Best Friends With Benefits

Chapter Ten

Jeremy

I walk into Nick's house. I thought I was early getting here thirty minutes before he asked me to but no as soon as I walked in it reeked of booze and smoke. Music blasting so loud you could hear it from a mile away.

"Hey Jeremy you made it," Alex said putting his hands up to give me a handshake. "Cold today huh?" He said dropping his hands when I didn't shake his hand.

I rolled my eyes and scanned around. "Where's Nick?" Alex scoffed and shook his head. "What am I not enough?" Alex said leaving me slightly annoyed.

"No." I deadpanned.

"Upstairs, by himself." Alex said, I walked past him and knocked on his door at first nobody answered but when I knocked again I heard a quiet 'what'.

"It's me." I whispered, shortly after the door opened. Nick was standing at the doorframe with a pissed face. "What happened you okay?"

"What are you talking a-about I'm okay." Nick slurred he was clearly drunk. "Come inside Jeremy I been waiting for you forever."

I give him a weird look. The last time he was drunk like this we had sex. But luckily this time I'm not drunk as well.

"What do you mean?" I ask, staring Nick in the eye trying to read his thoughts.

Nick stopped for a moment before cracking a smile. "I mean I missed you baby." Nick said. I looked up at him not sure if he was joking or not and shook my head.

"Nick what are you talking about?" Nick ignores my question and gets a beer from his mini fridge before sitting down on his bed.

"Doesn't matter does it?" Nick said taking a few sips from his drink before patting next to a spot next to him. "Come sit down."

I hesitated for a moment before sitting down next to him. "Nick, what's wrong with you today?" Nick smirked and looked at me I stared at his expression as he scanned my face before lowering his gaze to my lips.

"Nick." I shouted he chuckled and looked at me more intensely. "What's the matter Jeremy? I'm not doing anything wrong nothing is wrong with looking."

"I can't do this Nick." I got up but a second after a strong force pulled me down. Nick got on top of me pinning down on his mattress.

"Jeremy what can't you do?" Nick said I looked deeply in his eyes they were watering. I froze. Why is he crying?

"Nick I have to go I can't talk to you like this." I mumble pushing him off of me and leaving the party.
