It's Complicated

Chapter 5|CHAD

CHAD

I was pissed when I saw Brett and another man. I was woken up and my throat was raspy. So I went down to get some water. Not to mention that Bryan and I just had s*x and I was glad that I wore my clothes before I went out to the kitchen.

**

I woke up when Bryan pulled me closer to him. He smiled at me with his sleepy face and I also smiled at him.

"Good morning." He said and pressed our lips together.

"Good morning." I said and I tried to sit up when he pulled me closer.

"Where are you going?" He placed his face on my neck and planted kisses there.

"I want to use the restroom." I said and he stopped kissing my neck. I felt him sucking my skin making me gasped. "Oh, my God. You're not!" I wiggled myself and he chuckled then licked the place where he sucked.

"Done." He said and kissed me.

I stood from the bed and walked to the mirror. He did leave me a hickey at the side of my neck and it can be seen making me frown.

I grabbed my shirt which was at the foot of the bed and wore it. "Um, where can see your restroom?"

Bryan stood. "Turn to the right and count three doors from this room." He said and I nodded before I went out of his room.

The house was still quiet and it felt like there's no one there except for me. I turned to the right and walked as quietly as I can, counting the doors and the third door that Bryan was talking about had a different style of door. I pushed it and I was surprised because their restroom was huge.

I walked inside and locked the door. They had complete things and a huge mirror on their sink making me pause there and look at my reflection and I saw the hickey that Bryan left.

I was flushing the toilet when I heard the sound of the knob as if someone's trying to open the door.

"Wait!" I said and unlocked the door, opening it.

I sucked my breathe when I saw Brett who was frozen the moment he saw me.

"I, uh." I scratched my nape and I can feel my cheeks heating up from embarrassment when I saw his eyes landed on my neck where the hickey was.

I just walked out and passed him when Brett held my arm stopping me from taking another step. My heart was beating so fast inside my chest and I don't know why I act so differently when it comes to Bryan's brother. And I does it unconsciously.

"That thing." He said making me turned my head at him.

"W-what thing?"

The hickey? Or does he mean last night?

"On your neck." He said and my free hand automatically covered the hickey since he hasn't let go of my other hand.

I tried to snatch my hand from him but he just squeezed it tighter making me wince.

"Let go." I said, looking straight into his eyes and he just stared at me and I can feel that he doesn't plan on letting me go.

"You shouldn't be with Bryan." He said making me sneer.

What did he just said!?

"What? What do mean by that!?" I yanked my arm and he surprisingly let go of me.

Why shouldn't I be with him?

Brett opened his mouth but no words came out making me frown. I was startled when I heard Bryan from behind.

"Cha!" He called and I turned to look at him. And I don't know why I suddenly felt nervous from getting caught with Brett.

I turned back to Brett and he was already gone.

"Let's cook some breakfast." Bryan hugged me from behind and I nodded.

"What were you talking with Brett?" He asked as we climb down the stairs and hearing Brett's name made my heartbeat went faster.

Damn.

"Nothing. We just bumped into each other at the door." I said, looking at the pool area outside.

"Really?"

I glanced at him because he sounded doubtful. Did he hear what we were talking about? Even I don't know what I really felt and why was it happening. I was so sure that I really like Bryan but I think I'm having doubt on my own feelings.

I'm crazy!

"Yeah. So, what's for breakfast?" I said and walked ahead to the kitchen.

**

I was staring at the TV screen and watched while the coyote was chased by a wolf. The animal program already ended when I heard Aaron's car parked outside and then I can hear Tomaz' voice. I turned the TV and walked to open the door for them and my eyes caught something at a tree inside our lawn. Blue small lights.

It disappeared making me think that I was only seeing things again.

My mind was still floating even after having dinner and when I went up to my room. I was tired and everything these days and I don't want to think about everything. But there's one thing that kept on popping inside my mind and it really irritates me so much.

It's Brett! It has been days since I last saw him and why am I thinking of him!?

I stood on the bed and opened my computer. When I got bored of reading everyone's over dramatic life in the social media, I turned it off and noticed that my window curtain was still open.

I groaned as I stood and before I close it, I glanced outside and the lights I saw were there making my hairs stood and closed the curtains so fast.

"What the hell was that." I muttered and went to bed. I kept on seeing that thing every night there and when I went down the next morning, I didn't see anything at all.

It doesn't look like a reflected light from somewhere. It's really creeping me out. It felt like those were eyes that were watching me.

**

I don't feel like going home with Bryan so I went ahead and walked out of the building. I was descending the stairs when I caught a glimpse of Brett who was standing beside the road.

My heart jumped seeing him in his uniform. He looked ha. . . fine with his uniform and he was catching the attention of the other students there.

He walked towards me and I wanted to run away from him but I kinda want to hear why he was there.

"Where's Bryan?" He said and I looked at him.

I can feel my cheeks heating up. Did I just assumed!? Of course, he's here because of Bryan!

"You're not with him?" He asked.

"No." I said and walked past him.

"Good." He sounded relieved.

"What?" I turned at him. "Good what?"

"That he's not with you." He said and held my hand. That sudden skin contact made me suck my breath and I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my mouth.

Does that mean that he wasn't there looking for Bryan but. . . God, is it a sin when I felt happy even though I'm still going out with Bryan?

"Are you crazy!?" I exclaimed in a whisper because they're looking at us.

"Yes." He said, looking so serious making me sneer.

Yes, he's crazy!

"I'm so crazy. . ." He said and I nodded in agreement. "So crazy for you." He added and I was so surprised and not to mention my heart was going crazy again.

"What's with you!?" I yanked my arm and walked away from him. Why would he said that!? It's so bad for me.

"I know you also like me." He said when he caught my pacing and I halted.

"I don't! I am going out with your brother—"

"I can hear your heart beating so fast. Why is that?" He cut me and I unconsciously placed my hand on my chest, feeling my fast heartbeat.

I opened my mouth and no words came out. He smirked and I just wanted to smack his face.

"Look, I just wanted to talk to you in private." He said, seriously.

My phone beeped inside my pocket and I know it was Bryan and like I said, I don't want to go home with him that day.

"Fine."

**

We went inside a diner and only a few customers were there. We sat opposite to each other and Brett ordered some sort of a combo meal when a young waiter asked for our order. He was checking Brett and I wanted to stand and stick my two fingers on his eyeballs.

"The foods here are awesome." He said after the waiter was gone making me sigh.

Why was I thinking like a jealous boyfriend?

"Oh, my God." I muttered at my thought. I'm crazy!

"Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah."

I was never been so confused in my whole life.
