Sleeping with a lie

(25)

Drew stayed with me alright. He and I had two whole bottles of scotch, saving the best for last.

"Dude.... I need a ride." I check my phone. "Its midnight."

"C'mon." He helped me to the car.

In the Lexus, I buckled myself in, missing the clicker. Drew placed his hand on mine. I look up, staring at his grey eyes.

"You look beautiful, even if you are a drunk mess." He compliments.

I kissed him, letting go of my seat belt. His hand touched my waist. I go back in time, thinking that cheating on Theo would be bad.

I let Drew make out with me, and slowly take off my shirt. He folded the seat down.
I giggled, reaching my hands to his neck.

"Shailene." He says in my ear.

"Yeah, Drew?"

"Are you sure you want to move forward with this? Just for you to know, there will be no awkward situation between us?"

I stared him in the eye, unzipping his pants.

"Does it seem like I'm serious with this?" I bit my lip. "Theo can't do anything but yell at me."

____________
Waking up to grayish eyes and a head full of dark brown hair made me feel sick. I turn over, covering my butt with his jacket.

"Drew?" I call out. "Drew, wake up."

He opens his eyes again. "Good morning. You look even more gorgeous in the morning haze."

"Amazing. Drive me back home please will you?"

"What time is it?" He rubbed his eyes.

"6:48. I need to be on a plane at 7:30." Slipping on my dress, I fix my hair.

Drew was still naked. After settling down in my seat, I look down.

"Drew. Are you seriously driving naked right now? What do you think we're going to do?"

"My car, my rules Woodley." The car rode down the street.

At the apartment.

Theo met me at the door. Belle was on his shoulder fast asleep.

"What are you doing here so late?"

"I got drunk. Drew let me crash in his car."
"Is that what Lonnie would have excepted. Such a lame excuse?!" Clara came to the rescue, barring Belle to her chest.

I raise my eyebrow, storming to the other room.

"SHAILENE!" Theo yelled after me, shutting the door behind us. "I'm going to ask you again, why are here so late?!"

I take off my sweatshirt, dressing in more cleaner clothing. "I WAS DRUNK, CAN YOU TAKE THAT?!"

"I'm afraid not, you see- What kind of guy would let you crash in his car. Instead of being a man, and driving you home? Were you even thinking about your father? YOU DELIBERATELY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF YOUR FEELINGS.'"

"WHY WOULD YOU CARE THEO?"

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!"

"BULLSHIT!!" I scream.

I hit his arm, making him stumble back.

"IN ORDER TO HAVE TRUST THEO, YOU MUST LEARN HOW TO USE IT!!" He held my arms. "LAST NIGHT I DID IT WITH A BARTENDER. There. I... I said it."

He looked up. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"

"Nope." I say proudly.

"I MADE OUT WITH LAUREN IN
LONDON." He admitted.

"So we both cheated on each other. What does that mean?"

"Shailene, they were both mistakes." He sets my arms down.

I join in for a hug. "Mistakes."

"Mistakes."
