"It's not anyone's fault Henry but you're my closest buddy in the world and I want it to stay that way ok?" I said smiling now. I could do this, I could get beyond this and we would be OK.
"Ok, listen Samantha I gotta go" he replied quietly.
"Ok bye" I answered cheerfully. That's done, we can still be friends, I don't care how hard this is I need to have him with me I'll do anything it takes, even if it rips out my heart.
I hung up and laid back on my bed looking at my ceiling, my phone rang and I picked it without checking at the caller id expecting it to be Susan, she typically rang the morning after a party to tell me all about any hook ups from the night before. "Hey Rach" I answered with a tiny smile, maybe some chatting will break me out of the gloom I could feel myself sliding into.
"Err no Jailbait is me" Blake responded awkwardly, I sat up immediately, shit what the hell am I gonna say? After what happened last night with Henry I gasped and wiggled uncomfortably.
"Oh hi Blake" I said with wide eyes.
"Did you get my messages?" he inquired quietly.
"Err yeah I just got them a couple of minutes ago" I responded uncomfortably.
"Ok then do you think I could come over and we could talk?" he asked a little hopefully. I looked at the clock it was just after 12.
"Um sure great, my Mom and stepdad are leaving at two why don't you come over after that?" I said biting my lip hoping he would say no. I just didn't want this, I wanted Henry.
My Mom and James were travelling to a friends wedding today afternoon and were making a weekend of it staying in a hotel till Monday so I had all weekend on my own. My parents had asked Henry to come and stay with me so I wasn't in the house on my own which was going to be awkward as hell tonight, I sighed at the prospect. "Yeah ok, I'll come over about half two then" he responded excited, "See ya Jailbait" he said.
"Mmm bye" I murmured closing my eyes again. I forced myself up off of the bed and walked downstairs to spend some time with my folks before they departed and tried my best to forget everything that occurred last night.
At exactly two thirty the doorbell rang, I answered it to see Blake standing there with a wide grin and a basket of flowers, I smiled, he's so kind. "Hey jailbait" he said going in a bit hesitantly handing me the flowers, "Hey, thanks you shouldn't have" I replied smelling them and moving to the kitchen to place them in a vase.
"I wanted to, I needed to apologise for being an ass" he continued putting his hand on the small of my back softly.
"Well your forgiven" I answered with a smile, he went closer then and kissed me passionately. I didn't kiss him back at first I was too stunned, Henrys face flashed in my thoughts but I pushed it away and kissed him back.
The kiss felt wonderful but incorrect, this wasn't how I was meant to be kissed a small part of me was whispering. I extended my hand up and tangled my hands in his hair, he put his hands on my h*ps and raised me onto the kitchen counter pushing forwards so his body was between my legs. He moaned as I sucked on his lip ring, he ran his hands slowly up my thighs until he came to the top of my legs then moved them to the small of my back pushing me closer to him. He interrupted the kiss just to plant small lips down my neck, he stopped suddenly and pulled back.
"What the f**k is that?" he muttered frowning gazing at my neck, oh crap the love bite!
"That's nothing, just a joke Henry did that for a laugh, it's kinda his thing he's done it since we were kids" I answered uncomfortable shuffling about on the counter.
"He gave you a love bite for a joke?" he questioned shaking his head in disbelief and throwing his palms down on the counter each side of me violently making me jump. Holy crap he's got a short fuse!
"Blake, it was a joke last night at the party that's all, nothing was intended by it, we are just friends" I stated the last bit gently accentuating each syllable.
He chewed his lip looking torn, I could see the jealousy and fury evident on his face but he was trying hard not to let it out. "Listen, Henry and I have a really good connection, I've known him since I was four years old, you have nothing to be envious of, if you want to try to make this work then you're gonna need to get used to it, Henry is always gonna be there" I replied forcefully. Half of me was praying that he would just turn and walk out.
I didn't like doing this, it seemed bad, made me feel cheap and used to be with someone when I wasn't into it. But another part of me wanted him to tell me that it's ok, to make me forget Henry, to make me want to be with him and stop me hurting and wanting my best friend when he didn't want me. I had a feeling that if I tried hard enough I might easily fall for this guy, he was lovely, hot, witty and easy to be with. I bit my lip and waited for him to speak.
