Chapter Twenty-Two:

Once again we arrive to Griffin's for another party but this one seems to have way more people. Once I get in, I leave Sirena and Rose to go look for Angelica that isn't hard to find since she is wearing a jam costume and I'm guessing her boyfriend is peanut butter... so fucking cheesy.

"Maddie!" She says when she realizes my presence. She pulls me into a big hug like everyone seems to be doing today.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me it was your birthday! I didn't even have time to get you anything."

"I don't need anything from you." I insure her.

"Oh whatever... I want you to meet someone, babe come here!" She turns around and taps her boyfriend's shoulder and my jaw is wide open when I realize who it is and his is too,

"You're dating David?" I say. I give him a hug as well and she looks so confused,

"Wait... you two know each other?" She asks.

"Yeah Maddie and I went to school together." He turns to me.

"Happy birthday by the way." I don't know how I didn't realize this. They were both going on a date in town, the same night... I never thought I would see Angelica and David together. I'm happy for them but it's just weird seeing my two worlds collide.

"Here's a drink." He hands a cup of beer to me and I take a sip. This is probably the most awkward thing that has ever happened to me. I didn't expect David to be here tonight, I didn't even expect to see him for awhile.

"So um... how is your relationship going?" I ask them to break the awkward tension,

"Good, different than any relationship I have ever been in, you should know that." He says and Angelica darts her eyes at him.

"What is that suppose to mean?!" She asks, taking his comment personally.

"Nothing, babe. Maddie and I have been through a lot together, that's all." What he means in a lot is that two years ago we went on a date and he basically tried to force me into having sex with him. We obviously got over that because he was also addicted to drugs at that time and he was just a different person than he is now.

"Oh okay." She seems worried and I don't blame her. It's a lot to take in that her boyfriend and her best friend use to be best friends themselves... I still sort of consider him my best friend in a way but I have learned to realize whatever memories we had, alcohol was always involved. It wasn't healthy for anyone in our friend group and probably still isn't for them especially Jackson.

I feel someone grab my arm and I automatically know it is Gabriel. I turn to face him.

"What the fuck are you wearing?" He asks like I expected him to.

"First don't fucking talk to me like that, you have no right and second, Rose convinced me to dress up with her and Sirena."

"Can I talk to you... in private?" He asks and I nod. Waving goodbye to my friends, I follow Gabriel upstairs to the bedroom where I woke up last time I was at Griffin's. He closes the door behind us and I take a second to admire his police officer costume that he looks so good in.

"Why did you tell Leandro that It was your birthday and not me? I'm your fucking boyfriend shouldn't I be the one you tell?"  He asks.

"Because I just didn't want to make it a big deal and I tell Leandro everything... he's my best friend." I try to stay calm and not encourage his anger,

"Still you should have fucking told me. I wasn't even able to spend the day with you and shit." I give him a hug.

"I'm sorry for being inconsiderate, but you have barely talked to me recently. I feel like you have been becoming distant ever since we did it." I get why he is upset, I should have thought about how he felt and I didn't. All I cared about was no one finding out and that kind of backfired.

"I don't mean to be. Just a lot of shit as been going on... nothing to worry about though and I promise to be more present." I smile and give him a kiss,

"By the way... you look so fucking sexy." He slaps my butt and I jump,

"I wish I was the only one seeing you like this." He adds.

"You don't look so bad yourself." I grab his handcuffs from his left pocket and play with them,

"Arrest me, officer?" I joke and he bites his lip.

"Don't make sex jokes right now... especially when you look like this."

"What if I want to make sex jokes?" I tease.

"Don't even play with me Maddie, I will take you right here right now." He warns. I lick my teeth and grab onto his belt, keeping eye contact with him,

"What if I want you to do that?" I encourage.

"Stop bullshitting me." He says, but I'm not bullshitting him at all.

"I'm not." Before I know it he presses his lips against mine and pushes me over to the bed. When our lips depart, I stand in front of the bed, waiting for him to join me as he locks the door.

"Do you have protection?" I ask.

"Of course, baby, but you should really go on the pill soon." I wrap my arms around his neck kissing him again,

"Turn around and bend over the bed." He instructs and I do just as he says. I feel as he unzips my body suit and his hands explore my body,

"Fuck." He says as a reaction to my almost naked body. He pulls down my stalkings and lace underwear to my knees, feeling my core with his finger and I let out a moan. He places kisses all over my back,

"You're gorgeous." He reminds me. As he moves himself in me, he was right last week when he said I will feel more pleasure... so much more.

"Gabe... Gabriel." I moan.

"Quiet baby... unless you want to get caught." He says and I cover my mouth, biting on my cheek and trying to contain my moans.

"Fu-fuck." He starts to move faster and I let out a loud moan and he shushes me again.

"Holy shit..." I say and I can tell he has a smirk on his face, knowing he is the only one who has ever made me feel this good.

"Griffin is going to kill us if he finds out... and probably will destroy this room." I joke.

"It's so fucking worth it." He gets out of me and flips me over, admiring my body.

He then goes down on me, letting his fingers slide inside at the same time.

"Jesus... Christ." I stutter, curling my toes. Putting his length back inside me, he places his hand on my breast.

"Absolutely perfect."

"Oh fuck." He says and we both seem to finish at the same time. As he exits my body the last time, he places a kiss on my collar bone and smiles.

He throws out the filled up condom, zipping his pants back up,

"Hopefully we didn't make too much noise." I say and he laughs,

"I doubt that... you were practically screaming my name."

I get up from the bed and pull back up my underwear and stalkings. He helps me zip up the back of the body suit and kisses my cheeks and neck,

"Stop that tickles." I laugh and he continues to kiss my neck and cheeks before ending off with one kiss on the tip of my nose.

"You're my everything, you know that right?"

"Well, now I do." I say with an awkward giggle.

"You can have my heart, both my kidneys and my soul. There is nothing I wouldn't do for you Madeline Flores."

"I need nothing but you Gabriel."

"And that's exactly why I would do anything for you."  I give him a kiss on his chest.

"You made my birthday... I regret not telling you sooner." I admit,

"Well, you should. We could have fucked all day... missed opportunities." I should have known he wouldn't stay cute for ever.

"Let's go back downstairs lover boy before someone realizes were gone."

Gabriel keeps his fingers intertwined with mine as we walk down the stairs. He tells me that were going to stay together all night and I cant leave his sight that kind of feels like I'm a little girl that cant be left alone. We join his friends in Griffin's living room and a few other people that I have seen around school. I take a seat across from Gabriel beside a guy with medium length black hair,

"I'm Tayler." He says introducing himself.

"I'm Maddie, nice to meet you."

"Well Maddie, the pleasure is all mine... do you want a drink?" I hesitate before saying yes to his offer and he grabs a beer bottle from the table and hands it to me. Gabriel darts his eyes towards me, watching me and Tayler's every move.

"Do you want a hit?" Someone asks Gabriel and he nods, grabbing the vape pen from her hand. Everyone here is either, drinking smoking weed or vaping... and the smell is almost unbearable.

"Do you want to try it?" Tayler asks. He must have noticed me staring at his blunt,

"She doesn't smoke." Gabriel speaks up for me.

"I think she can speak for herself Grey." Tayler fires back.

"Yeah... sure actually." I've never smoked weed in my life. Vaped yes, smoked a cigarette yes, but never any drugs.

"Maddie, no."

"I can do what I want." I remind him... honestly I'm mostly doing it because I know he doesn't want me to. I hate how he sometimes tries to control me and he needs to learn that I am not his property.

I grab the blunt from Tayler's hand and take a puff, as I cough afterwards, he laughs.

"Pretend your  smoking a cigarette." He tells me and I do, that makes things much easier.

"Yeah I don't think weed is for me." I say to him. I admire his black and white prisoner costume,

"I like your costume." I say, passing the blunt back to him.

"Thanks." I take another sip of my beer, trying to get that sort of taste in your mouth smoking gives you.

"So Gabriel and Maddie, you guys seemed to be having fun upstairs." Liam says and I feel my cheeks burning up in embarrassment.

"Shut up." Gabriel quickly says. I can see how annoyed he is getting just from Liam opening his mouth once.

"You know, I was walking to the bathroom and all I could hear was Maddie's moans... you guys really don't have any boundaries."

"At least Gabriel can get some, unlike you that only has the anime girls in your head." I fire back and everyone starts saying "OHHH." That gives me encouragement.

"Well you may be saying that now but wait til I get you... your going to be screaming my name so loud even Australia will hear you." What the fuck?

"That's fucking it!" Gabriel gets up and throws Liam on the coffee table, smashing him through the glass that splatters everywhere.

"Gabriel get off him!" I tell him but he is totally zoned out.

"Griffin, do something!" I call out. I don't understand how he can just watch his two friends fight and do nothing.

"Maddie it's better we don't get involved." Griffin says,

"What the fuck do you mean, they are fucking fighting!" I watch as Gabriel smashes Liam's head in the ground and all Liam does is smile as blood comes out of his mouth,

"Is this how you want everyone to see you Gabriel? Your girlfriend to see you?!" Liam laughs.

I don't understand why no one is stopping him. They're just letting him hurt Liam.

After a few more minutes of fighting, Griffin finally listens and tries to pull Gabriel off but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

"Gabriel he's not worth it." Griffin reminds him and Tayler steps in and both of them finally pull Gabriel off,

"You're fucking dead, bitch!" He yells, ready to pounce on Liam again,

"Bring it on, cunt! Do you want to fuck me and post pictures of it too? Or maybe I'll do that to Maddie!"  He asks and everyone goes quiet as Angelica enters the room just as he says that.

"Really fucking mature guys and really Liam? Are you really that much of a asshole that you had to say that?" What does she mean?

"Maddie can just get him out of here please." Griffin asks me and I nod.

I grab Gabriel's hand and lead him out of the room as he starts mumbling swear words.

"Can we go to your place?" I ask him and he nods.

"Want me to drive?" He shakes his head. He isn't giving me any real answers, at least using words. We walk to his car and he doesn't say a word to me, not even when we start driving. He is obviously still mad but I'm not sure why he seems much more than mad? Like maybe a little sad too.

We get to him place and go straight to his room, going straight to his drawers, I pull out a shirt and basketball shorts for me to wear.

I feel Gabriel lift my arm,

"Did I do that to you?" He asks. I look down at my arm where there is a cut going across it,

"A piece of the glass from the coffee table must have hit my arm." I say.

"So I fucking hurt you... just great."

"Let's blame it on the coffee table for not being strong enough." I joke.

"Maddie I- I'm sorry." He says.

"Don't apologize, you didn't mean to."

"It doesn't matter if I meant to or not... I was being reckless and stupid and I ended up hurting you, the exact thing I never wanted to do." He is taking this more serious than he should.

"It's a tiny cut, I don't even feel it." I smile. He bends over and kisses me,

"I fucked up once... really bad in the past and I feel like everyone still sees me as that guy." He says.

"People make mistakes... as long as you know what you did wrong its fine."

"No it really isn't fine, I want to tell you but you'll never see me the same." I put both of my hands on his chest,

"I promise I wont see you any differently and just tell me when your ready... no rush."

"But what is a rush is getting you into a shower... you have cuts and blood all over you." I add.

"That pussy didn't fucking touch me." He snaps,

"Yes but the glass did." It was really fucking dumb what he did, especially since Liam thinks its all a joke and takes nothing seriously.

"Shower with me?" He asks.

"What?" I nervously laugh,

"Shower with me... it will make me feel much better." He starts to pout and do puppy dog eyes,

"Never do that again and fine." He starts taking of his costume and I take off mine, walking to the bathroom that is attached to his room. I turn on the shower and end up getting in before him, closing the glass sliding door behind me.

I start to wash off the makeup on my face, knowing that I'm going to probably have black all around my eyes and look absolutely disgusting, but I really could care less.

I hear the door slide open and Gabriel come in behind me. I turn to face him but say nothing.

Grabbing the shower sponge and soap, I start washing off all the blood off his body,

"Fighting isn't good, you know." I say breaking the silence. I continue to scrub his body,

"What are you my Mother?" He jokes.

I come to stop, holding the sponge on his chest and look up at him,

"I'm being serious... one day your going to get seriously hurt." He places his hands on my wet back pulling me closer to him,

"I'll be fine." I drop the sponge as he places his lips on mine, his hands explore my body, not missing one spot. He picks me up and I wrap my legs around his torso as he pushes me against the wall.

"Promise me you'll never fuck Liam." He says.

"Is that really what your worried about?"

"Maddie, don't be a bitch and just promise me." He looks at me dead serious and I know that this is actually an insecurity he has.

"I promise."

"Tell me you don't want anyone else... I'll be the only one that touches you." I laugh,

"I'm not going to tell you that." He rubs my core with his length and continues to rub up against it. I let out a moan, almost falling from his arms,

"Tell me, Maddie." He starts kissing my neck and lifts me up a bit more, kissing my chest and feeling my breasts with his mouth,

"I don't want... anyone... else. Only you." I let out another moan as I finish my sentence and he lets me down and picks back up the sponge.

"I hate you." I say and he laughs.

"Sure you do."
