BILLIE-HALES & ZEALOUS

Chapter 2

CHAPTER TWO

   The next time I wake, it's to the sound of banging on my bedroom door.

"Come on, sleepyhead. Wake up. You have a lot of sexy rugby players to be taking pictures of today. So up and at-em, breakfasts ready in about twenty minutes."
Mum called out from the other side of my door. I end up freezing because I feel him and that's when I remember he stayed over. Shit! Before my mother breaks down my door, I quickly call out and tell her I'm up. Once I hear her move away I open my eyes where I find him, Zealie Dalton. Oh god, he's still in my bed and still with his big arms wrapped around me.

"I'm... I um, gotta go." was all I said.
What the hell do I say? Zealie freaking Dalton has slept in my bed with me. It's with my arms and legs, intertwined with his ink-covered body. Holy fuck, he stripped? Oh god, he stayed all night. He's just looking at me; brown meets green. He's not even saying anything. Shit, this isn't awkward or anything, especially with what's stabbing me too. Oh fuck, I can feel his morning wood between my thighs. Yes, we're that close. Christ, it feels too good to move, but I know I need to. Being this close isn't what I intended to happen at all, but feeling him is something I've wanted for a long time. It's just a shame we'll never be that perfect pair.

"Me," he cleared his croaky voice before starting again. "Me too." Then we both take a deep breath together.
Okay, Billie, move away. This isn't helping you with forgetting what you feel about him. However, he says something that totally spoiled the moment. Along with making my escape totally warranted.

"Unless you want to see what happens next? I mean, I've still to show you how to handle those balls."
Ugh, what a tool.
"You just cannot help yourself can you?" I ask while feeling disappointed. He grinned and bounced his brows up and down.

Once again I sighed. Why can't he just see me? Why can't he see I don't want or need cocky-Zealie? I want the real Zealie. I just want him to see me.
Anyway, once I prize my body away I quickly make my way to my bathroom. Before going in, I turn back to speak. As usual though, I can't look at him because I'm too afraid for fear he'll see I still feel something for him.
Yeah, it's something he can't ever know too, not after watching him screw around with so many women. Sadly ones I helped him out with since I'm his Wing-man! Ugh, that's all I'll ever be, isn't it? His freaking, Wing-man!

"When you leave, please make sure you don't get caught. You know what my parents are like. They'll kill us both if they find out you stayed over. I-I'll text you later."

I end that by walking into my bathroom and locking the door behind me. I'm locking the door on one Zealous Junior Dalton. The boy, the same man that will never be mine.

Sometime later...
    After showering and brushing my teeth, I leave my bathroom only to find an empty bed. He's gone and I can't help feeling a little disappointed about it. No, Billie, this is a good thing. Fuck knows what possessed you to do it in the first place. But no, no more daydreaming about your best friend.
That's all he is, and it's all he ever will be, just a friend. You'll always be the Wing-man.

So anyway, I walked to college today because I needed to clear my head a little. Well, a lot actually. I needed to clear Zealie from my mind. I've been there before with the crushing over him, even longing for him to touch me. I would daydream and have these little moments where I'll watch him with other girls, wishing it was me he was flirting with.
Of course, it's when we had a "moment" I knew he would never truly be mine. We were out partying as we always did and had a shitload to drink. Eventually, we run out of money, and I got bored. I told him and he responds by telling me, he was too. Moments later, he turned to face me with a cheeky look in his eyes. He looked on intensely, and I thought for a moment that I was his. I even stopped breathing. Just the thought of him kissing me was thrilling to me. All I thought at the time was "Finally this is it, he's going to make me his." He moved in and said, "We can settle that boredom, but nothing more. We can have a lot of fun. You know, friends with benefits, but that's all it'll be. As you know, I'm not into settling, Baby-B. You know this. I'll never settle down, but I'd gladly ease that little ache for you. I know I'd like to soothe mine, by being balls deep inside of you."
