I don't belong here.

Nora’s P.O.V

Arrgh! My body felt so delicate, pain taken over everything. I couldn’t bear to open my eyes; it hurt so bad, did I fall into a mirror or something because I feel like glass is digging in to my retinas. I pull myself up; maybe sitting up will make me feel more human? Nope wrong….I sat quietly for a second waiting from last night’s alcohol to settle back down, what did I do?, because I couldn’t make any recollection of the events after running from Xposed. I briefly glanced down and my heart stopped, I was fucking naked!! I covered myself with the duvet conveniently draped over my ankles, great so whoever lives here has seen my ass and probably more, shit! And yes this was not my house, it was considerably tinier compared to my room and I had a window that led out to balcony whereas the one over in the far part of the room is securely attached to the work from what my eyes can make out in the painful state they are currently. SO brilliant, im naked in a random house, I can’t remember who I went out with last, I feel like one of the victims out of saw, you know the one with the girl and a key in her eye or whatever it was my eyes are in that much clip, which one was it ? Arrgh it’s too early for this shit.., matt would know…really Nora, stop this, it’s never happening again move on, well from my current state maybe I have, but now the real question was I going to regret who I moved on with?

I slowly crept out of the bed, you never know I could have been seriously fucked up last night, I could have been kidnapped by Adam or some twisted fuck, I need to be quite maybe this was the only opportunity id have to escape. I searched for my jeans, over by the window ok….great there’s a rip near the crouch, fucking brill, maybe I did fuck somebody…bugger…I found my bra and panties after they were in good conditions just closer to the door, whoever it was I guess did waste any time getting me undressed….now my top, where the fuck is that, I searched through the clothes plastered on the floor but no use, I found a blue shirt on the back of the door, I slung that on, if this is my time to run im sure they won’t miss it and eh it don’t look half bad, after finishing checking myself out I creeped out of the room, looking both ways as if it was a road and slowly approached the staircase, yep still nothing is seeming familiar, the smell of roasted coffee beans filled the house, mmm I could do with a cuppa, but the door ain’t that far, maybe even if it isn’t a psycho , it’s still embarrassing doing the walk of shame, believe me done my fair share and it’s not a great feeling walking out of someone’s house like yeah thanks for the fuck, see you around….umm no, I saw my heels by the door, if I run down the stairs grab them and leg it will be good, I think, here we go.

I slowly approached the staircase, taking every step quietly and with ease, any sudden movement could get me spotted and make me feel sick again, fucking brill…I hit the bottom step and was good, I turned to my left where the smell of coffee was coming from, god that smelt amazing but no, Nora just head for the door you’ll be good then go home and die in silenced before going to Zacky’s, wait was I even still going to that after my encounter with matt? Was I crazy, nope but hung over defiantly….ill cross that one when I come to it and feel more human. I looked in the kitchen to see the silhouette of a man with longish hair in the kitchen on the phone to someone, my eyes were still fucked so I couldn’t tell who he was, great and I was supposed to get out the door without causing attention with these sorry excuses for eyeballs, no way in hell was this going to work, fuck it!! I pegged it to the door no way of telling if I was heading for something as my vision was fucked, and with that my eyes deceived me as I tripped over something and plummeted to the floor, brilliant.

And with that I heard shuffling of feet heading towards me….I see the silhouette come closer and see the outline of his lips moving, then again with that hair I could gone lesbian for the evening for all I know, his or its voice was familiar deep and sexy, mmm maybe it wasn’t a bad thing hooking up eh?

But it sounded so familiar, and the familiarity was giving me a weird sense but I couldn't put my finger on whoever the heel was in front of me “Hey Nora, where you heading so fast” he held my hand and pulled me up, my hand landing on his chest and his arm round my waist, haven’t been this close to a guy for a while, was odd “I don’t know my head is fucked, so is most of my senses, who is this?” I point to his chest earning a chuckle “Its Charlie silly”

and then it hit me “What?!” in shock I jerked away and stumbled over the back of the couch, how I don’t know but I did and I could feel the blush hitting my cheeks as I looked up over the back at him “Hey..” I waved shyly, oh god, the nakedness most of the time means sex and he was only wearing shorts and no top, mmm I would love to run my tongue of his abs…. wake up Nora!! Did I really just say that?

“I fucked my boss!!” I screeched, knowing I was the only one who would understand me.

“What?” he chuckled coming closer, I scrambled to my feet, I hid my face in my hands I felt so embarrassed, how was I ever gonna be able to go back to work, knowing we’d done the dirty, he smiled and held his hands up as he came over to me “What did you say Nora?” he held on to my arms and motioned me to talk “You heard me Charlie!!” he laughed even more “It’s not funny, I can just see Dean and Luke’s faces now, and not to mention our relationship in work, damn you alcohol !!”

“Nora calm it, nothing happened I swear” he made a cross over his heart, a wave of relief washed over me and I relaxed.

“Phew”

“hey would it have been that bad, I would have rocked your world “ he winked as he went into the kitchen and poured us both a coffee I sat down on a stool by his counter and watched him.

“So I guess you don’t remember much?” he smirked as I shook my head “Do you remember bumping into gates?” I what!

“UMM NO!!” oh shit…”What happened Charlie?” he leaned over the counter with his coffee in hand "Nothing…..much” he smirked so I punched him in the arm.

“Jeez calm it and I’ll explain”…im waiting ….god im impatient …

”So we were sat in Johnny’s , you were pretty gone and I wasn’t far behind, you were talking about how now you’re a stripper and you didn’t give a shit about opinions and people can go suck on you imaginary dick, including matt”….

“I said that?” he nodded “That’s only the half of it babe, then this song came on, you said it was your favourite to dance to umm up all night by hinder I think it was” god he could remember all this…fuck me sideways.

“Then jimmy, Johnny and gates walked in, as we were dancing in their clear view you panicked…” sounds like me “And?..” he grinned “you grabbed me by my shirt and planted one heck of a kiss on me, think you even used tongue, we were at it for a bit, think someone was enjoying it” he chuckled “Oh no…so we did do something then..”

“Yeah if you count using my sexy lips to draw attention away from us so u didn’t get seen by the guy u still might Have feelings for but don’t know as you still have feelings for his best friend who you were in a relationship with…then yep” oh damn it “Oh shut it hart, you don’t know nothing darling” I drank some coffee as I heard him chuckle to himself.

“You basically told me everything how you needed with ,matt to everything with Brian, it felt like an episode of gossip girl at one point with all the drama you talked about” I felt so embarrassed….he knew everything and I made myself look like a tit and kissed my hot boss, damn it!!

“Im so sorry for dragging you into this or whatever I did”

“It’s okay, I used you as well, you didn’t have all the fun” he smirked.

“Huh?”

“Gates and all that didn’t hang about long, gates seemed in a mood so he got smashed then fucked of with his posse, afterwards we went to the pier and you were jumping on the benches and shouting that you were a bird, I was laughing so much I didn’t realise that heading towards us in the opposite direction was my ex, she screwed me over and hate being near her, every time she sees me she feels the need to say hi, as she approached I pulled you off of the bench and pulled you into a kiss, very similar to the one you did when gates arrived, she eventually walked off and we stopped, after that you seemed dazed so we walked back here and we went to sleep”

so we used each other to keep peeps off of our backs, maybe I need to go drinking with Charlie more often, from the stories it was certain we had a good one.

“Ha ok but that still doesn’t explain why I was naked”

“Ahh yes, when we walked in the door, you were whinging like a child that you were tired so I flung u over my shoulder and took you upstairs, how I managed to without falling over and breaking something or someone I’ll never know, as we got upstairs I went to leave you to get changed and I was setting up the spare room which I was supposed to sleep in so u could have my room, when I went back in you were there in your bra and jeans, then I don’t know what happened we starting kissing and then something nearly happened, hence the split in the crotch” he pointed to my jeans, so something nearly happened, so we weren’t innocent completely this is just getting better and better.

“I pulled your jeans of breaking them in the process, sorry, then laid you down on the bed, I stripped you and vice versa, we both we close to proceeding then it went black, I guess we fell asleep, I woke butt ass naked and to find you next to me, waking up to a lovely view of your ass by the way” he smirked, just like Brian would do….typical lad.
“So we nearly did but we didn’t and we are cool right?” he nodded “Thank fuck for that...” he furrowed his brow “What?”

“Would it have been that bad Nora?”

“Yeah , work would be awkward, im confused about matt and its obvious you know about brain now as well, it’s complicated Charlie, in other circumstances maybe” he smiled and pulled me close to his chest, stumbling from the stool as he did so, too close for comfort maybe? “It wouldn’t be that bad, office sex would be fun, and as we would be the only ones there it would be exciting”

“Yet nothing will happen, sorry Charlie” I smiled and kissed his cheek as he let go of me and returned to his coffee

“You still love him then?”

“Huh?”

“Matt, after everything you still can’t forget about him cans you? You have two other lads after you and no matter what you stay faithful as much as you can to him, even after what he did...”he smiled, did he know about why we broke up, maybe I said more than I should have last night , oops.

“I won’t say anything Nora I promise, matt’s not a bad guy, yes he messed up, and it was awful him hitting you but everyone messes up and all those times we had BBQ’s round yours and when he’d pick you up at work, the look he’d give you was so full of love and hope, everyone cocks up…. I’ll keep it to myself…it stays with me” I guess I did tell him…

”Thanks Charlie, you truly are sweet” I ran my hand through his hair and then hugged him, damn why did I have so much shit with the other guys, maybe this would have worked or been fun to try anyway, but he was right, no matter how much it hurt what he did to me, I ran away from him last night not because I was scared but because I know I wanted to run straight back in his arms but im too stubborn to admit that’s what I wanted, should a girl really want to run back to a guy who hit her?

I know I didn’t with Adam, I tried my hardest to escape even though that didn’t go to plan, but still why was it so hard to let go of matt? Did I truly love him?

“Well Thankyou for the bed and the great night we had that I don’t remember!” I laughed and so did he “But I must be off, see you tomorrow bright and early?” he shook his head

“Nah, after last night, you need a week or two off”

“But nothing happened?”

“No you numpty, not because of that, because of what’s going on with matt and Brian, your confused in here” he poked my forehead “and here” and pointed to my chest “and I know tonight will cause more confusion, you need some time to yourself, when you have done so, come back”

tonight? Oh shit Zacky’s birthday, forgot about that, alcohol does that! I guess I mentioned that too last night, note to self, learn to shut one’s mouth when paralytic…. he smiled and pulled me into a hug, god he smelt good, a mix between smokes and JD, my two most favourite things in the world.

“Thankyou Charlie..” “You’re welcome baby girl im always here; I am only across the road remember!” We burst into laughter before I grabbed my stuff and headed out the door.

As I walked across the road, stumbling a little, guess I wasn’t complete sober just yet, the closer I got to my front door the more I could make out the black blob perched on my front door step, the more I walked the more eager my curiosity got to found out who the hell was curled up by my door. I reached the start of my garden path and stopped.

“Brian?”

He looked up at me and smiled, I walked over as he stood up, what the hell was he doing here? he did he notice me last night?

He grabbed me and pulled me into a bear hug “Whoa buddy” I chuckled and felt him nuzzle in to my neck “Hey everything ok?” he pulled away and held my face in his palms.

“I should be asking you the same thing, what were you thinking doing the disappearing act on us, on me” I saw sadness cloud over his big brown beauties, god I loved his eyes there was something intoxicating about the way they twinkled.

“I had too, hey I’ve had a long night…fancy going inside?” he smirked “Someone doing the walk of shame eh?” he cocked his head to the side and I shoved him slightly “Im not you babe, nah I crashed at Charlie’s after a night of solid drinking and more”
remembering I basically told him my entire life story last night. “More?” he winked at me as I pushed him through the door and into my house. I shut the door behind me and turned to see Brian doing his typical hand through hair movement, it was then I noticed his knuckles all bloody and bruised.

“Brian?!” moved over to him and grabbed his knuckles “What did you do?” his jaw clenched at the mention “Matt...”
