LIVING WITH MY BEST FRIEND-[c.h.]

chapter 43 (the one with the shower sex)

"w-what ?you're drunk." i almost choke.
he sighs turning around tugging onto his hair. "So? Can't a drunk man have feelings?I know i sound pathetic. But you can't expect me not to have feelings for you right after you walked out of my life like that"

he turns back to hold my hand. "Luke i didn't walk out of your life . I'm still your friend . " "No Kayla." He pulls me closer to him. "You were my friend and now i have to ask for permission to talk to you?"

His voice cracks a bit as he drops his head. "With you I finally witnessed happiness after a long time. We laughed, we cuddled" we both smile at the memories we shared "we spent all night talking about random stuff,we kissed.."

he says with a quieter tone playing with my fingers. "Can i ask you something..?"

he looks up and i nod. "earlier...when we kissed. You pulled away because you were scared you'd enjoy it.
You are scared of catching feelings for me and that's why you are avoiding me all the time. Am I right?" he squeezes my hands tighter

"I'm not avoiding you Luke. I'm dating Calum and I can't do things that I used to before like come over to your house at night and sleep in your arms ,kiss you on a cheek whenever i feel like it you need to understand that. "

I rub his shoulder "I do understand that Kayla. What I don't understand is why can't we be friends"

"We can be friends Luke. Calum gets a bit grumpy and jealous because he's scared he'll lose me. Look I'll talk to him okay?"

he smiles and pull me in for a hug "I can totally understand him I'm scared of loosing you too. " he chuckles in my hair. "You will never lose me Luke" i pull away

"And thanks for understanding me. I really had to get that off my chest . at least you know how i feel now. I wasn't expecting you to leave Calum or anything i just wanted you to know " he smiles and i give him a hug one last time before walking downstairs.

THE NEXT MORNING

I wake up noticing i'm not in my room i usually wake up in. This time i was in Michael's bed. I blink several times to process what's going on.

I look down and notce my naked body intertwined with Calum's. I sit up pulling sheets over my naked body as i look around the room.

Our clothes were thrown all over the place i slowly stand up and pick up my panties and my bra which were resting on Michael's desk. I pull them on and sit back on the bed tangling my fingers in Calum's hair.

I check my phone and freeze . I have 8 missed calls and 10 texts from mom and 3 from Michael...
I call my mom right away.

"Mom?"
"Kayla!" she let out a sigh of relief.
"Where are you?! You have no idea how worried sick i was. I barely even slept."
I shut my eyes and sigh.
"Mom I'm sorry . We were at Michael's place and we kinda lost track of time. I'm sorry"
"You could've at least called or texted me"
"I know i'm sorry"
"Well good thing's you're safe and i can finally relax" she chuckles
"Sorry mom" i giggle

I hang up and check the texts from Mike.

From: Mikey:P

You sound so good . lmao

From: Mikey:P

Keep it down . some of us are trying to sleep.

From: Mikey:P

Seriously dude. What's Calum doing to you?

i cringe at the messages Michael sent me. I don't even remember anything. All that's left in my brain is chugging a bottle of vodka along with Mikey to see who can drink it faster. It's funny how it took me so long to say yes to that one beer and then end up like this.
