Inside Out

Jordan's POV
I had studied hard. I removed all distractions and did all my exams and before I knew it exams were over.

The weather was getting colder as Fall was now coming to an end. It was late November.

Kennedy and I were currently out shopping for Carter's kickback tomorrow.

Given the fact that mid term exams were over people needed a reason to celebrate. What better way than to have a party .

Carter had said it was only a few people from his university and mine but knowing Carter. It would be more.

I had told him to stop calling it a kickback because it would be transformed into a full blown party.

"You like these?", Kennedy asked holding a leopard print mini skirt against her chest.

Giving her a deadpan I responded "now Kennedy you know I don't do skirts."

With a playful roll of her eyes she placed the item  on the clothing rack from which it came as we moved to another section.

"So, Nau'jour huh?", Kennedy asked me with a slight shoulder bump.

Not wanting to give anything away. I acted nonchalant, truthfully my lady parts jumped at the name. "What about him?", I asked taking up a sweatshirt which I had found interest in.

"You tell me.", Kennedy stated looking up at me smirking knowingly.

"What do you mean?", I asked slightly curious.

"Your vibrator has been working over time these past few nights.", she stated suddenly laughing.

Hiding my shocked expression I laughed. "Who says it has anything to do with him?" . She gave a 'really' look to which I sighed finally caving.

"Alright. Alright.", I stated holding my hands up in surrender. I told her what had been happening between him and I the past few weeks.

To say she was bursting with excitement would be an understatement. "You dirty dirty girl.", she stated teasing me. I left the part out about what had happened on the kitchen counter. She didn't need to know that.

"So, would you want a relationship with him outside of sex?", she asked to which I immediately answered. "Heck no". She gave a look as if to say continue.

"We have similar likes and talents. Yes. But we live two different lives. He has a fast life always on the go or on the road. I'm more laid back. And I can't trust him. He would be around different girls every week.", I explained.

"Hmm. Sounds like your scared he will hurt you she stated. "I'm terrified.", I agreed truthfully.

"I think . I would manage a strictly sexual relationship with him better. I mean have safe consenting sex and then we're free to do whatever. No restrictions or commitments. I mean I know how it works.", I stated. "Not to toot my own horn but I have entertained these relationships well enough without getting hurt.", I added.

"Well true.", Kennedy added smiling nostalgically as she reminisced about the time when she had just met me.

"So, who do you think is going to cave first?", she asked holding up some earrings against my ear as we had now wandered to the jewelry section of the store.

"I wanna say him so bad. But he got a good game. I really don't know.", I stated looking at some bamboo earrings. "These are cute.", I added.

Agreeing Kennedy picked up a pair. "Well it's time to step your game up.", Kennedy stated winking walking away.
