Pinned Up (Pinned Up Trilogy) (14 page)

“What the fuck? What did you do?” I yell.

Kade is taken by surprise and instantly sits up. He’s completely naked and covers himself with his sheet. “What the fuck happened to your face, Cheesecake?”

“What were you thinking, Kade? Ewww. This is like incest! Is there no one you will fuck?” I’m appalled with the scene in front of me.

“Did Josh do that to you? Tell me, Valentina Moretti…NOW! I swear to God, I’ll kill him!” Kade is beyond enraged.

I hear a thump on the ground and realize that Emme fell off the bed. Kade and I both stare at her naked body as she’s desperately trying to cover herself up with a blanket.

“Fuck! Can you two please keep it down? My head is pounding!” Emme says as she’s climbing back to Kade’s bed refusing to make eye contact with either one of us.

“Valentina Moretti, if you don’t fuckin’ tell me what the hell happened to your face right now, I’m taking my ass to Josh’s work and going psycho on his ass.” Kade threatens.

“Calm down. Josh didn’t hit me. Some asshole did, Josh kicked his ass afterward. But enough of that, tell me what happened between you and Emme last night? Hello? You two are worse than enemies and siblings who hate each other and constantly fight. Excuse my shocked reaction, but I feel like I just stepped into the
Twilight Zone
.” I admit.

Kade continues sitting up, but covers his face. He remains silent.

“Hurry up and explain, I’m not getting any younger.” Irritation is clear in my voice.

“Okay, good. We’ll get back to your story since you’re just dying to know mine. The Giants won last night, so of course, we had to celebrate. We had already been drinking since the early evening, so by the time the game ended, we were drunk. Add several shots of tequila to our already wasted state and you get full blown madness.” He takes a few deep breaths.

“Fast forward, Kade.” I’m just itching to know.

“Em was running her mouth throughout the night; I got frustrated and somehow fantasized about shutting her up with my dick in her mouth. When we left the bar, I told her to come with me because I didn’t want her catching a cab by herself. When we got home, I smacked her round, firm ass and kissed her.” He shrugs his shoulders, as if indicating he couldn’t help himself last night.

“You know, you really shouldn’t be giving me all the details, but since you already started, you might as well continue, I don’t want to be rude and interrupt your story.” Part of me feels guilty for being nosey, yet the other part of me wants to know every juicy detail. It must be the Gemini in me.

Kade rolls his eyes at me before he continues with his story. “Thank you for not being a ‘nosey Nancy’ and allowing me to give you every disturbed detail. Like I was saying, well you know how sometimes I just want to choke Em? Well, I did and Miss ‘I have a stick up my ass’ liked it! We both got rough with each other, but in a hot way, nothing violent. Well, maybe just a little. I simply wanted to give her a good fuck to shut her up and make her relax a bit. So, I did…on the kitchen floor, on the couch, on my bed—”

I interrupt him. “Okay, Kade! I get it. You’re a fuckin’ freak.”

“I couldn’t help myself. The more she yelled out my name, the harder I kept thrusting myself inside her. I’ll give her props, she can fuck. I fucked each and every one of her holes and enjoyed every minute of it.” Kade has a huge evil smirk planted on his face.

“Hello! I’m right here!” Emme yells and sits up. “A gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell, Kade!” She gives him an irritated look.

“Lucky for me, I’m no gentleman and you’re no lady, you’re more of an undercover freak!” He blows her a kiss and then turns his attention to me. “Cheesecake, seeing Em on her knees sucking my dick was a dream come true—”

Emme interrupts Kade by throwing her naked body onto him and attempts to suffocate him with two pillows. I take that as my cue and walk out.

That was weird.

A few minutes later, both Emme and Kade meet me in the living room fully dressed. They both want details of last night’s assault. Initially, retelling that experience is difficult, but when I think back to how Josh defended me, I immediately feel a sense of security. Emme and Kade can’t understand why I’m smiling. I have to explain that I’m not happy because of what that man did to me. I’m in a blissful state because I now have someone who cherishes me and wants to protect me just as much as I crave for it, even though I never wanted that before. I always took pride in being independent, self-sufficient, and being able to fend for myself. Now that I’ve had a taste of his protectiveness, admiration, and lust I want to cloak myself within his arms and never let him go.

“So, are you two a couple now or what?” I quickly change the subject to avoid talking about feelings and my future, things I hate discussing.

“Hell no!” They both yell out simultaneously and give me a disbelieving look as if I’m speaking in tongues.

“Fuck buddies?” I’m perplexed regarding their latest actions and want clarification as to how this will affect our trio.

“No. This was a one-time deal. Once is enough. Let’s just forget it ever happened and move on.” Emme instantly crosses her arms in front of her chest and stares down at Kade.

He ignores her glare. “All I know is that I’m NEVER going to drink that much again. Well, until next weekend, that is. And no, we didn’t just fuck one time, I tapped that ass four times last night. You’re a nymph, don’t get it twisted. As for wanting me to forget about it, you must be cray cray! You talk shit all day, every day, and for the first time, you bowed down to me. If you think I’m ever going to forget that, you must not really know me. I’m bringing it up every chance I get.”

“You’re such a prick, Kade!” Emme looks as if she has a demon inside of her and is ready to rip Kade’s head off.

“That may be so, but I’m a prick whose dick you had willingly inside your pussy, mouth, and ass. So, you can go ahead and call me all the names you want because I’ll just be thinking of how you kept calling out my name and telling me how my fat dick felt delicious in your wet pussy.” Kade is relentless.

“Cabron culero!” Emme shrieks as she curses him out in Spanish.

“Now, now my little Mexican bean burrito…Don’t start getting all native and riled up, unless you want me to give you more spankings.” Kade continues to taunt her.

If looks could kill Emme would shoot daggers at Kade with her eyes. “I’m out of here. I’m going home. I’m glad you’re okay, Nina. I’ll see you at the parade on Halloween.” Emme grabs her purse and slams the door behind her.

I turn to face my bestie. “Kade, you’re such an ass.”

“Tell me something I don’t know.” He has a big grin on his face completely unremorseful.

There’s no sense in trying to reason with him, he’s clearly relishing in tormenting Emme. I get ready and head out to work. I spend Monday and Tuesday evening with Josh getting to know more about his playful side, desires, and everything else that he’s willing to share. Although, we’re both still reluctant about discussing certain topics, our lines of communication have definitely improved.

It’s Wednesday, Halloween, and the celebration of the World Series win for our city. The parade is being held downtown. I call in sick; no job is worth missing such a grand festivity. Josh and I make plans to meet with Kade and Emme. Since I’ve been spending time with Josh, attempting to get to know him on various levels, I haven’t seen them since Monday morning, the day my eyes were made susceptible to their freaky shenanigans.

When the four of us finally meet, I notice that Kade and Emme act as if nothing sexual ever occurred between them. Things are back to normal. We position ourselves near City Hall, towards the end of the parade since moving around is particularly difficult due to the massive crowd. Emme, who is wearing a cute panda hat and I are pleased with our morning drink, a cherry Slurpee with tequila in it. The men stick to rum and Coke. Yes, it’s still morning, but it’s the evening somewhere in the world, and even if it weren’t…who cares! Our Bay Area team won the freakin’ World Series! It’s time to celebrate!

We’re surrounded by an extremely diverse fan base. There are people in Halloween costumes, parents with their young children (clearly they allowed their kids to ditch school), original Giants fans from when the team arrived to San Francisco from New York in 1958, adults who called in sick from work, and every other type of fan in between. The streets are covered in orange and black from the team’s loyal supporters.

The parade ends and now it’s time for the victory rally, but we decide to remain at the same location. The overpopulated crowd makes it a vast obstacle to get any closer. The four of us get comfortable on the front steps of a building enjoying our drinks and listening to the ceremony. I’m relaxed, leaning on Josh, and in good spirits, until I see Nicole, the loose waitress skank who can’t seem to stop throwing herself at Josh.

Nicole approaches our group; I sit up as Josh stands up to greet her. He extends his arm for a handshake, but Nicole dismisses it. Instead, she gives him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

What the fuck?

I sense Josh’s awkwardness. I continue to focus my attention on the skank who is so quick to violate my man’s personal space. Immediately, he introduces her to our group and makes sure to announce me as his lady. She waves hello, but is fixated on Josh. Nicole asks him if she can speak to him in private. He appears confused, yet curious, and agrees to have a quick talk. He informs me he’ll be back in just a few moments and gives me a peck on the lips. Josh and Nicole walk just a few feet away from us, they’re still in plain sight, but I don’t like it.

“Cheesecake, what the fuck is that about?” Kade asks. Clearly he noticed Nicole’s touchy ways.

“I don’t know, but she rubs me the wrong way. She’s like a leech that you can’t get rid of.” I indicate with resentment.

“Is this history in the making? Is thee Valentina Moretti actually jealous over some girl?” Emme asks in a taunting manner.

“I’m not jealous! My blood may be boiling slightly and I might be contemplating ripping her throat out, but I don’t envy that cheap slut. I just don’t like how she’s all over Josh, completely dismissing me. Stupid bitch. Before Josh introduced me as his girlfriend, she blatantly threw herself at him every chance she got, whether I was with him or not didn’t matter to her. She’s practically handing her rotten cookies to him on a silver platter!” I’m pissed.

“The question here is…Will Josh take a bite?” Kade sits in deep thought pondering his own question.

“He can do whatever he wants. He just needs to be honest with me.” Without delay, my guard goes up.

“Dang, Cheesecake, you’ve never liked a guy this much, not including your fictional loves, that is. Wow, you must really like him to allow yourself to get all worked up.” Kade has a genuine look of surprise on his face. “I assumed you two were just fucking and having a good time, it didn’t cross my mind that you are actually developing real feelings for him.”

Serious feelings? No, it’s too soon for that.
“Calm down, it’s not like that.” Instantly, I try to shake off that jealous and clingy girlfriend persona, it’s never been my style.

“Yes, it is and it’s okay for you to have feelings for someone and actually instill trust in them. Take a chance. I can tell this guy has strong emotions for you. Whatever you do, don’t get upset with him. It’s not his fault ‘loose lips’ is trying to sink her teeth into him. He made it clear to her that you’re his lady. Don’t let her win by allowing her presence and actions to ruin the rest of your day.” Kade rarely gets serious, so when he does, I listen.

“Okay.” All I can do is agree with my bestie.

“And if she doesn’t back off, I’ll be more than happy to intervene and teach her a good lesson.” Kade winks at me. “Rumor has it…I’m pretty good at pounding sense into people. Right, Em?”

“Shut the fuck up! You’re such a prick. Ugh! I can’t believe we fucked! You’re never going to let this go. What the fuck was I thinking?” Emme says with pure disgust and regret.

Kade starts laughing. “Hey, Em…remember when you had my dick in your mouth? Because I do! You’re so cute when you’re on freak mode. Why can’t you be like that more often?”

“Shhhh!” I notice Josh is done with his conversation with Nicole. He heads back to me and puts his arm around my shoulder.

Kade and Emme back away from us and pretend to be focused elsewhere. I know better. Those two are hanging on our every word from their distance.

“So, what did that girl have to say that was so important and private that she couldn’t say it in front of us?” I probe.

“She inquired about her application at my company again. I told her we currently weren’t hiring, but that if something became available and she was qualified for the position, I would be in touch with her. This is the second time I tell her the same thing. She’s very persistent.” He seems annoyed.

“Yeah, well…persistent isn’t all she is.” I say with a much more bitter tone than intended.

“Valentina Moretti, are you jealous?” Josh asks with a bewildered look.

“She sure is! Don’t let her fool you!” Kade says loud enough for several people to hear.

I can’t help but give him and Kade an appalled look. “No.”

Josh leans in closer to me and whispers, “Baby, you’re so fuckin’ sexy. I swear, the minute we get back to my place, I’m gonna tear you apart and show you how good you just made me feel.” He puts his hands on either side of my face and gives me an intense expression. “I don’t want anyone else. Understand?”

“I can’t believe you’re turned on because you think I’m jealous. You’re sick and twisted. You know that, right?”

“Yes.” He kisses me lightly on the lips. “Remind me to stop by the store on our way back to my house. If my lady wants to play naked Twister, who am I not to fulfill her wishes.” He hugs me tightly before I have a chance to protest.
