CHAPTER 13

    [ Derek ]

I felt the pressure build up inside me. It started in my toes and shot through my entire body like a bolt of an electricity until I stopped in my long thrusts and let the bolt rock my muscles until I tensed up, pouring everything I had into the thin latex separating my flesh from hers.

As soon as I came, I slumped on top of the brunette beneath me, breathing heavily, body trembling. "Shit," I cursed under my breath as I buried my face into her neck.

Maya's hands snaked around my neck to play with my hair. "That was fast."

I let my eyelids flutter shut as I relished in the smell of her strawberry shampoo. "Yeah," I agreed in a dangerously low breath.

"You didn't even let me come," Maya addressed with a disapproving click of her tongue.

"Too bad," I spat. I rolled my eyes at her and fell onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling fan.

Whenever I wanted to take my mind off something, I resorted to sex. Maya was the first one who came to mind because she was always willing to fool around no matter what time of day. Normally, I would've enjoyed my time inside her, but I didn't. The whole time we were having sex, I was thinking about Calvin and that was really fucked up.

And now that it was over, I was still thinking about him. I didn't even have to try, it just came to mind naturally. Even when I tried to think of anything other than him, I always ended up back to him.

"This Calvin kid has made you selfish," Maya commented with a playful pout. "I'm not sure if I like him anymore."

A voice from the corner of the room interjected itself into the conversation. "That's because Derek is madly in love with him and he doesn't even know it."

A low, irritated growl sounded from Maya and she tore her gaze away from mine to look at Mike, who was sat patiently in the corner, avidly typing on his phone. "Why did we let him watch, again?" she questioned me. "Like that's totally creepy."

I shrugged. "He wanted to."

Mike cleared his throat. "He can hear you, y'know!" He shouted at us. "And I only wanted to watch because it's like real-life porn. I don't have to pay two dollars a month to get weird girls messaging me for a hookup. Besides, I can just visualize that I'm Derek and live out my fantasies vicariously through him."

Maya's face twisted in disgust as she inched away from me and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. "Well, I'm gonna take a shower." She rose to her feet and walked across the room in her full nudity. As soon as she approached Mike, she swiped her palm across his face so hard that the following sound hurt my ears. "Pervert," was her last word before she opened the bedroom door and disappeared into the hallway.

Mike stared at the door in awe. "God, she's amazing."

Sitting up straight, I began to rub my eyes, trying everything and anything to shake Calvin from my mind. Nothing about it felt right and I didn't like it one bit. "Gah," I groaned.

Mike redirected his attention to me. "You okay, bro? You look like shit."

I sent him a deadly glare. "And I feel like it, too." I dragged a lazy hand down my face and let it fall into my lap. "Calvin is really messing with my head. We ended our friendship before and I didn't feel like this. Why is this happening now?"

Mike put his phone down. "Dude, I said it like ten million times. Were you not listening? You like him."

I shook my head violently, simultaneously trying to shake my growing headache and thoughts of my former best friend. "No, no, I-" I sighed, "-stop saying that."
