My Boyfriends Best Friend

Chapter 6

I wake up suddenly and frantically look around. The room is dark and I am laying on a bed pushed up against the far corner of the room. This doesn't look like Jons room but it also doesn't look unfamiliar. My brain suddenly takes me to the last thing I remember which was having sex with Jon and frantically I look down at my body. I am wearing a T-shirt and a pair of boxers, I don't remember getting dressed. Was I really that exhausted that I couldn't feel Jon putting clothes on me? I couldn't think about this right now, I look to my right and Darren is boxing me onto the bed again but after trying to wake him up the last time I know he wont wake up when I climb over him. I tiptoe across the room and open the door and Quietly slip into the hallway. Even though Darren owns the whole house he uses one of the bedrooms in the basement. He told me that his parents used to live here with him before they moved away and sold him the house and they had occupied the master upstairs. "I didn't really feel the need to move all of my stuff upstairs because my room down here is perfectly fine." he explained to me "and I can use the upstairs for guests, plus my parents come to visit pretty often."

I trail my hand along the hallway wall finding my way back to the livingroom. I head over to the couch looking for my phone. I had thrown it haphazardly at somepoint when Jon and I had been making out. I lift up a throw pillow that is on the floor and find it. When I turn on the screen It nearly blinds me but when my eyes adjust I see that it is only 12:30 am. That can't be right can it? We watched a 2 hour movie, spent 35 minutes waiting for food. I got to the house at 6:30... damn I wonder when Darren got back. I look through my messages real quick and see a text from Jasmin 30 minutes ago.

Jasmine: I hope you are getting some tonight BITTCCCHHHHHH!!!! :);)

She is clearly drunk, I shake my head and turn off my phone.

Then I pad my way over to Jon's room I take a deep breath before knocking softly on his door. "Come in," I hear Jon say softly, and I turn the knob and open the door. Jon is lying on a full-sized bed, but the legs of the frame seem to have given out. He is wearing his jeans but no shirt and reading a book. When Jon sees her, his eyes quickly look her up and down before returning their attention to her face. He swings his legs over the side of the bed and sits up to face her. "Is everything okay?" he asked, his voice full of concern for her which made her realize that there was something wet on her face. She reached a hand up and touched her face. She was crying. God, she must look like a lunatic. "I couldn't sleep," I finally manages to mutter before taking one of the long sleeves and wiping her face. Suddenly he is across the room, his arms are around her, and her legs feel like they will give out.

She doesn't remember exactly how it happens but somehow we end up on Jon's bed, and I am almost asleep again. I am resting my head on his chest, his soft heartbeat soothing me with its rhythm. He is still reading his book over my head, one hand holding the book up while his other hand strokes my hair. "What are you reading" I hear myself ask my curiosity clearly getting the best of me. His gaze doesnt move from the book as he says "its called tipping the velvet, I only just started it but its been pretty good so far." I need to get up my kind of boyfriend is asleep in the other room and and I am in here laying on his best friends bare naked amazingly sculpted god is he made of marble chest. I take a deep breath and push myself into a sitting position on Jons bed.

"What are we doing?" I ask him honestly "I am not a cheater and I mean yes maybe technically Darren and I have been on two dates but I could break things off." I look over at him and he is just looking at me so I keep going "Or I dont know maybe this is just a one night stand and you never want to do that again." taking a breath before continuing "Or is this some weird thing you and Darren do to try to coerce women into a threesom?" and now I cant stop "because that would be very not nice considering wha-" Jon moves then and his hand is covering my mouth. "Alice can you stop talking for just a moment." I nod and he removes his hand from my mouth. "I dont really know what your plan is with Darren but I feel that should ultimately be up to you." He looks at me "I feel that I should mention my current feelings on the matter, I dont really want this to be a one night stand but I am also not sure if I am looking for a girlfriend." I press my lips into a line when he says this, and he continues "However I cant deny that there is clearly something between us so I would be willing to explore this more if you are." He is giving me a hopeful smile. How do I feel? Do I even really know this guy? Oh my god, do I even know this god? I mean guy. He had asked me all those questions about my life but I hadn't really asked him any about himself. I just knew he felt right and I don't even know how to understand that.

"Do you have any siblings?" I ask him veering off topic

A wide grin covers his face as he replies "I have a younger brother and an older brother."

"You're the middle child that makes so much sense" I retort

"What do you mean that makes so much sense! I do not have middle child energy" he says defensively. "Oh I'm sorry did I just hit a nerve, whens your birthday are you a Pisces?" I say jokingly back to him. "I am an Aquarius actually," he says matter o factly "My birthday is January 10th." I look at him dumbfounded before breaking out into a fit of giggles. He is staring at me horrifically when I am finally able to open my eyes and the look on his face just sends me back down into the giggle fit. It takes me about 3 minutes before I finally compose myself and he asks "what is so god damn funny!" "You are not an aquarius you are a capricorn." he looks confused "What are you talking about I am an Aquarius" "No Aquarius doesnt start until January 19th." He looks at me puzzled "No shit." he says accepting this fact. "Everyone always just told me I was an Aquarius. Also how the hell do you just know the dates off the top of your head?" I blush a little at this question, I had let my geek flood out a little bit with that one. "I like astrology and tarot readings," I tell him "And crystals, not that I think that they will give me magical powers but because I think they help me manifest what I want for my future." When I look back at Jon he is looking with a cheeky grin "I new you used some magic spell on me" he says mater o factly and I roll my eyes at him. "You are a dork and love potions don't exist," I retort. I assume he is going to make fun of me but again he surprises me by saying "I have never had my tarot read before maybe you can give me a reading sometime?" I light up at this I dont always get the opportunity to try reading other people. "I would love too!" I grab my phone and hand it to him "give me your number and we can set something up." He takes my phone a slow smile spreading across his face "that was pretty smooth asking for my number like that." He is full smirk now and I can feel my cheeks turning pink "I mean you- I - uh - I just thought it would be a good idea is all." I say quickly "since we are kind of friends now at the very least." I feel his lips touch mine and it surprises me for a moment before I sink into the kiss. "I think we are a little more than friends."
