POV: Scarlet

"Any reason as to why you are taking a shower right now?" Rey leans in the doorway to the bathroom.

"Well there are two actually, one is I didn't get a chance to take one this morning unlike you. Two is that I am washing off this shitty day that way I will be in a better mood for you as we go out tonight."

"I see, so how is that working out for you?"

"Better now that you are here."

"God, you're so cheesy." She smirks.

"I try." I wiggle my eyebrows.

She chuckles.

"I'm sorry about my nun mom this morning. She can be uh... a nun."

"You don't have to tell me about mom's trust me, I know."

"Emm, hey can you make me something to eat? I'm starving, I haven't even had lunch."

"Sure." She shrugs before walking off to the kitchen.

As soon as she's out of sight I bang my head against the shower wall. Fucking hell, I feel like shit. I broke my sober streak, Rey is only pretending she isn't hurting, I cheated on her with Maddison, we got caught by fucking Janet, I told my mom off, I have no phone, and to top off the shit pile I don't know if I'll ever see Maddison again. She doesn't even know that I am thinking about running off into the sunset. If she did I am sure she would be here right now slapping some sense into me.

I guess this is what I get for trying to pretend that I was okay. It always catches up to me eventually. Maddison made peace with her pain over the break, I just pushed it down and pretended I was happy with Rey. Now it's hitting me upside the head.

I slide down the shower wall and curl up on the shower floor. Fuck I need a drink.

"Hey I couldn't find something so I'm just going to order in." Rey walks back in.

Fuck.

"Scarlet?" she walks over to the shower.

I close my eyes, I don't want to see her face when she looks at me.

She sighs.

She sits down on the floor next to the shower.

"Just order whatever," I say.

She reaches into the tub and grabs my hand in her own, interlocking our fingers. I open my eyes and look at her, she is staring at me with a sad look in her eyes.

"I don't deserve you," I say.

"I know." She forces a smile.

"Asshole." I smile at her.

She pulls my hand and brings it to her lips before placing a light kiss on it. Her gentleness makes my eyes water, I really don't deserve her.

"Finish your shower, I'll have food for you, then we will go out and have a great time. There will be no crying on my watch. So if you don't cheer up soon, I'll have to break out the big guns." She flexes her free arm.

It makes me laugh.

"Better, now come on." She stands up and forces me to stand up too. "Get your sexy ass out of the shower before I spank it," she smirks.

"Emm, yes master." I kiss her hand now.

She smiles at me before walking out to order food.

I quickly finish my shower and walk out wearing nothing but my robe. She smirks at me.

"When you look like that, it makes it hard for me to control myself." She pulls me down onto the bed.

"Is that so?" I smirk at her.

She undoes the robe sting and lets it fall open. Then she pushes me down on my back and her hands run up my body before squeezing my breast.

"God, you look good enough to eat." She licks her lips.

"Then what are you waiting for?" I raise an eyebrow.

She smiles and shakes her head before kissing me on the cheek. Then I watch her spread my legs and kiss her way up my left leg. I close my eyes and sigh in pleasure as I feel her tongue slide up my wet slit.

"Oh fuck..." I moan.

Before she can really get me going there is a knock on my door.

I let out a whimper as she pulls away.

"Hold on I think that's the food." She gets up.

I sigh and close up my robe again.

We both walk towards the door, she answers it. The delivery guy's eyes bulge as well as his pants when he sees me. Rey snatches the food from him and glares at him. I giggle and wrap my arms around her from behind.

"Down girl," I whisper in her ear.

She shivers in my arms.

She pays him and then slams the door in his face.

"God, I'm starving." I snatch the food from her.

"You tease too much." She pouts.

"I think I tease just the right amount." I sit down at the table.

"Bet you wouldn't like it if I teased back."

Déjà vu.

"No I wouldn't, I know that for a fact. Please have mercy on me." I batt my eyes at her.

She rolls her eyes and smiles at me. She pulls up a chair next to me and grabs her own food. I pop open the takeout box and smile at the chicken salad. My favorite. She remembered. I glance up at her and she is eyeing me. I smile at her. Her eyes light up at being recognized silently and her cheeks flush. She can be really cute sometimes.

Maybe running away with her wouldn't be so bad.

I should tell her I cheated on her. She deserves to know.

I push my salad around.

"I thought you were starving?" she points out after taking a bite of her pasta.

"I am," I say.

She raises an eyebrow at me.

"I have to tell you something." I avoid her gaze.

"You cheated on me," she states.

I look up at her.

"I may have been drunk but I wasn't drunk enough to forget which hickeys were mine. I know for a fact that one on your collar bone isn't mine. Plus, with how flustered you were when you came home, jumping straight into the shower. It doesn't take a genius, I have been cheated on before, remember."

"Why didn't you call me out?"

"I wanted to see how long it would take for you to tell me on your own." She says.

"We didn't have sex. We got close, but we didn't. I stopped it before it could go that far."

"Was it with Maddison?" she pushed her pasta around.

"Yes."

She sighs.

"I'm sorry. I know I'm a piece of shit. I understand if you hate me now."

"I don't hate you." she looks up at me.

"Why not? I hate me." I force a chuckle.

"I'm disappointed, but not mad. I get it. I mean I did the same thing. You never really get over your first love. I understand that she makes you weak, I guess it was only a matter of time. I expected it to happen at least once."

"You are making me feel shitter."

"You stopped it, and that's what counts. Just promise me you won't do it again and we can move on from this. Look me in the eyes when you say it. That way I know if it happens again you weren't really sorry about it to begin with. I am letting this one slide, don't make me regret it." she says sternly.

I nod then swallow down the lump in my throat. I grab her hands in my own and look her in the eyes. I open my mouth to say it, to say I will never cheat on her again, but then I blink and at that moment I see Maddison's face. I can hear her laugh, her cute little laugh. Those emerald green eyes. My throat closes up and I close my mouth.

"Say it," she demands.

I swallow down the lump again and take a steady breath. I can do this.

"Reyna. I promise that I will never cheat on you again for as long as we are together. I don't ever want to hurt you, I know you deserve much better than me. So if you will have me, I would like to continue this relationship."

Her eyes water over and she smiles at me. then she gets up and pushes my chair back before sitting on my lap and wrapping her arms around me. I stare into her dark grey eyes, I feel like a whole hurricane is in there. It both thrills me and scares me.

Her hands slowly and softly caress my face and I lean into her touch. She leans in and presses her lips into mine. I wrap my arms around her.

"Don't break my heart. I won't be able to come back from it." She whispers against my lips.

"I'll do everything I can to never let that happen."

She kisses me again.

I run my hands up her shirt, digging my fingers into her skin. Letting my nails trail lightly down her back. She gasps into my lips. I quickly capture her lips again. She squeezes my shoulders before running her hands down my chest.

My growling stomach interrupts the passionate moment.

We break apart and look at each other before giggling.

"I guess you should eat something before you starve to death." She kisses my cheek before getting off of me.

I sigh before going back to my salad.

"So tonight we are going to that goth club I told you about."

"Really? I'm not exactly goth." I point.

"So what, I bet I can make you look goth."

"You know technically you are not old enough to drink."

"They don't card there."

"Well look at you, so prepared," I smirk.

"I just want this weekend to be perfect. You know, so you will run away with me."

"I remember and I got to say you are already leaning me in that direction. Don't let that go to your head."

"Yeah right." she snorts in amusement.

"Before we go out, I will need to get a new phone. So hurry up and eat so we can stop on our way there."

She nods and goes back to eating.

After we eat she helps me get dressed and even does my make up for me, which is weird because I am usually the one giving out fashion advice.

"Okay, done." She pulls back.

I stand up and walk over the mirror.

"Whoa, um... just wow."

"You like?" she asks.

"I didn't think goth was for me but damn, I look so badass." I check myself out.

She laughs.

My eyeshadow is a deep smoky grey with hints of ice blue. My lips are black and my eyeliner is thick. My eyebrows are sharp-looking and my hair is down and completely straight. She made me wear my black combat boots, tight black leather pants, and a black netted crop top.

"I feel like I should join some screamo band." I laugh.

"Well, I think you look hot."

"Okay, don't get ahead of yourself. This is fun but it feels more like a costume than a real look to me. I am definitely not switching over to the dark punky side any time soon." I smirk.

"Oh come on, didn't you have an emo phase when you were younger? Everyone does."

"Not me, I was a total diva wanna be in high school. You pull off the punk goth thing good, me on the other hand, meh."

"You look hot, now come on we have to scare your phone service lady." She slaps my butt.

I laugh as I grab my keys.

I admit the look makes me look at least a few years younger. Still, it's a little too dramatic for me. I can't pull it off as effortlessly as she can. She has on deep purple lipstick, her hair is braided back into a French braid. Her eye shadow is purple with a grey smoky finish. Thick cat eyeliner. She has on ripped up grey jeans, her usual studded boots and a long-sleeved shirt that has large holes all down the sleeves.
