Chapter 27
Amara's POV
I huff loudly annoyed looking through Stu's truck window looking for any sign of him being there recently.
"Why are you so worried about Stu anyway," Tatum asks a few feet away, annoyed by holding up her purse.
"We'll we kinda kissed then he suddenly left saying not a word," I try to rush out but Tatum jumps surprised clutching her pearls.
"Shut up, you guys kissed? He's been wanting to do that forever good for you Stu," she cheers. I roll my eyes thinking she wouldn't be saying that if she knew what he pulled last year with Billy.
"Mara you know I love you but we have to get to our classes," she reminds me impatiently I hesitate for a moment looking through the truck one more time before following her I could already tell this day was gonna suck.
Classes went by pretty fast despite the fact I was distracted in most of them. Stu was nowhere to be seen all day. I was worried. Was he avoiding me because of the kiss or what it was about to lead to? Or maybe he was guilty about Billy.
Mickey slams his tray down next to me bringing me out of my thoughts. "So Tatum about this Pink party.. I just don't think I can make it," he teases her but she rolls her eyes simply replying.
"Who said you were invited,"
He holds a hand over his heart letting out a fake ouch.
"It took me forever to book this place, you know how many people I had to boss around?" she starts to rant making me laugh sometimes I cannot with her.
Randy walks up to our table clearing his throat. Sidney turns to him, giving him an immediate smile. "Hey Randy, what's up?"
He gulps before turning to Derek who gives him a thumbs up whispering that he had this. "I wanna take you to a Drive-In theater. Not as a date..wait what am I saying? Yes as a date but a date with me."
By the time he's done Sidney's cheeks are flamed red as she tries to keep her eyes on him and away from everyone's stares. "Yes. I'd love that,"
His eyes go wide in surprise as he looks from her then to Derek then back to her, "Really? You know what I'll take it before you change your mind," he says quickly kissing her cheek before leaving.
"Good for him the geek finally got the girl," Tatum teases, rolling her eyes.
"Now it's my turn," Mickey says before turning to me. It only takes two seconds for me to realize what he meant.
"Don't even," I scoff, grabbing my things and not turning back as I walk away from them. Mickey always joked like that, sometimes it was annoying other times he made me smile against my will. I almost roll my eyes into my head when I see Gale Weathers blocking my exit out of the lunch area.
"I just wanna talk. Off the record," she defends holding her hands up.
"Like anything you say is off the record. Read your book by the way, love how you seemed to write so much about my life in so much detail when I can count the three times we ever spoke on my hand."
"You should be thanking me. I always said Cotton was innocent. You have your family back," I roll my eyes in disbelief. Was she for real, I walked into her personal space until we were almost nose to nose.
"Let's get one thing straight, you only give a damn about yourself, you never cared about my father or reuniting us, that punch was my final warning to you. Next time I won't be so nice," I warn her before brushing past her hard.
After working a quick shift at the diner I started to get ready for Tatum's Pink Club party, not sure why she didn't just celebrate her new sorority but she just had to go all out. I put on a pink long-sleeve top paired with a red skirt with pink roses printed all over it. I knew I looked good but I knew Tatum would be a little irritated that I was not wearing the pink dress she gave me with fur on the bottom. I just couldn't do it.
A knock on the door makes my heart race as I rush to answer without looking through the peephole like I usually would. My smile lightly falters when I see that it's Roman at the door and not Stu.
"Expecting someone else?" he asks, confused looking over my outfit.
"No. I haven't seen Stu all day so I thought maybe he'd stop by but I guess not," I say trying not to sound bitter as I grab my purse. Roman throws an arm around me leading me out the door.
When we arrive at the club I try not to let the look of disgust for pink overcome me. Different shades of pink danced together in a crowd we shoved through. Roman grabs his hand so he doesn't lose me but it feels weird. As soon as we found our friends I pulled my hand from his.
"Amara you look amazing.. Not what I picked but I honestly expected this," she teases yet scolds at the same time.
I notice Sidney and Randy in the crowd dancing pretty sexually, I elbow Roman pointing to the scene, and he gives them a disgusted look before looking at me.
"I hate you," he mouths to me as I down my third shot. I deserve this alcohol.
"Come on," he grabs my hand pulling me into the middle of the dancefloor before I can tell him I don't feel like it. He turns me against his front, sliding his arm across my stomach. As he glides us to the music I start to feel lightheaded. It was fun until I imagined his hands were someone else's. My eyes fall closed when lips sensually slide down my neck while his hands slowly search my body. My head falls back against his shoulder when I feel another pair of lips trail my neck. God their hands on me I needed it no I craved it.
When I opened my eyes I instantly snapped back into reality when two familiar pairs of eyes watched us, I pushed Mickey back away from me and pulled myself from Roman. They look at me confused as if I led them on, maybe I did. Maybe I did want two pairs of hands on me just definitely not theirs.
"I need another drink," I say quickly, moving away from them and back to the table. Sidney stares at me as I down another shot.
"What?" I say impatiently
"Nothing just... That was kinda hot," she whispers, surprising me. I notice the glaze in her eyes and I quickly realize she's a bit tipsy.
"That was not supposed to happen," I defended looking back at the crowd. I see the boys found new girls to dance with and I sigh in relief. I shouldn't have let it get that far anyway.
"Is this about Billy and Stu?" she asks loudly over the music. "You love them both," she states in understanding," not letting me answer.
It's crazy after everything they've done. I should be able to move on and find someone else to love but you can't just stop loving someone you've loved for so long. It's not something I can turn off so no matter how many distractions I try to give myself I still feel something for both of them and when the time comes I don't think I could choose between them.
"I'm gonna go, Tell Tatum I'm sorry," I tell Sidney not waiting for an answer as I head for the exit. I knew I'd be too awkward to ride home with Roman after what just happened so I took the bus. I don't live far so I was happy when I was finally home and out of those terrible heels.
"I disappear for one day and you're sandwiched between Roman and Mickey," his voice startled me, making me hold my chest.
My chest felt lighter knowing he was okay. "Where have you been?!" I question my anger growing as I throw my heels at him. He laughs dodging the attack.
"Around," he answers, my eyebrow rising in annoyance. I didn't like that answer.
Before I can say anything else his lips are on mine, and his hand slides into my hair pulling my head back to deepen the kiss. The hand that was resting on my hip wrapped around my waist pulling me to him. Time seemed to stop as we melded together.
His lips trail my neck as he leads me backward into my room, pieces of clothing falling one by one. I'm practically panting when he lays me back on the bed admiring me naked. "Please let me make you come," he begs slowly, tracing his tongue over my stomach.
"Yes please," my voice comes out breathless and shaky. He groans in satisfaction before biting the inside of my thigh, I hiss in pain then release a moan when he licks over the bite mark.
He grips my thighs suddenly pulling me more to him. I release a long moan when he gives my clit a long slow lick. "Fuck you taste as good as he said," he says low more to himself than me, he grips my thighs harder sticking his long tongue inside me and sucking me like he's starved.
Breathless moans leave my lips as I grip his hair hard but he only groans in response pulling me closer and somehow going deeper. His tongue touches a spot that has me arching letting out a louder moan. I grip his shoulders, sinking my nails down. I could practically feel his smirk as he nudged that spot again and again until I'm cumming hard on his tongue. Breathless I had to yank his head back from overstimulation. He just smirks at me, licking his lips.
"You're so pretty when you come," he compliments, pulling my head back for a deep kiss, he's back on top of me kissing all over my body making me horny all over again.
"Shouldn't we talk about Billy," I whisper breathlessly before letting out a moan as he sucks a hickey into my chest. He looks up at me before a dark look crosses his features. I feel something long and hard against my thigh as he leans up against my ear.
"Why? Does that get you off? Having both of us?" he whispers before his tongue traces my ear sending a shiver down my spine. My mind flashes back to the club tonight when I imagined having them both. My back arches when Stu's fingers sink inside me.
"Just imagine me taking your throat while Billy takes you from behind," he edges, sinking his fingers deeper while rubbing on my clit. "I think you like that idea, You're so wet"
Before I can say anything he sinks inside of me with something way bigger than his fingers that has me gripping the sheets above me. I pant as he rubs my thighs keeping still so I can get used to his size.
A low moan leaves me when he finally slides out then back into his eyes watching my every reaction. I gasp when he licks at my neck starting with slow deep strokes that have my toes curling. My hands grip his back as he moves faster moaning in my ear. "You're squeezing me so tight princess,"
I could feel every muscle of his body against mine as he pulled out and back in stretching me so well I rocked against him, I whimpered at each breath now since he found that spot deep inside me that his tongue found easily and rocked into it.
My back arched as I fisted his back, my voice crying out as I clenched around him, my orgasm crashing into me like a wave, that seemed to push him over the edge a strangled groan left his lips as he suddenly pulled out of me his release spilling on my stomach. He collapses next to me, his heavy pants matching mine.
"God that was amazing, better than I imagined," he says out of breath tracing the bruises on my hip as I try to catch my breath.
"I'm sorry I'm still learning to control my strength," he tells me in a whisper. I nod in understanding, barely able to keep my eyes open. I groan as he cleans me up with a wet cloth before putting his shirt over me. We had so much to talk about but I decided it could wait until morning.
I feel him cuddle against me from behind his long nails massaging my scalp as I get comfortable against him falling into a peaceful sleep.
