call it what you want

Chapter 10

Jackson

It's finally the weekend and I'm about to head out to get something to eat.
I almost forget my keys before I open the door and so I turn back Into my room to grab them.

When I go to open the door, I take one step out before I'm shoved back into the apartment by hands around my shoulders and the door shutting suddenly in front of me.

"What the fuc—" I start to say whenever I look down and it's Ameeriah that just pushed me into the door with a panicked look on her face.

"Ryan's in the hallway," she says as I realize that she's still holding onto my shoulders and our bodies are touching.

"What? I'll just go tell him to—" I start but she cuts me off.
"No he didn't see me."

I'm confused.

"I was trying to cut through this building because it's raining outside but I saw him when I was walking in and so I was trying to rush to get to your door and you happened to have perfect timing so it just worked," she says quickly. "Sorry about that," she adds quietly.

I just let a laugh out my nose.
"Where were you headed?"
"Just to get some food," she responses.

"I haven't ate yet, that's where I was going too before I got trampled."
"Sorry," she drags out and I can't help but smile a little.

"You wanna order something? We can watch a movie."
"Dude what is it with you and movies? That's your go to."

I just scrunch my brows ever so slightly and put my tongue to the side of my mouth. Uh yeah, that's my go to, but I didn't know she actually payed attention.

"What's your favorite movie?" I ask as I walk over to sit on the couch and grab my phone to find something to door dash.
"Mhm, I'm not really a movie type of person," she says, which causes me to look up from my phone at her in disbelief.

"What the fuck do you mean you're not a movie person? That's like," I close my eyes for a second. "I'm gonna try and not be offended by that, fine yeah, okay, moving on."

She rolls her eyes.

"Then what's your favorite show?"
"Too many but WandaVision right now for sure."

"Oh my gosh I fucking love her," I exclaim.
"She's so hot too."
I nod my head because she definitely is.

"Okay what kinda food are you feeling?"
"Mhmm I don't know," she pauses. "What about Chipotle?"
"Yeah that's good with me."

We order the food and decide to watch Multiverse of Madness because Wanda's in it and it's a movie, so, best of both worlds.

We're both sitting on the couch and she's got her legs beside her and we eat our bowls.

We're about halfway through the movie and when I look over at her, I can't help but feel a really fucking weird warm? feeling in my chest.
Probably fucking guilt because Wes told me to stay away from her and he's gonna kick me ass if he finds out what we're doing.

I don't even realize what I'm saying until the words are coming out of my mouth.
"Do you think I'm like, a bad person?"

She turns her head quickly and gives me a confused look.
"Huh?"

I don't even know what the fuck response I want.
"What are you talking about dude?"

I sigh. "I don't know," I say as I rub my hands over my face. "Everyone just thinks I'm this shallow fucking douche. My own roommate, and best fucking friend by the way, thinks I'm a whore. He literally betted that I couldn't be celibate for a month. Like I justl," but then I just cut myself off with a sigh. "I don't know. It's not even like that, it's just," I pause for a second. "You know?"

She lets out a little laugh. "No I don't know."
Of course she doesn't. She's not a fucking man whore.

"But Jackson seriously," she continues. "No one thinks you're a douche. Like, literally no one dude. I haven't met a single person whose ever said anything even remotely bad about you."

She looks right into my eyes. "And yeah, maybe you were a bit of a.." She drifts off so I finish the sentence for her. "Whore."

"Yeah," she laughs. "But the only reason that people give you shit about it is because they know you're so much better than that."

I listen to her and we kinda pause for a little bit.

"I really like talking to you Ameeriah."
She smiles softly. "I like talking to you too Jackson."

Our focus is pulled away from each other as we hear keys jangling on the door.
And not just a little bit, it's like someone can't figure out how to get the keys to open the door.

We hear a little giggling from the outside of the door and Ameeriah turns back around to look at me.
"Who is that?" She mouths, and I just shrug my shoulders.

When they finally get the door open, I'm in amusement and shock whenever it's Adare and Wes mauling each other as they open the door.

They're too busy sucking face to see that there's anyone else in the apartment.
He's got her with her back against the door and I look at Ameeriah and she matches me expression of mouth wide open in shock as she puts her hand over her mouth to hold back her laugh as she sinks into the couch.

I cough to try and get them to break it the fuck up but they don't notice.
Ameeriah's giggling to herself as I cough again and Wes abruptly turns his head and is surprised to see us on the couch.

"Fuck, I," he clears his throat as his cheeks turn slightly pink. "Jackson I thought you were going home this weekend?"

"Plan changed."
Wes turns to face Adare, who's face is blood red, and stands in front of her while she fixes her shirt that dropped a little off her shoulder.

Ameeriah is still giggiling quietly before she finally sits up.
"Ameeriah?" Adare says.

And in the moment I kinda forgot that if they would have just walked in that they would have been extremely suspicious of us but I think they're took busy to fully notice.

"I thought you were over here so I was gonna come by to see if you wanted to go to dinner, but I see you made some other plans," she says as she tries to hold back her laughter.

Wes' frazzled hair is falling into his face as he tries to get some words out and we just watch him in amusement.

A normally very calm and put together Wes is scrambling to find words.
Adare has him fucked up.

"I think Max has a um," he swallows, "some type of like party thing going on right now, maybe you guys should uh," another gulp, "go check it out?"

I really just wanna see how far they can hold out so I decide to test them.
"Actually we were waiting on you guys to watch a movie. This one's perfect, it's about two hours long, you guys ready to sit and watch?"

Adare is still looking at the floor and Wes tries to steady his breath.

"We actually um," he pauses for a second to look at Adare. "We were planning watching a movie at Adare's dorm so yeah, uh, we're just gonna head back to her place," he says as he opens the door and puts his hand on the small of her back to lead her out of the room. "You guys enjoy that one we'll see you guys—" he says but is cut off by the slamming of the door.

"Good God those two are in heat," I say, and Ameeriah finally lets her laugher out by letting herself fall face first into the couch and we both just crack up.
