Teenage Fever // Jude Bellingham

25

"I just feel bad, you know." I sighed, kicking off my shoes before hanging up my jacket into the wardrobe next to the entry door.

"You shouldn't, what he said was such a stupid thing to say." Jude replied while doing the same as me. "And besides, he deserved it. He was acting like a dick the whole time."

"I know, but this isn't about him." I don't feel one ounce of regret for what I said, but i saw how embarrassed and disappointed Emma had looked. And it hurt, because she usually always hyped me up when I fucked guys over.

I sighed quietly as I made my way into the kitchen and retrieving a glass from the cupboard over the sink before filling it with tab water.

I didn't really know if she was genuinely angry at me or if she had just been frustrated with the whole situation. It had for sure been a uncomfortable experience for everyone, but I imagined that it had been the worst for her since it had been her idea and it was her 'boyfriend' that she had wanted to meet her friends.

I slightly jumped when I felt a pair of arms slowly sling around my waist; almost choking on my water by how caught off guard I was.

"You should get your mind off of it." Jude mumbled against the skin of my neck, his hot breath raising goosebumps. "You're like a sister to her, she'd choose you over him any day if it came down to it."

I put down the glass, relaxing slightly as I hadn't noticed how tense my body had been. The whole situation must've really stressed me out, and Jude had apparently seen that better than me.

His words did calm me down a bit, but I still couldn't help but feel that guilt and regret in the pit of my stomach.

Though he made sure to replace those with butterflies as he slowly kissed his way from below my ear to my collarbone.

I sighed, tilting my head sideways to give him a better access to my neck. His hands settled on my hips as he kept me close to him.

I had other plans through, turning around to grab his face and connecting his lips with mine. He inhaled sharply as he probably hadn't expected it, but kissed me back just as eagerly.

I had to suppress a smile when he slipped his tongue into my mouth, my arms slinging around his neck causing him to lift me up by the back of my thighs and setting me down on the counter behind me.

One of his hands was put on the surface of the counter next to me, while the other slid up my thigh as he now stood between my legs.

I broke the kiss to regain my breath, his lips occupying my neck again making me tilt it backwards so that it leaned against the cupboard.

I couldn't help but quietly whimper when I felt him suck at one spot on my skin, obviously wanting to leave a mark there.

"Jude..." I whispered breathlessly, hands tugging at the short hair at the nape of his neck to gain his attention.

He pulled back, his eyes flickering between mine as he waited for me to say something.

I didn't though, instead leaned forward to kiss him again, my hands sneaking beneath his sweatshirt to let my fingers trail across his abs.

I felt him shiver under my touch, smiling to myself in satisfaction before pulling back again to lean my forehead against his.

It was quiet for a few seconds, nothing but the sound of our heavy breaths filling the room as we tried to regain them.

"I want you to be mine, Tia." He suddenly blurted out in a whisper, making me pull back further to assure that I had heard right; though I could tell that I had by the look in his eyes.

"What?" I asked confusedly, which almost made it sound like i hadn't wanted to be with him since day one.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He repeated, this time clearer so that I couldn't deny what I had head anymore.

I broke out into a uncontrollable smile, my hands reaching up to cup his face.

"Took you long enough Bellingham." I teased, tilting my head sideways slightly before letting my hands sink to his shoulders to draw him closer, his arms finding their way around my waist as I brought him in to a hug.

"Just answer the question, will you?" He mumbled, making me laugh slightly.

"Yes." I replied softly, making him leave my embrace to look at me again.

"Yes?"

"No?"

"What?"

"Was 'yes' not the answer you wanted?" I asked with a cheeky smile, making him roll his eyes at me.

"I hoped for a little more enthusiasm." He complained, my smile growing wider with amusement before he pulled me in by his fingers on my jaw again, our lips reconnecting for the at least fifteenth time today; and yet, it still felt just as amazing as the first time we kissed about a month ago.

He gently grabbed one of my wrists, bringing it towards him to sling my arm around his neck. I immediately understood and let my other arm follow suit. As soon as I did that he picked me up by my thighs again, making me hook my legs around his waist as he started carrying me to his bedroom.

Ghosted y'all for a bit my bad
/ Also I know that this partly sounds as if he wants to take advantage of her especially with all the drama in the previous chapter, but by any means, if it sounds wrong it's because of my choice of words but it's not intentional - had to clear that up 🗣
