Sleeping Together

Chapter Eleven: Sleeping Together 

"So have you two kisses or anything?" Ethan asks, smirking at Reed.

Reed looks at me. "Not exactly."

"What does that mean?"

"Nothing!" I shout. "It means nothing at all! We haven't kissed or anything!" Just because Ethan is okay with Reed and I possibly being something doesn't mean he has to know what we did together.

No one does.

Ever.

"This is so weird." Ethan stares at me. "I've known you forever and I swore one day I'd be your best man."

"We all know Josie would be my best man, Ethan." I chuckle softly. "But what does that mean? Just because I like a guy doesn't mean I'm not going to get married, one day." Honestly I really don't want to think about marriage right now. I'm sixteen. I don't need to.

"Two dudes can't get married!"

"Can to!" Reed glares. "Caleb and I can get married if we want! In New York!"

"Ew, I'm not going to New York to marry you! We'll get married in my- Reed we aren't even dating."

He smiles. "Let’s just skip that and get married." I roll my eyes.

"As lovely as that sounds, I've know you like a month. And we are way too young." What if he was actually being serious? Could I actually marry a man? I never thought of my future family very much but I always expected to marry some girl and have a few kids. I don't necessarily want kids, but if I choose to spend forever with a man I don't even get a choice. It's not like men can get pregnant. I guess we could adopt...

Eh.

"Damn, rejected." Ethan snickers.

Reed keeps smiling. "Then if we're too young for that, what do you say about just dating?"

I shrug. "I mean I like you-" my eyes widen. He just! He just asked me out! Oh my God!

"I like you too princess, but that doesn't answer my question." He laughs. Ethan sits awkwardly on Reed's air mattress trying to not look at the two of us.

I blush a little.

"Yes, no?"

"I, uh, yes?" I've never even asked anyone out before! I always thought I'd do the asking out thing. I guess it doesn't really matter who does what in a gay relationship.

"Maybe I should ask later?" A very confused Reed stares at me. "I mean I can do it more romantic if you want."

"No!" I stop him. "Please no, this is fine. I'll go on a date with you." I've never been on a date before so I'm not sure what to expect. I hope he doesn't plan anything too special, for now at least, I only have wrinkled tee shirts and faded jeans with me.

Then again we're stuck at the fair for another week, there's not anything really fancy going on.

"Really?" He grins excitedly. "Best day ever!"

"Most awkward day ever." Ethan mumbles softly to himself.

I sit criss-cross applesauce. Smiling like a fool.

"Mmh, Reed stop!" I giggle softly slapping the hand wrapped firmly around my waist. Maybe I should explain the situation before your minds start wondering off to the gutter.
