Torn

Date Night

Courtney looks around and sees Duncan waving at her from a booth. She heads in his direction, trying hard not to smile.

"Hey gorgeous," Duncan says as Courtney sits down in front of him.

"Hi Duncan," Courtney says flatly.

"Wow, you sound so excited to see me."

She rolls her eyes. "Why are we doing this? I mean, this is ridiculous-"

Before she can continue, a waiter pops up behind her.

"Hi guys, welcome. I'm Daniel and I'll be serving you tonight. Can I get you started off with a drink?"

Duncan speaks first. "I'll have a Sprite and she'll be having a Diet Coke."

Daniel smiles. "Alright, thank you guys. I'll be right back."

Courtney turns to Duncan, a smile tugging at the edge of her lips. "You remembered my favorite drink?"

He laughs. "I remember everything about you, princess. Except..."

"Except?"

"I've forgotten the way you taste."

She laughs. "Real smooth, Duncan."

"Mhm." He leans his face into the palm of his hand. "So how are you doing?"

"I'm fine. Work is a bit boring, but that could change soon. I'm actually eligible for a promotion I've been wanting to get."

"That's great."

"How about you?"

"Well, I'm gonna be honest, being anywhere but prison is fantastic."

Courtney chuckles. "I'm sure it is."

"Anyway, some guys and I are thinking about opening a tattoo shop. Would you ever get one?"

"No way. Those things stay on you forever, you know."

He glances outside the window. "Yeah, yeah, I know." His eyes widen, he grabs Courtney's wrist, and he pulls her out of the booth.

"Duncan!" Courtney protests.

"C'mon, we're getting out of here."

As Duncan and Courtney reach the front exit, they're faced with two familiar faces: Scott and Gwen. Gwen stands to Scott's left side and has her arm linked with his.

"Oh. Hey Courtney...and Duncan," Scott says, with no emotion on his face.

Gwen smiles nervously. "Hi guys..."

Duncan rolls his eyes. "We were just  leaving-" Duncan pushes past them, knocking into Scott's shoulder, eliciting a grunt from him.

"I can't believe this!" Courtney yells as soon as they're outside of the diner. "Scott and Gwen?! I mean, when did that happen?"

She covers her face with her hands. "Am I really that easy to get over?"

Duncan laughs. "Not really. Scott's just a douche. You should forget about him, babe."

"Don't 'babe' me. Did you know about this?"

He hesitates. "Well-"

"Ugh! Are you serious? Why is everyone going behind my back and doing things?!"

He sighs. "Look, Courtney, I didn't think anything was happening between them. I tried to get you out of the diner before you could see them and well...that didn't work out." He reaches out to hold her hand. "C'mon, let's go."

Courtney sighs as she sits down in Duncan's passenger seat. "I miss him, Duncan. I miss him so much and I don't know what to do without him. What am I supposed to do? I mean, I can't just keep saying sorry. It doesn't change the fact that I-"

Before she can say anything else, Duncan cups her face with one of his hands and leans in to kiss her. Courtney kisses back before putting her hands on his chest and pushing him back.

"Duncan...we shouldn't-"

He laughs into the crook of her neck. "That's never stopped us before, has it?"

Courtney hesitates before pulling him in and kissing him.

A few minutes later, Courtney is straddling Duncan as they're passionately making out.

Duncan pulls the straps of Courtney's dress down, undoes her bra, and begins sucking on her breast. Courtney moans. He bites her nipple lightly and rubs her other breast with his hand.

Duncan reaches beneath her dress to start pulling down her underwear.

"You sure about this, princess?"

"I'm sure."

Duncan pulls out a condom from his pocket and smirks. He unbuttons his pants and undoes his zipper before pulling his boxers down and putting on the condom. "Well alright."

He pushes his boner against her underwear and moans.

Duncan pulls down her underwear and enters her slowly. He begins thrusting into her.

"D-Duncan..." Courtney moans. She moves her hips as he continues thrusting.

"Faster, Duncan," Courtney begs. He begins thrusting faster and harder, while sucking on her breast and grabbing her ass.

"Ohhh," she groans, grinding herself against him.

"Fuck, Courtney," he moans as he comes inside her. He breathes heavily before smacking her ass and smirking.

"Uh, hello?" Courtney says, obviously annoyed.

He looks her up and down with confusion. "What?"

"I haven't orgasmed."

He motions to the back of the car with his thumb. "Wanna go there so I can eat you out?"

She nods and smiles before kissing him.

About an hour later, Courtney enters her apartment, shocked because of what she just did and who she just did it with.

That felt amazing.

They could have sex and it doesn't mean anything, right? There's no way she'd let some fun stop her from getting back at him. I mean, c'mon, the guy obviously deserves it. He ruined her relationship by acting like some kind of horn dog.

Then again, it was a mutual act. Elise had drilled that into her head far too frequently for her to forget.

Maybe Duncan didn't deserve to be led on. Maybe she could just be in a relationship with him instead of getting Scott back.

Wait, wait, wait. What?

What is she thinking?! She has to get back together with Scott. They were together for so long, and everything was going great...

But things aren't like that anymore. This was hard for her to admit. He clearly didn't miss her the way she missed him. If he did, he would reach out. He would try talking to her instead of going on dates with other girls. Then again, she's also going on dates and not communicating with him, either.

Ugh. Why the hell is this so confusing?!

Courtney grunts as she sits down on her couch. She unlocks her PDA to see one text from Scott:
Hey, can we talk?
-♡-
Me: This is a slow-burn.
Also me: Here's some sex.
I hope my attempt at smut wasn't too bad. 😅
