Heads or Tails
Prologue
I groaned in exasperation. "Don't you dare make this seem like it's my fault, because it's not! You're the one who suggested this whole thing in the first place." I glared at him as I said this, pulling his sickeningly silky duvet up so I was covered from the neck down. There wasn't any chance of us doing this anymore tonight - probably not ever. He could kick me out of my apartment and onto the streets for all I cared. I was done sleeping with the asshole.
He sighed, "I know I did, but I just thought..."
"That what?" I spat, "That it'd be fun? That fucking around with my feelings was 'no big deal'? Because it is. I didn't mind us doing this the first month, or even the second. But what got to me - what really, really got me mad was that you led me on. You led to to think that you actually liked me, and I wasn't just your personal slut."
"No," He began, glaring. "I didn't think it'd be fun. Even though you think I'm a rich, spoilt, selfish jerk, I-"
"Wait, don't tell me," I laughed one quick, humorless laugh, "you're going to spin me some sob-story about poor little Austin Moon who dreamt of being a super-star, but was forced to partake in his parents real-estate business, right?"
He shut his eyes, and rubbed his temples. "I just don't get you, Ally. One minute you're smiling, and even singing. The next, you're screaming at me.I didn't reply, and he continued, "I didn't mean to hurt you - I swear, I didn't. But, Ally, you've made it clear time and time again, ever since I showed up at your apartment with this... preposition, that all we were doing was having sex, nothing more. You didn't even want to be my friend. And now you're angry because you saw me with someone else? It just doesn't make sense.
I huffed, then got out of the bed, ignoring his eyes watching my naked body. I was done with him, and his stupid fancy apartment, and his stupid controlling ways, and just every-fucking-thing about him.
I wondered where I'd live now that he wasn't paying my rent for me anymore. My rent was already payed for this month, so that gave me about a week.
I didn't look back at him as I pulled on my shoes and started towards the door.
"So assume you don't want me paying your rent for you anymore?" He asked. I spun around to look at him.
"You assume correctly." I started towards the door of his apartment again. "Since you've suddenly decided you don't want anything I can offer you..." I stopped walking but didn't turn around. He could say whatever he needed to say to my back. When he didn't continue, I reluctantly turned around. He was sitting on his bed in his boxer shorts with a satisfied smirk on his face that made me want to slap him.
"Like I was saying," I continued, "since you don't want anything I can offer you... I'll need your underwear." I stared at him, grinding my teeth together, but didn't say anything. He'd just get satisfaction from my anger, the sick bastard he was.
I walked towards his little en-suite, to get undressed, and he stopped me again. "Nope, not in there," he ordered, "if you're going to strip, you can do it in front of me. Don't act so shy, Ally, it's not like I haven't seen you naked before."
How did this man manage to make me blush even when I was furious?
I bent to take my shoes off again, not wanting to show anger, or sadness or any emotion at all.
I the belt on my jeans and started to fiddle with the hem of my tee shirt. "Off with it," He said, smirking that stupid, infuriating, panty-dropping smirk.
So off it came.
He walked towards me slowly, still smirking, still confident. "You're sure you don't want me anymore?"
And I didn't say anything. Because even though I was mad at him, even though I was pretty sure I despised him... I knew I would give in to anything he wanted, if he asked, and, to be honest, that scared me.
So, I kissed him.
