Hey guys, we are so sorry that we haven't updated lately, I've been so busy with college classes and my cowriter has been busy with school and dance. My schedule will be crazy due to having play rehearsal on Monday and Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings until the second week of April. We should have more time to update more during the summer. Again, we are so sorry and we hope you enjoy this chapter.
Previously on What Could Go Wrong:
Erin's POV:
"Hey Erin." I heard a drawling voice behind say, causing me to turn around.
Once I realized that the voice belonged to Jack Brewer of all people, I immediately glare at him. When he gave me a pointed look, I relaxed my face and smiled at him. How could I forget that people were watching us and believe we're dating?
"Hey Jack, did you want something?" I asked him while raising an eyebrow.
"You are absolutely right my dear." He said as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
I tensed up immediately, but I smiled in order to somehow correct my mistake. Of course Jack noticed because he had that stupid smirk plastered on his face.
"What do you want?" I muttered, just low enough for him to hear me. "Besides to annoy the life out of me..."
Jack chuckled. "Why, I just want to see my girl."
I rolled my eyes. I could hear whispers around us in the hallway as my wide-eyed classmates stared at us in shock.
"Jack Brewer dating Erin Wilkes?"
"How did that happen?"
"What is this world coming to?"
I could especially agree with that last statement. A world where I'm dating Jack Brewer...what is the world coming to indeed?
"Is this what you wanted?" I whispered to Jack as I looked up at him.
" What, it's not that bad. He said with that smirk once again plastered on his face.
"Not that bad? Do you even know the definition of the word?" I asked Jack and he looked down at me, the smirk gone as fast as it came.
" Hey, if you want to keep insulting me, I have no problem letting everyone know about our little secret. Your move sweetheart." Jack whispered in my ear.
"Is that a threat Brewer?" I ask him while raising an eyebrow.
"That's a promise." Jack says, his voice dangerously low.
" Fine. I promise not to insult you anymore." I say and sigh.
" Good girl." He says with a smirk.
Yeah, that's a promise I can keep. (Heavy sarcasm, if you didn't notice.) And I'm sure he knows it too, but he likes making me miserable.
"Any boyfriend I had would never insult me," I told him conversationally. "It wouldn't be believable. One, because I'm so awesome-"
He snorted, and I glared at him.
"And two, I'd have dropped his butt so fast no one would've ever known we'd dated."
"Oh, but so many people end up with the opposite of their type, and are in love," he countered.
"I'm warning you Brewer..."
He chuckled. "Warning me? What are you gonna do about it Wilkes?"
I didn't know how to answer that, Jack already threatened to tell everyone the truth if I kept insulting him, that threat is already taken and it's not like threatening to tell everyone an embarrassing secret about Jack will scare him.
"I swear I'll... I'll..." I start but I couldn't think of a threat good enough.
"Ooh, I'm shaking Wilkes. You are so scary." Jack says, his voice laced with sarcasm and chuckles.
I glared at him, furious about this whole situation I got us into just because I wanted to get people off my back. Gosh, I hate Jack Brewer!
Jack's POV:
Gosh, I love Erin Wilkes. This girl is so cute when she gets frustrated.
Erin stamped her foot in frustration, threw my arm off her shoulder, and stalked off toward her class. I shook my head. She either forgot we have the same class together next, or chose to ignore it.
I chuckled and took off after her. "Erin dear, do wait up!" I called after her, causing quite a few heads to turn.
I could see her quick moving figure tense up in fury, and she balled up her fists like she was ready to hit something. Probably me.
"Erin!" I teased again.
Erin stopped dead in her tracks, allowing me to catch up with her.
Unfortunately, once I reached her side, Erin turned around and punched me in the chest, hard. Luckily no one was around to see that, but it still shocked and confused me nonetheless.
"That's better, I have been wanting to do that for a while." Erin says with a smirk and both hands on her hips.
" What was that for?" I ask her, trying not to laugh at how adorable she's being right now despite the fact that she just punched me in the chest.
"I have to have a reason?" Erin asked as she tilted her head to the side, that smirk still plastered on her face.
"It sure would be nice if you did," I retorted. "A good girlfriend doesn't resort to physical violence. Some people would call that an abusive relationship."
Erin rolled her eyes, and I continued to grin.
"We need to go to class, loser, and you better not distract me from my studies."
Loser? I laughed. "Distract you, darling? You mean like this?" I hugged her from behind, letting my lips fall to the side of her neck, where I knew she was extremely ticklish.
Erin let out a shriek of laughter and jumped away from me. When she caught her breath, and looked less surprised, she glared at me. "I will murder you in your sleep if you do that one more time, Jack Brewer. Then I wouldn't need to play this part. I can either be in jail for the rest of my life, which is a much better option than being with you. Or I can play the sad girlfriend at your funeral, convincing my parents that I'm not ready to date because it...hurts too much."
She pretended to let out a sob. I rolled my eyes. "Adorable."
"The performance of a lifetime, I'm sure," she replied.
"Uh huh, sure."
" Look Brewer, I know you love to make my life miserable, but just know, I can and I will make this situation your worst nightmare if you ever try to pull a stunt like that again." Erin said, her voice dangerously low and glares at me.
"I don't know, you seemed to really like it." I say while smirking causing Erin to roll her eyes.
"Yeah right, like I enjoyed you trying to kiss my neck." Erin said before glaring at me.
"Are you sure? I think you really liked it, that it's driving you crazy and you're begging me for more." I tease and Erin scoffs.
"Don't you ever try to pull a stunt like that again." Erin said before balling her fists.
"Or what?" I ask with a smirk on my face.
Chapter 5: Game On Darling
Jack's POV:
It didn't take long to find out "what". Erin brushed her lips across my ear and whispered a few words that made my face feel fifty degrees hotter. Trust me, you don't want to know what she said. And if you do… Well, sorry but I am not telling you.
"Touché," I mumbled, ever so slightly impressed by how far she was willing to take this. "Game on darling."
"Game on?" You don't believe me Brewer?" Erin said as she traced figure eights on my forearm, her body pressed against mine, making me blush, my face turning an even deeper shade of red.
"I could kiss you right now if I wanted to." Erin said as she looked up at me, her lips close enough to accidently brush against mine.
Right when I thought she was about to kiss me, she pulled away and smirked, realizing she has me right where she wants me.
I looked at her as she continued to look at me and smirk, I tried to think of something I could say to cover up the fact that Erin made me blush.
"That's a lot of big talk Wilkes, now you've got me wondering whether you can actually do it or not." I say as I smirk at Erin watching as she looked at me, her smirk faltering, and scoffed.
"Are you suggesting that I prove myself to you Brewer? That I should kiss you?" Erin asked, a small playful grin dancing on her face.
"That's exactly what I'm suggesting." Despite myself, I gulped when she came a little closer. Her lips were so close that I could feel her breath tickling me.
Then, she placed her lips right beneath my earlobe and whispered, "Oh, but I'm not falling for your games Jack Brewer, I'm not ready to kiss you just yet." She pulled away, her smirk still in place.
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever Wilkes, I knew you couldn't do it."
"It's not about whether I can or not. That's not even a challenge. I lose either way. Either I try to prove myself to you by kissing you, or I don't kiss you and you still make it look like I'm weak. Either way I lose. So, I will not degrade myself by in an unbeatable challenge."
"Baby, you do realize you'll have to kiss me eventually if you expect us to keep up this charade without people getting suspicious." I say as I glance down at Erin's lips before smirking at her, making Erin's mouth gape open.
"Eventually being key word Brewer. I have every intention of making you wait for a very long time." Erin says while smirking.
"You know I'm not a patient man Wilkes." I say as I move closer to Erin, letting my lips fall to that ticklish spot on her neck, who cares if she threatens to kill me again?
Erin pushed me away though, eyes alight with mischief. "Ah, but anyone worth their boots will know I'm a woman of virtue if ever there was one, so you'll have to try harder than that. I can just tell people I wasn't a fan of PDA and though you try to control your hormones, you often can't."
"I hate you." I glared at her.
"Feeling's mutual sweetheart." Erin grinned. "I should totally be a lawyer because you just got burned Brewer."
I glared at her not entirely knowing what to say.
"What's the matter Brewer, are you upset that you were rejected? Can't handle the fact that for once a girl isn't falling for your charms and isn't swept off her feet by you being devilishly handsome?" Erin says with a small smirk.
"So, you think I'm charming and handsome?" I ask with a smirk.
"Shut it Brewer, I know exactly what you're doing. You're trying to smile and charm me and I'm supposed to just swoon and fall for you. Well guess what? It's not working. Desperation is not a good look on you Jack." Erin says, her eyes narrowing.
"Oh honey, everything looks good on me."
"Have you ever seen yourself in a fedora?"
I rolled my eyes. "No one looks good in a fedora."
"I do." She smirked. "Also, have you looked in the mirror today? You might need a few touch ups of that makeup."
"I don't wear makeup!" I said this a bit too loudly. Erin smirked.
"Really? Your mom's scrapbook begs to differ. Erin says with a smirk.
"How did you find out about that?" I ask shocked.
"Oh, while you went on a run before karate practice yesterday, your mom came over to hang out with my mom and she showed me some very sweet pictures of you. Your mom is my favorite person right now." Erin says a giggles a little.
"That was one time." I say trying to play it off.
"Right, let's go with that." Erin says and rolls her eyes.
I'm positively fuming. As much as I like Erin, she gets on my very last nerve. She is probably the person I both love and hate most in the world, aside from my parents maybe.
"Two can play this game," I growled at her. "Just you wait Erin Wilkes. You're not the only one who can dig up dirt from our childhood."
"I'd like to see you try Brewer. I'm an open book, I have nothing to hide about my childhood." Erin says grinning.
"I'm sure I can find something just as humiliating as my mom's scrapbook, just give me time Wilkes." I say glaring at her.
"Oh sweetie, I could give you all the time in the world and you'd still find to use against me." Erin says, tilting her head to the side, a look that's daring me to say something lingering in her eyes as if she's trying to hide something, such as fear.
I smirked, realizing that she's hiding some kind of juicy secret from me and she doesn't want me to know what it is.
"Game on darling." I whisper to myself.
We hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, we worked hard on it to please you guys, again we are sorry that we didn't update sooner.
Oh, and I wanted to share some good news with you guys that is kinda unrelated to this chapter. I am now a Drama major so that will affect my updating schedule in the fall on Mondays and Wednesdays as well as Saturdays. I will try to update during the week if I have time, also I will try to work on some more stories, if you have any suggestions for storylines please feel free to comment them or send me a message with the idea attached, I will try to use your idea if I can, it depends on my writing style because some ideas people have suggested to me in the past were far too extravagant and advanced for my writing style, if that be the case, I may suggest you keep that idea and write that story for yourself, or I may past the idea onto my cowriter and try to incorporate it into a future chapter or have her use the idea for one of her stories.
Also, please suggest things you'd like to see in future chapters and we will try to use your ideas the best we can. We will try to update The New Girl soon since it has been too long since we last updated, we will try to work on it this weekend if possible.
Thank you, guys, for understanding!
God bless!
