Change My Ways

Elody's POV

I had only been asleep for about an hour, when I heard someone coming in the apartment. I sat bolt upright in my bed, immediately regretting it, as my head was still spinning from drinking earlier. I was debated on my escape plan, but calmed down once I heard Juliet's voice.

"Shhh..." I heard her whisper to whoever was with her. Oh joy, it's going to be a long night.

For the next hour and a half, I was forced to listen to their escapades, and Juliet moaning, through the walls. It sounded like someone was getting attacked in the next room.

I woke up, the next morning, with a terrible headache. I look over at the clock, it's only nine. Thank God it is Saturday, and that means I don't have to work, otherwise I would be in deep shit. I lie in my bed recalling last nights events. Brian didn't seem too happy with me, when they dropped me off last night, although I don't know why. Maybe I will call him, and see what he's up to today, but maybe I'll do that later, after I take a shower, and try to get rid of this damned headache.

Brian's POV

I wake up to my phone buzzing on my nightstand. I answer it, still half asleep. "Hello?"

"Hey, Brian." I hear Elody's voice through the line. "I was wondering if you'd want to meet up for lunch today."

"Umm... I don't know..." I say, still wondering about what happened last night.

"If you have other plans, that's fine. I'll catch up with you some other time, then." She says, ready to hang up.

"How about dinner tonight, instead?" I ask, thinking that it will give me a chance to get to the bottom of things. "We have band rehearsal this afternoon."

"That's fine. Do you want to meet at..."

"I'll pick you up." I cut her off. "Six thirty sound okay?"

"That sounds great."

"I'll see you then." I smile to myself, and hang up the phone.

Over dinner, I can't keep my mind off of asking her about what happened at the bar last night, but I just don't know how to word it without coming across as a total asshole.

"So..." I start. "About last night..."

"If you're referring to the dancing, I get a little frisky sometimes, when I drink. I'm hoping you don't think I'm some sort of slut now." She looks at me, as she sips her wine.

"I don't think you're a slut. I... uhh... I get a little testy when I drink, and when I saw you dancing with Zack, I couldn't keep my emotions in check. I was afraid to go back out to the dance floor after that, because I didn't know what I'd do."

"Oh. I'm sorry, Brian. I didn't mean to make you think..."

"It's fine." I smile at her, and take a swig of my drink. "We're friends, we all are, and I don't want to rush you into anything more than that."

"Thanks for understanding, Brian." She smiles back.

After dinner, and drinking probably more than we needed to, I decide that we should probably call a cab to get home. I don't want to take a chance on driving. I track down a cab, and we get in. I start to give the driver Elody's address, but she stops me.

"I know this is going to sound crazy, but can I stay at your place tonight? Juliet is driving me nuts, and I can't get any sleep."

"Yeah, I guess that would be okay." I say, and give the driver my address instead.

On the ride home, I can barely keep my eyes off of Elody. I don't know what's come over me, besides the drinking, but she looks really sexy tonight, and I'm having a hard time controlling myself again. I think she must be feeling it, too, because when we arrive at my house, and stumble inside, she pushes me up against the wall, and presses her lips to mine.

"I've been waiting for you to do that." I growl at her, and pick her up. She wraps her legs around me, as I carry us over to the couch.

"I want you really bad right now, Bri." She says, as she stares up at me. She bites her lip, and I just lose it. I practically rip off her dress, and she fumbles with unbuttoning my pants.

Once all of our clothes are on the floor, I waste no time getting inside of her. She moans in my ear, as I set a steady pace. I can feel the tension building up inside of me, and I know it won't be long.

"Yes!" She screams, just as I release inside of her. I pull out, and lay beside her on the couch, pulling her close to me. Once her breathing slows, I look over and see that she's asleep. I pull a blanket over us, and drift away myself.
