"This doesn't mean I'm not still mad at you," I said quickly putting my clothes back on. "Because I am,"

"If you were still mad at me, you wouldn't have just slept with me," He smirked to himself.

"Charlie, get the fuck out of my car," I said rolling my eyes.

"Whatever you say, babydoll," He said getting out and shutting the car door.

I rolled my eyes for what seemed like the millionth time today and drove back to my apartment. I wasn't sure how I would explain where I went to Laney and Owen. As I stopped at a red light, I checked my appearance out. It didn't look like I just had sex, so that was a good thing.

I was dreading going back to the apartment. What would I even say to them? I mean I'm sure they would understand, but they definitely couldn't know I had sex with Charlie.

"Hey," I said as I walked into the apartment.

"Where the hell have you been?" Laney said hugging me as if her life depended on it.

"I just went for a drive," I said lowly, ashamed of what I had done.

I look past her and see Owen sitting on the couch. When we break from the hug, I slowly walk over to him. I didn't know what to say to him.

"Hi," I said standing in front of him, hand behind my back.

Instead of saying anything, he jumps up and engulfs me into a hug. "I was so worried about you," He said into my neck.

"I'm sorry," I whispered as he hugged me tighter.

I felt so guilty about what I had done. Owen was here, waiting for me, as I was hooking up with Charlie in my car. I felt like a complete dumbass. I felt like Charlie. We broke from the hug and I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding. 

"Are you okay now?" He asked as he intertwined our fingers.

"Yeah, I'm okay now," I smiled up at him. 

"I was thinking, movie night?" Laney asked as she plopped down on the couch.

"I'm good with that," I said looking over at Owen who had a big smile plastered on his face.

"I'd love to," He said smiling at me again.

We made our way to the other side of the couch and plopped down. I wanted nothing but to enjoy this moment with Owen, but I couldn't stop thinking about Charlie. Why did I even sleep with him? Was I that sad that I thought it was okay? Owen wrapped his arm around my waist and brought me out of my thoughts as we watched the movie Laney put on. 

-

"YOU WHAT?" Laney asked the next morning.

"Don't make me say it again, Laney," I whispered with my head down.

"You slept with Charlie? While Owen was still here? And while you were having a panic attack?" She asked clearly shocked.

"It sounds bad when you put it that way," I cringed at myself.

"Because it is! You had a good guy here and instead, you went to Charlie!" She exclaimed like she was my mother.

"I didn't plan for it to happen! I almost hit him with my car and then things just happened," I said look at her.

"Wait, you almost hit him with your car?" She asked, very confused. "Why didn't you just keep going?"

"And go to jail? No thank you," I said chuckling.

"I just can believe you slept with him!" She exclaimed.

"Me too," I sighed. "I never expected that to even happen, trust me,"

"Are you gonna tell Owen?" She asked as my eyes widen.

"Why would I have to tell him? It's not like we're dating," I say looking at her intently.

"You should tell Owen," She said sternly.

"Tell me what?" Owen said walking into the kitchen as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"That we're having pancakes for breakfast," I said looking up at his.

Laney looked at me with a confused look before quickly nodding her head.

"Yep! I'm about to start cooking," She smiled before walking over to the pantry.

"Thank you for staying with me last night," I said as I leaned back into his chest.

"It's no problem, Beckett," He said smiling. "Anything for my favorite girl,"

I blushed at the comment but also felt a pang of guilt in my stomach. Nothing else was going to happen between Charlie and me as long as Owen was around. I couldn't hurt someone who was so kind and caring towards me. Everything with Charlie needed to end now.

"Pancakes are almost done," Laney called from the stove.

My mouth was basically watering just at the smell of them. I didn't even realize how hungry I was until she said something.

-

"No, Charlie," I said. "Whatever this is, needs to stop now,"

"What we have is good. I don't think we should stop," He said smirking at me. 

"I'm not just a toy you can use for sex, Charlie," I said looking at him.

"No one said you were, babydoll,"

"Enough with that nickname," I huffed.  

"What? I like it," He said smiling at me. 

"Charlie, stop trying to change the subject. This needs to stop now,"

"Whatever you say, babydoll," He said as I rolled my eyes. "This isn't ending,"

And with that, he got up and walked out of the coffee shop, leaving me alone. I ran my hands through my hair and sighed. I'm not exactly sure who he thought he was but all this was ending now.

I'm sorry this was so horrible but I had to give y'all something
