The Secret Society

Chapter Three

"Cole? Cole? Dude, wake up," Aaron called, shaking Cole's shoulder. Brixlee was curled into him, breathing soundly against his chest. He faced her and held her tightly.

Cole groaned. "What?"

"Either your phone or her phone keeps ringing, and I'm trying to study," Aaron stated.

"What time is it?" Cole asked.

"Almost five," Aaron said, glancing at Brixlee still asleep. "Wasn't just a one-night stand I take it?"

"If she had it her way, it would be," Cole said, yawning.

Aaron snickered. "The way you two were going at it last night didn't seem like it would be."

"Kind of the plan," Cole said, chuckling softly.

Her phone went off again, and Cole turned back to her, kissing her head a couple of times in an attempt to wake her.

"Mm," she moaned softly, moving her head so he'd stop.

"Wake up, Brixlee," Cole whispered.

"No," she replied quietly.

"It's almost five o'clock and your phone keeps going off," he advised.

She groaned. "Fuck."

She turned onto her back and stretched, letting out a soft moan as she did and Cole smirked, wanting to take her once more. He leaned into her and kissed her neck, his manhood rising at the simple thought of kissing her again.

"Somewhere you gotta be?" he asked as she sat up and quickly pulled the covers to her chest, taking notice of Aaron sitting on his bed.

"I have dinner with my friends," she said, licking her lips.

"Meet me afterward?" Cole asked.

"No," she said, straddling him to get to the other side of the bed where her clothes were located.

"You can't tease me like this and reject me all at the same time," Cole said, thrusting upward as she moved.

"I can do what I want, you're not my boyfriend," she said, holding the sheet to her body as she picked up her clothes.

"Yet," Cole stated.

"That's—no," Brixlee responded and grabbed her phone from her purse to answer it.

"I got you to come over again after you said no, didn't I?" Cole said slyly.

"Shh," Brixlee barked. "Yeah? What's up?"

"Is that Cole?" Emmanuella yelled on the other end, loud enough for him to hear.

"No, I'm just getting ready. I'll be there in ten," Brixlee said, holding the phone to her shoulder as she attempted to clothe herself while still covering up.

"I'm in your room, genius. I know you're not here," Emmanuella said.

"Where's Vera?" Brixlee asked, turning away from both men to drop the sheet and pull her dress over her head.

"She's in the washroom, also wondering where you are." Emmanuella laughed. "So, guess he was good enough for seconds?"

"I'm not with him," Brixlee growled.

"I'll see you soon," Emmanuella chimed and hung up the phone.

Brixlee looked down at her phone to see a missed message from Shawn. Guilt rose through her once again, she completely forgot to text message him.

Brixlee: I fell asleep, I'm so sorry!

Shawn: No worries. Aaron told me you were sleeping with Cole. We'll talk whenever you can.
