Best Friends

88 And Again

"you need to go to bed." He said as we walked into the bedroom. I leaned up against the door and crossed my arm across my chest
"I don't wanna go to bed."
"Cmon Lexi. Stop being so childish and get into bed. I know you're tired."
"I'm not tired" I insisted. He walked over to me crowding extremely close to my face
"Tom what are you doing?"
"Just telling you to go to bed" he smirked slightly
"I'm not tired" I insisted
"I know you are. So come to bed."
"Make me" I taunted definitely pushing my look but the distance between us was slowly closing in as he pressed his forehead to mine. He then reached to the side and locked the door to the room before pulling away giggling
"You're so easy to mess w-"
"Do it again" I asked
"Lexi not this again i-"
"Do it again." He walked back over but this time I had to pull him in by his shirt. I kissed him roughly and at first he kissed back before pushing me away. Well, more so pushing himself away from the door.
"We can't" he said though he seemed completely up for it
"Give me one good reason why. Neither of us are with someone. Besides...it'll help relieve some stress" he waited a few moments seemingly toying with the idea before kissing me again
"It's gonna fuck everything up lex" he said pulling away again and resting his forehead on mine so we were still close together "Just promise you wont let it. Okay?" I nodded and he closed the gap kissing me a lot softer this time. We just kept kissing for a good few minutes and didn't move from the door. I nearly screamed when I heard a knock. Luckily he put his hand over my mouth which muffled the loud gasp I made so hopefully it couldn't be heard on the other side of the door "Pretend you were crying" he said super quietly "Who is it?"
"It's Sam"
"One second. Lex cmon. Get up from behind the door and let your mum in" I hugged him tight hiding my face in his chest so she could see that I in fact hadn't been crying. He unlocked the door and she opened it sighing
"What's up love?"
"Just a bit overwhelmed aren't ya?" I nodded
"That's understandable love. I've just come to say goodnight. And the boys downstairs said you can bother them if you need anything"
"Yeah. Okay." Tom said nudging me
"Night mum"
"Well I see you got Tom to take care of you. I'll be off to bed"
"Thanks Sam" Tom said closing the door once she'd walked away. I held my breath for a moment listening for her bedroom door and I burst out laughing when I heard it close
"Thanks Sam" I mocked in a deep voice
"Shut up. What did you want me to say? I'm about to have sex with your daughter do you mind?"
"Never said anything about that did I?" I joked pulling away from the hug "But it's an idea. I'll give you that"
"You still okay with it?"
"Yeah. I am" I smirked and pulled him down by the collar to kiss him with more force than before. He pulled away and put and hand on each of my shoulders to hold me down
"Slow down yeah. Just enjoy it."
"But-"
"You wanna go there?" He questioned completely removing his hands from me and crossing them across his chest "You're really testing my patience."
"No." I said obediently as I reached my arms out making grabby hands he picked me up and sat down on the bed immediately kissing me again but annoyingly slow
"You ready?" He mumbled against my lips. Partly to sound hot and partly to ask if I was indeed sure that's what I wanted "Lexi?"
"Chill. Give me time to actually say something"
"So?"
"Yeah."
"Gotta stay quiet though. Can ya do that?" I suddenly went quiet. His change in demeanor shut me up real quick and he smirked proudly "can you do that?" He repeated. I nodded my head rapidly "Good. Cus can't have them hearing us can we?" I again didn't respond so he gripped my face "Can we?"
"This ain't like last time." I commented a little surprised
"Shit" he pulled his hand away from my face "I-I can stop. Shit I just thought- you not into that-"
"Just shut up. You're overthinking. It's cute. But shut the fuck up" I kissed him quickly
"Right." He said nodding "So just to be clear-"
"Yes. I am into that." I clarified
"Good" he said kissing me "Cus I'm into that too"

I started tracing circles onto his bare chest
"You bored or sommet?"
"No. Just happy" I giggled slightly but he swatted my hand away "Sorry"
"Are you high? You're all giggly and weird."
"You know I'm pregnant. Why you being an arse?"
"I'm not. You're just being weird." He took my arm off him altogether and slotted it down by his side. I rolled onto my back "Why you being like that?"
"Why are you being like that. We just had-"
"I know what we fucking did Lexi. I was part of it too" he spat cutting me off
"Yeah. And I didn't see you complaining." He sat up and on the edge of the bed "What you doing?" He got up and picked his stuff up
"Going downstairs" he started pulling his clothes on
"So you just gonna fuck me then leave? Is that how we gonna do it now?"
"Shut up Lexi" he muttered pulling on his pants and clearly giving up on the idea of a shirt
"No. I won't."
"Fine. Talk to yourself then"
"Fuck you Tom. I thought you fucking cared"
"I do" he said sounding a little hurt by me disputing it
"Then stay then" he rolled his eyes and his attitude was back
"Come with or stay here. I don't really care."
"Just fuck off Tom"

Tom's POV
"Sam know you're smoking a joint out here?"
"Sam know you're fucking her pretty much daughter upstairs?"
"Touche" I commented holding my hand out for him to take the joint from his hands
"And to answer your question yeah she does. I asked her if it was okay" I started laughing, choking on the inhalation of smoke in the process
"You asked her if it was okay to smoke illegal drugs in her back yard?"
"Yeah. But I'd have done it anyway. And it's not like it's cocaine. It's a bit of weed. I'll be fine"
"That's more like it" I handed him the joint back and sat down on the garden chair besides him
"She asleep?"
"No"
"So you left her? After you guys had sex?"
"How do you even know about it?"
"Went for a piss cus I thought you guys were sleeping. If it helps I know that you were trying to keep quiet."
"How do you- Yknow what I don't wanna know." He took one last puff and put out the blunt in the ashtray on the garden table
"Why'd you leave her?" He asked clearly only slightly fazed by the weed and partly aware of what he was doing
"Just couldn't lie there with her. Like we were a couple. Ain't right"
"What? And fucking her then walking away is."
"You know I don't think like that. I just needed to come talk to you. Because...fuck it I'm going back inside."
"No. You can talk to me. It's shit weed anyway. Only thing it's giving me is lung cancer"
"I don't have any feelings for her. But when we get like that it just...I don't know. You probably don't wanna hear it"
"To be honest with you, no I don't. But if it helps you talk away about your desire to fuck her."
"Don't say it like that. I'm not treating her like a slag or nothing. I make sure she's like...Yknow...enjoying it and stuff. And she don't feel anything either. But she encourages it. And I don't know what to do."
"Did you just mansplain friends with benefits to me?"
"I knew this was a waste of time." I stood up shaking my head
"Wait. Come sit down. And if you want my one hundred percent honest opinion then I say just go with it. Neither of you are with anyone and as long as it's consented it's all good." He patted the seat next to him "Now just come and sit down. Take a deep breath and then you can think about how you're gonna go apologise for leaving her."
"Where's Mikey?" I asked as I sat back down
"Passed out asleep. But that's not important. We haven't talked in a while."
"You gonna get into one of your deep philosophical chats?"
"Damn right I am. And you, sunshine, are gonna wanna let it all out by the time I'm done with you"
