Chapter IX: Temptation
(Ellie's POV)
I don't know what I was thinking about coming over to Craig's. I just did it. Sounds confusing, I know but that's what I did. Besides, after hearing about Ashley's times being here, I had to see what the Manning household looked like. But when I followed him to wherever we were headed, I didn't think to end up in his garage.
And when is stepped inside, it looked cluttered. There were amps around unplugged and an untouched keyboard, a few old tires and a couch. I sat on the couch. I saw Craig hit his foot on the amp and cussed under his breath. I heard him. My eyes treaded off to see a guitar case.
"How's it going?" I pointed to the case.
He sighed at it. "Huh, it's gone missing. I was stupid at losing that guitar. Joey's gonna buy me another one day since Ash bought me that one." He mentioned.
I nodded my head and started to move around on the couch. It was sorta lumpy. "I haven't touched mine since Ash left. Guess she had a big effect on our lives, huh?"
Craig sighed again. "Yeah."
Can this get anymore weirder?
"Look, about the other night.." I started. He cut me off. I guess he didn't want to hear that from me.
"It just happened right? And personally, I don't regret it." Craig told me up front. I just looked at me and I knew he couldn't look away. Not after what we did.
"You don't?" He shook his head no. "I just don't want it to be awkward between us. I mean, we hardly know each other and…"
"It just happened. We were drunk and shit was going down." Craig explained to me while I looked uncomfortable.
"Fine. It just happened." I replied back. Craig just nodded his head like he agreed and it got silent again. But we couldn't look away.
Somehow I was really getting nervous. I don't look at anyone like that. Maybe with Marco when he and I were together, sorta and with Sean, it was intense staring that got us more closer than I ever could have thought.
I noticed that his eyes were glancing at my lips. Did he want to kiss me again? I don't know. But I couldn't resist him again. Sure, I was sober now but when I was drunk when we kissed. But all these thoughts were pushed away when his lips touched mine again, without the help of alcohol. It was just hot, heated passion. Maybe lust. But for some reason, I didn't pull away, and neither did he.
And I kept kissing him.

His lips against mine just felt so right. Like maybe I was meant to kiss him but I knew what pain this would cause. I mean, did he like me? Or did he just want me as one of those friends with benefits? I wasn't going to let myself be thrown out there and be hurt again. Not after Marco me to be his true self or even Sean.
But what could I do?
How could I not resist him? A part of me was a bit jealous of him and Ashley when they were together. So perfect and so into each other. A part of me wanted to be Ashley but it would crush her if she found out that in the beginning I had a thing for him. But she doesn't know that. Neither does Craig, and never will.
We kissed for what seemed forever, taking little breaths here and there but we never parted from each other's arms. "You're so beautiful." He whispered in my ear, a saying I never thought I'd hear. It was something new, a compliment that I didn't even heard from Sean. Though we said I love you and it meant something, but this was new. How was I gonna take that?
I parted away from him, slightly embarrassed and looked down at the floor of the couch, inching away from him. "Ellie…" he said to me.
"Craig, why are we doing this?" I asked him. I wanted to know. I needed to know.
"I don't know." Craig said to me, sighing deeply. "I just wanted to kiss you again." He said that quite honest.
I looked at him and looked down again. I sighed and scratched my arm, feeling the small marks I was making on them. Good thing he didn't see them. "Craig, I just don't know what to do about this." I replied. "I mean, you're Ashley's ex-boyfriend and I don't know if I can deal with this right now."
He nodded his head. "I understand."
"Do you?"
"I don't want to but if that's what you want, that's fine." He said kind of upset to me. He got up from his position and opened the door to leave the garage. He wasn't going to win this war.
I got up from my spot and stopped him. "Stop." I said to him, turning him around. I never noticed but his hair got slightly darker. It looked more black than brown. I looked up at him, nearing close to him. My eyes treaded up to his, locking in another intense gaze. I leaned up and pressed my lips against him again.
This was it. I was giving in. Into the temptation that I was avoiding for days.
And he kissed me back instantly, his hands on my waist, pulling me to him. He picked me up off the ground; my legs went around him. He was strong too. I didn't know that. He carried me to the couch while we were still kissing.
It seemed that Craig was giving into the temptation too.
Cause the next thing I noticed our jackets ended up on the floor as well as a few other clothing that I let him take off. But I couldn't let it go too far. I didn't want him to see me like this. Not in a garage, vulnerable and with train marks on my arms, I didn't want that. But I wanted to feel his arms around me again. And soon, I was sucked into his temptation again.

A/N: The end of chapter 9, yay! Chapter 10, in Craig's POV will be up soon. And I'm thinking of adding a sequel to this fic alone, since I know how the ending will be and everything. As well as a new part to the compilation series involving a new unconventional couple. I won't reveal who but it will have a mini-triangle in it. Bum bum bum, haha. So any ideas or comments please leave them in the reviewing box but no flaming here cause I have no time for it and neither do you.
