Chereads / James Taylor's Love / Chapter 54 - Not So Happy Thanksgiving Part 4

Chapter 54 - Not So Happy Thanksgiving Part 4

(Sophie)

I had just gotten out of Taylor's car and walked up to that woman's house. I sighed before pressing the doorbell

I waited a couple minutes before the door opened and she came to greet me

"Sophia darling" she smiled

"What do want to tell me? Make it quick, I have dinner to make" I said

"So you make the dinners? Well if James's cooking is anything like Hugh's I guess that's a given"

"You're wasting my time" I said

"Indeed you're right. I, myself, am quite busy" she said

"Come in, I'll get some coffee" she said turning a walking in

"I don't want to" I said

"Sophia, this isn't something we should be discussing in the open" she said before I sighed walking in

We walked into the living room to see the sight of Mr. Taylor playing horse with a laughing Wendy

"Faster! Faster!" She joyously screamed causing Mr. Taylor to move faster.

My mother stood there watching them play with a small smile on your face. This is a smile I hadn't seen in a long time. She continued blissfully watching them until they flopped down on the couch

"Done" Mr. Taylor said

"Come on more" Wendy said

"I think that's enough" Mother said

"Just one more time....please" she pouted cutely

"Fine" Mr. Taylor gave in after looking at her cute face. It seemed neither him nor his son could resist her devilishly cute pout

Mr. Taylor laughed exhausted and then surprising my mother started laughing at the exhausted Hugh

"Alright that's enough you two" she said after awhile finally giving Mr. Taylor a break.

She was laughing, it had been years since I've last seen her laugh.

"We should go in the kitchen or your room. It'd be much quieter there" she said after calming down

"The kitchen's fine" I said before we went to the kitchen

"Would you like some coffee or water?"

"I already told you no. Just get to the reason I'm here, quickly"

"That's too bad. I actually just got some exotic coffee beans and I just know you'd love them"

"Can we just talk about Wendy now?"

"Okay fine. I want you to keep her for awhile more"

"What?"

"Our business out of town is not quite over yet so Hugh and I are heading back out after Thanksgiving"

"And so why aren't you bringing her to her mother? Aunt Susan must be getting really worried" I said before I noticed something on her hand

"That's exactly why I wanted to speak with you. Susan is-"

"What's that?" I asked pointing at her ring

"It's an engagement ring"

"I know, why do you have it on?"

"Hugh and I are getting married"

"What!!"

"Yes. It's after his divorce though and we're not planning on doing it in town. We're having trouble finding a place we both agree on as well as the theme. I'll be damned if we're having a bird theme wedding. That would be over my dead body"

"I'm leaving" I said standing up angrily picking up my bag. A self-centered person like herself would never understand but every word she spoke just made me violently angry so I had to leave

"Sophia, I haven't told you the important part yet" she said

"I'm not watching Wendy so you can plan your immoral wedding with your ex-best friend's husband." I said angrily

"There's no other choice"

"Send her to her mother"

"Sophie Susan's-"

"I don't care. Just leave me out of it" I said before storming out

(Aiden)

"I can't believe Jake. Grounded? Again? What did I do that's so wrong huh? Two months. That's insane. Thanksgiving, Christmas. No way how can I enter the new year under house arrest. That's crazy!" I yelled pacing back and forth as I complained

"Can you shut up some of us are trying to work here?" Ro yelled from the kitchen

"Sorry Ro" I said walking into the kitchen to see him and Jen around the dining room table

"It's just I'm so upset. Why did I need to get punished I did nothing wrong?"

"Pretty sure sneaking a girl in here every night for a week counts as something wrong"

"I wouldn't have been caught if it wasn't for Britney"

"You also wouldn't have been caught if you had let her leave when she was going to"

"That's not the point. She sold me out because of some stupid dress"

"Which she spent a lot of money on and decided to lend to you as a favor and then you tore it to shreds"

"Seriously Ro who's side are you on"

"Honestly? Not yours" he said looking up from his book for just a second

"Come on man. Oh whatever. What are you doing?"

"Chem homework. It's due on Monday. So we have to turn it in by tomorrow or Sunday to get full marks"

"Isn't that a bit extreme?" I asked

"Turning in works a day before due date is kinda odd" Jen said

"Interesting question. What if she gave you an assignment due the same day. Are you supposed to give it to her yesterday to get full marks or does everyone get marked down"

"An assignment that's due the same day is just classwork. Don't try to be smart" Ro shrugged

"Oh whatever. Wanna catch a movie with me tonight? I heard there's this awesome new movie on Netflix"

"What Rose isn't coming over?"

"No she has some frat party to go to"

"Really and you aren't worried?"

"Worried? Why would I be worried?"

"She's at college party. Those are famous hookup spots"

"Hookups" I said and that's when it hit me.

"I hadn't thought about it but she might actually sleep with someone else tonight" I accidentally said it loud

"And that doesn't bother you?"

"Bother me?" I questioned myself

Does it bother me? I mean I do like sleeping with her. She's different from the others. I don't know maybe it's how brutally honest she is with her desires or just how beautiful she is. No it's not just looks. Her personality is unique

"Does it?"

"Huh?" I said snapping me out of my thoughts

"Does it bother you?" He asked again

"If I'm being honest it kinda does. But I don't think I have the right to stop her or anything. So what's the point of letting it bothering me"

"Wow when did you get so mature?" Ro asked

"Come on I'm full of surprises" I said

"So you want to watch the movie or not?"

"I can't" he said

"Why not?"

"I have a ton of homework to do"

"You know what dude. We need to get you a girlfriend" I said before Jen looked up

I noticed and smirked

"Someone smart, good looking, great dancer and great singer." I teased noticing Jen eyes staring at Ro

"Stop the foolishness. Don't you have homework or something to do?"

"Nope, my teachers are actually cool" I shrugged before suddenly Britney walked in

"Hey Jen, have you seen my pink custom Louis Vuitton handbag?" She asked walking into the kitchen

"No I haven't" she said

"I think Jake picked it up. I think it's in his closet" Ro said

"Thanks Roman" she said

"And where are you going?" I asked

"Not that it's any of your business but I'm going on a date with Carlton" she said

"Seriously another date. It's been what a week? And you're already on the second date. Don't you think you're moving a bit fast?"

"Fast? No I'm moving quite slow. Unlike a certain someone who slept with someone they just met. I just hope you use protection wouldn't want you catching anything"

"Rose doesn't have anything"

"And how are you so sure. From what I hear I wouldn't be surprised if she had one or two"

"You shouldn't judge someone like that" I said

"Why? Do you have a problem with it?"

"I'm guessing you'll be coming home late tonight" Ro changed the topic

"Yeah if Jake comes back I hope you can cover for me"

"And what are you planning to do to be so late?" I asked

"I don't see how that's any of your concern." She glared at me before turning and walking away

"But when it comes to Britney all that maturity seems to vanish into thin air" Ro sighed before I turned my glare to him

(Rose)

"Hey Becca I'm leaving" I said as I walked into the living room

"Okay are you sure you can carry all those pies?" she asked

"Of course it's not like I'm carrying them in my hands" I said checking her car keys

"Okay. Remember to tell them about Trudy's"

"Yeah I know" I said

"Okay have fun"

"You know I will. Don't wait up" I said winking

"Are you really planning on sleeping with someone tonight?"

"Planning? No. Hoping for a hot guy? Yes!"

"What about Aiden?"

"What about him? It's just fun, you should stop reading so much into it" I said

"Okay why so defensive?"

"Defensive? Me? I'm not" I said

"Yeah sure" she said condescendingly

"Whatever I have to go" I said before leaving.

I grumbled upset as I drove to the frat house. I stopped at the door and took a deep breath before putting a smile on my face and pushing the door open

"What's up bitches?! You missed me?!" I yelled

"Rose!!" everyone screamed excited before three of my friends ran up to me

"Rosy!!" Amanda said

"Amanda" I smiled

"You have no idea how much I've missed you!" she said

"These parties just haven't been the same without you" Liz said

"Our wild Rose is back finally" Adam said

"Did you guys miss me that much?" I asked

"You have no idea" Amanda said

"Now spill the beans" Liz said

"About what?" I asked

"Rumor around campus is that you got a boyfriend"

"So is it true Rosy?" Amanda asked

Before I had a chance to say something Adam suddenly started speaking

"Of course it's not, you guys know Rose she's way too busy to date anyone. Plus we all know the only thing she loves is sex" Adam said

"I guess you're right" Amanda said

"We should have guessed it wasn't true" Liz said

"But seriously Rose you're amazing. You take those really advances classes and still find time to enjoy college. You're like a superhero" Amanda said

"So what's my superpower?" I forced a joke

"You're super good in bed" Adam said

"How would you know?" I joked

"You're right I take it back" he said

"You know if you play your cards right. You might find out just how good I am" she said

"I don't think I'd be able to handle all that" he said

"You can always try. Who knows I might enjoy it" I said

"Oh come on, Rose stop teasing the poor child" Liz said

"Alright alright" I said leaving the blushing Adam alone

"Anyways we have someone to show you" Amanda said dragging me by my hand. She pulled me over a crowded table filled with red cups

"Who are you introducing me too?" I asked before Amanda let me go and pointed over to a guy that I've never seen before downing a shot

"That is Adrian Smoke. The hot piece of ass that transferred in recently." Liz explained

"And who is the broad latching unto him as if he's the cure to cancer?" I asked

"That would be his so called friend Andrea" Liz said

"Yeah, but it's tots obvious that she wants him" Amanda said

"Apparently she doesn't let any girl close to him. And she's almost always be his side which is a shame because she's totally my type"

"Is that so?" I said walking over to the table

"And what are you going to do?" Liz asked making me turn back to them slightly

"I'm just going to introduce myself" I smirked walking to the table

"Mind if I join?" I asked looking directly at him

"Be my guest" he said as the girl glared at me

"So what are we playing?"

"Beer-pong you know how to play right?" he asked me

"I think I can figure it out" I said mischievously

"Alright take up a paddle" he said as I took up the paddle

"Ladies first" he said tossing me the ball

"If you insist" I said before getting serious. I spun the paddle in my hand before stretching my neck and then bang. I sent the ball into one of his cup leaving him speechless

"Lucky shot" I winked at him before he smiled picking his jaw up from off the floor and then downed the beer

"Your turn" I said

"Hn" he said before hitting the ball. I immediately sent it into another of his cups

"Twice in row. My luck's so good today" I said

"Drink up now" I said before he drank the beer.

This continued for five more rounds

"Seven times in a row. Today must be my lucky day" I said before he downed the beer

"Okay I think we've played enough beer-pong" the girl said glaring at me

"I agree, I don't think your friend can take it. How about a different game?" I said

"Different game?" he asked curious

"Have you ever. With shots of course" I suggested before he smiled

"Adrian, don't you think we've played enough games for tonight?" she asked

"The night's still young" I reminded

"I want a drink" she said

"There's beer over there" he said before moving a bit closer to me

"Now that that's settled. Let's go play" I said before we moved to another table filled with shots and the crowd followed us.

After setting everything up everyone sat around in circle and the game started

"Gentlemen first" I said

"It's only fair" he said

"Have you ever....had a threesome?" he asked before I smiled and took up a shot along with some other people including Adrian who quickly downed the shot

I simply watched everyone drink before getting their attention

I looked at my full shot glass and tilted it a bit causing a line of alcohol to slide down. I kept my eyes on Adrian as I licked it off the glass straight up to the rim then I circled my tongue around the rim before downing the shot and licking the bottom before slamming it upside down on table

"Next question" I said seductively wiping the remains from my lips

"Have you ever slept with a friend's boyfriend?" someone asked and I along with four other people down a shot

"Slept with a teacher?" someone else asked and again I drank

"Had sex in a janitors closet?" someone said and again I drink

"You sure do get around" Andrea chuckled

"Didn't expect you'd be so loose" she said emphasizing the word loose

"I consider it experienced" I responded confidently

"Like a porn star" she faked a gasp

"Why not? I have the body and stamina of one. I bet I could make a lot" I shrugged pissing her off

"Whatever it's my turn" she said irritated

"Have you ever....been in love?" she asked looking at Adrian

Everyone took up a shot and drunk. Almost everyone. I could only look at the shot on the table and then someone crossed my mind.

What was I thinking? I didn't even like him. Much less love. It's only been two weeks. I would have been damned if all it takes is two weeks for me to fall some high school boy.

"Why didn't you take a shot?" she asked me.

Once again before I could answer my friends answered for me

"Rose doesn't do love" Liz said

"She's all about fun" Amanda said

"No one managed to capture our little wild Rose just yet" Adam said

"Or ever. Remember what we use to say. Physically she's a nympho but emotionally she's asexual" Liz added

"So she's incapable of real love" Andrea said releasing a sigh of relief

What they were saying wasn't wrong but it caused a pain in my chest

"I think I've played enough" I said before heading to the bathroom. As I was about to enter someone grabbed my hand

"Hey wait up" he said

I turned around and saw Adrian holding unto my hand

"Do you want something?" I asked looking his hand making him aware that he was touching me

"Sorry about that. It's just I was calling you but you weren't listening" he said letting me go

"So you grabbed me?"

"Um...." he said

"Do you want something?" I sighed

"Not really, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Adrian Smoke"

"I'm Ros-"

"Rosalia Martinez I know" he said

"How?"

"We're in the same engineering class. You just didn't notice me"

"I find it hard to believe I wouldn't notice a guy as hot as you" I said

"I've been in your class for three days but you never seemed to notice. I actually heard you liked parties so I came to this. I'm honestly not a big party fan myself I hope you don't think I'm a stalker or anything" he said before I kissed him. I could tell he was surprised but he soon started kissing back. He pushed me against the bathroom door and I opened it never once separating out lips. We walked in and he kicked the door shut and pushed him again the door before we paused for some air and he bolt the door and then we kissed again.

He was a great kisser but why was it that my mind was stuck on Aiden. Was it because of the alcohol that seemed to bring me back to the first time we met? He soon started to take off my top and I started undressing him still not breaking away from the kiss but that just reminded me of Aiden and I ripping the clothes off each other. He stopped kissing for a minute and lifted me up and started kissing my neck causing me to moan before I licked him but that only served to remind me of licking the chocolate off Aiden.

Damn it! Damn it! WHY! Why couldn't I stop thinking about him

"Stop. Stop. Stop" I said pushing him off me

"Why? Did I do something wrong?" he asked putting me down

"No, I'm just confused right now" I said picking up my clothes and running away.

I ran straight to my car Adam must have seen me because he followed me out

"Hey Rose what's wrong? Why are you taking off so suddenly" he asked

"I just remembered I have an assignment to finished" I said opening the door

"Okay but quick question why does your car smell like pies?" he asked

"Oh yeah, my roommate baked some pies from her workplace"

"These smell great" he said

"You guys can have them but can you hurry I have to go" I said before he called more people and took the pies.

After they were finished I found myself driving off campus. I drove straight to the Midnight Hotel and went straight up to the top floor and pressed the doorbell. The brother in blue opened the door

"Rose I thought you had a party tonight" Roman said

"Is Aiden's here?" I asked

"Yeah, Jake's not coming home tonight either" Roman said moving aside

"Thanks" I said walking in and up to his room

I knocked and waited

"Hey Roman you change your mind about the movie?" he asked opening the door

"Rose" he said surprised

"Hey" I said

"What about the party?" he asked before getting a good look at me. He noticed my messy hair and lipstick, my untidied clothing and the hickey on my neck. I noticed him clench his fist and biting his lips

I just stood there before kissing him. After a couple minutes we both calmed down and broke apart

"What's that for?" he asked

"How dare you? How could you? Two weeks? I've only known you for two weeks? How could I change so much in just two weeks?" I cried hitting his chest. This was the first time I felt something like this

He didn't say anything but I knew he was confused as he wrapped his arms around me

"How could you?" I kept repeating in his arms

(Carl)

"Wow that movie was great" I said as we stopped in front of my door

"Are you sure you don't want to head home yet?" I asked Britney as she held unto my arm

"No I'm fine, Jake's not coming home tonight" she said

"Okay my dad's not home either"

"Oh really" she smiled

"Anyways good night" I said

"Are you really just gonna send me home like that?"

"Um you're right. Let me drop you off. That was stupid of me" I said

"If I wanted you to drop me off what would be the point of me following you home?" she asked sarcastically

"Then what do you want me to do?" I asked confused

"You can start by inviting me in?"

"Okay, please come in" I said opening the door

"Would you like something to drink?" I asked

"A glass of water with ice" she said

"I'll be right back" I said before walking into the kitchen. I took out the ice cubes and put them in a cup before filling it with water before going back out.

The sight in front of me made my jaw dropped. Britney was in front of me in nothing but her pink Victoria Secret lingerie and her clothes were on the floor

"Wow. You look.....wow" I said unable to say anything else as she smirked before walking over to me and taking the glass from me before taking a sip leaving a pink lip stick stain on the rim

"Is this tap water?" she asked

"Yes"

"For future reference I don't drink tap water" she said putting down the glass

"Duly noted" I said

"Good" she said before kissing me deeply. We carried the kiss all the way over top the couch where she pushed me flat on my back before sitting on top of me and started kissing my neck.

"When you said you didn't do it on the first date I didn't expect we'd be doing it so soon" I said before she kissed me again

"Do you have a problem with that?" she smirked

"No! No problem at all." I quickly said

"Then shut up and enjoy the moment" she said

"Huh uh" I nodded moving my hand to her bra
