Everly’s POV

“Tell me what the hell you meant” I demanded, Brian had his back to me but I didn’t move.
I was staring at his back and felt anger and hurt still inside me. How dare he say I was impossible to please, that was a lie. And I wasn’t irrational either, that asshole!

“What do you think it meant, Eve?” Brian sighed heavily as if I just wouldn’t understand what he was telling me all along. His voice sounded gravelly and full of disdain.

I licked my lips, waiting for his reply, I knew this already went out of hand, but I couldn’t back down now. I had to know what the hell he was talking about, what this all meant!
What this whole evening meant!

“You don’t see rationally when it comes to me. You never have… or well, in the beginning you might, but since a year, you don’t. No matter what I do, I’m the bad guy, but aside from the fact that I have a dick and like sex, I’m actually kind of fucking lost on what I ever did to you.”

I stared at the back of his head, my angry thoughts and bottled memories piecing into an answer.

“’Put yourself out of your misery,’” I hissed, while I finally began to shove my wet dress down my body. The words that had been haunting me for over a year now, finally slipped from my mouth.

“I heard you say it to Chris at his birthday party, Brian. About a year ago. He was miserable cause you guys were back on this big tour, and he couldn’t go, his job had declined his promotion and he pulled you aside. I was around the corner when you told him he could be fucking any woman he wanted if he just ended it with me. If he just put himself out of his misery” Fresh tears started to build and my voice was shaking.

“And guess what? He asked for a break the next week and during that break, he came close to cheating on me with Tyler. I wish I could rewind my life till before that fucking break up because everything was fine before, and afterwards it all went to shit” I finally let my thoughts all out. I never talked to anyone about it, not even Val knew the whole thing, no one knew…

“Is that explanation enough for you?!” I demanded furiously, my emotions out of control, that I didn’t even flinch when Brian suddenly turned around to face me as I stood there in a soaked bra and panties.

Brian’s blazing eyes were nowhere on my body – they locked intensely on my eyes as a stare challenge.

“Fucking hell, Eve, it wasn’t unprompted.” Brian let out and I frowned “What wasn’t?”

“What you heard that night. I said it only because Chris was bitching to me for weeks by that point how he made a mistake. How settling down so fast made him realize how much pussy was still out there. He was the only person standing in his way of being single but if he wanted to fuck things up, I told him to go fucking ahead. To get rid of the best thing that he had going. And I’m guessing those were the crucial words you didn’t hear that night. All that said I didn’t cause your damned break, Eve. I didn’t cause all the problems that happened during your break and whatever they were, I didn’t cause the ones that happened after so maybe it’s time to stop using me as a freaking excuse.” Brian hissed, taking a heavy step forward “And while we’re getting things straight here, let me tell you again that I didn’t buy that necklace to get you in bed. I’m not trying to fuck you. Don’t get me wrong, I want to. I’ve wanted to for a long goddamned while and I’ve pictured you in bed more times than you want to imagine, but trust me, if I was trying to fuck you, Eve, you would know.” Brian growled, the heat of his words coating my wet skin.

“Now are there any assumptions you have made about me that you’d like disputed or are we fucking done here?”

I wet my lips, the air in the room feeling too thick to breathe.

Shit
Fucking hell…

I should have known, that thought struck me suddenly. I really should have. Considering I was hardly surprised to hear it now, I should have at least suspected Chris was the bigger asshole.

The whole time, the man I forced myself to believe was so perfect was actually still talking with Tyler, when he said he wasn’t. Everything she probably told me, had been true, and I just didn’t want to believe it, thinking I knew it better, trusting Chris…

He had never stopped wondering about all the women… or as Brian said it pussy out there. He always wanted to be on tour with the guys, wanted Brian’s place, was jealous he had the possibilities, had the women… while Chris… only had me.

I let myself stay blind, because I thought I needed him…

“I’m done” I finally said, my throat tight, my chest weighed in shame as I thought that one incomplete memory had skewed my every future impression of Brian.

My mouth opened and closed a couple of times but not sound emerged, I swallowed thickly, until and “I’m sorry” finally came out.

I coughed a little and repeated myself, to make sure Brian heard me “I’m sorry. I was wrong… I.. guess I was irrational.” I whispered, pushing my wet hair of my shoulders and then meeting his eyes.

“But I don’t think I am that hard to please” I gave him a shy smile and Brian lifted his eyes to me. “Is that right?” He asked, that known smirk on his lips. The huskiness of his voice leaving goosebumps on my skin.

He moved forward, so close that my breasts were pressed against his hard body. “You asking me to try?”

My lip quivered, my pulse was hammering, he hooked a finger into my panties and smiled at me “Say the word and I’ll give you as much pleasure as you want.” My breathes shaky as a result to his words I said “Do it”

I had barely the words out when Brian already crashed his lips down on mine, leaving me speech- and breathless.

Brian’s POV

I walked out a cigarette in hand, and lighted it up, then I took a long satisfying drag and inhaled deeply.

I watched through the glass windows how the party inside was going on. I had a small smile on my face as I watched Eve run around with a about a dozen empty glasses in her arms trying to get them in one piece to the kitchen.

She made this secret party for Chris and organized everything on her own, I knew that Val had asked to help her but she wanted to do it all herself and just told us to be here and not say a word. So we listened to what the woman said, you better not get on her shit list…

At least that was what I thought, not knowing that soon I would be, and regretting it every day, without knowing what it really was that pissed her off.

I was impressed that she did all the work, I mean, she was still working fulltime, she was a business woman so called, working in a big fancy restaurant and then she was doing the whole things at home with the apartment, and organizing a party all alone, that was not something you could easily do, especially when the person you are living with shouldn’t hear anything about it before hand.

I imagined how I would have reacted to all that. I probably would have kissed her senseless seeing all the work she had put into all this, I mean… that woman was fucking multitalented in about everything.

And the way Chris had reacted coming home to all the food and decorations, all his friends jumping out and celebrating with him seemed a little… too less for my taste. I mean I could only speak from my point of view and I would have gone crazy with pride and joy if a woman had gone to so much trouble for me, while Chris had barely said a thank you and kissed his girl.

But maybe I was overreacting with all, and maybe my side was tinted with a little… just a little selfishness and jealousy, I was trying to cover my feelings for the woman, but it was hard, and getting harder every time I saw her, because somehow the feeling of wanting her for myself was brewing inside of me.

“Something funny?” I heard Chris voice beside me and turned to face him. “Just watched Everly trying to manage all the party stuff going on…” I chuckled and Chris nodded, though he looked more absent.

“Ah yeah…” Chris sighed and I frowned. “Everything okay with you?”
“Yeah… and no.. I mean, you remember when I told you a week ago where I wasn’t sure how this would all go… if this was you know… where I wanted it to go…” Chris asked and I almost groaned.

Yes, he had told me a week ago or even more how he wasn’t sure that this was what he wanted, that he sometimes felt tied down, when I couldn’t understand him. I always told him how he should be lucky having someone by his side who loved him like Eve did, but he didn’t really seem to hear me, or not wanting to hear me.

“You know, Brian… Maybe I made a mistake… With settling down so fast…I mean seeing you and the guys, getting all those pussy. I am missing out… I could have that many women too.” The need to punch some sense into him was big, but I refused to let it slip.

“You don’t know what you are talking about, man. We all were lucky to have someone to love in our life. Sure it’s fun in the beginning, man… you know we all love women and sex, but look at Matt, how happy he and Val are. That’s what every one of us is really looking for. And you found it, man.” I stayed honest, he was my friend, even though the words of him finally letting Eve go were on the tip of my tongue.

“You say that, because you have all the pussy you want… You can choose and take home whoever you want, I haven’t seen you have a real relationship in years, Haner.” Chris said with an evil twinkle in his eye and I nodded “Well, I haven’t found someone like you” My eyes darted back inside the house, but I couldn’t see Eve now. I threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped onto it.

“Damn it Chris, of course you could be fucking any woman you wanted if you just ended it with Eve. If you just put yourself out of this misery” I said but the words felt wrong, I couldn’t understand how he could be planning on doing that, and when I saw Chris eyes meet mine and light up I quickly added “You know, you are the only person standing in you way of being single, but if you want to fuck things up go ahead... if you really plan of getting rid of the best thing that you ever had going on, man… I would think about it carefully, because someone like her, you won’t ever find again, mark my words.”
