SOULMATES

I ADMIT, I’M A PLAYBOY.

PERCY'S POV..

I knelt in front of her on the bed with her legs between my thighs. I took her hands from her face and looked into it.

"You don't have to be shy. You are beautiful. And, I love t..the way my shirt looks on you." She gave a little smile and relaxed.

"Can I have the blanket now? "

"No!" I giggled and pulled her up against the wall.I traced the tip of my shirt with my finger,very much aware that I was touching her.she flinched a bit and I smiled. She likes it or......

"I can do more....make you feel better, than you've ever felt....it's good right?........"

The problem with Phoebe was, one look at her and all logic flies out the window. I’d be back doing the exact thing I promised myself not to do, back at the exact place I managed to leave seconds ago.

I was caressing her smooth thighs now. She looked at me without blinking. I was about to kiss her when someone knocked at the door. f**k!! She looked at me questionably.

"I'm not expecting anyone." I said and got off the bed.she stood up too.

"What! "

I opened the door and shouted at the same time.

Vanessa!

"Percy.."

"What do you want Nessa? "

I barked angrily.

Instead of answering me she pushed past me.

"Oh I see......Percy what is she doing here? "

she folded her arms and chewed on her gum loudly.

"Get out." I ordered.

"Really? You are choosing..... That...over me? ".

I was boiling with anger now.Phoebe looked like she was gonna blow up any moment. Trust me,the last thing I needed this evening was Nessa fighting Phoebe over me in my room! I grabbed her by the arm and shoved her towards the door. She glared at me and fired back,

"don't be foolish Percy. She can't do any of the things I do for you. She cannot make you feel the way I do. She knows nothing at all. But me, you know I'm good at what I do....and you like it...."

"Get...out! Now! And stop throwing yourself at me ok.why, didn't you find any of the guys to hook up with? Or perhaps, you like what I do to you too. Oh I know, you weren't pleased by what the other guys did to you so you came looking for me? Well too late cause,"

I said in a whisper,

"I've found what I want."

We both looked back at Phoebe who was sitting at the edge of the bed now.

"Listen kid,if you know what's better for you,you would put on your dress and bolt from this room right now. What do you think a guy like Percy will be doing with you? He doesn't want you. He's only gonna toy with you...."

"Just shut up!! What's this,huh? Nessa don't annoy me please. You know what I can do. Get out of here."

She had herself pressed against the door and won't move even when I kept pushing. b***h! She kept rattling on.

"Did he tell you he loves you? Well that's a big lie. He's got no heart to love.all he wants is your body and after that you are tossed. You've seen him with me right, so why are you still hanging around? Don't be stupid girl. Act now before it's too late. Don't say I didn't warn you! "

And with that she turned and walked away. What the f**k? I stood at the door for minutes not knowing what to do.

I passed my hand on my face and turned to look at Phoebe. She was staring back.

Ok that's weird.

"She was only bitching around right. I mean what she said. You're nothing like that are you?."

She said softly. I couldn't believe it. What faith this girl had in me.

"The only reason I hooked up with her was because she was trying so hard to get my attention and I felt like giving her what she wanted. Nothing more."

I moved towards the bed and sat beside her.

"It's late. Let's get some sleep."

I said. Wordlessly she grabbed the blanket from where I tossed it and threw it around herself.

I took off my shirt and Left it on the bedside then climbed in.she turned her back to me and coiled up. Is she upset?

" Phoebe.. " I called

"Mmm" she mumbled. Without thinking I wrapped my arms around her and whispered into her ears.

"She was right. I have never taken any girl serious. I only care about f*****g them,that's all. But with you it’s different…you are different.”

She didn't push me away, she didn't turn, she only whispered back,

"Good night."

I closed my eyes and rested my chin on her back..........

~~~~~~~~~

I stretched lazily and twitched as the sun seeping through the curtains flashed on my face.

" mmmm, "

I opened my eyes slowly and looked beside me.

What? Where did she go? I jumped out of bed and opened the door, piping through it.

" Phoebe. "

I called and waited.No responds came. I closed the door and returned to the bed.

She left.

I couldn't even see her face this morning. I slept so peacefully that I forgot about all my troubles. Suddenly my phone vibrated and I picked it up from the table.

*Sorry I couldn't wait for you to wake up.had to run home. Good morning sleepy head*

I threw the phone on the bed and buried my face in the bed. What a mess!! .

*** ******* *****

I waited for her call all day but none came. It wasn't helping that I kept glancing at my phone every now and then like some love struck teen nor was it ideal to be sulking around like a puppy.

Has this got anything to do with what Nessa did last night? Was she angry but pretended to be fine? Did she believe her but decided to deceive me?

Of course it had to be that. I mean she's not stupid. I practically admitted to her that I use girls as play things. Who in their right senses would stick around after hearing that? Who would set themselves up for heartbreak ?

She's smart enough to understand that I only wanted to get into her pants and after that she's tossed. I'm not sure that's very ideal for a girl with a reputation like hers. She didn't do bad boys or one night stands or stupid things like that. She wanted a committed relationship, a guy she could call her own. Certainly I wasn't that guy and she finally figured it out.

I practically sent off the warning signal and she did what every sensible girl would do. Great ! That's good right? I wouldn't have to pretend and feel like s**t around her knowing I was hiding something from her.

I could tell the guys she didn't give in then get this over with. For the first time in my life I didn't mess something up, to some extent. I didn't hurt Phoebe. That's just great...

Why then was I not feeling too good? Why did it feel like I was lacking blood and had a whole in heart? Why was I still feeling like a piece of s**t !!

Everything we've done together, every conversation we've had began playing out in my head. She was the only person who made me feel like I was worth something, like I was capable of doing good. I wanted to treat her right, I wanted to be good for her.

I didn't care how lame it sounded but I was willing to go to the moon and back just for her. And now it was all over..

*So much for not trying to fall in love*

I rolled my eyes at my thoughts. So what if I liked her? What if I was so close to falling in love with her? She was gone and never coming back. There was no need hanging over her. Besides, she wasn't my type of girl. I like my girls bad.

She was better off without me and so was I. The earlier I got her out of my head, the better. Nothing a good Joint couldn't take care of. I was going to party like never before. Funny thing was, I didn't know whether I was celebrating overcoming love or mourning my loss....

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Dude why do you look so down this evening?"

Lucky called from beside me and I sighed.

Actually I don't know what's wrong with me. I just can't get her out of my head. I just shook my head at him.

"You know what you need? Some hot chic to make you relax...you know what I mean."

Sam said grinning. Yea,I sure do. I have to get Phoebe out of my mind and that could help. After what happened with Nessa last night and my confession, I think she's done. But why did the idea of being with another girl feel so sickening ?

*Cos you don't want to be with any other girl but her*

I cringed at my thought , gulbbing loudly. The guys took that as an answer.

"Nessa, where is Nessa." Lucky called.

"Not that bitch."

I snapped. Nessa sure can calm me but right now,I'm still pissed at her.

"Hei you know vera, that chic I came in with the other day. She seemed to be interested in you.she said to introduce her to you but sake of Phoebe I waved it off.mind me calling her? "

Lucky and set ups! If I remembered the girl well ,she seriously was hot.

*Not as hot as my Phoebe though...*

Jesus Christ what was wrong with me ! I was suppose to be getting her out of my head !

"Ok bro."

I agreed. Few minutes later the girl arrived in what I couldn't in any way call a dress. She moved directly to me and sat beside me, Sam making more room for her. She introduced herself and said she's heard a lot about me.

Jees,I wasn't even paying attention to her. I heard her ask something I actually didn't get but nodded and before I could tell she was already a top me. She pressed her Lips against mine and kissed hard. I retorted in the same way. The guys ooohs and aahhsed us.

She kept wiggling and pressing herself down on me. Minutes later she got off and took my hand leading me out of the hall. I stood up and turned to follow her then froze at once.

"Phoebe!" ......
