Cat and Mouse

Cat and Mouse - Chapter 2

It was already late. I massaged my neck and reached out to switch off the table light. Samantha was already in bed two hours ago, giving me enough time to finish up my assignments and read up some stuff. The handphone rang just as I came out of the bathroom. A glance at the screen told me that it was Greg. Part of me wanted to ignore it and just go to sleep. I was really tired and whatever it was, I was sure that it could wait for tomorrow. The other part of me unfortunately wanted to just hear what Greg had to say.

"Were you already asleep?" His voice sounded slurred. I continued massaging my neck, desperately wanting to just crawl into my warm bed and sleep.

"No, Greg, I'm obviously still awake. What's the matter?"

"You wanna come out and grab something to eat?" Undeniably unbelievable. I sighed and turned to look at the clock on my table. "Greg, it's 11.30 pm now. I can't just go out. I'm supposed to take care of Samantha."

"Oh yeah, right, I forgot," he mumbled incoherently.

"Aren't Sean and Pete there with you? Just go with them, ok? I gotta go now. Cya tomorrow morning, dude." I ended the call before he could even say anything. Greg could easily persuade me and I knew it. Hell, I guessed everyone knew that too. The moment my head hit the pillow, I drifted off into a deep slumber.

Greg's POV

The pounding in my head seemed to have worsened. It had seemed like a great idea to knock back those drinks but my head felt like the devil itself was pitching its fork around. I wished Evan had been around. I sighed and put away my phone.

"Yo, Greg! Come and watch this." I followed Jude out to the pool. There were several people in the pool. My eyes widened suddenly when I realised the lack of swimming attire. I grinned widely. Pete was busy making out in the pool with a chick. She didn't look familiar to me at all but it didn't matter.

I saw Brittany making her way to where I was. She was dressed in a sexy black dress. I smirked to myself. This was definitely worth my time.

"Hi there, Greg. Didn't see you earlier at all." The girl practically purred into my ear. A corner of my mouth lifted in amusement. I knew this game very well. I knew she had her little minions keeping tabs on my every movement since I stepped into the house. They had studiously lingered around me the entire time I was in the kitchen with the guys.

"Well, now that you've seen me, what do you intend to do to me?" I saw a glint in her eyes before a seductive smile made its way to her luscious lips. She trailed her manicured finger down my chest, igniting a rush of desire cruising through my veins. I didn't make any move though. Brittany stepped closer to me, slowly brushing her hip against my member.

"The real question is, Gregory, are you up to it?" With a smirk, Brittany moved away from me. Howls of laughter erupted from the pool. Some of the very drunk dudes were laughing at me. I reached out and pulled Brittany roughly back. Her back crashed against my chest. My left hand imprisoned her against my chest. Not that she was about to move away anyway. My right hand rested on her hip and I applied just enough pressure to squeeze her hip down and rub down her upper tigh.

I could sense that she liked it very much. She was rubbing her back against me. I kissed her neck softly and moved up to her ear. "If you're worth it, Brittany," I whispered in her ear, before turning her around to face me.

Before the night was over, the famous Brittany Knight was screaming my name.

I woke up the next morning with the mother of all headache. There was something heavy weighing me down. I rubbed my eyes and peered to see a mop of blonde hair on my chest. Last night came rushing back. I couldn't believe that I spent the night there. I cursed silently when I realised that it was already 7 am. Evan and I would usually go for our morning run every Saturday. I picked up my clothes and washed myself quickly in the shower area. Brittany was standing by her bedroom door when I came out.
