Aftermath

Chapter Fourteen - So Many Qustions

We had just gotten to school right as lunch was over, I didn't get to see Collin since he left which I was kinda disappointed about. The rest of the day felt as if time was a slug and slowly went on, I had tried texting him but he didn't respond, I know that we both really needed to focus on school with the SAT's coming up, maybe that's why he wasn't responding. Zoey had met me at my last period, she seemed kinda distant like she was off in her little world, everyone has been acting really weird today.  "You okay, Zoe?"  She looked up at me smiling and nodded.  "Yeah... just in my head."  "Anything you want to talk about?"  She bit her lower lip but shook her head.  "Bs. Zoe, you can talk to me."   She let out a long sigh.  "I found out that you dated my brother.... why didn't you tell me?"  Grabbing her arm I pulled her into the nearest empty class room.  "Look, Zoe... things between your brother and I are complicated."  "But why didn't you tell me? Are you only friends with me because you knew who I was?"  "No, no! Zoe, I had no clue until the assembly that day. I don't care who you're related to, you're my friend because I like you and enjoy spending time with you."  She gave me a small smile before wrapping her arms around my waist hugging me.  "Thanks, Sutton. I really like hanging out with you and the others, I actually feel like I'm apart of your group."  Hugging her back, I felt horrible for making her feel that way but glad we cleared it up. 

"Everything okay in here?" Collin asked coming in just as we pulled apart, Zoey looked back at him and nodded her head.  "Yeah, Sutton was just giving me some advice."  He nodded then smiled reaching his arm out for her to hug him, she gladly accepted.  "Do I need to kick someone's ass for you, Z?"  He asked as they pulled apart.  "No way! I can kick ass all on my own!" We all laughed until a phone dinged.  "Shit, my brothers here. I'll see you guys tomorrow!"  She waved before running out the door, Collin looked up at me raising a brow.  "Have you talked to your mom?"  He asked walking towards me. "Yeah, she seemed upset this morning. I think the whole divorce thing is really getting to her."  He rolled his eyes, I kinda felt offended at that.  "What's with the eye roll?"  "I just don't get why you'd miss someone who made your life hell?"  "They were together 19 years, that's a long time to be with someone."  "Yeah, I suppose you're right."  He pulled me to him then leaned down capturing my lips in a kiss, out of habit I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer.  "You know it's dangerous to wear skirts in public, right?" He mumbled against my lips, pulling back I looked at him confused then down to my floral knee length skirt. "Why?"  His hand fell down then started trailing up my bare leg and further up until it was placed against my thigh.  "Because, I have easy access to you."  He said breathlessly as his fingers dipped into my panties touching me.  "Ooh, shit..." I whispered as he began working my bundle of nerves, he took my lower lips between his teeth as he finally sunk a finger deep into me. The soft moan that escaped me had him coving my mouth with his in a deep kiss, I don't know why I always let him seduce me in the most horrible places, I really need to learn to keep myself in check, I'll work on it another day, right now I was enjoying the pleasure he was giving.

After our little session in the empty class we were now at the office, Bill and Brendon were both in today so that means Collin actually had to do his job. My desk was stacked with files that needed to be finalized, it was definitely a bit overwhelming especially with homework and studying I needed more time in my days. Letting out a frustrated sigh as I started on my sixth file, it was already 7:45 but I still had three more files that were urgent, Collin had went and bought take out from the local Chinese for dinner for us. Bill still hasn't come out of his office, he seemed even more stressed than I've ever seen him before, Collin would pop in and check on him once in a while as he waited for me. Brendon had left about three hours ago, he gave me his heart melting smile but it didn't effect me as much as it used to, I was happy about that. "Babe, can't you finish these tomorrow?" Collin asked getting antsy, I knew he was getting tired, it was making me feel guilty for keeping him here and giving Jade my car. "You can go ahead and go home, I'll just have my mom come pick me up." He sighed shaking his head. "Um, no." He snapped sitting back in V's desk chair, he went back to playing his game on his phone. By the time I had finished all the important files it was 9pm on the dot, Collin was snoring in the chair next to me, quickly gathering my things I walked over to him and gently shook him awake.  "Hey... I'm ready to go."   He slowly opened his eyes and sat up, checking his phone he looked back over to his fathers office.  "Has he come out yet?"   "No, I don't think so." He stood up and made he was into the office, I fallowed behind him curious to see what's keeping him here so late.
