Tug of War.

Chapter 2

  I woke up with a slight headache, despite my huge hoodie  I was cold, so I made my way down to kitchen with my phone, to get some coffee to warm myself up, I held the coffee cup in both hands trying to take advantage of the warmth.

I was reminded of Van Dyke's warm hands, and then I was reminded that I fainted when our hands met. I started to think how much of fool I made of myself.

  But then another thought struck me, and it bugged me... a lot.

When I thought about it, this thing that bugged me, I remembered his text.

  At least I knew I impressed him with my belly shots... But why did he need to talk to me? What did I say? And what did I do with him that he so eagerly wants to do it again?

  He also called me babe, is that why he tried, and succeeded to kiss me yesterday... Did we have a thing?

I couldn't know for sure, but I needed to find out... If we did have a thing why would he do that to me?

  I mean I had been thinking about it for a while now, I can't see any reason why he would...

  I realized that when I gained consciousness again he wasn't there. But I was with him when I fainted... Then when I finally got up form my little 'nap' , he came running to me with a football in his arms, panting?

  Was he really that shallow, to just take off when I fainted... And to play football.

  When I climbed out of that deep thought I noticed my coffee was cold, and I had set it on on the counter, my fists were so tightly clenched together, my knuckles had Broken my tan and turned pale white. I was really angry with him. But what made me even more mad, was that I passionately made out with him, after recovering from a faint... And he didn't feel guilty for running off like that. He must think I'm easy.

  "That's it. I can't have him think I'm easy" I said under my breath with a determined tone.

  It crossed my mind that perhaps the night before last also gave him the idea I was easy too. ' Any time you want to do it again'what could that even mean?

Deep in a cocoon of thoughts I was abruptly pulled out by the vibration of my phone.

"Jewels Carter." called a familiar voice,

" what the F were you doing 2 nights ago, how come you didn't call me?"

" Kay," I sighed in relief, I needed her.

"I have so much to tell you Kay, come over today alright?" I asked.

" Well duh, what else would I be doing? I totally have to find out what you and Van Dyke have been up to" she teased.

" Just get over here would you?" I asked, desperate to download onto someone.

It took about three hours until she arrived, I wasted no time. I grabbed her, dragged upstairs and started from the beginning.

"So" I started.

"The night before, you know when we went out together... things got a little heated apparently" I continued.

" I don't remember much but look what Van Dyke sent me the next morning" I said as I showed her the message.

I watched her eyebrows raise and her jaw begin to sink.

" Jewels! you went totally a wall! what did you guys do? Belly shots? Dude I don't believe it!" she said quickly and excitedly.

" Yeah, yeah okay... but there's more Kay!" I added
