Just Between Us

Chapter Thirteen

Divya's POV

What did I do?

What the hell was I even thinking?!

How could I lose control of myself the way I did? We were just talking and I literally jumped Elizabeth like a fucking animal in heat. What's wrong with me?!

"You are going to make a hole on the floor with all that walking in circles Divya." Kaden said as she came into the living room and walked past me to the kitchen. "Isn't it too early for you to be so rilled up?"

"I couldn't sleep." I revealed to my roommate as she opened the fridge.

"Why? When can't you sleep?" Kaden turned around with a yogurt and closed the fridge's door with her foot. "And why do you have a suitcase by the door? You moving out or what?" She pointed at it with a spoon.

"I'm going to New York with Elizabeth."

Kaden nodded as she took a spoonful of yogurt. "You must be so happy your future wife is finally back."

"Kaden don't fucking start with that." I said harsher than I wanted.

My best friend raised a brow at me putting the spoon down on the yogurt, "What's gotten into you now—"

"I fucked Elizabeth." The words seemed to spit out my mouth before I could even think and stop them. "Well she fucked me— we had sex, yesterday when she came over."

Kaden's blue eyes widened as her mouth fell open in sync. "Well damn, that was quicker than I thought it would be."

"What?!" I yelled at her.

How can she even say that?!

"Oh come on, we both know you would fall into Elizabeth's bed sooner or later— or yours with her... or was it somewhere else? You better tell me what part of our apartment you two infected."

I put my hands up and walked to where she was on the kitchen. "What do you even mean? I'm straight," or was? "How can you say us having sex happened quicker than you expected?"

Kaden crossed her arms and shrugged, "I know you, Elizabeth is exactly your type... just in a woman rather than a guy. And she has a way with words that makes anyone weaker around her. I'll admit a big part of me thought you will be stronger when it came to her charms."

I scoffed, she's crazy Elizabeth is not my type, I don't even have a type to begin with, so what is she talking about? "She didn't charm me." I had to be honest and Kaden was the only I could be so with.

"She didn't?"

"No I kind of.. like jumped... her." I felt awkward saying that.

"You jumped her." Kaden repeated as if to make sure she had heard me correctly.

I pursed my lips, "I don't know what came over me, we—we were just talking and suddenly I don't know. I wanted her I was horny and she— is not that she just was there and it happened but because it was her that was there. I—I don't... know what came over me."

I've been asking myself that question all night long and I haven't liked any of the answers.

"Oh wow, do you have feelings for Elizabeth then?" Kaden seemed to have forgotten everything about her food.

Feelings? I mean sure she's great, fantastic even, but actually loving feelings? No. But some sort of attraction? That may be the case.

"No, hooking up with her doesn't mean I'm in love with her." I responded.

"I didn't say anything about love. But..." Kaden continued to when she saw me exhale in annoyance. "Div look, it doesn't matter, this is new and confusing for you I get it. Just talk to her if you need to, you know Elizabeth and she's one of the most understanding people I know."
