Chapter 12 - Mistakes & New Deals

“Wait!” I hiss, edging open the door and creeping out into the hallway. I shuffle close to Everett’s bedroom, I see a light under his door and silently fist pump my hand in the air. Game on bitch! I go back to my bedroom, shutting the door quietly before taking a deep breath and turning around to face Tanner. My eyes widen in shock as I see him standing there in nothing but his boxers. Breathe Callie!  I close my mouth quickly, trying hard not to stare at him. He walks towards me, like a predator stalking its prey. He grabs my waist, pulling me into him, moving his lips to mine. I kiss him back fiercely, no emotion affecting my actions. He grips my waist tighter and I wrap my legs around him, the back of my dress riding up past my ass. Oops! Tanner takes his hands off my waist and pulls the rest of my dress off, leaving me in only my bra and underwear. Nice. Tanner lowers me onto my bed, and then slowly climbs on top of me, careful not to put all his weight on me. I run my hand down his chest as he slides his hand up and down my bare sides, breaking away from our kiss I trail kisses along his jaw, causing him to moan loudly in my ear. He presses himself closer to me, moving his lips to mine hungrily, forcing his tongue into my mouth. We stay like this until Tanner is ripped off of me, by Everett. I watch, stunned as Everett slams Tanner against the wall, gripping his throat tightly in one hand. Everett was only in his boxers aswell, if this was a different situation it would definitely be my cup of tea! I jump off the bed and run at Everett, slamming my fists into his back angrily.

“Let him go!” I scream, trying to pull him away from a near blue faced Tanner. Everett lets him go and whirls around to look at me, anger clear on his face. I try to cover myself but Everett wasn’t even looking at my near naked body, he quickly scoops me up and flings me over his shoulder harshly. “Everett!” I cry, repeatedly hitting his lower back with my fists. He basically throws me into his room, shutting the door in my face. I hear a click and realise that he has locked the door, I grip the door knob in one of my hands and try to open it anyway. Nothing. I sigh loudly and sit on the edge of Everett’s bed, putting my face in my hands, I can hear Everett’s booming voice yelling at Tanner, not loud enough for me to understand. I hear the front door open and slam shut, knowing Everett was coming for me next. This is all my fault! If I wasn't so stupid to agree to this, nothing would be happening. The door unlocks and swings open, revealing a very tense and half naked Everett. I look straight to the ground, feeling guilty even though I shouldn't need to.

"What the hell was that?" Everett growls, I look up at him slowly.

"I don't have to explain myself to you!" I snap, standing up from his bed.

"You're in my house!" He throws his hands up in the air dramatically.

"I can be with anyone I want!" I yell, moving my hands to my hips. I realise i'm standing alone with Everett in only my bra and underwear. If only he wasn't so angry.. I watch him run a hand through his hair, sighing angrily.

"With Tanner?" He asks me, something flashes in his eyes. Hurt?

"What does it matter?"

"He's my fucking best friend!" Everett yells at me.

"It meant nothing!" I snap, watching his face fall in confusion.

"What do you mean nothing?" He asks me, anger still raging in his tone.

"We were just fooling around, no strings attached. Hurting him was uncalled for! How bad is he?!"

"I hit him a few times but he deserved it!" Everett growls.

"No! He didn't!" I snap. "If anyone deserves to get hit it's you! For fucking with people!"

"Fucking with people?"
