I woke up to the smell of coffee. I sat up in bed and noticed that none of the guys were there. But there was a cup of coffee and a muffin sitting on my desk. I smiled and knew Reid had to have been the one to bring it. I got out of bed and went to take a sip, it was still hot. Apparently he had just been to bring it. I must have been out not to of herd him come in. I decided to get dressed before the guys came back. I took off my clothes. Of course it was in than that I realized I hadn't washed my face yet. I didn't want to get water on my shirt so I took it back off. I was wearing a pair of jeans and my bra.
Now if I had really thought about it I would of found it funny that none of the guys were in my room. They never left me alone. I walked over to my bathroom and opened the door. Unfortunately, I opened it on a naked Pogue. His back was to me and he was in the process of putting on his boxers. I couldn't' help but stare. Pogue has a nice body. I was frozen though, I couldn't move and my mouth was standing open in shock.
"What's wrong Sam?" I turned to see Reid standing in my bedroom. My hand was still on the handle to the bathroom door. I turned to look back at Pogue who was now looking at me with question in his eyes as he was buttoning up his pants. Of course Reid was now curious enough to see what was going on. Reid poked his head in the bathroom. "Jeez Sam when I told you to have fun last night I didn't think you would take me so literally."
I turned beet red, I had no idea what to do. Thankfully Pogue saved me. He playfully slapped Reid on the face. "What's wrong? Were you hoping to be the first?"
Reid looked pissed and he glared at Pogue than walked away. I looked at Pogue wanting to give an explanation. He leaned over and whispered in my ear, "If you wanted to see all you had to do was ask." When he saw my reaction he smiled. "I was kidding. But you might want to put a shirt on." Than he kissed me on the cheek than closed the bathroom door. I herd the lock click into place. I guess Pogue didn't want any more visitors.
I walked to my bed only to notice my shirt wasn't there. "Looking for this?" I looked at Reid and he had my shirt in his hands.
"Give it here Reid."
"Why don't you come get it?" he had that stupid smirk on his face.
I just turned around to get another one out of my closet. I went to open the doors but they were stuck. "Reid what did you do to my closet?"
"Me? Now what makes you think I would go and do something like that?" Than I felt him behind me, his body pushing up against mine. I took in a sharp breath. Than I felt his lips against my neck.
"Reid" I sighed as I turned around. Which was a mistake because than he claimed my lips. Of course my body reacted instantly and I melted into him. He put his hands on my back bringing me closer to him so are bodies were touching again. Than one of his hands moved up to my bra, he got one of the hooks unclasped before I could stop him. I pushed on his chest but he didn't stop so I pushed him harder putting all my strength into it. Reid stumbled backwards and his eyes were full of lust.
I turned my back to him, calming myself down. My hands were shaking as I tried to clasp my bra back. Than I felt hands helping me, I jumped not expecting it.
"I'm sorry." Reid said and it sounded like he meant it. Than he put my shirt over my shoulder. I felt him move away. I put the shirt on than turned around only to realize Reid had left.
I sighed, that boy was going to kill me if Chase didn't. I walked over to my desk, grabbed my coffee and muffin, than went and sat on my bed.
Not a second later Pogue walked out of the bathroom. "Where'd Reid disappear to?"
I just shrugged my shoulders because I had a piece of muffin in my mouth.
"No doubt off contemplating what really happened between us last night." He than sat down in my desk chair.
"Pogue about what just happened…"
"Don't worry about it, I should remember to lock doors."
"Thanks for saving me, I really had no idea what to say and I'm sure that looked really bad. Both of us missing certain parts of clothing. I'm just glad it was only Reid. If Tyler would have walked in on that I think he would have been redder than me."
"Yeah, I just hope he doesn't go and open his mouth to Caleb."
"Why's that?"
"Honestly don't think Caleb would be to happy. He would say I was taking advantage of you or some shit like that."
I noticed that Pogue had a cup of coffee as well. I guess he had it in the bathroom with him. "So who do I thank for this?" I asked motioning to my half eaten muffin and cup of coffee.
"Baby boy actually, he stopped by this morning before you were awake."
"You should of woke me."
"Well considering the events of yesterday I figured you'd need your sleep."
"Thanks, I'll also have to remember to thank Tyler. Do you want the rest of this?" I motioned to my half eaten muffin.
"What's wrong don't like it?"
"Oh, yeah, I love it. It's my favorite kind, I just don't have much of an appetite this morning."
The rest of the morning Pogue and me hung out in my room. We mainly just laid on my bed and watched TV. It was about noon when there was a knock on my door. I got up and answered it. There was a strange guy standing there.
"Hi, is Pogue here?"
"Um… yeah" I opened the door all the way and looked at Pogue. "It's for you."
"Oh, hey man." Pogue said getting off the bed. "Sam, this is Braden my roommate."
"Hey," I said smiling. "Sorry I've been stealing your roommate from you."
"Oh, its no big deal. After the whole Kate breakup I didn't think he would find anyone else."
Ok, so apparently Braden thought Pogue was my boyfriend.
"Yeah, so what did you need?" Pogue asked. Apparently he wanted Braden gone.
"Oh, just that Big John called and said the parts for you bike are in. He also said that he feels sorry for you because you have a lot of work ahead of you."
"Thanks man, that's great. I'll get there as soon as I can."
I swear, I saw a silent conversation go on between them, I thought that was only a girl thing. Than Braden excused himself saying he was meeting someone for lunch.
Once Pogue closed the door I gave him a weird look. "What?"
"Don't give me that, you know what."
He sighed. "Look, I'm sorry, but I had to tell him something. It was the only thing I could come up with to explain why I was spending so much time with you."
"The other guys haven't told anyone else that."
"Well the other guys don't have a roommate to ask questions. But look, if you want me to I come up with something else."
"It's fine. After everything you've done for me it's the lest I can do."
"You sure?"
"Yes Pogue, I manage someway. Even though it's going to be so hard pretending to be your girlfriend around your roommate."
"Ok, so I have a favor to ask."
"Ok, and what's that?"
"Do you think you could give me a lift to the garage, after we go get something to eat."
"Yeah, I think I can manage that. It would be nice to get away from here for a while."
With that we left to go get some food. We ended up going to some little dinner that was across the street from the garage. We took the food to go so Pogue could get a start on his bike. I was sitting on the hood of the car waiting for Pogue to come back from the garage office. He ran in to get his parts and to grab the bike. Apparently, he was good friends with the owner and he was getting the work space and the use of the tools for free.
After a couple of minuets he came around the corner, he didn't have anything in his hands and I was confused. I took a drink from my soda. "Those are the world's smallest parts." I teased.
"Ha ha. John had them put in there with my bike." Pogue said motioning to the steel door right in front of my car. "I had to get the keys."
"Why don't you come eat before you food gets cold?" I asked as I patted the hood of my car.
"Fine" he said as he joined me.
We sat and ate without saying a word, it was a comfortable silence though.
When Pogue was finished he got up and went to the door. He unlocked it and lifted the door. Now I was expecting to see, some awesome bike. But what I saw was a trashed bike. It looked like it had been run over, I didn't see how it could be fixed.
"Pogue what in the world is that?'
"It's my bike."
"What happened to it? "Well, do you remember me mentioning the accident that we lost a classmate in?"
"Yeah, it was my first day of classes I believe."
"Yeah, well this was part of the accident."
"Oh, my gosh Pogue were you on it? "Yeah."
I got off the hood of my car and walked toward the bike to get a better look. "You could have been killed."
"Yeah, I got lucky."
"And you want to fix this thing?"
"Yeah, why not?"
"No the better question is why? You want to ride a bike you almost died on?"
"It's a guy thing."
I just rolled my eyes, and walked back to sit on my hood. "Well good luck with that, it looks impossible to fix."
"Naw, you just got to know what your doing." and with that he started working on it.
It wasn't long before he took his shirt off, he claimed it was getting in his way. I'm not sure how he didn't freeze. I was cold and I still had my shirt on. It was interesting watching him work, he was so focused and determined. A couple times he offered to call the other guys so that I wouldn't have to sit and watch him, but I declined.
Lets just say 8 hours later, three coffee breaks, and one break for dinner and his bike was fixed. It looked good as new. We were both sitting on my hood admiring his work.
"I can't believe you actually fixed it."
"Ouch, thanks for the confidence in me."
"Sorry, it just looked beyond hope."
"Well, it's not exactly finished. I have to wait for new tires before I can test run it. But it starts, so it's a good sign."
"I'm surprised they guys haven't wondered where we are."
"I'm sure Reid is still pissed about this morning. Tyler know better than to worry about me, and Caleb already text me to find out where we were. I'm going to go give the key back to John, but I'll be right back."
Than he walked off around the corner. I pulled my phone out of my pocket remembering I had put it on silent. I looked and I had three new messages. The first was from Tyler
Tyler- I'm sure your with Pogue and that he can take care of you, but if you get board call me.
Me-Hey, baby boy. Yeah I have been with Pogue all day. Thanks for the offer but it was interesting watching him fix his bike.
Tyler-Cool. Did he finish?
Me-Yep. Now all he has to do is wait for the tires so he can test drive, but it starts.
I sent him a picture that I had taken earlier with my phone.
Tyler-Awesome, it looks ten times better, tell Pogue I said nice work
Me-Ok, will do. See you tomorrow?
Tyler-Yep
Me-Oh, by the way thanks for the coffee and muffin this morning. I owe you a big hug
Tyler-Your welcome, it was no problem. I look forward to that hug tomorrow.
Me-Night Tyler.
Tyler-Night c u tomorrow.
Tyler is such a sweetheart. I'm just surprised that Reid hasn't corrupted him. I answered Caleb's text.
Caleb-How are you feeling? And where are you guys?
Me-I feel….ok. Or I guess as ok as expected. Still at garage, Pogue finished the bike
Caleb-Yeah, well we can talk tomorrow if you need to. Yeah I know Pogue told me.
Me-Yeah, we can talk tomorrow. I'm assuming Pogue told you mostly what happened.
Caleb-No not really. He said he didn't know much and that we could talk once you felt up to it.
Me-? Ok….
Caleb-What's wrong?
Me-Nothing, I just thought Pogue would know what had happened. Him rescuing me and all.
Caleb-Yeah, maybe he thought it would be better if you told us. I'm sure he doesn't want to get the facts wrong.
Me-Yeah, lets go with that.
Caleb-Does he know something that he's not letting on about?
Me-Not completely sure, but maybe.
Caleb-That's not like Pogue. He usually tells me everything.
Me-I don't know maybe he doesn't know anything. I was just assuming.
Caleb-…. Ok, well were here when your ready to talk
Me-Well there's not much to say. It's not like Chase said much. He was to busy doing other things…..
Caleb-I'm sorry. I shouldn't of brought it up.
Me-No, its ok.
Caleb-You're right though there really isn't anything to talk about if he didn't say anything.
Me-Well…..
Caleb-Well what?
Me-Well he did say something.
Caleb-What?
Me-He said you guys are going to be the death of me and that you don't seem to understand that I'm his because you keep touching me.
Caleb-Who's been touching you.
Me-Well he put it as a collective all of you.
Caleb-But who specifically?
Me-Caleb don't get mad.
Caleb-Reid….
Me-Yeah
Caleb-When?
Me-The night I told you all about Chase.
When Caleb didn't answer right away I got nervous. I was afraid he was going to kill Reid.
Caleb-We'll talk tomorrow. In person.
Me-Caleb, I'm sure its not what you think.
Caleb-Oh, I'm sure it is.
Me-Caleb, its not. We went for a walk and talked about what happened between me and Chase when I thought it was Reid.
Caleb-Ok, like I said we'll talk about it tomorrow.
Me-Fine, but you have to promise me you won't do or say anything, to anyone.
Caleb-I can't promise that
Me-CALEB!
Caleb-Fine I promise not to say anything until we talk tomorrow.
Me-Thanks.
Caleb-Mhm.
Me-Caleb?
Caleb-Huh
Me-Are you mad?
Caleb-I haven't decided yet. We'll talk tomorrow. Night
Me-Night bro, love you.
Caleb-Love you too sis.
I sighed, tomorrow was going to be a ruff day. I should be studying for midterms which are in two weeks. But instead I have to deal with Chase and keeping my friends from killing each other. I decided I might as well tackle the last message now too.
Reid-I'm really sorry about what happened this morning. I don't know what came over me.
Me-Don't worry about it. But seriously Reid, you got to stop doing stuff like that.
Reid-I know, I was just pissed
Me-About what?
Reid-…..
Me-Reid, is it what Pogue said?
Reid-Yeah, he just like made it seem like you were something to be won
Me-Reid he was joking, nothing happened
Reid-That's not what it looked like to me
Me-Come on Reid. It's me were talking about here.
Reid-So
Me-So… I would never do something like that. It was a misunderstanding. I'll explain later.
Reid-Explain now
Me-Can't it wait?
Reid-I guess…
Me-Ok, fine. I walked in on Pogue getting dressed. I thought he stepped out for a minuet while I was sleeping. So I opened my bathroom door to wash my face and Pogue was in there changing. I was shocked and that's when you walked in.
Reid-Why didn't he lock the fucking door?
Me-He said he forgot.
Reid-Forgot my ass
Me-Hey, he's not use to having to do that. He has a boy roommate.
Reid-Why are you making excesses for him
Me-I'm not, I'm just telling the truth
Reid-It sounds to me like you fell for him
Me-Oh w/e Reid
Reid-That's the best defense you can come up with?
Me-Why do you care? Remember you gave me permission to?
I knew I shouldn't have said it, but he was acting like a little kid and I was already mad at Caleb for jumping to conclusions. I just stood up for him. I realized I should probably warn him about Caleb.
Me-Look, I'm sorry. I'm just stressed right now. But heads up, Caleb knows about the other night.
Reid-So?
Me-He doesn't seem to happy
Reid-Whatever he'll get over it. Besides he saw me kiss you last night.
Me-Yeah, but that was before he knew what Chase said.
Reid-What did Chase say?
Me-Something about you guys being the death of me because you all don't seem to understand that I'm his because you keep touching me.
Reid-I'm going to kick his fucking ass.
Me-Reid
Reid-Don't Reid me. He can't claim you. Only you can decide who you want to be with.
Me-I know, but seriously watch out for Caleb.
Reid-He'll be fine after you and Pogue get together.
Me-Who said Pogue and me are going to get together?
Reid-Come on Sam give me some credit. I'm not that slow.
Me-I never said you were. But that still doesn't mean were going to get together.
Reid-Sure, we'll see.
