Author's Note: Had a hard time getting direction for this chapter. I got an idea though. I think I know where I want to take this.
Chapter 11 (Kevin POV)
It was morning, and I was disturbed from sleep by light flooding through the window. I rolled over, rubbing at my eyes. It was then that I noticed (a) I wasn't in my bed and (b) I wasn't in my room. Then I noticed the Dark Horse himself a few feet from me.
It dawned on me that last night I had sex with Edd Vincent. And it was awesome. I didn't notice it in the heat of the moment, but Edd really is well-endowed.
I frowned as I saw that he was getting dressed. Couldn't he cuddle a bit longer?
He noticed I was awake, and greeted me with a curt, "Good morning."
Well, gee, that's totally what I want the morning after the best sex I've ever had.
"Good morning to you too, sunshine," I grumbled. "How about we replay last night?"
"Leave my home," Edd said.
"What?" I asked, hoping I'd heard him wrong.
"I told you to leave my home," he repeated. "Last night was a terrible lapse in judgement on my part. It should never have happened."
I was stunned. Did he really just say that?
"Are you saying last night was nothing?" I asked quietly.
"Yes," Edd said. "Get out."
Tears threatening to spill, I threw my clothes on and stormed out. I thought he liked me. What the fuck was last night then? He sure didn't think it was a mistake when he was holding me as we fell asleep. God I sound like a chick, but seriously where does he get off being such a thoughtless asshole.
I stomped through my house, throwing myself down on my bed. Burying myself in the pillow, I ended up falling asleep.
I woke up later that evening after dreaming of last night, and it was then that I decided I couldn't just let him get away like that. I knew it'd be like poking the bear, or in this case the shark, but I had to get a legit reason for his sudden epiphany.
I chuckled to myself as I dressed. "Epiphany." Edd's rubbing off on me.
Slamming the front door behind me, I started back to Edd's house, determination and anger radiating off of me like a fire. I pounded on his door, crossing my arms as I waited.
Edd opened the door, glaring down at me. "I told you to go home. I did not not tell you to go home, and then come back, did I?"
"Look, Edd, I just want to know what I did wrong," I explained. "Last night, I saw the way you smiled before I fell asleep. I remember that smile from when we were kids; it was your real smile. What happened between last night and this morning?"
One second, I'm standing my ground, returning his glare fearlessly. The next, there's a kitchen knife pressed against my shirt.
"Get out of my face before I lose my temper, Barr," Edd snarled.
"You wouldn't hurt me, Edd," I said calmly.
"You wanna risk it?"
"What's wrong? I thought we had something."
"You were wrong. Leave my property."
"Fuck you."
I turned, storming back to my house for the second time today. One way or another, I was gonna get Edd to fall for me. He's denying his feelings. And I know he's lying, because last night, he really smiled. I thought that smile had died with the old Double D, but I know Double D is still in there and I'm gonna bring him back.
