Chereads / James Taylor's Love / Chapter 39 - The Next Day cont'd

Chapter 39 - The Next Day cont'd

(Last Night)

I had just surprised Taylor with a kiss. We kissed for a while taking short breaks in-between.

We kissed all the way unto the bed before stopping

I laid on his chest staring into his eyes both of us catching our breaths

"I want you" I seductively whispered but he didn't say anything.

Before I knew it his hands were already at the hem of my shirt taking it off me

He stared long and hard at my breasts before pushing his face into them

I couldn't stop the moan from escaping my mouth as he sucked and bit. Not one to be outdone I started kissing his neck

Before long we flipped over he ran his left arm down my stomach moving down while his right hand gripped my breast

My hands weren't idle either they found their way to his belt buckle and started to open it.

Finding it difficult to get them off I flipped him over so I was on top before pulling down the zipper and pushing my hand in his boxers

"More" I whispered before he gripped my ass causing me to moan again as he pushed me against the wall and continued kissing my neck

I moaned loudly as his pants fell to the ground. He turned his attention back to my lips

The make-out session lasted for a while before we made it back to the bed

We paused for a minute and just stared into each other's eyes not saying anything then suddenly he threw me off him and ran to an open window.

(Back to Present)

"Hahahaha. He actually threw up" Libby laughed hysterically

"It's not that funny"

"No it's hilarious" she laughed

"Come on Libbs"

"Alright alright. I promised I wouldn't say I told you so"

"Good" I sighed

"So what did I tell you."

"Oh god damn it"

"I fricken called it. You two couldn't even make it past a month"

"Yeah yeah. I know you told me alright. Now tell me what I'm supposed to do now"

"Isn't that obvious? Leave"

"What?" I said shocked

"Girl do you really think you can live together with him now that happened."

"Yeah I don't see the problem"

"What are you gonna do the next time you see him shirtless, or accidentally bump into him while he's going to use the bathroom in the middle of the night or getting a snack"

"Why would that remind me?"

"In nothing but his underwear", she added

"Oh"

"What are you gonna do then?"

"I doubt anything like that would happen"

"Sophie, you've walked in on him in a towel before. What makes all of that less likely to happen"

"That was an accident. And I can't leave I don't have anywhere else to go. Unless you're offering to let me stay in your room again"

"Don't think my dad would like that"

"See"

"Well, girl you only have two choices. Either you leave or convince James to leave Betty-Ann"

"What? Why the hell would I do that?"

"So you don't have to see them together. Do you think you could bare to see him kiss her? Wouldn't you just hate being in your room wondering if he's doing all the things to her that he did to you? Could you really bare the thought of them being together?"

"Libby it was just a one-night stand. And it doesn't even qualify to be that"

"If you really thought so. You wouldn't be stressing about this"

"It's fine Libbs. And I'm pretty sure I don't have to worry about them being a couple"

"Oooo what happened?" She asked interested

"Can't say but they're probably breaking up right now"

"Well that relationship was short-lived," Libby said

"Back to our conversation. I don't think anything will be strange because Taylor doesn't even remember. So I'll give pretend that I don't remember anything either"

"Okay girl. How long do you wanna bet it's gonna be before this happens again?"

(James)

"So you saw...." I asked after five minutes of staring at each other in the corner of a cafe

"You and Sophie getting it on. Yeah I did"

"Betty-Ann, we were drunk and nothing happened"

"I know."

"Just how much did you see?"

"You threw up," she said

"Really?" I groaned

That was embarrassing. Oh thank God Sophie doesn't remember that

"I want to break up," she said reminding me of my current situation

"Come on, we can't seriously be breaking up because of one stupid drunken mistake"

"That wasn't a mistake James. That's the inevitable"

"And how do you know that?"

"I saw it last night. The love between you two"

"What love? There is no love" I groaned

"James you can't possibly believe that"

"Fine but isn't there love between us too?"

"Think about it, James. What do we have in common besides sex? Our entire relationship is based on sex. We don't have a single memory of us just being together. No matter where we went. It always ended up in just having sex. I don't think we could go a week without touching each other"

"So what's the big deal?"

"That's not love. That's lust"

"Come on I don't buy it. I know there's more to our relationship than just sex. In fact, I can prove it"

"How?"

"We won't have sex for an entire week"

"What?"

"Just hear me out. If the two of us can go a week without having sex with each other. It would prove our relationship doesn't just revolve around our sex life"

"You serious about this"

"Yeah. No sex for a week"

"Alright fine. I'll pack my things and stay at Beth's for the week"

"No, it would be pointless then. We're gonna continue our lives like normal but just no sex"

"I don't know James"

"Come on Betty-Ann. Let's just try it"

"Fine."

"Good so we can go home" I smiled.

"Fine" she nodded

We both went home and saw everyone cleaning.

We only said hey before heading to my room

We sat there not saying anything to each other for a long while

"Um I think they're done cleaning"

"That's good," she said before we returned to the silence

"This is awkward" I smiled

"I know right? At this point, most couples would be having make-up sex but-"

"You know Betty-Ann, the week doesn't actually start until tomorrow"

"So this technically wouldn't be against the deal" she added

"Makes sense to me," I said

"So quick make-up sex?"

"I'll get the condoms," I said before we kissed each other

(Trudy)

Having just woken up I got off my bed and stretched my arms with a yawn

I had slept peacefully the previous night which hadn't happened since this mess started.

With a bright smile on my face, I went into the kitchen to put on a pot of coffee and then to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After that, I went out to the porch sat down in my robe, and took a breath of fresh air with a cup of coffee

I stayed there for a while before I noticed Tasha out for her morning jog

"Oh good morning Trudy" she called out to me. I simply rolled my eyes

"Good morning Tasha," I said not trying to ruin my mood

"Trudy I'd like to thank you for last night" she smiled

"Last night?"

"Huh uh, it wasn't for you I wouldn't realize just how much Hugh loves me"

"Glad to be of service," I said gritting my teeth before Hugh came out in sweats. That's something I thought I'd never see him in. Hugh had never been the athletic type so he didn't work out much

"Oh Trudy," he said

"Good morning Hugh"

"Morning," he said

"Well Trudy, we have to run and as for your invitation from last night we'd love to come to your Thanksgiving dinner"

"Wait are you serious?" Hugh giddily asked

"Of course" she smiled sweetly at him

"Alright I'll leave two seats for you two," I said before getting up and going inside.

My mood was broken but I was still slightly happy because if those two come that means James must also come. So I had to get everything ready for now and the first thing that came to mind was his room so I rushed up the stairs and put my hands on the handle and they started shaking

"Come on Trudy, you have to do this. All you have to do is open the door. It's not that hard. Just turn and pull. Take a deep breath then turn and pull" I said encouraging myself before taking a deep breath my hands shaking as I turned the handle

The clicking sound of the door opening rang in my ears causing my heart to beat faster as I pulled open the door.

I walked into the empty room and immediately memories of my son hit me.

I started crying as I sat in the middle of the dust-filled room looking at his now empty closet and then his unslept bed and I could almost see the memory of me tucking him in or reprimanding him for putting his escape slide in his closet

I couldn't stop the sad smile from appearing on my face

(Aiden)

I had stayed in Rose's dorm room for another hour after their dorm mother left and I was currently writing a song

"Hey, don't you think it's time you head home?" Rebecca asked me

"Yeah. I think Jake might be thinking of calling the cops right now" I said sitting up

"Hey Rose," I said stopping her from her project

"What? You leaving?"

"Yeah Jake's probably worried," I said

"Okay last night was fun"

"Maybe we could do it again sometime," I asked

"Sure, give me your phone," she said

"What are you doing?" I asked handing her the phone

"Giving you my number," she said handing it back to me.

"Okay"

"Send me a text so I can save your number," she said taking out her phone.

It was the latest years iPhone with a pink phone cover with a red rose on it

*Sup* ✔️✔️

*Rose- Hey handsome*

"Okay got it," I said before she smiled

"What did you save me as by the way?"

"Rockstar. You like it?"

"Sure it's cool," I said

"Alright. Hurry on home. Wouldn't want Daddy to ground you for being tardy."

"You didn't seem so concerned last night" I smirked at her and she smiled seductively

"Last night was great. But you shouldn't be too proud of yourself. I've had better"

"That a challenge?"

"Anytime you're ready but aren't you afraid Daddy will spank you," she said

"Aren't you worried I'd spank you?" I asked

"Isn't that child molestation? I could go to jail" she said with a fake gasp

"I'm anything but a child," he said

"Aren't you heading home?" Her roommate cut it

"Oh yeah. See you for a rematch Rose"

"Can't have a rematch for something that isn't over" Rose said

"What are you talking about I clearly won last night"

"Not even close. It was a tie"

"You were clearly wasted before me"

"No, we got drunk at the same time"

"Fine next time we'll have a judge," I said before we looked at her roommate

"You back to work. And you, get home" she commanded before we sighed

"See you Rose" I smiled. leaving

I went straight home on an Uber.

When I was about to get off I spotted Ellen carrying a garbage bag out to the bin.

Fearing she'd spot me I ducked back into the car

"Yo something wrong man?" The driver asked

"Hey, could you drop me around back?"

"Dude I have another person to pick up"

"I'll pay you double. Just drive round back" I said paying him after he dropped me off

"Thanks, dude," I said getting out of the car on my way to the back door.

But just as I opened the door I shut it

"Are you kidding me?!" I mentally freaked

Why the hell was Jake heading towards the back entrance?

Not having time to think about that I ran down the alley slipping and falling into something

"What the hell was that?" I asked laying in what looked and smelled like a pool of vomit

"God damnit," I said biting my tongue so as not to scream out and draw Jake's attention

Jumping up I ran to the front. Now that Ellen wasn't there I went inside and ran to the elevator

"Safe" I sighed closing my door

"Where the hell are you coming from?" Britney asked sitting on the couch

"Britney," I said nervously as she made her way over to me

"Do you have any idea what we're been doing all morning?" She glared stopping in front of me

"I'm sure Jake must have kept you all really busy and I can explain why I wasn't here," I said turning my head in an attempt to dodge her gaze

"What's that smell?" She asked before an idea hit

"It's me. Totally me. Ew gross right? I need a shower. I'll just go do that right now" I rushed to the showers

(Sophie)

After breakfast with Libby, I went to the park and walked around before deciding it was about time I head home

"Wow, the guys did great. The place looks great" I said walking into the spotless house before going into the kitchen where I saw a shirtless Taylor digging through the fridge

Because he was behind the counter I could only see his top half save for his head that was buried in the fridge

Smiling I walked behind him and tapped him on his shoulder making him jump and hit his head

"Owe," he said

"I'm so sorry Taylor. I didn't think you'd jump like that" I chuckled as he turned towards me.

That's when I got a good look at him. He wasn't dressed at all.

He had just finished taking a shower so his hair was still dripping and he was in a towel.

"Sophie, when did you get back?"

"I...I just got...in" I said looking at his still wet chest

"Sophie, you okay?" He asked noticing I was dazed

"You're not dressed," I said unable to stop looking at the water droplet going down his abs

"Oh yeah. I actually just got out of the shower and I didn't think anyone else was here so I came for some water" he explained or something like that

I wasn't too sure because I was lost in thought. My focus, for now, was only on his wet chest

"Sophie, you okay?" He asked again

"I'm fine," I said raising my arm

We were so close to each other that I couldn't stop myself as I reached out and grabbed his chest

"Sophie," he said startled before I looked up at his eyes. They seemed to be drawing me in inviting me to reenact last night's mishap but as I was about to indulge my selfish desire someone cleared their throat
