View MoreI let out a moan as he bites my lips softly, a jolt of pleasure running through me. His right hand dances in between my thighs, his fingers delicately performing their beautiful magic trick, and I’m reaching cloud9, breathless.
Still, he wouldn't go all the way because I'm a virgin. Am I still a virgin if we've made out in all corners of my room? The only thing we haven't done is sex. “Fuck...” a low groan escapes my mouth when his lips traces it's way to my belly. My fingers instinctively grabs the pink sheets, and my other hand buries itself into his short brown curls. “Hayden, please, just do it already,” I managed to speak, my legs trembling from the pleasure. “You know we can't,” his voice comes out as a growl. I curse under my breath. He knows exactly how to make my body dance to his tunes and just exactly how to say no to me. As he climbs on top of me, a jolt of electricity runs through my entire body. When his lips meet mine in a passionate kiss, the world around me fades into nothing. “You're fucking delicious, though” he remarks, pulling away from me. He lies next to me, gazing into the ceiling. The only sound in the room is our laboured breaths. All I think of at the moment is how I got to this point. It all started a little over a month ago after Dean and I broke up. Dean was my boyfriend of seven months, until he was not. On our anniversary, I caught him sleeping with Maxine, that skank. I was unaware they'd been doing it all the while. Maybe it was because I didn't want to do it yet, and by "it" I think you know what. Coitus. Sex. Yes. That's literally what "it"means. Asshat. Hayden had just returned home from his studies abroad. A week later at one of Jake's parties, things kicked off between us. Hayden found Life in Saundersville, California boring, that's why he moved to study in Europe. He is the tall, athletic build guy every girl in the neighbourhood is begging to taste, and begging to have. You know, the usual bad boy with devilish, devastating handsomeness that draws women to him like a magnet. I, on the other hand, am the girl nobody ever notices except I do something stupid. You see, being Hayden's booty call is like a double edged-sword. On one hand, I had access to his inner world, and when we're outside, he acts like I don't exist. It doesn't get any better than that, does it? “Noone has got to find out about us,” he warned me several times. Basically, nobody knows we're making out. Not even my best friend, Jake, Hayden's younger brother, who seriously hates Hayden's guts. If Jake were to find out, gosh he'll freak out! He might even hate me too. I feel like I'm living a double life—one, where I'm the best friend to sweet Jake and the other, Hayden's bitch. So, back to Jake’s party. I had gone into Hayden's room to use the restroom because some horny ass teenagers were having a crazy makeout session in Jake's room. So Jake asked me to use Hayden's. After I used the restroom, when I got out, I met Hayden laying on his bed, half ass drunk. Our eyes locked for an instant, and my world seemed to freeze. For the first time, we had a normal conversation without him smashing a pillow into my face or knocking my head. The way he stared at me, though. There was something about it I couldn't quite understand. It made my eyes flutter. Butterflies filled my stomach and I almost gagged because of how nervous I felt. We played truth or dare, then he dared me to kiss him. Holy shit! To prove to him that I wasn't a kid anymore, but a super fine eighteen year old—a soon-to-be freshman at that, I fucking kissed him. It's been over a month and we've been doing it ever since then...in secret. My biggest, darkest secret—Hayden… my best friend's brother.☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆Pinch me.No. Slap me. I need to wake up. What the fuck did Agnes Culkin just say to me?“Wh–what?” I croaked.“I was in Jake's room. When I heard footsteps, I hid under his bed.”My blood ran cold, and I froze in disbelief. I searched for what lie to tell, what words to say, but even words eluded me at this point.I was on my own. What the hell do I say? “I’m certain it was you. I heard your voice and I heard Jake's. But before that, I saw someone else enter the room. He joined you in the bathroom.”Agnes wore that thoughtful expression of hers, eyes gazing into nothing, her index finger pinned to her jaw. The music faded, and I could hear her clearly now. Then she chuckled and nudged my arm lightly.“I may be wrong, though. It could’ve been any other guy, right?”I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding as relief washed over me. A nervous laugh escaped from my lips. I stared at her, nodding instinctively. “Yeah. You’re totally wrong.”“I mean, I am aware
☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆Jake, his younger brother who didn't like him at all. Aside from our childhood squabbles, Jake and Hayden didn't get along.I asked why. Just once. Jake went pale, like I’d dragged him into a memory he’d buried deep. His eyes had gone hollow that day like he was reliving a nightmare. He didn’t shout. He didn’t cry. Just that hollow look. Then he made me promise never to ask about it again. What a bummer, right? I shouldn't be bothered, but recently, it’s been bugging me.Whatever happened between them must have been really bad, I guessed. For Jake to want to erase it completely? it must have been extremely terrible. That’s not just pain.And for Jake to hate his brother this much? It must have cut deeper than a knife. And that's trauma.What will he do once I tell him I'm Hayden's… Hayden's what?I was certainly not Hayden's girlfriend and this wasn't a relationship. It's a situationship—one I couldn't seem to get away from no matter how hard I tried.It was as add
☆☆SUMMER’S POV☆☆(A week later)Jake’s house was packed. Kids from our high school spilled out onto the lawn, red cups in hand, music vibrating through the floorboards like a heartbeat.I wasn’t in the mood for it, but Jake said we needed this—his way of forcing me to forget that stupid pool scene after rejecting the 20 bucks I gave him.And since we were going to college, Jake said we needed to party. I saw Hayden before he saw me. Or maybe he did see me and just didn’t care. I learned his girlfriend’s name was Sophie. Jake said they met at the airport a week ago.Hayden stood by the kitchen island with his arm around her—blonde, tall, and obviously fake laughing at something he said. I never found Hayden funny.Then it happened.She slapped him.The smack echoed over the music, cutting the tension like a glass shattering. Everyone turned. Hayden said something, calm and low, and she stormed out with a dramatic hair flip.Hayden said something calm and low. She stormed out with a hai
☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆After the chaos of mistaken identities and heart-thumping awkwardness, Jake and I escaped to Crabby’s for lunch, hoping some greasy food and inside jokes would clear our minds from Hayden.Hayden Dylan! When we were in 7th grade and Hayden was in 11th, he was every girl’s dream. He used to pick up different girls in his car and would tell Jake and me to take the bus. There was a new girl every week. He was disgusting—hormones running wild.I hated him so much. I used to make fun of him through the years and ruin some of his makeout sessions. I couldn’t believe it was the same Hayden my heart was beginning to trip for.Gross!After eating, Jake and I went to our favourite arcade down the same street. That was where we met Maxine and Dean, kissing at a corner.“Well, well, if it isn't exes and hoes,” I said under my breath.Jake looked in their direction. “Ewww,” he muttered. “Get a fucking room,” he screamed out loud, calling their attention.They didn’t even flinch. M
☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆Jake called and when he heard me crying over the phone, he tracked my location and came to meet me where I was. At our spot in the woods, near the stream.The moment I saw him, I fell into his arms and let it all out. My heart was aching and so was my head at that point, but seeing my best friend eased the pain.Jake and I had been bestfriends since we were seven. Here in Saunterville, California, he was the only one I could trust with my life. My ride or die.We stayed outside and he listened to me whine and cry until I fell asleep. Once it started to get dark, he called his driver and drove me home.“Is she alright?” my dad asked, worried as he saw Jake carrying me on his back.“Not really, Mr. Peterson. Is it fine if I stay over tonight?”“Yes, son,” my dad answered, watching us till we were out of view.I was asleep, but I picked up on their conversation; however, I was too weak to respond. Jake put me to bed and stayed by my side.And just like that, my relations
☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆Today, I found my boyfriend fucking someone else.Summer Peterson. No. Just Summer….That's what Dean Polanski called me. He said there was nothing special about me, so he referred to me as “Just” Summer.I was a fool. I admit. But a fool in love. It was our anniversary today and I had picked up the most beautiful purple dress. Dean loved the colour, purple. We had been together for seven months. Seven months of…hell. Seven months of torture and bliss. It was a mixture of both.Aren't all relationships, though? I loved him. The thing is, I was a virgin and Dean wanted to get down SO, so bad.He told me he had this manly urge to penetrate something. As gross as that sounded to me, I pretended it was all right. Absolutely fucking not. It wasn't alright.“You're not special. You're just Summer,” he had told me when I let him know I didn't want to lose my virginity yet.But today, naive little me had planned to give up my honour, my girlhood, my….“Yes, Dean, yes,” a wo
