Waking up you felt Chris's arms around your waist holding you tight to his body. Smiling as you melted into his front never wanting him to let you go. Especially this sweet side of Chris people probably never got to see.

"Good morning gorgeous." He whispered in your ear giving your shoulder a kiss.

"Good morning." Suddenly feeling shy as you hid your face from him making him laugh.

"Even after last night you're still shy around me?" He asked with a chuckle feeling the vibrations against your back. "God you're so cute."

"Not as cute as you." Turning your body around as you faced him pinching his cheeks between your fingers.

"Not as cute as you are." He puckered his lips out at you as you giggled. "How do you feel?"

"I feel fine. A little sore but fine." You answered honestly already knowing what he was referring to without him saying it.

His hands tickled your sides making you giggle, and move your body around to avoid his hands. Feeling your lower stomach tighten from how much you were laughing.

"Chris stop." You spoke in between laughs as you grabbed his hands moving them from your waist.

"Alright fine." He grumbled as he got up and walked over to the door. "You're no fun."

Shaking your head at him as you laid there for a few minutes. Smiling to yourself at how happy you were right now. Being with Chris brought out this side in the both of you that not a lot of people saw. You were lucky you and Chris were able to share that with each other.

Getting up and following him into the kitchen watching as he made coffee. Standing next to him as you leaned your body against his. His arm wrapped around your waist as he gave the side of your head a loving kiss.

Suddenly hearing shuffled footsteps enter in the kitchen making you and Chris pull apart. Hoping your best friend and her fiancé forgot about last night, and wouldn't bring it up.

"Where did you two disappear last night?" Hearing your friend yawn as she walked in the kitchen.

Both you and Chris looked to each other briefly as if waiting for the other to respond. Trying to think of some lame ass excuse as to what was going on. Not wanting to sound suspicious at all.

Going back to last night when Chris had Sebastian up against the wall by his throat. All because of what he had said.

"Uh I went to bed." You spat out quickly. "In my own bed."

"Me too." Chris spoke right after you did. Making her turn her body towards you both. "In my bed I mean."

The two of you sounded like children that just got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Sounding even more suspicious than you needed to.

Your friend just stared at you both like you had gone crazy. Acting all jittery and guilty of something that she didn't know what for. Feeling yourself gulp loudly as you waited for her to respond.

Both of you totally disregarding the fact that Chris said you two were dating. Maybe everyone forget and you just imagined he said that. You didn't know what you were more upset about though.

Chris not acknowledging what was going on or your best friend couldn't see it.

"Well yeah I figured you two wouldn't sleep in the same bed together." She chuckled as the filled her cup with coffee and headed towards her room.

"I mean can you imagine." She spoke as she turned around laughing even more." My best friend and brother. That would just be ridiculous."

Chris and you letting out a pathetic laugh at her words. It hurt you a little inside that her reaction was what it was. Like she almost believe something like that would happen.

"Have you talked to Sebastian?" You asked randomly almost wanting to smack yourself in the head for bringing him up.

"All I know is that Sebastian was not happy when you guys stormed out." Shaking her head as she leaned against the doorway.

"Sebastian and I aren't together." You stated with a sigh.

"Yeah I know that but still that doesn't mean you have to lie and say you're with my brother." She pointed to him.

"So what if we were." You spoke before you could stop yourself. This caught both her and Chris's attention.

"He's my brother." She looked upset now. "And you're my best friend."

"I mean wouldn't you want me to be happy." Sounding defensive now as you pushed her on the subject.

"Don't twist this around." Her face contorted into one of anger and betrayal at your words. "Of course I want you to be happy."

Chris stood there silent as the grave with upset you when you were kind of hoping you could tell her what was going on. It seemed like right now wasn't the moment to confess everything that was going on between you two.

"Is there something going on?" She asked looking between the two of you.

This was the moment of truth. Your best friend was about to hear everything, and right now your heart was racing. You didn't know if you were about to throw up or pass out. Just as you were about to respond Chris beat you to it.

"No absolutely not." He shook his head as your shoulders slumped down in disappointment.

"Good." She grumbled as she walked back into her room.

Standing there awkwardly as neither you or Chris spoke. Her words were hitting you a lot more than you were liking. She was your best friend after all, and the last thing you wanted to do was upset or disappoint her.

"She is right you know." Chris spoke making you turn your head to him.

"What?" Whispering as you squinted your eyes at him. "She's right about what?"

"You and I being together." Hearing those words leave his lips had a lump in your throat. Staring at him as if you couldn't believe he was actually saying that.

"And what's wrong with you and I being together?" You questioned with your arms across your chest. A stern look on your face.

"Come on look at us." He waved his hand between you two. "We're complete opposites."

"Yeah so." You shrugged your shoulders at him. "We get along just more than fine."

"Physically we do yes." He started off as he stepped closer to you. "But mentally and emotionally we don't."

Staring at him as you felt tears building up waiting to burst. Realizing that after your amazing night of intimacy with him he was ending things with you. All just cause of what his sister says.

Your ears were deceiving you, and you didn't want to believe any word out of his mouth. He was basically saying all you were good for were sexual things. Maybe that was the only thing he really cared about.

"What are you saying?" You already knew what he was saying, but you just didn't want to believe he was doing this.

"I'm saying that we shouldn't keep doing this." He looked down at his feet avoiding your intense stare.

Looking at him as you watched his face waiting for him to start laughing, and tell you this was all a joke. He didn't though. He stood there with a stoic look on his face, and had the look of like someone just told him a loved one died.

This had you extremely upset and worried now. Trying to swallow was like you had a rock stuck in your throat. Just wanting nothing more than to cry into his arms.

"I don't understand." Whispering as you felt your voice cracking. He couldn't even look at you.

"There's nothing to understand." He started off as he looked at you this time. "I need someone on my level."

Hearing those words was like a stab to the heart, and he was twisting that knife even deeper. It felt like a gut punch to the stomach, and you could almost collapse to your knees.

"So that's it then?" You asked feeling yourself raise your voice in anger. "You're just gonna end things all cause of what your sister said?"

"She is my sister and I happen to think she's right on this one." He defended as he raised his voice as well.

"You just said last night that we were boyfriend and girlfriend." Throwing your hands up in anger and disbelief.

"I didn't mean that." Chris said with a calm voice. "I didn't mean anything I said."

"You don't mean any of that." Hearing your voice cracking as you tried your best not to cry in front of him.

"I do actually." His face looked unmoved and emotionless. "Every word."

Choking back a gasp with how harsh he was now being towards you. He went from someone who was sweet and caring. To someone with a cold heart and no affection what so ever. It was baffling how his feelings for you suddenly changed.

"You're an asshole." Was all you said before you left the kitchen to your room.

You went from sadness to now just complete anger. He was playing with your emotions, and decided he was just going to throw you to the side. He got what he wanted from you, and now he was done playing.

Walking around in your room as you replayed his words over and over again. Pacing back and forth with your hand over your mouth trying to control your breathing. Not wanting to start a fight that would catch your friends attention.

Maybe he didn't mean everything he said, and was just playing a cruel joke. There was no way he meant the words he said to you.

With how he acted last night you would have figured he was head over heels for you. No guy was that affectionate towards you only just to tell you the things he just did.

It seemed like the conversation you had with your best friend was a blessing in disguise. If you wouldn't have talked to her he wouldn't have confessed how he really felt. Chris probably would have led you on even longer.

Maybe this was meant to be even though your heart was slowly breaking at the thought. To know he didn't want a future with you even though you saw one with him.

Standing in front of the mirror as you watched the tears fall down your face. Makeup smearing under your eyes as you sniffled snot running down your nose. You looked pathetic crying over someone who wouldn't even shed a tear over you.

You wanted to hurt him, and you wanted to hurt him in the worst way possible. Wanting him to feel exactly how you felt right at this moment, and you knew the right person that could do the job. Feeling mischievous and feisty in the moment.

Probably going to regret this later, but right now you didn't care and weren't thinking. Pulling out your phone as you pressed on the familiar number you thought you would never pick.

"Hello." You heard the familiar raspy voice answer.

"Hey Sebastian are you free tonight?" You asked with a grin on your face.
