Out of Control

Chapter 15

^^Rylynn's Apartment^^

•Braeden's POV•
"I hope this isn't as feminine as it looks." I look around at the grey painted walls in the hall and walk down the hallway. We enter the living room and it's small, but it'll do.
Rylynn points to the kitchen and I set down the box I brought up. "Where's our room?"
"Down the hall to your left." Me and Saylor walk down the hallway and open the door to the room.
"It's so cute!" Saylor squeals.
"It's so feminine."
"Well what do you think, a girl lives here. you didn't seem to have a problem with that when you stayed in my room."
"True." I put the box on the floor and look around. It's set up like a studio, with a big bed and storage built into the floor. "We're going to a party tonight."
She nods her head and starts unpacking my box that I brought in. She starts pulling out stuff and realizes it isn't her box. "What is this?"
She pulls out the set from Victoria's Secret and I snatch it from her, "You should try it on."
"Am I gonna need a swimsuit for this party?"
"Yeah." I put my stuff into the drawers of the dresser.
"Which one?" She pulls out three different bikinis and let's me choose. I point to the one which appears to be the smallest and she smirks.
"You think you're sly huh? Next time point to it without smirking." I smack her butt and put on my swimsuit and a tank top.
She comes out of the bathroom with her hair in a messy bun and sun glasses on top of her head. She's wearing the black bikini as I had requested and she's wearing one of my tank tops.
"Let's see if Kayden and Emma are ready."
I got my truck fixed, so now I can drive that again, but I don't think Saylor feels safe with me. All four of us get in and I put my hand on Saylor's thigh. "You okay?"
"Yeah." She looks out the window and we ride in silence until we get to the house.
"Who's party is this?"
"Ronan's." I see her frown and I take her hand. "Just stay by my side."
We walk in and I see Ronan. "Hey, you remember Saylor?"
"How could I forget, she's your hot girlfriend."
"Yeah something like that." I kiss Saylor's head and we head out back to the hot tub. I take off my shirt and she looks skeptical. "You want something to drink?"
"No."
I get in the hot tub across from Kayden and see Saylor looking around. "Come in baby."
She shakes her head and frowns. "Where's Emma?"
"She's upstairs." Kayden says, and she walks away. "Is she okay?"
"I think she's a little leery about what happened at the last party."
"Oh," he looks around and stands up. "I'm gonna go get something to drink, you want something?"
"No thanks." I get up and grab a towel, wrapping it around my waist. I head upstairs, looking through the cracked door, and she's sitting on the bed looking at Emma.
"I just don't know anymore." Saylor sighs.
Don't know about what?
"Yeah I get what you're saying, he's bad for you," Emma agrees.
Who?
"Just make sure that when you're ready, you don't hurt his feelings."
Me?
"I love him, but he's making me look bad." Saylor bites her lip and puts her head in her hands. "I just don't know how to tell him."
How to tell me what? Is she breaking up with me?
"How are you gonna tell him?"
"I don't know, how should I?"
My heart shatters into a million pieces.
"And another thing," Saylor stops. "I just don't feel, attracted, to him."
"Is there someone else?"
"Well, yeah, sorta."
Who?
"Who?"
She smiles and blushes, "Ronan."
"What? When did you talk to him?"
"I've been texting him all week, well as friends of course. But yeah, I like him and I just don't know how to tell Braeden."
Don't have to tell me. I walk slowly away from the door and find Ronan calling out to Saylor. I bump his shoulder as I walk down this stairs and run out to my truck.
I rub my hands on my face and sit with my back on the tire.
