♡ Mia's pov ♡ "Hey!" I snapped behind Kade as I tried to keep up with his unbelievably fast footsteps. He really put those long legs to use. He pretends to not have heard me, back stiff and head forward as he all but marched to his room. Seeing that my chance to give him a piece of my mind was slowly slipping away, I had no choice but to run towards him. "Hey jerk!" I poked him on his shoulder. He was really tall, and broad and- Whirling around quickly Kade glared down at me which made me stagger back slightly. "What?" He spat, the blue in his eyes darkening with irritation. This is your home Mia, don't let him treat you like the outsider. Seeing that I had his attention now I crossed my arms to seem intimidating. I don't think it worked as I saw the flash of amusement in Kade's eyes. At least that was an emotion. "You can stop being a big jerk you know. She's only trying to get to know you. We all are." I mumble, itching to back away since the scent of him was doing things to my nerves. What cologne does he use? Lifting a thick brow that got lost under his dark loose curls, Kade snorts. " I've been to many foster homes before Ria, I know the drill. Getting to know me? Are you fucking kidding me?" I narrowed my eyes on the dick. Okay, Mia stop thinking about dick. Well, his dick. "This isn't a foster home and this isn't a drill- "Save it for someone who actually gives a damn. I'll be eighteen in a few months so tell your mom that I'll be out of her perfectly straightened hair soon." He grumbles dryly and doesn't wait for me to respond before opening the door to his room and slamming it in my face. "My name is Mia!" I yelled, groaning when I heard the click of his door indicating that he locked it. "Well starve to death jerk." Grumbling under my breath I made my way back down to the dining room only to find mom's distressed eyes and dad's worried gaze. "I didn't mean it like that- Mom starts but dad cuts her off. "It's fine baby, it's not your fault. Just give Kade some time alone." Sighing I make my way to the dining table. I was starving but right now, I wasn't sure for what."Dad is right mom. It's not your fault. He's a- A what Mia? A very handsome guy who makes your heart leap by just staring at him? "I feel so bad that he didn't get to eat the dinner. I should've kept my mouth shut." Tears beamed in mom's eyes as she looks at Kade's untouched plate. "Well if he doesn't want it, mom. I'll eat it!" Austin chirps happily. "You're not getting Kade's dinner Austin. Bella, everything will be fine. Just let the kid cool off. This is as new to him as it is for us." Dad tried to lessen on mom's guilt. Well, it's new to us as for Kade, the way he spoke, this wasn't exactly new for him. "Aw but why not? He doesn't want it!" Austin whined while pushing some mashed potatoes in his mouth. Sighing loudly dad grumbles. "He does want it Austin. Mia go bring Kade his dinner." Did they really want me to keep suffering under Kade's unwavering glare? I huffed. This was absolute torture. To have those mashed potatoes right in front of me yet, I can't feast on them because Kade keeps getting in the way. Looking at dad for a few contemplating seconds I shook my head. "Nope." That's right, I popped the p. Before he could ask why I gestured to Austin. " Let his biggest fan go this time. I'm not dealing with Mr. Moody again. At least not again tonight." Kade was seriously giving me a headache by just looking at him. Because apparently, my thoughts couldn't shut off about his huge coc- "Austin can't go because Kade's dinner will be half eaten before he even gets there." Dad pointed out, which was true. I looked over at mom and gave her what was supposed to look like puppy eyes. Hopefully, I wasn't looking like a chimpanzee. "Mom?" I whined. "It's just dinner hunny." Seeing that I didn't look like I was about to spring to action she sighs out a plea. "Please?" Groaning in defeat, I mumbled out a fine before taking Kade's untouched food and made my way upstairs. I swear they were purposely throwing me in the lion's den.Was this punishment for causing last week's diarrhea? I swore I didn't see the expiration date on the milk. Okay, Mia. You just need to knock on that door. Bang the shit out of it- Okay, my mind has wandered to that place again. Pep talking myself wasn't going exactly as planned. You know what? Fuck pep-talking, this was my house and I run this shit. Okay, maybe that was a little dramatic since mom and dad pay the bills- Okay, enough of getting sidetracked. I needed to focus and just knock. So I did. One two and three times. Still no answer. Was he dead in there? Did Freddy come to take him in his dreams? That can't be possible, today wasn't Friday. "Kade?" I called out only to hear the sound of crickets and the sound of my tapping foot. "Kade!" I called out again this time a little more aggressive than the first but you couldn't blame me. I was in desperate need to eat those mashed potatoes. Pounding on the door didn't seem to have an effect neither did calling out his name. Looking up and down the hall, I finally came up with something a little too extreme. But I was always a little too extreme. I placed the plate down on the floor and raced to my room. Thankfully it was literally just mere feet by. Grabbing a bobby pin on my dresser I run back to Kade's door. Careful to not step on the food, I crouched down until I was eye level with the keyhole. I am only doing this to check on Kade and make sure he didn't kill himself or escape through the window. Pushing the bobby pin in the keyhole, I twisted it until I heard the satisfying click sound that indicated it was unlocked. Smiling in satisfaction I pushed the bobby pin in my hair, grab the plate, rise to my feet, and opened the door. My eyes instantly fall on Kade on the bed. Headphones in as he looked at the ceiling. Entering his room fully seemed to finally grasp his attention. Snapping his eyes to me stunned, he rose in a sitting position and lifted a brow. "Come to catch another glimpse of my cock?" He asked with a lift of his lips as he removes the headphones from his ears. I cringe, walking over to his dresser because I didn't want to go near him right now. Especially since his words made me throb down there. "No. And that was by accident by the way. You should really lock the door when you're about to change." I answered and placed the plate down on the surface of the dresser.I whirl to face him and my breath gets stuck in my lungs at the blue of his eyes peering into mine so deeply. "It was locked just moments ago. What would've been your excuse this time if I were naked again?" He moves off his bed and my heart raced. Swallowing roughly, I fought with my eyes to stop staring at him. I tore them away and focused on the wall with art posters. "Look I just came to drop off your dinner. I couldn't leave it outside since there are ants." Pressing my lips together and fighting the shake of my nervous hands I started walking over to the door. "Should I be afraid that you'll come in my room tonight and grope me in my sleep?" He asked and I caught the hint of amusement in his voice. Rolling my eyes with a loud sigh I opened the door. "Don't kid yourself." With that, I walked out of his room and slammed the door. He wasn't here an entire day yet and he was already my nightmare.
