me.
I’d ignored them all, but now as I held myself above her, I could see the familiar gleam in her eyes that told me maybe this was starting to mean more to her than it did to me.
It made me pause. The last thing I wanted was to lead someone on. Especially someone like Kelly who was a friend.
Her hands pulled at me though, and I gave in, pushing any concerns to the back of my mind. Sinking into her slowly, I lowered my upper body over her as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
“I need you, baby,” she said. “Only you make me feel this good.”
Shit. What was I getting myself into?
Shaking my head, I started to move, fast and hard, just how she liked. It didn’t take long until I felt her spasm around me. I came shortly after, rolling to the side.
Kelly snuggled up against me as I stared at the ceiling. That was...unfulfilling. Fuck. Usually a good romp with someone was enough to get some pent up energy out, but now I just felt emptier than before.
Kelly propped herself up, looking down at me. “Grey? I want to talk to you about something.”
Her fingers were stroking up and down my chest and it was starting to annoy me.
I shifted, hooking my arm under my head. “Yeah? What about?”
“I was wondering if maybe you’d like to be exclusive? With each other?” She said with a nervous smile.
My eyebrows shot up. “What, like boyfriend and girlfriend?”
“Well, I don’t know. Maybe down the road, yeah.” She sat up now, straightening her hair. “I know you’re not one for relationships, but I just thought, we have fun together so why not? We can start with just seeing each other and go from there.”
I looked away from her, searching for an answer. This was awkward, and not at all where I pictured the night going.
“Just think about it,” she said. “We could be really good together. We get along great and the sex is amazing.”
“I don’t know, Kelly,” I said, rubbing a hand down my face.
“Can’t you just think about it?” She pleaded.
“I’m not into drama,” I said.
She instantly held up both hands. “There won’t be. I’ll prove it to you, we’ll be great together.”
I supposed out of all the girls I saw regularly, Kelly was the coolest. It’s why I went back to her so often. But considering how empty I felt after sleeping with her tonight, I wasn’t sure getting into a relationship with her was the best idea.
Then again, maybe it was time I found someone to settle down with. Coming home to an empty apartment every night was getting old. And a lot of my friends were starting to settle down.
The idea of doing that with Kelly though didn’t necessarily feel right . Maybe I was just being stubborn and stuck in my ways. Shit, I didn’t know what I was doing when it came to this stuff. I told her I’d think about, which got me a squeal and a second climax that was just as unfulfilling as the first one. I ushered her out soon after. It’s not like I was going to change overnight.
Chapter 5
Honor
This was it.
My very first apartment away from home. No Mom, no Auntie Grace, no Perrie.
Just me.
I took a deep breath in and frowned. The place smelled old and musty. It was time to set to work. Setting up my iPod dock and speakers first was imperative. As soon as that was done, I cranked the music and started cleaning.
Having my own space was more amazing than I imagined. Yes, the place was small and needed a little love. But it was my place. I was stuck inside on a weekend cleaning and organizing like a mad woman. But I was cleaning my space.
There was something about that fact that made it actually enjoyable. I danced around and sang at the top of my lungs, and no one was there to tell me to shut up. What could be better than that?
By the time dinner time came around, I was starving and almost done. I needed to start in with my bedroom, but at least the sitting area and kitchen were done. I stood back with my hands on my hips and smiled.
Not too shabby,
