Pretty Boy [Completed and Revised Version]

Chapter 24

He was between my legs, and we were kissing and my top was half undone. I moaned softly when Caleb started sucking my nipple and then he crashed his lips against mine again, murmuring my name. I smiled against his lips..

"Charlie! Surprise!" A very familiar voice cried and like lightning, I turned and saw Dara, staring at me and Caleb..on the bed, me, half naked with Dara's baby brother between my legs..Fuck! I am dead! Caleb was still as a statue on top of me.

Dara stared at us, her hazel eyes wide and nothing came out of her mouth. Her face was drained of blood and I could almost see her tremble. I quickly pushed Caleb off me and held my opened top close. Wordlessly, Dara turned and bolted from there. I heard her footsteps running down the stairs. I quickly buttoned up and gathered my hair in a bun as I ran down the stairs after her, calling her name. Caleb was close behind me, pulling on his t-shirt.

"Dara, wait!" I called when I reached the front door and she was on the porch. She stood still and did not turn around. I could see her hands tremble.

"Dara, I..I'm sorry..Just let me explain-"I started to say when Dara interrupted.

"How long?" She asked flatly.

"What do you mean how long?" I asked, confused. Dara turned to face me, her face grim and her lips were in a tight line.

"How long have you been screwing my little brother!?" Dara screamed at me.

"Dara!" Caleb suddenly exclaimed behind me. He pushed past me and went to Dara, holding her arm.

"Dara, it's not like that! I-" Caleb said pleadingly, but Dara pulled her arm from Caleb's grip. She turned to me and stared at me.

"Please Dara, just let me explain-" I started pleading with Dara when she suddenly slapped me across my face. I was shocked beyond belief. I looked at her in shock. She was staring at me with her eys and face red in anger.

"How could you? He's my younger brother...When were you planning on telling me?! Before the wedding?!" Dara screamed. I could see she was trembling. I held my hot cheek and felt tears gathering in my eyes, threatening to spill.

"Today. I wanted to tell you when you get back for Christmas...I'm so sorry Dara..I never meant for any of this to happen." I said softly as tears spilled down my cheeks.

Dara looked at me one last time and stomped off the porch. She dragged her luggage and threw open her rented car and went into it. She drove off just like that. Caleb tried to go after her, but it was no use. Then he ran up to me ang hugged me tight.

""I'm sorry..I'm so sorry..It's all my fault..I'll talk to her okay..I'll make her understand how much I love you, how much we love each other," Caleb said, peering at me and holding my face with his hands. I nodded and he kissed me deeply.

"Look, I'll go see if she's okay. I'll see you tonight. I love you." Caleb said and I nodded. He walked off my porch and started walking to his grandma's house. I just stood there on the porch, alone. My parents were both still at work, which was lucky. I couldn't believe Dara saw us like that. In bed. Oh God, how mortifying! And she slapped me...My best friend slapped me for sleeping with her younger brother..I guess I do deserve it. I should've stopped this before it went this far. I should've been the wiser one. I should've resisted him. I sat on the swing behind me and cried and cried. I was ashamed and sad. Now I know that I have really lost Dara.

"Where's Dara? I thought she would be here by now.." Mum asked as she took off her jacket. She put her handbag and laptop bag on the breakfast counter and started taking out stuff to use to make dinner.
