Chapter 7

I kicked my bedroom door open as Laney placed sloppy kisses on the side of my neck. Turning around I held her against the door shutting it with her body. Her legs tightened around my waist while her mouth nipped at my jaw line.

I had gotton off of house arrest yesterday, I was free again and needed to make up for those dreadful two weeks. Luckily, Laney was in the need for company and I was happy to give it to her.

We moved backwards until i hit the edge of my bed sitting down on the unmade mess of blankets. In an instant her legs were on either side of my lap and her hands pulled my shirt over my head. She pulled back to run a hand through her hair, I suddenly tensed and she sensed it.

"You alright?" she asked running a hand down my bare chest.

"Yeah." I reassured tugging on her shirt.

"Ashton, I'm home!" mom yelled from downstairs.

"Fuck." I panicked pushing Laney off me landing on her ass.

"What the hell?" she groaned.

I didn't offer to help but quickly threw my shirt back on and fixed my crazed hair. I guess I lost track of time and didn't account for mom to be home so soon. In a sense I was kind of relieved to have an excuse to kick Laney out, everything was going great but then I started having second thoughts.

"Hey mom." I greeted climbing down the stairs.

"You have a friend over?" she nodded towards the heels by the front door.

"Yup she's about to leave though."

"Is it Kori? You should have her stay for dinner, she's such a lovely girl." she smiled fondly pulling out a pot and filling it with water.

I had to hold myself back from scoffing. I had pushed Kori to the back of my mind, a thing of the past. But it seemed that no matter where I went she popped up.

Laney emerged from my room not giving me a second glance as she put on her shoes and left making sure to slam the door. Mom gave me "the look" placing her hands on her hips.

I turned on my heel and plopped down on the couch. She was disappointed that I had gone back to my previous ways but what did she expect? I suppose my behavior had improved over the past few weeks but that was only temporary, she could kiss that Ashton good bye.

Someone knocked on the door interrupting my channel surfing. I sighed looking from the door to the couch deciding that the walk wasn't worth it.

"Mom the door!"

"Ashton get off your lazy butt and answer it!"

I rolled my eyes, women. Halfway to the door it opened revealing a tired looking Michael. The door was left unlock after white trash stormed out earlier.

"What are you doing out of your house?" I questioned in disbelief that Michael the vampire Clifford was standing in my house and not curled up in his bed.

"Ran out of food and the parentals won't be home till later." he shrugged sitting down where I had previously been sitting.

He kicked his legs up to rest on the coffee table with his arms behind his head, "How've you been?"

I sat next to him tucking my legs to my chest like a little kid. I actually considered telling Michael about how I felt at the moment but I would sound like such a teenage girl. Guys don't talk about their feelings. I'm not even sure if I have feelings they're more like thoughts.

"Before I fall asleep." He insisted.

"Fine. Nothing going on really."

"So you wouldn't mind if I hooked up with a certain brunette, Kori was it?" he teased.
