and hiccupped. “I need the toilet.”“I’ll come with you, Paul favours toilets,” he said nodding towards the dance floor and he turned to see him in a group looking in their direction.The problem was to get to them he would have to pass Derrick who was currently not looking at him when he talked with Ian. Jordan had butterflies in his stomach when he moved to past keeping his eyes on the floor when he did with Danny close behind him. He inhaled softly when he passed smelling his cologne and pressing down a whimper when he burst into the toilets.“You
The Bad Boy and The Sheriff’s Son.Chapter 39: win me back .Derrick gritted his teeth unable to answer him when Jordan laughed shakily looking away.“You ended it! It’s been a month and a little bit more, Derrick, and I’m only doing what I thought you’d want.”“So what you’re trying to say is that you can be upset if I moved on but I can’t be upset that you moved on?”“You ended it!” Jordan shouted at him.“Because you didn’t wait for me to tell you!”“What kind of reason is that? I’m sorry I pushed, I am, but all I wanted was to get to know you better. It’s all I wanted!” Jordan shouted back at him shoving at him so he stepped back. “I can’t even kiss a guy in there without feeling like complete shit!”“How is it my fault?” he hissed stepping into his personal space.“Because you stared at me the whole time, I kissed him and you stared at me like I stabbed you or something! How even after all this all I want to do is slam you into the fucking wall and kiss you because it’s you who
The Bad Boy and The Sheriff’s Son.Chapter 40: bygones be bygones .Fate was laughing at him when he turned to see Derrick carrying a grocery bag and staring at him before looking at Danny behind him. His eyes narrowed only slightly and there was a coldness there that made his stomach clench.“I – I, um, I better go, Jordan, I’ll see you tomorrow,” Danny said touching his back gently before leaving.Jordan nodded absently staring at Derrick stunned. “What are you doing here?”“Muffins, Demi demanded them from here, they’re the best apparently.”“Right,” he whispered squeezing his hands together. “If I said this is not what it looks like…would you believe me?”“No,” Derrick answered simply walking by and walking in to the shop.“Because it’s not what it looks like, he asked me out for coffee,” he said following him. “Wait, why am I explaining this to you? You’re the one who’s been absent for five days! It’s a trait of yours I think.”“Absent?”“Yes, since Jungle, I told you if you re
The Bad Boy and The Sheriff’s Son.Chapter 41: be mine again .Frank sighed deeply as he threw down his cloth looking him up and down. “Well you’re an eye candy lad and you’ll certainly get the crowd in I guess for that. Fine, tonight, be here for five, you get one chance and if you screw up…you’re gone!”Derrick nodded repressing the urge to smile when he walked out of there feeling a sense of positive. It had been three days since he had seen Jordan outside the coffee shop and he was kind of desperate to see him again. Thankfully it was a Saturday and there was no school for Jordan when he sent him a message asking to see him.“Why?” – Jordie. 11:16am.“I need to see you. I’ll pick you up.”“Fine.” – Jordie. 11:23am.Derrick smiled faintly before heading back to the apartment block and getting into his car to go to the house and instead of waiting he knocked. The door opened not revealing Jordan but the Sheriff who frowned at him confused.“Derrick?”“I’m here for Jordan, sir,”
The Bad Boy and The Sheriff’s Son.Chapter 42: rekindle .The beauty of spring and summer plus it being June was that the sun was out, temperatures were up, and Jordan could go the beach happily enough. The benefits of “dating” your ex-boyfriend again were beneficial when he could convince him to take him there on the weekend. He was able to bask in the sunshine when he laid back on the dune and looked at Derrick sat next to him looking around. His eyes hidden by sunglasses when he scanned the area.“You know guys use that as a tactic to watch girls in their bikinis or guys walking around in nothing but shorts,” he said propping up on his elbows and smirked faintly when he looked over. He bit his inner bottom lip when he looked up and down his body slowly before looking at his face.“I don’t need to look at anyone else.”“Flattery will get you everywhere,” he said looking down at his chest that was pale in the worst way. “I look like a milk bottle though.”“No, you don’t, you loo
