Fly Away To Chicago (Completed)

Chapter Eighteen- Bad Day

My heart felt like it was going to leap out of my chest as Bennett and I reached the bathroom. I tugged him inside and snuck around his still shocked body to lock the door.

Finally he seamed to snap out of it and he held a hand up to stop me from removing his shirt.

Why?

"Hayden, we can't. You know I was just joking. I can't do this with you. What about Grace & Mason? Oh god your brother. He'll kill me. Bye bye life. I can't do this with you." He says lowly & the pulls my shirt back down to its original spot since I'd started to take it off.

I pout my lip and step closer to him.

"I won't tell anyone. Please Bennett. We both want this." I whisper to him & seductively nibble his ear for a moment.

I hear his sharp intake of breathe & I know I've got him.

He clears his throat and steps back, but he hits the door. Trying to avoid my gaze his gaze flicks around the room, to anything, but me.

Risking it I kneel down before him & I look up at him expectantly.

He gulps hard and tries to move away, but I stop him by standing back up. I move in close so I'm centimeters from touching him, but I don't.

"You shouldn't say things that you don't mean, Bennett. How am I supposed to forget about this? I want you now. Isn't your birthday in a few days? This could be your early present. After all I didn't pay you back for helping me buy Mark's present. This could be for both of us. Come on. You know you want to." I say teasingly & I bite my lip.

Please say yes. I need this badly.

He shakes his head & looks at me pained.

"As much as I want to fucks you brains out right now, I can't until Grace and I are done & you & Mason are done. That kiss was a momentary slip up. I'm not the guy that steals someone's girl, especially not my best friend." He chokes out between shaky breathes that I can only assume come from how I've affected him.

He clears his throat & starts again, more powerfully this time, less weak.

"By the way Mas really likes you even though the whole thing is fake anyway. You're a very like able person. The only one of my friends who hasn't really talked about you is Lyle. I just can't do this now. I want you when you're mine, not when you're someone else's." He says & his eyes bear such an intensity that I can't break the gaze. They hypnotize me & it's as if there is nothing else in the world except us.

But that isn't true. I know that when Jackson yells from downstairs.

"Tyler & Zack just pulled in! You guys better split!!"

Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck!!

I scramble past Bennett & leap into my bed, twisting the covers around me to look like I'm still sleeping.

I hear pounding up the steps followed by a knock at the door. "Hayden? Are you up?" Zack asks softly.

I roll in bed & groan, like I normally would. "Go away. To early. Must sleep." I grumble in the usual two word sentences I have when I haven't fully awaken.

I hear a deep, throaty, chuckle from the hallway, then footsteps retreating. I grin from ear to ear.

It worked!!

I wait a few more minutes before I ruffle my hair & I fake stumble downstairs, eyes half closed.

Zack spots me once I reach the bottom of the steps. He grins at my expression.
