woke up and stretched her arms over her head. Turning to her side she smiled at the man next to her and then reality hit and her heart began to shrivel in her chest
Michael...
Not the man she had spent the evening before with, the man she had spent all night dreaming about
Fuck he'd been hot and arrogant and sexy and... not Michael, nothing at all like Michael
"Fuck you were hot last night Tay, why aren't you like that more often?" Michael groaned whilst wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her ass into his crotch and Taylors mind spiralled back in time
Drinking tainted coffee with Travis, laughing at how un-PC he was. Playfully fighting him off as he became more tipsy and more tactile
Running through the streets with a bottle of vodka he had stolen from the cafe and then lying on the sand under the vast expanse of stars and listening to him sing
The man was conundrum, all ego and attitude, cocky confidence and brashness but there was something else, something softer that lay beneath, something Taylor kept getting a glance of before he would land another inappropriate joke
Michaels hand slipping under her T-shirt brought her back to the here and now. Remembering how she had come home drunk and horny, he hadn't fought her off and neither had she when he finally took control but now, looking back it felt wrong, felt dirty, whispering his name whilst it was Travis' name on her lips
"I have to get ready for work" she said abruptly, moving the hand that now cupped her breast to his side and then wriggling out of his grip.
Picking up her phone she walked to the bathroom, hearing Michaels snores once more before she locked the door and glanced at her phone.
2 photos from Travis...
She opened them, her heart hammering in her throat, the first one was innocent enough, his arm was around her neck, both of them were sticking out their tongues with their eyes closed the second... not so much
Again it was a selfie obviously taken by Travis but this time Taylors tongue was in his mouth and he was sucking it.
The vision caused Taylors entire body to flush and then flood with guilt.
Sneaking a look into her bedroom she watched as Michaels thin, naked chest rose and then fell, his snores a loud sniffly sound that filled the air.
Heading towards the bathroom her heart dropped further south at the sight of a discarded condom lying in the toilet.
She had got drunk with Travis and then slept with Michael.
She pulled the handle to flush and then dropped the lid, sitting on it and dropping her face to her hands guilt mixing with a dirty feeling in her gut
Turning on the shower she scrubbed herself thoroughly from hair to toes and then quickly dried off before slipping into her bedroom, grabbing some clothes and then heading back into the bathroom where she dressed, applied makeup for the first time in forever and then headed out the door, ignoring the way Michael yelled her name
"Morning"
Taylor was just out of her apartment and onto the street when a familiar voice assaulted her ears and an arm wrapped around her waist
"Travis!" She ripped herself away from his hands, wrapping her arms around her body and feeling her face flush
"Don't act shy now, I had your tongue in my mouth last night remember" he wrapped an arm over her shoulders as they began to walk together, Taylor's mind trying to reenact her night with Michael, what she said and did but her thoughts of Travis and the way her body reacted to him pulling her tight between the two men
"Look Travis, I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong idea..."
"No you gave me the right idea but now you're thinking about your lame ass boy and feeling guilty"
"I slept with him last night" that got Travis' attention, causing him to pause "I don't know why, we haven't had sex in months"
"Because you were thinking of me" Travis said, tightening his grip as they continued to walk, Taylor painfully aware that if anyone that knew her saw she would have some uncomfortable questions to answer
"I have to go to work, I need to think"
"And tonight?" He released his grip of her shoulders and then used his pointer finger and thumb to cup her chin "You and me and what happens happens?"
Taylor dropped her chin to her chest and felt her heart thud against it.
What ever happened to boring and dull?
Who was this intense man, where did he come from and why did he seem to have nothing but her in his sights?
