A Twisted Love Story

∞ Chapter 14 ∞

I am an optimist, so I always see the good in situations, even if it's the worst thing ever. Cole and I, at this point were friend with benefits, which is good and bad. We broke up to work on our problems, we can't really do that when we mess around every chance we get. I can't lie, I like it though. I just don't know how to work on myself, like if you really try to do that it's hard. I asked Jamal for help, he helped me as much as he could but the rest was on me.

Its different from actually being with someone than just being friends with benefits. When you with them you think about them and imagine what it would be like years from now. When your friends with benefits, it's like whatever they do , you can't get mad because of the fact that y'all not together, so whatever you see you just have to suck it up.

School breezes by and before I know it, it's 2:40. I walk to my locker and put all my books in my book bag that I need for homework. Someone comes up behind me and wraps their hands around me.

Then they cover my eyes.

"Who is this?"

The person doesn't say anything. I turn so I can get out if their grip and look into the big brown orbs of Cole Douglas. I hit him playfully.

"You want to come with me?"

"Sure," I respond as I close my locker.

We walk to where we usually go. I climb the stairs slower than any other time because my legs are sore. I know what your thinking, it's not like that.

I sit down on the third step and he sits down beside me as always. I learn over and kiss his cheek.

"I love you," I whisper.

"I love you," he says back.

I scoot closer to him and lay my head on his shoulder as he wraps his arms around me. These are the moments that I love. Just to sit here with him and bask in the moment. He takes out his phone.

"Do you want to watch a movie love?"

I quickly debate in my head whether or not I wanted to. I did, but I also wanted to sleep, as you know I love sleep.

"Yes," I respond.

He goes to this website where you can watch any movie for free, even if it's in the theater.

"You pick the movie, no chick flicks."
I laugh. I should pick one just because free said not to. I take his phone. I type If I stay into the search bar, and click play. I got up and sat on his lap so that I wouldn't be uncomfortable.

We only got to watch fifteen minutes if it because the bell rang, signaling the end of tutoring period. I got up about to walk away, when he grabbed me and pulled me in for a deep kiss. I hated to break it but I had to if I was going to get a seat on the bus, or even make it.

When I got home, I did my homework. When I finished I made a pros and cons list of being with someone and being friends with benefits. It went like this:
