Tory’s POV
Rex carried me upstairs to his room and I just wrapped myself around his broad shoulders, taking in his pleasant scent. His hair, now curly from the shower, bobbed up and down his forehead as he raced upstairs.
Finally, he opened the door to his room and lay me on the bed, I didn’t even care to see how his room looked like because his beautiful blue eyes were now on me as he laid on my body for a minute. Then he got up and lay down on his back, both our faces facing the ceiling.
” Typical boys room ” I said now noticing the tossed clothes here and there, video gamepads, snacks on his table, overall it wasn’t all that messy.
When he didn’t reply I turned to face him and found him staring at me.
” So you brought me here to stare at me?” I asked and bit my lip – I really didn’t do it on purpose but I had a feeling that his smile meant that he thought I did it on purpose.
” I can’t resist you, Tory, it’s not my fault” he said with a smirk and I rolled my eyes and turned away from him and he laughed.
” I know you think I’m lying or something like that,” he said as he placed his hands on my hips and tried to make me face him.
” You know for a guy who just found out his girlfriend was cheating on him with his best friend, you seem in a good mood” I said, facing him and he cleared his throat and made a weird face before he said, ” That’s because I have you here with me”
I paused as I looked at him suspiciously. What was he playing at? Even though he gave off this goofy aura around him as he spoke, I still felt so turned on that I got embarrassed by it and decided to kill the mood because things were moving too fast on my end.
” Why’d you and Nate fight?” I said and he gritted his teeth in a way that made me feel like he was really pissed by my question. Damn it! Why did I even ask at this moment? When I said I want to kill the mood I didn’t mean like this!
” Can we not say that name please? I’m starting to feel nauseous. He said making a face and I laughed just to see if he would laugh too and when he smiled I felt a little bit relieved that there was hope for us tonight.
” Look, I am gonna be honest with you” he said sitting up on his bed and I swallowed hard. I usually get so anxious when people seem to want to be candid with me, I felt so nervous about Rex would have to say about why he and Nate fought. I had a feeling that it was because of Isabella but I honestly didn’t want him to tell me things about her – like at all.
” I do feel hurt about this whole thing and it’s only because Nate who I considered my friend would do something like that and not apologize for it. His ego is just annoying” Rex said, though his face was void of any signs of anger.
” So, you’re not hurt about Isabella?” I asked carefully and smiled sheepishly when he chuckled and stared at me without saying anything afterwards.
” Nah, I never sexually liked her. I did consider her my friend though, but I have been deceiving myself” he said, looking at my nails this time and I felt like he wasn’t being honest. I mean, I’ve seen the way he is with her and that only started to change when he … well… when he started speaking to me. Why didn’t he look me in the eye when he said he wasn’t hurt about Isabella? At least, I could’ve been able to detect that he was lying.
” Then why’d you date her If you didn’t like her that way” I asked, still pushed further then he sighed and rolled his eyes.
” Nate, kept talking about how perfect we are for each other, and I sorta started considering it and started getting attracted to her, but it was never serious.” He explained, this time looking me in the eye. He seemed like he was telling the truth but he if he was lying would I really know?
” So you let a girl you don’t have serious feelings for control you so much?” I blurted out and he looked genuinely worried that I was thinking about it so much.
” Tory, I did things Isabella wanted because I wanted to. Not because she made me to” he said as he cupped my cheeks and looked me in the eye but I shook my head in disbelief. ” Tory…” He said softly but I just couldn’t help myself.
” So why did you ignore me that day?” I asked as I tucked my hair behind my ears and waited for his response. This time I didn’t want to look him in the eye, I wasn’t sure that I would be able to handle the truth in his eyes.
” Tory, I’m sorry okay? I just didn’t want Isabella to bother you anymore. That’s all, the girl is too much drama and you know it. Honestly, I was considering breaking up with her right after, too bad Nate beat me to it with his horny ass” he said and I took in a deep breath and tried to eliminate the insecurity building up in my head.
” I’m sorry I called you a chicken” I said with a small smile and he laughed. ” I knew you were just angry, if I were in your shoes I would’ve said worse.”
” Really?”
” Uh-hun,” he said coming close to me.
” And why is that?”
” Because I wouldn’t like the person I’m crazy about to ignore me, not even for a second” he said and I froze.
” You know….”
He bowed his face briefly before looking at me, all smiles.
” Of course, and guess what?”
” What?” I asked a bit too nervously.
” You like me, but I’m fairly certain that I like you a lot more than you like me.”
” You’re kidding” I said backing him as I turned away from him. He chuckled before he planted a soft kiss on my neck and pulled me towards him, setting me on his body so I mounted him.
” I would never joke about something like that Tory” he said with so much emotion in his eyes.
” Oh…” I said, at loss for words.
” When I see you, it’s just like nothing else matters. It was always like that two years ago, it’s just a little stronger now”
” I see, so why’d you kiss me when you saw Nate and Isabella? As revenge?” I asked and he could see my anger.
” Don’t you get it, none of that matter. Not even Nate or Isabella matter, you’re the only one that matters to me.” he said cupping my face before he leaned closer and kissed me, his lips begging for me to part mine, I obliged and soon he was kissing me deeper, I tried my best to keep up but I couldn’t, so I pulled away.
” I’m sorry, ” he whispered.
” No, it’s fine. This was just umm..”
” …. intense,” he said as he held on to my waist.
” yeah, but I…. like intense,” I said with a smile before I kissed him and he laughed in my mouth before he lay me on my back, staring at me before he said, ” you’re so beautiful Tory… I know this is sudden but, will you be my girlfriend?”
My mind was blown away, he had just called me beautiful and also asked me to be his girlfriend! Of course, I want to be your girlfriend Rex, but… I won’t tell you that just yet – I said in my head as a smile formed on my face.
” I’ll think about it”
” I’m not a very patient person Tory,” he said with a smirk as he kissed me, I kissed him back and he let out a moan when I slid my hands through his hair, he seemed to like that a lot, so he did the same to me and damn it felt good!
He took off his shirt and my eyes instantly ogled his body, he was so muscular and firm around his arms and I reached out to touch his and, he stifled a groan before he looked at me, his eyes seething with desire.
I knew he wanted sex and I was a little flushed when he came closer to me, kissing me as his hands found my bra and he took it off. I could feel him harden against me, he suddenly brought out condoms from under his pillow and grinned mischievously when I stared wide-eyed at him.
I closed my eyes as he seemed to take off his boxer short and he chuckled.
” You’re adorable,” he said as he took off my panties.
” Shut up,” I said in a whisper and a moan escaped me when I felt him inside me, he removed my hands from my eyes, looking me in the eye as I bit my lips in pleasure. He took off my gown, so he could see the whole of me and I straddled him, we moaned in pleasure as he thrust into me, slowly, taking care not to be too rough.
I never thought that in three weeks, I’ll get my dream guy and even end up in his bed, making love.
Sex with Rex was everything I imagined and more, there’s absolutely nothing that could come between us, I know it.
********
I got home the next morning as early as 6 am, Rex wanted to drive me but I declined, poor Mr. Joe had waited till the next morning and I couldn’t just leave him like that.
I felt so guilty seeing him lying there, I couldn’t believe I had forgotten about him.
He dropped me and I apologized to him but he just smiled, as usual, I could never tell if he was angry or not. Getting inside the house and going upstairs, I heard Tia vomiting and decided to check up on her after dropping my bag in my room.
” Tia, can I come in?”
She said nothing, I was about to knock when she opened the door, looking to the left and right before she pulled me inside her room.
” Hey!”
” Shhhh!!” She said, her face looked swollen kind of and she seemed…. scared.
” What is it?” I asked cautiously and she frowned before she let out a breath she must’ve been holding for a while before she said, ” First, promise you won’t say anything”
” I promise,” I said as I held her hands, suddenly influenced by her fear.
” I’m…. pregnant” she said and I almost laughed but quickly stopped myself and pretended to be coughing. I watched her to see if she was joking but all I could see when I looked at her was a very frightened nineteen year old.
” Oh my God” I said when I realized that things were starting to get real at my house.
