Maybe I Don't Hate You

Chapter 5

Nex's pov:

I laid down beside Scarlett and sighed.

"You know you can't tell anyone right?" she asked, staring up at the ceiling.

"If I wanted to don't you think I would've already, dumbass?"

"I don't know..."

"I won't tell anyone," I ensured.

"Do...do you want me to uhm..."

She looked down at my cargo pants. I could tell she was offering to return the favor.

"Nah, I'm good."

She looked like she couldn't move if she tried.

I got up and looked out the window.

"Great it's raining. Just my luck," I thought.

"You can stay...If you want."

I looked at her quizzically.

"It's getting dark and it's pouring. You could wait it out and get a ride."

"Sure yeah."

I climbed back into the bed and took out my phone, skimming through different apps.

Scarlett got up. She put on her shirt and underwear before sitting down next to me.

"So...what happened to the whole, 'it was a one time thing'?" I asked.

"Ugh," she groaned. "Know that this doesn't change anything between us. I still find you to be an absolute bitch."

"Says the one who's bestie got my ass beat."

"You got your own ass beat. Don't stare next time."

"You have a nice ass. I have the freedom to stare at what I want."

"That's what you were staring at?"

"Yup."

"Okay then don't be a perv and you won't get your ass beat!"

"Shut up! Your friends are homophobic douche bags and you know it!"

"You don't even know what you're saying."

"Shut up, asshole," I said.

"Don't tell me what to do."

"I said..." I grabbed her face and kissed her greedily. "...shut up."

She didn't say anything after so I knew that I had won this fight.

I turned onto my side and closed my eyes. Hopefully the rain would stop soon but in the meantime, I was just going to rest my eyes.

I felt the bed dip ever so slightly, indicating that she had laid down too.

Scarlett's pov:

Nex had to be the most annoying and meanest person that I knew at the moment.

After she kissed me, I didn't have the energy to keep fighting so I chose to lay down instead.

I tried my hardest to keep my eyes open, but I was exhausted and in the end, sleep took over.

"Welcome home Mrs. and Mr. Gray! How was the trip!"

I slowly regained consciousness.

"Was that Meridith? And were those my parents? They shouldn't be home!"

My eyes opened and I saw Nex sleeping besides me.

"Shit! She we must've fallen asleep yesterday."
