“Ok Dad. Thanks for the lecture, but you know I don’t take advice from guys I have no idea who they are. Since we don’t know each other, I guess I shouldn’t listen. By the way, thank god it was Knox that saved my ass because you would have probably let him take me.” I didn’t really believe that, but I wanted to get a rise out of him.
He took a step towards me and grabbed me by the jaw and whispered in my ear, “You know what little bird, you damn well know we know each other. You fooled me once before with the little innocent girl act, but I know how much of a conniving and lying bitch you are. If you think I’m that much of a monster than I guess I should act the part.” He turned around and walked out without another word. I felt his threat deep in my stomach and I knew I just made the worst mistake.
It’s been five minutes and I still felt like I couldn’t breathe. I was staring off where Jude walked out the door that I didn’t even realize Knox came walking in. He walked in front of me and by the look on his face, I was going to get another lecture.
“Well where do you think I should start Madison. Let’s see maybe we should start with how you wore a see through bra as a shirt, or the skirt where your ass was falling out of, maybe the seductive dancing, you know what better yet how about the fact you got so drunk to point you were barely conscious and was heading home with a guy you didn’t even know!” You can tell I hurt him by the emotion in his voice and that’s the part that killed me. Knox is one of the few people that I trust and for him to be disappointed in me makes me feel like shit.
I was going to make a snarky remark about how he doesn’t need to concern himself with how I dress or dance, but I already did that to Jude and it felt worst than this right now. I walked over to him and grabbed him by the hand. He didn’t even look down, but just kept his eyes on me and I said, “You’re completely right. I was a complete idiot last night and there is nothing I can say that will make any of this right. The only thing I can do is show you and everyone that I’ll make smarter choices.”
“You promise?” He held out his pinky for a pinky promise. It was a thing we did ever since we were kids. I grabbed his pinky with mine and told him I do. The next thing I know I’m up against him and were making out. I wanted to step back and break it off, but I already upset him today and I didn’t want to add gas to the fire. When I heard the door open, I opened my eyes to see Jude walking back in. He stopped dead in his tracks when he noticed us and I pushed back Knox.
“What the fuck Maddy?” Knox looked crushed, but turned around when he felt Jude staring at us with a look of confusion.
“Oh shit, don’t worry about Jude. I already told him we were friends with benefits and that Stella doesn’t know, so we need to keep it on the down low. “ He really thought that was the reason, but honestly I didn’t want Jude thinking we were a couple.
“No, it’s not that. Listen, I had a long night and I am tired. I am going to head back to my place, but I want to thank you for saving me and taking care of me all night. I owe you one.” I hugged Knox and went to go find my clothes, but Knox stopped me.
“Actually Maddy, you owe Jude one. He saw you black out and that guy, Myles, was dragging you out to take you home with him. Jude started flipping out and knocked the guy out with one punch. I thought he was going to murder him, but he stopped and picked you up, taking you back here. By the way, you ended up puking all over him and yourself, so that’s why you’re in his shirt. You were originally on the couch with a bucket while he stood watch until I got home, but I figured you would be more comfortable in my bed so I took you with me.”
I was in complete shock to what he just said. I ended up looking to see Jude to apologize, but he was already gone. I felt like such an asshole. I can’t blame him for storming off both times today. Oh god I threw up on him. Could it get any mortifying? Yep it could because if I threw up all over him and myself, that means he was the one to undress me. Great he saw my boobs because I was the dumbass who gave away my good jacket to make a point and wore a bra as a shirt. I’m never going to live this down.
Chapter Eleven
Jude
When I picked her up again to walk through the front door, that’s when she gave no warning and threw up all over herself and me. I couldn’t even care, I was more concerned if she was alright. I rushed into the bathroom with her and let her finish puking in the toilet. Once she was down and started to fall asleep, I picked her up and walked us in the
