Amber’s lips parted when he stood up and actually started walking to the door. She exhaled as she turned her head to look away because she wasn’t sure if she could actually watch him walk out the door. But then he was talking again and her head turned back to look at him. “Isn’t it always better to date your best friend?” She asked, biting down on her lower lip. She shook her head at his words. “I don -” she turned towards him. “Don’t say that…”

“I don’t fucking know because I’ve never dated my best friend before,” Rhys said before shaking his head again. “Dating had never been a thought because of how close we are...or were.” He swallowed the lump in his throat again and shook his head yet again. “I gave you answers now you give me yours. What would happen if I picked you?”

Amber glided her tongue along her lower lip as she turned her head to look away from him. What was she supposed to say? Love triangles were always so messy and why would he pick her over his best friend? “Just go.” She said as she gestured to the door. “We both know how this ends for me, Rhys. She’s your best friend.” She glanced over him, biting on her lower lip to keep herself from getting too emotional. “So, let me make it easier for you… Pick her.”

Rhys swallowed the lump inside of his throat as he listened to her words and stood up from the couch. He started walking towards it before shaking his head at her words and turning back towards her to look at her. “That’s the thing though Amber, she’s my best friend which made our friendship very messy so I don’t even know what’s going to happen,” he said with a shrug as he ran his hand over his hair. “And what if I want to pick you, huh? What will happen then?”

“Oh, wow… You slept with her.” Amber turned her head to look away from him, gliding her tongue along her lower lip as she crossed her arms tighter. When the question left his mouth, she turned her head back towards him. “I -…” She just nodded her head and looked down at her feet. “Do you like her?” She asked, lifting her eyes up towards him.

“I did...yeah. We both blame the alcohol for it,” Rhys said and frowned seeing her looking away from him. When he saw her nod to his question about her liking him, he sighed, wanting to reach out to pull her to him but he couldn’t during this conversation. Not yet. “I...I don’t know if I do or not. It’s all very confusing and I just hate leading both of you on. I’m so stupid..” He looked back down to his hands and eventually brought his head into his hands and sighed. “I don’t know what to do...or what to say,” he said into his hands. “I know that I like you though.”

Amber tossed her phone over onto the coffee table as she let her eyes rest on him. “So, what are you doing? You come in here and get jealous… When you did the same thing? Acting like you like me or something when really… You are all up on your best friend… Just what is…” She gestured between them. “This.”

Rhys took a deep breath and looked back down at his hands knowing that he fucked up. God, he was so stupid for leading them both on and he hated it. “You’re not just a fuck buddy, Amber,” he said honestly as he looked up at her. “I do like you...yes, in that way. I also slept with my best friend which fucked up our friendship and I’m still figuring out what to do there,” he said before licking his lips. “Do you like me in that way too or something?”

“Why are you saying that stuff?” Amber turned around to look at him, crossing her arms over her chest as if that was going to protect her from the conversation they were about to have. “Who is she?” She knew that he knew, it was the only thing that made sense. Maybe he was trying to distract her from asking but… She exhaled. 

“Because I was being honest,” Rhys easily replied with a shrug as he was being honest with her. “Why are you acting so weird?” He asked before hearing her next question and looked down at his hands. This conversation was bound to happen as she had just saw the message from -A not too long ago. “She’s Teagan, my best friend. We’ve been best friends for years.”

amberxnewell‌:

Amber couldn’t breathe, her heart was pounding and there was this new feeling forming her chest. Was it jealousy? She exhaled as his hands ran down her side and her hand moved to his shoulder, pushing him over and letting herself slip out from underneath him. “What are you doing?” She said, keeping her back to him.

Rhys was starting to smile as they kept close but that soon wasn’t a thing anymore when she pushed him away and moved herself from underneath him. “What do you mean what am I doing? What are you doing?” He asked, his eyebrows furrowed as he waited for her to turn around to look at him.

Amber breathed out against his lips as she moved her hand to the side of his face, deepening the kiss but taking it slow all at the same time, feeling the sensation she usually did but coursing through her entire body. Her toes curled slightly as she let her tongue dance with his. When he pulled back, she panted softly against his lips as she moved her foot down against the back of his calf, moving her foot up and down it as she glided the tip of her tongue along her lower lip. “Amazing.” She said quietly as her eyes moved up to her face, trying not to think about the text message.

Rhys nodded at her words, looking up to search her eyes to see if he could tell if she was feeling what he was too. A fucking mess of confusion, want and excitement all in one. “Fucking amazing,” he said, still breathless as both of his hands started to run up and down her sides as he held her close. “I’ve never kissed anyone like that before.”

Teagan laughed as he grabbed her ass again, thinking of how if Hayley hadn’t made fun of her about her feelings this probably wouldn’t be happening, even with the alcohol. She followed him to the bar, her head tilting to the side as she felt his lips on her neck. The bartender who had earlier only been staring at her chest now seemed to be looking anywhere but at them, even as he set the shots down in front of them. Teagan pulled away from him just enough to hold a shot in front of him. “Cheers.”

Rhys frowned as he felt Teagan pulling away from him but his eyes soon fell onto the shot glass in front of him and grinned. “Cheers,” he said, taking the shot glass and downing the shot easily. He turned to see his second shot there as well and downed it quickly before licking his lips. He got enough money out for their shots and put it on the bar top before taking Teagan’s hand and leading her out of the club. “We gotta get somewhere to make out more,” he said with a chuckle and grinned looking at her.

Amber let her hands move up to the back of his head, lacing her fingers through the strands of her hair as her other hand was in his, giving his hand a squeeze as she adjusted herself underneath him, moving her leg up against his as she let their tongues dance together. Her heart was beating hard against her chest and she didn’t know how to make it stop. Rhys Addison having this sort of effect on her… It was terrifying but she loved every single second of it.

Rhys pulled her closer to him if it were possible and ran his hand that wasn’t in hers up and down her side as their lips moved against one another’s. This felt different, she felt different compared to the other women he thought about sleeping with or even getting to know. Amber knew him and slept with him but she also challenged him and excited him and made him feel real feelings for her that he was scared of, but he also enjoyed them. Massaging her tongue with his, he gave her hand a squeeze before pulling his lips away a bit breathless honestly. “Damn...that was...”

Teagan knew this would only make things messy, and they’d managed to keep their friendship in tact for so long, but she couldn’t help herself because kissing him felt so right. She watched as he looked around, and laughed at his suggestion, adding more alcohol to this situation would probably make things worse, but when he brought his lips down to hers again she stopped caring. “Two more shots sounds like a brilliant idea.” She grinned up at him.

“Perfect,” Rhys replied against her lips before kissing her again and giving her ass another playful grab once more before taking her hand and leading her to the bar. He waved the bartender down and ordered four more shots, two for the both of them and while he was pouring the shots, Rhys turned to Teagan, moved her hair to the side and moved in to press kisses against her neck as he pulled her body close to his. He had no idea why he was so turned on by her and why he was kissing her, but he had alcohol to blame so of course he was going to do that knowing that this would make their friendship very messy.

Amber felt his fingers on her chin, feeling him turn her head to face him. She parted her lips to ask him what was going on but then he kissed her. This kiss was different and it spoke to her, her heart pounding harder against her chest as she moved her hand to the back of his head, tangling her fingers in his hair as she kissed him back slowly with the same amount of passion.

Rhys dipped his tongue into her mouth, kissing her deeply and more passionately by the second while his other hand held onto her free one, their fingers still laced. He didn’t know what it was about Amber, but something about her made him keep crawling back. The sex was great, but he also wanted to get to know her more on a deeper level. Even kissing her right now felt different as this was the first time they weren’t ripping off each others clothes and honestly, he kind of liked it. They didn’t need to be horny all the time anyways so he just continued to hold her close and keep his lips moving against hers.

Amber let her eyes rest on their fingers, watching them move together as she brought his hand close to her, brushing her lips on the back of his hand as she inhaled, a light smile came along her lips as she lifted her eyes up towards the television scream, chuckling when she thought something was funny.

As much as Rhys wanted to watch the movie, he found himself always looking back at Amber whether it was her face or her fingers locked with his. She was absolutely gorgeous and before he knew it, he gently turned her face towards his and leaned down to kiss her slowly and passionately. Of course he wanted to turn her on and get her naked again, but this time he wanted to just kiss her to show her that he cared for her.

amberxnewell‌:

Amber let a little smile come along her lips. “It does, huh?” She told him quietly, not wanting to feel the jealous feeling in the pit of her stomach because it wasn’t fair. She inhaled as she kept her eyes on the screen, keeping her fingers moving against his.

“I’ll show you,” Rhys said before moving their bodies so they could be spooning on the couch with her being the little spoon of course. “See? So much better,” he said with a grin as his hands went back to playing with hers, his fingers eventually lacing with hers. He leaded over to press a kiss to her cheek before watching the movie some more.

“I like cuddling with you too,” she said softly as her eyes rested on the television screen, her fingers moving to brush along the bottom of his shirt, breathing slowly as she tried to ignore the aching pain in her chest. She couldn’t be upset, she had done the same thing but he had come in here and been all jealous about it. It didn’t… It didn’t make sense and usually she was better than this, better than to let her feelings stop her from saying something.

“Your body kind of fits well with mine which not only makes the sex incredible, but it makes cuddling better as well,” Rhys said with a chuckle, keeping his eyes on the telly. Of course he wanted to look down at her and ask what was wrong, but he kept quiet for now. His hands slid down her arms to rest on her hands, his fingers starting to play with hers as they watched the movie.

teagan-bradley‌:

Teagan had looked up quick enough to see that his eyes had followed hers down to her chest and she smirked to herself. “I’m glad you think so.” She said softly. It felt like everything had been leading up to the moment when their lips met, and everything in her head telling her to stop vanished. She let out a soft groan as he kissed her deeper, her arms wrapping tighter around him for a moment forgetting where they were. When he squeezed her ass it was like she momentarily came back to her senses and she pulled back but kept her body pressed against his. “We shouldn’t do this-” She started, only it was the alcohol who finished the sentence. “-not here.”

If Rhys was controlling himself instead of the alcohol, he would be yelling at himself for doing this, making out with his best friend at a club. It seemed wrong, but the alcohol made it seem like it was right...more than right. He nodded to her words and looked around for a second before back to her. “Want to take two more shots with me?” He asked with a chuckle as he kept her close and not being able to stop himself from leaning down once again to press his lips against her own for a few moments longer.

Amber closed her eyes when he kissed the top of her head, there was a warm fuzzy feeling in her chest that she didn’t know what to do with. She heard her phone buzz and she only moved slightly, swiping up the the message to see the picture of him and Teagan. She clicked the screen dark almost as quick as she had turned it on, putting her phone on the arm of the couch before snuggling closer to him, her eyes resting on the screen in front of them.

Rhys couldn’t help but glance over to see the picture of him and Teagan that popped up on Amber’s phone at the time she turned it on, but instead of saying anything, she snuggled more into him so he responded by giving her another kiss on the top of her head. “I like cuddling with you,” he said with a small smile, trying his best not to think about what she had just seen. His fingers reached down to take hers and started to play with them as they watched the movie.

This was a bad idea, everything inside her knew it was a bad idea because anything further than dancing could ruin their friendship forever. Still she didn’t pull away, she focused on him, on how good it felt to be this close to him. “You don’t think I look like I’m trying too hard?” She asked, glancing down at her chest and back up at him. “You look hot too though.” She said, letting out a soft laugh as she felt his hand slide down her back to her ass. A tiny voice in her head was telling her to pull away, but the sound of the music and the alcohol drowned it out and instead she found her fingers moving to the back of his head, brining his lips down onto hers.

When he watched her eyes looked down at her chest, his eyes followed and he shook his head. “Not at all. Like I said, you look hot,” he said with a smirk as they continued to dance together, getting closer and closer by the second. It was like they were both letting the alcohol take over and for right now, he didn’t mind it. His mind wasn’t thinking anymore, just doing. When their lips came in contact, he pressed her body against his as he kissed her, slowly and softly at first before his kisses started to become more passionate and deep. His hand lowered to her ass and gave it a gentle squeeze as their lips moved in sync.
