Bonus Chapter 1: That One Time

~Artemis: Age 19~

       Nothing I did was going to make me feel better. Not sitting on my bed, wearing one of Seb's shirt that he let me borrowm not knowing that he wasn't going to get it back. Not scrolling through the photo album on my phone dedicated to him. Not doing all of this with tears in my eyes.

       I ruined everything between us. Seb was not only my best friend, but he was the love of my life. He was the only person I could be myself around. He was the only person I feel could make me as happy as he made me.

       He was never going to talk to me again.

       I shouldn't have have drank. I should have waited for Seb to come back and talk to him instead of drinking to get my mind off of him.

       I was such an idiot.

       There was a rapid tapping at my bedroom window, so I looked over, seeing Seb crouched down on the roof under it. I put my phone on my bedside table before getting off my bed and walked over to the window. I opened it and wiped my tears away. "Seb, please don't hate me," I said. "I was just....I just...."

       "Artie, I should be the sorry one," he said. "I didn't mean to ignore you and Dax on the road trip. The first time Dax called, I was about to answer but my friends and I got to the first sight-seeing place and cell phones had to go on silent and I forgot to turn it back on after and I forgot about my phone and I know it's a stupid reason. Can I come in?"

       I nodded and helped Seb into my bedroom before closing the window. We sat down on my bed and it was silent for a bit between us. I didn't know what to say to him. I doubt an apology for making out with his younger brother would fix whatever was going on between us.

       "How far did you two go?" Seb asked. "I know Dax said it was a lot of kissing, but....How far?"

       I didn't want to tell him the truth, but I couldn't lie to him. "We, um....We were close to sleeping together, I think. I-I can't remember everything but when I woke up, our shirts were off. I'm so sorry, Seb. I wouldn't have done it if....if I wasn't drunk and I....I don't want to lose you. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me and I know you probably won't give me another chance, but...."

       "Artie," Seb interrupted. "Of course I'm going to give you another chance. I'm not mad."

       "You're....you're not?" I asked.

       "Well, I was at first," Seb said. "But....Artie, I know you didn't mean it. Being drunk probably just made those memories of when you liked him or had a thing for him or whatever come back, and same for him."

       "Wait....what?"

       Seb sighed. "Dax had a crush on you when he was fifteen. Even when he knew that I liked you, he liked you too, but he knew he didn't stand a chance. I mean, look at me."

       I smiled at him before looking down. "So....We're....we're still together?"

       "Yeah," Seb said. "I love you a lot, Artie. I'm not going to let this come between us."

       "I love you too, Seb," I said. "I really am sorry. I was just missing you because we just got back together."

       "I know," Seb said. "Maybe I should have gone on the road trip later on."

       "Yeah, maybe," I said. "It would have stopped all this....mess."

       "Well, that," Seb said, "and we haven't really done anything for a while, not since before we broke up. Are you parents home?"

       "No, they're visiting my grandma," I said. "Why?"

       Seb just smiled before cupping my face in his hands and pressing his lips on mine. He gently lowered me on my bed and hovered over me, kissing me passionately, like I was the oxygen he needed.

       My hands trailed down his chest before going to the end of his shirt. I gripped it tightly before lifting it up and pulling it over his head. He smiled at me and gripped the bottom of my shirt. However, he didn't pull it off quite yet. "Hey, I was looking for this shirt," he said. "How'd you get it?"

       "You let me borrow it," I said. "You really thought I was going to give it back."

       Seb rolled his eyes. "Well, since it's mine, then I do believe I can take it back. Right now. While taking it off of your gorgeous body." He pulled it over my head before connecting our lips again.

       I rolled us over so I was sitting on top of him, my legs straddling his waist. I moved my lips to his neck, kissing his sweet spot before nipping on the skin there. His hands were gripping my hips tightly while I was kissing his neck. I then pulled away and gave him a smile. "You're getting a little excited down there," I said.

       "Can you blame me?" he asked before rolling us over again. He gave me a quick kiss before looking at me. "I am the better kisser, right? Out of me and Dax?"

       "Definitely," I said before pulling him back to me.

        I was happy we weren't letting anything come between us.

       But....

       It never occured to us to use a condom that one time.

*mind explosion* I was surprised nobody guessed it in Smythe #2. This was how Artemis got pregnant; when she and Seb had make up sex after she made out with Dax. cx

There's probably going to be a lot of Gemma x Marcus bonus chapters because I love them so much. cx I really want to write their book ands it's supposed to come after Ty's book, but I'm not even sure if I should do Ty's book because I have nothing for it besides him getting a girl pregnant. There's really nothing for his story now anyway, so I might just do Gemma and Marcus's after Dax's second. Then Atticus, Seb's son, gets a book too. :)
