Fifteen minutes after Eldridge gives me a blowjob I still have some sort of funny feeling or need inside. It's so unfamiliar to me that it makes me a little emotional.

After our most intimate moment together he just handed me my clothes and said he'd be right back.

I'm now seated fully dressed on his bed. I really want to go home. I forgot to call Christian to tell him not to wait up. I also don't know how to tell him that I'll be staying with Eldridge for the night.

I sit quietly for some time thinking about random stuff, before my phone starts ringing.

Chris.

I look at my watch and see that it's already past midnight. He's probably worried.

"Hey Chris" I say into the phone when I pick up.

"Oh no. Don't you dare 'hey Chris' me. Why is your boyfriend calling me after midnight to tell me you'll be staying at his house? Do you even remember that you have school tomorrow?" Christian yells on the other side of the line.

"Oh shit! I..." I try saying, but he cuts me off.

"You forgot! That's what you're going to say right? I can't believe this. Since when do you of all people forget about school? And why couldn't you call me yourself? You had to asks your rude boyfriend to call me and tell me you're skipping school. What kind of nonsense is that?" He scolds again.

"I didn't ask him. I didn't even know he...." I start but he cuts me off again.

"That's enough. You better get your ass home right now, cause if you don't I will find you and it won't be pretty. Is that clear?"

"Yes. I'm...I'm on my way" I say softly and hang up, as a shiver at the coldness in his voice.

"Who's that?" Eldridge's voice asks behind me.

I turn around and look at him, feeling my anger rising up.

"Why the fuck did you call him? It wasn't your job to do so. I.... You know what? I'm going. Thanks to you he's mad at me and for what?" I yell, not caring if I wake Drew up and walk out of the room.

"Chaniëlle wait. You forgot to call him, so I thought..."

"You thought what? Please don't come between my best friend and I. He's been there for me every second of the way and I don't intend to lose him. Not even for you"

"Chaniëlle I'm sorry"

"I gotta go. I have school tomorrow"

"You can stay until your friend calms down. You're in college so you can easily skip school. You don't have to go" he suggests.

"Don't you get it? I'm not fucking skipping school. I'm going home"

"You're going to his house?" He asks.

"Yes. Which is also my home! Do you have a problem with that?"

He steps back a little like I pushed him. Kind of like I slapped him very hard.

My phone starts ringing again and I pick up, knowing it's Christian.

"Hello?"

"I'm waiting for you outside. Don't let me come in there" he says and hangs up before I can answer.

How the fuck did he get here so fast?! Did he fly or something?

Eldridge is standing against the wall with his head down. I feel bad for yelling at him, but what he did was not right.

Christian won't get mad just like that. He must have said something that pissed him off.

I walk toward the door and he calls my name. I turn around and he says "I'm sorry I ruined our first day of intimacy. I didn't mean to"

I look into his eyes for a second and walk away without saying anything.

I'll deal with him another day. Right now there's a furious puma waiting for me outside.

When I step into the car he doesn't look at me and he doesn't say anything. He just drives off before I finish buckling my seatbelt.

I want to asks him what about my car, but I don't dare to asks him or say anything right now.

His silence is killing me. I'd rather have him yelling at me like crazy, cause then I'll know what he's thinking. But when he doesn't say anything it makes it difficult for me to know how thin the line I'm standing on, actually is.

His speed right now is a lot higher than the normal speed he drives with. I'm scared, but I can't say anything. The only thing going through my head is "oh shit! We're gonna die!"

When he parks his car in the garage he steps out and shuts the door very hard, making me jump in my seat.

He walks into the house leaving me alone in the garage. I step out and follow him.

"Are...are you mad?" I dare to ask as he throws his car keys on the table.

"Mad! Mad? That Chaniëlle Righters is an understatement" he hisses trough clenched teeth.

Well he used my full name, so that means he's totally furious right now.

He walks into the kitchen and I follow him again. I want to know what Eldridge told him.

"I didn't know he called you. I didn't ask him to..... What did he say to you?"

"What he said is not the fucking issue here. Since when do you stay out this late without letting people know whether you're coming back or not? If you and your boyfriend want to do your shit all night long, that's not my fucking problem. You're an adult. But here's the thing you have to think about very well. What kind of boyfriend calls another guy after an intimate moment just to make him jealous? That means he doesn't respect you and that makes me mad. And then he has the audacity to tell me your skipping school. If a good guy wants you to have a bright future he will never tell you to skip school. Instead he will encourage you to make the right choices. Something you completely forgot how to do. I don't now what you're trying to prove, but you have to sit down and think about the choices you've been making lately. How far will they bring you? Let this be the first and last time you show this irresponsible behavior. If your boyfriend can't respect you and the private moments you two share, then he doesn't deserve you"

When Christian is done yelling at me he's out of breath. I can't believe Eldridge called him just to tell him what we did. I feel so dirty and emotional and vulnerable and fragile.

I can't yell back at Christian, cause I know he's right. I know he's not saying any of this out of jealousy, but because he cares.

"At least you could stop yelling at me" I say softly before I burst into tears.

Hi guys. Let me hear your thoughts about this chapter.

What do you have to say to Eldridge?

And what do you think of Chris's reaction to what happened? Did he deal with it in the wrong way or was that the perfect way?
