Chapter Five:

Oh What A Pickle!

I was a little upset when I woke up this morning. The second I opened my eyes the realisation of Marcus coming back the next day hit me like a ton of bricks.

I was having such a good time with Calum and his family. God, especially his mother she has to be the sweetest yet craziest woman ever.

So here I am at one o’clock in the afternoon in Calum’s studio swaying my hips to ‘Santana’s Satellite’

After watching Dirty Dancing one and Havana Nights I became obsessed with learning how to salsa and move the way they did.

You gotta love Cubans.

I was happily singing along to the song when I felt a pair of strong hands grip my waist. I gasped lifting my eyes I saw it was Calum grinning back at me like a wild dog.

“You salsa baby?” he asked huskily in my ear. I tried so damned hard not to shudder in his arms right then. I silently nodded meeting his gaze in the mirror opposite me.

“Why didn’t you say?” he whispered. I gasped when he took my hand and spun me around before dipping me down me in his arms.

I blinked up at him still a little surprised. He pulled me back up and brushed his lips over mine tenderly. “You...salsa?” I asked and he nodded.

“Certamente eu meu amor.” (I certainly can, my love) He said with a sexy smile. I quirked a brow at him ignoring the nervous pull in my stomach.

“What does that mean?” I asked as we began swaying. He closed his eyes and shook his head.

“Just dance.” He said brushing off my question. I did as he asked and once again lost myself with him, I let him twirl and lead me around the room for remainder of the song.

The song ended five minutes later. Calum was grinning at me roguishly once he dipped me down to end the dance. “Hi.” He breathed gazing into my eyes.

“Hey.” I said back before he lifted me straight up again. My arms slid around his neck as I pressed myself into him. “Where you been?” I asked peering up at me through my lashes.

Calum placed his hands at my waist keeping me flush against him. “I was with Mel.” He mumbled leaning in to kiss me but I frowned and pulled my head back before he could.

“Oh, so she’s Mel now is she?” I asked arching a brow at him. Calum stared blankly at me for a moment.

“Uh...what?” he asked bemused. I scowled and took a step back breaking his hold on my waist and crossed my arms over my chest glaring at him.

“So that’s who you’ve been with all this time?” I asked annoyed.

“Yeah, she wanted to go shopping for a dress.” Calum said impassively.

I looked at him for a long moment, “Is that all she wanted?” I asked irked.

Calum blinked, “What is that supposed to mean?” he asked frowning now himself.

I shrugged, “I think you know.”

“Am I being accused of something here, Faith?” he asked his tone stiff while his eyes darkened. I wasn’t exactly sure what the look in his eyes meant, was it guilt?

“Why don’t you tell me Calum?”

Calum shrugged. “There’s nothing to tell, we went to a few shops in town she got a dress, we had lunch and I came home. What’s the problem?” he asked.

“So you’re telling me nothing happened between the two of you today. You just innocently walked around town with England’s biggest slut?” I spat hotly.

I was silently hoping I was being stupid that he did have enough will power to keep his hands to himself. “I’m not sure what it is you want me to say here, Faith?” he asked with a shrug.

“I’m finding it hard to believe you just ‘walked’ around with a girl who just so happens to be your fuck buddy.”

“Ex-fuck buddy.” He corrected. “Is that what this is about, you think I slept with her?”

“Did you?”

Calum scowled deeply. “No.”

“Did you kiss her?”

Calum looked at me silently. “Faith...” I shook my head and backed away when he tried to take a step towards me. “Babe, remember why I’m doing this.”

I shook my head angrily. “Making out with her was not part of the deal Calum.” I hissed in response.

“What do you want me to do she’s supposed to be my girlfriend. Its gonna look a bit weird if I don’t kiss my girl, whether it’s made-up or not she thinks we’re actually going out.” Calum explained.

I stubbornly scoffed. I swear I must get my stubborn side from my brother. What he said made a lot of sense but the idea of him kissing another woman made my blood boil.

“Well, maybe you should change that.” I said snidely. Calum looked back at me confused.

“What?” he asked glaring at me angrily.

“Drop the pretence and actually date her, now that you’re available you can reignite that fire, just like old times.” I said and turned to walk out when he swiftly stopped me.

“Hang on, are you being serious?” he asked narrowing his eyes.

“Do I look like I’m joking?” I asked with a scowl.

“You’re breaking up with me?” he asked, his tone as tight as a nuns arsehole. (No disrespect to nuns. Love the outfits!)

“I don’t know about you Calum, but I can’t stand around and watch my boyfriend kissing and touching other girls when he’s supposed to be with me.” I snapped irritated and stormed off towards my room.

“Faith, get back here, we’re not done yet.” I heard Calum following me so I picked up my pace a little. With my little legs I must have looked like the roadrunner.

I had just made it to the top of the stairs when I felt Calum grab my wrist and yank me into his room. I tried to fight him off, but he had already closed the door and pressed me into it. “Don’t walk away from me when I’m trying to talking to you.” he hissed.

I narrowed my eyes at him. “What’s there to talk about?”

“A lot.” He uttered. “Do you honestly believe I want to kiss another girl, particularly Melanie?” he asked and I looked away. “Look at me, Faith.”

When I didn’t, he took a hold of my chin and turned me to face him. I lifted my eyes and met his, the soft brown I loved so much peering back at me. “Baby, I’m doing this for us. You think I’m not going to hate it when Marcus gets back and starts touching and kissing you? I don’t want Melanie, I want you. If I had a choice, I would choose you every time. We just have to bare our teeth for the next two days, after we go back home, we’ll tell Marcus and then it will be just us.” He said smoothly, and me being the sucker that I am fell for it and caved.

I closed my eyes and let my head fall back against the door with a thump, I winced a little and Calum must have noticed because he chuckled. “The next two days are going to be hell. Marcus comes back tomorrow so that’s it for us. We won’t even have the opportunity to blink in each other’s direction.” I mumbled frustrated.

“Mm, it’s going to be hard but you’re worth it.” He told me his eyes drifting down from my eyes to my lips. I gasped a little when he pressed himself into me. I could feel his hard chest rubbing against my own.

I resisted the urge to shiver as his hands slid up from my waist, his finger tips slowly brushing the insides of my arms. My heart race increased when he lifted my arms and pinned them up over my head with one hand while the other slid up my back sending masses of tingles cascading down my spine. With a swift move she found the hem of my vest top and pulled it off me.

In an instant our lips were fused together and we were kissing like there was no tomorrow--well there’s was but not for us and God only know the next time I’ll get to touch or kiss him. My mind was off someplace else I couldn’t think clearly until Calum moved us. He fell back on the bed and I fell on top of him lips still fused hands flying over each other.

This make out session was getting way out of hand. I needed to stop this and fast, because Calum was beginning to unhook my bra.

“Faith...Marcus is on the phone for you, honey!” Joanne called from downstairs.

Thank god

“What?” Calum asked, shoot I must have said that out loud.

“I said...oh god.” Calum arched a brow. He sighed and his head flopped back down on the mattress.

“Trust him to call you now of all fucking times.” he grumbled as I crawled over to his phone.

“Hello?” I answered falling back on the bed with a sigh.

“Hey baby.”

Urgh spare me.

“Um hi?” I said and winced when my voice came out a little squeaky.

“How you doing, babe?” he asked.

“I’m uh good. How are you, how are things in Egypt?” I asked keeping the conversation light.

“Great, it would be even better if you were here with Me. I miss you.” he said smoothly. Oh sure which is why you never called until now! I felt sick and it took everything in me to not yell at him.

I bit my tongue however, “I miss you too.” I said and glanced at Calum who looked at me with a scowl. I shrugged. He reached over to the phone and clicked on the speakerphone.

“What are you doing right now?” Marcus’s voice filtered through the room.

“Oh nothing, I’m just lying on your bed staring up at the ceiling.”

“Are you thinking about me?” he asked huskily. I met Calum’s eyes and bit my bottom lip.

“Of course, are you thinking about me?” I asked quietly. Marcus made throaty sound from the other end and my eyes widened.

“Yeah, I am. I’m at the hotel going crazy thinking about you.” I winced. “You have no idea how much I want you in my arms right now. I miss your lips, the silkiness of your skin, the way you taste...” Marcus trailed off and I gulped.

I jumped when I felt Calum’s hot breath on my neck. I looked back at him and he pressed his finger to his lips telling me to be quiet.

“R-Really?” I stammered nervously. Holy hell my old boyfriend is about to have phone sex with me while my new boyfriend-- who just so happens to be his brother-- is in the room feeling me up at the same time. This cannot be happening.

“I miss hearing your voice purring my name. I want you so bad right now kitten.” He moaned.

“Marcus...what are you doing?” I asked warily.

“What do you think I’m doing, honey?” my eyes widened and I whipped my head around to look at Calum. He was grimacing.

“You should go.” I whispered to him silently. He shook his head refusing. “Uh...Marcus, hang on a sec, I’m just gonna make sure everybody is out, okay?”

“Alright, hurry.” I sighed and Calum leaned over and muted the speaker phone.

“What are you doing, you have to leave.”

Calum shook his head. “No, you’re my girlfriend, remember?” he said irritated.

“Calum your brother is going to whack off over the phone, do you really want to stick around and listen to that?”

“We shared a room for three years, you think I never heard him whack off?” he asked sceptically. I grimaced.

“I can’t do this with you in the room. He’s going to want me to talk...dirty to him.” I said rubbing my eyes.

“You focus on him and I’ll take care of you.” he said with a mischievous grin.

My eyes widened. “Wait, what do you mean take care of me, take care of me how?” I asked quickly. He gave me a look and I gaped at him.

“You can’t be serious?” I asked. I’m sure my face resembled an over cooked tomato. He shook his head. “Na-uh this is not happening. I will not let you get me off while I have phone sex with your brother. This goes way beyond the boarder of normal.”

“Come on, you can put this down as one of the craziest things you have ever done.” I glared at him.

“Look, I understand your need to share with your brother, but you can’t share me. This isn’t right. I might as well have a threesome with you both after this.”

Calum smirked. “Sure baby, whatever gets you off.” I couldn’t breathe, I felt as though I was hyperventilating.

“I swear to god between the two of you, you’re both going to drive me crazy.” I grumbled reaching over to the phone. “If I end up blurting out your name you’re going to be the one explaining to your brother not me.” I said and picked up the phone. “Marcus?”

“Yeah, you took your time?” he said annoyance evident in his voice.

“Sorry, I had to get um...supplies.” I said and watched as Calum grinned in my face.

“Supplies?” Marcus asked.

“Yeah, you know...” I trailed off and Marcus groaned.

“Shit, you have supplies now?”

“Well yeah, a girl’s gotta get herself off somehow.” I closed my eyes when Calum began licking my neck. “And what with you not being around...”

“Is the house empty?”

“Yes.” I breathed unintentionally.

“You starting without me baby?” he asked a little excited. I bit my bottom lip and resisted the urge to moan when Calum began kissing down my chest.

“I’m sorry I just miss you so much.” I purred looking in Calum’s eyes.

“I miss you too. What are you wearing right now baby?” I watched as Calum took off my track suit bottoms leaving me in my lacy thong.

“Uh . . . well, my underwear.”

“Lose them.” Marcus demanded. My eyes widened when Calum grinned fingering the elastic of my hot pink thong.

(Shaggy , Hey Sexy Lady)

“Hang on.” I said but shook my head at Calum. He pulled my legs and I was sprawled on his bed, he slowly slid my underwear down my legs and discarded them. I almost gasped.

“Faith?”

“Um, hang on just need to take off my bra.” I said and I heard Marcus grunt. Calum slid up my body licking me all the way. He straddled my waist and lifted me to sit upright. He kissed me deeply before snapping my bra open and tossing it aside.

Calum met my eyes once he pulled back and licked his lips. “So gorgeous.” He whispered in my ear. I shivered in response.

“Marcus?” I called out and I heard him moan in reply. This is so messed up.

“Are you naked baby?” he asked breathlessly.

“Yeah, I am.” I said and allowed Calum to push me back on the bed his hard body covering my own.

“I’m going to fuck you, right now where he can hear you screaming.” Calum whispered in my ear. I shook in his arms. As sick as this was I couldn’t ignore the thrill that shot up my spine when he said that.

“Uh.” I moaned when Calum sucked on one of my nipples. “Marcus...” I moaned and winced at the same time.

“Fuck Faith, you sound so sexy. I wanna be there with you right now. I wanna feel your tight hole, baby.” Marcus said and I could hear him pumping himself on the other end.

“Mmhm,” I closed my eyes and gasped loudly when I felt Calum’s tongue on my mound, teasing me with kittenish licks. “Oh yes, baby.” I moaned grasping fists full of his bed sheets.

“Faith...god baby, I can’t wait till I’m buried inside you again. I’m going to fuck you senseless when I get my hands on you next.” Marcus said panting.

“Mm, baby I need you please...” I moaned and heard Marcus groaning.

By this point I was panting like a bitch in heat. I honestly thought Marcus was a God when it came to eating me out. But fuck he had nothing on his brother. Calum was suckling on my clit like a Dyson vacuum cleaner.

“Oh God...Oh god...Oh...uh.” My body shook with pure bliss as my orgasm came thundering down on me.

“Faith, did you come baby?” Marcus asked his breathing laboured. I opened my eyes and saw Calum grinning down at me.

“Tell him no.” He whispered to me.

“No, baby not yet.” I said panting looking up at Calum as he settled himself in between my legs. I have no idea when he stripped his clothes off and strapped on a condom. But he was ready to slip inside me.

“Oh god Faith, I’m gonna come baby.” Marcus’s voice filtered through the room.

“Tell him not to.”

“No, don’t, I’m not ready yet. Please, baby, I want us to come together.” I told Marcus but my eyes were fixed on Calum’s. I could hear Marcus pumping himself.

“Are you hot for me baby?” Calum asked his erection pressed at my entrance. I lifted my legs and wrapped them around his waist.

I nodded silently. Calum kissed me before slipping himself thick and long inside of me. I moaned throatily when I felt him fill me up completely. It was crazy, it was almost like he was a perfect fit. The only guy I have ever slept with was Marcus he was the one who took my virginity but Calum felt like he belonged.

I can’t tell you how confused I was feeling in that moment. I never wanted to cheat on Marcus especially with his brother. I don’t cheat, that’s not who I am. I wasn’t sure what it was, but whenever I was around Calum I have this uncontrollable need to touch him.

The lust and desire that burned between us was intense. I arched my body into Calum who moaned into my ear quietly moving his hips slowly thrusting in and out of me.

“Faith, baby I need you, I need your gorgeous body baby. I need to feel the tightness of your pussy honey.” Marcus breathed heavily. “Come for me sexy.”

“Mm, God baby yes, I want you too, I need you.” I said clinging to Calum as he began thrusting inside me almost frantically. His low grunting and moaning was driving me crazy I needed to hear him, I wanted to hear him.

After a minute Calum stopped and looked down at me. “Finish him off now.” He almost growled.

I nodded began panting faking an orgasm. “Marcus, come for me babe, I’m coming . . . I want you to come with me, please.” I purred Calum was kissing my chest licking and nipping at my flesh.

“Uh Faith, I’m coming...fuck yeah...ohmm.” Marcus came because I heard him sigh after a few seconds. “Shit that was great babe,”

“Yeah, it really was. I should go and get cleaned up before someone gets back.” I told Marcus.

“Okay babe, I’ll see you later tonight.” Marcus said after a beat. My head shot up.

“Tonight, you said you were coming back tomorrow evening?” I asked wide eyed.

Marcus began shuffling. “Nah, I’m done here. I’m coming home to you. I can’t stand to be away from you any longer.” I closed my eyes as guilt started kicking in.

“Alright, well I guess I’ll see you in a few hours.” I said keeping the disappointment from my voice.

“Okay and Faith...?”

“Yeah?”

“I love you.” my head shot up once again and the line went dead. I looked at the phone gaping. Did he just...?

“Tell me he didn’t just . . .?” I looked at Calum and he nodded. I closed my eyes and let my head fall back down again. “. . . Oh God.” I breathed.

“Faith, do you want to stop?” Calum asked and I opened my eyes and looked at him.

“What . . . stop what?” I asked quickly. He smiled slightly and pushed his hips upwards. Shoot he was still inside of me. I gasped when a jolt of pleasure ran through my body awakening my desire for him once again.

Calum dropped a kiss to my lips he must have noticed the need burning in my eyes. “What do you want, Faith?” I shrugged.

“I’m not sure.”

“Okay well, we’re in a bit of a compromising position here. Do you want us to finish having sex and forget about what Marcus said or shall I pull out and we can talk about this?”

I wanted him. For the life of me I wanted Calum that much I knew for sure. In that moment I wanted him more than ever. I got a little taste of him but I wanted the full damn course meal.

I’m not sure if that made me a cheating slut, or a whore but I’m sure if you were in my shoes right now you make the same damned choice.

“How about we have sex then we can talk?” I suggested. Calum looked at me for a moment before a lazy grin spread across his face.

“I’m down with that.” he said and plastered his lips to mine. And so it begun, and didn’t stop for a good few hours. Calum made my body feel things it never has before, we did positions I didn’t even think was possible. To say he was the best sex I have ever had was an understatement and a half.

Had I died right then I would have been happy. I was more than satisfied. I suppose having over more than five orgasms does that do a person. My body was shot and drenched in sweat when we fell back on the bed panting like blood hounds.

“Fuck.” Calum said breathless. “That was amazing.” I moaned in response too lazy to move.

“I can’t feel my legs.” I said and heard Calum chuckle. I peeled my eyes open and lazily glanced at him sideways. “I honestly think you’ve paralyzed me.” I said smiling.

I was lying on my stomach while he was lying on his back looking up at the ceiling beside. Calum rolled over and scooted closer to me he pressed a kiss to my bare shoulder.

“That’s what you get with me, I don’t do half measures. When I do something I do it right.” he said nuzzling my neck.

“How can you even move after all that?” I asked tiredly.

“We don’t have much time, Faith. We need to talk about this whole Marcus thing.”

I began nibbling on bottom lip again and Calum smiled, he leaned in and kissed me slowly and thoroughly. Sometime during the kiss he rolled me over and was now on top of me.

“Calum...we should talk...about this.” I breathed my fingernails digging in to his muscular back.

Calum lifted his head and looked at me with hazy eyes. “You know what I want. The rest is up to you.” he said simply.

“I’m confused, Cal. I just don’t understand and for the life of me I can’t seem to figure out what it is your brother wants.” I said with a tired sigh.

“Faith, I can’t tell you what my brother wants because I have no idea what’s going on in that head of his. But answer me this, Do you love him?” he asked and I bit my lip and nodded.

“I don’t know.” I said and saw Calum’s eyes turn sorrowful.

“Do you love me?” he asked again. I nodded.

Calum closed his eyes and pressed his forehead to mine. “Look Faith, I’ve only ever loved one girl in my life. I don’t make a habit of falling for girls, especially one of my brother’s girls. I can’t help the way the feel about you. I love you and the thought of my brother touching and kissing you makes my stomach turn. I saw the way he treats you and I don’t like it. You deserve so much better and I’m not saying all of this to deride my brother so you can choose me, because I’m not.” Calum told me his fingers lazily fingering my hair.

“He doesn’t see you like I do. He doesn’t even know you. He thinks you’re dull and conventional where as I think you’re the most incredible, fun loving girl I have ever met.” I smiled a little at his words.

“Thanks, you’re not half bad yourself.” Calum chuckled.

“See, this is exactly what I’m talking about. You have a great sense of humour but you can be such a klutz sometimes, even though you can fight and should have a great sense of balance.” He told me his finger delicately tracing my lips. He met my eyes, “Just do me one thing, will you?”

“What’s that?”

“Ask him why he loves you.” Calum said and shifted off me. He sat up at the edge of the bed every muscle in his back was tense.

I sat up and wrapped a sheet around my naked body and crawled over to him. I pushed up on my knees and grasped his shoulders and massaged him working the taut muscles.

Calum’s head tilted to the side. “Mm, that feels so good.” He moaned.

I leaned into him pressing my cheek to his. “I’m scared of what’s going to come of all this, Calum. I don’t want to come between you and your brother and most of all I don’t want to disappoint your parents.” Calum looked back at me.

“Babe, I wanna be with you. I’m ready to deal with the consequences. The question is are you?”

“I have to talk to Marcus. I need to know where his head is. I just don’t understand he’s confusing the hell out of me.” I said sitting on the bed and pulling my legs into my chest.

Calum looked over his shoulder at me. “Just remember what he was doing while he was away.” He said with a tired sigh.

I shook my head. “How can I be mad at him for cheating on me when I was just doing the same thing myself? You know, not only was I cheating with his brother but he was on the phone while I was doing it.” I said. I honestly felt disgusted with myself. I love Calum, but since when have I become a lying, cheating whore? “Truth is I’m no better than he is.” I added closing my eyes.

Calum frowned and turned to face me properly. “Faith, you haven’t done anything wrong. He’s the one that cheated on you and probably has done on more than one occasion.”

“That’s just technicalities, no matter which way I spin it I have to face the fact that I outdone him. I slept with his brother.” I said with a shrug.

“Yeah, because he doesn’t care about you, if he did he would have taken you to Egypt with him. If it were me, I wouldn’t have thought twice about it. He used work as an excuse to get away to party and have fun. If he really loved and missed you why hasn’t he called you before now?” I bit my lip musing over what he was saying.

He honestly did have a point. Why hadn't Marcus called me? If he honestly loved me why wouldn't he take me with him?

I have never been more confused in my life. How am I supposed tell Marcus I am in love with his brother? How is he gonna take it? Will he hate me?

"I just don't know what to do." I said frustrated.

Calum looked at me briefly, “Well, you only have a few hours to figure it out." He said evenly. "The choice is yours, Babe."

I chewed on my bottom lip thoughtfully. My mind was in a state of disarray I wasn’t sure what to think. I had to talk to Marcus that much I knew for sure. With a heartfelt sigh I stood up from the bed and walked off towards the bathroom.

"Faith... “Calum called out after me. I stopped just before I got to the door and turned to look at him. For a moment, we stood still just staring at each other and even with the distance I could still see the sorrow in Calum's eyes. It burned a hole in my heart to see him like that. I smiled sadly before I opened the door and walked out.

Calum’s P. O. V...

I watched silently as Faith walked out of my bedroom. I swallowed thickly and sighed. I just slept with my brother’s girlfriend. I wasn’t proud of myself but there was something about Faith that enthralled me.

I haven’t let any girl since Sam get close to me emotionally, but it seemed Faith broke through the barriers and found her way to my heart. I smiled at the warm feeling that jolted through me at the thought of her.

After I was done musing over my actions over the past week I dragged myself to the bathroom to have a quick shower before I had to rush off to the airport and pick up my brother. I was a second away from turning the door knob when it beat me to it, the door opened and I saw Faith standing before me standing in a tiny towel dripping wet looking every bit of gorgeous.

I quickly scanned the area to make sure no one was around and I quickly stepped into the bathroom pushing her gently back and closing the door. Faith gasped when I pushed into the door and I stepped into her my chest pressing up against hers.

“Hmm, having a major déjà vu right about now, haven’t we been here before?” she asked impishly.

I smirked, “We have, and we will be again...” I mumbled kissing her lips chastely “...and again...” I said brushing my lips over her jaw “...and again.” I finished nipping at her neck where she moaned snaking her arms around my neck pulling me closer.

When I pulled back again I was greeted with her startling blue orbs. Need I mention I was a sucker for green/blue eyes? It was the first thing that attracted me to Faith to begin with. I remember the first day I looked into her baby blue eyes I felt my gut weave with fanaticism.

“I really hate this.” I heard Faith breathe. I pulled back to look at her with a frown.

“Do you want me to stop?” I asked uncertainly. Faith’s eyes widened and she shook her head.

“No, God, not that, I meant our situation.” I nodded. “I just wish we didn’t have to sneak around like this.”

I smiled and pressed a kiss to her lips for a second, “Not long left now babe, it’s New Years Eve tomorrow. Once we go home we can talk more about when we tell Marcus.” I explained pressing my forehead to hers.

“I have a really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach Cal, and I can’t seem to shake it. What if something bad-”

I stopped her talking by pressing my finger to her lips. “-nothing bad is going to happen. I love you and I’m ready to fight anything that comes our way, have it be my brother or my family I don’t care. I lost a girl I loved once before and I know the pain I went through, I won’t do that again. I won’t lose you to a dickhead like my brother.”

Faith blinked and gingerly raised her hand to pull my finger away from her lips so she could speak. She licked her lips slowly an action that made my organ jump to life once again. “You know, someday soon you’re really going to have to tell me about this Sam girl.” She said her eyes searching mine.

She must have noticed how my eyes hardened, as it always does whenever Samantha’s name is mentioned. A look of concern flashed in her eyes and she frowned for a moment watching me wistfully before her hand dropped to my chest and she gently pushed me away from her. I frowned in response. “What’s wrong?” I asked quickly.

“I,” She said narrowing those blue eyes at me. “I don’t think I’m the only confused one here.” She uttered.

“What, what are you talking about Faith?” I asked trying to take a step closer to her but she stopped me by holding out her hand in front of her.

“Sam, I’m talking about Sam. You still love her...don’t you?” She asked lowering her head a little and looking up at me through her lashes.

I opened my mouth to respond but hesitated, “Yes,” I whispered after a moment. Faith’s shoulders slumped and she dropped her gaze from mine shaking her head. I found myself staring at the top of her head wishing I had the power to read her mind, to know what she was thinking right now. “Faith, it’s really not what you think.” I stated swallowing thickly.

Faith lifted her eyes and met mine. “Oh no, then what is it?” she asked her voice barely an octave over a whisper. How am I supposed to answer that damn question without revealing everything about my past and relationship with Sam?

I bit my lip and sighed. “Look babe, I can’t get into this with you right now, I have to pick up Marcus in less than an hour.” I tried to reason and she shook her head again.

“I need to know.” she pressed on.

I frowned. “I know and I will tell you just not yet alright.” I told her evenly.

“So you keep saying. What are you hiding? What is it about this girl that you’re keeping from me?” she asked.

I sighed and ran my fingers through my still sweat damp hair. “It’s a really long story Faith.” I said rather stiffly.

Faith huffed clearly annoyed. “Fine, then give me the cliff notes version.” I shook my head.

“No, I’ll tell you when I’m good and ready.” I snapped. Faith’s blue eyes turned icy and I instantly regretted using that tone with her. I heard the door click and even before I could blink she was gone. “Damn it.” I breathed irritated, placing my hands on the door once it clicked shut.

Why couldn’t she understand that I wasn’t ready to share that part of my life with her yet? I mean its not like I don’t wanna tell her because I do but a part of me is afraid of her reaction. Will she trust me? Will she blame for what happened between Sam and I?

Would she have the stomach to even look me in the face after I tell her my ex-fiancée’s blood is on my hands?

Oh God! I can NOT apologise enough for taking so long with updating this story and the others. My life has been kind of hectic lately but I sincerely apologize.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I am eagerly waiting your response.
