Jayda's POV
I am so fucking unlucky!
How the hell did Maddox find out I was here?
I take a deep breath before I start hyperventilating.
Maddox is standing there in all his handsome glory with a sweet smile but his eyes looked deadly.
"Who are you?" Carson asks, while puffing his chest out and glaring at Maddox.
"Maddox Franco, I am Jayda's boyfriend. And you are?" Maddox says holding out his hand for Carson
to shake.
"Carson Stevenson" he says and starts shaking it only to wince when Maddox grip tightens.
I look to my right side to see Ellie is trying to hold in her laughter. Her eyes showing how amused she
was of the whole situation.
I roll my eyes, she will never change. She always laughs when other people are miserable . I give her a
dirty look and turn towards Nikki.
Now, I was expecting Nikki to have the same horrified look I had plastered on my face but she was
looking down at her hand guiltily.
"U-um Maddox what a-are you doing her-e?" I stutter making his smile widen.
"Well my dear girlfriend, when you left I decided on joining you and the girls." He states simply then
turns to Carson. "Are you waiting for somebody else? A date perhaps? Because Jayda is not the only
one with a boyfriend. Ellie and Nikki are also taken. And they are tough guys, they aren't chill like me. If
they saw you here they would surely get the wrong impression and think you are trying to take their
woman away" Maddox says with a pointed look and drags a chair from another table and puts it in
between Nikki and I.
"No, we came here as friends" Carson says with a scowl.
Maddox hums an answer and starts looking at the menu. Ellie finally burst out laughing.
"Maddox, I swear this is not what it looks like I well, you see-" I start whispering in his ear but he quickly
cuts me off.
"Later" he mumbles without sparring me a glance.
"So Carson, what do you do for a living?" Maddox asks looking him straight in the eye while putting his
arm around my back, pulling me closer and pecking my cheek.
I know he is doing this to stake his claim on me and that he is super pissed at me but I can't help the
butterflies I feel in my stomach when he did that.
"I am stil in college so I can't work" Carson says.
"There are many people who study and work" Maddox points out then adds bluntly "It's not that you
can't but that you are too lazy to actually get one"
"Excuse me?" Carson says with a scowl.
"What? Oh please don't tell me I hurt your feelings? Like seriously I am saying the truth and we all
know it" Maddox says with a shrug and goes back to looking at the menu.
"Hello, my name is Karla and I'll be your waitress this evening. Can I offer you guys something to
drink?" Says A young waitress dressed in a white button up shirt, black jeans and and a black apron.
I would probably call her pretty if she wasn't eyeing my mate as if he were a piece of meat. But since
she is I immediately dislike her.
Maddox looks at Ellie, Nikki and I expectingly.
Awwwwn so cute, he wants the ladies to order first. Suck a gentleman.
"Coke" Nikki, Ellie and I say in unison.
'Karla' nods and turns to the guys.
"And what would the guys want?"
"I want a sprite" Carson mumbles. The waitress turns to Maddox.
"And you?" She asks, batting her eyelashes at my mate making me my hands fist at my side.
"I would like a beer" he says politely, oblivious to the fact that the girl has the hots for him.
She nods eagerly. "Uhh, aren't you going to ask for my ID?" He asks raising an eyebrow at her.
"No need for that love, you look man enough for me" she winks at him squeezing his bicep once then
runs off to get our drinks.
Maddox expression was really funny and if I wasn't panning many ways to kill the waitress I would've
laughed. His expression was as if he had eaten something sour.
A few minutes later the Karla the waitress comes back with our drinks.
"Here you go, have you decided what you will be eating?" She chirps
Maddox turns to us "What you girls like?" He asks.
"I want a lasagna please" Ellie says smiling politely at the girl.
"What is the Chicken Saltimbocca made of, is it just chicken?" I ask the waitress.
"Well, the 'Saltimbocca' is a combination of Italian terms that means, "jumps into one's mouth." Most of
these dishes combine a meat, such as chicken, with prosciutto ham, spinach, and mozzarella cheese"
the waitress says, smiling proudly of herself for remembering that.
"I will have that" I say not even looking at her.
"I want a just want spaghetti and meatballs" Nikki shrugs.
"What would you like handsome?" She asks Maddox.
"The Fettuccine alfredo please" Maddox answers politely. She sighs dreamily then turns to Carson.
"I want the Chicken parmigiana, it looks good" she nods, writing all of the orders in her little notebook
then excusing herself.
"Maddox why didn't you bring Luke?" Nikki asks and Ellie adds "and Kyle, you should've brought them
with you"
Maddox shrugs "You should've brought them yourself"
"Jayda didn't let us tell them" Ellie says pouting making glare at her.
Maddox rolls his eyes and mutters "of course"
"I just umm-" I start and Maddox cuts me off. "Wanted to meet with your ex without me finding out" he
wrongly finishes my sentence, I mean not so wrongly but its just ugh, i don't even know.
I didn't dare to speak to Carson since I know it would piss Maddox off and I was hoping that Carson
didn't talk to me.
"So Jayda, I drove by your place the other day and you weren't there" Carson trails off.
Of course when what I want to happen happens? My life sucks.
"Why would you drive by her house, thats creepy" Nikki blurts out and Maddox nods in agreement.
"Well, I moved" I say vaguely.
"With me, she moved in with me" Maddox adds with a smirk.
"What? How can you move in with him? How long have you guys even been dating" he says, his voice
rising.
"That is not really any of your business Carson, she did dump you a long time ago" Maddox replies
calmly.
"You told him everything?" He asks, his voice sounding hurt making me feel guilty.
"Not everything, she didn't tell me she was meeting you here" Maddox says with a sarcastic smile.
"How could you tell him about us?" Carson asks sadly.
Maddox scoffs and rolls his eyes and I send him a warning glare.
