Aaaaah!
I looked towards the bathroom then at the open bathrobe that I was trying to cover and sighed. Had he known about it? This guy...he likes me, I have a boyfriend now...I am taken ha! ha!
Maybe I'd thought I wanted something else but this was way better. Looking at it, I'd gone through the seduction route because I had recalled Taffy talk about it. He was the type to say things that you'd want not to hear unless you were at your wits end.
I'd been hella nervous, wait, while doing that stunt, did I look like a little slut?
I rush to the wardrobes, looking from mine to his and wondering. Was it bad to wear your boyfriend's clothes.... boyfriend...aaaggh! My pitiful heart is leaving me just thinking about it. I hope he wasn't just pitying me with that.
I look through the shirts in the drawer and pick one I like...he'd known I was nude, when had I gotten that much courage to parade myself? He'd known about it yet kept his cool. Wasn't I tempting enough....but he was now my boyfriend. Was this a good or bad thing?
"Where did you run off to?"
Last night, Taffy had left early... today, he didn't seem okay.
"Taffy?"
"I made one wrong move."
Wrong move? What wrong move? Why wasn't he saying more?
We were in a design class, basically sketching out silhouettes and garments to familiarize ourselves. People were scattered all over the class in their own creative worlds.
"Taffy!"
"Don't worry about it. Someone just lied to me a little. I hope we never meet again."
"A boyfriend?"
"Something close but not similar."
"Who?"
"Let's not talk about it now. How was it with Riley last night?"
"He's my boyfriend now."
"That fast? Did you sleep with him?"
"No!"
He seemed to be relieved about that. Wasn't he the one talking about using that to trap and pressure him? Why did he change his stance now when I had nearly gotten into a mess last night? Before I could ask, his phone rang. He got it out, looked at the screen and was frowning which was getting me worried.
"Taffy?"
"I'll be back"
Yesterday, he'd said he was going to the bathroom. A few moments later, I got a text from him informing me that someone had offered him a ride back to school and not to worry. The first thing you do when someone says don't worry, is that you worry... a lot. So I spammed him with messages and calls before we got out but he just told me one thing...no, two
Stop it!
Wasn't it strange, he liked talking not texting and he'd talked big about wanting to shove me into Riley's arms. He'd bailed on that as well.
From morning, he hadn't looked okay. He'd come in late which wasn't the first but what about the limp and the discomfort he thought no one was seeing while he sat?
Had he gotten into a fight? I should have gone with him, who the hell beat him up to this extent when he knows how to defend himself?
I send a text to Riley...he should have a way to get CCTV footage from the bar we'd been at. It seems Taffy doesn't want me involved but that doesn't mean someone else shouldn't...in my stead.
He came back ten minutes later, looking angrier than when he'd gone out. Bloody h...do I also have to check on his phone and track down whoever that was?
"Take me to the gym."
"Now?"
"Yes!"
He raised a brow before nodding...
"Okay!"
Physical exercise might help elevate stress...or shopping. I just hope Riley gets everything before we leave that gym because I think I need someone to answer some questions though exercise could elevate my stress.
***********
-Where are you?
-In class.
-Come out!
-Riley, I'm attending a lesson right now.
-Should I come and get you by the ear then?
Three minutes later and someone was rushing to my car. So much for being in a lesson, this brat.
"What's wrong?"
I threw the tablet over, watching him look at it an trying to formulate something was getting on my nerves.
"Better not lie to me man."
I should have kept a tether on this guy...better yet, sent him home so as to avoid trouble but I had yielded, let him do his thing and now he's messed up.
"I know I was wrong, I hadn't thought we'd get that far. I tried talking to him..."
"Did you rape him?"
"No! It wasn't forced, okay? Leans more towards consensual stand."
"In a few words, you had sex with him. Where's the guy that said you didn't like him for his body? Who said you were going to take it slow, court him?"
There was a silence I don't like. The kind that says there's something I don't know about that I should before anything and I don't like that either...
"I like him, I really do. It's the reason I've been trying to reach him whole morning. I just called him some twenty minutes or so ago and he told me not to contact him ever again."
And he was saying it was consensual, or was he bad in bed?
"Want me to believe that shit from before?"
Course he seemed to be in a delusion.
"I approached him, okay! I talked to him, we'd met before so it wasn't that awkward. I told him you and I were friends and somehow shot my shot. In the heart of everything, I stole a kiss...it was a heat of the moment thing, he looked cute.
He didn't seem to mind the kiss. Next thing I know we're in a hotel room...when I woke up he was gone."
I sighed...this guy...
"Barnard..."
"I thought he was okay with it..."
"Hey..."
"I apologized, I even asked what I could do to make him feel better."
With how much he'd said he liked the boy, I thought this would be different. There was one thing I hadn't accounted for, and that was he was sex crazed. It was something we had thought about taking care of but he'd said he was okay...was this okay?
"Other than him, when was the last time you had sex? You said you had it under control."
"Three weeks ago. I really was keeping it under control, I hadn't realized..."
Well if he was telling the truth, it had backfired on the worst time ever. Another thing, I don't really know what truly happened. They had sat outside talking for a good while, only they know what they talked about. This was the first time he was looking at someone withing our circle which to me was strange.
Taffy hadn't told Blane, these two were friends. One mine, one Blane's. I don't know how Blane will react, mostly because he says my friend's are all people he doesn't really trust.
How do you calm your boyfriend and his friend... ones that could easily choose to beat someone up
