180 Degrees- Completed

Chapter Nine

"You don't seem as drunk as you did when we left." James was smirking down at me, I knew he thought this was hilarious. Me, not so much. 

"I feel stone cold sober." I chuckled as we stood outside my bedroom door. "Thanks for walking me home." 

"Not a problem. At least your home safe and I can sleep tonight." I rolled my eyes at him and he smirked. 

"You're not coming in. This isn't where this is going." 

"Oh I know." He put his hand above my head on the door. "I wasn't expecting it to end like that at all tonight." 

"Really?" 

"Not even for a second." Looking in his eyes I was trying to find any indication he was lying. "You never answered my question Avery." 

"What question?" 

"If I can take you out this weekend." He put a finger under my chin, lifting my head to look him in the eyes. 

"I don't know. I heard I'm not exactly your type." He chuckled. 

"So that's what you girls were giggling about after I left." I smirked up at him. "Did you tell them I kissed you?" 

"And that you demanded you're the only one allowed to bring me home? Of course." 

"They're right. You're not my type normally. But there's something just pulling me to you and I can't explain how you haven't left my head since I saw you last week in the coffee shop with your parents." My heart was beating so fast I'm 99% sure I was going to have a heart attack. "Sunday?" 

"What about Sunday?" 

"I'll pick you up at 1." 

"So we just skipped right over me agreeing then?" 

"I wasn't taking no for an answer beautiful." 

"Someone's demanding when he's drunk." 

"I'm not drunk. Barely even under the influence." I chuckled at him. "I'm going to kiss you now and walk away so you can go call your other guy and tell him he needs to try catch up." 

"Oh you want him to catch up?" 

"He's not going to have the chance. He'll get bored eventually and I can have you to myself." 

"Ooft. Possessive as well? Look at all your flaws coming out the woodwork." He gripped my chin, staring down into my eyes without saying a word. I swallowed hard under the nerves, my stomach somersaulting like a circus act. 

"I'm only possessive over things I really want to myself. I could find this guy and scare him off but I want you to choose me not force you into it. I want you to make the choice that I'm better for you. I know you still need some convincing Vee. But I know you're leaning more towards me." 

"So full of yourself. What makes you think I'd choose you anyway?" I love pushing his buttons, winding him up just to walk away. There's something about knowing I'm tracing through a guys brain. I liked that feeling. The one that told me I was more than just my brains and more desirable than I had been telling myself. Watching him almost snarl at the thought of me not choosing him made me want to giggle like a school girl. 

"You like playing games huh?" I nodded and he smirked, bringing his face in closer. 

"Only when I'm the one winning." He groaned and I giggled quietly. "So go on. You were going to kiss me and walk away so I can call him." 

"Yeah I was but now I don't want you to call him." 

"Why not?" 

"I'd rather have you alone thinking about all the bad things I want to do to.." I lost my smile, his creeping up on his cheeks, breathing heavy as his hand pinned my hips to the door. Fuck.  "What's up princess? Don't like when I play back?" 

"I-um-" He chuckled, pushing his lips into me again. This time it was harder, way more intense than it had been before. The heat between us was like we were both on fire. And I couldn't breathe. 

His tongue ran over my lips, smiling as I opened them for him. Our mouths were synchronised moving at the perfect pace for each other. Neither of us was too fast or too slow. Perfection. It wasn't long of this before he pulled his mouth off mine, kissing down my neck. I laid my head back against the door, my breathes coming out staggered and deep as he chuckled into me, suddenly standing up and taking a step back. Not a single part of his body on mine now. 

"Have a nice night Vee. I'll call you tomorrow."  He smirked at me, walking down the hallway a few steps, not turning away. "Call me if you need me. I can be here in 5 minutes. Okay?" He stared at me as I didn't answer. His smile, after what he knew he'd just done to me. This boy was going to take me under I swear.  I nodded slowly and he chuckled, turning on his heel and letting me watch him walk away. 

Holy mother of god. 

I was playing games with the devil.

I knew this was not a smart idea. I knew how this was going to end. I think it was obvious now. 

He was making sure he was the only thing in my head as much as I had been playing the same game with him. I mean it was working. I wanted him back here now. To finish what he started. Instead I had to go back into my room alone and pray I could take my mind off all the things I wanted him to do to me. 

Slowly lay me down on my bed, take my clothes off. 

Stop Avery. 

You can't do this. Not yet. You're going to build yourself a reputation you can't break from. 

I let out a sigh, hitting my head on the door once before turning and letting myself in. What the hell do I do now. I need a distraction. I wonder if Izzy is up. It's like 11pm there. She should be.
