Chapter 25-
Calvin's POV
Scott and I got off the stage and headed back to my table.
"Ladies if its okay with you, I'd like to take my boyfriend home tonight." Scott said with his arm around his waist.
"You can have him." Jamie replied "You crazy kids have fun now!"
We said our goodbyes to my friends and then headed out for Scott's car. This was the happiest I had been for a while. I
could barely believe what had just happened! It was like a scene out of some romantic comedy but it was my reality! Even
though everything was falling back into place, there was something that was still on my mind. What about what I did with
Eric? I knew that I would have to tell Scott eventually and the sooner the better. I just didn't want it to ruin such a
perfect night. But on the other hand, I don't think I could sleep with Scott without him knowing. I needed Jamie's advice
before we left.
"Scott, can you hang on a second?" I ask "I need to run back in real fast to give Jamie something, it won't take too long."
"Yeah that's fine, I'll be right here. Just don't take too long." he replied.
I made my way back into the bar. Everyone was exactly where I left them minutes go, all in conversation. I placed my hand
on Jamie's shoulder and asked if I could talk to her privately for a second. She agreed even though her face had a look of
total confusion on it.
"Shouldn't you be halfway to Scott's right now and probably halfway naked too?"
"I just need to talk real fast." I reply. Jamie gets out of her seat and we head over to a corner of the bar where we can
talk privately.
"Whats up?" she asks
"Should I tell Scott that I slept with Eric?" I ask. Jamie ponders this for a little bit, all the while making faces as if
she's having a conversation in her head.
"I don't know Cal. On one hand, it could put a damper on tonight but on the other it could make it worse if he finds out
later especially if its not from you." she states "Cal, I'm not sure exactly what to tell you. I think it's up to you to
decide when the right time is."
She's right. But the worse part is that I'm not even sure when that time is. Jamie goes to sit back down at the table and I
make my back out to Scott. I know that if I go with him and don't tell him, we'll probably have some of the greatest make
up sex ever. But if I tell him afterwards, will he think badly of me for not even waiting 12 hours before hopping into bed
with someone else. And letting him sleep with me without knowing could taint future love making sessions. My mind is still
going over everything when I get back to Scott's car.
"Everything good?" he asks. He's leaning on the hood of his car, if public nudity wasn't illegal I'd hop on top of him
right now.
"Yeah." I say as Scott opens my door. God, he's being so great right now! Do I really want to be the one to screw it all
up?
"I have something to tell you." he says getting into the driver's seat. Can he read minds, I ask myself. Of course not, I'm
being ridiculous! "I thought we'd hold off on the physical stuff tonight. I feel like we just need to talk everything out
and, I don't know, re-get to know each other."
"That sounds smart." I say. I guess it's going to be tonight or never to have the perfect chance of telling him.
Scott pulls the car into his assigned spot. It feels like ages since I've been here."Hang on a sec." he says getting out of
the car. He goes around the front and opens my door and gives me a hand to get out of the car. Would he still be this sweet
to me once he knows? That's hard to tell. We go up to Scott's place and he unlocks the door.
"Would like something to drink? Like a beer or something?" he asks. Alcohol could make this whole thing easier.
"I'll take a beer."
"I was hoping you'd say that." Scott says with his sexy, mischievous grin. He gets a couple out, twists off the cap and
hands me a bottle. I sit on the couch and take a sip.
"I know I said I wanted to wait on the physical stuff but you're making it so tempting to go back on my word." he says
standing at the breakfast bar with a sly grin. I blush. "Nothing sexier than a cute guy with a beer bottle to his lips."
"Well I'd hate to make you a man who goes against his word." I reply "So we better just stick with talking for now."
Scott comes and sits next to me on the couch. While I feel very comfortable at his place, I can feel the uneasiness in the
air. He set his beer down on the coffee table and I follow his example. Scott places a hand on my knee as he begins to
speak.
"I'd like to start." he says "I was so stupid to end things with you. My reasons were stupid and I think I even knew it at
the time but I wasn't thinking clearly. And believe me if I didn't know it at the time, Shelby and Nikki both reinforced
that thought. After it happened, I basically went catatonic. I stopped going to work, not get back with people who
contacted me. Shelby was the one to finally give the jolt back to reality that I needed. I missed you so much Calvin. I
still love you Cal, I always have. I hope you still feel the same."
"Scott, I love you too." I replied "I didn't understand your reasoning at the time but I think I get it a little bit.
Jamie's couch basically became my house for the first few days. I think I was in shock or something like it. I missed you
too Scott. I tried to distract myself and not think about you, about us but nothing worked. I tried getting lost in a book,
watching movies and...and, please don't get mad and hate me...and I slept with Eric."
Scott's face was a mix between shock, anger, and sadness. I hope I didn't just blow up this whole second chance.
"You slept with him?" he finally asked in a low voice like he couldn't believe what he heard. I nodded. "Um ok, when?" I
could feel my eyes begin to well up.
"A few hours after you left. I went to work on a project for class and it just kind of happened."
"It just happened? How does something like that just happen?"
"You just broke up with me, my whole body went numb. We were working on the project, he asked a question about you and I
told him that we had just broken up. He gave me a much needed hug to comfort me and it just happened." Scott is just
staring at me with sad eyes. I can feel a tear on the verge of falling. "The moment it was over, I got dressed and hurried
out of there. I knew I made the biggest mistake ever!"
That single tear was now rolling down my cheek. Scott scooted closer to me on the couch, took his thumb and wiped it away.
He gave me a small smile. "Hey you don't have to cry. I'm not angry. To be honest, I'm a little sad but not angry. I have
no right to be. I was the one who messed this whole thing up and basically pushed you into him. But I guess I need to know
something before we go any further into this. Are you and him looking to be together?"
"No. It was just a one time stupid mistake. I regretted it as soon as we were done. He even apologized and he never meant
for that either. We said we'd just be friends, but I don't really think we'll talk once this class ends." I replied. Scott
gave me a smile, stood up and reached a hand out to me.
"I know I said nothing physical but, Cal, can I just hold you tonight?" he asked.
I nodded and we made our way to his room. We laid there for a while and kissed, nothing too passionate just the sweet
little ones. Scott's arms were wrapped around me as he pulled me closer. I've missed laying like this with him. I have
never felt more safe than where I was at this exact moment.
"Happy 3 months, Calvin." Scott said kissing my cheek "I love you."
"I love you too" I replied before falling asleep with the biggest smile on my face.
