We stood there staring awkwardly at each other. Ohmygod, that body of his.
Finally, I tore my eyes away and looked down at myself only to see dry mud caked up and down my shirt. "Do you mind if I borrow a shirt while I soak this mud out?"
After he disappeared into his closet, I took the time to take off my stained shirt, silently thanking myself for wearing my new white lacy bra. I checked my reflection out in the mirror. Damn, I have a nice rack.
"Here's one of my old-" he stopped mid-sentence, and stared with his mouth gaping.
Cheeks flaming, I casually sauntered over to him to grab the shirt. "Are you done undressing me with your eyes yet?" I teased, with a wink.
His eyes quickly snapped up to mine, and I noticed his cheeks were a slight pink. Too soon, that confident smirk came back. "You know, this shirt is dirty. Guess you can't wear it." he said taking his shirt back from my hands and tossing it across the room.
I pouted. "But I'm cold!" I then proceeded to pull his blanket off his bed and wrap it around me.
He cocked his head to the side, “Maybe I can help with that?" he smirked. He pulled the ends of the blanket from my hands and wrapped the remaining threads around himself. We were so close that I could hear the steadiness of his heart from inside the blanket. Holding me gaze, he led us toward his bed, and pushed me down onto the sheets.
I'm in bed, half naked with my boyfriend’s best friend.
Shit.
My phone started beeping, and I tried untangle myself from the blanket, and check who texted me, but Nate pulled me back and I felt his hot breath in my ear, "Stay." I sighed, feeling goosebumps rise where his hot breath landed, and leaned back against him. He kissed up my neck and jawline leaving a hot trail that led to my lips.
"Nate..." I started. He cut me off with another kiss, and I felt my breath catch. But this time when he pulled away, I moved my legs and pushed myself up onto him. I straddled him, tangling my hands in his hair and kissing him with all I had. His eyes were wide with surprise, but I knew he wasn't one to hold back. He moved his hands to the small of my back and pushed me closer, entrapping us even further in the threads of his blanket. I pressed my lips to his, loving how rough, but gentle they were against my own. He traced his tongue on my bottom lip wanting to deepen the kiss…
Again, my phone beeped.
Realization dawning on me, I pushed him back and walked over to check who wants my attention so bad. Also aware Nate was checking out my ass, I made a show of bending and snapping. Legally Blonde has taught me well.
My phone signaled that, Darell , one of Tye’s few friends that I actually grew close with, had sent me 5 messages. Sighing, a smile came to my lips and, I opened the first one. My eyes crossed a picture of Tye and Alice kissing near a row of lockers. On the bottom of the picture, Darell managed to add "After 5th period, I'm sorry. I just wanted you to know."
That was before Nate had kissed me. The smile dropped. I scanned the rest of the messages, that were just repeats of the same picture from different people, and shut my eyes, unable to even handle the image on the screen. I didn't even realize I had lost my grip on the phone until I heard it hit the carpet beneath me.
Nate hurried over, concern clean on his face, and still trapped in the blanket, only to lean down and pick it up. His eyes grew even wider, as he looked from me to the phone and back again.
“I’m sorry…” He trailed off.
“You didn’t even do anything... I should go.” I snapped, and started rubbing my temples.
“Don’t leave. Stay with me, please? Val, I can’t let you go home like this. Please stay?” He begged and then started massaging my back.
I guess the saying, “what goes around comes back around” sure hit me in the face.
My boyfriend and my best friend are hooking up. I closed my eyes again. This is exactly why it was so easy for me to come with Nate. I knew in my heart that there was something more between them. I knew it all along! Tye and Alice both tried convincing me I was being delusional, but I knew. Just friends my ass. I tried to control myself by breathing deeply, but all i felt was anger, frustration, and hurt... No! I'm not going to let him do this to me... One thought crossed my mind and the rest went blank.
Revenge.
“You know what Nate? I think I’ll stay.” I said smiling sweetly at him.
“Wait…really?!” He exclaimed a little too excited.
“Yeah.” I pulled him over to his bed shoved him down. I then proceeded to climb on top of him, bringing my lips to his with almost a growl. Maybe a little too forcibly. But he seemed to go along with it. His hands were running up and down the clasp of my bra, I small moan escaped my mout and finally when we broke a bit to breathe, I gasped, “Nate, just take it off.”
He stopped and cupped my face, his solid hands forcing my eyes to his own. “Val, are you sure? I mean…”
My brain started functioning again; everything that just happened with Alice and Tye came reeling back to me. My eyes started watering and wouldn't stop. I sobbed into Nate’s chest and just lay there crying. He stroked my hair and murmured how everything was going to be okay and that he’d be there for me no matter what.
I called my mom, and told her I would be spending the night at Aria’s.
But instead I spent the rest of the right snuggled up in Nate’s protective embrace.
Tomorrow is going to be a living hell. But at least tonight doesn't have to be.
