Choosing You

Chapter 13 💃🏼

Elise Layton 👠

I wake up feeling confused and open my eyes to see a slither of light shining in through the curtains.

Curtains that aren't mine.

What is going on and why the hell am I in Blake Coleman's bedroom?

I turn over and see Blake sleeping next to me. At first I take time to appreciate his gorgeous features, tanned skin and messy blond hair. Then I start to panic.

"Blake?" I ask, shaking him awake.

"Elise, it's Saturday, go back to sleep." He mumbles at me with his eyes closed.

"What the actual fu*k am I doing here?"

"Oh my god where's Daisy?!" Realisation that she should be staying at my house hits me like a train and my heart speeds up.

"She slept at Vince's." He throws his arm over his eyes and starts to go back to sleep.

"Blake?!" 

"Oh my goodness. Please tell me I didn't take your virginity last night while I was drunk." I say to him, realising I'm only wearing a T-shirt and that finally seems to get his attention.

"No, we didn't do anything. The way you just said that makes me think that you're not a virgin." He says, intrigued.

"No I'm not."

He nods his head and almost looks sad.

"I know you want to ask questions, so I'll just tell you. It was with my ex boyfriend Dan, just after my 16th birthday and he was four years older."

"He was twenty?!" Blake sounds outraged and I nod sadly.

"I'd been with him since I was fourteen."

His eyes widen in shock and he shakes his head.

"The more stuff you come out with the more confused I am."

"Why? What did I tell you?" I ask, worried.

"You kind of told everyone at the party last night, that the worst thing you've ever done was dealing drugs." He winces, as though he's worried about my reaction.

"Oh my god, I really should learn not to drink too much. Did I say anything else?"

"You told me I have sparkly eyes, you asked if Whitney was my girlfriend during 'truth or dare', you got into an argument with Kai Pierce, when he got pis*ed at you for asking me that and you wanted me to be your hoe."

I groan and cover my eyes.

"How fu*king embarrassing. I'm not coming out of my hands." I mumble to him and shake my head in my palms.

Blake puts his arms around me and pulls me against him. I lean into his embrace and release a sigh.

"Hey, you don't need to be embarrassed with me. And I'll always be your hoe." He chuckles and I feel his body shaking against mine.

I start laughing, drop my hands from my face and push him sideways.

"You idiot. I better get going and try to track Daisy down. You have that football game against West Lake high tonight, don't you?"

"Yeah, are you planning on coming?"

"Do you want me to?"

"I'd want you there at all my games from now on. How would you feel about wearing my jersey again?" He pulls his lips into his mouth in anticipation.
