Seven Minutes in Heaven ✗ jimmy fallon

2. Forgive Me

The next morning

"Good morning guys," I croaked to Parker and my mother.

"Hi sweetheart," My mother said, a sizzle sounding from the pan. She was making eggs.

I sat at the dining table next to Parker, who was jerking and turning while he played a game on his phone.

My phone buzzed in the pocket of my plaid pajama pants. I pulled it out and looked at the text. I was in a group chat with Marion and Daniella. Marion said:

OMG WHAT IN THE NAME OF NOEL PELLETIER WERE U DOING WITH JIMMY IN SEVEN MINUTES OF HEAVEN

I looked around, making sure nobody saw the text (I didn't want anyone to know James and I had "sex" during seven minutes of heaven).

Here's the group chat:

Me: Nothing.

Marion: I object.

Me: We did nothing.

Daniella: You guys were so banging, don't even deny it.

I quickly turned off my phone as my mother set a plate of eggs and sausages in front of me.

"Thanks," I mumbled, then started to eat.

My phone was nonstop buzzing. Daniella and Marion were freaking out because they think James (everyone calls him Jimmy, but I call him James for some reason) and I were banging.

I quickly texted back:

Stop it.

They stopped texting after I said that.

I finished up my breakfast, then brought it to the sink, rinsed the plate off, and put it into the dishwasher.

I grabbed my phone and raced back upstairs to my room.

I wasn't sure if I should just confess that we didn't actually go to second base during seven minutes in heaven, or to just pretend that we did.

I pulled up the conversation, and then it said someone had joined the chat.

And then Marion said:

JAMES DID U AND NOEL BANG

Here was our full conversation:

James: Yes

Marion: OMG I WANT DETAILS NOW

I clenched my jaw. He's probably just tagging along the lie.

James: Nooo

Daniella: I heard u guys in there u guys were so banging

James: Alright then

Marion: Did u guys climax because I didn't hear it

Me: None of your shitwax

James: Shitwax?

Me: Yes

Marion: If you guys could describe it in one word, what would it be

James: Magical

Daniella: Cuties. <3

The chat was silent. I clicked on James's contact on the list of people in the group chat, my thumb hovering over the call button. I finally got the nerve to call him.

He answered within two rings: "Hello?" Said his husky voice on the other line.

"Hi," I murmured.
