Someone Else

Chapter 12

I wake up around 5:30 and immediately check my phone. He texted back "Ok."? He's agreeing to break up with a one word reply?!

Damn it, I'm already infuriated at 6 in the f*****g morning. I am officially single and ready to f*****g mingle! This should be fun.

Steph is still snoring away on the other side of the bed so I silently change into a one piece bathing suit and go to the pool.

Surprisingly, Chase is already there swimming laps. "Good morning!" I said, diving in.

"You're up early." He said as I caught up to his pace.

"Yeah, well, Liam and I ended early this morning." I said dryly.

He pauses but doesn't say anything about the topic. "So, excited for the hike? How long do you reckon we'll be out there?"

"All day, hopefully."

"Are you okay, Lia?"

I smile. "Yes, Chase. I'm perfectly fine." I said, meaning it too. The whole thing was long overdue anyways. "What did you think of Clary? I saw you guys making googly eyes at each other last night."

He chuckles. "Clary is nice."

"What? Just nice?"

"I'm not interested in her like that." He clarified. "Blondes just aren't my thing."

I laugh. "Okay, Mr Playa, what is your thing?"

"Dark haired girls." He answered.

I gasp. "Steph?"

"Ew! No!"

"Aw, why? Steph's pretty." I said.

He laughs. "Then maybe you should date her."

"She's my best friend, that'd just be awkward as hell."

"Interesting how you didn't say you weren't attracted to her." He called me out.

I'm really not attracted to Steph in that way, though it has crossed my mind. My biggest goal in life is to have kids so all the girls in the past were all for fun only. I guess that makes me the player?

I freeze and he stops. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"I just realized something." I said, frowning. Liam was the only one who loved me for all my flaws instead of despite all my flaws. Did I make a mistake?

Tears fall faster than I can stop them and Chase wraps his arms around me, as if to keep me from crumbling apart.

This mountain trail is just gorgeous! There isn't much wildlife up here and the only plants and weeds and yellow wild grass.

I don't talk to anyone during the whole time and I hear Chase explaining on my behalf that I had a little breakdown this morning.

Chase doesn't leave my side even for a second and I'm grateful that he's there. My emotions are stripped right now and I feel hollow, his warmth reminds me there are going to be better days.

Better days. There will be better days. Right now, I'm just getting through a breakup. I just need more time and more better days.

My breakup playlist is all Joe Hisaishi so I don't feel depressed and numb at the same time.

I walk near the edge of the mountain, looking down at the steep drop. If I tripped and fell, I'd tumble down, probably breaking a limb or two but I'd survive it.

Chase kind of senses me walking closer to the edge and he slides his arm around my waist, shaking his head with disapproval.

Geez. I'm sad but I'm not suicidal!

Steph notices but she surprisingly doesn't say anything about it. She probably knows I won't talk anyways.

We go in a large loop and reach where Steph parked the sedan as the sun is going down.

Before going back to the hotel, we stop by a restaurant and eat taco al pastor, barbacoa, and birria tacos with watermelon juice.

When we get back, Steph and Julian go dancing but I just take a shower and put on just an oversized shirt and go stand on the balcony for some fresh air.

I can see the moon shining over the ocean. It's a beautiful night and I'm lonely. A long sigh escapes my lips, as if it was a call for my fairy godmother, Chase appears.

"Are you doing any better?" He asked.

I shake my head and my shoulders slump. Better won't come until days, right now I'm just lingering like a tiny insignificant speck of dust in unmoving air.

"Are you looking for a rebound or something?" He asked.

This makes me look at him in surprise. Did I hear him correctly?

"I'm not really asking, you know. I'm offering." He said. Since when was he so self deprecating?

"That's not funny."

He laughs nervously. "At least you're talking again. And I'm not trying to be funny."

I rub my temple. "Chase, you're offering yourself like some pillow for me to hump."

"I know." He said, in a completely carefree way.

Do I think it would ruin our friendship? No. We're not prudes by any means and I'm not the type to avoid anyone just because I slept with them.

"You're not saying no."

Geez, can't he be more delicate on the matter? I'm no saint but I do have feelings. "Chase, I don't know."

He closes the balcony door and gets on his knees in front of me. He lifts one of my legs onto his shoulder and my breath catches. "We can try this one time."

I don't reply as he lifts up the shirt. How did he know I wasn't wearing underwear? I should really close the door more often.

His tongue presses against my c**t, making me gasp. My hand goes to his soft brown hair.

He moans, the vibration going through my body like a wave of pleasure. I heard somewhere that most women moaned for their partner to finish quickly, it's the other way around as well. I just never knew it could sound so good coming from the captain of the football team.

"You taste so good, Lia." He said, pressing his hand against my flat stomach. His mouth is hot and his hands are warm, making my knees buckle.

I don't try to be quiet, knowing that no one else is here and the balcony is facing an restricted part of the beach.

"f**k! Chase," I moan, tugging his hair lightly. "That feels so good..."

He groans and palms his hard on over his sweat pants. I whimper and touch myself as well, teasing my sensitive n*****s.

"Chase...Chase, I'm going to cum." I said as his tongue enters me. He pushes two fingers in, curling them inside of me. "No, no, no, f**k! Chase! I'm cumming."

My body convulses and I cry out as a strong orgasm rips through me. He takes his fingers out and latches his mouth on me, lapping up all of my orgasm. My hips grinding against his tongue and I whimper.

He finally gets up and licks his fingers clean. "Did you enjoy that?" He asked. Is he being serious?

I kiss him for the first time and taste myself on his lips. He immediately takes control and his tongue enters my mouth.

He picks me up and walks us to his room, laying me down on the bed. He takes his shirt and pants off and reaches into the nightstand for a condom.

L?

I try not to look too nervous by taking off my shirt. I watch him slide it on and it's a tight fit, I almost feel sorry for him.

He gets on the bed and swiftly slides into me, a deep breath leaving his lips like he's been holding it in for so long.

I wrap my legs around him to keep him still for a little while longer. God, he's SO. f*****g. BIG.

He turns a bit red and I know he's struggling not to thrust in and out of me. I pull him down for a kiss and he relaxes a little.

"Okay, you can move now." I said quietly, spreading my legs out more.

He starts out slow but gradually gains speed as I get more used to his girth. Our moans mix and I arch my back as to get closer to him. The feeling of his skin against mine is exquisite, addicting.

"f**k, yes! Just like that!" I cried out when he f****d me harder.

"You feel so good, Lia." He grunted, kissing my neck. He sucks on my skin and I know he's left a mark.

I rake my nails down his back and he gasps, slamming into me rapidly without any mercy.

The familiar feeling builds up inside of me and my legs tense. "Chase, I'm close." I breathed out.

"c*m, baby. I'll c*m with you." He moaned, rubbing my throbbing c**t. "f**k, wrap your legs around me again."

I whimper as I c*m, clenching around him. My legs cross behind his back and he gasps and buries his face in my neck as he cums. His labored breathing hits my skin and I run my hands down his back and along his big muscular arms.

His eyes close and he leans into my touch. He thrusts a few more times until he can't take it anymore and pulls out, disposing the condom in a bin.

"You're going to be the death of me." He said, putting on a pair of boxers that has penguins on it.

I laugh and put on the shirt he was wearing, it's a little habit I'm sure he'll appreciate. "Thank you, I really needed that." I said.

He gets back in the bed and pulls me to his chest.

"You can sleep in here tonight, I'm sure Julian won't mind sleeping over there." He said.

"Okay."

Maybe this rebound thing isn't too bad. At least I get some cuddles.
