Naomi Jones

"So what's the deal with you and that hottie from yesterday?" I asked Shiloh.

He took a sip of his strawberry refresher in order to temporarily avoid the question.

"That blush tells me all I need to know."  Alex leaned on me. Her highlighted curly hair bounced as she laughed at the blush spreading on the mans cheeks.

That comment of hers only seemed to make him blush more.

Alex is the only other person I try talk to besides the twins. I've known her since we were pretty much babies. She had to work earlier, while we were at the library, but she agreed to meet us here afterwards.

"No need to tease him, he's already red as a damn tomato." I chuckled at his expense, picking up my cup of hot chocolate and taking a sip. I took notice of Alex, who was still holding on to my arm, even while I was sipping my drink.

Shilah noticed this as well.

She picked up her caramel macchiato and smiles wryly at me behind the cup.

Shilah knows about the crush that I used to have on Alex. I met her and Shiloh about six years ago, in the fourth grade, so we've been best-friends for a very long time now.

As for Alex..

She rejected me last year.

On Valentine's Day.

Although it stung, I've never resented her for that. Everyone should have a right to choose who they want to be with.

But when she started doing things like leaning on me, winking at me, even kissing me whenever she was drunk or high- it confused me.

Those actions of hers made me slowly lose any feelings that I had for her.

I'd be lying if I said our friendship hasn't had a strain on it for a while now because of that.

My current dilemma is that even though my feelings for her came to a halt, her actions didn't.

"I'd rather not discuss my twin brothers sex life guys." Shilah shook her head,putting her drink down as if the very thought repulses her.

"Yes, can we please change the subject." Shiloh peeks out from behind his sweater covered hands, cheeks smushed and eyes wide behind those brown frames.

"Yeah yeah." I rolled my eyes taking another sip of cocoa.

"What about you Naomi, anybody in your bed?" Alex finally let go of my arm and instead leaned back against her chair, staring at me expectatantly.

Somehow, She still managed to brush up against me and display her lacy push up bra that was peeking from behind the spaghetti strap shirt she wore. She batted her eyelashes and pursed her lips a bit while adjusting the blue jean jacket that hung around her shoulders.

"Now THAT'S  something I actually wanna know." Shilah wiggles her eyebrows and laughs at the grimace on my face.

"No, there hasn't been anybody in my bed. Especially since I still live with my mom. The thought alone doesn't even feel morally correct." I shuddered at the idea itself. No way was I going to fuck someone in the bed that my mom paid for.
