Midnight Pleasure

7. right or wrong brother?

Waking up to a silenced house was very odd for me.
Usually Caleb would be talking to mom or mom would be shouting that she's leaving for work but today there was nothing but silence. Today was the day after the incident with Caleb and Flynn, usually I'd be lying in after a week of long,boring school but I couldn't. My phone clock read 9:00am and I said I'd be at Leo's for 12:00pm so I better start getting ready now as nothing's better than a nice, fresh shower when your heads all over the place!

Decided to make an effort today as I knew I'd be having a lot of conversations with different people.
Today I curled my hair for the first time in months and it took me approx 50 minutes to do; so I'm praying they stay in :( My ginger hair has grown on me a lot over the past few weeks, having such beautiful, bright hair is the key to making your blue eyes POP I've come to realise!

My confidence has boosted a lot since Leo arrived at school; I'm very excited to see him today as I feel maybe we can discuss our feelings with each other for the first time as it has been around 3/4 months and I feel he's becoming a big part of my life; oh god I'm getting soppy now... but it's true :)

Looking at my reflection in my full length mirror I believe I'm now a more confident person, I'm not sure yet why but I'm convinced I'll find out. I decided to wear a red and white floral playsuit I've had for SO long but always put off wearing. I'm made my way downstairs for the first time this morning to the sign of no one? No wonder it was so quiet! I found a note on the kitchen counter noted;

I've gone to work early Chloe and Caleb has stayed at Mia's house overnight so I'm not sure when he'll be back! Help yourself to anything I've left you some money on the side, give me a call if you need me!
Love mom x

That's weird..
Mom almost never just leaves "early" for work.
It was 11:30am now so I decided to leave earlier so I could stay there longer. The shock of walking towards their house still haunted me, so beautiful but just so big! I haven't got the best memories of here but I'm hoping to make some better ones.
I ring the doorbell as I feel it's a sign of being more well presented and polite... I hope. His mom opens the door and to my surprise gives me a huge hug and brings me inside to the living room.

I didn't see much of it the over night but wow it is so perfectly put together. There's a theme of white, blacks and grey all over! A pure white leather sofa facing a huge flat tv, hung above a cute fireplace. It was so beautiful; something you'd expect your dream house to look like!

"How are you Chloe? I'm so sorry about the other night and Flynn and your brother! Do you want a drink or anything to eat?" She said, with her arms wrapped tightly around me sitting me on the sofa.

"Oh, I'm fine mrs Jenkins, thank you! Is Leo in his room?" I ask, slightly confused.

"Oh he's just popped out for the moment as we was expecting you a bit later..but I'll give him a call, let him know you're here and he should be back soon!"

Not going to lie it was a bit awkward... just sitting here pretending I liked game of thrones, which I could not get my head around what was happening. I'd sent Leo 10 messages now and still no reply.
I started to feel an urge in my stomach that I was hoping would not invite itself while I was sitting here alone. I need to find the bathroom...BADLY!

How was I going to find it In this ginormous house?

I made my way out into the main hall at the front and tried looking around for some noise so I could find Leo's mom. I went up the glistening stairway as I presumed there would obviously be a toilet up here! Just wow was there around 30 rooms! I went along slowly tapping each room door to see if I could find one that would open but I had no luck.

"Are you looking for something?"

As I turn I realise I recognise that voice clearly and it's not one I wanted to be hearing..
His face had cuts stitched up and bruises.
I guess Caleb can punch hard then because I'd hate to be on the end of his fist when he's angry..
It was Flynn :/

"Oh um where is your bathroom? I ask, trying not to make too much eye contact.

"Don't worry I don't bite. Down the hall to the left. If you get lost, give me a shout and I'll come help you" Flynn smirked, ending with a wink.
Typical.

I ignored his humour and followed his orders, down the hall to the left. The door was shut. I opened it to not find a toilet but to find a boys room, not a bedroom but like a den sort of room...as I feel a slight push from behind me and I'm faced with Flynn standing in front of the door?

"This isn't funny Flynn. LET ME OUT!" I shout, hoping Miss Jenkins would hear me. Obviously not in this house.

"No chlo, shush we need to talk." He whispers pointing towards a red bean bag on the floor.
I follow his orders as I know the quicker I listen the quicker I'll get to leave.

He stood in silence for a while pacing the room.

"So...what did you want?" I ask nervously.
"Well um I felt as if you should know why Leo isn't here..." Flynn said sitting next to me.
"He's running late isn't he?" I asked in confusion, shuffling further away from him.
"Well... no, honestly he's with someone"
"What do you mean? Who is he with?" Standing yp now with my arms crossed, staring in shock at him.
"He's with India" Flynn now gets up too, turning away.

I couldn't believe it. I've been here over an hour and he hasn't even thought to message me because he's with my best friend!
Is he serious?
I walk out of the door, without turn to see if Flynn was following me. As soon as I get outside all my emotions bottle up and tears pour out! I put my hands over my face in utter embarrassment. When suddenly, two arms come around me pulling me towards them. I sense a strong smell of men's aftershave and hair gel. I pull them in even harder, needing someone to hold me.

"I felt as if you should know.."

I look up to see Flynn looking deeply into my eyes. If Leo thought it was okay to play me around and go for my best friend maybe he wouldn't care if I did this...

I pull his soft gentle skin into mine, feeling his warm lips lock with mine. His hands in my hair, he tugs at it slightly. I didn't mean for it to go on for so long but it does. Neither of us pulling away.
I hear footsteps walking towards us as we both look up in sync.

"Chloe, what are you doing?"
