Of Two Minds

Protector

I entered Luke's room, wearing my snug t-shirt and his basketball shorts. Taylor was right, he was playing another violent video game, gunshots and explosion sounds booming from the television. "Turn that down", I complained, trying to find something to say to cover up my guilt. The bed bounced as I plopped down onto it, next to him. He paused the game and swiftly, pushed me down, climbing on top of me. I gasped slightly, being caught off guard. "That was the longest shower ever" he smiled. I'm sure all the worry that was loaded inside me was showing on the outside. I tried not to let it show, though, as I quickly thought of an excuse.

"I...was taking a bath", I lied."Yeah?" He asked mockingly. "Yeah", I blurted out quickly, feeling apprehensive. He chuckled at my nervousness and just leaned down to kiss me. I kissed back, getting lost in his lips. Images of his brother flickered through my mind, I imagined myself kissing him. I was so close to moaning out his name, but I caught myself, snapping back to reality. My eyes shot open, when I realized Luke was busy trying to remove my shirt.

"Stop!", I pushed his chest slightly.He sat up looking at me confused. I just stared back at him in silence, so he thought I was teasing. "Yeah right", he brought his face back down to my neck, sucking on it softly. His hands ran up my waist from under my shirt.

"I'm serious", I pushed him off and sat up on the bed. "What's wrong Sel?", he asked, concerned now.

"Nothing, I just don't wanna do it right now."

"You okay?" he worried.

"Yeah, just not in the mood.", I lied. It wasn't like I wasn't in the mood, it was because I just did it with his brother, which was making me feel extra guilty. Plus Luke would be able to tell I just had sex, if he went down there. We sat there in silence for a few seconds, so I grabbed the controller and leaned onto his chest, "Come on let's play", I said, changing the awkward tone in the room.

The night after, we couldn't sit at home again like a bunch of losers. So we decided it was party time. I invited over a few of my old high school friends to join us. "Hey, hayyy!", I heard as I opened the door to my friends Taylor, Demi, and Miley."You guys!" I quickly gave them all a huge bear hug at the same time. I haven't seen them in months. All seven of us, me, Luke, Taylor, Tay, Demi, Demi's boyfriend, Zac and Miley, piled into Taylor's truck.

At the club, we popped bottles and got dirty on the dance floor. Oh what my mother would say if she witnessed this. Ha ha. I was having a good time until I saw some skanky-bitch all over my boyfriend. She had her hands all over him as she whispered in his ear. I walked over to them in my stilettos and plopped myself on the couch right between Luke and the chick. I smiled like I did nothing wrong.

"Uh", she scoffed, "Excuse me bitch, I was talking to him!"Oh no. Pause for a second. See this is the part where she regrets even opening her mouth, cause I know she did not just call me a bitch. I would have popped her in the mouth right then and there but, no, as the classy, composed woman I am, I decided to let her off with just a warning.

"Oh no, I don't think you were", I said to her calmly, "Because if you were, my foot would've been up your ass right about now."Her rude, macho expression instantly turned to a scared, innocent one, as that of a frightened stray kitty's. "Back off my boyfriend!", I barked, and she got up and ran off like a little mouse.

"Damn, you're feisty. I feel protected", Luke chuckled.

"No, I wouldn't have been rude if she didn't go calling me a bitch. That whore."He chuckled, "Well you know you got nothing to worry about, she's got nothing on you."Aww, look at him being all sweet and charming as usual.

"Come on", I walked him over to the dance floor.

Both Taylors sat on the couch. Tay held a drink in her hand and her cheeks turned a bright shade of pink as the other Taylor, whispered something into her ear. No way is he trying to hit on my best friend. That just isn't cool. And no, I'm not jealous. I just know he isn't the type of guy for her. He doesn't care about her, he would just try to get her in bed, and then throw her back into the pond like a little fish. I didn't want to go over there and pull her away, but I had to. I was just trying to protect her from the devil himself.
