Chapter 5: New Things

Eric's POV

I waited at the door and when the door flung open Oliver immediately groaned. I smirked as he rolled his eyes then walked past me. I chuckled and turned around to follow him.

"Do you mind?" he grumbled as he walked down the hall and I followed him humming.

"Nope, not at all." I said smirking and heard him huff before he turned to look at me.

"Well I do." he said and I shrugged as he huffed again, turning away from me. I followed him down the hallway and down the stairs.

"Oliver!" a voice yelled making me look behind me raising an eyebrow at the boy who ran our way and I glanced at Oliver who was at the bottom of the stairs.

"He-Hey." Oliver waved smiling then glanced at me awkwardly and I raised my eyebrow more.

"Who's this guy following ya?" the boy asked then gasped and smirked. "You didn't get in trouble with the law did ya?" he asked walking down the stairs to Oliver which I followed slowly.

"I'm not like my cousin." Oliver huffed.

"Who's this?" I asked pointing at the boy with my thumb and Oliver sighed.

"Bodyguard Wyatt, Wyatt bodyguard." he said and I glared.

"Woah cool you have a bodyguard!" Wyatt practically yelled and Oliver covered his mouth glaring.

"Not so loud." Oliver grumbled as Wyatt pouted and I rolled my eyes while Oliver took his hand away from Wyatt's mouth.

"Well I guess he'll be walking you to your room since he's your bodyguard." Wyatt said and Oliver shook his head quickly as I smirked.

"Good idea kid, I should walk you to your room to make sure your safe." I said and Oliver glared while grumbling as Wyatt laughed.

"Bye Ollie." Wyatt said waving and smiling before walking away.

Oliver huffed and turned to me as I smirked more shrugging. "Lead the way." I said and he sighed then began walking.

It has been pretty silent between Oliver and I on this whole walk to his room. Sure their was loud students who walked past but they didn't really count. I cleared my throat.

"So is your roommate nice?" I asked.

"My roommate turns out to be my cousin, lucky me I guess." he shrugged and I could hear the sarcasm in his voice as he walked to a door. "Well this is my room, I'm safe so you can go now." he said.

"Your not in your room yet and what if someone was waiting in your room." I said smirking and he huffed while getting his I.D. and swiped it then there was a click. Technology these days.

"Bye." he said already inside and shut the door. I sighed softly closing my eyes. 

How long exactly would I have to be this boy's bodyguard? He doesn't need me anyway. He seems to be just fine. I thought this as I kicked pebbles while walking outside then I stopped when I saw a familiar brown red head trying to get into a room by a window.

"Ryder!" I called and he almost slipped then glared down at me before his eyes widen.

"Shi-Shit I swear it's not what you think. I lost my key and I.D. and can't get in." he said and I smirked.

"If that was true wouldn't Oliver just let you in?" I asked tilting my head and he huffed.

"Oliver is too busy listening to music as he studies so he can't hear me. Plus I can't even get into the place without my I.D." he said.

"Looks like a personal problem." I said and he glared as the window open all the way out of nowhere almost making Ryder fall.

"Fu-Fuck." Ryder said panting and Oliver glared down at us.

"Ryder what the hell are you doing?" Oliver asked then glanced down at me. "What are you still doing here, shouldn't you be gone? You know you guys make a lot of racket." he said and I rolled my eyes.

"I was planning on leaving then I saw him trying to get in." I said.

"I thought you had headphones in." Ryder said furrowing his eyebrows.

"I did but I can hear just fine I just thought you should of been more responsible and let you stay locked out." Oliver said shrugging while smirking making Ryder growl as I laughed.

"Well night boys." I said tipping my hat as Oliver helped Ryder in and Ryder fell in making Oliver laugh as Ryder grumbled.

"Night bodyguard." Oliver said and slammed the window shut as I turned my back away heading my way to my car.

"Pass the salt please." I said and Sammie shook his head.

"No dad, your fries are fine." he said before eating his hash brown without ketchup making me shake my head.

"How does Vincent deal with you?" I asked and he glared while swallowing.

"He agrees with me and supports me that's how." he said and I put my hands up in surrender.

"I didn't mean to offend you son." I said and he rolled his eyes smiling. "Where's your future husband to be anyway?" I asked smirking as he blushed and huffed.

"I don't know, I'd like to know that myself. He was suppose to be here twenty minutes ago." he said grumbling as the bell rung and the man himself came rushing in.

"Sorry baby." Vincent said kissing Sammie's cheek making him blush but grumble as Vincent took a seat next to him. "Traffic." he huffed and I chuckled at his hair that was pretty much everywhere.

"Good to see ya kid." I said and sipped on my coffee as Vincent smiled.

"Hey dad." he said and I put my cup down shivering.

"Still not use to it." I said and he laughed as Sammie rolled his eyes.

Yeah, still not use to it.

"Well I better get going to my other job." I said standing up. "Continue the breakfast as a date." I said winking and they both blushed making me chuckle as I left the cafe to my car.
