So we all know Todd is a spoiled brat who cares for no one but himself. Does he really care about Fianna? Does he like her as much as he says he does? Is he a cheating liar? Is he with her only so he can lay with her? Is he really as much of a jerk as we thought he was...?
Chapter 10:
Does He Really Care?
The next day Fianna and Todd were in the limo while Joseph drove.
"So how did it go last night?" Fianna asked.
"Terrible. I would have told you last night if you hadn't gone to sleep."
Fianna scoffed. "Excuse me for being tired Todd Ryan. It couldn't have been that bad. What happened?"
Todd sighed. "It actually wasn't too bad. It was just a regular family dinner. My parent's apparently approve of you, not that I care much about what they think."
Fianna smiled. "That's good to know. See? I told you, you didn't need me there."
Todd smirked. "It would have been nice if you had stayed. Then we could have gone up to my room and done some of this." He kissed her lips.
She giggled. "Todd." They continued their passionate kissing until they pulled up to the school but they didn't even notice.
Joseph came around and opened the door for them and saw them making out pretty hard. "Time to get out."
Fianna and Todd broke their kiss and got out of the limo and went into the school.
That weekend, Todd was at Hooter's with Tyler, Ian, and Leah.
A waitress in a tight shirt, booty shorts, and impossibly big boobs took their orders then went to get their food. Leah sighed. "Why do you guys always drag me in here with you?"
"Do you not see all this ass walking around in here?" Todd said still looking at the waitress who'd taken their orders.
"I wonder if I can get one of their number's," Tyler said.
Leah rolled her eyes. "Don't you have a girlfriend Todd? Why are you checking out all of these waitresses?"
"She's not his girlfriend, remember?" Ian said remembering how Todd had clearly stated that he and Fianna weren't dating.
She smirked. "Like I believe that. You obviously like her," she said to Todd.
Todd took a long sip of his Dr. Pepper and continued checking out the waitresses to avoid their looks.
"I bet you they've kissed," Ian said smirking.
Tyler kicked Todd's shin lightly. "So how many times have you kissed her?"
Todd tried to seem uninterested but he couldn't hide the smile creeping onto his face. "More than a few."
"I knew it!" Ian exclaimed.
"At least you have a girlfriend. Now people can stop hanging onto this ridiculous idea that we're dating," Leah said. She snickered. "I mean, who in the right mind would want to date you? This girl has obviously lost her mind."
"Shut up Leah," Todd said. "Why wouldn't a girl want to date me? I have everything a girl could want."
"But you're a brat," Leah said.
Todd glared at her. "I'm not a slutty gay doll!"
"I don't mean that kind of brat."
The provocative waitress came back with their food. After she left Tyler popped a French fry in his mouth. "So Todd, tell us. Exactly how far have you gone with this girlfriend of yours?"
Todd nearly choked on his burger. He took a sip of his soda before he answered. "What?"
"You know what I mean. Have you lost it to her?"
Ian shook his head. "Dude, Todd's probably lost his virginity a long time ago." He looked at Todd expecting an answer. "Well?"
First of all, Todd was a virgin, but of course he wouldn't let them know that. Second, Fianna clearly wasn't the type of girl to throw herself at him like that. "Calm down you guys, we've only been dating a few weeks. And she's not that kind of girl anyway."
"It's a shame that all boys think about in a relationship is sex," Leah said with a sigh.
Ian snorted. "I'm not a boy. I'm a man," he said with his mouth full of food.
"Ha, you a man? When you stop talking with food in your mouth like a three year old, that's when you're a man."
After lunch they walked down the street not going anywhere in particular. Eventually Todd went into another store and said he'd catch up with his friends later. After he came out he was stopped by some magazine reporters. Most of the time Todd didn't mind taking questions from them, but other times they just smothered him and pried a little too deep. It was when they started putting out too much of his business that he got annoyed. But lately, they'd kind of left him alone the last few weeks so he wasn't mad at them.
"Todd Ryan, can we ask you a few questions?"
"Depends on what you want to hear," he said shoving his hands into his pockets.
"We've heard you've been taken out of McRyan High. Who's going to replace you?"
Was this really what they were saying about him now? Todd usually read those magazines but lately he'd been so distracted he had no idea what was going on. "Who told you that? It's only temporary."
"Some people spotted you out with a girl the other day."
"Is she your girlfriend?"
"Or are you cheating on Leah?"
"Okay first off Leah and I were never dating. And that other girl, we're not dating either," he said. His phone buzzed. He checked it and it was Ian wondering where he was. "I've got to go." He pushed past them and went to go find his friends.
The next morning, Fianna was sitting on her living room couch in her pajamas next to her mother finishing off a bowl of cereal for breakfast. The celebrity news was on. Normally Fianna never paid any attention to it; she was just waiting for My Wife and Kids to come on.
"Why does anyone ever care what celebrities are doing all day when we have our own lives to live?" Fianna said.
"Honey, today's generation is all about the media," her mother said.
"But still, when Kim Kardashian goes to get some coffee I don't need to know about it." She smirked. "The only celebrity I care about is my Todd."
"Then look at the TV."
Fianna looked at the TV and saw a picture of her and Todd on their date. "Hey, where'd they get that picture?"
"Last week, Todd Ryan was spotted out with a girl at Vine Street in Hollywood. It raised the question; does Todd have a new girlfriend? Why hadn't he opened up about her before? He was confronted yesterday afternoon and when asked about this mysterious girl, he said they weren't dating. Only that she was a fan and knew nothing about her."
"WHAT?" Fianna exclaimed standing up and knocking her cereal onto the floor. "I don't believe him! After all we've been through he acts like he doesn't know me? What's his problem?" Before her mother could respond, she stomped off to her room to get ready for school.
Her mother cleaned up the cereal then sat back on the couch. Fianna came back out looking mad. "Are you okay dear?"
"I'm going to give that bastard a piece of my mind!" she said heading for the door. "Hey mom, can you take me to school?"
"Doesn't Todd usually take you?"
"I'm mad at him!"
When Fianna got to school she didn't see Todd but when she did she had some words for him. Why would Todd say that? Why wouldn't he want people to know they were dating? Was he dating someone else, was that why he didn't want people to know? The thought was like a punch in the face. She really cared about Todd and lately she felt like she loved him. What if what she thought was true?
She leaned against her locker sadly.
Suddenly Todd came next to her. "Hey babe." He put his arms around her waist and tried to kiss her but she pushed him away leaving him confused. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"Why did you say that yesterday?"
"Say what?" he said raising his eyebrow.
"That we aren't dating Todd! I saw it on TV this morning. Why don't you want anyone to know? Are you embarrassed about it or something? Is there someone else?"
"Fianna…"
"Why didn't you say we were together…?"
Todd put his hand over her mouth. "Would you shut up and let me talk!" He removed his hand and Fianna stopped talking. "Fianna the only reason I said that is so they'll leave you alone."
Fianna was surprised by that. "Huh?"
"Do you realize that I get little to no privacy in my life? Every time I set foot outside the gates of my house someone knows about it and it's in some magazine. People are always following me and its freaking annoying. I didn't want them to follow you around like that and invade your personal life, that's why I said you were just a fan. Why the hell would there be someone else? If I didn't care about you, would I tell you all this shit I've never told anyone else?"
Once again Todd Ryan had silenced her. She felt so guilty for thinking those things about him. And she thought it was sweet that he cared about her enough to protect her from the paparazzi like he did. She hugged him. "Todd I'm so sorry. I don't know why I jumped to conclusions like that."
He kissed her lips. "It's okay, just don't do it again." They kissed again. He smirked. "Close your eyes."
She closed her eyes like he said and felt him put something around her neck. Then his lips trailed from her earlobe down to her neck. "What are you doing?" she asked giggling.
"Open your eyes."
She did and saw a beautiful diamond necklace on her. "Oh my god…"
"If I didn't love you would I have bought you that?"
He said he loved her. Neither of them had said it yet and hearing it made a smile form on her face. It was the greatest thing anyone had ever told her, she felt all warm and mushy inside. "I love you too Todd." She kissed his lips once again then looked down at her necklace. "I can't believe you bought this. It looks so expensive."
Todd shrugged. "Only $1,000, it wasn't too bad."
Fianna's eyes got wide. "One thousand ollars? You spent $1,000 on me?" she exclaimed.
Todd shrugged. "What's so bad about that?"
"It's…it's just…that's a lot of money," she finally said not being able to think of something else.
"You really have a problem with people spending money on you, don't you? Okay then, I'll take it back," he said holding his hand out for it.
Fianna ran her fingers across the diamonds of her necklace. "I never said I didn't want it." The five minute bell rang. "We've gotta go to homeroom."
Todd put his hand on her shoulder and pushed her against her locker then leaned down to kiss her neck. "No we don't."
"What are you talking about? Yeah we do."
He only smirked then took her hand and pulled her into a closet. "Let's spend homeroom in here," he said laying kisses on her face and neck.
Fianna gripped onto him enjoying this even though she knew she shouldn't be. "What have you done to me? I used to be a good girl before I met you."
"You've got to take a walk on the wild side sometimes babe." He kissed her lips hard.
"How did I ever end up in love with such a horny celebrity?"
He looked into her eyes for a moment. "Luck."
Of course he's not! He loves Fianna!
