call it what you want

Chapter 35

Ameeriah

"Yours is Jonas right?" Adare asks me, referring to my last name, as we sit on the couch while Wes and Jackson are making pasta in the kitchen.
"Yeah," I say.

"Wait who's Jonas?" Jackson perks up from the kitchen.
"Ameeriah's last name," Adare replies back.
"Wait like the JoBros?" He exclaims with wide eyes and a smile.
"Exactly like the JoBros!" I laugh.

I smell the aura of fettuccine alfredo coming the kitchen and I guess Adare does too. "When's that gonna be done?" She asks.

"If Jackson would hurry the fuck up with the garlic bread then we could eat," Wes pipes in.
"Fuck you." Jackson opens the oven. "Bon appétit bitch," he says as he looks at Wes and puts the pan on the counter.

We get off the couch and walk over to the kitchen where there's fettuccine alfredo with chicken and garlic bread. It smells so good.
Jackson and Wes are both in sweatpants and t-shirts and Jackson has a rag laid over his shoulder.

Wes walks over to the fridge and grabs two waters for him and Adare. "Ameeriah do you want anything?"
I ask for a water when I hear Jackson a few feet away.
"Aren't you gonna ask me?" Jackson says to Wes.
"Get it yourself," he says as he lets the fridge door shut.

Adare is standing by Wes on the other side of the kitchen while Jackson and I plate our food.
"You look hot in the kitchen," Adare whispers to Wes, not meaning for anyone to hear her.

"Oh my gosh gag," Jackson rolls his eyes.
I look up at Jackson beside me. "You look hot too," I whisper ever so quietly as I smirk and turn to walk to away.

We sit on the couch and Jackson grabs the remote from Wes. "What are we thinking? Action? Rom Com? Comedy?"
"Just pick something," Wes says.

We decide on Twilight and twenty minutes in, me, Adare, and Jackson are all enthralled in the movie while Wes couldn't look more uninterested. Jackson has his arm around me and he's ever so gently and lightly playing with a strand of my hair.

Jackson's love language is most definitely touch. In the two weeks that we've been together, if he can have an arm around me or a hand touching me, it's there.

Jackson

I didn't realize I was falling asleep until I wake up to the tv glowing softly in the dark apartment.
I glance to the other side of the couch to see that Adare and Wes must have gone to sleep.

Looking down at Ameeriah, who's head is on my chest, I get up softly.
"Meeriah let's go to bed baby," I whisper as I gently shake her a little to wake her.

She stirs as she rubs her eyes. "Huh?" She mumbles.
"We fell asleep," I whisper.
"Oh." She gets up and we walk to my room and I shut the door.

We climb into bed and I pull Ameeriah into me. "I'm cold," she mumbles as she places her feet onto me and I jump back.
"Get your cold fucking feet off of me," I laugh and she places then back onto me.

It's quiet for a second before she whispers to break the silence. "Have you talked to your sisters lately?"
"Yeah," I sigh.

This divorce thing has been so hard on my sisters. And that was before we found out about the cheating. Every time I'm reminded of it, I feel the knife get shoved back into my chest.

"Things are just..fucked. I don't know how to even deal with it," I finish.
"Have you talked to your mom?"
"I think she's doing a little better, at least from what she's told me."

We sit in a comfortable silence before I feel Ameeriah's breathing get a little slower and steady.
She must have fell asleep, so I lean my head into her, with my arms wrapped around her, and breathe in her hair.
I smell strawberries and cream as I drift off to sleep.
