The Bad Boys Going Soft

Avery's P.O.V

It was after ten pm, Hailey was fast asleep next to me, she fell asleep halfway through Lethal Weapon 3. She was snuggling into my side, her face buried in my tee. I smiled, stroking her hair. I grabbed her cell, sending a text to her mom, pretending to be her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hailey to mom: Hey, staying at Layla's tonight. Having a girl's night, see you tomorrow. Night love you x

Mom: Ok, sweetie. See you, tomorrow love, you too x

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At least that worked. I sent Layla a text too, telling her I told Hailey's mom that she was staying with her so she can stay here because she was fast asleep. As I went to put her phone down a text came through from Dane. I only saw what was on the screen. I was not going to read her texts that would be wrong.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dane: Hey beautiful

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That was all I saw, and I rolled my eyes without meaning too. I sat her phone down and gently pulled away from her, going to check on my mom. I found her fast asleep on the sofa. I went over slowly, shaking her.

"Mom, go to bed," I whispered.

"Okay." She smiled tiredly.

"Hailey is staying tonight, is that okay?" I asked.

"Okay. Son, don't do to her what you usually do. She is better than that." She said, giving me a small smile.

"I know mom. I am trying not to." I replied.

She nodded, hugging me, and kissing my cheek.

"Night son, love you." She smiled.

"Night mom, I love you too," I replied as she headed into her bedroom.

I grabbed some bottles of juice before heading back to my bedroom. Hailey was still sound asleep. I stripped down to my boxers, heading back over to the bed.

"What time is it?" I heard her say tiredly.

"Just after ten. I texted your mom from your phone pretending to be you, saying you were staying at Layla's and text Layla to tell her too in case your mom called her. You can crash here tonight." I smiled.

"Okay. Can I steal a top from you please to sleep in?" She asked shyly sitting up.

"Sure thing. You want a pair of boxers too?" I asked.

"Yes, please." She said blushing, making me chuckle.

I nodded heading over to the drawer, grabbing her what she needed, passing them to her. She stood from the bed, heading into the bathroom. I climbed under the covers, waiting for her to come back. I looked up when I heard her come back, swallowing hard when I see her. Damn! She looked good in my clothes. I bit down on my lip as I watched her. She rushed over to the bed, jumping under the covers as quickly as she could, hiding. I chuckled, making her look at me.

"Kitten, what is with the hiding? I have seen you wearing less. You look good in my clothes, though." I smirked, winking at her.

She giggled, blushing before sending me a glare.

"You wanna go back to sleep, or you wanna put a movie or something on?" I asked.

"Don't think I will last a movie, maybe put something on the TV for an hour." She said.

I nodded flicking through the channels, deciding on Family Guy. Hailey laid down using my bare chest as a pillow again. She rested her warm hands on my stomach. I shivered slightly under her touch. She giggled, making me look down at her.

"What are you giggling about?" I asked, raising my brow at her.

"No reason." She replied giggling again.

"Bullshit!" I laughed.

She gave me a dorky smile, making me laugh. A silence fell between us. Our eyes not leaving each other. Her fingertips started tracing my chest.

"Hailey, what are you doing?" I breathed out.

"Nothing." She said, stopping it, "I think I am gonna go to sleep, still really tired." She added, giving me a small smile pulling away.

"Okay," I replied a little disappointed.

I switched the TV off, leaving the room with a small light from the bedside lamp. I rolled onto my side, Hailey doing the same.

"You sure you are okay?" I asked.

"Yes." She replied, reaching over running her hand over my cheek, "You have the most beautiful eyes." She added randomly, blushing again.

"Thank you." I chuckled, soon stopping when she ran her hands through my hair before stroking my cheek again.

I closed my eyes, sighing. I knew I probably should not, but I reached forward capturing her face between my hands, inching closer to her. I left a small space between us, giving her the chance to close it. I soon felt her warm lips press against mine. Her arms were coming around my neck. I gripped her hips, pulling her front against mine, a groan coming from her lips. I felt Hailey's warm tongue rin along my bottom lip wanting access into my mouth. I gave into her, parting my lips and letting her take the lead. I let out an animal-like growl as I felt her tongue massage against mine. She giggled against my lips before her fingernails traced down my back.

There was something different about it this time. My urge for her was more potent than usual. I think it may be because she has someone wanting her attention. I slid my hand between the covers. One hand going to her bare thigh, grabbing it roughly and hooking it around my hip. Hailey not protesting against it. She moved her hands, placing them on my chest, pushing on it until I was on my back. She climbed on top of me, sitting on my stomach, looking down at me, biting her lower lip.

"Hailey, what are you doing?" I breathed out, stroking her hips.

"Do you want me to stop?" She asked quietly.

"Yes. No. I don't know." I replied in a stutter. "What about Dane?" I added.

Why am I giving a fuck about him? He knew the rules before he even went after her. When I mentioned his name, she stopped what she was doing, whatever that would have been.

"Did you need to bring him up right now?" She giggled.

"It is just you have a date with him. I don't know how much you like him." I added.

Seriously? What the fuck is going on with me? She is making me soft. I need to snap out of it.

"Maybe we should stop then." She said, sounding a little disappointed.

"Or not?" I smirked up at her, my hands going to her ass.

"But you are the one that suggested it...oh well." She shrugged. "Better luck next time." She added, trying to hide her smirk.

She was teasing me. Since when does Hailey tease? She went to move off me, but I was not going to let her do that. I pushed her onto her back, climbing on top of her. I pressed my lips against hers before another word could be said. She whimpered loudly, her fingers wrapping in my hair, tugging at it roughly as I forced my tongue back into her mouth.

She hooked her legs around my hips. The kiss was different again; I could feel the want in her lips. I ground my body against hers, causing her to moan loudly into my lips. I slid my hands under the tee she had on, my fingers trailing her ribs and stomach, going towards her bra covered breasts. She was not trying to stop me. I groped her through her bra, making her whimper into the kiss. I slowly slid my hands downwards, resting my hand above the band of my boxers she had on. I pulled away from her lips, looking down at her, needing to know if I should go any further. She was looking up at me, her breathing heavy. I looked at her, seeing she never wanted me to stop.

"Are you sure?" I breathed out.

She never answered, only nodded her head at me. I smirked, making her giggle. I pushed my hand under the boxers sliding downwards. She gasped a little and then at the worst time possible what my mom said to me played in my head and I quickly pulled away.

"I can't. I am sorry. Not right now." I said, regretting the words I said to her.

"Why?" She asked, seeming hurt.

"Because it doesn't feel right that's why," I said.

"Okay, can you move, please? I am tired." She said, refusing to look at me.

I nodded, rolling off her. As soon as I did, she turned away from me, pulling the covers over her face, switching the lamp off. Great! Now she was pissed at me. Why the heck did I stop? Is that not what I want? I do not think I like this side of myself. I groaned, annoyed at myself. Thought I am meant to be a bad boy? Bad boys do not do what I just did. I need to sort myself out. I rolled onto my side, pressing my front against her back, placing my hand on her hip, leaning down, kissing her neck softly.

"Avery, what are you doing?" She whispered, shivering under my fingertips.

"Kissing your neck." I purred in her ear, a small whimper coming from her lips.

"Why? You wanted to stop, not me?" She asked, refusing to look at me.

"Come on kitten, don't be like that. I don't want you doing anything you would regret." I whispered, my lips now on her shoulders.

"Avery it is more than that. You have been weird with me all night. Why?" She asked, turning to face me.

"Because. actually it doesn't matter." I said sighing.

I was glad the room was in darkness, or she would see the look I had on my face. I am not going to lie. I hate knowing that she is going on a date with someone else, especially when I know the guy, she is going on a date with is a nice guy. It pissed me off.

"Avery tell me. I don't want any more lies." She said sternly.

Here goes nothing. She will head straight for the door once I say what I am going to say. I know she will, and I do not blame her.

"The fact that you are going on a date with someone pisses me off Hailey, especially because I know he is a decent guy. The complete opposite of me. I do not know why it gets to me; it just does. I know I have no right, but I can't help it." I said, without stopping for a breath.

"No, you don't have a right, Avery. I do not get it, you sound jealous, but you do not get jealous. You do not want me, not really. You only want one thing from me. You only wanna be friends, yet it pisses you off when someone else wants me, why is that?" She said.

I wanted to answer her question, but I never knew how. I went to open my mouth, but no words came out.

"Forget it, Avery. I don't wanna get into this again." She said calmly.

"Okay," I said sighing.

"Thank you. Now shhh, I need sleep, and I want cuddles." She said giggling.

Whoa! Wait! That I was not expecting, but I am thankful because I am fed up arguing and fighting with her too. I chuckled, her turning away from me, tugging at my arm. I smiled, shifting closer to her, resting my arm over her waist. She linked her fingers through mine.

"Night, night Avery." She whispered tiredly.

"Night, Kitten," I replied, kissing her cheek before settling down.

Tomorrow is a new day, I guess.
