One Weekend Of Giving In

Chapter 3

I stood there shocked at the information I recently discovered. Carly seemed to catch on "Wait Mac, is this the guy you said was a jerk and a manwhore?" Shit. My eyes widened and I looked at the ground.

"Woah, you said I was a jerk and a manwhore?" Jace laughed and placed his hand on his heart as if he was offended before walking to the bar. Without saying anything I went back outside to my chair and stayed there. Staying out there gave me time to think. Ugh I felt horrible that I'd said those things to my new roommate's brother. Not to mention we are currently at his house and planning on sleeping in his room. I should have kept my mouth shut. As if he knew I was thinking about him, Jace sat on the seat right next to me.

"You hiding?" I looked up to see that stupid sexy smirk

"Is it that obvious?"

He looked around and said "A little". "But tell me sweet Mac, what's a beautiful girl like you doing at my party?"

"I'm not sure what you are recalling, but I was invited by your sister." It came out a little harsher than I'd meant it to but it was too late to apologize.

His smirk was gone and he looked pissed. "You don't have to be invited to come to the party but look around, you don't necessarily fit in here Princess." Seriously? Rude much? Just before I could reply back he quickly stands up and says "If partying isn't much of your scene feel free to stay home next time." He shoots me one last glare before turning away. Shit. I've been here over a day and my time here in California is starting off soooo well. Ugh I'm probably going to regret this but... "Jace!" My voice stopped him. "Look I'm really sorry, I was really rude." A huff of laugh escaped his chest and I saw the corners of his mouth slightly tilt up. He didn't say anything, only turning around and walking to the side of the house. Heading back inside, I saw Carly stumbling out the back door. Yup she was definitely drunk.

"Maaacccckkkkeeennnzzziiieee!"

When I got close I hooked my arm through hers to help her re gain some balance before leading her into the living room.

"Sooo did you make out with anyone tonight." She asked.

"No." I muttered.

Before she can respond back I heard some guy in the kitchen yell "I can help with that!"

Oh shit. I shook my head and started to answer but Carly beat me to it "No no no uh uh hell to the no. I told you guys, she's off limits!"

The same guy who volunteered to make out with me started approaching us. "Oh come on Car, what's your deal?"

She leaned forward and said "She's pure! That's my deal, As in virgin, never had a boyfriend, never been kiss pure!"

My jaw dropped. And I quickly placed my hand on her mouth to keep her from saying more "CARLY!"

I was completely mortified and embarrassed. I wanted to be angry at her, but how could I? She was drunk!, she didn't know what she was doing. I doubt she would remember any of this tomorrow. Looking up, I saw 5 guys standing there with wide eyes before bursting into laughter. I needed someone to kill me. Now.

I heard one of the guys say "Oh my god! Is she serious?"

I couldn't even respond, my throat closed up and I thought I would actually cry for the very first time in years. Not thinking what I was doing, I made a run for the front door. I stopped when I realized Jace was right in front of me, blocking my only way in leaving this hell hole. He was the only one in the room not laughing. Instead he looked pissed? Shooting daggers to his sister and all the guys laughing.

I was on the verge of crying. "Jace. Please. Move." Instead of moving, he grabbed my shoulders and steered me back toward the living room. What was he doing?

"Don't touch me!" I hissed.

"Just trust me" he growled in my ear walking me past everyone. When he lead me down a hallway filled with rooms I suppose one of the guys from the kitchen yelled, "Looks like Jace is gonna take care of your little problem sweet pure Mackenzie." That brought in a new round of laughter.

When we got to the end of the hall stopping in front of a door, he pulled out a key to unlock it before pulling me inside with him. When I realized it was a bedroom, I panicked and tried to get out of his grasp. I tried as hard as I can but his grip was firm, I couldn't budge at all.

"No! Please stop! Let me go!"

"Not until you stop trying to hit me!" I stopped and he let me go. Once he did, I backed away.

"Calm down baby, I'm not going to touch you or do anything to you."

"Seriously?" "Stop calling me that, I'm not your baby."

He rolled his eyes and went to a drawer to hand me a pair of boxers before walking to the door.

"Put those on."

"Why?"

"You don't seriously want to sleep in that short skirt, do you?" When I looked up I see him biting his bottom lip and his eyes scanning my legs.

"I'd rather go back to my dorm and sleep there tonight."

"Look you're seriously hot without a doubt and if you head back to your dorm tonight, who knows, maybe one of those guys is going to chase after you. Trust me when I say they're going to want to get in your pants because of what they just found out. So if you don't mind, I'd rather make sure that doesn't happen by keeping you in here with me."

I didn't have anything to say back. He stepped out and within 3 seconds later I could hear him yelling at everyone who was laughing in the living room.

I was standing there, wearing his basketball shorts when he walked back in locking the door.

We didn't say anything to each other until I hear him pulling down the bed sheet covers.

"Come on Mac, get in."

I turned around and I had to fight to keep my eyes from his bare chest as I crawled into his bed. After he flipped off the lights I felt him crawl into bed with me. I quickly sat up. "Um... What do you think you are doing?"

"What do you mean??"

"I mean, you can't get in here with me in this same bed!"

He laughed "um.. Yes I can, it's my bed I'm sure I can do whatever I want."

Flipping the cover off me, I grabbed a pillow and laid down on the floor.

"Get back in the bed baby. You are being ridiculous."

I scoffed at my nickname and I could feel his eyes watching me even though it's pretty dark in here.

5 minutes later I was up in the air.

"JACE! Put me down!"

He dropped me onto the bed and crawled over me. Shit. What is he doing?!

"Jace! Please don't!"

"Calm down baby, like I said I'm not going to do anything to you. I'll stay on one side and have a pillow between us if that helps."

Obviously I have never been in a bed with a guy before and the fact that he was right next to me, left my body shaking and tingly.

"I swear Jace, if you touch me or lay a finger on me, I will go Jackie Chan on you!"

Not 5 seconds later his body was shaking with silent laughter. "Oh god baby, you are now my favorite."

"I wasn't kidding Jace!"

I could feel him moving closer and trailing his fingers up my arm.

"Someday baby, I'm sure you would be begging for me to touch you."

Ugh. His touch sent me shivers and tingles through my whole body. I quickly slapped his hand away.

"I'm serious Jace, I'm not one of those skanks who would love to be played by you."

"That's an understatement." He sighed before speaking again. "Get some sleep Mackenzie, I'll see you in the morning."
