i did something bad

WARNING:SMUT (and also long)

Joe snuck into his house through the back door, ashamed and exhausted, still reeking of sweat and alcohol from the night before, but more importantly, he was absolutely terrified of Victoria's reaction.

He had never done anything remotely similar to  that. He turned his phone off and sneakily asked his friends to meet at Ja'Marr's place for a "boy night" as he himself described it, knowing full well he never intended to go back home. Andrei, Sam, Tee and obviously Ja'Marr agreed, in a last ditch effort to get their old friend and team leader back. Victoria wasn't the only one to feel the extent of Joe's wrath lately.

He was irritated every second of their training sessions, and shut them down every time they tried to comfort him. So they view their little gathering as a last Hail Mary moment, an intervention, so to speak.

It turned out that Joe never interned to discuss football, or his feelings regarding his injury. He spent the night drinking straight from a bottle of scotch and bitching to his friends about Victoria.

He bitterly complained about their fights, her avoidance, long hours in the lab and her latest closeness to Logan. They listened to him, attempted and failed to calm him down, while they also tried to take the expensive bottle away from his mouth, but he kept chugging it like a man in a desert, desperate for the burning liquid.

As the loyal group of friends they were, they helped him stalk Logan's Instagram profile, hoping to trash talk him, to appease Joe until he fell asleep.

To their surprise, there wasn't much to trash talk about. Logan was perfectly good looking, he stayed fit, even if he wasn't a professional athlete like they were, and his profile was filled with cool, artsy pictures of him, showing a laid-back, and mysterious persona. His latest post mentioned Victoria, which only added to Joe's anger and mistrust of his intentions.

@rslogan:  trying to find something to read until @malowe_tori decides to send her doctoral thesis.

Joe's spite was so overwhelming, that he tried to drunk DM Logan, to get him to back off from his girl. Luckily his friends intervened, ripped his phone from his hands, and finally managed to send him to sleep. He dozed off after putting one hell of a fight, feeling his anger dissipating in the ocean of his sleep. That was everything he remembered from the night before.

Joe's plan of stealthily walking to his room unnoticed, in an effort to take a shower and rinse the smell of booze from his body before facing his girlfriend, failed miserably, since he didn't expect Victoria to be sitting on the main dinning table, with her laptop out, intensely focused on whatever she was writing.

Cornered, he gathered the courage to speak, and approached her vision field.

"Uhm, hey, I know that you're probably so pissed off right now, and rightfully so, I just lost track of time, and..."

"I'm not angry Joe. I was worried about you, but I see that you're fine now" Victoria didn't even looked up from her laptop screen to face him. She was completely disinterested.

"Woah. That was cold" Joe scoffed at her.

"Well, that's life, what can I tell you?" Victoria let out a bored sigh.

"For someone who claims to not be angry, you sure sound pretty fucking vexed" Joe tried to provoke her, to get a reaction, because the truth was that her indifference hurt way more than fighting with her.

"I'm not angry, really. I'm disappointed, in you, in how you've managed the situation, in your inability or unwillingness to talk to me. But I'm tired of begging for you to remember I exist" Victoria finally looked up, with a nonchalant expression on her face.

"You're not even gonna ask where I was?" Joe was almost insulted at her detachment. But Victoria already knew the answer to that question. Andrei had been kind enough to send her pictures and videos of a passed out Joe on Ja'Marr's coach to ease her anxiety.

"I already know where you were" she mustered without engaging any further.

"What? I can't have a little friend hangout with my teammates but you can spend all day in school, with him?" Joe tried to steer the conversation around.

"Oh there you go again, mentioning Logan, I swear Joe, you care more about him than I do" Victoria was getting tired of his constant jealousy.

"So you care about him, huh?" Joe's hurt was palpable, he felt his heart crushed.

"Of course I care about him, he's my academic tutor and a friend. You have female friends and I've never nagged you about them" Victoria replied, already over the entire situation.

"Don't try to make this about me" Joe placed his hand on his expensive mahogany table.

"You're the one who didn't come home last night. Imagine how you would've reacted if I pulled that shit off" Victoria raised her voice, finally on the mood to pick up a fight.

"I just needed to get out of the house, I was desperate to find focus again, and..." Joe couldn't finish his sentence.

"And you chose to look for it in other people. I get it, but don't pretend like it wasn't a shitty thing to do to me" Victoria didn't admit it our loud, but in reality she spent the entire night crying, worried sick about him, she called everyone she could contact that knew him. Andrei was the first to pick up, and he was, probably Victoria's closest ally in the friend group.

"Of course my lesion has to be about your feelings, Victoria, everything is about you" Joe yelled, incredibly frustrated at Victoria's inability to understand his reasoning.

"It's not, but you make it my fucking business when you lash out like a wounded animal at me. So who is really playing the victim here?" Victoria got up from her chair and shut her laptop down.

"I don't know what to do about this situation anymore" Joe raised both his arms in a gesture of surrender. Victoria however, interpreted his words as him asking for a way out of their relationship. A void formed in her stomach.

"Perhaps there's nothing else to be done...." She almost cried when she finished her sentence.

"What?" Joe turned to look at her, teary eyed and in complete disbelief that such a thought had crossed her mind. Had she been thinking about it? About leaving him? Fuck fuck fuck.

"You know what I mean" Victoria couldn't bring herself to say it.

"No, please let's not rush into things" the possibility of loosing her was unbearable, he panicked, and rushed towards her, in an effort to pull her in close.

Victoria stood there, next to the table, unflinching. Stoic.

"I love you" Tears began rolling down her face uncontrollably.

Joe's worst fear was that this could mean goodbye.

"Then don't leave me. Please, Vic, you're the only reason I'm still here, semi sane, if you leave, if I lose you... I don't want to even think about it. I love you more than life" Joe cupped her face in his hands, connecting his forehead to hers, and Victoria felt her knees weaken by the intense stare of Joe's beautiful blue eyes, all drowned in tears.

"If you love me please stop pushing me away. I'm here Joe, I want to support you, I want to be there for you, I wan to show you how I'll always have your back, every step of the way, but I can't if you keep pulling away from me"

Joe wiped the tears that streamed down her cheeks, with his right thumb, caressing her face as if it was the most delicate and precious treasure he had.

"Come here baby..." He made a small stop. " I know I've behaved like a spoiled brat. I'm so sorry. Let me make it up to you" Joe began stroking her arms, and softly kissing her left ear.

"No, Joe we can't do this. Fighting and then fucking without actually solving the problem is what led us here in the first place" Although she said that out loud, she was having a hard time resisting his physical advances. She craved him bad.

Joe grunted. "Fine, I guess that makes sense. Even if I have to resist claiming you as my own right here in this table" Victoria felt herself drip at the thought of that. But she knew she was right.

"And please don't think for a second that what you did was okay. Don't you ever do it again. Or I'm out" Victoria's face remained dead serious.

"I'll never ever do it again" Joe raised his hand as a sign of a solemn pledge.

They spent hours tangled up in the couch, too afraid to move, to speak, to say anything that could disrupt what felt like a newfound brittle hope that their relationship would be okay.

That was until Joe's phone screen lit up,

It was a text from Ja'Marr inviting them both to a special celebration at their favorite club in honor of his upcoming birthday.

Ja'Marr:Hey man, since you ended so fucked up yesterday and we didn't even get the chance to celebrate my birthday, I was thinking that maybe you and Victoria could join some of the guys and me at Tulua. 9:30ish? That is if she didn't murder you for the stunt you pulled. In which case, I fully support her.

"What do you think?" Joe asked Victoria while he showed her his phone screen so she could read the text.

"Seriously? You wanna drink some more?" Victoria raised an eyebrow.

Joe shook his head.

"No drinking involved, promise. I just wanna have fun with you. I can't remember the last time we went out as a couple, to blow off some steam and have fun" Joe's expression changed to a pleading look.

"Fine. But absolutely no alcohol involved"

"I live for the simple things, Marlowe. Like watching you dance in a mini tight dress" Joe kissed her forehead.

After getting ready they arrived at the club at the hour they had agreed to. Victoria chose a sequin black dress with a deep cut V neckline, that suited her body perfectly. This felt like the break from life they both needed.

When they walked through the door, they immediately were greeted by Ja'Marr who already had a drink in hand and a beautiful brunette on the other.

"Joe! Tori! It's great that you came here" he offered them a wide smile.

"Man I'm so happy you're alive. I wasn't sure you'd make it" Ja'Marr joked as he whispered in Joe's ear. He's He was convinced that even if Victoria didn't break things up, she'd never let him go out with the group again. She wasn't the resentful type, he supposed.

"Looking good Marlowe, I can't believe you are dating this guy" Victoria heard Andrei's voice coming from behind, he was pointing to Joe who had become caught up in a conversation about cars with Ja'Marr.

They shared a quick hug.

"Thanks a lot, you don't look bad yourself. Well, what can I tell you? He's got me on something" She offered him a wide smile.

"Come on, let's get something to drink, the boys seem to be pretty preoccupied right now" Andrei pointed to Ja'Marr and Joe, entranced by their animated conversation.

Victoria followed Andrei to the bar, across the crowded dance floor.

"I'm surprised to see you here, partying after your illicit rendezvous" Victoria joked, giving him a warm smile.

"Oh we didn't get to have fun. We were too busy taking care of your drunk boyfriend. Joe did the drinking for all of us" Andrei leaned in to receive the drinks they had ordered.

"Thank you for everything. Taking care of him and letting me know he was okay. That was so thoughtful of you, Andrei"

"It was nothing, truly. And I know this isn't any of my business, and I hope you don't think I'm overstepping here, but for what it's worth, Joe really truly loves you. He spent the whole night crying and complaining about how you ignored him and how scared he was of losing you. The man worships you" Andrei tilted his head, as a sign for Victoria to follow him through the dancing crowd back to the exclusive booth they had booked.

"Did he? You know what, Ioshi, you might be my favorite Bengal" Victoria told him, grinning.

"Oh he did. He also was very vocal about hating this hot teacher of yours" Andrei made sure Victoria was always in his sight, closely trailing her.

"Logan is not my teacher, but yeah, I am very much aware of Joe's feelings towards him"

"So what? Let's be honest here, and I promise I won't tell anyone, do you or do you not fancy him?" Andrei questioned her, before they reached the rest of the group and their conversation was over.

"I don't, I promise" Victoria lifted her right hand, as a sign of honesty.

Andrei nodded, and smiled at her, feeling at ease.

"Oh there you are my love" Joe placed his arm around his shoulder and kissed her cheek.

"Your drink, handsome" she said as she handed him his virgin cranberry soda.

"I say we go dancing, what do you think?" Joe whispered to her ear, arm wrapped around her shoulder. He wanted to show her off. She was his.

"I'm always up for that" Victoria grinned.

Victoria and Joe melted into the crowd, not giving a crap about anything, the high they were riding was just enough to make them forget how awful the last few weeks had been, or how much Joe's actions had hurt her.

The touch of his hands when Joe held her tight, when he placed his hand in her waistline, sent shivers down her spine. The music blended into the background, they were in their own little bubble, disconnected from the world, dancing and enjoying the night, savoring a moment that was only theirs.

Victoria started to feel the effect of the strong drink she chugged in a matter of minutes, she felt brave, and she knew what she was craving.

She stared to dance around Joe, provocatively showing him her deep cleavage and rubbing her ass in his body as discretely yet temptingly as she could.

Joe didn't even hesitate to take her hand and yank her out of the dance floor, leading her to the men's restroom.

They made sure it was clear, locked the door behind them and started to kiss passionately, the adrenaline, sweat and background music made the atmosphere more intense.

"I've been dying to tear your little dress apart, since I saw you come out of the house" Joe grinned.

"Don't rip it or else I'll have to walk out of here, naked, and as much as I'd like that, I know you wouldn't love the idea" Victoria teased him.

"Oh you'd like that? For everyone to see stare at you? You are mine. How many times do I need to remind you of it?" Joe pulled her dress up, and found himself surprised when he didn't feel any fabric between his fingers and her wet pussy.

"No underwear huh? Such a naughty girl"

"Maybe you should punish me" she replied.

"Already so wet for me" he lifted her up, helping her to seat on the edge of the restroom sink.

Without any doubt, he undid his zipper, took his hard cock out of his pants and thrusted inside of her, moaning at the contact with her warm entrance.

"Joe" she moaned. He placed his hand on her clit, rubbing it lightly, and going faster as he heard her breath intensify.

"Fuck" He groaned, feeling his release close. He had missed her so much.

"I'm gonna cum" she yelled.

"Cum for me" he whispered in her ear, feeling her walls tense up around his dick, and he couldn't help but fill her up with his own orgasm.

They smiled at each other, like the loving accomplices they were to each other.

"You should go out first. I don't want anyone to see us walk out of here together, all fucked up" Victoria said as she placed a kiss on his cheek. Joe just nodded, still stunned from what had happened.

"See you out there, gorgeous, don't take long" Joe kissed her forehead, absolutely high on the serotonin boost he got from his recent orgasm inside of her.

Victoria smiled, feeling her core tight and warm still, as she readjusted her dress, and tidied her hair up, she stood in front of the mirror, fixing her make up, her lipstick ended up smudged around her mouth, as the last evidence of her and Joe's passionate encounter in the restroom.

She felt like she was missing something she couldn't quite remember. There was something, something important she was lacking... She placed both of her hands on the restroom counter, when the realization hit her like a bucket of cold water.

She was missing something.

Her period was 8 days late.

Well our favorite couple is being extremely messy lately huh? I'm living for their drama.

I hope you are enjoying the story so far 🥰Happy gamedey, let's hope the bengals kill it.
