Chapter 26 | Seduce Me
Giggles. I heard giggled coming from Luke's room and I felt my throat go dry. No, it must be his sister or mom. I marched up to his room and opened the door.
A naked girl sprawled out on his bed, barely covered by the messy sheets around her.
"Shit," I heard a deep voice say.
My eyes darted to where the sound came from and a wet Luke was walking out of the bathroom with a towel loosely draped around his waist.
"Double shit." The girl said as she tried to cover herself.
"So this is how much you like me? Is this what you wanted out of me since the beginning? Keith told me that you know about me. Here I thought that you actually cared about me but look at you. You're disgusting! I can't believe I felt guilty for kissing Keith!" My glare turned from Luke to the girl who was still in his bed.
"You've been gone since morning and you actually think I believe that the only thing you did with him was kiss? I'm not stupid Blake. Don't blame me for your carelessness. If you really cared you wouldn't disappear without an explanation. I waited for hours but you were a no show."
I scoffed at him.
"I wasn't with him! Something came up and I couldn't tell anyone." I yelled at him.
"Sure, I'm not fucking stupid Blake." He folded his arms and clearly looked like he was down with me.
"You asshole! What the fuck are you doing with her? What about all those times you stared at things with boobs? Don't act like your the innocent one! Enjoy your STD's bitches." I said slammed the door of his room behind me. I bolted out of his house and I nearly stumbled on the ground when Keith caught me in his hands.
"Shut up." I told him before he could even say anything. He helped me up and raised his hands up in surrender.
"I'm a fucking mess." I said as we left his driveway.
"A fucking hot mess." he corrected. Even with all the anger raging inside of me I couldn't help but let out a small laugh.
"Make me feel numb." I told him as I wrapped my hand around his.
"Wake up losers!" I heard a familiar voice say. I slowly propped myself up on the bed and opened my eyes. It was incredibly bright.
"What the hell happened in here? If mom sees this she'll def kill you bro." Natasha said as she knocked down beer bottles. Keith let out a huge yawn before he flashed me a smile. "Morning princess," he said, ignoring Natasha.
"Good morning guys." I said as I stretched out of bed. I wish I could forget last night but I couldn't but going overboard on smoking and drinking did help somehow or maybe we thought it did.
"Dads not here and mom just left so its safe for you guys now." She said as she started to pick the beer bottles. I helped her while Keith gathered the cigarette buds.
"Thanks sissy." Keith said as he lazily worked.
"How much do you know?" I asked Natasha.
"Every single detail. He really is head over heels for you." She pointed out. I gave Keith a sad smile. How much more could I lie and pretend?
"Oh," I said.
We went down to the kitchen and flipped through every cabinet before we decided to go out for breakfast. We picked up Bellamy and headed for a breakfast place that opened about a week ago. Up till now the radio was turned up to the maximum volume. We were stared at but for some reason none of us had anything to say so we ignored people and just phased out into our own spaces in our heads.
I had a lot to talk about with Keith. I ran over our conversation from last night and there was still so much that didn't make sense. The biggest confusion was how he already knew me. I'm sure if I already did I would've known. I guess I'll just have to wait for a while. As much as I needed answers, I needed a break. I needed some time to understand everything that was happening around me.
We walked into the slightly filled restaurant. The sunlight perfectly shone inside and many old to middle aged people sat by the window taking in the sun.
"We'll order, grab a seat." Bellamy told them. "Okay, chocolate pancakes for me." Natasha said whilst squinting her eyes at the menu at the front. "Lots of maple syrup for me." Keith said before they turned to find a table.
Bellamy guided me to the counter where there was a small line. "I'm sorry for keeping everything a secret from you. I swear I would've told you everything the minute I saw you get out of your car when we first met but Keith made me swear not to tell you anything." He said. I didn't know what to feel. Could he stop being so nice and confusing?
"It's okay, I understand. Thanks for not telling anyone. I can't thank you enough for that." I said.
He quickly out his arm around me and squeezed my arm as an attempt at a side hug. I looked to smile at him but he was already smiling. "Don't worry about it." He said. I wanted to melt into his warm, electrifying touch but we were next in turn and had to pull apart.
Me and Bellamy slipped into one side of the booth while Keith sat in front of me with Natasha.
Natasha cleared her throat, grabbing our attention."Did you talk to Luke?" Natasha asked and I sighed.
"She told him and his bimbo to have fun with their STD's." Keith grinned and I couldn't help but laugh at my stupid statement.
"I swear it sounded better last night." I defended as Natasha stifled a laugh though she clearly looked confused.
Bellamy raised his brow at me and smirked. "Not bad Jane." He commented.
"What do you mean?" she sang and I rolled my eyes at her.
"I went to his house in the middle of the night to find some girl in his bed and he casually blamed me for his behavior." I briefed her.
Bellamy muttered something under his breath which I didn't understand while Natasha blankly stared at me when I told them the entire thing that happened.
When she asked why I disappeared for a while Keith and Bellamy jumped in and gave a her a story which she instantly believed. I told Keith about the cheating thing last night when we were drinking.
"Are you going to go home now?" she asked when we were filing inside Keith's car.
"I have to face my sister and make some calls. I haven't ate candy since last morning so I need to down some of that. I hope mom wasn't home last night." I mumbled the last part.
"Brianna took care of your mom. She was pissed at you but I think you did the right thing. He's not worth it." Natasha said.
"Yea," I zoned out after that. I waved at anyone and entered the house. I went straight to my room and plugged my phone into the charger.
Brianna walked into my room and I could see Chris behind her.
"He cheated on me. I went to his house and he was there with someone else." I bluntly told her. She gave Chris a look and they both came and hugged me together.
"I'm so sorry. It's all my fault." Brianna said and I shook my head. "It doesn't matter." I told her.
After both of them interrogated me I could hear them in an intense conversation but I chose not to eavesdrop. Instead I are candies while admiring all of my ballerina outfits. While candy was my distraction, dancing was an escape to my little happy world. My bun was perfect, as usual but I really had to do something to my fringe which had grown out a bit. I wore the most sparkly pink out I had and played my music.
As time went on and I grew tired, my thoughts were taking me back to reality. First and foremost on Luke. I couldn't help but feel hurt. He knew about the party yet he wanted to use me like a toy. I felt disgusted. Second was Bellamy, I liked him but didn't deserve me and he knew it. I didn't believe in the deserving shit before but now I really do understand it. My past haunts me and I don't think there's a way out of it. Third thing that was on my Keith was Keith and the thoughts of him were nagging me. Everything about him felt good and bad. When I finally let go of him, he came back into my life and now I'm not sure what to do. I don't like him like that anymore yet he's so hypnotizing that I find myself falling into this traps.
I absentmindedly performed the Pirouette and cursed at myself as I fell on the ground. That was enough to bring my focus on my dancing. I practiced different routines in the next several hours. Mom showed up in between and we exchanged a few words before she left for some important work again. I went back to what I saw doing.
I heard a round of applause which snapped me out of my zone. Keith, Bellamy and Natasha stood in the corner watching my every move. I noticed Bellamy's lips tug upwards when he saw me, more like checked me out. I swear he has a fetish for uniforms and costumes.
"That was," "beautiful" Keith said as Natasha completed his sentence. "Damn I wish I brought flowers." Bellamy said as I turned the music off and fidgeted with my clothes.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked the three awestruck teens in front of me. Well two, Keith is a "man". I laughed at the memory.
"To get you to go out with us." Natasha said in an extra happy tone.
"Why?" I narrowed my eyes at her and she looked everywhere but at me.
"I told you cut things off with that idiot, why won't you listen?" the brother-sister bickering started and I rolled my eyes.
"Come on, Jane. You don't have to change. Just come with us to have a little fun. You won't regret it." Bellamy tried to convince up.
"I will change but where are we going?" I asked him since Keith and Natasha weren't done fighting.
We paused our conversation to listen on the two of them calling each other abusive names. They noticed us laughing at them and they abruptly stopped
"Go on," I told him but Keith glared at Natasha who made her way out of my room.
Bellamy followed behind Keith. He turned around and gave me one of his sexy smiles. "Street racing," he said and I kind of gasped as the information went in my head.
"Be ready in five." He added and I rolled my eyes. "It'll take me ten to get out of this." I pointed at the clothes. He stopped walking backwards and started moving towards me.
"I can help, babe." My heart skipped a best as he called me babe but now wasn't the time to ogle at him. Who am I kidding? I do it all the time regardless of the situation.
"No thanks." I shoved him back as hard as I could without letting my hands linger on his chest for a second too long. I couldn't lose him because of my weak girly crush. He had to be a permanent fixture in my life.
I'm too desperate.
"Fine but call me if you need me." He winked and left the room.
I threw on black ripped jeans with a black crochet top and tightly tied my high heel leather boots. I grabbed my leather jacket and made my way downstairs where I found my candy stash being attacked.
"You guys should've asked before munching on my food!" I ripped away the Hershey's Kisses from Keith and set them at the table.
"What? I needed kisses." he pouted and I rolled my eyes.
"I wonder what you'll crave when you're pregnant. You really haven't left anything." Natasha joked.
'You're hilarious." I said in a serious tone. "And since I'm an angel, help me take the candy to the car. Some people deprived me of it yesterday." I sent Bellamy and Keith a glare before picking some up.
As the front door opened a wave of freezing cold air hit me right in the face. I shivered and turned around.
"It was nice meeting you guys but I'm going to bed now." I said as I made my way to the first step of the stairs.
"Come on, its not even that cold." Bellamy scoffed and I raised my brow at him.
"You're too hot to be affected by the cold. Now come on." Keith said as he dragged me outside. When I sat in the passenger seat with him on the drivers seat. I made sure to yank his hair every now and then for making me go out in the cold weather.
"So what's exactly street racing?" I asked ad everyone started to laugh. I rolled my eyes. "I mean, I know what it is but like how does it work and where?"
"We won't judge you." Natasha patted my shoulder from the back seat.
"It works like you get your own car and you drive really really really fast with a bunch of other people and of you win you take all the money from the bets and this happens in the shady side of town where the cops don't bother coming." Keith explained. I tried not to react to his idea of dumbing it down for me.
"Do you race?" I asked him and he nodded.
"Princess, I own this shit." He said.
"Well lets see what you got boy." I poked him in the arm.
"You've seen a lot," he winked at me and I slapped his arm.
"I wish I hadn't." I joked and he frowned.
"Please tell me my best friend and brother are going to get together?" Natasha chirped.
A loud groan escaped Bellamy's lips and I turned to see him gagging at Natasha's statement.
"Oh look! We're here!" I said excitedly when I saw a few cars race by us.
"And there's my boyfriend, toodles." Natasha said as she practically jumped out of the moving car.
"She's an idiot." Keith said and I nodded in agreement.
Bellamy went off in his own direction which let me and Keith alone. He put his arm around me as people greeted him and made small talk. Some were just staring at us which made me uncomfortable. Once we stood my the rode and waited for the cars to come around we talked about the rules and everything. I was actually tempted to race, but it was too dangerous for someone who knew nothing about it.
"I get it now. You like Bellamy. It's so obvious to me. Don't you dare try to deny it." He said out of the blue. I quickly looked around to check if Bellamy was around us or not. Thankfully, he was no where to be seen.
"I hate you," I muttered when I couldn't come up with anything to say.
"When did it happen?" he asked and I shrugged. "A long time ago I guess. I didn't realize it at first but when I did I couldn't stop the feelings. You asked why I was with Luke right? Well it was because of Bel. I wanted to get over him but it didn't work." I sighed and watched the cars in the monitors. I couldn't bring myself to look at Keith.
"Makes sense. When are you going to tell Bellamy?" he asked.
I quietly shrugged.
"You have to do something." He bumped my shoulder with his. "What's holding you back?"
"He doesn't like me." I said in a duh tone. He laughed at me.
"How do you know that when you haven't tried anything?" He asked.
"Stop asking so many questions Keith. You're not in that position yet." I snapped.
He said something but the sounds of loud engines made him sound inaudible.
"Just so you know, I haven't given up yet. Lets see who you choose by the end if the year." He said with a smirk.
I rolled my eyes at him. "Sure Keith, seduce me."
A hand came around my shoulder. "Ready for the race? I talked it out with the boss." Bellamy said to Keith from over my head.
I folded my arms and furrowed my brows in annoyance. Never have I left so tiny before.
"Come on, let's watch him from inside." Bellamy said Keith went to prepare in his car. I blew him a flying kiss and waved him goodbye.
"Does he actually win?" I asked as we approached a bar near the starting lines. The place became awfully crowded and people were filing in from everywhere.
"He does and he makes a lot of money off of it." Bellamy told me.
"Do you?" I asked him. "Sometimes." He said, holding the door for me.
We easily entered and sat a small table with two chairs at one side of the bar. I could see Natasha sitting with her weird friends on the opposite side. She told me about her so called boyfriend and I honestly expected better but this guy wasn't so bad. Natasha told him everything she went through and he couldn't be more supportive.
I turned my gaze to the boy in front of me. His beautiful brown eyes bore into my blue ones. Strands of his hair fell on his forehead looking as messy as always. Only this time I knew it wasn't because he was making out with some girl.
He cleared his throat and I quickly blinked away.
"Everything alright?" he asked. "Yea, why not?" I answered.
"You broke up with Luke yesterday. You're handling it quite well." He stated.
"We weren't really serious about it anyways." I told him.
A loud cheer came from outside and everyone snapped there heads to the ministers inside the bar. The large screens displayed parts of the city which were part of the track, though there wasn't an official track. The race had just started and I noticed Keith's car taking lead. He really did play dirty and to the point where he risked his life. I didn't wait for a second to march outside where they would be finishing.
Bellamy called out to me from behind but I was too furious at Keith to stop.
By the time I was there, Keith was standing by his car with a huge grin on his face. I noticed the way girls ogled at him and I really wanted to blow their heads off but first I had to blow Keith's off.
"Hey princess, I won!" he opened his arms and I scoffed at him and grabbed his collar.
"Are you crazy or stupid? You could've killed yourself!" I shoved him back into his car but my grip remained on his collar.
"Come on, I won didn't I?" he smiled and I glared.
"Don't do that again! I just got you back Keith! You can't do that to me! You idiot."
"And here I thought you didn't feel anything for me princess." He said before holding me from the waist and pulling me towards himself. In a second our lips collided in a rough kiss. People howled and whistled but that only made me kiss him harder.
"I knew you couldn't get over me that easily. I make people weak." He said whilst smiling.
"Your charms don't work on me. It was just one kiss." I defended.
"Well I sure do know how to get a kiss from you now." He said. I rolled my eyes at him.
"I only did it because you drove recklessly and I'm still vulnerable after my break up." I stated.
"Fine, I hope it stays that way so I can kiss you more." He smiled and I shoved him back.
"So what now?" I asked as we walked over to Bellamy who was conversing with a guy and girl.
"The night just started." He said.
"Keith, that was a good race buddy." The guy standing with Bellamy said as he raised his beer bottle.
"Thanks man. Just showing princess here what it's like." He pulled me closer to him and I gave a small smile because moving away and rolling my eyes when Bellamy gave me a look.
"Oh, so this is her. The girl who whipped you." The guy said with a grin to Keith.
"Veronica, Derek, this is Blake. My-" I interrupted. "Friend." I smiled at them, "we're only friends." I narrowed my eyes at Keith.
"I approve of her. I mean the kid could fill up her clothes a bit more but I guess she's not that bad." Veronica commented.
I wasn't in the mood to take anyone's shit.
"Last time I checked silicon was a huge turn off so rather than getting me an appointment, get one from your plastic surgeon for yourself. I'm sure there's a way you can get that shit deflated and normal." I didn't need to stay for a reaction because she red hot face was enough to make my day. So I turned on my heel but stopped when Bellamy out his arm around my stomach.
"You're perfect Jane. Ignore her." He whispered into my ear and I couldn't help but smile. Although we were talking about breast sizes.
"Does this mean you checked me out?" I smirked.
He smirked. "You already know the answer."
I turned back to the trio and waved at them. "We'll be back. It was nice meeting you Derek." I said before taking Bellamy's hand.
"Where are we going?" he asked and I quickly stopped.
"I don't really know. I'm thirsty and I want to race." I told him.
He laughed. "Lets grab a beer."
"And then race." I said. He shook his head as he led me back inside the bar. "No," he said in a stern tone.
"Why not? You don't let me smoke either. It's not fair. I'm surprised you don't have any obligation on my drinking." I whined.
"Actually, I diluted your drinks a few times. It's unhealthy." He said.
"You did what?" I yelled out loud, earning a few stares from the people around us.
"What? I was only watching out for you." He handed me a bottle of beer. Which turned to half as he downed it before handing it to me. "Like I am now," he added and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Thanks daddy," I waved the beer at him before walking out of the bar.
I headed towards Keith's car. I managed to fish his keys when he kissed me.
"Now if you excuse me, I have a race to win." I told him as he closely trailed behind me.
Before I could get inside the car I was yanked back. "That's not how it works Jane. There's a guy you talk to and if he agrees then you can race and since he's my friend, I'll tell him to make sure you don't ever race." He said. I sighed and backed away.
"Fine, I'll sit with Keith then." I said. The look of disapproval on his face intensified. "There's no way you're sitting with that maniac." He said.
"Stop being such a party pooper once." I huffed and started to walk away from him.
"Go fulfill your death wish." He shouted for behind me.
This is the part wee I stand there for minute and think everything through. I may not be on cloud 9 but I definitely didn't want to die right now. I still had a lot of candy to eat and things to do. I turned on my heels to find him smirking at me.
"You win and you better win." I poked his chest and sat in the passenger seat.
He sat in after a while. I watched a few others get ready for the race and an uneasy feeling settled inside me.
"There's still time to get off." Bellamy said and he checked if my seatbelt was properly done or not.
"Jeez, you're so overprotective. You're not my boyfriend you know." I said.
An awkward silence fell in the car. He was definitely getting on my nerves now but only for a little while.
"Sorry, it's just annoying. I really don't care about anything right now and I can take care of myself." I said.
"When you do care, you'll thank me." He said as he started the engine drove to the starting line.
Smoke and noise took over and as a girl dropped a flag, everyone sped across the starting line.
We were probably fourth or five in the race, you know the gap between the fast and slow ones. At this point I was certain we would lose and it wasn't even thrilling. It was like speeding on the highway. The roads were empty but there were obstacles here and there.
"I swear my nonexistent grandma can do better than you." I said causing him to chuckle. "Davis, if you don't win then I'm definitely going to trash your car back home." I warned him.
"Jane, it's all about timing. Now hold on." Within seconds we zoomed past two cars.
The third, which was in front of us was playing games. It wasn't allowed but people still did it. I'm guessing Keith was a promoter of such things.
The driver knocked down some trash cans which Bellamy easily dodged. Keith loved his car. When Bellamy tried to vet take him, he nearly hit the car. There was a red light ahead of us and I could see a truck approaching from the side. It was make it or break it.
Out of no where I found my fingers digging into the back of Bellamy's hand.
"I don't want to die!" I screamed out as the truck was inches away from blocking our route. The driver in front of us awkwardly hit the breaks causing Bellamy to jerk the car away, straight into the truck. I didn't know what happened next because I closed my eyes shut.
"Open your eyes." Bellamy said.
"No!" I told him. We could crash any second now.
"Come on," he shook my hand that he was holding and I realized we should've crash by now.
I opened my eyes and I found us going down an empty narrow alley. I turned around and saw the main road behind us.
I cheered and laughed as I realized we did it. No, Bellamy did it.
"Thanks for not killing me!" I said as we both laughed.
"Don't you dare think that way again babe." He said. My heart skipped a best and I did everything in my power to not squeeze his hand that was intertwined with mine, perfectly resting on his lap.
"Look ahead, I swear you're going to take the grandma comment back."
The care in the first and second position were eagerly fighting each other off. I cringed at the sight of their cars rubbing against one another.
"I take it all back! This was legit the best moment of my life." I hugged Bellamy once more before leaving him with the boss guy who was flaring a was of cash in the air at us.
"Your best moment was with me." Keith poked my cheek. I couldn't help but think about the times I did that to Luke. I tossed that thought away and focused on Keith who was beside his friends.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." I patted his shoulder and laughed.
"Sorry guys but I'm going to take my friend away from you losers now." Natasha dragged me away and stopped in front of a guy who was probably Keith's age, in his early twenties.
He smiled at me and extended his arm. "I'm Toby." I guessed right, he was Natasha's boyfriend. They started dating two weeks ago and instantly clicked, or so I hoped.
"Hi, I'm Blake. Natasha told me a lot about you so don't be surprised when I know every little thing about you." I emphasized on every and managed to get jabbed enough times on my ribs by Natasha to consider getting it checked.
"What she means is that I gave her a brief introduction about you to her." Natasha tried to clarify. Toby only smiled at her and I tried not to squeal in front of them.
"Lies, just yesterday you-" I was cut off when she slapped her hand on my mouth while intensely blushing.
"Okay, fine. You better take care of this girl. She's a lunatic." I whispered the last part a bit loudly to Toby causing Natasha to jab me in the rib again.
We laughed and talked for a while longer. Toby seemed like a nice guy but I was going to keep Keith's opinion in mind too because as her best friend, I needed to protect Natasha too.
We watched a few more races and Keith raced again in the final one. Me and Natasha took the backseat of the car and leaned against the windows.
Bellamy and Keith were were probably the best of friends. During the ride home they told me stories of their past.
They both started the bad boy thing together, obviously Bellamy started at a younger age because of the three years ago gap.
"It started with a bucket list. Sincere weren't the brightest, we wrote down petty shit like steal and smoke a cigarette and what not. Then we actually stole a few cigarettes but we couldn't light them up so we asked a man for help. He took us to some weird place with cheap strippers. It was filthy but we loved it. That man and his friend taught us practically everything we know." Keith explained.
I was going to call bluff but Bellamy spoke up.
"I miss Bobby despite the shit he got us into." Bellamy said to Keith who nodded in response.
I turned to Natasha to see her reaction to her brothers bad choices but she was already asleep.
"Don't you guys regret the things you've done?" I asked.
"You can't live with regrets."
Maybe they were right but how could you not regret things when they impact your life so much and in a bad way.
