Hated love

21: It Was All A Dream

Chase Creed

I opened my eyes at Smith's beautiful face. She was still sleeping, in a cute, deep sleep. I couldn't do this, she knows that, and so do I. I needed to find a way to tell her to forget it, but how? I didn't want to hurt her, but I can't.

I'm not the type of forget about sex, especially not this one, hearing her moan was the highlight of my night, but she needs to know I'm no good for her. I'll just corrupt her, and my presence has already done that. We fucked at around 3 in the morning, so it made sense why she was still asleep.

I get up to work out and get back in a good time, she's still asleep, even after my shower, I would wake her, but I'm trying to avoid her, and she was also so tired. I head downstairs and see a note on the counter, it was form yesterday, I guess I didn't read it.

I'm feeling under the weather
So I may on be able to
make it today, sorry
X P

I didn't mind, I know how to cook, it ain't rocket science. I hear footsteps, descending from the stairs, and a small figure enters the kitchen, extremely shocked, unaware she was wearing one of my hoodies. "I didn't wake you 'cause you were really tired" I tell her before she assumes anything. "Oh, where's Petunia?" She asks, completely avoiding the fact that we fucked, maybe that was a good thing.

"Uh, she said that she was ill, so she might not come" I tell her, "you hungry?" I ask her before she bursts out into laughter. "You can cook, wow" she says sarcastically.
I smirk at her and continues to make her an omelette. "Was -was it a dream?" She whispers so quietly I almost missed it.

"No, it wasn't" I tell her, my back still facing to her.

"It's stops here then, I guess?" She says, I automatically feel bad.

"Smi- "no, no it's ok, I get it, should've just guessed that it was a one-night stand, a fling" she cuts me off, and disappears in disappointment.

10 minutes later I here her room door close. She walks downstairs quietly. I walk to the stairs and wait for her to came down, I grab her by the wrist, "wait, I didn't mea- "it's ok, Chase, I know you don't want a bitch like me ruining your reputation" she says before walking out the door. "Fuck" i murmur.

Later on in school...

I cared that I'd upset her, I didn't think that she'd care that much, she didn't even make an effort to look at me and every time I'd walked towards her, she'd either lower her gaze or go the opposite way. This was the first time I'd ever been truly hurt, in a relationship way, I didn't think it would piss me off this much.

You know what's funny, the fact that I didn't even say it was a one-night stand and she just assumed it. I'll probably speak to her about it, if she'll let me talk. I hear my phone buzz in my pocket in the middle of maths. This school has a strict policy on phones, you're not allowed them out in lesson or they'll get confiscated till the end of the day.

I take it out anyway, because when was the last time I cared about rules... or getting in trouble... or anything really. It was a text from Petunia.

PETUNIA: Sorry to ruin your year even more, darling, but there is another guest staying with us, in face she goes to the same school as you, her name is Leah.

ME: Oh, nah it's all good 👍

It did matter to me though, what? Another girl? Staying at our house? Whilst I'm fucking Smith? I'll just put her 2 floors up so she doesn't hear anything.  It's lunchtime and I go to try and find Smith. "Hey" I say to Holly, she was in front of me in the lunch line, "d'y'know where Smith is?" I ask, she points at an empty table, with Smith sitting right at the end, her back facing the wall, I couldn't see her face, it was covered by a book.

"Thanks" I say before retreating to Smith. "This book is so fucking- oh, you" she says as she takes in my face, she clearly expected Holly. "What's up?" She asks, as I take a seat.

"We've got ourselves a new guest to welcome" I tell her.

She looks really pissed off, "what, who the fuck is it?" She asks frowning around the cafeteria.

"Some next girl called... Leah, I think?" I say to her and she jumps up out of her seat. "Leah Buckingham?" She asks pointing towards someone. "Dunno, Pet, just told me her name was Leah" I explain to her.

The keeps on pointing at someone and my gaze couldn't help follow who she was pointing at. I don't see who she was pointing at, she rolls her eyes, and moves my head to my left. "See that girl that is sitting by herself, behind your usual table?" She questions me. "Yeah.... Who is she?" I ask, smirking.

She lightly slaps my face a couple of times, "sad times, Chase, sad times" and returns back to her book. I pull it down, "seriously, who the fuck is she?" I ask. She slams the book shut and places it on her lap, "Nick told me you fucked her" she says half-smiling.

"Nope, don't remember fuck all" I tell her with a straight face, "of course you don't, damn, Chase, I don't think you remember what you had for breakfast this morning" she asks me sarcastically, we both burst out in laughter, "very funny, Smith, very funny" we make eye contact for a couple of seconds, damn, I didn't think I could go this long without kissing her.

"We need to talk later, if thats ok?" I ask, she nods gently. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I hear I familiar, masculine voice behind me. I turn my head to see Nick, his hands shoved in his trouser pockets. "You don't own her, bro" I tell him, I hear a little whisper in the corner, "Chase..." I look at Smith, and she shakes her head slightly. I smile and pat Nick on his chest, "see you later, Smith".

I sat down next to Zoe, "what the fuck are you doing speaking to that bitch?" She asks me, "well, Zoe, this might come as a shock, but we're friends now, you jealous?" I explain, smirking at her. "Phff, no" she says, crossing her arms.

After school, at home...

"Hey" I say to Pet as I come in the house, Smith follows behind me, "I'm gonna take a shower before I eat" she announces as she ascends the footsteps, you all know what I'm gonna do now...
