Irresistible - Pete Wentz Fanfic (Part 2)

Chapter 20

A soft vibration sound buzzed into my ear and it took me a few seconds to realise that it was not part of my dream but that I actually had to wake up. I let the dreams carry me out of the comfortable bubble and felt like I hit the surface, then opened my eyes and became aware of my surroundings. I stretched and sat up in bed, yawning for a few seconds. From the bathroom I heard water running and the fact that Pete wasn’t next to me made me realise that he was showering. I became aware of my phone buzzing on the nightstand again and picked it up. It was Mandy.

“Hello?” I mumbled, having to yawn again. “Did I wake you?” she asked in confusion. “Yeah but it’s fine, Pete’s already awake too. We spent the night in a motel.” “Come again for people who aren’t in on the joke yet?” she asked and her voice was starting to sound slightly girlier. “Okay, don’t think I’m insane but I told Pete I kissed William and…” “You kissed William?” she snapped and the high pitch of her voice made me move the phone a few inches away from my ear. “That’s not important…” “It is important!” she cut me off again, obviously ready to discuss this matter. “No, what’s important is that I think I slept with Pete last night!” I hissed to make her shut up and see the real struggle. “What?!” she shrieked again and I rolled my eyes. “Can we please talk about this and not scream?” “Start. From. The. Beginning.” I laughed nervously. “Right, so I told Pete I kissed William and before that, we were getting along so well and I regretted telling him because it seemed to really bother him and…” “Of course it bothers him, when will you see that he still isn’t over you?! Does that ever cross your mind?” she interrupted me again. “Can I speak?” I hissed in desperation, hoping Pete wouldn’t come out any time soon. She laughed. “Yes, of course, sorry.” “So, it seemed to bother him and I don’t think he was jealous but there was something, maybe he just doesn’t like the idea … anyway. You know what I mean. And then I may or may not have slept with him, I don’t know.” “What do you mean you don’t know?” “Well, we went to bed and we had already talked things through and it seemed fine and he was like half-naked and you know I’m pregnant, yeah? And I was pretty … well, you know…” “Horny?” she asked, clearly knowing what I meant. I sighed but speaking to Mandy I didn’t really mind. “And…?” she asked. “Either, I fell asleep and dreamt about it or it actually happened?” “What happened?” she asked, her voice higher now. “We had sex.” “How can you not know?” she squeaked again. I shrugged. “I don’t know, I was tired, I was exhausted, I was dizzy, leave me alone, I’m pregnant!” I squeaked back. We always did this, this voice that wasn’t really yelling, it was more like high-pitched accusations but never serious.

“If you don’t know, you have to ask him” she said after a few seconds, calmer now. “I can’t ask him. If it didn’t happen, he will know that I dreamt about it.” “You have no control over your dreams.” “Maybe I was fantasizing.” She laughed. “Charlie, you can’t go around not knowing if you’ve had sex with him or not.” “I really doubt it, he said some things that he wouldn’t have said in reality.” “Like what?” “He said he loved me.” “Maybe that was hard to say? A confession?” I sighed. “No and I’m glad if it was just a dream, it would make everything less awkward!” “Charlie!” “Mandy, please. Tell me you can’t relate.” She sighed. “Of course I can relate, I can imagine what you feel like but I’m also trying to be the voice of sense here. Seriously, you’ll be looking at him and all you’ll think about is if it happened last night or not. Tell me you don’t agree?” I sighed too. “Yes, you’re right. But I can’t ask him, it’s too weird. Especially if it didn’t happen. And if it did … we’ll have to talk about it. I’d rather pretend it didn’t happen. And that might be the best, in case it really didn’t.” Mandy was silent for a little, then yawned. “Tell me what you do. I want to know as well.” “Sort out your own relationships.” “That thing with Alex was really stupid, I shouldn’t have let that happen.” I pursed my lips. “Well, nobody could’ve stopped you if they tried to get you away from dating Alex Gaskarth for a while.” “Myself from the future maybe.” I laughed. “You know better now and you’ll find somebody that’s right for you.” “Easy for you to say.” “Excuse me?!” I scoffed. “You’ve got Pete.” “You’re really viewing this all wrong” I said, slightly offended now. “Goodbye.”
