Keeping Up With Cade

Chapter Sixteen: Did someone say dinner party?

Chapter sixteen.

Two days later and she was still annoyed with him.

For someone who agreed it would be a lot better if they kept whatever they were doing a secret...he sure was going about it the wrong way!

There were multiple times Hailey could have cottoned on, if it were anyone but Hailey they would have realised weeks ago what Blair and Cade had been doing. He certainly gave enough hints anyway.

'You've been staring at me with a sour face all week,' Cade commented as they found themselves in the kitchen together alone one afternoon. 'Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the silent treatment. Just wondering why.'

'You're such a douche,' she retorted back rolling her eyes. 'I'm staying away from you because I think we should stop having er...' She paused and glanced around the empty room, 'You know.'

'What?' he lifted his head up to stare at her amused. 'Having sex?'

Blair felt herself blush at his words, 'Yes, that. We need to stop it.'

'You know you say this to me at least once a week now,' Cade stood up and walked over to her confidently. 'And I've told you numerous times, I can stop it easily...' He paused right in front of her, his head lowering slightly enough she could feel his minty breath on her forehead. 'It's you who can't.'

Her response died on her lips as her eyes were drawn upwards to his, she was hating herself for leaning forward already anticipating the kiss before it happened. Who was she kidding? She wanted him.

Just before her lips touched his he stepped backwards chuckling, 'Told you. I'm out of here.'

Blair watched him leave the kitchen, hearing the front door open and close, again feeling quite humiliated. She was kicking herself for caving so easily. All he had to do was give her a cheeky grin and she practically melted into his arms! But she knew she had to be careful, she wasn't stupid. He was definitely playing with her.

'Blair? Hello?'

She heard Brady call her name from the front door and grabbed her bag heading out to meet him. She'd called Brady that morning and asked if he wanted to go for coffee to discuss her little situation. It was killing her not to confide in Hailey and Brady was all too willing to get the gossip.

'Ready babe?' He asked with a gleaming smile.

'I am so ready to get out of the house, Cade is doing my head in!'

They were barely out the door before she started ranting and Brady looked over at her in glee.

'Is this in between your rampant sex?' He asked innocently.

Blair felt herself blush and hit his arm lightly, 'Shut up, we haven't had sex in like three days.'

Brady's eyes bugged out of his head, 'Three days? That's not long at all! Are you saying you do it quite regularly?'

Blair nodded, 'Well kind of yeah... We have these huge fights, stupidly ridiculous ones though Brady. It usually starts with me calling him names when he makes a gross comment to me, then he teases me a bit and something makes me jump into his arms as soon as he gives me this look.' Blair paused trying to mimic the heated stare Cade has perfected so well.

Brady raised an eyebrow at her and Blair couldn't help laughing, she knew she looked like some kind of confused fish with her Cade-pout.

'Ok so it's not like that, but he has this look he gives me and it makes my whole body heat up...' She trailed off embarrassed. 'I can't help it. And I've never felt this way before.'
