No Fears

Chapter 10- Scott

WHAT THE HELL DID just happen? Did she seriously snapped at me and the run away because of what I said? Very mature Steph, for real.

It wasn't like what I had said was that bad. I was only saying that Austin had some stuff going on with his family, some serious fucked up shit that I wouldn't wish it even on my worst enemy. But it wasn't my secret to tell, and I had promised him I wouldn't tell anyone, I wasn't going to become a liar just now.

Why was she so upset about it anyway? Aly seemed to be handling better than her and she wasn't even the fucking victim. If she wanted to be angry at me for something as lame as that, then so be it. I wasn't going to beg her for forgiveness for this.

I was so mad that something as stupid as that silly argument- If you would even call that an argument- had ruined a perfectly good night. Up until that moment everything had been amazing. The restaurant, the food, the talk, fuck, I had even taken her to my favorite place in the world. I remember now why I was so keen in avoiding relationships. They were complicated, stressful and they made you feel like shit. It wasn't worth my time.

Yes the hours I had spent with her were probably the best I had in years, maybe even my entire life, but if that silly thing had been able to destroy everything that was good in a few minutes then it was bullshit. And I wasn't going to think about it anymore.

I went to my room, stripped from my pants and shirt and got into bed.

Against all my will, I looked through my phone to see if there was something form her. Nothing. Fine, if she wasn't saying anything then neither would I.

Dammit. Now I felt like that thirteen-year-old girl again. What had I gotten myself into? Was it too late to get out now?

Probably.

Agh. This was ridiculous. I shut my light and went to sleep.

***

Would it be too bad if I called her already? I asked myself after I had woken up and showered. It was ten in the morning, so she had to be up. It wouldn't be that bad. I would call her but I wouldn't apologize, not if I didn't mean it. I was still not ready to become a liar.

Yes. That was it, I would call her but not say anything about last night, just wait and see if she says anything. I would keep it casual.

I started dialing her number. She wasn't picking up, this was stupid. I was stupid. Why I had to be the one who called first? Why I had to be the one to swallow my pride? I was about to end the call when she answered.

"Scott?" she asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"Thank god I made it in time, I was in the shower when I heard my phone ringing."

"So, you're like naked right now?" I asked. Please let her be naked. Now I was picturing her naked, shit. I couldn't be thinking about that right now. Oh but she looked so damn hot in my mind...

"Ha, ha. No, I'm with a towel." She answered.

"But you're naked underneath it." I stated teasingly.

"Scot, when I'm wearing any kind of clothes, I'm also naked underneath it..." I could hear her superiority tone.

Shit, she had a point, would I ever be able to have the last word with her. Probably not, but I didn't care.

I laughed. She started laughing too.

"Anyway, I'm glad you called, I was planning on calling you after my shower." She said.
