Unexpected Love.

Chapter 7

Jaden entered my room just when I was about to start to watch the video I had recorded earlier. I was sitting at the computer trying to figure out if I wanted to delete it or not. I really was thinking about doing it when Jaden sat next to me and hit play. I wanted to argue but he just skipped parts that looked boring and stopped at when Clyde started to kiss me. I looked at his face when it started and he didn't look happy at all. The reaction came off his face instantly and he smiled, looking over at me.

"Good job Lyn. We got him hook, line and sinker." He laughed and continued to watch, I couldn't take it. We looked like a couple totally into each other. The way Clyde had been looking at me right before he kissed me, the way his eyes shone when he watched me. I couldn't take it any more and ran to my bathroom for the second time that night.

I held onto my sink, squeezing it as hard as I could. I was trying not to yell out my frustrations. He looked so genuine, so sincere when he was looking at me. The kiss felt so real, so good. I felt safe in his arms and never wanted to let him go. Just knowing this was all a bet to him tore me apart in side. How can he look at me and kiss me like he does knowing what he will end up doing to me in the end. He really was a monster if he could do that to me or anyone for that matter. I finally was able to control my breathing and left back into my room. I saw Jaden still watching the video.

"Shouldn't it be over by now. Not much happened after that." I told him.

"You almost told him you knew about the bet. Why would you do that Lyn?" He asked me with a look of hurt on his face.

"I don't know!" I yelled. "This is all getting a little much for me. I don't think I can continue this." I told him. He whirled around in the seat and stood up in front of me.

"We just need a little more than we can show everyone he is not as nice and innocent as he tries to show everyone else." He said and I couldn't tell what the hell was happening to my friend, but I knew he was right. If Clyde can go around and do this to me he could go and do it to someone else and I didn't want that to happen.

"Fine. I will see where this goes. Keep an ear out and see if you can figure out when they plan on finishing the bet so we can do this first." I told him and he nodded hugging me. He held on for a little longer than normal but I let him. I didn't really think anything of it, he was my best friend after all.

He stayed over that night and we talked more about the plan and what I should do next. He wanted to see how far Clyde would take our making out but I told him I wasn't so sure about that. I never did anything more than kissing with anyone and I didn't want my first time doing stuff to be with someone who was only using me as a bet. I also wondered why Clyde would go that far if he wasn't actually into guys.

Jaden and I watched some movies before we ended up falling asleep in my bed. Nothing was unusual about that, we always slept in the same bed when we stayed at each others houses. The weird thing was in the morning when he was snuggled right up against me and practically kissing my neck. I moved out from under his arm and out of the bed to quickly get dressed.

As I was getting ready I kept telling myself he was only dreaming. Was probably dreaming of some girl he wanted to date or get with. There was no way my best friend knew what he was just doing. When he woke up he yawned and scratched the back of his head. He looked up at me, already dressed and ready to go, and asked.

"Why are you already. You normally take more time than I do." He laughed.

"Yeah well just wanting to get the day started and this crap over with. Get up and dressed so we can get going." I told him and left my room so he could get ready.

 I waited for him downstairs and once he came down we left. The walk to school was quiet. I didn't know what to say to him and it looked like he was thinking something over. Once we got there he left without saying a word, just looked over to my right and nodded his head. I turned that way and saw Clyde with his friends, laughing and messing around. There was a girl hanging off of him and he wasn't pushing her away. I looked at him in confusion until he looked over and saw me. The smile faded from his face as he looked away.

I knew I shouldn't let it hurt me so I didn't let him see that when he did look at me other times during the day. Science came around and he was the last one to come in again and sat next to me. I didn't say anything to him until he placed a hand on my leg again and squeezed. I looked from the hand to his face and saw him looking at me, watching.

"Are you coming over later?" I asked and I saw the shock on his face.

"I thought you were mad at me." He replied.

"Why would I be mad at you?"

"After I left like that last night. I thought you were mad. I just got over whelmed by thinking of having dinner with your parents." He told me. So he thought I would be mad about that and not some girl all over him. I decided to play along and not bring that up.

"No. I understand. You have to actually meet them eventually but I'm not going to force it on you. So tonight?" I smiled and he nodded, squeezing my leg again before letting go when the bell rang.

On the way home I told Jaden about my plans. He clapped me on the back, laughing and telling me to go get some. I couldn't believe he was pushing me into trying to have sex with Clyde. If the guy was actually into me than maybe I would. That was not how it was however and I was just a pawn in his plan to humiliate me. So I knew that was never going to happen.

Once again when I got into my room I put everything away and then set up my camera. I couldn't help but feel my stomach start to hurt at doing this. I just had to keep reminding myself if I don't hurt him he will hurt me.
