Into dark water by Regina Bartley (19)

Draven

I kept my word. I packed up my shit, and moved to Jenny’s in exchange for one night of sex with her. The word idiot was probably blatantly stamped on my forehead, but I didn’t care. It was worth it, more than worth it actually. 

There were no words that I could use to describe it. Just thinking about it made my dick stand and salute. She was the sweetest thing, every single inch of her. 

I remember the way she smelled, and the way her mouth made this perfect O shape when I moved quickly between her legs. I’d been with a few girls, and none of them compared. Jenny wasn’t the type of girl for a dirty one-night stand, but I couldn’t help myself when it came to her. She was five foot three inches of absolute perfection. 

Honestly, I couldn’t believe she did it. I didn’t waste one single moment talking it over. When she agreed, I moved like a jungle cat in search of his prey.

It was petty of me to take advantage like I did. It was true to my form. But one night is all I could ever have with her, so I was selfish and took what I wanted. 

There was something about her that I couldn’t resist. 

After moving back to her place, things started to get weird between us. I figured it would be that way, after my non-commitment speech. But she couldn’t possibly have wanted more with someone like me. I was hoping that by Sunday night things would’ve went back to normal, I could bug the shit out of her again, and not worry about the things we left unsaid. 

I was wrong. 

She tiptoed around me, making things thoroughly awkward. By the look on everyone’s faces at dinner, I could tell they knew something was up. You’d have to be blind and deaf not to notice it. 

When I tried to talk to her, she blew me off. Even when the two of us studied, I got nothing. She told me how much better I was doing with my English, and that was that. Something was up, but I couldn’t dwell on it. 

Sex made things complicated, but she chose to do it.

On Monday morning I drove myself to school. I wouldn’t be able to do it much considering I had a quarter of a tank of gas, and zero money. Hopefully, by the end of the week she’d let me tag along with her. Once things had a chance to blow over. 

I had this bright idea that I’d talk to Jenny’s Dad about helping me find some kind of work, but didn’t really know how to approach the conversation. Her parent’s had already done so much for me, that I wasn’t really at liberty to be asking for favors. But I just kept thinking that when the time came for me to get out of this God-forsaken town, that I’d at least need a full tank of gas, or else I’d be stuck. I’d run out of things to sell. I packed a duffle bag of things from my apartment when I left, and the rest wasn’t worth having. All I had to my name were a few pieces of clothing, my toothbrush, and a couple of odd and end things, nothing worth mentioning.

When Jenny and I got home on Sunday morning, I was carrying my only bag, and the Pearson’s were so happy I agreed to stay. I’d never met anyone like them, and I bet they’d have a difference of opinion if they knew that I’d had sex with Jenny. 

When I got to school on Monday, I went to my locker and traded out my books for first period. The halls were kind of quiet since I got there so early. I decided to skip meeting the guys at Maxwell’s. After Jett bailed out on me the other night, I figured that I’d use it as a tool for him to think I was pissed at him. I’m an evil genius that way. I wasn’t really pissed at him. He actually did me a favor. If he would’ve stuck around then I’d have never gotten with Jenny. 

I slammed my locker door closed, and headed toward the exit doors. I had some time before my first class, so I figured I’d just sit outside at the picnic tables. At least that was my plan, until Tyler stopped me in the hall. The guy seriously had a death wish. 

“What’s up Lepage?” His cocky attitude got under my skin.

“You always want to talk about my dick,” I smirked, shaking my head. “I don’t play for that team, Tyler. And if I did, you wouldn’t be on my to-do list.”

The door swung open when I gave it a shove, and I headed outside. Tyler was right on my heels. He was like a fucking tick that dug up under your skin. 

UGH.

“Haven’t seen you with Jenny lately. Did she finally realize how nasty you are?” Tyler laughed like there was a joke that I was missing or something.

“You wish.” I grinned at him over my shoulder. “Jenny is still around man, so quit wasting your time trying to get my seconds.”

His eyes narrowed. “You sleeping with her, Lepage?”

“It’s none of your damn business.” I inched closer to his chest. He may have been taller than me, but he knew I’d lay his ass out in a heartbeat. 

He started to do a slow, loud clap in front of everyone. “Never knew sweet little Jenny liked to play dirty. Good to know?” He winked before he walked off. 

I don’t know how I kept my cool. My knuckles clenched, and every part of me wanted to shove his nose up through his head. 

Such a prick. 

It wasn’t until I calmed down, that I realized what I’d done. Tyler now had the information he needed to fuck a lot of shit up. 

But worse, Jenny was standing just feet away.
