Taking Chances (Pleasant Grove Book 1) by Tara Lee (12)

Chapter 13

CHARLI

OW, JUST… WOW, I THINK to myself. Eli justWtouched me again and it was incredible. I have no words. It was magical. Just like the other times, expect this time his fingers made me orgasm. I touch my lips where he kissed me. The tingle is still there. He is an amazing kisser.

I had let him touch me and I didn’t give it a second thought. What does that make me?
Am I as naïve as the women before me?
His touch is rough but gentle, his fingers on my skin had me losing control.
As he was touching me, all I wanted to do was tug his shirt up and feel his rock-hard abs underneath. I had gripped his shirt so hard I nearly thought I was going to pull it over his head and just lick his chest.
I know we need to be careful. If Jensen finds out, he will kill him and probably lock me away somewhere.
I want more of what we just did, and I don’t want my big brother ruining it for me.
I make my way back into the bar and search for my friends. Have they left?
I spot the guys at the table they always sit at, so I walk over to them.
Carter sees me first.
“Well look who's joined us, where have you been off to?”
“I went to get some fresh air it was too hot in here,” I reply to him.
He just gives me a knowing look and smile.
“Hey, did you see Eli on your travels anywhere?” Lucas asks.
“He’s gone MIA.”
“Doesn't he always?” Jensen laughs.
So, they don't know about what we just did.
I’m not ready to let anyone know.
“Here he comes, she mustn't have been very good,” Tyler jokes.
I feel my face go red. I swallow hard and don't look at Eli coming towards the table.
Would he really think that?
“Where did you get to?” Jensen asks?
“Nowhere, just chatting up a chick outside,” Eli replies.
My face feels warm, is he talking about me? Or did he really chat some other chick up after I left him?
This is hard, he is a player, can I trust him?
“Okay, cool. Wondered where you went. You just disappeared,” Jensen said.
“So, the chick?”
Lucas said raising his eyebrows in question.
“Was she hot?”
Eli gives a little chuckle.
“Dude, I’m not kissing and telling.”
“Charli, you okay? You seem quiet,” Lucas asks.
“Yeah,” I say.
“You’re sure you’re okay?” Jensen seems concerned.
I nod at him.
Just chill, Charli.
A blonde I don't recognize comes up to Eli and wraps her arms around him, whispering something in his ear as she kisses her way up his neck.
He looks at her and gives her a wink, he whispers something back to her, and she seemed to like what he says and pulled him onto the dance floor.
I mentally roll my eyes.
The way they are dancing, like they were practically having sex. The girl is rubbing on Eli while his hands are groping her ass, he is enjoying it.
I look away. I can't look any longer. I am going to be sick. I let him touch me, and now he is practically rubbing himself on this girl, and groping her in public.
I need to leave. I can't stand here any longer and witness anymore.
“I'm going to head off,” I say.
“I'll come with you.” Aria says.
“Are you getting a taxi?” Jensen asks.
“Yeah, we will. See you later”.
“Text me to let me know you got home safe, Charlotte,” Jensen says.
“Okay, I will,”
I kiss him on the cheek.
We head out the door. I don't bother telling Eli goodbye.
Getting into the taxi with Aria my mind wanders to Eli and the blonde.
My stomach is in knots .I don't want to cry, but my tears come, anyway.
I am just another fuck to Eli and we haven't even had sex. Maybe it’s a good thing we haven’t.
Aria assumes I am upset because I have a crush on Eli and he was dancing with some skank on the dance floor, but she doesn’t know what really happened. She hugs me and tells me I am way prettier than any skank he will ever hook up with. He doesn’t know what he’s missing. Her reassurances do nothing to make me feel better.
I get home and just want to jump into bed, but I need a shower.
Stripping off in the bathroom, I turn on the shower. Before I can jump in I hear, my phone ding in my bedroom.
I'll get it later. It’s probably Jensen, making sure I got home safely. He’s a worrier—I do love that boy. I’ll message him once I get in bed.
After my shower and a cry, I feel refreshed.
I settle into bed and grab my phone I better send a text to my brother or he would be ringing me non-stop or he’d be here banging on my door.
I check my phone. The message isn’t from Jensen but from Eli.
Why is Eli messaging me?
Reading the message, it says:
Hey just checking you got home safe?? Your brother is worried. And that wasn't what it looked like. I had to do that so they wouldn't catch onto us. Jensen would have been suspicious if I didn't go with that chick.
Okay, so he is trying to explain the scene with the girl on the dance floor. Am I over reacting? Still, my heart hurts. I send a quick reply to Jensen so he doesn’t worry.
I’m home safe.
His replies, Thanks for letting me know see you soon love you.
I don't know what to reply back to Eli so I just text him,
Jensen knows I'm home safe. Don’t worry about it.
