Jay drove me back.The drive was long, but I loved it. Alone with Jay felt like I was in a whole other world where everything revolved around us. When we got home, Beth was awake. She was sitting infront of the television, wide awake staring at it. Jordan was sitting there too on his computer, editing pictures.

"Hey. How was it?" He asked obnoxiously, still staring down at his computer. Jay just stood there, conflicted between his fiancé and his best friend. Jay tilted his head awkwardly and scratched his head. I pursed my lips and crossed my arms over my chest, waiting for Jay's reaction.

I scoffed when he did nothing. I stormed over to the couch, ripped the computer across the floor and picked up Beth. Jordan glared at me and stood up, screaming.
"What the fuck?! Jay, control your hoe man."
My eyes widened.

I passed Beth to Jay and once again he still stood there. I whispered under my breathe angrily to Jordan.
" I don't know what the actual fuck you think your saying, but I will have none of that shit under my roof." I shoved his chest and picked up his backpack, throwing it out the door behind home. I slammed the door and just stood there. Beth began whimpering. I snagged Beth from Jays arms. He tried to grab my arm but I stopped and glared at him. Jay backed away quickly, but still followed behind me

"Your unbelievable, Jay. Unbelievable!"
I yelled in anger.

He scoffed and laughed. "I'm unbelievable? No, Alexis. That's all you."
I angrily set Beth down on the bed, picked up and pillow and an blanket from the closet.

"Is the couch believable enough for ya?" I asked sarcastically. I slammed the door in his face and I could hear his big feet storm across the hall and into the living room. I sighed and removed my dress, pulling one of Jays tees and tight underwear. I crawled into bed and cuddled with Beth. She was already fast asleep, but I kept tossing and turning. Beth was a good cuddle buddy, but I needed something warm and cuddly and big. I needed Jay.

**
At 2:00 AM I couldn't take it anymore. I was getting sick without Jay. The house was quiet when I silently sneaked into the living room. He was fast asleep on the couch and a long blanket on him, shirtless. I crawled under the covers with him and wrapped my leg around the front of his hips. I was unsure if he was awake, but he rustled a bit. I looked up and stared at his beautiful face, until his eyes shot open. I blushed as he wrapped his arm around me and kissed my forehead. He held my tightly and finally, I felt warm again.
