Teaser.~
Irresistible. boyxboy
I want to say thank you guys so much for the support, it makes me so unbelieveably happy! So I wrote a little teaser of the first chapter. It's not the whole chapter but half of it. Enjoy.~
Today was the day.
The day I've been silently dreading....well not silently. I think everyone knew that I dreaded today, if they didn't they were deaf as I was a very vocal person.
"Cedric?" My best friend, Cecilia questioned.
"Yes?" I lifted my gaze from my cosmo magazine.
"I asked what you were going to do?" She lifted an eyebrow.
"Hmm, I dont know, " I sighed out, "I know my mother won't let me not go. I really just wanna stay here with you for ever! Cecy bear." I whined.
She crossed her arms over her chest, "I love you too, but you can't just not go."
"You're on my mothers side? Get out of here!" Â I huffed out.
"Stop being such a drama queen. You have to go." she glanced down at her magazine and turned the page.
I glared at her, "I know I have to, doesn't mean I'm going to like it and make it any easier on anyone."
She stood up and tossed her magazine down, "Cedric lets go. You've been here long enough, you have to go home and get ready to get on your flight. God knows you should have been packed before 5 hours until your flight."
Sighing I slowly got up from her bed, "Why do you have to be on her side?"
"Because I couldn't imagine not knowing my father, nows your chance to make things right with yours. To be able to have that relationship with him, I know you've wanted it all your life."
Rolling my eyes, "Whatever, I'm going." She was right I did crave that father-son relationship, wondered how it would have been if he were here. But he wasn't and it's pretty much too late, what if he didn't like me the way I am?
"Cedric, would you like for me to see you off?"
"Would be nice to have my best friend see me off on the most dreadful day of my life! What if you never see me again? What if he's a killer?"
"He has two kids and a wife, I doubt he's a killer!" She pointed out. Cutting me deep, yeah his family. Â The one I wasn't apart of.
"Killers have families all the time." I walked out of her room, glancing down at my phone. Five missed phone calls from mom, uh oh.
Following after me, "Don't be so negative! You'll thank us for this one day."
"Yeah yeah yeah. I'm leaving."
"Be at your house in 4 hours!"
"Yup!" I yelled back at her, skipping to her front door, walking out and shutting it behind me. I skipped across her lawn to mine. One of the many pluses about having a best friend who lived next door to you. Could easily go to her house.
As I walked inside of my house I heard my mom shuffling around, I tip toed inside afraid to startle the evil witch of the west!
"Cedric I know you're in here." She walked around the corner in front of me and she didn't look happy.
"Mommy! How are you mommy?" I said while batting my eyelashes.
"I've been calling you young man, why haven't you been answering? Nevermind don't answer that I already know, now go upstairs and make sure you're ready to go. I don't want to have to wait for you when its time to leave."
"B-." I started to protest.
"Get up there now."
"Oh alright...." I headed for the stairs and ran up them.
Mothers, gotta love 'em. I giggled outloud.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Shake shake shake!" I sang while swaying my hips, "Shake that bootay!" I gracefully did a little twirl around my room, "It's gettin' hot in here! So take off all your clothes!" I sang loudly while taking my shirt off seductively and swinging it above my head, finally throwing it across the room.
In middle of another twirl I came to an abrupt halt to see my mother in my doorway with her hands on her hips, glaring at me.
Pausing my music on my IPod, I lifted an eyebrow, "Yes mother?" She was obviously ruining ME time.
"Don't, "Yes mother" me," She rolled her eyes, "Do you have any idea what time it is?"
"No, of course not!" Of course I knew what time it was. I glanced around for my shirt, spotted it and headed in the direction of it once I got to it I slipped it back on.
"Cedric, don't start now. Where are your bags?" She glanced around my room.
"The magical bag fairy already took my bags away," I sighed, "She just swooped in without my permission and took them! Can you believe that bitch?"
"Cedric! Hold your tongue!" She scolded.
"Hold my tongue? I guess if you really INSIST, I mean that's a pretty weird thing to demand of me..." I went to grab my tongue with my fingers.
She sighed, "I am not in the mood for this, pack your bags before we are late."
Dropping my fingers from my mouth I complained, "But mom! Why do I have to go see this person?" I flopped on my bed dramatically and grabbed my pillow hugging it close.
"He's your father, Cedric." She pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a sigh.
"He's not my father, he's someone who helped "make" me," I growled out, "No way in hell is that man my father."
"What did I say about holding your tongue?" She snapped.
I sighed, "Yes ma'am," after a few seconds of silence, I pleaded, "Do I really have to go?"
"Yes, he wants to make things right." She gave me a reassuring smile, "I will pack your bags for you if you don't do it yourself so you might as well do it."
"After 16 years? What is that bologna?" I stood up feeling defeated and started gathering my things, I can't believe this bull crap.
"Maybe you'll like him more than you think, you have 15 minutes before we have to leave, I'm going to get a few things and then I'll meet you down stairs." She said as she headed out of my room.
"Yeah yeah yeah..." I grabbed all of my things and tossed it into my bag and zipped it up, not caring if my clothes got wrinkly.
I let out a frustrated sigh, What is this? This is total bull! Why does this man all of a sudden want to be "buddy buddy" with me after 16 years?! Does he think I'll be happy to see him? Boy was he wrong!
I glanced down at my IPod that was still in my hand and looked at it lovingly, what would I do without you, my love? You mean the world to me. You're all I ever need in life! No one else or nothing else could replace you.
"Cedric! What's taking you so long? Chop chop chop! The plane wont wait for you."
"Pffft, I'm sure they're waiting for me right now, they couldn't possibly leave without the amazing me," I yelled down, stuffing my IPod in my pocket.
She scoffs, "You never cease to amaze me my dear child. Now get your butt down here so we can go."
Frowning, I look around my room and give it one last look, well I guess....this is farewell! I put a hand to my forehead and faked sadness. I grabbed my bag and turned on my heel and headed down stairs.
"Well its about damn time, Jesus." She crossed her arms over her chest, "lets go, Cecilia is already waiting in the car."
"Fine," I walked slowly to moms car dragging my luggage with me.
"Cedric..." Her tone clearly meaning she meant business.
"Okay I get it!" I moved quicker, popping open the trunk of her car and tossed my luggage in the trunk. Closing her trunk I headed to the front seat, opened the door, climbed in and slammed the door shut.
"Cedric!" Cecilia exclaimed happily.
"Cecy." I grumbled out.
"Oh come on Cedric, it really won't be all that bad." she put her hand on my shoulder and gave a small squeeze.
"Yeah..." I sighed out.
This was totally not fair. I really didn't want to see this man but I couldn't stop myself from feeling a little curious, what did this guy want? Why did he all of a sudden want to meet me? Why did he leave us? and the more I thought about the more I realized I had no idea where I was going.
"So where does this guy exactly live?" I voiced my question once my mom got in the car.
"Jesus you don't know where he lives? We've been talking about this for months." She stuck the key in the ignition and turned it on and started toward the closest airport.
"Cedric, even I know where he lives." Cecilia rolled her eyes.
"Yeah well it seems you're the only one who seems to care about his father," My mom pointed out.
"Yeah well why would I be interested in where this man lives? Since he clearly wasn't interested in where I lived in the last 16 years?"
She sighed, "This will be harder than we thought." She gave Cecilia a sad look one that Cecilia returned.
"You betcha, now where is this guy located?"
"He lives in Indiana, he's always been a fan of the country." She murmered.
"Oh nice," I guess that could be interesting, I've always lived in the city, " wake me up when we get to the airport." Before they could answer I pulled my IPod out and put my headphones in my ears and blared some Black Veil Brides. Before I knew it my headphones was taken out of my ears and I was being shaken awake.
"Cedric, honey? We're at the airport."
I groaned while opening my eyes and turned my head to where my mother and Cecilia were standing outside the vehicle with my door wide open. "Ugh, okay."
"I already grabbed your bag out of the trunk," Cecilia lifted up my bag showing me she did indeed grab it already.
"Thanks, I guess." Â I got out of the car and took my bag from Cecilia and headed toward the doors of the airport.
Before I knew it I was hugging my mom goodbye, "Be good darling, try to be nice to him, he's trying now and that's all that matters. Who cares about the past?"
I do. "Yeah yeah yeah, I'll try." I rolled my eyes.
She gave me a peck on the cheek, "I'm serious, now get going the plane wont wait forever." She smiled.
"Oh it will," Pecking her on her cheek I pulled away, "Love you mom, I'll call you when I'm all settled in at that mans place."
"His name is Richard."
"Right, Richard." I scrunched up my nose.
I turned to my best friend, "Cecy bear," I whined, "I'm going to miss you so much. What am I going to do without you?"
She pulled me into a hug, "I'm not going anywhere, we can facetime or something."
I hope that we could, "Well lets hope so." I frowned and pulled away.
Looking at my mom and her, "I love you guys."
They both mummbled out that they loved me too.
"Now get going." Cecilia said.
"Yes you enjoy your time with yoru father! He's always been a fun man, " She gave me a push in the right direction.
I scoffed,"Okay."
We wouldn't need to go through this if he hadn't walked out of our life, why is she so okay with this? He wanted nothing to do with me until now.
I walked away and headed to my destination, I turned my head back to see Cecilia waving her hand excitedly, I waved back.
Turning forward again I glanced down at my ticket and mummbled, "Platform C here I come."
~~~~~~~
Pulling out my headphones from my ears I took a step off the plane.
I exhaled, Finally.
I looked around, no signs saying, Hi Cedric! Welcome to Indiana!
My heart started pounding and my stomach was in knots, I didn't realize how nervous I was. Would he like me? Why did it matter? I didn't like him. I'm sure he'd know that the second we met too.
With one last look around I shrugged, in that moment I heard my stomach growl, I guess a little snack wouldn't hurt.
I walked forward wheeling my bag behind me in search of a vending machine. In my search I heard heels pounding hard on the ground, sheesh.
"We're late!" A male voice said, "If you hadn't taken forever this morning we would have been here early!"
"I didn't realize it was going to take me that long to get Rachel ready!" A female voice mumbled, "Oliver hurry up!"
They came flying around the corner and I couldn't help but chuckle, they looked so messed up. The womans hair was flying all over the place with her purse sliding off her shoulder, a baby bag and her hand held a little girls hand. A teenage boy was in the back with his hands in his pockets walking slowly while they were rushing. The man was in the front shaking his head.
Hey he looked familiar....My eyes widened..
"Jesus Cynthia, what a great first impression! He's bound to hate me now. Could you not be a woman for one day in my life?"
"I'm sorry dear!" She said out of breath, she turned to the little girl next to her, "Move a little quicker Rachel dear."
Lifting my hand to wave, "U-..." I was caught off by them running past me. I turned as they ran past me, my eyes following them.
Really?
My stomach dropped, he didn't even recognize me.

Here's the little teaser! I hope it's as satisfying! Remember this isn't the whole first chapter! It's just half of it. :) I'm not sure when I will post the rest. I'm just starting. I want to have more than just one chapter before I post more of it. :)
So what did you guys think? Lemme know! Please and thank you. :D
Also question, should I just make a whole new book of irresistible of this? OR just replace the chapters in this one?
The video is what I listened to while writing this :)
