What Happens Under The Sun

I was in the kitchen refilling everyone's drinks and making popcorn and Jessica and Jordan's lips had found each other and the two were currently preoccupied.

''Derek, could you get that?'' I asked.

''Sure!'' he called back and I heard him walking towards the door.

*~Tom's Point of View~*

I knocked on the door and waited. I heard someone coming and smirked slightly. She was home.

The door opened and-

''Can I help you?'' a dark haired guy asked.

''Is Kate here?'' I asked hesitantly. Kate said she had a roommate; maybe this was her roommate's boyfriend.

''Yea, I'll get her.'' the guy said and then disappeared from the doorway.

*~Kate's Point of View~*

''Who is it?'' I asked when I heard Derek coming into the kitchen. He didn’t reply.

''Dere- ah!'' I screamed when he grabbed me around my waist and threw me over his shoulder.

''Put me down!'' I laughed.

''You're needed at the door.'' He told me.

''I can walk you know.'' I said as he carried me towards the door.

''But this is so much more fun.'' He replied and I laughed.

''Here she is.'' Derek said when he stopped moving and I assumed we were at the door. Because I was hanging over his shoulder, I couldn't see anything but what was behind him.

''Derek, you're gonna have to turn around.'' I told him.

''Right, right.'' He said and I giggled. He turned around so that I was facing the door and my eyes damn near popped out of my head.

*~Tom's Point of View~*

''Tom.'' Kate said, her eyes wide. Clearly she wasn't expecting me, especially since she had some other guy over.

''Derek, put me down.'' She said to the guy who was holding her, her tone was serious. Who the hell was this guy? Her boyfriend? Her brother? Yea, maybe it was her brother.

He let her down and she straightened herself out.

''What're you doing here?'' she asked. I looked rather pointedly at the guy who had been holding her –now standing beside her- and she realized I wanted to know who he was.

''Oh, Tom, this is Derek. Derek this is Tom.'' She said, gesturing back and forth between us. Neither of us stuck out our hands to shake, we just nodded politely. It was obvious we were wary of each other.

''So what are you doing here?'' she asked again.

''I came over to find out if you wanted to go out, but clearly you're busy.'' I said, being cautious of what I said around this guy. He wasn't her roommate otherwise I wouldn't have bothered, she probably told her roommate everything. But if he was her brother or something, I could get us both in trouble.

''Yea actually, we're just-''

''Watching some movies.'' Derek said and his hand fell almost protectively to her waist. This guy was definitely not her brother.

Her pants were hanging low on her hips around where he had put his hand, exposing a bit of skin across her middle. The memory of kissing every inch of that bare patch of skin jumped to the front of my mind as I looked at her. It was quickly replaced with a vision of this guy in bed with her, both of their bodies writhing and sweaty as he did the same thing. Then I realized the reason I hadn't seen Kate all week.

I suddenly had an immense hate for this guy and it took everything I had not to deck him right there. I didn't know why I was feeling so strongly about this, it's not like Kate was my girlfriend or anything so I shouldn't hate this guy I didn't know just because he was the one fucking her now. But I did anyway, I couldn't help it.

''Oh, alright then, maybe another time.'' I said, turning to leave.

''Sorry.'' Kate said and I could hear a mix of regret and disappointment in her voice. Clearly, Derek did too because he ever so subtly pulled her closer towards him.

I left without looking back.

So much for that plan.
