Complicated - Shayne Topp/Courtney Miller - Shourtney

Chapter Four

Hi guys! Um holy crap I'm at 300 reads! Thank you so much for all the votes and comments. It makes my day to read all the nice things you have to say. I hope you enjoy this update! (!look at the authors note at the end of the chapter for some important questions!)

Shayne's POV
Courtney was kissing me. Holy shit. I kissed her back with everything I had in me.
She steps towards me, giving me time to pull us onto the couch and hold her in my lap. I finally think straight and pull away.
"Court, this is wrong. What about Drew?"
We breathe together, in and out.
"No one has to know." She whispers.
"No this isn't what I wanted. You're not just a hookup Courtney."
Courtney stops and puts a hand on my chest.
"That's not what I meant." She looks down.
I gently pull her off me and get up to leave. She jumps up after me and grabs my hand.
"Shayne please. Don't go. We can work this out. I want this."
I sigh, wishing I could take her back into my arms.
"Not here. Not now. Not like this. Call me if you break up." I open up the door and walk out to my car.
I do all I can to hide my swollen lips and messed up hair.
Sitting down in the drivers seat I can't seem to bring myself to drive off. Goddamn it I want her.
I want her more than I've ever wanted anything in my life. She's like the forbidden fruit I shouldn't have and as soon as I take a bite I have to stop.
I can't do that to her or her boyfriend. For all I know he's a great guy. Courtney seems so happy.
I just don't understand why she would kiss me back. Maybe I shouldn't have kissed her in the first place.
I felt like my whole body was on fire. I kept gulping air but it still felt like I couldn't breathe.
Even by the time I got home, showered, and hopped into bed, I was still thinking of her.

Courtney's POV
I screwed up big time.
His kisses were so soft and warm. What the hell am I doing?
I never thought of myself as the cheating type.
My stomach is sinking and my head is pounding. My lips are swollen and my shirt is wrinkled and bunched from where his hands had roamed my torso.
My palms are sweating and my hands shake as I sit in the back of the Uber.
The driver is playing a popular breakup song. How appropriate.
"Thank you so much." The driver nods and I head up to my apartment.
The water from the shower head rolls down my back and gives me some comfort in this confusing moment.
I hear the door to my apartment click and realize that Drew is coming in. I hop out of the shower, dry off, and throw on my pajamas quickly to come out and greet him.
"Courtney, I have to tell you something."
I take a sharp intake of breath and sit down on the couch.
Drew faces me and twists his hands around in his lap.
"I know you aren't happy with me. I'm not blind. I see the way you look at Shayne." He pauses and looks down, "Courtney I think you deserve the world and I think we both deserve better than what we have."
I get up to hug him and my voice starts to shake, "I'm so sorry it had to be this way."
We say our goodbyes and he returns the key to my apartment.
At the end of a long day, my eyes flutter closed as I feel a weight lift off my shoulders.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! As per usual I should have another one up in a few days. I was wondering a few things and would love some input from some readers. I can't decide whether I should add actual smut or to save that for a specific book. (I plan on writing some oneshots) Also, I can't decide on how I would like Shayne's character to be. What would you like to see, is he the jealous type, is he possessive, etc. Let me know if you have any ideas! Thanks for reading!
