falling for you

chapter 5

Emma's pov.

the night at the lake I danced with Corbin I knew I shouldn't have. I was a little tipsy and wanted to flirt with him but I wasn't really sure how, more so with my dad and brother right there. I had fun dancing with him, more than I should have. but I also know it will never go any where.

that was a little over two weeks ago, I've officially broke up with Steven. not because of my feelings I think I have for Corbin but because I'm done with being treated like crap. he didn't take it well and says I'll be back but I'll show him I don't need him.

all sage has talked about at work is how she's heard about the break up of course and she thinks I'm stupid for breaking his heart.

and of course she's been asking about Corbin, thankfully since he hasn't spoke to me since the lake I don't have any news to give her.

tonight we're having a house warming get together for Corbin as he's moved into his own place, I wouldn't be going but my brother invited sage and me when he came in ordering some sweets for it.

I'm now sitting in his new driveway a little late because I definitely didn't want to be the first one here, seems there is a lot of people here though so maybe I can just blend in and avoid him.

as I make my way inside I give my dad a hug whose chatting with corbins mama

" did you make those?"

she points to the giant box of cupcakes in my hands

" yes ma'am marks special order of some Oreo cupcakes"

she smiles grabbing them from me and sets them about the counter

" they look delicious. I don't know anyone who can resist your sweets"

her complement makes me blush, I'm not very good at receiving them

my dad of course agrees with her before my brother walks up followed by Corbin and another guy

" there's my little sister. I have some one interested in meeting you"

he says as he pulls me in for a hug and I can't help but roll my eyes

" love the house corb you did good"

I say giving him a small hug as well

" bub no offense but shouldn't you be worried about your own love life and not mine"

I ask playfully pushing his shoulder

" well Dylan here may have seen a family picture on my desk and asked for an introduction"

he says to me pointing to the guy beside him.

I give him a small smile as I take him in, he isn't bad looking at all. you can tell he at least takes care of his body, isn't quite as tall as Corbin but has short dark hair and beautiful dark eyes with a clean shaven face.

I stick my hand out and he takes it gently

" I'm Emma, nice to meet you"

he gives me a beautiful full smile

" I'm Dylan sorry for him corning you for me but I won't lie when I saw your picture I really wanted to meet you."

I blush slightly

" no problem. just don't believe anything he tells you. he thinks I'm a spoiled brat"

this makes everyone chuckle

" you and I both know dad has spoiled you rotten"

mark says and I can see dad nodding I roll my eyes at them

" absolutely nothing wrong with being spoiled"

Dylan says giving me a sly wink and I can feel my cheeks heat once again I hear Corbin clear his throat

" isn't she still dating someone"

he asking glaring at my brother

" nope she finally got rid of that loser so she's able to break as many hearts as she pleases.

mark pats Dylan on the shoulder.

" I've made the introduction no promises she'll actually give you a chance"

he says chuckling as he walks away.

thankfully Casey and Miley walk up saving me from the weirdness

" hey girl Miley is dying for a cupcake"

she says to me and I smile taking Mikey from her arms

" hey my sweet girl needing some sweets?"

I ask her and she nods excited so I turn to give her a cupcake

" I'm Casey the best friend and that's my little girl Miley".

Casey introduces herself

" I'm Dylan. I work with mark hopefully we will be seeing more of each other. if she's interested in getting to know me that is"

he tells her and Casey laughs.

we make our way into the back yard chatting together

I can't help but notice sage practically throwing herself at Corbin, she's in a really short red dress and heels. not exactly what you'd expect for someone to wear to a house warming I think to myself as I look around at everyone else then down at myself. I just threw on a pair of jean shorts and tshirt with a hat to keep the hair from my face today. I let out a sigh, I'm not near enough for someone like him. I shake the thoughts from my head as Dylan asks me how long I've been working at the bakery.

soon we're chatting as I slowly sip my drink, Corbin walks up to us with his hands in his pockets. I was so caught up in the conversation with Dylan I didn't see him come this way

" hey sunshine mind if I ask for a girl's opinion inside?"

he asks looking me in the eyes

I give him a smile and look at Dylan and Casey

" I'll be back guys"

Corbin leads me inside with his hand gently on the small of my back. he doesn't say a word as we enter the now empty kitchen. he pours himself a drink

" want one?"

he asks and I simply shake my head

" uh no thanks I've gotta drive home and you know my brother"

we both chuckle knowing if I drink to much he definitely won't be letting me leave on my own.

he takes a drink and sighs out. I turn to look out his kitchen window as the sun starts to set

" it's a nice view"

I say trying to figure out what he needed my help with. I turn when he doesn't respond and end up coming face to face with his chest. my breathing picks up as I look up into his eyes. being this close to him I can smell his cologne, I want to look away before I do something stupid but I can't seem to make myself

" so uh what did you need"

I stutter out as he smirks down at me.

" do you like him?"

he questions and I'm confused

" who?"

" Dalton?"

I think for a moment I don't know a Dalton

" Dylan?" I question

and he only nods I simply shrug. I literally just met the guy how should I know if I like him, I mean yeah he's a good looking guy but I don't actually know him

I'm brought from my thoughts when his lips take mine. at first I'm surprised but soon my hands grip the front of his shirt holding him to me.

he pulls back slightly resting his head on mine

" I'm sorry" he whispers

I don't respond I just pull him in for another heart stopping kiss. his hands hold my face but then all to soon for my liking he pulls away. pulling his body from my completely

he runs his hands through his hair

" I shouldn't have done that"

I reach out and touch his arm

" I didn't stop you. I even kissed you also"

I whisper out but he just keeps his back to me shaking his head. he pulls at his hair and grunts

" this can't happen. I shouldn't have even crossed that line"

" because of mark?"

I question confused as to what is going on. I mean this is what I've been wanting but now he's taking it back

" yes. and because I'm wrong for you sunshine. f**k I'm so f****d up on my own I can't deal with a relationship on top of it"

I grab his hand squeezing

" I can't help you know. if you'd let me"

he pulls his hand from me turning to look me in the eyes

" no! I won't do that. we won't work this won't work"

he says pointing between us then continues

" just forget this please. I'm sorry"

and he walks away leaving me with tears in my eyes.

the guy I like has just kissed me then told me that he won't be with me all in a span of like 5 minutes.

I run to the bathroom splashing my face with water trying to compose myself.

I go back out and Casey raises a brow at me

" I'll tell you later"

I whisper to her and she nods.

Dylan walks up to us smiling, he has a juice for Miley and cokes for all of us I give him my best smile I can at the moment.

I can't help it as my eyes search the yard for Corbin. I find him, my brother and other people all standing around talking as sage wraps herself around his arm.

I've gotta get out of here.

Corbin pov.

fuck! I knew I shouldn't have done that. but seeing her laughing with that prick something in me snapped I needed to be alone with her. kissing her wasn't my plan and I knew I should've have opened that box because damn it was a world spinning kiss. I try to clear my head as sage as made herself a place on my arm as everyone is talking.

I can't have Emma. I know that. I know I shouldn't have messed with her mind so now I'm just going to do my best to avoid her and being anywhere near alone with her. she deserves so much better.

thankfully the party has winded down and most have left by now, just me, mark and me Marshall picking things up. I noticed sage left her number on my counter as I pick it up mark pats my shoulder

" she might be some fun"

he wiggles his brows at me and I shake my head at him laughing

" she seems like she maybe trouble".

I say and he laughs.

that night as I'm laying in bed I can't get the kiss with Emma out of my mind. I pick up my phone and think of calling her but I know that wouldn't be a good idea. after tossing and turning I pick it back yard send text

me-hey pretty girl. I'm glad you left your number

almost instantly I get a reply

sage- hey hot stuff. figured you may need it. ( wink face)

I shake my head. I already know this isn't a good idea but f**k I need a distraction and honestly this maybe the answer I need. maybe I just need to get laid.

me- need some company?

sage- I definitely wouldn't mind it

sage- ( address)

me-be there in 30

I throw on some shorts and tshirt. I'm not trying to impress her, obviously she knows what I'm going to her house so late for.

on the drive over I can't help but feel guilty but I've gotta get that out of my head.

as soon as I ring the door bell she opens the door to her apartment in nothing but a thong and bra smiling at me

I look over her small body, I'm definitely used to a little more curves but f**k it.

she pulls me inside and her lips and hands are all over me before I can even say a word.
