Mending A Broken Heart

Chapter Seventeen

Emily's Pov

"I'll get that," I said softly as I quickly untangled myself from the blankets and got off of the couch before making my way over to the front door.

I slowly put the key in the keyhole before unlocking the door and opening it, only to reveal Zander.

"Hey babe," he said with a grin on his face as he took my look in his hand before pressing his lips to mine.

I would honestly be lying if I said that I was happy to see him, but truth be told, I wish he weren't here right now. I have been enjoying my day so much with Luke and now that Zander's here...

"Hey," I said softly as I pulled back from the kiss to see his face. "What are you doing here?" I asked as I plastered a fake smile onto my face.

"I came to see my girlfriend," he stated like it was obvious before looking at me expectantly. "Well, aren't you going to let me in?" He asked, amused.

"Oh, yeah," I stuttered before stepping to the side to let him in. "Are you going to be staying here for long?"

"You know, if I didn't know any better, I would have thought that you didn't want me here," he said, and I just forced out a chuckle.

"No, it's not that. Of course, I want you here," I lied.

"Well, then what should we do today?" He asked as he grabbed my hand before pulling me over to the entrance that leads to the living room.

"Well, I kinda have someone over," I said as I stared down at my rainbow-colored socks.

"Really?" He asked as he took my chin between his index finger and thumb, tilting it upwards so that I was now looking at him. "Who?" He asked, curiously.

"Oh....uhm.....Luke?" I said but more in a question as I watched his smile falter from his face.

"Oh, did I interrupt something?" He asked as he dropped his hand to his side.

"No, no. We were watching a movie," I said quickly.

"May I join?" He asked, and I had to bite my lip to keep myself from saying no. I slowly nodded my head, causing his smile to reappear on his face. "Well, then," he said softly before pulling me into the living room.

"Em, who was at the do-" Luke started, but when he saw Zander standing next to me, he stopped. "Oh, hey Zander," he said in a monotone voice as he looked down at my hand that was held tightly in Zanders.

"Luke," Zander said as he looked at Luke before looking at me, bringing his lips towards mine.

I could feel Luke's intense gaze on us, causing me to pull away from the kiss.

"I'm gonna go grab a drink, then I'll be right back," Zander said before letting go of my hand and walking over to the kitchen.

I sighed as I took my seat on the couch, which so happens to be just a few centimeters away from Luke.

"I'm sorry about that. I didn't know he was going to come over," I said as I gave Luke an apologetic smile.

"No problem. The two of you are dating. It's obvious that you guys are going to spend time at each other's houses," he said, almost like it pained him to say it.

"Luke-"

"Well, then. Let's get the movie playing," Zander said over-enthusiastically as I squeezed himself between Luke and me.

Why is he suddenly acting like this? Just yesterday, he was acting like I didn't even exist when he talked to that waitress.

"Zander, stop. I'm trying to watch the movie," I groaned as he kept pecking my lips.

The entire time we were watching The Heat, Zander kept fiddling next to me and planting kisses on my face.

"Zander, stop," I said, annoyed as he kissed my neck. "Zander," I said softly as he started sucking on my sweet spot.

"I think I should go," I heard Luke's voice say before he got up from the couch.

"Yeah, that would probably be for the best," Zander said just when I was about to open my mouth.

I looked at Luke as he grabbed his things before walking out of my house. I sighed as Zander kept leaving wet kisses on my neck, gently pushing me down on the couch and stood between my legs.

My eyes closed, and my breathing became uneven as his hands traveled beneath my white tank top, rubbing up and down my sides.

"Z-Zander," I said softly as a soft moan escaped my lips. I could practically hear my heartbeat as he slowly pulled my shirt over my head, disconnecting his lips from my neck and bringing them up to my lips. A loud gasp escaped my lips when Zander pushed himself into me, causing me to realize what was happening. "Zander stop," I said as I started pushing his chest, but that didn't seem to mean anything because instead, he began to roughly suck at my neck as he kept pushing himself into me. "Zander, stop," I whimpered out as his hands move toward my sweatpants, where he started pulling them down. "Zander," I said louder, causing him to stop his movements and stared down at me with an annoyed look on his face. "I can't do this," I said as I motioned to what was happening, not even a minute ago.

"Why didn't you just say so?" He asked as he got off of me, handing me my shirt that was lying on the ground. "I wouldn't have taken it so far if you just told me you didn't want to," he said as he pulled a loose strand of hair behind my ear, a smile forming on my face.

"I just got a little caught up in the moment," I sighed, causing him to chuckle and pull me into his side.

A groan escaped my lips when the doorbell suddenly went off. I slowly got off of the couch and slipped my shirt on before making my way towards the door, opening it to reveal a very enthusiastic Valerie.

"Who's ready to go clubbing?"
