Never Say Goodbye (21 page)

“Hey you,” I hear from behind me. I turn and see Levi standing there, looking all too sexy.

“Hey yourself,” I say a little too happy to see him.

“So, I was thinking…” he starts to say.

“Oh no, are you sure that’s wise?” I interject.

“Shut it smart ass,” he says laughing, “You look gorgeous by the way.”

“Thanks,” I tell him as I start to dance with him.

“Are you seeing anyone?” he asks in my ear.

“No, why?” I say looking questioningly at him.

“Well, I’m not either.”

“Like that’s a surprise, you don’t date,” I say with a laugh.

Levi’s hands find my hips and he pulls me closer to his body. My arms automatically go around his neck and even though it’s not a slow song
, we are dancing extremely close.

“Touché, but I was thinking, if you aren’t seeing anyone, maybe we can continue with our benefits thing.”

“Oh, you want more of me huh?” I say confidently.

“Would I be here right now if I didn’t?” he says
, piercing me with his eyes.

“Good point, but why? I thought you were doing the friends with benefits thing with someone
already,” I say, questioning what I was told.

“No, definitely not, that’s only with you,” he says looking honest.

“Can I think about it?” I ask, even though I already know the answer.

“Ouch, that hurts,” he says faking a hurt heart.

“Oh please, that didn’t hurt your ego one bit,” I say slapping his stomach. That instantly makes me think of his body and how it looks and feels naked.

“So
, what can I do to persuade you?” he asks in a sexy voice.

“You’re doing just fine,” I tell him, slowly giving in.

“Oh yeah?” he says with a smirk.

“You need to get tested, G
od knows where you’ve been,” I say quietly to him.

“I just got tested, I’m clean,” he says piercing me with his eyes again.

“You are trouble,” I tell him with a laugh.

“I’m the best kind of trouble
princess,” he says as he pulls me even closer, if that’s even possible. I can feel his building erection and hold in a giggle.

“Fine, yes,” I say with a smile.

“Great, you ready to go?” he asks looking serious.

I just stare at him dumbfounded.

“R..Right now?” I ask stuttering.

“Yeah, why not right now?” He asks.

“I told Brynn we could do girls night,” I say looking around for her.

“She looks like she’s taken care of,” he says
, nodding in the direction of her.

I turn and see her wrapped in Chad’s arms dancing.

“So, what’s it going to be?” he says looking at me intently.

“Let me just tell her I’m leavi
ng, then we can go,” I tell him excitedly.

I walk over to Brynn and interrupt her make out session on the dance floor to let her know I’m leaving with Levi. She gives me a hug and whispers in my ear, “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.” That’s not saying much. I just laugh and walk back towards a waiting Levi.

I wave to Sophie who looks anything but happy, I’ll have to ask her why tomorrow.

As we make our way closer to the door, I glance around quickly while walking and connect eyes with the one person I didn’t expect to see, Nathan.

He looks irritated and ready to punch something. I don’t stare too long because he quickly turns away and heads in the direction of the bar. I wonder what’s up his ass.

Thankfully, Levi’s leading the way, leading me by the hand and we exit the club.

We get into his car, “Are you okay to drive?” I ask nervously.

“Yeah, I only had half a beer,” he says with a smirk.

“Half a beer, why?” I ask confused.

“Because I saw you in that and realized I needed to get that dress off of you as fast a
s fucking possible,” he says staring at me, while starting the car.

“Oh, is someone horny?” I ask with a giggle.

“You just fucking wait,” he says as he backs out and pulls onto the road.

“Are we going to my sorority house or your place?”

“My house, definitely my house, its closer,” he says anxiously.

“
So you like the dress?” I say making conversation.

“The
dress, the shoes, fuck,” he says looking at me and then back to the road pushing the accelerator.

All I can do is laugh. I like the attention though. I can feel the shots kicking in, but it doesn’t matter, I know what sex is like with Levi and I want more.

He parks the car then hops out to run around and open my door before I even get the chance.

I step out of the car and his lips are on mine before I have time to react.

His kiss is urgent and aggressive. He lifts me up and I immediately wrap my legs around his waist wanting more.

He’s exploring my mouth
, tasting every part of it. I can feel his erection though his jeans and my skimpy dress. I want more, now.

“Levi,” I say as I pull away from his eager mouth, “can we mak
e it inside?”

He starts laughing, “Yeah, hold on,” he says as he grabs my wristlet and shuts the car door with his foot. He walks into the house with me still wrapped around him like a vine.

We barely make it into his room before we’re stripping one another. I have his shirt off and start unbuttoning his jeans.

“The shoes stay,” he says in a demanding tone.

I nod, and he unzips my dress in the back, pulling it anxiously from my body. I’m left standing in my red strapless bra and matching thong.

“Damn, you’re fucking hot,” he says as he peruses my body. He quickly kicks off his shoes and pulls his pants and boxers off, standing there in nothing
, but his naked glory.

Now it’s me who peruses his body.

“These gotta go,” he says with a devilish smile as he unhooks my bra and throws it over his shoulder. He slowly pulls my thong down and he falls to his knees to allow me to step out of them, “Turn around,” he demands. I do as he says.

He stands behind me allowing me to feel his hard erection. “Damn, I’ve missed fucking this body,” he says as he slides his hands up
my sides.

“Then what are you waiting for?” I ask eagerly.

“You aren’t going to be able to move tomorrow Liv. I’m apologizing now, but I’m about to fuck the shit out of you,” he says, making me excited for what’s in store.

“Stop teasing,” I say with a laugh.

Next thing I know I feel this slap, hard on my ass.

Ho
ly fuck, he just slapped my ass!

“Did you like that?” he whisper
s into my ear.

Did I like it? Hell yes,
I can’t believe he just slapped my ass and damn, it’s only making me hornier.

“I’m talking to you,” he says.

“Yes,” I whisper.

“Oh hell yeah, I knew you were naughty, I just didn’t realize how much,” he says as he slowly twists one of my nipples
making me cry out in pleasure.

I try to turn, but he holds me against his body, “Stay like this, don’t move,” he says as he holds my hips in place. I do as he says.

He pulls on my nipples and then uses one hand and heads towards my sacred spot.

When his hand grazes my clit
, I jerk with excitement. I want more.

“Bend down and grab your ankles,” he says from behind me. I instantly bend down and grab a hold, excited for what’s next to come.

He holds my hips in place and slaps my ass again, causing me to moan out loud.

“So beautiful,” he says as he falls to his knees behind me.

“Levi,” I start to say.

“Shush Liv, relax
, I promise you’ll enjoy everything I do to you,” he says as he slides a finger into my aching body followed by another, causing me to moan again.

“Like that?” he asks.

“Oh yeah,” I say through labored breaths.

He starts to rub my ass in the spot he slapped me while assaulting me with his fingers and before I can react
, he slaps my ass again.

I let out a yelp and then feel his tongue from behind. Oh fuck, this is hot.

He licks at my core from behind causing me to move, wanting more.

His tongue grazes my anus causing me to panic and tighten up.

“Relax Liv, you’ll enjoy it, trust me,” he says reassuringly.

I try to do as he says and loosen up, but I’m still as tight as can be.

“Liv,” he says trying to break me out of my freak out mode.

“
S..Sorry, you just caught me off guard, I wasn’t expecting that,” I say truthfully.

“It’s alright. I take it you never did anything anally,” he says as a statement not a question.

I shake my head no anyway.

“Do you want me to continue?” he asks kindly.

“Not yet,” I say ruining the moment.

“Okay,” he says as he pulls me up and leads me to his bed. I plop down and before I apologize or say anything else
, his mouth is on my aching clit, making me forget about anything and everything.

He continues to assault me with his tongue until I’m screaming out his name.

As I come down from my high he says, “Princess stand-up and grab your ankles again.”

I do as I’m told. I see him grab a condom out of the nightstand and watch him slide it on. He positions himself at my entrance from behind me and before I can think, he thrusts inside of me, causing me to gasp and moan at the feeling.

He continues his thrusts pulling so many emotions from me. I can’t move even if I wanted to, he has such a grip on my hips it almost hurts, but
with him being inside of me feels too good to say anything.

I can feel myself building and building
, wanting my body to explode.

“Fuck, you feel so damn good,” he says through clenched teeth.

“Don’t stop, please don’t stop,” I beg.

And he doesn’t stop until he has me
screaming and himself cursing.

Sex with Levi never gets old.

Chapter Nineteen

For the next few weeks things are going well. I’m doing exceptionally well in my classes, the sorority functions have been great, and
I get my fill of sexy time with Levi a few times a week.

The only thing that seems to be at odds is Chad
and me. I’m not sure what the hell I did, but ever since I left The Cave with Levi a few weeks ago, he acts like I don’t exist.

“I swear to god, I’m about to beat the fuck out of him,” Brynn seethes.

“Who? What’s wrong?” I ask worriedly.

“Chad, the fucker.
I don’t know what his fucking problem is.”

“What
happened B?” I ask calmly.

“He bitches about you, like you did something wrong. You didn’t. So, yeah we are fighting now because of you, but it’s not your fault,” she says looking to reassure me.

“Me? What did I do?” I ask even more confused.

“Who fucking
knows. Nate has a fucking problem with you. So Chad has decided he does too. All because of some stupid bro code or some bullshit like that,” she says irritated.

“Brynn, I thought you two decide
d to not talk about Nathan or I? That you wouldn’t let his issue with me come between you two.”

“We did, but no, Mr.
Fuckpants thinks he needs to back his best friend up, which only makes me back you up because Nathan’s wrong and you won’t fucking set him straight,” she complains.

“We talked about
this, Nathan already made his mind up about me. Nothing I say will change anything,” I say, being honest. It wouldn’t, he hates me for something I didn’t do, but he won’t believe it, he’s too damn stubborn.

“Damn it Liv, can’t you try? My relationship is going to shit beca
use of it,” she says looking hopeful.

“Fine, I will talk to Nathan.”

“When?” she asks excitedly.

“Today, I will go over there and talk to him. We will clear the air
so you and Chad can go back to normal alright?”

“Thank you,” she squeals as she hugs me.

This isn’t going to be a fun conversation, but I need to do it for Brynn.

“Do you want
me to come along for support?”

“No, I need to do this on my own, but thanks,” I say with a small smile.

“He’s there now if you want to go over,” she says looking hopeful.

Damn it, I thought I would be able to put it off for a
t least a few hours. Figure out what the hell I’m going to say to him.

“Okay, let me get my things and I’ll go over there now.”

“I’m coming along, but it’s to smack my boyfriend upside the head,” she says with a wink.

I
grab my wristlet and keys then head over to Nathan’s. As Brynn calmly walks in I start to become nervous all over again. What the hell am I going to say to him?

“You aren’t wanted here, you need to leave now Liv,” Chad says
, looking pissed.

“Knock it off Chad, she’s here to set your idiot best friend straight. Where is he?” She demands.

“And what could you possibly set me straight on?” Nathan says appearing out of thin air, looking unamused.

“On why you hate me,” I say with less confidence than I’d hoped.

It doesn’t matter how many times I see him, I can’t get over how breathtaking he is. He’s pure perfection minus his hatred towards me.

“So enlighten me, why do I hate you?” he says in a mock tone. He’s leaning against the wall with his feet crossed at the ankles and his arms crossed at his chest showing his defined arms.

I must say he looks even hotter when he’s pissed.

“Can we discuss this in private?” I ask nervously.

“No.” Nathan and Chad say simultaneously.

“Seriously?”
Brynn says, looking pissed at Chad.

“Whatever you need to say you can say in front of these two. You’re just wasting your time anyway,” he says bitterly.

“Why am I wasting my time? Can’t you see that your issue with me is ruining your best friend’s relationship?” I say angrily.

“Their relationship has nothing to do with my disliking you.”

“Are you kidding me? They fight because he defends you against me,” I yell.

“He wouldn’t have to if you kept your sorry ass away,” he complains.

“Excuse me?” I say with an evil glare.

“Just leave. You’re nothing
, but a stupid slut and I’m wasting my time even talking to you. I got better things to do, leave and don’t come back,” he says and then he’s gone.

I just stand there with my mouth wide open
, not believing the words he just said to me. I can feel my eyes fill up with tears, but I won’t shed them here.

I look at Brynn whose mouth is hanging ajar too.

“Brynn, you need to get her the fuck out of here now,” Chad says angrily.

Brynn walks me out and I get halfway down the lane before the tears come out. How could he treat me so poorly, he doesn’t even know me
anymore. He wouldn’t even let me explain how wrong he is.

“Liv, I am so sorry, I never thought he would be so ignorant. I should have kicked him in his balls, but he just shocked the shit out of me, I was speechless,” she says solemnly.

“I’m sorry B, I don’t want this to ruin your relationship. Maybe you should stop hanging out with me,” I say with wet eyes.

“Absolutely not, you are my best friend. If he can’t get over this shit then fuck him, fuck both of them. Who needs them anyway?” she says harshly.

“B, you do, you love him,” I remind her.

“Not if he’s going to be so rude to you.
He can fuck off, if that’s how he’s going to be,” she says with a smile.

“I love you B, thank you,” I say with a half-smile.

“No worries bestie. We are in this together…how’s that saying go…ho’s before bro’s? Wait...we aren’t ho’s, never mind you get the point. Girl code, we stick together,” she says making me laugh; we hug and continue on our short walk back to the sorority house.

We get back to the house and I can’t help but want to curl up in my bed and cry, so that’s what I do. How dare
he?!

“No, get the fuck up, you aren’t crying over his stupid sorry ass. You aren’t a fucking slut, are you kidding me. I’m seriously going to rip his balls off and shove them down his throat. You do not let him
cause you tears, he’s made you cry more than any guy I’ve known,” she yells ready to fight something, rather someone.

“I know sorry. I’m
just having a weak moment,” I say wiping my eyes.

“Liv, you didn’t do anything wrong, he fucking moved states for
Christ sake. You lost contact when you called, it happens, you were kids. He needs to get over his shit,” she continues on her bitch fest.

“I know it just sucks because he won’t even hear me out,” I say
dejectedly.

“
He has it in his mind of what happened. If he isn’t willing to listen, then this is going to be his regret, not yours. You tried. Now get the hell up, we are going out just you and me,” she says pulling on my arm.

I start to laugh, “Okay, give me a few minutes to get cleaned up,” I tell her heading to the bathroom.

I get out of the bathroom freshened up and walk in on Brynn lying things on the bed.

“What are you doing?” I ask confused.

“I said we are going out, here’s your outfit,” she says as she hands me a short denim skirt with a strapless red top and cute sandals.

“Where are we going?” I ask because it’s starting
to slowly get chilly at night.

“Out, those fuckers want to act like children, we’ll show them,” she says evilly. Oh shit, she’s up to something.

“What are you planning?” I ask nervously.

“Harmless flirting with their friends,” she says joyfully. Oh hell, I don’t think this is going to end well.

Brynn throws on a green dress that she totally rocks with gold heels. Always the diva!

We walk to the party a few houses down. The place is busy, but has room to walk around.

We get a drink, I choose water for now, but put it in a red cup so it looks like I’m drinking alcohol. This way, no one can bitch at me, except for Brynn, who has bitched numerous times already.

I just have a feeling something’s going to get ugly tonight.

We are at the party for about an hour before Chad says anything to us, well Brynn.

“What are you doing here?” he asks looking irritated.

“Partying, why baby?” she says in a cutesy voice.

“Brynn, we talked, you need to get her out of here. If Nathan sees her, shits going to hit the fan,” he says looking directly at me.

“He doesn’t own her or this party, so he can fuck off,” she yells, causing a few people around us to stare.

“What the hell is wrong with you? I can’t even believe you are friends with someone like her,” he says disgusted.

Before I can register what’s happening, Brynn slaps Chad right across the face.

“What the fuck Brynn?” he
bitches.

“Don’t you dare say shit about
her. You were fine with her before your douchebag friend tells you shit, and now you feel you can treat her like shit. I don’t think so. She’s never done anything to you or Nate,” she yells at him.

“Whoa
Chad, what’s going on? Why the fuck are you here?” he says looking annoyed at me.

“Fuck you,” I snap back.

“Not a chance sweetheart. I don’t touch skanky sluts who put themselves out there for anyone and everyone,” he says with an evil smirk.

I see Brynn out of the corner of my eye go to slap him before I can, but Chad grabs a hold of her. Unfortunately for him, he can’t hold me back. I slap Nathan so hard across the face my hand stings. Now we have a larger audience watching our fight like it’s a damn soap opera.

“You son of a bitch, you know nothing about me. Next time you want to call me names you better get your fucking facts straight,” I yell.

He stands there and stares at me rubbing his jawline where I hit him, never saying a word, just piercing me with his hateful blue eyes.

“No wonder your parents never had another child. Look at how you turned out. God help us all if there were more of you,” he says laughing, allowing the rest of the party-goers to join in.

How dare him, he knew my parents tried and couldn’t have any more kids. How dare he say such a
thing.

I feel my eyes get blurry, but I will n
ot cry, I keep telling myself.

I look at the cup in my hand and throw it on him pissed that he would say such a hurtful thing, knowing damn well that wasn’t how it went.

“Wow, got anything else?” he asks annoyed.

“Go to hell, Nathan,” I say and walk past him out the door.

I hope I don’t ever have to see him again, unfortunately I know that’s not likely, considering he’s in my Com class.

Brynn walks home with me apologizing for the night, but telling me over and over how proud she is that I slapped him.
Speaking of slapping him, my hand still stings.

“Do you want a drink?” Brynn asks cautiously.

“Damn right I do. I can’t believe I let you drag me to that party. I should have known better,” I say frustrated.

“I’m sorry, I never thought it would get out of hand like that,” she says apologetically.

“I know B, but now do you get it? He hates me. I want as far away from him as possible. He’s not the same sweet boy I grew up with,” I say with a sigh.

“Yeah, I can see that. We will avoid him at all costs,” she says with a smile.

“I hope you and Chad can work your shit out, you two are great together,” I tell her honestly.

“I hope so too, but I guess we will just have to wait and see,” she says with a sad shrug.

We spend the rest of the evening drinking and relaxing at the house.

The weekend goes by faster than my liking and before I know it
, I’m heading into my Com class. I can’t help repeating what Nathan said to me over and over again, and it makes me want to punch him again.

As I’m sitting in class
, I can’t help but glance in his direction. No matter how mad he makes me, he still looks hot as hell.

Damn him.

He must catch me staring because he looks right at me. He doesn’t look mad this time, though I’m sure that will change. He nods his head and then turns back to the professor.

T
hat was weird.

The next week drags on. I feel like it’s never going to end. Brynn and Chad have been getting along, which I’
m glad for. They truly are great for one another; as long as they stop fighting about Nathan and me.

“Hey, do you want to come out with me tonight?” Brynn asks from the doorway.

“Where are you going?”
