What Happens Now

Chapter 5

The sun began to rise and fortunately everyone got home safe and sound. Well, not everyone made it home.

"Don't go home." Austin held me close and began placing kisses on my shoulder. And then he began peppering kisses on my neck and my cheeks.
"I have to. My parents are going to freak out if I don't go home." I turned towards him and attempted to resist kissing him. Sleeping with Austin Donohue might have been a mistake, but hey, at least he wasn't the guy I lost my virginity to.
"Okay. I can drop you off and pick you up later." He suggests as he moves a piece of my hair out my face. As much as I wanted to believe he actually meant those words, I knew that an older hot college guy only sees me as just another girl he can check off his list. I mean, what else does he want to do? I already slept with him.
"Um. Austin. I had a good time, but..." I said as I began to get up with the white sheet wrapped around my body to get my bra and top that flew onto the red bean bag chair.
"Oh. Yeah. I get it. But, I'm not really looking for a relationship right now... more like friends with benefits?" He sat up from the bed and I could feel his strange disappointment.
"I've never done that before..." I turned around and picked up my red corduroy skirt on the floor of his side of the bed.
"Well, it's like dating except with no commitment. No jealousy. Sex, cuddling, and just vibing ya know.." There's the egotistical laugh that I knew..
"Okay, maybe." I quickly put on my clothes and sat on the bed.
"Yeah... Um... I'm going to get dressed so we can go." He got up, bare naked and, boy! I could never get tired of looking at that!
When he finally got out of the shower he came back into the room with a nice white towel wrapped around his waist.
"Where do you live?"
"Beaumont Green." I took out my phone and pulled up the camera. "Say cheese." He flashed a smile and sat down right next to me.
"That's cute. You need a picture of the guy who gave you the best sex of your life."
"You wish." I rolled my eyes and pushed his face away from me.

"No way! Where's Shay? Are you sure they broke up?" Rina asked over the phone
"That's the whole point of why I called you. I wanted to know where Shay was. I sure hope she's not with him right now." Iris speaks with much worry
"I didn't see her all night. But, you know what I did see! Lucas and Ender! Iris exclaims
"Not the point."
"Wait, did you try texting Shay?"
"I did but she hasn't replied."
"If she finds out those two broke up, she's going to be obsessing about the "what if" and we all are tired of it."
"I know I am."
"Do you know why they broke up?"
"Nope. I sure hope it doesn't involve Shay though. It's going to ruin her summer."

Austin slowly rolled up into my driveway and parked the car. I quickly thanked him and opened the car door. I walked up my driveway and opened the gate to the backyard so I could climb the tree to get to the balcony of my room. While I was walking, I decided to look at my messages. Wow, 56 messages. I really don't want to read them. Just before I put my phone back into my pocket, my phone buzzed. It was a message from Jace .
I'm sorry for last night. I didn't know he had a thing with Ender. If you want to talk, I am always free.
What! Lucas was gay! Huh. I didn't see that coming. Ender being gay, I will say I did have my suspicions. I put my phone back into my pocket and started my climb. I am so glad I have a balcony. And a tree. If it weren't for those two things, I would have to endure the wrath of my parents waiting by the door ready to begin their 8 hour lecture of being a horrible daughter. I jumped back into my bed and started reading my messages.
Iris
Where were you last night?
Do you know?
Jackie
Guess what happened last night!
Harrison
Can we talk? I need to get something off my chest.
