It'll Never Happen-

Shannon's POV

We've been like this for I don't know how long, not doing much. Just exploring each others bodies, barely speaking. Only letting out the occasional moan or gasp for air. I didn't want to let her go, she fit so perfectly in my arms, and as corny as it sounds, it was as if she was made to fit in them.

I look up at Daniel as she's sprawled across my white sheets while I begin to trail butterfly kisses up and down her naked body. Her smooth dark skin standing out amongst the covers and her dark orbs look as if they're glazed over. She gently touches my face as I move up her body and she captures my lips with hers once again. I move Daniel onto my lap and grab onto her tighter, she softly moans against my lips and the vibration from it sends chills down my back. I move her hair away from her neck and move my lips from her mouth and unto her neck. The grip she already had on me tightens as I nibble on her neck, she begins to grind against my body, causing my growing erection to get harder.

"Uhh. Shan." Daniel softly says.

"Yeah." I mumble out from the crook of her neck.

"You're phones vibrating."

"Don't worry, it'll go off soon." I say moving her from my lap and back onto the bed.

I spread her legs and lower myself in between them slowly beginning to enter her.

"MMMMM." Daniel moans, failing to stifle her moan.

I grab on to her leg and begin to thrust in to her.

"DAMMIT!" I scream out hearing my phone vibrate again. I remove myself from Daniel and reach over the nightstand to answer the call.

"What!"

"Well that's not a nice way to answer the phone Shan." It was my ex Crystal. Even after the divorce we were still close, but at the moment I was wishing we weren't.

"What do you want Crys?"

"Just wanted to ask if you we're still coming over tomorrow?"

"Cut the bull shit. What do you know?"

"Whose the tramp you were all over tonight?"

"Who told you?" Thinking for a moment I quickly realize the answer. "Beth."

I glance at Daniel while Crystal continues to speak and see her get out of the bed and search the room for her clothes.

"I'm going to talk to you later Crys. Bye. What are you doing Dani?" I say walking over to her wrapping my arms around her waist.

She steps out of my grasp and continues her search.

"Are you at least going to say something? What did I do wrong?"

"Nothing Shan."

"Okay. Then why are you getting ready to leave right now?"

"I can't do this." She mumbles.

"What? Why?"

"I just can't."

"Delilah. If we're going to fast let me know. We can go as slow as you want." I say turning her around so that she's facing me and bringing her face towards mine. I lean in to kiss her but before our lips can touch she turns aways and walks towards the door.

"Just trust me Shannon. Act like this never happened." Is all she says as she lightly closes the door and heads downstairs.

End of Shannon's POV

I do not like Shannon Moore. I don't! I can't!

It'll never work out.

That's what I kept repeating to myself as I headed downstairs and into the bathroom where I had left the clothes I came in. I have no idea what I was thinking, I shouldn't have let it got that far.

God. I'm such a fucking tease!

I stare at my reflection in the mirror as I pull my jeans and tank top back on. I do my best to fix my disheveled hair and there's not much I can do hide the many hickeys Shannon left on my neck. Realizing that there's not much I can do until the morning, I head back into the living room to check on Braydin. He's fast asleep not having a care in the world. These are the times when I wish I was a kid again. When life wasn't so fucking complicated. Maybe if it was a different time and place, Shannon and I would work out. But for now it's better if that door remains close, and I do my best to never open it again.

I glance at the couch and see that Shannon left me a plain white T-Shirt for me to wear. This made feel like an even bigger bitch because even after I left him with a hard-on and no explanation, he was still being nice to me.

Well at least until now.

--

I successfully managed to get out of Shannon's house without him waking up. Braydin woke up around eight and I needed to get home so that he can go to Sunday school with Ms.Maye. I wasn't so lucky, instead of confessing my sins to the lord, I'll be on Temptation Island a.k.a Gas Chamber Ink. What's even worse is that I'll have face Shannon.

"Hey darling!" Auntie Karen says from the kitchen as I walk downstairs and begin to head to work.

"Hey."

"Thanks again for last night. Braydin had a blast."

"No problem."

Auntie Kay is quiet for a moment, she just stares at my chest. I look down and realize what she's looking out. "Is that what I think it is?"

"Shit! I thought I had hid all of them." I say looking at my cleavage from the low cut white t-shirt I was wearing.

"So I'm guessing you had some fun last night too."

"It's not like that."

"It's okay Daniel. It's a good thing. You need to loosen up a little."

"Nothing happened. Well not exactly. It's complicated."

"You want to talk about it."

"There's nothing to talk about because him and I will never work out."

"I'm not going to invade into your personal life. But all I'm going to say is that from where I'm standing I can sense a little hesitation in your voice. Now are you sure it's not going to work out? Or is that some excuse you're telling yourself?"

"Trust me. It'll never happen. I'll see you tonight. Bye"

--

With my luck, I arrive at the shop and of course, Shannon is there. He's leaning over the counter talking to Chad.

"Hey California." Chad says.

I wince for two reasons, one, hate the new nickname everyone gave me last night and two, I see the expression on Shannon's face quickly change when I arrive at the shop.

"Hey." I say sitting behind the counter. I give Shannon a smile, which he doesn't return and instead leaves the counter and moves to the back of the shop.

"What was that all about?" Chad asks.

I follow Shannon into the room in the back of the shop and see him getting some of the ink ready for a tattoo he was doing later on today. I walk up to him and help him pour the ink he had set out into the small containers.

"So how long are you going to be mad at me?"

No response.

"Shannon. Talk to me. I'm sorry about last night. I don't know what got into me I really shouldn't have let it go that far and I know you're mad but I wouldn't have done it if I knew this wasn't going to work out."

"How do you know that it's not going to work out?"

"I jus-"

But before I can even finish my sentence Shannon's lips crash against mine. I try to pull away but the grip he had on my neck and waist tightens. I give up trying to fight and I kiss him back. He grabs by my ass and puts me on the counter, as I slide my hands up to his shoulder. Before breaking the kiss he sucks on my bottom lip and slowly inches his lips away from mine. Breathing hard and Shannon occasionally pecking my lips, I open my eyes and mine meet with Shannon's. His face still close to mine.

"Tell me that didn't mean a fucking thing to you and I will act like last night never happened." I was reluctant to answer at first. "It's a simple fucking question! Yes or no Daniel."

That stung, he hasn't called me by first name since we first meet and to hear it out of his mouth with such venom made my heartache.

"It didn't mean anything." I quietly respond.

"What was that?" Shannon asks.

"I didn't feel a fucking thing!" I say.

"You're a damn lie!" Shannon says. He grabs the ink and storms out of the back room, not giving me a single glance back.
