Its So Easy To Hate You.
Cody Martin, the man who had billion dollar empire, was stopped on a deserted street on the sight of a girl being threaten...he normally didn't help out much but he still was a human. He got out of the car and just then he noticed that the frighten looking girl was the same who threw juice at him a day ago. At one point he thought to just leave but he couldn't be that harsh. Besides, what one girl did to him was not in anyway her fault. He approached them and was suddenly puzzled. He had no idea what would he do to get out of this safely and to take the girl as well. For one, the guys were two and second, they were obviously much tougher than him. It was also the fact that he hated violence so he was not the one to get involved in it in anyway. His mind started racing when suddenly he got an idea...
Meanwhile Bailey couldn't quite understand what he was doing...sure he was there which meant he'd help her but how? He was not even moving a muscle. Bailey was almost about to give up on her hopes of him doing something when he shouted...
"YOU! How could you do this to me?"
Bailey looked at him surprised. That was the perfect timing for him to remind her about the juice incident? Bailey thought this guy was even more stupid than she thought he was. She wanted to say something but before she could, he continued...
"You knew right? You knew about this all along and still you...you...I mean you did that to me? How could you be so inhuman?"
Now this guy in front of her was actually crying...Bailey couldn't understand...was he really such a baby? What did she even do? This time one of the two thugs spoke up...
"Look, dude. I don't know what she did to you, but stay out of this right now, kay? Or I'm gonna beat yo face"
The rich guy wiped a tear from his eyes and calmly tapped the guy's shoulder...
"Buddy, I'm not even coming in your way but I just have one thing to say to her then you can take her anywhere you want..."
Bailey couldn't believe it but the thugs actually agreed. The one holding her hand let it go and stood there waiting patiently until the rich dude was finished talking..."Really? Thats how these things work?" Bailey thought...However the rich guy wasn't finished...
"I just got my reports back...you know what they say? I'll show you what they say..."
He ran towards his car and took out a file from his front seat then got back to where Bailey was standing and opened it in front of her face and yelled...
"SEE...look at it yourself...how can you be so cruel?"
Bailey was still very puzzled but looked at the file anyway. She immediately made out that it was just a contract file with a bunch of claws and agreements...she looked at him indifferently and was about to say something when he tightly grabbed her arm and pulled her closer towards him...he was so close to him now that Bailey who was already having a hard time to think went straight out blank...
"You had AIDS and you didn't tell me? You gave me AIDS...damn you."
With one fluid motion he released his grip on her and was now fake crying...
"WHAT?"
Both the thugs shouted in unison...Bailey was now getting his idea...the guys who were supposedly there to assault her would now leave thinking she had AIDS.. Bailey was having a hard time holding back her laughter now...this rich guy was actually not stupid at all...but then she saw him moving towards them to show the file he had in his hand..."I change my mind, he is stupid..."
He opened the file in front of them and cried...
"Look at this, my medical reports...she betrayed me...now I'll die in a matter of days..."
Now he was actually sobbing...the thugs looked closely at the file and Bailey was waiting for them to do something like..."you think we're stupid" thing but all they did was hug the rich guy...
"It'll be okay, man...take care..."
Bailey looked at them surprised...but her surprise was not over yet...both the guys told each other together..."Lets get out of here, bro..." before they made a run for it..
As soon as the thugs were out of sight, the Richie rich turned around and slightly laughed.. Bailey was thinking he'd come there to talk to her but he walked passed by her...She couldn't let him go like that...through this insanely twisted idea, he did help her...
"But how?"
He turned around and looked at her very seriously...all the amusement that they previously were sharing was vanished
"Pardon me?" He asked...
"You showed them your business deal file but they didn't pick up on the fact that it was not a medical report?"
The guy laughed..."There's no way that people looking like them and doing what they were doing could be literate. And if you actually thought that they were? Then you're the one who's illiterate..."
"HEY!" Bailey exclaimed but the guy didn't seem to have cared. He got into his car, started it and turned it around to go. Even though he helped her, he still was the same rude, ego-maniac kind of a guy. He was leaving her like that all alone when just a few minutes ago she was about to get..."never mind" she thought...she had feet and should walk herself...she took the very first step when the guy stopped the car right beside her...pulling down his glass he looked at her...
"Do you want to be home alive or not?"
"Huh?" Bailey asked...
He sighed quite loudly for Bailey to not only hear but to be annoyed by it as well..."You're still as stupid as I left you a day ago...I meant get in the car...I'll drop you on the road..."
Bailey couldn't understand him...at one point he was being considerate but at the same time insulting her? She got in the car because even she didn't want to take the chances of facing the same thing again.
As soon as she sat in his car, she marvelled at how beautiful it was...and the drive? Wow! The only drive she ever experienced was of a cab...or a subway...
"This is possibly the greatest experience of my life...you have an AWESOME car"
Bailey said excitedly...she then looked at him and he was just focused on the road, not even a single muscle moving to turn his frown in to a smile...
"Just so you know, I complimented your car and this is the time you're suppose to say 'thank you'..."
When he still didn't respond, Bailey continued..."Well...Thank you for today...I seriously had my doubts that you'd help me...and I had no idea that you'd save me by giving me 'pretend AIDS'..." She used air quotes for pretend aids and laughed..."So thank you so much for all the help..."
Bailey again waited for a while for him to say something but this guy still didn't budge...didn't even look at her...she was now finding it rude but she decided to let it go considering she owed him a little for his help...
"Hello?" She asked..."I said Thank you...now you're suppose to say 'you're welcome'..."
To Bailey's surprise, the rich dude turned his head slightly towards her..."I would say that but that'd be a lie...you're not welcome..." Then he turned back his head to keep his focus on the road...
Bailey was fighting her inner anger. She was trying her best to not blow up on this guy...she told herself to remain calm and she just smiled...
"Whatever you want, suit yourself." She paused..."well, since we've already met eachother twice in the past two days, we should get know to eachother, right?"
"I don't wanna know you..."
The guy said so quickly as if Bailey had asked for something that was illegal...
"Okay..." Bailey said between the girding of her teeth and her best plastered fake smile..."I'm Bailey Pickett, by the way..."
"Don't care."
Bailey's anger was now on the very peak...she couldn't hold it anymore...she wanted to slap the rudeness out of this Richie rich...
"Hey! That's so rude...I'm trying to be friendly here and all I'm getting is your...well your snobby attitude...are you always like that? Don't you ever give this a rest? Do you EVER smile? Do you know the meaning of..."
"You know what's really rude?" Bailey was cut off by him..."You sitting in my car at almost midnight, after I saved you from a possible assault and here you are saying all of this...this crap about me..."
Bailey just looked at him...he did have a point. He did her a big favour and she was just expecting too much. Why did she want him to be nice and friendly anyway?
"I'm sorry..." Bailey said and waited but once again there was no response..."do I have to tell you everything? Now you're suppose to say 'its okay' you know? To make me feel a little better..."
This time the guy turned around and smiled. Bailey was surprised to see that but soon her surprise was over when he spoke up...
"You know what you're suppose to do right now? Stop talking. Because when someone doesn't reply, they're just trying to give you the hint that they're not interested...do you get it now...what was your name? Yeah, get it, Bailey?"
Bailey suddenly felt angry once again...she thought this guy made it so easy for her to hate him. He was the snobbiest rich person she has ever met...she was about to say something when the guy spoke up again...
"And just because we've met more than once, that doesn't mean we have to be anything more than 'PERSON' to eachother...I still hate you...more than you can even imagine..."
"What?" Bailey was now fuming..."I don't even want to be anything with...you. I've never met anyone who's so...so rude and snobby and..."
"I know what I am.." He said carelessly..."Just do one thing and please stop talking...this drive is already hard for me...don't make it any harder by talking. Its hard enough to just look at your face..."
Bailey Pickett never felt that angry in her life. She shouted now on top of her lungs..."YOU ARE VERY MEAN! What's wrong with my face? Did you give me a ride to just insult me? You don't have any manners. You don't even know how to talk to a girl. MAN! Didn't your father teach you anything?"
Bailey blurted everything out but this time the guy didn't have a careless expression rather very hurt. He suddenly stopped the car and looked at her...
"Out!"
Bailey looked at him surprised..."But?" She asked...
"The road is here...I told you I'd drop you on the main road...you'll easily find a cab here...now leave..."
Bailey looked outside and sure enough they were on the road...she turned back to look at him...he still had the same hurt in his eyes. Bailey thought it could be because of something she said so she decided to apologise...
"I'm sorry if I sai..."
She was cut off by him again..."I don't care. Don't need your sorry...just don't waste anymore of my time, please."
Bailey's sympathies went away. He was so rude that it was hard to be nice to him...
"FINE!" Bailey said and got out...and before she could say anything...he drove off...
"FOR THE RECORD I HATE YOU TOO!" She shouted back as the car drove off...
"What a jerk!" She mumbled. There was a problem with the rich people. She couldn't help but wonder why all of a sudden all these rich snobs came in her life? First Mr Tipton then that Zack Martin and this 'Richie rich' was on top of her list..."my life has gotten a lot more interesting than it was..." Bailey Pickett thought as she called out a cab and made her way to her home.
xxxxxxx
Cody Martin entered his house at past midnight. He didn't have the energy to even walk. The last hour of his day was clearly the cherry on top of his cake. He sighed,..for one, he wished he'd never have to see that girl again. He was just about to go upstairs when Zack came from behind shouting his name...
"Cody Cody Cody Cody Cody...I have to tell you something..."
"STOP!" Cody shouted on his brothers ridicules excitement..."I can't take this anymore..."
"Take what?" Zack asked him confused...
"This excitement...these every day adventures, okay?" Cody paced back and forth..."this is not me, this is not the Cody Martin I know. This is NOT MY LIFE. I used to have this perfectly scheduled out life. I go to work, I come back, I sleep and then it starts over again. What's with all these 'excitements' coming along? First I ran into this girl who threw juice at me...then you wanted to see London Tipton...just like that out of nowhere...then there's mom keep telling me to have some fun...and do you have ANY IDEA from where I'm coming from right now? I ran into this 'juice girl' again and I had to tell these two ugly looking thugs that I had AIDS which I got from HER...can you believe that? Then I had to drive her back to the road. Man, she talks too much. I want rest, Zack..." Cody held on to both sides of Zack's shoulders..."I want my freakin' life back"
Zack just stared at his brother...was he crazy or something? "Ohkaayyy!" He moved Cody's hands from his shoulders and got out of his tight grip..." You're right...you need rest." Zack patted his back..."Go sleep...we'll talk tomorrow..."
With that Zack turned around and walked off. Cody stood there for a few minutes before he too turned around and went to his room and crashed...just few minutes with a girl and his life already seemed on the road of change. Was Bailey Pickett really a key to Cody Martin's happiness?
