“I will repair you. Your heart is broke. Your body is badly bruised far below the surface, but I will repair you.” His voice changed as he grinned with humor. “If I can fix a car or a bike, I can at least try to fix you too.” I pound my fist into his chest and we both fell on the bed with laughter.
Chapter 6
I was just stepping from my relaxing shower, when I heard a huge commotion from upstairs. With pounded thundering above the ceiling, I thought of the worst. I quickly threw my clothes on and wrapped a towel around my wet hair. I raced up the stairs to see what was going on. The door to the top of the stairs flew open when I ran into the kitchen.
“I swear I'll beat the living shit out of you.” Scott had Davien pinned to the wall by his shoulders. Scott had a firm grip on Davien's body. Davien stood straight and never attempted to move, he only flared his nostrils in Scott's direction. Neither of the men noticed my arrival.
“It's not like that, Scott!” His hands attempted to move Scott's arms from his chest. But Scott held him tightly against the wall. The look on Davien's face was covered in guilt.
I ran over and pulled the two apart. They both drew away. Their eyes never left each others, never once looking at me. “What the hell is going on?” I looked at both Scott and Davien waiting for answers. But they both avoided me.
“You're fucking with her feelings, Davien. Let me find out you fucked her.” He screamed as he put his finger directly at Davien's nose. “I will beat the shit out of you... promise.” I had never heard that voice come from Scott's mouth. He was beyond angry and I began worrying if the situation was safe. I tried to calm the two, but they both looked through me.
I looked at Davien, I looked at Scott and then I looked at Davien again “Fucked who?” I screamed at both men who looked like they were seriously going to kill each other. They ignored my question, so I repeated myself. “Fucked who, Davien?” After last night, I didn't want to know who he's been fucking.
“Mind your own fucking business, Scott. Don't do this shit in front of Avery. It's not right.” Scott stepped away and Davien pulled me to his body, wrapping his arms across my back. “She doesn't deserve to hear this!” It wasn't my business at all and I wanted nothing to do with the conversation or fight. Obviously after an intimate night with Davien, he was embarrassed that Scott was revealing his secrets in front of me.
“What the hell is going on, Davien?”
“Don't worry about it, Avery.” He screamed.
“You fucked someone?” I looked into his eyes waiting for truth and he never answered. I shook my head with disgust. I wanted to spit in his face. “Wow, Davien. You told me you hadn't fucked in months and now Scott announces it to the world. Honesty is a bitch, huh?” I pulled out of his arms. Yanking myself away. With the anger in Scott's voice, I began wondering if he had slept with Natalia. My heart rate grew even faster at the thought.
Scott returned to the kitchen, just as angry as a minute ago. “Apologize to her, Davien, apologize to the woman. You're not going to disrespect her in my home”.
“I never fucked anyone, Scott.” He threw his hands in the air then dropped them to his head where he gripped his hair in opposite directions. He screamed in strong anger. His face showed all of his embarrassed emotions. He squint his eyes at me and then flipped his eyes to meet Scott's.“No, I didn't fuck her.... I made love to Avery. It's not the same. I'm sorry, I'm sorry... damn!”
My face changed shades after shades of red as I looked between the two men. Davien dropped to the floor, his knees bent to his chest. His face resting between his knees. I stood frozen! I couldn't move.
I finally held my hand out to Scott, letting him know to please leave the room. I walked to Davien and placed my hand to Davien's shoulder.“Get up.” I demanded.
“I'm sorry, Avery. I promise I'll never do it again. I don't mess with your head.” He pleaded.
“You didn't mess with my head. You're talking to me as if you forced me to have sex with you. You didn't force me. I wanted it just as badly as you did.” I pushed his forehead back until his head faced up and his eyes met mine. “It's not what Scott thinks. He is only trying to protect me.”
“I'm sorry, Avery.” Davien begged.
“Go downstairs, I'll be down there in a minute.” Davien questioned my words and I pointed towards the stairs. He finally stepped to his feet and walked to the stairs, looking back he studied my facial expressions.
I walked to the living room where Scott sat on the couch. His breathing was rapid with anger. “Hey, Scott, can I talk to you?” He took a long breath and nodded his head “It's not what you think. Really.”
“Man, Avery, I never thought this would happen. I trusted him. I thought that you were merely a bed mate last night. I am so sorry that I've done this to you. You can take my bed tonight, I'll sleep on the couch.” Scott's fingers scratched at his head as he fought over his words. “ Davien doesn't do this shit. He doesn't sleep with girls in his bed and I told myself he wouldn't with you either. What the hell was I thinking... she's gonna kill me!”
It was actually kind of funny to listen to the manly Scott worried over tiny petite Natalia attacking him “That's not what I want. Scott, I've slept in bed with him for the third time” Scott's eyes grew wide. “The night I came home with you and Natalia, you guys took off upstairs before I even had a chance to get a ride home. I slept in Davien's bed. Friday when you guys took me from Anthony's home, Davien was a total ass to me all night, but I still slept in his bed with him. And he respected me each time and said he wouldn't make a move on me... even when I tried. But last night was different. I wanted it just as bad. We made love.”
I watched Scott's face for long moments as he took my words in. I was sure at that moment that it was the first time he found out about the previous nights of being in Davien's bed. “Are you sure?” I nodded my head “If you ever change your mind, we'll fix things. I promised Natalia I would take care of you.”
I reached over and dropped myself to Scott. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. “Thank you.” I gave him a friendly kiss on the cheek. “You're like a fucking over protective brother.”
Walking to the top of the stairs I called for Davien to come back up. I led him to the living room where Scott stood waiting. “Sorry, man.” Davien looked into Scott's eyes, hoping for he would accept his apology
They both gave each other a half hug. “Don't hurt her dude, she's better than that.” Scott warned.
“I wont. You've gotta trust me. Our relationship is stronger than what others have noticed. When's the last time you've seen me bring a women to my bed?” Scott's eyebrows rose and he shrugged his shoulder, his head shook without answer. “Yeah I know, she's different.” I felt such a huge relief when the two finally agreed.

I promised Scott that I would take things slow with Davien. I didn't necessarily want to jump into a new relationship and he asked me to keep things a little quiet from Natalia for the time being. It was nearly impossible since she was my best friend. Natalia was the one person that I ran to with new secrets about crushes I had on guys. She was the person I went to with gossip and for Natalia being obnoxious and outspoken at many times, she still always kept my secrets safe. Now I had to keep this quiet... for awhile.
When Natalia came over later that afternoon we all sat in the living room and after half an hour of arguing over the TV, the four of us agreed to a movie. “I am so not watching a damn football game, Scott.” Then Natalia pointed to Davien. “Or Scar face, Davien”.
“What the hell is wrong with Scar face?” Davien jumped at her with mischievous looks. It was a little awkward at times because Natalia insisted on sitting cuddled up with Scott, leaving no choice for Davien to sit next to me. I so badly wanted to hold his hand or place my head in his lap, but I didn't. I simply sat next to Davien as a friend. We laughed with the little comments that Scott and Natalia told each other. “I'm running to the store to grab a few beers and some chips, anyone come with?”
I kept my eyes focused on the TV while the obvious question was directed at me. “Hey, Avery, why don't you go with him. Scott and I will stay back.” My eyes flew back to Natalia. “C'mon, you live with the guy. Anyways Scott could probably use a blow job right now.” Scott looked impressed but I looked at Natalia with shock at her words. “I'm just kidding, now you two little kids behave yourself.” She spoke like a Mother.
Davien stood in the doorway nodding his head for me to follow him. I stood up and darted my eyes back to Natalia and shook my head. I was trying my best to look like I didn't want to go with Davien. But I knew I was jumping with joy, knowing I would be holding his waist with in minutes and my body was craving him so badly right now. If only she knew the truth.
We stepped out the townhouse apartment and Davien immediately grabbed my hand, pulling me close to his body.“Damn I wanna take you downstairs so badly.” I used my free hand to pound on his back. “Shit, I'm just telling you the truth.”
“Stop, if Natalia knew everything, if she knew that we had fucked, she'd not only be on my ass.. she'd be kicking your ass.” We stepped over his bike and his hands laced my fingers tightly around him.
“I never fucked you.” He argued. The bike started with a loud roar and the kick stand went up and Davien pushed to the streets. “I never will”.
“Don't you just sound like Mr. Innocent.” I guarded the breeze to my face as I placed my cheek to his back. Once again his aroma hit me instantly. “Don't admit to your sex life?”
“You know what I mean, Avery” He turned the corner in the direction to the nearest gas station. “It's not like that, you're not that type of girl.”
When we arrived at the small gas station, we sat for long moments enjoying our time alone. I held my hands around his waist and his hands wrapped around tangled fingers. His face turned to mine and he lowered his lips to meet me. He was amazing with perfect kisses, soft and gentle that quickly turned passionate and strong. A man like Davien, I would've never expected from him. I only imagined from CJ's that he was the type that would suck on random girls necks and take 'em home to fuck each like a line of dogs.
I didn't want to see that side of Davien even though I knew it was there, some where. I just didn't want the image to ruin the relationship we had. We weren't a couple but truth was I wanted him more than anything at the moment.
Not wanting to end our intimate moment, Davien finally released me and helped me off his bike. “Grab some chips and then we'll find some beer.” I looked over the shelves of the many types of junk food.
“This okay?” I pointed to a simple bag of nacho Doritos.
“Yeah grab something else too, I'll be at the coolers grabbing some beers.”
After Davien paid, we headed back to the bike. “Um... I guess I'm not putting this in the trunk.” I laughed.
He took the chips from my hands and sat the beer on his lap. He held his hand out. “C'mon, just sit like normal and hold the stuff around me.” I followed his orders with caution. “Don't bang my nuts though.” He turned and left a simple peck on my lips.
Smiling at each other like two people in love, Davien dropped my hand before we stepped through the door. “Beers here.” Davien announced to the world with an obnoxious scream.
Scott jumped from his seat next to Natalia and reached for the bags which I held. I walked to the living room to sit across Natalia. The guys were ridiculous in the kitchen and the two of us sat giggling at the laughter between them. What a 12 pack of beer and a couple bags of chips could do to some guys. “Weirdos.” Natalia laughed. “What did you pick up some gold out there? The guys sound crazy”.
“Just some beer and chips, guess they get excited over stupid stuff.” I knew Davien was overwhelmed with joy from our night before and it was amazing to hear the two of them happy together again. If only Natalia knew that Scott had Davien pinned against that same kitchen wall just hours ago, she would've placed me in a hotel room immediately.
The guys walked in holding two beers each and handing both Natalia and I their second one. Davien placed a large bowl of chips on the coffee table between the four of us. Without thinking Davien dropped his body to the couch and lowered his head to my lap. He took one look at Natalia's widened eyes and immediately sat up. “Ohhh I think someone's got the hots for you, Avery.” Natalia caused me to blush.
