More Than A Game

Chapter 42

"Carmen?"

As I laid underneath Ollie's presence, I could feel my heart beginning to intensify its pace as I let out heavy breaths. I looked up to Ollie and then to the doorway to where Chad stood and back up to Ollie.

He looked down at me as our eyes met, but this time, it wasn't about desire or romance, it was more about guilt and quite possibly, fear.

Fear that finally Chad would learn of our dirty secret and this would be the start of yet another argument between Chad and I. Hearing the sound of footsteps, I could feel my body freeze the closer the loud taps against the floorboards got to us.

"I know you're in here babe, quit messing around with me." Chad laughed to himself as I could see his foot step near the base of the couch. This surely wasn't going to end well, it didn't take a rocket scientist to work that out.

As he removed himself from the darkness, I could finally see the horrified expression that formed upon his. Ollie slowly got up and made his way to his feet as Chad keep his eyes on me as I sat on the couch.

"Can somebody tell me what the hell is going on, right now!" Chad yelled angrily as I bowed my head down in shame. Ollie looked over at me as I gestured for him not to say a single word as I moved closer towards him.

"Well Chad. I... Ollie and I have, we might have." Stuttering broken sentences as I watched Chad's expression turn sour, I nervously bit my lip wondering how Chad was going to react when he soon realised my dirty little secret.

How selfish could I be to let the feelings of lust and desire get in the way of what I have with Chad? The last few moments between me and Ollie felt good when it had happened but now when discontinuing our steamy makeout session, I automatically regretted every second of it, as much as I hate to admit it.

Chad looked at Ollie angrily before turning his attention to me. It was like he had managed to fit together the last piece of the puzzle, although it wasn't hard to do since forbidden love was written all over my face.

"How could you Carmen? How could you just go behind my back after every single damn thing we've been through? I doubt that it meant anything to you though since you were only just trying to get in with my best mate this whole time." He shouted as my eyes began to water. I hated the way Chad put it but deep down, I knew he was right. Sighing, I looked over Chad's shoulder to find Ollie standing in the corner nervously.

"I'm sorry. I really am sorry Chad. For most of the time I have no clue about what I'm doing or even who I am. I screwed up, I know that and regret everything I've done. Just please, don't ignore me Chad. I really am sorry."

"So that gives you an excuse to hook up with someone who I thought was meant to be my best friend? I don't even know what you're doing Carmen anymore and it disgusts me. You're not sorry at all, otherwise you wouldn't have been mouthing around with another man."

Right now, I felt a wave of shame riding over me as a stream of tears rolled down my cheeks. I didn't quite understand why I was the one crying when I caused Chad to feel torturous pain. Awaiting for a response, he still remained quiet as his jaw began to clench in anger, his chest heaving with sharp breaths.

"Chad please, Chad please say something. Say anything, I just can't stand the silence. Please." I stuttered as each word came out filled with complete fear. Although I was too scared to hear what Chad's words were, I desperately wanted him to say something and fill the void of silence between us.

"How long has this been going on?" He asked rather calmly, catching me by surprise as I looked up at him; wiping a tear away from my already moist eyes.
