Pretty Brown Eyes

Chapter 13

« Kenna's Point of View »

I was sitting in bed with Aaron watching TV when my phone flashed, signaling a text message.

From: Madi
so I slept with Jc..

My eyes widened fast. I quickly unlocked my phone and was typing fast.

To: Madi
madi.. seriously?

From: Madi
I'm so serious..

To: Madi
when will you be back?

"Now," she said, knocking on our hotel door.

Aaron was asleep, which I hadn't figured out until now. I jumped up, wearing only pajama bottoms and a Hayes Grier crop top.

"Are you insane?" I whisper yelled.

She took a sneak peek at the sleeping boy in my bed, then shrugged her shoulders.

I walked out of the room and in the hallway. I didn't have a bit of makeup on, and my hair was in a side ponytail, while Madi, of course, looked great.

"So what happened?" I asked her as we sat in the hallway.

"We had Starbucks, talked forever, went to the hotel, kissed, and had sex," she explained.

"That's it?" I said, grasping my locked phone.

"That's it."

"What was it like?" I asked her.

I was still a virgin, while Madi had done this one other time, that I knew of, and now with Jc.

"He was kind, and he would always make sure that I was okay, and that I wanted to do it," she said.

"Aw," I cooed.

"Yeah. He treats me respectfully," she said, looking back at her hotel room door, "but I miss Taylor."

"Speaking of Taylor," I hinted at her that he didn't know.

"Fuck. I gotta tell him, don't I?"

I nodded my head. She placed a hand on her shaking head.

"How are you going to tell him?" I asked her.

"I just have to. Taylor and I need to have a long, serious talk," she said.

"You really do. You can't get mad at him, Madi," I said.

"Why the hell not?"

"Because," I explained, "while he was cheating on you over text message, you did physically sleep with another guy. One of Taylor's close friends, actually."

"You're right," she said.

I could immediately see guilt in her eyes, and hear the sadness in her throat.

"Go talk to him, now," I said, pointing towards the door.

We stood up.

"I will," she hugged me, I hugged her back.

"Love you," I said, standing up, watching her pull out her card and unlock the door.

Once she was inside and the door was shut, I walked back to our door. I grabbed the handle, and that's when I realized..

I left the card inside.

"Shit," I said, laughing at myself.

I pulled my phone out and called Aaron, knowing he wouldn't pick up anyways.

The phone rang twice before he answered, surprisingly.

"Where even are you?" he asked in a raspy, morning voice.

"Standing outside the door. Come let me in," I said, anxiously.

"Why should I?" he replied.

"Because I really want to kiss you," I said, honestly.

Aaron was cute, I admit it. He was so adorable, but in the mornings..

He was a completely different person. He was hot, and just.. Lord.

"Aaron, let me in."

"Okay, okay. It's a tempting offer," he said.

I hung up, seeing the handle pull down. As soon as the door was opened, I came in, seeing him standing there. He didn't have a shirt on, and he was only wearing basketball shorts. His freckles on his shoulders were revealed. I jumped on him, wrapping my hands around his neck.

"You're really attractive," I said.

"So are you," he replied, kissing my nose.

"Nope," I said.

I grabbed his face and kissed his lips. I could feel him smiling through the kiss, but I really couldn't tell if that was him, or if it was just me, because I had been smiling, too.
