Keeping Secrets

Chapter Six

(Will be staying on Tays POV until further notice)

Well it's official, I no longer have any control over my own life. After being told by every single member of my publicity team that it doesn't matter whether we love each other for real or not, this is not going away. I decided I should just confront Calvin.

"Hey, Taylor," he answers my phone call, "I'm so glad you called!"

"Listen, I'm going to cut to the chase here," I state, "we are friends and nothing more, k?"

"Tay, will you please come over? I can explain this whole thing in person?"

"Fine," I sigh, "be there in 15. Bye." I hang up the phone and leave for Calvin's house.

"Thank you for coming by," Calvin greets me at the door, "come in, please."

I sit in the living room and look around, a few months ago, I was repulsed by this place and the man who lived in it. Sadly, I'm back where I started.

"So, looks like I have some explaining to do, huh?"

"Yeah, you do! You can't just drop a bomb like that Calvin! And don't tell me it was the alcohol because I could see it in your eyes, that was real."

"It was, your right. I started falling for you a couple weeks ago-- when you, Ed and I went to lunch together...seeing you two like that made me realize that I didn't like you guys together because you're a good couple, but because I was jealous and I wanted you for myself. From then on I knew I was done sharing you with him."

"Calvin, I consider you one of my best friends," I said sympathetically.

"Same for me." he smiles.

"You can't just fall in love with your best friend!" Wait. What did I just say? I don't actually think that, do I? Calvin start laughing hysterically as he sits down next to me on the couch.

"I think you can," he says in a very sultry voice and leans in very slowly, but apparently not slow enough for me to move away from his lips. Soon enough we are kissing. For a spilt second I try to get him off me, but then I settle into the kiss. I can't help it! He's a very good kisser! But then I pull away for air.

"I...I...I shouldn't be doing this," I stutter and stand up, but my legs are frozen.

"But don't you want to?" He asks me and suddenly I'm sitting again.

I only nod and kiss him again. And again and again. Not even thinking what kind of trouble I'm getting myself into.

----------------soon after------------------

"I should go. Ed will be worried," I get out of the bed and scrounge around for my clothes.

"Oh, let him worry! We can go again?" Calvin smiles goofily and settles in to blankets, showing is bare upper body.

"No," I pull my shirt over my head, "I can't do that if we want this to work."

"True. Alright, go, leave me!" He pretends to cry.

"Your ridiculous," I roll my eyes and give him a quick kiss goodbye.

"But you love me."

"GOODBYE!" I yell from the front door, not ready for the "L word" just yet.

I walk in the front door of my home and Ed walks in the living room, clearly coming from the shower.

"I wondered when you'd return." he smiles, "how'd it go?"

"Good. Very good, actually."

"That's great," he kisses my check but then stands back and make a weird face, like he's confused about something.

"What's wrong?" I ask cautiously, could he smell that...you know, that weird naked smell on me?

"Nothing," he shakes his head, "nothing at all." he walks down the hall, presumably to get dressed. I slump on the couch and sigh. What am I thinking? Date two guys at the same time? That's not like me! Break up with Ed just to be with Calvin? That's not really me either, I suppose. The right thing to do would be to break off this fling with Calvin. But I don't want to do that. But I don't want to lose Ed either. What am I doing?

(Uh oh! Drama!!! Hop you guys liked this chapter and sorry it's kinda short but I'm kinda tired lol so yeah. what do you think Taylor is going to do? Love you guys!)
