actually, but…” I hesitated, “I thought you were gay?”
“What! No!” Tommy yelled shocked and totally offended. “Why would you think that?”
“Cause C…” I stopped myself. “You know what, my mistake, I’m sorry. Forgive me, please,” I said giving him my best sad puppy face.
He picked up my hand and kissed it. “All is forgiven. Will you do me a favor and tell Cole I had to leave and I’ll talk to him later.”
“Is everything okay?”
“Yeah I just want to sneak away before Peyton gets back.”
I totally understood. “No problem, I’ll let him know.”
Tommy said goodbye and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I thought I might never wash this cheek again.
About two minutes after Tommy left Logan appeared and sat down next to me. This was definitely out of character for him. He never acknowledged me in public like this. “You look beautiful tonight,” Logan said.
“Thanks,” I mumbled.
What is he up to?
“I can’t wait till later,” he whispered in my ear and then kissed my cheek. I almost fell over from shock. What the hell was he doing? Even Jessie gave us a funny look. He never showed affection towards me, especially in public and with witnesses. He always said it would ruin what we have, that our relationship was special. I wasn’t that dumb. It was so he could still hit on other chicks without them wondering who I was. I was his fun on the side.
He put his hand on my knee and shot me his ‘come hither’ smile. I looked into his eyes and at that smile and I forgot everything. I didn’t even notice Cole and Peyton had come back with the drinks.
“Where’s Tommy?” Peyton asked.
“Oh Yeah, Cole, Tommy wanted me to tell you, something came up and he had to leave. He said he’d talk to you later.”
“He text me and told me, thanks.”
I was feeling a little guilty with Logan sitting next to me. Since Cole was now by himself.
Logan was staring at Cole giving him the once over. He put his arm around me all possessively and just smiled at Cole.
Cole just stood there not even looking at Logan, he just kept his eyes on me. He had an expression on his face like he felt sorry for me. Sorry, because he knew what kind of guy Logan was and sorry because he thought I didn’t know better.
I couldn’t look at him anymore, there seemed to be too much pain in his eyes. “Here Cole, since Tommy left you can sit here,”
Peyton said and got up and moved over a chair so Cole would be sitting right next to me.
“Thanks, but I’m alright,” Cole said.
Logan had a cocky grin on his face and I started understanding why he was acting the way he was. I just wanted to say to him,
“Why don’t you just take your dick out and piss all over me. It’s obvious you’re trying to claim your territory.”
Annoyed, I sat up causing his arm to fall off my shoulders. He looked at me, shrugged, and kissed me on the lips once again marking his spot. “Text me later,” he said as he stood up and gave Cole a look like he won.
As Logan walked away he accidentally, on purpose, bumped into Cole slamming his shoulder into his. Cole didn’t seem to let it bother him. He just brushed it off like it was nothing.
Once Logan was out of sight, Cole slowly made his way back over to the seat next to mine. Being cautious not to step on anyone’s toes—metaphorically speaking. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you had a boyfriend,” Cole said.
“I don’t. He’s not my boyfriend.” Cole looked at me as confused as anyone would after Logan’s ridiculous display. So I just said,
“Long story.”
“I’ve got time,” he said coyly.
Before I could come up with an excuse one of the bouncers starting letting everyone know it was closing time and we had to finish up our drinks and go.
“Maybe some other time, here’s my number,” Cole said handing me a card. “Give me a call, anytime.”
“I…” I was about to tell him, “don’t bother, I won’t call,” in a nice way, but he cut me
