Chapter 41

"He did that" Josh gasped

"Yeah"

"Wow"

"I know right"

Josh invited me over to his house since he was too tired come out

He was just waking up the time I called at school.

His apartment was really nice and cozy. The typical rich bachelor home.

Three large bedrooms and two living rooms

We were currently lying on his bed. I told him everything that happened right from the bet with Amber to what happened today.

I find him very easy to talk to. He's always willing to listen no matter what

We laid down in silence staring at the ceiling, lost in our various thoughts

He let out a long deep sigh. I know he was about to say something slick

"Whatever you want to say, say it"

He breathed in deeply as if contemplating saying it or not

"What you did was absolutely wrong" he said

I rolled my eyes

"Tell me something I don't know"

He chuckled

"You're a hard case Bella"

" I've been told"

Another moment of silence

"So.... "

"So.... "

"Can you be completely honest with me?"

I scrunched my face in confusion

"Um okay?'

"How did you feel seeing Drew and Maggie together"

I laughed. He said her name wrongly on purpose

"Her name's Madison"

"That's not the point"

"I felt sad. He doesn't even care. Its even like he's happy we're over"

I laid on my side. He laid on his side too now we're facing each other

He used his thumb to caress my face. I closed my eyes. I remember how Drew used to do this to me

"You're so fucking beautiful" he whispered

"Thanks"

He pulled me closer to him by my waist. I was perplexed at his actions

"Josh... "

"Shh"

"What are you doing?"

"Making you forget about him"

He leaned in closing the space between our lips

I was hesitant at first but then I remembered how angry I was at the sight of Drew and Madison together

I flowed into the kiss. He pulled our bodies closer

This felt different. This felt wrong. For some odd reason, I felt like I was cheating on Drew

I cleared that thought out of my head. He's not mine anymore and neither am I his

I decided to let loose. I kissed Josh as if our lives depended on it

His hands groped my butt firmly, just the way I like it.

He rolled over, getting on top of me. It felt right this time

I'm me again... The old me. The girl who hooks up with guys for fun with no strings attached

I felt free. No more commitments. No more fidelity. No more loyalty

Like a prisoner being set free, I felt a feeling of relief wash over me

The kiss got serious. He grinded against me with his full hard on. My core was hot too

I was experienced enough to know that he wanted me. The lust in his kiss was quite obvious

I haven't had sex in the past few months. A harmless fling wouldn't hurt, would it?

"Do you have a condom?" I asked, my breath heavy

"Yes, do you want it?"

I thought about it again. Its just a harmless fling right?

"Yeah"

The rest was history

I walked, more like staggered into my living room

I got home by 7:30. Josh and I were at it for a long ass time

I hate to admit it but the guy is really good in bed. Sadly, I had to come home to avoid any trouble.

"I cannot believe this! " I heard Steve yell from upstairs

Wait.... What?

As if on cue, Gerald ran downstairs.

"Where have you been? I've been calling you like crazy"

I checked my phone

10 missed calls from "my heart💞 "

Oh my God. It's true. I was too caught up in my business to realize

"I'm so sorry"

His eyes were red and puffy like he's been crying. I held his hands

"What's wrong?"

"Mom's cheating on Steve"

Holy shit
