Tennessee Whiskey AU

CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR

"I don't do the walk of shame, I strut. You can suck my dust. Blow a kiss goodbye, I got mine, love."

                                                                                    Scarlett's POV

After getting dressed I make my way downstairs, slightly dreading the others reaction. We were sort of caught red handed so to speak.

I sit down to breakfast and see they are trying their hardest not to laugh.

"So, fun night last night?" Steve asks.

"I swear you lot are worse than a bunch of teenage girls at their first slumber party. Yes the party last night was great." I say trying to keep my face straight. I take a sip of my coffee before I continue, might as well make them wait for the confirmation they seek. "And yes to answer the real question none of you have the balls to ask outright. When we got home I also had incredible sex. Tend to find it really adds a special ending to a perfect night. Anyone have a problem? Anything else you would like to know?" 

"I really like her." Is Steve's reply as Jay finally comes over to table and kisses me on the cheek before sitting down. 

"Oh, darling that was the wrong thing to ask." He says as he pours himself and me a glass of orange juice. I give him a confused look, thinking he was saying I shouldn't have confirmed we had slept together. That is before I look at the three men sat across the table from us. 

"So, does that mean you two are together now?" Jase asks.

"What happens now you are together?" Is Chris' question.

"Who's moving and when?" Steve asks.

All of them talking at the same time. It's a little overwhelming I'm not going to lie.

"Mind if I step in?" Jay asks I clearly look like a deer caught in the headlights at the moment. I honestly have no idea how to answer them. If I'm being truthful I wouldn't mind knowing his answer myself. 

"Knock yourself out," I tell him. Really hoping this doesn't end with my heart being kicked about even though I can see it coming.

"Ok. To answer at least one of your questions. No, it does not mean we are together now. It's not even something we have spoke about, so I'm not about to talk to you bunch of dickheads about it or have this discussion in front of an audience. Sex can just be sex between two consenting adults, it doesn't have to mean anything. So seen as how that makes the other questions redundant can we all eat breakfast so we can meet the others and start having some fun?"

Yeah there we go. Heart bouncing across the floor. I would go after it but fuck it. I won't be needed that anymore. The others go back to eating breakfast mumbling things like we only asked and how uptight Jensen seemed. I have no idea why I'm upset. What he said was right. We aren't together, we haven't had that conversation. If he had just stopped there it might have been ok. It might not have hurt so much, yes it would have still hurt but my heart would be intact but no, he had to go and add on the last part. I have a feeling it was the it's just sex comment that really ripped it out and flung it across the room. I swear I can see it sliding down the glass doors as we speak.

The rest of breakfast is pretty much silent. As if no one is quite sure what to say, I know I was struggling. There were the occasional questions about what the plan was for today but not much else. It was obvious everyone in the room felt awkward. Can they all see it sliding down the door too? I tried my best not to let my smile fall and show how I was really feeling. My head is overrun with whispers. 'see you knew you weren't good enough' 'aren't you glad you didn't confess you were falling in love with him'. None of these thoughts made getting through breakfast any easier. When I feel his hand rest on my thigh I resist the urge to knock it off and tried to remain unaffected by this whole thing,
