Begging On Your Knees✔️(Wattpad version)

New guy, new games, new rules

Amelia

After that night, things were better between Colton and Reed. It wasn't a lot, but a little better. I didn't feel like there was a tug at war, and I was the rope.

The police arrested Reed's dad for child abuse, and Reed had to make a statement. My parents stepped in and helped him. I still couldn't believe he endured that. It just boggles my mind.

Luana and April hung around more, making us our little circle of friends. Even Jaime started allocating himself into our group also, though Colton had reservations. I think he was just friendly. Colton thought he was trying to get into my pants.

Yeah, this was still an issue between us. I didn't have time to deal with Colton's insecurities and lack of trust. Either he trusts me, or he doesn't, but I would not defend myself always to him.

As for the people involved with that stupid bet, it turned out it wasn't just Aria and Lily, but there were four other girls and four football players involved. The school suspended all ten of them. The students had to go in front of the school board, along with their parents. The school board had to determine if expulsion would happen.

They deserved whatever they got. I didn't wish everyone involved ill, but what those people did was cruel. I didn't realize being easy was mandatory to have someone like you. People are in such a rush to have sex that they forget it's supposed to mean something.

I didn't wait because I was a prude. I waited because I wanted it to mean more. That was a big deal, and to have it without love made it seem less important.

I got to know Jaime more. He was charming. I guess being new has its advantages, but not so much where it concerned Colton.

That leads to another problem.

Colton

I found the new guy at his locker. I didn't bother to remember his name because it wasn't necessary. What was important was the fact he seemed a little too close to Amelia? I still didn't trust Reed, but I'll deal with him later.

I stood there as he asked, "Need something?"

"I want you to back off, Amelia," I said, a matter of fact.

He turned and looked at me. "You're one of those American boys that feel threatened, aren't you?"

"Not threatened, but I will not hesitate to beat your ass, if you do anything to her," I warned him.

He closed his locker and rubbed his forehead. "Let me explain something to you. Girls don't like a jealous, possessive bloke like you. It's a turnoff. It shows you're insecure."

"Who says I'm insecure," I asked him, not flinching.

"It's all written on your face. Also, the way you act speaks volumes. Most people might find that enduring, but it's pretty stupid," he said as I stood there. At that moment, I wanted to beat the living hell out of him, but I didn't. I didn't want to give him the satisfaction.

"If I were you, I would seriously rethink all that you know, dipstick," he finished before turning around and walking away. That made me hate him even more.

Jaime

These American boys have a lot to learn. Fear and intimidation seem like their objectives. Act all jealous and whatnot, and the girls come running. All I have to do is open my mouth, and the American girls come running. They dig Aussie accents.

The problem with Colton is he felt threatened by anyone who remotely talked to Amelia. No wonder why it irritated her with him most of the time. I would be too.

My last boyfriend acted just like Colton. It got to the point; I told him to rack off. I prefer someone more confident. Personally, Colton would be a beaut if his personality was better.

Another time, another place.

Amelia

After school, I went to my locker and got my stuff out as I felt someone breathing on me. I turned to see Colton standing there.

"It would be easier if you announced yourself, and not be brooding," I said as I pulled out my bag.

"It would be easier if you would decide," he said to me.

"Decide about what," I asked him.

"Us," he answered.

I turned and looked at him, "Okay, then maybe you should cool it with the distrust and insecurity."

"I'm not insecure," he said.

"Oh, you aren't? Then explain to me, how come every time I turn around, you have an attitude of someone?" He looked at me. "Colton, I never gave you a reason not to trust me. I get people haven't given you much reason to trust them, but I'm not that person."

I looked at him. I didn't know how much more I could convince him; I had no interest in other people, not Reed, not Jaime, not anyone. The only one I had an interest in didn't trust me.

I think we were at an impasse with this, at least until he figures out if he wants to trust me or not.

Reed

It was weird not having to worry about coming home and meeting a belt. Amelia's parents were terrific, especially her dad Luke. He wasn't like most parents. I can see where Amelia got her heart from with him.

I sat in the locker room, changing, trying to divert my eyes. Most of the team had already suited up and went out into the practice, leaving me to my thoughts.

I heard a door open as I finished suiting up. I turned to see Jaime come in and start changing.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Trying out for yank football. Not the football I'm used to, but I was captain of my rugby team back home," he said in a silky accent. Damn.

I watched as he changed and it built him. I don't think there was an ounce of fat on him.

I turned my head to keep him from catching me staring. Shit.

"I'll meet you out on the field," I mumbled as he looked at me. I turned and walked away. As I turned the corner of the locker, I stopped and peeked around them to see him dress. Damn.

Stop it, Reed. No one will understand, and everyone will laugh at you, I thought to myself. With that, I made my way out onto the field.

How the hell do you tell people not only are you the quarterback of the football team, but you have the freaking hots for the new guy? It was the one secret I've told no one, and I don't think I ever will.
