Temptations (Book One)

Chapter 6

The next morning, the sun had shined in my eyes through my window. I groaned in annoyance and rolled out of my bed, ending up on the floor a few moments later with a thud. I rubbed my head and looked up at my alarm clock. It was passed nine o' clock. Typical for me to sleep in on a Saturday. I yawned and got up from my sleepiness.

No one else was up except Devin. I could hear him walking around for a bit. I couldn't hide in my room forever. I had to face him sooner or later. I need to figure this out... Is he really cheating on me? So many questions coursed through my head as my imagination thought of the many outcomes to this problem. Suddenly, a knock came at the door.

"Jen, are you in there? Can we talk for a few minutes?"

I sighed, knowing it was Devin already before I even had the time to comprehend what he was trying to get at. Not being able to hide anymore, I opened up the door with a scowl on my face.

"What is it?" I asked calmly before sitting on my bed, slightly feeling the laptop next to me. He sat next to me and hugged me tightly.

"Jenny, please forgive me. I'm so sorry. I should of told you first but I didn't know how!"

He pleaded with tears in his eyes. His grip got even tighter and tighter around my back. He was practically suffocating me.

"What are you getting at, Devin?"

I coughed, pulling away from his bear hug. I checked myself to make sure he didn't leave a bruise on me or made me sore. I heard him sniffle and saw tears streaming down his face.

"I just went to hang out with Dakota. That's all, Jenny. I know how you get sometimes when I hang out with other girls but--"

"Devin, are you calling me insecure?!" I interrupted in a growl. I was never insecure. Only suspicious and cautious. I would do anything for him.

"No no no babe! Not at all!" He said, hugging me. "I just... I know how you get jealous sometimes."

"Sometimes it's jealousy, sometimes cautiously. I don't want to lose you, Devin!"

"Well maybe if you weren't so jealous, we could be fine but look at us now!" He yelled, hatred glowing in his eyes. It made me lean back slightly in fear. I hated it when he got mad. Sometimes I deserved it.

"Well if you didn't flirt with every girl you see, we'd be okay!" I snapped back.

Devin had shot up from his spot and walked over to the door. "Come get me when you want to talk again. We'll work it out somehow..." He snarled, slamming my door.

Tears had streamed down my face before opening my laptop and turning it on. I wiped off my cheeks, the wet hot droplets continued to pour from my eyes. Right when it started up, I got immediately onto Facebook and started to message Blake frantically.

I didn't want to turn my problem into him but I really needed to talk to someone. Meredith would just tell me to screw him. I needed to talk to someone else for a while.

Blake do you have a phone? I really need to talk to you, I'd rather not talk about it on here... 😔

I sat back and waited for a reply. I still wipes my cheeks and tries to force a smile. I'm not fine...

I wish I could tell myself I was. But I'm on the verge of collapse. I needed him. But why him? Why Blake? Suddenly, the message came back.

Sure... Here call me: 7682065

I sighed with relief and pulled out my phone. I tried not to seem desperate so I waited a few moments and dialed the number. Oh, I was so nervous.

What the hell was I going to say? And more importantly, how would he react?
