Chapter 21 - We're Screwed

-Violet's POV-

I woke up to being in someone's bed. I didn't recognize who's it was until I looked over- Brennen?? Oh yeah, I forgot I came over last night but I don't remember getting in his bed. I wasn't even wearing what I wore here either. I was only wearing my underclothing and one of Brennen's t-shirts.

"Oh shit." My eyes went huge. I was hoping that he offered for me to change last night. Or the parts of the night that I forgot about at least. Other than that I could only think of one thing.

Brennen rolled over the other side of the bed and faced me. The sunlight peered through the shades hitting his eyes. He slowly opened them, "V-Violet?"

"Uh, good morning?" I had no idea how to make this situation less awkward for the both of us.

He yawned and sat up next to me. "I don't remember much from last night, besides us making out." He looked over at his nightstand and looked back at me.

"We made out last night?" I must've been way too drunk to remember that.

"You really seemed to like it though." Brennen licked his lips and smirked at me.

"We didn't- uh, you know. Did we?" I was really hoping he'd say no, otherwise I would've felt completely screwed.

"Honestly, I'm not entirely sure. But I think we might've been close." He picked up a package that was still closed, showed it to me and threw it back into his nightstand drawer.

I puffed out my cheeks and started to laugh, "No way. I don't even remember getting drunk with you."

"You get way drunker than I do. You said to surprise you with a drink and I did. I didn't know it'd knock you out that hard to where you remember almost nothing from last night." Brennen laughed at me.

"Yeah, yeah. But you remember us kissing- so, does that mean that you didn't want it to stop?" I froze for a second, "Like you knew?"

"Yeah. I mean, yeah, I knew. But I was getting really drunk too and I swear I don't remember anything else after that had happened." He leaned onto his elbow, and scratched the back of his head.

We both sat in silence for about thirty seconds, still both sitting in the bed next to each other.

"You do you look pretty cute in my shirt though." Of course Brennen had to break the silence between us.

I looked down and blushed.

"Maybe, we should, uh- kiss again." He reached in for my face and before I could answer I felt his lips press against mine.

After a couple seconds I pulled away, "You're a really good kisser." I hesitated, "I just don't know if I'm ready for this- for you, or for anyone. You know?"

Brennen looked a little upset that I said that, "No, yeah, yeah. I get it. No worries."

I brushed my hand over and held it on top of his, "I'm sorry. Do you think I could take a quick shower and you could drop me off at home after?"

"Yeah, for sure. Anything for you."

A/N

This is super awkward. It would be a shame if someone were to show up while Violet is at Brennen's house. Just the two of them alone...
