"What do you want, Henry?" I asked, jerking my wrist away from him.
Meet Henry Lincoln III. Harry's brother. An asshole to be honest. He's in college now but he's still a jerk towards everyone. Their parents know how much violent Henry can be and yet they work abroad, leaving Harry alone with Henry. Parents are definitely weird.
He gave me an innocent smile. "Mind telling me where my brother is?" Henry asked.
I gave him a shrug. "I don't know where Harry is." I lied. "What did you do to him now?"
"Don't you dare lie to me, Callie. I ca—"
"You can what?" I asked, cutting him off. "Are you seriously going to threatened me in front of all these people here? You really are dumber than you look." I concluded with a straight face.
"Tell me where my brother is and we won't have any problems."
"Goodbye, Henry." I turned around but didn't get any far since he grabbed my wrist again, pulling me back.
Maybe I should get a restraining order against him too.
"Look, Callie." he started, roughly. "Tell me where Harry is or I swear to God I—"
"You'll what?" Rhys asked, his brows furrowed as he stared at Henry. Henry paled upon seeing the raven haired boy. Even, I did. Rhys' aura right now is very much terrifying. "Go on. Continue on what you were saying." he said, coldly.
"Who the hell are you?" Henry asked, letting me go. He sounded mad.
"I'm the guy who can put you in jail for this harassment." Rhys said in a serious tone which caused Henry to flinch a bit. "So, please leave her alone and don't ever approach her again. If I ever see you approaching her again, I'll make sure you regret it." he threatened with a smile plastered on his face.
"Screw the both of you." he said before quickly walking away from us.
I sighed in relief. "Thank you, Montecillio." I said. "I owe you again."
He shook his head. "Who the hell was that?" Rhys asked. "Why was he threatening you?"
I waved him off. "It's nothing you need to concern yourself." I said, before walking back inside the arcade.
I gave the two of them the tokens before the went away to play. I kept taking cute pictures of Shane. Unfortunately, Rhys' ugly face was there too.
The entire time we were in the arcade, I couldn't help but notice that Rhys kept staring at me. Like he was waiting for a reaction to happen. Whenever I look back, he smiles before looks away. Weirdo. Literally weirdo.
We went to the food court again since we wanted a snack. Rhys was the one who offered to buy while Shane and I sat down close to the food stall where Rhys was buying.
"Callie."
"Yes, Shane?" I asked.
"Are you okay?" Shane asked, quietly. "You've been frowning since we were in the arcade. Did you and Rhys fought?" he asked while he was playing with the hem of his jacket.
I chuckled, softly. "No, we didn't fight. I'm fine, Shane." I answered.
"Here you go, Shane. One corndog." Rhys said with a small smile on his face. He handed the food to the little boy before sitting down next to me.
I think this is the day I've seen Rhys Montecillio smile. It's odd to see him smile since I've been used to him always frowning or a straight look on his face. This is truly a sight to see.
While the two boys were talking, I pulled out my phone to text my brothers that I might not be able to eat dinner with them since Shane was having a good time with Rhys. I don't want to be a bad person and pull him away from him.
After eating at the food court, we played a few more games at the arcade before Shane started to feel sleepy. Before I knew it, Rhys crouched down to Shane's level, offering to let him ride on his back. Shane agreed and quickly fell asleep on Rhys' back.
"Can we head to the bookstore for a minute, Montecillio? I've been meaning to buy a book." I asked, glancing at Rhys.
He reluctantly nodded. "Sure."
I smiled, brightly at him before made our way to the bookstore. I thought that he wouldn't allow it but thank goodness he did.
"Stay here." I said before entering the bookstore. I was searching for a specific book. My eyes brighten when I saw the books I've been meaning to buy.
"I thought that you were buying only one book." Rhys said from behind, making my skin jump.
"I need new books." I muttered before walking over to the counter. I placed my credit card on the counter which the lady gladly swiped. "Is he getting heavy?" I asked.
Rhys shook his head. "It's fine. Don't worry about it." he said.
"Your child is very cute." the woman at the counter said. "Though, both of you seem to be a bit young to have a child." she commented once more before handing me the paperbag filled with five books.
"We aren't together." Rhys and I said in unison which made the woman flush with embarrassment.
"Sorry." she said, sheepishly.
I just nodded before we walked away. Why does almost everyone assumes that every guy I'm with is my boyfriend?
"Are you taking a cab?" Rhys asked.
"Nope. I drove here." I said, proudly.
He snorted. "You sound so proud." he replied. "Aren't you a good driver?"
I shrugged. "I don't know. I haven't drove that much because my brothers are too paranoid but they allow me this time." I explained.
"You do sound like a bad driver." he groaned. "Give me your keys." he said.
I furrowed my brows. "Why?" I asked.
"I'll drive you home. I don't want you getting this cute kid in yhe hospital with your terrible driving." he commented a bit too harsh for my liking.
I raised my middle finger at him. "I'm perfectly fine with driving by myself, Montecillio."
"Have you driven at night?"
I stayed silent for a second before answering. "No."
"Give me your keys, Calistine."
