The Great Pretenders

Chapter 11

Matt's POV

I admit it, I was completely lost in Lucy's embrace. That sounded so fucking lame but it was true. The way she responded to just the simplest touch had me on the edge, just about ready to go over.
I tried to clear the fog long enough to pull us both back from crossing a line that I didn't know if we were ready for. I mean I'd had sex many times before...most with Val, my first love but some with girls that didn't mean anything to me. Lucy didn't fit
into either one of those categories. But what if she had never had sex and I pushed her...then I'd be taking her virginity and she would regret it. Maybe even hate me.
I slowed my kisses down and stilled my hands on her waist.
She opened her eyes and arched her eyebrow in question.
"We should slow down," I said, my own voice sounding hoarse.
Her blue eyes looked into mine. Her hair was straying from her ponytail in all directions. Her lips were swollen from all the kissing we'd done.She looked damn adorable. I couldn't stop planting soft kisses on her lips..
"Slow down? Or stop altogether?"she asked through kisses
I couldn't help but chuckle "Trust me, Luce, I don't want to stop at all. But I sure as hell don't want you to do something you'll regret."
It was her turn to laugh "I think I know my boundaries. I mean you're gorgeous but I still have my common sense."
I looked at her doubtful "I just don't want you to regret your first time..."
"What makes you think it would be my first time?" She asked rubbing her hands up and down my chest.
I opened my mouth but closed it quickly. Why would I think that? I mean I didn't know her that well and I knew she had a boyfriend. "I just assumed..."
"I'm not a virgin, Sanders," she said with a hint of red in her cheeks.
I smiled at her and joked "I'm not a virgin either."
I was soothed by the sound of her laugh.
"You're right though," she said reaching up to touch my face with her hand. "We should probably not do this. It would just screw up the plan."
Damn...the stupid fucking plan. Good God, I hoped she wasn't thinking of that fucker while we were getting it on. I mean, I wasn't thinking of Val at all and for once I felt like that was a good thing.

Lucy's POV

I don't know what just happened. I mean I know what happened but I don't know why I stopped him. Technically he stopped first but I went along with it.
So before we sat up and came back to reality, he kissed me senseless one last time. Then i resumed my sitting position straightening my clothes while he searched for where he'd tossed his shirt.
Once he located it and pulled it on, he turned to me "Do you still have to babysit?"
I looked at the time. It was 7:00
"Not really. She'll finish her homework and then get ready for bed."
He nodded "then let's get out of here. You can come hang out with me and the guys."
It was a tempting offer but I didn't know how well the guys would take me being there. He seemed to realize my hesitance.
"Zoey will be there. She'll be lonely if you don't come."
I frowned "You want me to come keep Zoey company?"
He hit me with those dimples. "No I want you to come hangout with me and listen to our band. And as a plus your friend, Zoey will be there so you won't feel uncomfortable while we're playing."
Well since he put it like that. "Okay I guess. For a few hours anyway. Just let me change."
He said I looked disheveled before so I probably needed to fix myself up.
His hazel eyes held mine "I'm sorry for what I said. You look great and you don't have to change, you know if you don't want to."
He seemed sincere enough so I just nodded. "Okay then let me just tell Gretchen I'm leaving."

So after a car ride where we talked about everything but our former relationships and our hot make out session, we finally made it back to Matt's house where the garage door was up and the guys were standing around watching Zacky and Zoey having a guitar battle. Brian just shaking his head. She waved when she saw me and all the guys turned to stare.
I was nervous but tried my best to swallow it. Matt jumped out of his car and quickly made his way around to open my door.

"Thanks," I managed hesitantly.
"Come on. This will be fun," he replied holding out his hand.
I took it and together we walked happily hand and hand toward the gang.

That is until we heard the voice.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?"
Dammit....Kelly was there.
