Chapter Twenty One
Patrick POV:
"We can't keep sneaking off like this." I said as she kissed along my neck.
"But it's so much fun." She purred in my ear. I let out a low moan as she sucked on the sweet spot on my neck. My hands were clenching at her waist pulling her closer to me.
"My parents are getting suspicious." I said and I felt her laugh while she licked down to my collarbone.
"We're two consenting adults. We don't need their permission." She said between kisses. Her lips finally met back with mine and I didn't wait before plunging my tongue into her mouth. Everything about her made me go crazy. He hair, her eyes, her smell, he athleticism, and of course her insanely hot body, but she was also one of the nicest girls I've ever met, and I've met a lot being a figure skater.
"Why can't be stop sneaking off though?" I asked as we broke apart. "If we're two consenting adults, it shouldn't be a problem to show affection in public." I said and she sighed.
"I don't want anyone to know." She said and I glared at her.
"No, you don't want Jack to know." I said.
"She's my best friend Patrick. I don't want her to be mad at me." She said.
"Sammi, we've been doing this for almost a year. I like you, and I would like to show that outside of closets, and empty rooms." I said and she sighed.
"Just let me tell her first, and than I promise we don't have to sneak around anymore." She said and sighed.
"Fine, but tell her soon, because seeing you completely kill it on that half pipe turns me on so much that sometimes I have to take several cold showers just to calm down." She giggled and I pulled her into me.
"God, what are you doing to me Patrick Herondale? I'm a badass snowboarder, and you keep turning me into a giggling school girl." She said and I smirked.
"I wouldn't mind the uniform." I said and she slapped my shoulder.
"That Herondale gene is strong, Jack wasn't kidding." She said and I laughed as I pressed my lips back to hers and we continued kissing.
I don't know what happened, but during the fall session last year I found myself hanging out with Jack and Sammi a lot more than I normally would, and Jack would always leave for whatever reason she used and Sammi and I would be left alone. Which I didn't find strange or awkward, I had known her for years, and she was Jack's best friend. But one night we were watching a movie and Jack fell asleep which left Sammi and I watching it alone. At some point we got so close that she was using my shoulder as a pillow. Our eyes locked and than our lips touched and I've been hooked ever since.
My phone went off signaling that it was time I had to teach my next lesson. I hung up my competitive skates after the Olympics and decided to take some slack off of Camille and Julian around the facility and I actually really loved it. It was something that made me happy and I got to watch the kids grow and that in and of itself is so rewarding.
"I have to go, but can we see each other later?" I asked and she smiled.
"I have a night session tonight, so meet me behind the shed at 10." She said and I gave her a nod, a kiss and than I was out of the door. I hated that we had to hide how we feel, but she really didn't want Jack to find out, and I understood and yea she might be pissed for a little while, but she'd get over it if I was happy, and Sammi just didn't see it that way.
Clary POV:
Jace and I were cuddled in bed watching some tape of the boarders from this afternoons session. I couldn't help but keep thinking about Patrick. Something was up with him, he would randomly sneak off for weird periods of time, he has come back with lipstick on his collar, his cheek, his neck, his lips, and when I brought it up he immediately shut down or left the room.
"Jace, has Patrick seemed different to you?" I asked.
"You mean have I noticed the lipstick stains on him a lot recently? Yes I have." He said and I laughed.
"He's seeing someone but whenever I ask he just ignores that I asked or leaved immediately." I said and Jace sighed.
"He's 18 babe, he probably doesn't want to share his relationship status with his mother." Jace said.
"I know, but I want him to be able to tell us if he's seeing a girl." I said.
"How many times before has Patrick told us about the girls he sees?" Jace asked. I was silent and that was his answer. "He told us about Christie when he was ten, that lasted for the rest of the session and she never came back, and Patrick hasn't mentioned a single girl since."
"I just want to know which girl it is." I said and Jace laughed.
"Always so curious." He said and I smiled.
"You don't want to know?" I asked.
"I'd rather not know the girl who is doing dirty things to my son." Jace said and I propped myself up and looked at him. He laughed at my confused expression. "All these girls here are innocent ladies, I will not defile that with an image of her sucking our songs neck."
"That's so gross." I said and Jace laughed.
"You didn't notice that hickey the other day?" Jace asked and my eyes widened.
"Hickey? Where?" I nearly shouted.
"It was at the base of his neck. Near his collarbone. It was decent sized one too." Jace said and I cringed.
"Maybe I don't want to know." I said and Jace pulled me into his side.
"He'll tell us when he's ready." Jace said and I nodded. I turned my attention back to the TV and cuddled as close to Jace as I could. Before I knew it my eyes were drooping and I was falling into a blissful sleep wrapped in the arms of the best man I knew.
Time Jump – One Week Later
Jacqueline POV:
Since I had morning workout sessions this week I was sitting outside watching the night session. I loved watching young boarders making progress. It made me think back to the hours I put in as a child and know that it paid off. I was sitting alone for a while when I saw Sammi walking up to me. She sat down and smiled as we watched the boarder.
"Jack, we need to talk." She said and I got nervous.
"Is everything okay?" I asked.
"I hope so." She said and I sat up straighter.
"What's wrong? This isn't your last year here is it?" I asked and she smiled.
"No. I plan on coming abck until your parents kick me out." She said and I laughed.
"You know they'd never do that." I said.
"But you might." She said and I was confused.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I've been hiding something from you for awhile now." She said and my heart started racing. "At first I didn't want to tell you because it was all new and I didn't know if it was a one time thing, or a short little spree, but than it got longer and I kept putting off telling you and since you started seeing Ian it's been easy because you aren't around as much." She was rambling and I knew she as nervous.
"Sammi, whatever it is, you can tell me." I said as I grabbed her hand.
"For about 9 months, Patrick and I have been seeing each other." She said and I felt like I just had all the wind knocked out of me.
"You've been hooking up with my brother?" I said feeling absolutely disgusted.
"We aren't just hooking up. It started out with us just making out whenever you ended up leaving us alone, which was a lot after you started seeing Ian. But than we found ourselves sneaking off to meet up, and staying out late talking, or cheering each other on during those silly competitions that are held here."
"Are you sleeping with my brother?" I asked and she looked away and I thought I was going to puke. "You've had sex with my brother."
"I wanted to tell you but I didn't want you to hate me. Do you know how hard it is to keep something like that from your best friend?" She said and I stood up.
"I can't even look at you right now Samantha. I need time." I said and I walked away. I couldn't believe what she just told me and I couldn't be around her anymore. When I walked into the house mom was sitting on the couch watching some show. I plopped down next to her and she looked at me.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Sammi and Patrick are having sex and didn't tell me." I said and immediately regretted it because it was my mom.
"Oh." She said and I looked at her. "I knew he was seeing someone, but I didn't know who."
"You knew he was seeing someone? How?" I asked.
"Oh baby, he comes home with lipstick smeared all over him some nights and he smells like a girl. He sneaks off and disappears at random times. I knew it was a girl but I didn't know who."
"How did I not know? He's my twin." I said and mom put her arm around me.
"You're preoccupied. You training twice as hard as you've ever done, you have Ian to think about, you've schoolwork. It's a lot for a kid to handle, and clearly they have been secretive about it."
"She's my best friend mom." I said and she pulled me into her side.
"I know she is baby, but she's also a teenage girl, who has eyes." She said and I laughed.
"We've known each other for so long, it's weird. I still think of that time that we would all have sleepovers and Patrick would let us dress him up as a princess."
"Times change sweetheart. They clearly have mutual feelings for each other, I mean how long have they been seeing each other?" She asked.
"Sammi said for about 9 months." I said.
"And how long have you ever seen your brother stick with the same girl?" My mom asked and I sighed.
"Not very long." I admitted.
"I think you need to talk to Patrick, and than talk to Sammi again. You're too upset and shocked right now to do it." My mom said and I nodded. I gave her a kiss on the cheek and stood up.
"Thanks mom." I said and she smiled.
"It's what I'm here for." She said and I left and went to my room. Tonight was weird, and I didn't like it, but maybe tomorrow will be better.
Patrick POV:
"She hates me Pat." Sammi said as we sat on the bench next to the half pipe.
"I'm sure she doesn't hate you." I tried to reassure her.
"She walked away from me." She said and I out my hand on her back.
"She was in shock. She just found out her best friend and her twin have been together for 9 months, that's enough to shock even Jacqueline Herondale." I said and she looked at me.
"She was so grossed out when she found out we were having sex." She said and I laughed.
"Well, how many siblings do you know that like to hear about the others sex life?" I said and she laughed and leaned into me.
"I hope she comes around." Sammi said and I kissed the top of her head. After a few minutes I felt my phone vibrate and when I looked I had a text from Jack.
Jacqueline – Just give me a little time to process. I talked to mom, and she helped me realize a few things, but I still need sometime.
It read and I smiled and took a deep breath.
Patrick – I know this is a shock, and I would really like to talk some time tomorrow if that's alright with you. I love you Jack, and I'm sorry if we hurt you.
Jacqueline – I love you too Pat.
I put my phone down and pulled Sammi into my side even more. It might be a little weird at first but I think Jacqueline will come around, because I really like Sammi and I won't go down without a fight, even if it is against my own twin.
