Hated love

24: Shady Business

Selina Smith

We pull up in the driveway after school and Chase carefully plants a kiss on my forehead before getting out. I open the door and see Leah coming in through the main gate, wow, how the fuck did she get back so fast? I turn my head to see Chase opening the door and walks in, I follow after to see him heading into his room.

I thought to leave him be. If there is anything I learned in this relationship so far, is that if you get too clingy, they lose interest. "Do you go out with him?" A voice startled me, I turn my head to see Leah, "oh, if it's personal then- no, no, we don't go out, heh, I wouldn't, no, he's- he's nice as like a brother or something" I say to her, trying to be as influential as possible.

"Ok" she says. She disappears upstairs and I place a hand on my chest, my heart was beating like crazy, my hands were shaking, the only thought that circulated in my mind was, did she believe me?

My phone buzzes and I yelp out in surprise, what the fuck was wrong with me? I'm on edge, and for what? I pull out my phone, and see the text that flashed across my screen.

CHASE: You're a bad liar, baby

I look around for a couple seconds, look down on my phone, and smile, before I could reply, another text flashes across.

CHASE: Want some lessons? 😏

I laughed at the text and head upstairs, to my room, not his. I pull all my clothes off, and climb into bed. Yeah, I did sleep naked, sue me. I felt ill, so that was the last resort, plus they always had the heating on high, I roast in my bed some nights, and when I'm ill, I'm a human radiator. I shove my head under my duvet, thinking about Chase, I managed to drift off.

I hear my door open and I see Chase, surprised to see me, naked. "Fuck off" I mumble, before seeing him take off his shirt and climbing into bed with me. God, his chest was heaven, I thought to myself as I curl up into him. His chest was nice and warm, and muscular, work outs done well on him.

He moves a little bit, pulling me on top of him, it felt so nice, I feel his hands go in line with my hips, pushing me up carefully, he slowly pulls off his trousers, I feel him struggling to do so, so I lift myself, and as soon as he does, he pulls me back, closer to him.

Now it was just the two of us, naked once more. "You didn't answer my question" he mumble, his sleepy voice was the cutest to hear. "Well your here now, so.." I respond looking up at him, his perfectly articulated jaw, ugh, why does he look like an angel.

He pulls me up so our eyes are in line with each other. He gently placed a kiss on my lips. We stare at each other for a while, but the one thought that was in my head was, why the fuck does he look exhausted?

I place my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat, it calmed me, I felt tranquil. Bup, bup, bup, his heartbeat was the one thing I could listen to all day, I just wish we could stay here all day, just the 2 of us.

I don't Chase knows this, but after the argument with my mum, he was the one person I could trust, the one person I felt safe with, the one person I could talk to.

We both fell asleep pretty soon, my dream was... beautiful.

When I woke up, Chase wasn't there, I sit up and run my fingers through my hair and gently climb out of bed. I pull my pjs on before walking downstairs, I stop when I see a shirtless Chase, making food.

I walk behind him and wrap my hands around his waist, quickly planting a kiss on the back of his shoulder, he turns and smiles. He leans down for a kiss and, because I love him to bits, I fall for him, kissing him, harshly.

I suddenly see a slight... flash!

It came from the entrance of the kitchen, I turn quickly to see and Chase walks out the kitchen in a hurry. "What's wrong?" I ask, placing a hand on his arm. "I saw that same flash in school, when we came out of that closet" he tells me, he heads upstairs, "wait there" he tells me.

I stood quietly at the bottom of the stairs. He heads up the stairs and the next ones, I hear a faint sound, he was speaking to someone, "have... out?" I couldn't quite make out what he was saying, but it sounded like a question.

He comes back down, "what was it?" I ask, he stands there shaking his head. "Leah's gone out, so who the fuck else could've flashed?" He asks, quickly looking at me, "that sounds wrong" I tell him as we both burst out into laughter.

"Well if Leah isn't here, we don't have to worry" I tell him, wrapping hands around his neck, "mmm" he moans, gently pulling me, by my waist, into him. "I love it when you tell me not to worry" he whispers into my ear, slowly going down to kiss my neck. Trying not to be offensive, I push him back, gently, I rub my thumbs under his eyes, they were red and he had eye bags deep as fuck.

"It's fine" he says, holding my hand against his cheeks. He continues to eat out my neck, one hand on my waist, and the other holding my back for support from falling back. "Chase... can I ask you something?" I say, he doesn't look up at me, "do- do you love me?" I ask quietly.

This time he looks up at me, he smiles, "what of course I do, why, did you think I didn't?" He ask, he looks a bit upset.

"No, no, of course not, I know you do, and I love you too, it's just..." I trail off, thinking, "I just wanted to make sure, and now I know" I say, planting a kiss on his cheek, before hearing the front door open, I move away from him quickly, Leah comes in, "hey guys" she says before scanning Chase up and down, fuck, he was shirtless, I thought to myself, she ignores it and heads upstairs.

"Look at this" Chase nudges me gently on my arm, I look over to his phone. He showed me, Leah's location, even though it was invasion of privacy, it was confusing.

She'd been in the garden for half an hour, why?

--------------
Aww, they're so cute with each other though

But why the fuck was Leah lurking around in their garden?

And what or who was that flash?
