Girl I Know

Chapter 14
(Mercury PoV)

I had gotten closer to Brian over the last few days. Also all I did was basically sleep. I couldn’t eat, I just couldn’t bring myself to, so I was occasionally forced to. All I would eat willingly were pretzels so I had those in abundance. Everyone came over almost everyday. Zacky called Mom and told her, and she thinks I should come back home, but me and Zacky both gave her a big “fuck no.”

I was slowly regaining myself; my heart had started to put itself back together. I heard a soft knock on my door. I knew it was Brian because when he peeked inside I saw his curly brown shoulder length hair under a skull cap.

“Hey?” He said quietly and it took me some time to respond.

“Hi…” I squeaked and he walked all the way in. My eyes bugged out of my head when I saw what he was wearing skinny jeans! They were pitch black, but they weren’t the skin tight ones, they were the baggier loose ones that you could only tell were skinnies by the way they cinched at the ankles. They hung a little low on his hips with a ‘6661’ belt. He wore a leather jacket with a JD shirt under It. that accentuated the muscles on his chest. He topped it off with his signature black and white Nikes. He looked amazing.

I think he noticed me staring.

“How are you today sugar?” He said, the word sugar just rolling off of his tongue. The way he said it made it sound sweet. Ever since the…incident a few days ago, the only people I would see constantly were Zacky or Brian. I spent so much time with them it was unhealthy.

“Apathetic…” I replied monotonously. My eyes slowly rolled from the door back to Brian. The bed dipped lower and the sheets rustled as he lay down on them.

“M, you’re a strong girl. I know you can do it okay? Now I have no idea how you feel right now, but I know I’m gonna make you smile today within the next five seconds.” He said smiling at me and attaching his long fingers to my sides. I jumped and I tried to keep a straight face but he just kept going. Him and his skilled little fingers

I burst out laughing and Brian stopped.

“I told you so.” He said smiling at me and I smacked him.

“Brian, everything is falling apart…” I said leaning on him.

“How?”

“It just feels like it is, nothing will ever be the same for me. And you guys are taking the blame for this and it just makes the feeling worse.

“I don’t know what to say to that.” He said honestly and I sighed.

“Then just listen Brian.”

“I feel like we aren’t friends anymore. I feel alone.” I told him and he made me look at him, tipping my chin up so I could stare into his gorgeous face.

“M, that isn’t and will never, be true. I’ll always love you.”

“No…you don’t. You said she was better than me, it’s true.” I said on the verge of tears. I knew he loved me, but he wasn’t in love with me. He wanted her, not me.

“M, I didn’t mean that. I don’t even know why I defended her the way I did. I guess I couldn’t let go of her, my old feelings for her resurfacing. I’m sorry I yelled at you the way I did, but it made me realize something. I stared up at him, waiting for him to continue.

“That really hurt me dude. You haven’t yelled at me like that ever. No one has, not even Zacky.” I said. An extremely guilty look crossed over his face. He ran his fingers through the soft curls I left in my hair. I ate up his touch, reveling in the feeling of his fingers massaging my scalp.

“I’m really sorry M…”

“You use that word a lot I’ve noticed.” I said playing with the sleeve of his jacket.

“I know…but I’ll make it up to you M. I promise.” I didn’t need to hear anymore. When Brian said ‘I promise’ I knew he would. He’s never broken one to me yet.

“You mean so much more to me than Michelle ever could M, never think that I don’t love you, or that I don’t care about you because I always will” He said, and I felt a warmness in my heart, that I haven’t felt for a long time.

“Thanks Brian. You’re literally my best friend, I love you.”

“I love you too M. More than you know.” He said kissing my forehead. What did he mean?

“Does that mean I have to compete with Zacky for your affection?” He said childishly and I had to laugh. I didn’t want to be happy, I didn’t want to talk, and I didn’t want to enjoy my life. But when I was around Brian, that’s all he took out of me. I was almost never sad around him, except when he was the true cause of it.

“Why are you so dressed up Bri?” I asked pinching the fabric of his jeans.

“I have a hot date.” He said laughing and that warmness went away. He noticed my change in body language.

“You okay?’

“I thought you were staying with me today, because Zacky has stuff to do.” I said making the saddest eyes I could muster. I really needed him to stay with me. I couldn’t be alone.
“Crap I forgot…” He said making a pained face.

“Brian you can get laid tomorrow, jeez.” I said rolling my eyes and crossing my arms.

“But I wanted to right noowww thoughhh!” He whined draping himself over me.

“Brian…get off.” I said trying to shove him off but he was too fat.

“Seriously Brian it hurts!” I said louder and he got up pouting at me.

“Where does it hurt?” he asked seriously and I pointed to my forehead that was pressed against the bed under his immense force.

He leaned down and pressed a soft slow kiss there.

“Better?” I knew how this went.

“It hurts here too...”I said pointing to my cheek, he planted kisses all over my cheek. I was so satisfied with myself. Michelle wasn’t this good now was she…?

“Thank you Dr.” I said jokingly and he nudged me.

“Anything for you my girl.” He said pressing my nose.

“Okay now at this rate the next thing you’ll be kissing is my ass.” I said and he looked mock offended.

“Oh please you kiss my ass so much more than I do.” He said scoffing.

“Oh really?” I challenged raising my eyebrows.

“Yeah! Oh Brian…it hurt’s here too! Kiss it! Kiiiisss Iiiitt!” He said whining and pointing to his ass when he said ‘kiss it.’

“Whatever, Brian. You’re mean, your gonna leave me all alone with myself all day.” I pouted and he just squeezed me.

“I could just cancel…” He just simply said and I instantly felt kind of bad. Yeah I wanted him to stay home with me, but I don’t want him to feel like he’s babysitting.

“Brian you don’t have to if you don’t want. I don’t want you to have to baby-sit me.” I said reprimanding myself for my selfishness.

“No, M if you need me. I’ll stay with you, really.” He said looking into my eyes really saying it wasn’t a big deal.

“Thank you Bri-Pie, I can’t be alone.” I said hugging his torso…his perfectly defined torso.

“I wouldn’t want to leave you alone.” He said looking into my eyes. And I smiled brightly as his chocolate eyes seemed to melt before mine. I couldn’t stop staring at him.

“M is there something on my face?” He said confused and it was too late to catch myself now.

“Uhh, yeah I noticed you took out your nose ring and I can see the hole.” I said smiling dumbly at my excuse. Luckily enough Brian is dumb enough to buy it.

“Oh ha.” He said genuinely laughing.

“Brian, can we go in the Jacuzzi today again?” I asked changing the subject and he nodded.

“Fuck yeah!” he shouted getting up to go get his swim trunks. I was really enjoying myself with him. When everyone else failed to comfort me, he always could. Every time, even if he was fixing his own mistake.

I got up and changed into a black monokini, since I learned my lesson with Val’s stripper-kini. I put a long shirt over it and walked outside. Brian walked out of his room with a huge towel, blue and black swim trunks, sunglasses and his nose ring back in.

“Ha, I see you have plugged the hole in your face.” I said smiling.

“Shut up, ass kisser.” He said going down the stairs. He barely even jiggled, damn. I dorky smile cross my face as I followed suit.

“You wiener.” I said and he just laughed.

“You are what you eat.” He said and I smirked.

“Du liebe mein teil.” I said and he looked confused.
“It means you like my penis.” He looked at me freaked out before he started laughing.

“Well it’s true. You just love my cock don’t you Brian.” I taunted and he kept laughing.

“Totally.” He said uncovering the Jacuzzi and turning on the jets and the heat. I pulled the shirt over my head and I stepped in, as the bubbly water went up to my neck by the last step.

“Oops!” I said as my feet couldn’t touch the bottom without my head going under. Brian stood up no problem and smirked.

“Ha-ha you freak.” I laughed and he grabbed my arm pulling me over to him. I loved his body pressed against mine. We sat adjacent submerged on one of the stairs, my foot tickling Brian’s and he giggled. His giggle was cute, and so was his boyish smile.

“When is Zacky coming back?” I asked and he just shrugged, putting his sunglasses on his eyes and leaning back.

“B, you’re not cool. Stop trying.” I said taking his sunglasses and putting them on my face.

“Now this is where it’s at.” I said pointing to myself and mimicking his position. He sneered and stole them back. I dipped my head underwater and opened my eyes. I could see the lights on the bottom, and Brian’s feminine legs. I closed them and came back up, but I forgot that it burns after a while.

“Ow! Ow! It burns!” I said rubbing my eyes trying to get the water out.

“You okay?” He asked and I opened my eyes wide.

“Is it red Brian? Can you check?” I opened my eyes wide and held it there for him to inspect it. His face was so dangerously close to mine, as was his body. He peered inside my green eyes and I stared back.

“It’s a little irritated and pink, but it’ll go away in a few.” He said, his voice sounding so smooth and his breath fanned over my face. It smelled like tic tacs and mintyness. I wonder if he tasted that way too.

After I released my eyelids we stayed in close proximity to each other. His eyes flashed to my lips before flashing back up to my eyes, and I did the same. A pull, slowly brought us together, like the universe was pushing against us.

His nose was brushing mine and his eyes closed. His lips just barely ghosted mine and he snaked an arm around my waist and pulled me towards him, catching our lips in a passion filled kiss that sent sparks like a short circuit. I shifted and threw my arms around his neck and he kissed me with more hunger, more want, more need. I threw my leg over his waist and I straddled his lap. I ground my hips into him and he reciprocated the action. I could feel his erection hardening under me, and he moaned against my lips sending a vibration through me. I ran my hand down his chest, past his blueblood tattoo and danced my fingers over his member.

I opened my mouth eagerly, and his tongue flicked out and we tangled them together as we tasted each other, god he tasted so good. He wrapped his arms around my back and pressed our bodies even closer together and I ran my hands down his wet sleek back, feeling every ripple and muscle.

“Mmmh, Brian…” I moaned, and when that escaped my mouth we both froze, and we pulled away from each other, more like we tore away from each other.
“Brian.”

“Mercury.” We both said at the same time. We stared at each other in shock and I touched my lips as if that really happened.

“Brian! I am so sorry! Dude. Like, oh man I’m sorry!” I said tripping on my words. He started to apologize too.

“No M! I kissed you; I don’t know why I did. I’m sorry too.”

“I’m sorry…” He said pouting and some reason that turned me on.

“So sorry …” I said and I leaned in and fiercely caught his lips in a fiery kiss and he returned it. I pulled away making a sound

“M, we shouldn’t have done that.” He said looking at me seriously and I returned the expression.

“I know I’m sorry I don’t know what came over me.” I apologized twiddling my fingers.

“Can we pretend like this never happened?” Brian asked and my heart cracked a little.

“Yeah, that would be great.” I said in agreement.

“I think it would be a good idea to get out of the hot tub.” He suggested stepping out and I followed, grabbing my towel and wrapping it around my body. We wordlessly walked up the stairs and into our rooms.

I quickly rinsed in the shower and dried my skin before putting on a t shirt and shorts. I walked down the hall and I heard moans coming from Brian’s room. I peeked through the small space that the door was left open. I didn’t make one sound but my eyes widened when I saw Brian on the bed with his eyes closed stroking himself.

“Oh fuck…” He moaned running his hand up and down his length faster. He was huge by the way. His hips bucked up into his hands and more sexy moans left his mouth. I could tell he was trying to keep quiet because they were barely audible from my distance. I felt a tingling sensation pool in my lower abdomen watching him do this.

His hips jerked up once as he came in his hand

“God, M…” He hissed a look of pure ecstasy on his face. I nearly gasped as I moved away from the door and creeped away from it back to my room. I sat on my bed and I was shocked at what I saw.

Did he just moan my name?
