It started With A Phone Call

Chapter Twelve

"What the heck?" I said as I walked into the dining room. It was still a mess. "Where are they?" Dan asked with a confused expression. Great question, I thought to myself as I left the dining area. Everything was quiet meaning that I'd either won the bet, or both Avery and Luke had ditched. I walked around the apartment and saw that Avery's bathroom light was still on. The first aid kit was out, but it was open. After putting everything away from the bathroom, I walked over to Avery's door. There was music playing so she couldn't hear me knock. I started to worry and went inside without knocking. "Oh my God!" I screamed, which caused Dan to run towards me. "What happened?" he asked worriedly before he looked in the direction that I was. "Oh my God!" he also screamed, which startled both Avery and Luke awake. A very naked Avery and Luke that is.

"It's not what it looks like!" They said in unison. "Put some clothes on," I said before walking away. Dan stood at the door not knowing what to do. "Uh yeah. We'll talk to you in the living room," he finally said before he chased after me. I dragged Dan with me and took a seat on the smallest sofa. What the hell is going on? Did Avery cave into Luke's little game or does she like him? No, she can't like him. She would have told me if she did, right? She wouldn't hide it from me, would she?

"Don't worry Sky, I'm sure they have a good explanation for this," Dan said as he squeezed my hand. I looked into his eyes and saw a bit of doubt in them. He's probably thinking the same things I am except about Luke. "Hey guys," Luke said in his normal tone of voice as if nothing happened. "Hey, where's Avery?" I asked. Before Luke could respond Avery popped up into vision. "I'm here. So you guys want to talk?" She asked nervously. Hell yes we want to talk! I thought to myself. "Yeah, more like answers," Dan, said. Luke and Avery sat down at opposite ends of the bigger sofa and exchanged a weird look. "Ask away," said Luke. "Are you guys together?" was the first question I asked. "No," Ave answered. Luke sent her a strange look. "Well I don't know. We didn't talk about it."

"Have you two had sex before?" Dan asked this time. "No," they answered together. "So why did you have sex?" I asked really confused. This doesn't make sense. Luke answered this time. "Why does everyone have sex? Because we're attracted to each other." Avery slapped Luke's arm. "It kind of just happened," she explained. I nodded at her. "Oh come on. You know you're attracted to me," Luke teased Avery. "Yeah right. Your little friend couldn't keep up," Ave put emphasis on the word. "You didn't seem to think I was small when you were screaming my name in pure pleasure," Luke rebutted.

"Stop it you guys! You both need to grow up!" I screamed at them, which made them quickly shut up. "Sorry," they both murmured at me while looking guilty. "It's ok, you guys need to learn how to get along with each other or at least act civil and not like a bunch of wild animals," I said seriously. "He's the only baboon I see," Ave muttered under her breath, which earned her a glare from everyone. "Well I'm out of here. Thanks for dinner Sky, I'll see you soon," Luke said before walking out into the hallway. Dan just groaned.

"I guess this means I'm going too. Sorry for the mess. Will you pass by my place tomorrow?" he asked me. "Sure, I'll have to leave at 2:30 since I work at 3:00 though," I said sadly. I hate work sometimes. "I'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning then," Dan smiled before kissing me lightly. "I love you," he whispered into my ears before walking off. "I love you too," I said before locking the door. I then turned around and looked at Avery. "So are you going to tell me how it was at least?" I asked her curiously. "Sky! It was just a one time thing," she screamed, clearly embarrassed. I just smirked at her and nodded. "Fine. It was great despite the fact that he's practically brain dead." I laughed at her. "Lock your door next time you decide to sleep with him," I told Ave who scowled at me. "As if that's going to happen," she muttered and walked off to her room. I guess I'm stuck with cleaning the mess on my own.

After I finished cleaning the living room, I went straight to do my homework. I groaned as soon as I looked at the first question. This is going to take me years. After four long hours I was finished for the weekend. I checked the clock and it was 1:04. I sighed and changed into my pajamas and got ready for bed. I set my alarm for 9:30 so I would have enough sleep and enough time with Dan. I was a pretty heavy sleeper. Almost nothing could wake me up so I had to make sure my phone was always on full blast.

"Ah!" I screamed and fell off of the bed when my cellphone alarm blared next to my face. Stupid me forgot to put my phone on my dresser. I turned the alarm off before walking towards my washroom to take a cold shower so I could truly wake up. After my shower, I put on matching bra and underwear, skinny jeans, and a normal shirt. I ate breakfast quickly and washed the dishes. It was already 11:00. I stuffed my uniform into my purse and made sure I had enough bus tokens for the day. It took around half an hour to get to Dan's apartment. I ran towards the elevators after he buzzed me in. Luke was walking out of it when I got in.

"Hey, where are you off too?" I asked him quickly before the doors shut. "Just out," he replied quickly before speed walking towards the doors. I smirked and pushed the button in the elevator. He was so going to see Avery. Dan's condominium was only 15 stories tall so the elevator ride was much quicker than at my apartment. It had only been a week since the last time that Dan and I had truly been together, but it felt like much longer. I was feeling really in the mood so I basically jumped on him when he opened the door.

"Nice to see you too," he said while smirking and closing the door behind us. After an hour of pure bliss and another hour of just hanging out, I had to get changed into my work clothes and quickly leave. "I wish I could drop you off, but you know why I can't," Dan said sadly. I understood why. It wouldn't really look good if my own calculus teacher dropped me off at work on a Sunday. Especially when it's at a big mall.

"I know, but it's alright. The bus isn't that horrible," I joked before giving him one last heat-felt kiss. "I love you cutie," I said while winking at him and walking towards the door. I could imagine him grimacing at his pet name. "I love you too, shorty," he said back before I turned to glare at him. "I'm 5"8. That's far from being short for a girl. You're just a six foot something giant!" I retorted before laughing and running towards the elevator with a smile on my face. I really needed that time with Dan.

After work I was completely exhausted. Avery and I worked from 3:00 to 10:00 today. It's not that bad since we only work Saturday afternoons and Sunday Mornings for a total of fifteen hours a week. It's enough for rent and entertainment.

I quickly changed into my pajamas that I had previously laid out on my bed and brushed my teeth after trying my hair up. I realized that I left my agenda on my desk. I went to put it away in my bag when a piece of paper fell out of it. The paper said "Garrett Hastings" on it wish a phone number beside it. "What the hell?" I said out loud. Maybe Avery got one too? I walked over to her room and slowly opened the door to see Avery passed out on her bed and lightly snoring. I'll just ask her in the morning, I thought to myself as a quietly made my way back to my room and fell asleep thinking about my time today with Dan.
