Betrayal for the Better- Chapter One
Mary-Lynnette awoke the next morning with a major headache.
She sat up slowly, feeling very disoriented. Her fuzzy vision cleared and she realized many things at once.
The first thing she noticed was she had no clue where she was. The room looked like some sort of motel room, with a door leading to a bathroom, and another one going to what she assumed was a hallway. The second thing she realized was she was completely naked. One of the white sheets was pulled up under her arms, covering her chest, but other then that, she wasn't wearing anything. And the third thing was by far the worst. There was someone lying next to her.
Mary-Lynnette squeezed her eyes shut and laid her head back on the pillow before looking at the person next to her.
Please be Jeremy, please be Jeremy, please be Jeremy, Mary-Lynnette chanted silently. She turned her head and nearly screamed.
Ash Redfern, the town player, was peeking at her with bright blue through his impossibly dark lashes.
His perfect mouth quirked into a smirk, "Don't look so horrified. This happens to the best of you." He winked at her.
Unable to speak, Mary-Lynnette lifted her left hand and showed him her gold engagement ring.
Ash looked at the ring and said. "Hmm. He's a lucky guy. But you aren't as lucky."
Mary-Lynnette felt her eyes narrow.
"Haven't you heard? Silver is the new gold." Ash said, putting his hands behind his head.
Mary-Lynnette's anger broke through her shock. "I happen to like this ring and I don't care if it's not 'in style'!" She snapped.
Ash just raised his eyebrows, not even phased by her anger. "Well I'm just saying if he really cared about you, then-"
"For your information," Mary-Lynnette interrupted, "Jeremy happens to love me very much!"
"Lovett?" Ash asked, his green eyes narrowed.
Wait- green? I thought his eyes were blue? Mary-Lynnette thought stupidly. Oh, it doesn't matter what color his eyes are! Just focus on the problem right now.
"Yes, Jeremy Lovett! How many other Lovett's are there?" Mary-Lynnette replied.
"You certainly are a feisty one." Ash changed the subject, winking at Mary-Lynnette.
Mary-Lynnette felt her rage boil up again. "What does it matter? I'm not your play thing!"
Ash's answer shocked her. "Of course you're not." He seemed to be telling the truth.
Mary-Lynnette narrowed her eyes at him, trying to find some sign he didn't believe what he was saying.
"You bumped into me." Ash said, pointing from her to himself.
"So?" Mary-Lynnette screamed. Something about Ash really pushed her buttons. "I was drunk!"
"At least you don't remember any of it." Ash stayed un-phased, which made her even angrier.
"What did I do to piss you off so much?" Ash asked innocently, if you could call him that.
"What did you do? What did you do?" Mary-Lynnette was screaming again. "You took advantage of me!"
"You bumped into me." Ash repeated.
"Oh, yeah, like that justifies everything!" Mary-Lynnette said sarcastically.
Ash didn't reply he just smirked at her.
"Wipe that grin off your face." Mary-Lynnette demanded.
"I'm not grinning." That stupid smirk grew on his pale face.
Then Mary-Lynnette did something that really surprised herself; she kissed Ash.
She could feel the smirk on his lips so she pressed her lips harder and knotted her fingers in his silky blonde hair and he finally responded to her.
And the thing that surprised her even further was that she liked it. His kisses were fierce and completely overpowered any sense of reason. They made her entire body feel on fire and the only thing she could think about was Ash.
It was certainly a change from the usual kisses she received. Not that she didn't love Jeremy, she did, but he was always so gentle with her. Jeremy's kisses never made her head spin and only made her loose her train of thought on rare occasions. But even then, it was nothing like this.
Ash's hands roamed her back and pressed himself closer to her. His lips left hers and left a trail of fire on her neck, shoulders and collarbone.
A moan escaped Mary-Lynnette's lips and Ash's tongue traced her bottom lip before darting between her parted lips.
"No," Mary-Lynnette whispered suddenly, moving her hands from his hair to his chest and pushing slightly. "We can't do this."
She was about to fully break away but Ash held her tightly.
"Ash." She said softly. "Let go."
But he didn't. Just go with it, he's not going to let go soon, a voice in Mary-Lynnette's head said.
"Do you really want me to let go?" Ash asked, pulling back to look at Mary-Lynnette intently with captivating gold eyes.
"No." Mary-Lynnette murmured and Ash's lips were back on hers.
Then there was a relapse of last night's… excitement? No- actions? But this time Mary-Lynnette remembered it all.
Ash rolled off Mary-Lynnette and she said while trying to get her breath back, "That was- the most intense thing- I've ever felt- in my life."
"Glad you have fun." Ash said with another wink.
What is it with this guy and winks and smirks? Mary-Lynnette thought randomly.
"What time is it?" Mary-Lynnette sat up suddenly, remembering her friends.
"Time for you to go, I suppose." Ash said with a glance at the clock on the side table.
"Hey, where are we anyway?" Mary-Lynnette asked, pulling on her jeans that had been in a convenient pile on the floor.
"The rooms above the bar." Ash answered, getting dressed as well.
"Oh. I didn't know there were rooms up here."
"Yeah, the stairs are right next to the tattoo parlor connected to the bar."
"That's a stupid idea." Mary-Lynnette muttered, going through her purse to make sure everything was there.
"What is?" Ash asked, yanking his shirt over his blonde head.
"To put a tattoo parlor right next to a bar. And to be connected to the bar." Mary-Lynnette shook her head.
"Oh." Ash said, and then sniggered.
"What?" Mary-Lynnette asked.
"How adverse are you to tattoos?" Ash cocked his head to the side, not bothering to hide a smile.
Mary-Lynnette felt her eyes widen. "Where is it?"
"The small of your back." Ash answered, still laughing.
Mary-Lynnette pulled her shirt up and looked around her shoulder at the planet Saturn on her back about the size of her fist.
The general design of it was beautiful; the planet itself had a design similar to Jupiter's, with smoother lines and a spot that looked a lot like the red one on Jupiter. The rings cut across the planet in a perfect arc and Mary-Lynnette sighed.
"At least it's not a bull or something crazy like that." She said. What's wrong with me? Just twenty-four hours ago I would have been freaking out I got a tattoo and now I'm okay with it? Mary-Lynnette thought.
Ash, her mind answered before she had time to ponder the question. Of course this was his entire fault. He had a reputation for turning good girls bad. And she was one of those girls. Shit.
"Can we pretend like airplanes in the night sky like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now" Mary-Lynnette's phone sang. She pulled it out of her purse and looked at her caller ID. A wave of guilt crashed over her; it was Jeremy. How could she have forgotten about him?
"I have to go." Mary-Lynnette said and turned for the door, flipping the phone open. "Hey." She hoped Jeremy couldn't hear the guilt in her tone.
"Hey, Mare, where are you?" Jeremy sounded worried, only adding to her guilt. He cared about her so much and this was how she repaid him?
"I managed to make my way upstairs. I'll be down soon." She promised.
"Okay."
"Okay. I love you." Mary-Lynnette said, her eyes darting to Ash before she could stop them.
"Love you too. Bye." Jeremy said.
"Bye." Mary-Lynnette closed her phone and turned to Ash, her hand on the door handle behind her.
"I guess I'll see you around." She said it like a question.
"If you're lucky." Ash winked and closed the distance between them and kissed her again.
"'Lucky?'" Mary-Lynnette teased.
Ash laughed and reached behind her and turned the knob. "Bye, Mary-Lynnette."
"Bye, Ash." Mary-Lynnette said and backed out of the room, closing the door behind her. It was only when the door was shut she realized she didn't want to leave.
Oh, well. It was a one-night stand. It won't happen again. Mary-Lynnette told herself as she walked down the stairs.
When she reached the bottom, Jeremy was there in an instance, taking her in a gentle embrace and Mary-Lynnette couldn't help but think about Ash's fearlessness to hold her tight.
Hey FanFiction!
Finally! The first chapter is out! Woo! =D
I do not own the song Airplanes by B.o.B feat. Hayley Williams, no matter how much I love that song!
And yes, I do understand that this is a little… strange for a 13 year old to be writing such a fiction, but the inspiration I got for it is a story line from General Hospital… A story line with Elizabeth and Lucky… That's funny for those of you who have read Circle Daybreak Preschool, right? Because I think it's hilarious! XD
Anyway, please review! :D
Thanks for reading!
