Chapter 26: Chapter:26
**Taylor's POV**
I stare at Dimitri's pissed off face before turning to look at Daniel, who is looking very lost. "This is Daniel, our new neighbour." I say introducing Daniel and everybody is quiet. "Why is a stranger in your apartment." Dimitri asks, being rather rude and I scoff before looking at Daniel who is visibly uncomfortable.
"I helped him unpack and we we're just about to go and get some pizza." I say softly not trying to escalate the situation. "You've been alone with him this whole time?" Dimitri asks looking even more angry.
"Stop it, Dimitri." I say becoming annoyed with him. "I think I'm going to go." Daniel says and I feel awful that he has to leave because of Dimitri's bad attitude. "Okay, I'm sorry." I apologize as we walk to the door."
He shrugs it off. "You're okay. I'll see you around." He says as he pulls the door open before walking out and shutting it again. I turn around and give Dimitri a death stare. "You were being really fucking rude, Dimitri. That little performance was uncalled for." I say and I can see Kelsey and Chris sneak off to her room.
"Uncalled for? You being alone with a man, in your apartment is rude." He says and all I can do is laugh to stop my anger from bubbling over. "I was getting my wallet to go out when you guys came in. I wasn't doing anything with him." I tell him and he shakes his head.
"You were the one who said no secret relationships outisde of ours. You said that it could ruin the whole plan but here you are cozying up with some guys." He says and only now can I tell that he is a little intoxicated.
"That's what you're not understanding. I was only helping him and you are overreacting." I tell him and he lets out a dreaful laugh. "I'm sure you were." He says insinuating something else.
"Oh fuck off. You can believe whatever the hell you want 'cause I'm not going to try to convince you." I say walking away to my room and slamming the door.
My heart is pounding in my chest from the amount of anger running through my vein right now. I can not believe this level of jealousy coming from Dimitri. I don't know whether him being this mad makes me a little weary or very horny.
*Both.*
It scares me a little that he is so mad over something so small. What if this is only surface level to a hoard of bad traits he might have.
My door open and he walks in before shutting it. "Taylor, you can't walk away like that when I'm trying to talk to you."He says all soft, all of a sudden. "That's the thing, you weren't talking, Dimitri. You were acussing me." I tell him and he sighs before sitting down nwxt to me on the bed.
"I'm sorry, I just got so angry seeing him so close to you. I don't know what made me react that way." He says and I look at him. "I get that but you were incredibly rude to Daniel. You'll need to apologize next time we see him." I tell him and he look apprehensive but agrees anyway.
"Are you going home with me?" He asks and I smile. "I have only been home for a few hours and you want me to leave again." I say giving him a deadpan look and he gives me a coy smile.
"Yeah, that or I could just stay the night. Either way, I'll be a happy man." He say and I laugh. "You can stay the night but you definitely have to take a shower. You reek of alcohol." I tell him and he chuckles. "Yeah, I might've had a few." He says and I sarcastically gasp. "Only a few." I say and he rolls his eyes.
"Dimitri, why didn't you tell me you were going to Keath's club?" I ask like a whiney bitch. "It was supposed to be a boys night but Chris brought Kelsey because those two are joined at the hip apprently." He jokes with a small laugh and I nod.
"I see." I say and he walks over to me. "...and because I wasn't too sure about whether or not you had enough of me. You seemed to want to get away today so I didn't want to crowd you." He says and I instantly feel bad for making him feel this way.
"That's not it. I just had to sort stuff with my new job situation out with Kelsey. I can't do that over the phone, obviously." I tell him and he nods. "Of course. I'm just telling you how I felt about it. " He explains and I nod.
"If it makes you feel better, I felt the exact same way today." I say and his eyes soften. "I never want you to feel like I don't want you around." He says and I nod. "Same here."
"We need to communicate better." I tell him and he nods. "I agree. I almot body slammed a man today 'cause I wouldn't listen to you." He jokes and I laugh.
"No violence." I say getting up and walk out off the room. I get a glass of cold water before taking it back to Dimitri.
"I'm starving. You want a sandwich 'cause I'm going to make myself one." I ask as I hand him the water and he nods. "That would be amazing, thank you." He says with a grateful smile on his lips. Going back to the kitchen, I make a few quick ham, cheese and lettuce sandwiches. I made sure to make enough for Chris and Kelsey aswell before covering them and taking Dimitri's sandwiches to him.
He practically inhales the food once I give it to him and gives me a cute smile as he hands me the plate.
"Now you can take a shower and we could play a board game with Chris and Kelsey. I'm going to talk to her while you do that." I tell him and he nods.
I give him a towel and he goes off to the bathroom.
Walking to Kelsey's room, I knock and wait for her to open the door. She does and both her and Chris look weary of coming out. "We sorted it out." I tell them with a small laugh and Chris blows out a breath. "I thought for a second that you'd start throwing punches." He says and I laugh. "Push me far enough and I might." I joke and he hides behind Kelsey.
"I need to steal your girl for a bit." I tell him and he nods. " She's all yours." He says pushing her towards me.
"I made sandwiches if you're hungry." I tell him and he makes a B-line to the kitchen. Kelsey and I walk to to the livingroom and sit down.
"What's up?" She asks and I twist my fingers in angst. "Please don't be mad." I say and she looks worried. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Yeah. So I may have kinda quit my job today." I say and she stares at me for a bit.
"YOU WHAT?!"
