The Jaws of Life

19

To distract myself from Jaime and that random girl, I invited Drew back to the cabin to just talk. One thing led to another which is how I find myself on the couch with Drew, him on top of me as we kiss. 

Drew's hands move down to my shorts, one of them finding their way to the button. I slide a hand down onto his to push it away, but the anxiety in me is now activated. My brain throws a bunch of questions at me ranging from 'What are you even doing Karlie' to 'What if he tries to touch you again and doesn't stop'. I try to put the thoughts out of my head, but they keep playing in my head over and over again.

I'm about to ask Drew to stop but then the sound of the cabin's door slamming shut fills the room. Drew and Ie don't have enough time to break apart before Jaime can see us on the couch together, my shirt half off with Drew on top of me completely shirtless. I give Drew a light push off me, he doesn't even hesitate to get off the couch, throwing his shirt back on quicker than he took it off.

Jaime's eyes flicker from Drew to me and back again. The expression on his face can only be described as pissed off.

"Think it'd be a great idea if you left now." Jaime says to Drew, his voice cold. Jaime opens up the door to the cabin and stands right beside it, his arms crossed.

"See ya, Kar." Drew says to me, trying to sound casual, but I can hear the fear in his voice. He crosses the room quickly, squeaking by Jaime on his way out to the door. Without even looking, Jaime grabs the door and slams it shut after him.

Jaime doesn't leave his spot near the door; he just continues to stand there staring at me. I'm distinctly aware of my shirt being half off, so I quickly pull it down to stop myself from being exposed more than I'm already feeling. The look Jaime's giving me has me convinced he can see through me anyways,

"I didn't think you'd be back for awhile." I mumble to Jaime to break the silence.

"You wanted me to see that." he states. 

I scoff at him. "No I didn't. I honestly thought you would be out with that girl all night."

He raises his eyebrows at me in disbelief. "So you were going to fuck some guy on the couch because I was hanging out with someone tonight?"

"I wasn't going to fuck him." I say, my voice rising. "And don't act like you were just "hanging out" with her."

"I was just hanging out with her. Did you see me half naked on a couch with her?" 

I can feel my cheeks warming up for two reasons. The first is I realize how jealous I seem, asking him about some random girl he simply had his arm around. The second reason my cheeks are warming up is due to the embarrassment of Jaime walking in on me with someone. I'm not that person to just kiss someone I don't know, and yet here I am, putting myself in harms way just to make someone jealous who would never even be jealous anyways. How humiliating. 

"Karlie, I haven't been with anyone in two years." he tells me, his voice back to its usual calm tone. "Not in any way. No sex, no dating, not even a longer than needed hug. I don't know where you got it in your head that I just have sex with anyone, but you're wrong."

"You're literally in a famous band." I point out to him as if he's somehow unaware. "You could be with anyone you wanted and you're telling me you don't use that to your advantage?"

"God is that really what you think of me? That I'm just some guy who fucks anything that asks him? You've known me forever, do you really think I'm that guy?" 

"No." I admit. "I guess I let Alia get in my head, s-"

"You listened to Alia?" Jaime groans. "Never listen to her. She's my sister and I love her but she has the worst assumptions I've ever heard in my life."
