Jemmas POV
It's been a week since Skye and I started to be friends again.
Things have gone well so far.
It's not like we're best friends but we talk and have the occasional laugh together.
One time she even asked if I could sit at her table but I told her I couldn't ditch Leo like that.
I'm going over her house today to work on the project.
I'm kind of nervous.
I'm not sure if her parents will be there, and if they are how will they react to seeing me after all these years.
Skye moved to a different part of the town, this will be the first time I see her knew house.
As we pull up in her drive way I gaze at the amazing house.
It's huge!
"Wow." I gasp
"My dad is the CEO of the company now so we moved here." She explains
We walk inside the house and it's absolutely beautiful.
"Want anything to eat or do you want to come straight to my room?" She offers
"Your room would be fine, thanks."
We walk up the spiral stair case and we go into the first rom on the left.
On the door and has "Skye's room" painted in blue on the door.
She opens the door and it's cream with a beautiful furniture placed around.
She even has a small working fireplace closer to her bed. A beautiful chandelier towering over he'd bed.
It's absolutely magnificent.
"This room is amazing."
"Thanks!"
I run over to the window and notice a pool.
"This is so cool!" I admire
She goes over to sit on her bed and pulls out all of our science materials.
I sit next to her and proceed to take out my stuff while she turns on her laptop.
She starts quickly typing and researching stuff.
I can't believe how good she is with computers.
Boy, has she changed a lot.
We get right to the project and we seem to take notes and research for what seems like hours.
I type the paper and print it.
"Wow... You know we have a month to do that and we finished it in a week!" Skye says completely shocked.
"That's how I role!" I joke
"We're done, what do we do now?"
"Well my parents aren't coming home until 1 am so in free to then, want to swim?" She offers
"Sure."
Skye fumbles through her closet and pulls out two bathing suits.
She throws one to me and points to a bathroom in which I can change in.
I quickly change and meet Skye back in her room.
"Ready?"
"Yup!"
We walk over to the pool, I dip my toe in.
"It's heated?!"
"Yeah!" She smiles
We both get right in and we starts swimming around.
All of a sudden I feel something brushing my leg and pulls my under.
I let out a scream,
"Skye!!!!! I'm soooooo getting you back!"
I chase her around the pool and I finally catch her.
I jump on her back forcing her to go back under.
When she comes back up we both start laughing like crazy.
-----
We're out of the pool, drying off in Skye's room.
"I've missed this." I confess
"Me too." She sighed
"Can't we just be best friends again?" We both say in unison and we both start cracking up again.
"Yes!" We chant together.
Skye pulls out a movie and we sit on her bed and watch it on her laptop.
We turn on the little mermaid, a show we both loved when we were younger.
Our legs lightly brush and I can feel my cheeks burning. It's a feeling I've never felt before.
Skye's POV
When Jemma's leg touched mine an immediate shiver went through me.
Do, do I like her?
I think she felt it too.
I just need to touch her again, I rest my head on her shoulder.
I know she feels it to, when I touch her she seems to moan a little.
I find it rather cute actually.
But no, I can't like her. We've just become friends again.
I refocus my attention to the film.
I'm not dumb, I notice that she's moving closer to me.
I intertwine my legs with hers and we play around slightly before my bedroom door opens abruptly.
"Mom?! Your home early!" I quickly say as I untangle myself from Jemma.
My mom doesn't bother to even say hi to me, she instead goes straight to Jemma.
"Jemma?!"
"Hey Mrs Coulson." Jemma happily responds as she hugs my mom.
"Please, call me Melinda. How are you hun?"
"I'm great, thanks!" She responds in her light accent.
"That's good, I'll leave you two, you must have a lot to catch up on. Great to see you Jemma!" My mom says before leaving my room.
"Sorry about that." I mutter
"Nah don't worry about it. Your mom is still extremely nice!"
We have an awkward moment of silence, I really want an excuse to touch her again.
I put the movie back on and when she grabs more popcorn I also do so we can touch hands.
When she feels my hand in the popcorn bowl we both start playing with each others fingers.
Maybe she feels it too.
Her phone buzzes, it's her mom.
Damn.
"Sorry, I have to go, my moms here."
"Oh okay." I say, trying my best to not seems disappointed.
I walk her to the front door and hug her, this hug seems to last longer. Maybe she didn't notice, and if she did I don't think she cared.
-----
"I think I have a crush on Jemma!" I blurt out.
"What?!" Ward excitedly responds.
"I think I have a crush on Jemma!!" I repeat myself.
"Since when?!"
"Since last night."
"She spent the night? Details!!!" Ward eagerly pushes.
"Ugh no Ward, nothing happened and she didn't stay the night. She just stayed later. I mean like we touched and it felt really different. Knowing that I'm bi, I know, I know that I like her."
"Wow... Well what are you going to do about it?" He questions.
"I don't know. We just started being friends and I don't think she's into girls." I groan.
Damn it, this is so god damn difficult.
"Help me?" I ask completely frustrated.
"Sure, I'll befriend her and find out the scoop. Invite her to sit with us." He suggest.
"She won't leave that boy, I'm pretty sure she likes him."
"Well then invite him too." He tells me.
"Alright."
