Paige and Chloe (4 page)

I stood and turned in the direction the question had come
from, and bumped into a solid mass as his heavenly scent filled my senses. I
quickly gazed into his dark hazel eyes and my heart fluttered like it always
did when I saw him. He was looking on point as usual in his designer jeans and
polo shirt, and I tried to gain my composure and make it look like he hadn't
affected me.
"What's with the twenty questions?" I spouted as I stepped round him and
rushed towards the door.
"Was it something I said?" he called after me.
"No, sorry I erm I'm running late." I stammered feeling like an idiot
as I noticed his frown.
I left the clubhouse hoping that my discomfort wasn't too obvious but I was surprised
as to how my tummy reacted when I saw him, even though I was on my way to meet Stephen.

Chloe

I can't believe I acted like such
a fool in front of him again but he always made my body react in such a way
that I wasn't able to function properly. You'd think I would've gotten over my
girly crush after three years of pining over him with nothing in return but I
couldn't, I'd held a torch for him for so long that it was difficult to shake
the feeling.
I'd tried everything within my power to stop these urges and had distanced
myself from the club over recent months so that I didn't have to see him, his
lack of interest had also influenced my decision to find a job outside of the
club. I had wanted to tell him of my feelings over the years but didn't through
fear of being rejected so I'd admired him from afar, I just dreaded the day
that he found his true love because I think my heart would shatter.

I strolled through the park
fastening my cardigan securely as the wind was cool and made my way towards the
picnic benches. I noticed Stephen stand excitedly as I came into view and he made
his way over to greet me.
I smiled at his enthusiasm, he was a good man, kind, loyal with good job
prospects, which included all of the qualities that my dad wanted me to find
within a boyfriend but was it what I wanted? I enjoyed Stephen's company, we
had similar interests and hobbies and I had developed feelings for him, but
were those feelings enough to have a healthy relationship and would it work
although my heart clearly belonged to another? I had many questions rattling
around my head and it all came down to one person. If he only knew of my true
feelings, I could then find out if they were reciprocated but if they weren’t
I'd be broken, and I don't think my heart was ready for that.

"And how are you today?"
he asked raising his eyebrows before dragging his eyes down my body focusing on
my crotch.
I furrowed my brows taking in his reaction.
He was acting strangely this
afternoon, first the confusing text and now this, what was wrong with him?
"I'm fine thank you Stephen and you?" I asked as he placed his arm
around my shoulder and directed me towards the picnic table that contained a
lovely spread of sandwiches and nibbles.
"Never better, I slept like a baby last night."
"Yeah about that, I'm sorry." I thought that I'd better apologise for
not seeing him but by the sounds of things I hadn't ruined his evening
completely.
"You have
nothing
to be sorry about babe." There it was again
that creepy look as his eyes lingered over my body, Stephen had never acted
this way before.
I ignored his glances although confused by his demeanour, "I'm sorry that
I couldn't come last night but I've been considering our relationship and now
think that I'm ready to take it to the next level." On the spur of the moment,
I had decided to progress things with Stephen. I couldn't live in limbo, I
needed to stop lusting over someone that was never going to be mine and look to
the future.
Would a future with Stephen really be so bad?
"Next level?" Stephen coughed slightly as his drink went down the
wrong hole, I quickly moved closer to pat him on the back as he slowly regained
his composure. "Last night was the best sex I've ever had babe but if you
have another level, I'd only be too happy for you to show me, and as for not
coming, if you didn't come last night then that was one hell of a show."
What the fuck was he talking about?
My phone vibrated and I removed my
hand from his and swiped the screen to see an unexpected text from Paige
containing a video. I should've felt honoured receiving a text from her, the
fact that she'd even thought of me during her busy day was a shock. Intrigued
by her text I pressed play to see the short clip of Stephen sprawled on his bed
and someone who looked like me sucking his cock with a mischievous grin on her
face.
Everything around me fell silent as I solely focussed on the clip, playing it repeatedly
not registering what was happening at first. It was surreal, I held up my phone
to show Stephen, to see the blood slowly drain from his face at the realisation
of what he'd done.
"Oh shit, oh shit, I didn't know. I didn't know it was her babe because
you're identical, you've got to believe me Chloe." He whined pathetically.
I shook my head still dumbfounded by what I'd just witnessed. Unable to talk or
express just how I felt, I stood placing the phone back into my pocket and
turned not wanting him to see me cry.

"Chloe!" He shouted
after me but I ignored him and continued to make my way across the field
towards the path that ran along the outer edge of the park.
"Chloe!" I heard him shout once more but this time further in the
distance as I increased my speed to get away. I wiped my cheek as the lone tear
had now turned into a trickle, as Paige's deceit had finally registered.

I walked around the park in a daze trying to rationalise
what had happened if that was at all possible, I didn't want to give Paige the
satisfaction of making me cry but the betrayal hurt so much. The path ended and
I realised that I was back at the car park but I wasn't ready to go home yet, I
liked being outside it gave me the element of freedom as I analysed the past
hour.
Sitting on the curb I tried to contain my emotions, I felt like I needed to
talk to someone but who? I could call my dad but it would end in one hell of a
fight and his relationship with Paige was already fractured.

Pulling my knees tightly towards my chest, I rested my head
and slowly rocked back and forth while I took stock of the situation.
How
could Paige do this to me? I was not only her sister but also her twin, what
could I have possibly done to make her hate me so much?
I was pulled from my thoughts as a dog licked my arm. Raising my head I noticed
the Jack Russell as she sat beside me, her tongue hanging out and breathing hard
as if she'd just been running.
"That's a good girl," I stroked her head and worked my way around
under her chin. She liked to be fussed over and instantly laid on her back so
that I could reach for her tummy, this at least brought a small smile to my
face and eased the light trickle of tears. Noticing her name tag around her
neck, I reached for it and lifted it gently, "Hello Doris."

"Are you okay Chloe?" I turned towards the
familiar voice and my breath hitched at his beauty. Woods sat beside me on the
curb as I continued to pet his dog but his concern was my undoing and the waterfall
of tears that I'd been holding for over an hour streamed from my eyes. I tried
to control my emotions and had kept it together until now, but the betrayal of
my sister and the close proximity of Woods were playing havoc with my feelings.
Without hesitation, he enveloped me into his embrace and held me close while I
sobbed into his hard chest. He instinctively moved his hand to cup the back of
my head and moved it in a soothing motion to comfort me, allowing me the time I
needed to release all of my emotions.

"Shhh, whatever it is, it can't be that bad babe."
Woods said quietly as he continued to hold me tightly and pressed a light kiss
on the side of my head. I felt his warm lips on me if only briefly, and breathed
in his scent as he comforted me. This is where I had wanted to be for so long
but I only wished it would've been in different circumstances. I knew that all the
guys from the club would've let me cry on their shoulder if they saw me upset, but
they wouldn't have created the fluttering sensation that I was now feeling
inside.

I eventually had no more tears to cry and pulled away
slightly out of his arms to wipe the tears on the back of my hand.
"Talk to me babe, what's got you so upset?"
I couldn't muster the words to even try to explain what had happened, I simply
rummaged around in my jean pocket until I found my phone and handed it to him
so that he could watch the video. Woods looked confused at first as to why I
was showing him a video of Stephen and myself but I saw the cogs turning in his
head as he processed everything, and eventually realised that it wasn't me
enjoying my boyfriend's cock.

"Paige?" He asked, giving me back the phone.
I nodded my head and placed it into my pocket, "I'm not upset that the
relationship is over, it's the fact that my own sister could do such an
appalling thing to hurt me. I've been here for over an hour racking my brains
to try and think of a reason why she would want to do this to me but I'm
stumped." I shook my head and finally rubbed my forehead from the
frustration. "And of course Stephen swears blind that he thought it was me
because he wouldn't be able to tell us apart." I was exhausted and now
felt embarrassed that Woods had seen me in such a state, I slumped forward and
hugged my knees again.
Woods moved closer and grabbed my chin lightly to direct my face towards his, "If
he was a real man, he'd be able to clearly tell the difference between the two
of you."
My tummy flipped at the simple gesture and kind words, and I found myself
laughing nervously to try and lighten the intensity of how my body was
reacting, "But we're identical!"
Woods looked at me intently, "You have a very slight dimple on your right
cheek when you smile and your lips are fuller, more kissable than those of your
sister."
Woods moved his hand to my cheek and brushed his thumb over the area where my
dimple would be, studying my expression closely before moving his thumb gently
across my lower lip. This simple action made my breath hitch with anticipation
as I gazed at him, his eyes widened as I allowed him to touch me, secretly praying
that he felt the same way about me as I did him.
I must've looked a bloody mess but here he was comforting me, touching me. I
closed my eyes and leaned into his caress to find myself totally lost in the
moment as he moved his thumb from my mouth and back to my cheek.

The moment was unfortunately broken as I felt a wet nose
press against my arm again, and opened my eyes to see Doris standing
impatiently.
"What's up? Are you not getting enough attention?" I giggled as I ruffled
her fur.
"I had better get her home, it's past her mealtime and she'll be getting
hungry. Do you want a lift?" Woods asked as he stood.
"No thank you, I'm going to continue my walk to try and clear my head
before I go home."
He held out his hand for me to take and pulled me gently to my feet.

"You're wearing it!" Woods stated surprised as he
pointed to the necklace he had bought me for my birthday.
"Of course I am its stunning." I reached for the pendent and held it
in my hand as a smile spread across his face.
"I wasn't sure if you'd like it enough to wear it."
"It's beautiful."
"Like you."
I frowned unsure if I had heard him correctly but we were interrupted again as
the dog barked, indicating that she was ready to go before I could process his
comment further.
Woods stepped back giving himself some space, "Are you going to the
Karaoke evening tomorrow?"
I simply nodded my head, I was looking forward to it although now I was
dreading bumping into Paige.
"Good." He said with a wink as he tapped the side of his leg for
Doris to follow.

What the hell just happened?
My emotions were wrecked,
what with Stephen and now Woods, my head was all over the place. This chance
meeting had revealed that he may have feelings towards me after all. I joined the
path that ran around the perimeter of the park and felt a little better than I
did twenty minutes ago, and mentally started to plan my outfit for tomorrow.
Things were looking up already.

Chloe

I had been looking forward to this evening for some time
now, I wasn't a big drinker but I knew that I needed to be intoxicated in order
to be brave and stand up to Paige, although I did plan to stay away from her
this evening as I didn't like confrontation.
This would be the first time that I'd seen Paige since she sent me the video of
her pleasuring my now ex-boyfriend. I was still enraged although Paige had clearly
done me a huge favour in helping me to realise that I was just passing time,
waiting for the true love of my life to open his eyes and realise what we could
possibly have.

The drinking continued throughout the evening and I knew
that I was nearing my limit when the room started to spin as I was led to the
dance floor by Savannah.
"Come on Chloe, show us your moves." Savannah yelled over the music
as she began to strut her stuff. Savannah was a stripper at the club and that
girl knew how to dance, whereas my moves were only practiced in my bedroom in
front of the mirror, never in public.
"I don't think I need to move, the room is doing enough of that already."
I said wobbling around on my heels.
She sniggered watching me trying to focus on the task at hand.

Thankfully the song changed to a slower tune, and I turned quickly
ready to sneak from the dance floor before Savannah noticed when someone
grabbed my hand and spun me around into their embrace.
"Where do you think you're going? I need a dance partner." Woods
smiled as he positioned his hands respectably on my hips so as not to arouse
suspicion or outrage from the other guys, as we swayed in time to the music.
Woods rested his head against mine and breathed in my scent as we rocked back
and forth. My vision was blurred but my inhibitions lowered due to the amount
of alcohol I'd consumed, I pushed my body closer to his and felt his arousal. I
pulled away slightly and my shocked expression amused him but he simply
shrugged his shoulders and pulled me into his embrace again. We moved around
the dance floor slowly with Woods guiding me but the room continued to spin
encouraging me to close my eyes as I tried to control my breathing.
"You are so fucking beautiful Chloe." He stated placing the smallest
of kisses on my temple.
I had imagined him saying those words to me so often that I didn't know if I'd
fallen asleep in his arms and was dreaming. His hands moved from my waist to my
lower back to hold me close, and my body betrayed me as my nipples instantly
reacted to the contact as I swayed in his arms.
"If only you were someone else's daughter."
I opened my eyes to see the burning desire but the moment was broken as someone
on the dance floor bumped us.
I turned quickly to see Skinner dancing with Savannah, "Sorry guys he has
no rhythm when he's been drinking!"
I smiled and although drunk I was concerned that we may have been seen, our
movements were getting slower as we enjoyed how we felt in our joint embrace.
"I need to go to the bathroom."
"Are you okay?" Woods asked concerned.
"Yeah," I replied weaving slowly between the couples that were
cavorting on the dance floor. I slowly staggered down the corridor towards the
bathroom and needed to use the wall to help guide me and prevent me from
falling.
Why did I drink so much?

I gently splashed water onto my
face to try to calm the flush that was spreading through my body, I was
surprised at how Woods could affect me so quickly by his touch.
What was I
supposed to make of tonight?
Up until yesterday in the park, he had been
attentive but that was just his nature, Woods was always conscientious, but
tonight was different, he'd surprised me by his comments and his arousal.
I brought my hand to my lips to stifle the giggle at the thought of how I
rubbed my body against his like a wanton woman, but tried to control my
laughter as I heard the toilet flush from one of the cubicles.
My heart rate accelerated hearing the sound of the stilettos along the tiled
floor as I knew exactly who was walking down the corridor, and my suspicions
were confirmed as Paige sauntered into the foyer of the bathroom.
She smiled smugly, "Hi Chloe, how are you?" she spoke as if we were
old acquaintances just passing the time of day, as she removed her lip gloss
from her handbag and applied it casually.
I didn't understand her motives in hurting me, we were twins, we were supposed
to have a strong bond that no one could break. As a young teenager I'd spent
hours trailing through the internet reading heart warming stories about the
bond between identical twins, some had even reported that they could feel each
other's pain but that couldn't be much further from the truth, because if she
could feel my pain, she wouldn't be smiling every time she rejected or
purposely hurt me.

"Are you just going to
pretend that it didn't happen?" I furrowed my brows trying to focus
through my hazed state.
Paige placed her lip gloss into her hand bag and turned to assess me, she
always looked immaculate it didn't matter if she were going jogging, swimming
or even to bed she always looked her best. Crossing her arms across her chest
she casually walked towards me, "You look a fucking state no wonder no man
has ever taken you seriously." I placed a hand on the tiled wall to keep
my balance, "See what I mean, you're miserable, boring and what the fuck
are you wearing this evening?" she asked waving her hand up and down at my
attire.
I glanced briefly in the mirror at my reflection and then back at her, and
found that the alcohol I'd consumed had given me a little more confidence than
I usually had.
"Shut up! Just shut up! I'm sick of you being horrible to me!" I
screamed out of frustration.
Paige laughed and stepped back to lean against the basins, "Come on let's
hear it, you're obviously feeling a little brave this evening."
"Why can't you just be nice?"
"Nice! Nice is boring, nice means men walk all over you, nice means you
never get what you want."
"But nice means you'll be happy."
"Happy, oh dear Chloe you really don't know me very well. Happy is sucking
your boyfriend off and swallowing his come, happy is riding his cock so hard
that the bed nearly broke and happy is seeing you here drunk and miserable because
you know what I did, that's what happy is."
I reactively placed my hand over my mouth, startled by what she'd just said but
the alcohol quickly fuelled my rage.
“You knew I fucking liked him but you couldn’t help yourself. You’ve been like
this ever since we were kids, if I had it you always took it.” I moved closer wanting
to slap the smug expression from her face but refrained from making too much of
a scene.
Paige was unaffected by my outburst and continued to smile, “It’s not my fault
you’re such a push over. Anyway, he fucking wanted me babe, he knew it was me sucking
and riding his cock and he enjoyed every fucking minute of it.”
I couldn't contain the tears at the vileness that so easily oozed from her, I
turned quickly and barged into Taylor not realising that she'd seen the fallout
and left the bathroom feeling a little worse for wear, and sorry for myself.

"Are you okay Chloe?" Duke asked as I passed him
in the corridor.
"I think I've had too much to drink." I slurred as I continued to use
the wall to hold myself upright.
"I think I would agree, get one of the guys to take you home."
Duke continued down the corridor in the opposite direction as I stumbled
further into the club, knowing that I needed to get some fresh air.
I pushed through the main doors and stumbled on the uneven ground and tried to
grab for something to stop me from falling over.
"Where are you going Chloe?" Woods asked as he wrapped his arms
around my waist holding me against his chest to keep me upright.
"I need to go home. I'm pissed off with Paige, emotional, drunk and
horny!" I said bringing my hand to my mouth and sniggered as I swayed in
his arms.
Woods sighed, "Give me two minutes and I'll drive you home."
"Oh no you don't Woodsy Poodsy, you've been drinking and I'm not getting
on the back of a bike with you!" I stated loudly poking him in his chest
like I was tapping a drum.
"No I haven't and that's why I need two minutes so I can swap keys with
Ramsey."
He walked me backwards towards a van so that I could use it to lean on.
"Stay there!" He said forcefully as he left me alone in the car park and
jogged towards the club.
"Stay there!" I sniggered mimicking his orders as I stood in the
darkness.
I could hear someone in the club singing to 'Dancing Queen' on the karaoke and
hummed along to the tune as I swayed to the music while waiting for him to
return. The fresh air had made my head throb and now everything was taking twice
as long to process and rationalise in my drunken state.
Woods said that he wasn't drunk, therefore when he became aroused while we
danced he must've actually wanted me. I pondered this thought as I continued to
sway to the music.
Could he actually like me?

"And so he returns." I said with my arms held high
welcoming Woods as he jogged back into the car park.
He shook his head looking a little bemused by the way I was acting, "Right
let’s get you into the van." Woods pressed his body against mine to steady
me and opened the door with his other hand. We were close and I could feel his
breath on my skin as he tried to move me towards the door.
"Can you climb in?" he asked.
I turned and bent over so that I rested my upper body across the seat and tried
to lift my left leg into the passenger footwell to push myself up. In my head,
this seemed like the most logical way to get into a van but my body wasn't listening
to what my brain was telling it to do.
I turned to the sound of sniggering and gave him a dirty look, "What are
you trying to do babe?"
"I'm trying to get in the van like you asked me to do." I said
petulantly.
"Chloe, you're gonna have to do better than that if you want to be home
before morning, otherwise I'll have to man handle you." He said with a
smirk.
"Promises! Promises!" I grinded my hips as I lay sprawled over the
seat with my arse still in the air.
Woods stepped closer and pulled down the material of my dress to hide my
modesty and I grabbed his hand. "You're so masterful Woods." I ran my
finger up and down his arm, "Look at these big manly arms and these lovely
tatts."
"Come on babe let's get you in the van." Woods wrapped his arms
around my body and lifted me, I must've been like a dead weight as he tightened
his grip to try and move me. I felt the slight pinch of my skin and it probably
would've hurt more if I wasn't so intoxicated but I didn't care, I was just
enjoying his hands on me.
"Oh Woods, I didn't know you were so rough. Did I tell you I like it
rough?"
I thought I saw his eyes darken with desire but it was probably contempt, as I
was being so difficult. He finally managed to get me into the seat before I
slumped, not being able to hold my own weight any longer. Woods closed the door
and made his way around the vehicle to enter the driver's side, and leaned over
to secure my seat belt. I couldn't resist and raised my hand to touch his face,
"Do you know how gorgeous you really are? I want you in my bed and between
my thighs."
"Behave yourself women!" He said with humour in his voice as he
swatted my hand away.
I stuck my lip out and pouted petulantly as Woods shook his head showing his
frustration but I had a mouth malfunction, and couldn't help but air my
opinions that were quickly invading my mind.
"Let's get you home before you cause any more trouble." He settled in
his seat and turned the key in the ignition to pull smoothly from the car park
and onto the country road that led us back into town. We sat in silence as we
travelled down the bumpy road but the movement of the vehicle made me feel a
little nauseous.
"Mark baby can we please pull over, I need some fresh air." I asked
trying to find the button to open the window.
He indicated and quickly parked at the side of the road before opening his door
to come around the vehicle to help me out. I took his hand as he directed me to
the rear of the vehicle, and he gently helped lower me until I was perched on
the curb.
Woods sat beside me and I felt his closeness as his arm brushed mine, "We've
gotta stop meeting like this." He said with humour as I turned to give him
a drunken smile.
I breathed in the cold night air and instantly felt better now that I was out
of the confines of the small van.

We sat in silence for a while lost in our own thoughts, and
I wondered what he was making of the situation.
"Were you really into that guy? Is that why you got drunk this evening?"
As I tried my best to focus, I could see the uneasiness on Woods' face as he
asked the question. I wasn't known for drinking large quantities of alcohol but
he'd thought I had drunk excessively because of Stephen.
I giggled, "Nah, that's not the reason, I needed alcohol in my system to
face Paige as it makes me braver and as for Stephen, he's cute in a preppy kind
of way but to be honest I was just passing the time until the guy I
really
like
noticed me." My response reeled off my tongue like I had verbal diarrhoea.
"Chloe, look I..." As Woods turned to face me, I leaned in to kiss his
lips. It was a little clumsy at first but I deepened the kiss quickly. Woods
joined in but his participation was brief as he pulled away and held me at
arm's length.
"I can't do this Chloe you're drunk!" Woods hastily stood, placing
his hands in his pockets as he paced at the rear of the vehicle as if
contemplating something. I glanced at him trying to focus, his model like
features ever present even through my beer goggles but he wasn't giving much
away.
Letting out a sigh he turned to face me, "If you still feel like this when
you're sober then we can talk about it like adults but I'm not touching you
when you're pissed."
In my confused drunken state all I could hear was
I'm not touching you
and
his rejection hurt, I found myself getting emotional and now I really didn't
want to be here.
Woods crouched in front of me as he had obviously seen my change in demeanour, "There's
nothing I want more than to bend you over the bonnet of this van and take you
deep until you scream out my name but I'm not an arsehole Chloe, I won't take
advantage of you."
I couldn't look in his direction, I was slowly sobering and felt like a fool by
making a move on him.
Woods took my hands and pulled me to my feet, "Don't over analyse this in
your drunken state, sleep on it and we'll talk about it later."
Woods leant closer and kissed me gently on the forehead before directing me towards
the van. He placed his hands around my waist and I slapped them away, "I'm
not an invalid I can do it myself." Woods folded his arms and watched as I
tirelessly persisted in getting into the vehicle unaided.
"Chloe just let me help you babe."
"Nope I'm doing it, see I'm nearly there."
I let out a high pitch scream as he came behind me and grabbed my waist, my
resistance and thrashing around resulted in his body being pushed up close
against mine.
"It's so much easier when we work together." He whispered in my ear
sending a shiver down my body until it hit my sweet spot.
I stopped resisting when I felt his arousal pressed against my arse and
instantly pushed back to hear Woods let out a growl before moving away.
I quickly turned to see him step back and run his hands over his head clearly
looking pained. "I can't fucking do this!" He paced by the side of
the van before turning his attention back to me, "Chloe just try and get
in the fucking van." My eyes widened at his harsh tone watching him place
his hands on his hips as he assessed me, "Please."
I turned towards my goal, it took me a few attempts but I finally managed to
get onto the seat. Woods smiled and closed the door behind me before walking
around to enter the van and dutifully leaned over to fasten my seatbelt again. He
looked as if he was about to say something but shook his head stopping himself.
He started the engine as I turned to look out of the window, it was going to be
a long journey home.
