The Bad Boy Falls in Love novel Chapter 6

Halsey sneezes out of cold. She’s in the car with Nathan, too nervous to talk. The events of the day had taken a toll on her. All she wants is to go home and hide under her blanket. No person ever scared her as much as Nathan Jacobs did.

“You live with the Wright’s huh?” he asks in a deadpan tone.

She nods in response. “C-Charlotte is my godmother,” she says.

Nathan’s fingers clench around the wheel but he shrugs it off.

“Is that your place?” he asks, pointing at a two storeyed house near the town’s cafe.

“Yes,” Halsey replies. “I should get going…”

As soon as the car stops, she runs out of it but to her shock, Nathan follows her. She instantly grabs her spare glasses from the kitchen counter.

“W-What are you doing?” She squeaks when he casually walks into the house.

“What? I need clothes too,” he smirks and sits on a chair in the dining room.

“Charlotte isn’t home and I’m not supposed to bring any guy here when she’s not around!” Halsey pleads. “Please leave!”

Nathan scoffs at her. “You can’t bring a guy?” he sneers. “As if anyone will want you!”

Halsey looks down at her toes. He is right. No sane guy will like a plain jane like her. Nathan noticed her sad expression and simply shakes his head. He really hates this weak girl.

“My clothes are wet. Don’t you think you should thank me for saving you?” he demands.

Halsey panics. Thank him?

“I-I don’t have any clothes for you!” she mumbles.

“Lincoln’s clothes will fit me,” he shrugs. “I’m sure he’s got plenty of clothes even though they look like sh*t.”

Halsey frowns at him but Nathan hardly cares. “Bring me clothes otherwise I’ll tell the whole school about our kiss,” he winks. “Isn’t that gonna be spectacular news? I’m sure you’ll be the target of my exes too…”

“You’re the one who warned me not to tell and I didn’t tell anyone!” Halsey protests.

“Are you raising your voice in front of me, nerd?”

He suddenly stands up and steps towards her. Halsey nervously steps backwards until her back hits a wall. Nathan completely corners her. Slamming his hands against the wall, he cages her in his grasp. His dark eyes are poring at her, scaring her. But for some reason, her heart is beating a little too loudly.

“I changed my mind,” he whispers. “Seeing your nervous expressions amuse me. I wonder what’ll happen if I do tell everyone that we kissed. Don’t you think you’ll become more popular among the students?”

Halsey’s lips tremble in fear. Popularity is the last thing she wants. All she wants is a peaceful life.

“But you don’t want to reveal it,” he guesses correctly. “Which only makes me want to reveal it.”

“P-Please don’t!” she begs. “I…”

Nathan grins and backs off. Taking her chance, Halsey moves away from him, putting several meters distance between them.
