Along the Grapevine

"So did you fuck?" Sadie asked, plopping herself down on the couch next to Y/n.

"No." Y/n said, reaching out to grab the bowl of popcorn from her.

"Are you lying?" Sadie said with an accusatory tone.

"Why would I lie about that?" Y/n defended, grabbing a handful of popcorn and shoving it in her mouth.

"Okay, what did you do then?"

"He tried to open the door and it was locked, so we just kinda made out against the door for a bit. Once we took a second to breathe we realized what we were doing and just kinda stopped."

"Did you at least like it?"

"I— am still undecided on that."

"Was he better or worse than the mystery man from a couple weeks ago?"

"Oh— uh— it's a bit hard to compare to be honest."

"Oh, they're that similar?"

"Kind of— but not at the same time— I mean, I've fucked the mystery man multiple times, but with Jake it was—" She struggled to find the right word to describe it.

"Still good?"

"Yeah, it really was."

"What was the best part?"

"Wouldn't you like to know."

"I would, yes. So please, elaborate."

"I think I'd rather leave that to your imagination."

"You're not getting out of this that easily. Was there any over-the-clothes action?"

Y/n looked over at Sadie, shoving another handful of popcorn in her mouth and grabbing the remote to pick a movie.

"I'll take that as a yes then. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself."

The two sat in silence, watching the baking show Y/n had chosen.

They got two episodes in when her phone buzzed on the arm of her seat. Sadie's head spun at the speed of light when she heard. Y/n snatched the phone before Sadie had the chance to launch herself at her phone.

"I bet it's Jake. He probably wants to take it further." Sadie said, wiggling her eyebrows.

Y/n rolled her eyes, standing from her spot on the couch and walking into her room.

Josh: My place. Rn

Y/n: You think you can control me? With the snap of your fingers and I'll do whatever the fuck you want?

Josh: You doing something more important?

Y/n: Yes actually.

Josh: Yeah, I'm sure watching a bunch of idiots making bread is the most entertaining thing you can do right now.

Y/n: What the fuck? How the hell would you even know that?

Josh: Sadie won't leave me alone. Felt the need to inform me about all of the fun things you two have done today

Y/n: Seems like that's something the two of you have in common. Won't leave people who aren't interested alone.

Y/n threw her phone onto her bed, sitting at her desk. She sat and stared out her window for a few minutes before she heard her phone begin to ring.

"Hello?"

The heavy breathing on the other side of the line made her squint, pulling her phone away from her face to see who it was.
