You Make Me Wanna [Oneshot]

Is it possible to be in love with two people at the same time? Because I think I am. I have a boyfriend that I love so much but then there's this guy I met at our housewarming party, I don't know how it happened but it did...

So my boyfriend and I have just moved into a new house together in California and he wanted us to break it in.

"Baby, isn't this house beautiful?"

"Yeah but not as beautiful as you"

"You know you're really corny"

"I know but that's why you feel in love with me" He leaned down and kissed me. I kissed him back and he picked me up.

"What about we break the place in?" 

"What do you have in mind?"

"It involves me" He kissed my neck. "And you" He began to suck on it and I let out a low moan. "The bed"

"Mmm I would love to but you have to go work in a bit and I wouldn't want you to be late"

He pulled away and looked at me. "You're right but when I get home, it's on"

I gave him a kiss before he set me down. He picked up his brief case from the kitchen counter. "I'm going to get going now"

"Okay babe, have a good day"

So he went to work and I stayed at home. No I'm not a stay at home girlfriend, I do have a job but on this particular day I wasn't working. I spent the day unpacking the rest of the rest of the boxes. I then decided to go out for lunch with one of close friends, Rochelle.

"Hello hunny" 

"Hey, how are you?" I said after I gave her a hug.

"Good, how about you and how is your new house?"

"Great. Oh it's amazing, much bigger and nicer than the old one"

"It sounds nice, can't wait to see it"

"When we settle, you'll be one of the first people over"

"Thank you so what you ordering?"

"I'm not really hungry, I think I'll just have a salad and a glass of water"

"You're not on a diet, are you? The amount of times I've told you, you are fine just the way you are"

The rest of the lunch wasn't interesting so I won't go into anymore of it. I'll skip onto the part when Shawn got home.

"Hey babe, did you have a good day?" 

"Yes, got all my paperwork done so it shouldn't be as stressful. And Sharon rearranged my working times so I don't have to work on Wednesdays"

"Good for you"

Yes he has a female assistant. We had chats about it and I don't really care. He knows that if anything happens between him and her, I will be on it. She's not even all that either, he told me she has a thing for him but he set her straight. I admit I was a bit angry and upset when he said he had to get a FEMALE assistant because I had a feeling she would be attractive and he would move on to her but after 2 years he hasn't. I was actually his first assistant, at the time I knew it was wrong to fall for your boss but I couldn't help it. After I broke up with my boyfriend, I was an emotional wreck. And at work, I wasn't the same and he noticed. One lunchtime he saw me crying and asked if I wanted to go out for lunch and I agreed. Now 4 years later, we're happy and together. I work at a different company now, not because of me dating Shawn but it was a better option for me at the time. Enough of that, back to the story.

"So now I'm back from work, what about the breaking in we were supposed to do?"

"You're going to have to catch me first" I sprinted up the stairs.

Yeah, you know what we did. It was great, relieved some of mine and his stress.

"Babe, I've been thinking. I don't think we can break the whole house in by ourselves" Shawn ran his hand down my arm.

"So what are you saying?"

"What about we have a house warming party?"

"A freaking party? The house will be trashed!"

"It won't be a big one, I swear. Just your friends, my friends and the neighbourhood"

Together we have a lot of friends, I'm not gonna lie. But our house should be big enough to fit all of them in, if you're wondering why I did not invite my family or his family is because I didn't think the loud party scene would be their thing. So we decided to have the party on Saturday, I took responsibly for telling people about it. By the Friday, everyone knew and we're pretty excited. Anything valuable was locked away in our bedroom and the furniture was rearranged so there would be more space. We both had to work on the party day but I finished first so I set nearly everything up. By 8pm, the party had started and people were starting to come in.

"How many people did you invite?" Shawn literally shouted in my ear.

"I don't know, we live in a really big neighbourhood and we have a lot of friends. People probably invite their friends too" I told him then I went to get myself another drink.

As I was walking to the kitchen, I saw people I've never seen before. I wanted to kick them out so bad but as a good party host, I left them alone.

"Great party you have here" Someone shouted to me.

"Thanks!"

There were a lot of people in the kitchen and everywhere, I expected it though. I got myself a glass of vodka and coke as I was sipping it someone whispered in my ear.

"What you doing over here all by yourself?"

"Just having a drink"

"You're beautiful, did you know that?" I blushed at his comment and said thank you.

"So do you know who's run this joint?"

"Me and my boyfriend" 

"Really? He's a very lucky guy" He gave me a once over and licked his lips.

In that moment I looked at his face for the first time and he was so handsome. Hazel eyes, a small afro of curls, his beard was starting to form, he literally was perfect. We had a conversation about everything really; my life, his life, my job, his job. I found out we had a lot in common which I found really strange. As we were talking I caught myself smiling a lot and I usually don't do that in a conversation with someone I've just met. I looked over and saw Shawn trying to get my attention.

"My boyfriend wants me to go over to him but I had a great time talking with you" He gently grab my arm as I was about to walk away. I turned around to look at him and I got caught in his eyes. 

"Before you go, I never caught your name" He released my arm.

"Oh it's Onika but everyone calls me Nicki"

"My name's Aubrey but I go by my middle name, Drake"

"Well nice to you met you, Drake" I smiled.

He smiled back. "You too, Nicki"

Drake has such a pretty smile and his teeth were the perfect shape and shade of white. So that was my first meeting with Drake, the other guy I'm in love with. I walked over to Shawn after that, he was talking to one of his friends.

"Hey. I wanted you to meet Trevor, he lives next door to us"

"Nice to meet you, I'm," 

"Nicki, I know. Shawn has been telling me all about you, you're a very lucky girl to have someone like that in your life"

"Honestly, I'm the lucky one"

I got a bad vibe off of him and I don't know why. After this, we never really chatted. Shawn brought me around to meet all his friends, even the one's I already knew/met and some people he had just met. I could tell that I was going to enjoy living here. As the night went on, everyone had had a few drinks and was tipsy. I don't really like to drink so I only had 2 vodka and cokes. At around 11:30pm we decided to call it a night and end the party. Together, Shawn and I managed to get almost everybody out. Some of his friends were staying to help us clean.

"Me and the boys are going to clear up upstairs" Shawn told me.

I went to the kitchen to get a bin-liner to put the rubbish in and when I was walking out, I saw Drake. 

"You scared me! What you still doing here? Party's over"

"I wanted to help out, you seem really nice"

"That's really sweet of you but won't your girlfriend be mad?" I said as I picked up some plastic cups and dropped them in the bin bag.

"What girlfriend? I'm single" He picked up the cups of the table.

"Really? I'm surprised you're a very handsome guy. If I wasn't taken, I would date you"

"Thanks, coming from a girl like you I really appreciate it"

I could feel myself blushing again and I didn't want him to see.

"Drake, could you get me another bin-liner please? They're in the second draw from the kitchen door"

"Sure" He walked to the kitchen.

I didn't blush this much when I first started talking to Shawn so I knew it was something. When he came back, we finish cleaning but we still had a conversation with each other. Shawn's friends came down and shouted their goodbye's before leaving, Shawn came down after them shortly afterwards.

"Babe, who's this?" He said and wrapped an arm around my waist.

"Oh this is Drake, he lives down the road" I said, smiling up at him.

"Drake. This is my boyfriend, Shawn" They shook hands.

I'm glad they didn't meet badly because that would have been bad as I could tell I was going to be good friends with Drake. The house wasn't as messy as I expected it to be so it didn't take that long for all 3 of us to finish cleaning. About 1am, Drake decided to go home.

"Well I should get going, bye Nicki" He gave me a hug. "I live at number 30 so you can come see me any-time"

He walked over to Shawn and put his hand out for to shake it but Shawn instead gave him a 'manly hug'.

"Bye again" He walked out the house closing the door behind him.

"Did you like him?" I asked.

"Yeah, he seems like a good guy"

"Good, can you carry me upstairs please?"

"Sure baby" He picked me up bridal style and carried me all the way up the stairs to our bedroom. When we reached the bedroom, he held me above the bed and dropped me.

"Ow. Why did you do that?"

"You're getting a bit heavy baby" He said. I gave him a glare. "I'm just playing, you aren't heavy at all" 

I knew he was joking but it still kind of hurt feelings.

"I'm going hoop into the shower, wanna join me?"

"Okay but no funny business, I'm tired" Shawn went to start the shower while I got my towel and panties/pyjamas out my draw. I brought them in the bathroom with me.

Then we had a shower together and washed each other’s back. After I dried myself off, he moisturised my skin for me. He always does it the best. Afterwards we went straight to bed, we didn't have to work in the morning. On Sunday, I invited my parents and Shawn's parents. My parents brought my little brother with them and Shawn's parents brought his little sister so I had to set the table for 8. 

"This house is very nice, Nika" My mother told me.

"I know, that's why we bought it"

After a quick catch up, I finished cooking dinner and made everyone sit down at the table. I made Shawn help me bring out the plates and food.

"What we having for dinner then?" My little brother piped up.

"Yorkshire puddings, vegetables, roast potatoes, roast chicken and gravy if you want" I said as I placed his plate in front of him.

When I finally sat down, I heard Micaiah say "I don't like vegetables" 

"You need vegetables if you want to be a big boy" Mum told him and he ate them so fast, I was shocked.

After dinner, we went to the living room and had a nice chat.

"So when are you two getting married?" His mother asked. I smiled and look at Shawn.

"When the time is right but I know she is the one I want to marry" He kissed my hand, I blushed and everyone awed.

I could feel the love in the room, most of it coming from Shawn. I knew he wanted to marry me and I wanted to marry him but at this moment now it's not what I want, at all. Everyone left around 7. Mum, Dad and Micaiah left earlier, they had a long drive back to New York.

"That was a nice dinner, wasn't it?"

"Yes, it was. You know I was serious about marry you."

"I know" I kissed him and went to the kitchen to wash up.

Moving on, over the first 6 months of us living at the new house, I made friends with nearly everyone in a neighbourhood. Drake became my best male friend. I talked to him about everything and I mean everything. So on this bright Monday morning I had the day off and I was over at Drake's house.

"Thanks for letting me come over" I said taking a seat on his couch.

"No problem, its nice having you for company. Want a cup of tea?"

"Yes please. I don't like it milky and I like,"

"2 and a half sugars, yeah I know" Drake laughed. He went to kitchen to make my tea.

I sat in deep thought, I needed to tell him something. But I didn't know how. The situation reminded of that Justin Bieber song, Catching Feelings, or something like that. The lyrics described what I was feeling, 'Should I tell her how I really feel?

Or should I move in close or just be still? Cause if I take a chance and I touch her hand will everything change? How do I know if she feels the same?' In my case, it's a he but you catch my drift. I know it's wrong for me to have feelings for Drake and be in a committed relationship but he was just so loveable. He came about 5 minutes later, with our tea.

"Sorry I took so long, the kettle was taking longer than it normally does. I hope your tea is alright"

I took it out of his hand and took a sip. "It's fine"

I drank my tea in silence, I kept stealing glances with Drake and he could tell something was bugging me.

"Come on, spill it. What's wrong?" Drake said, putting his empty cup on the table.

I balanced my cup on my lap. "Okay, so I have feelings for this guy but I don't want to ruin our friendship or my relationship"

Drake moved closer to me. "Well if I was you, I would tell him how I feel and see if he feels the same. If you want you could practice on me."

I drank the rest of my tea quickly and said. "I know I haven't known you that long but since the day we met, I felt something different when we talked. These last few months have been great and I'm glad I met you that crazy night. What I'm trying to say is, I'm in love with you" I bit my bottom lip.

"I'll be the guy. I felt the exact same way, I didn't tell you because I didn't want it to affect your relationship with your boyfriend. And I'm in love with you too"

I looked up at him with worry in my eyes. Drake leaned over and kissed me. He pulled away and looked away from me like he did something wrong. 

The thing is he did nothing wrong in my books, I wanted him to do what we did. It could be seen wrong in other people’s eyes, I know that. But for about 2 months now, Shawn has been acting kind of strange. He's been real distant with me, I'm starting to think he's falling out of love with me. The other night, I set up a romantic night for us because I felt like I wasn't being a good girlfriend.  I made a nice little dinner and I wore nothing but this lingerie set.

I sat waiting for him and he came home at 9pm. It was later than he normally comes home from work but he's the manager so I wasn't bothered but he walked straight up the stairs a. Here's what happened:

So yeah, he walked in the house. I'm not sure if he even noticed anything I had set up, I stood up and Shawn walked straight up the stairs.

"Babe?"

"What?" He sort of shouted at me.

"I set up something special for us" I said, modelling my lingerie.

"I'm not in the mood. Goodnight" He continued going up the stairs.

I was so upset that night, after all my effort he wasn't even interested. I blew out the candles, scrapped the dinner into the bin and washed up the dishes. I turned off all the lights downstairs and changed into my usual nightwear. I climbed into bed and he didn't even pull me closer like he normally did, speaking on that he hasn't done that for a while now. That's not the only time, he's done something like that.  His friends invited us out for a night out and I wanted to go dance with him but he waved me off. One of his 'homeboys' or whatever took me to dance with him, that night I felt like he was giving me more attention than Shawn did or does. I found comfort in Drake and I think that is what really made my feelings for him come out more.

I leaned over and kissed Drake. He kissed me back and I put my hand on the back of his neck deepening the kiss. One thing led to another and my clothes and his clothes were removed, we ending up having sex. But to me, it wasn't just sex. We made love, all the feeling we have for each other came out. 

"You don't understand how happy I felt when you told me you were in love with me" Drake said.

"It took a lot for me to come and say that to you. I'm happy I did though"

We laid in silence for a while before I jumped up and helped the cover close to my chest.

"Oh God! What have I done?" I said realising I had just cheated on my boyfriend

"You just have sex with a guy you have feelings for and those are the exact words you told me. You love me don't you?"

I nodded. "You've been telling how he doesn't treat like he used to and I could be everything he isn't. I may not be the manager of a big company but I can look after myself and you. He doesn't deserve a girl like you"

You know I thought he was right and he was. On that same day, I told Shawn about how he was neglecting me and everything. You know what he told me, he said I had changed throughout the time we had been living here and he didn't like it one bit. But he was right, I did change but for the better. I told him about my feelings for Drake and how we slept together, he told me since the moment he saw me and Drake together he could tell there was something there. A few days later, Shawn and I separated. It may sound bad but it wasn't. I still love him and he still loves me but our love just wasn't as strange as it used to be.

This idea came to me like 2 weeks ago and I quickly wrote it. The actual finishing product didn't turn out the way I wanted it to but I still like it and I hope you do too XO!
