Abnegation : Jevon Enemies to Lovers - Jake Wheeler x Devon Evans // (BXB)

Isolation (part 2)

DEVONS POV -

We had been making out for a while, taking short breaks to breathe.

You know what, I think he might just be right. Maybe friends don't do this.

Devon : Hey, maybe we should hit pause for a minute.

I said panting.

He nodded in agreement.

Jake : You know, for an innocent little school-boy, you're one hell of a kisser.

Devon : Thank you? You're not too bad yourself.

He rolled his eyes in a joking manner.

Jake : So I've been told.

I wonder how many guys he's had do that to him? At first I'm envious but then I realise I just had my tongue down his throat. EW!

Wait... he's probably had worse down his throat. WHY WOULD I MAKE OUT WITH A WELL-KNOWN COCKSUCKER?!

I laugh at my own stupid thoughts.

Jake : What?

Devon : Nothing.

Jake : Well we still have two hours to kill, what do you wanna do?

Devon : We could... talk.

Jake : What do you wanna talk about?

I jumped onto the table sitting next to him.

I think back to the question I asked myself this morning. "Do I even like him?" finding my answer.

Devon : I wanted to tell you... I like you.

I took his hand, intertwining our fingers.

He looked at me estranged, like it was foreign to him.

Devon : Not your body, not your... skills, you.

He looked upset and in disbelief.

Maybe this was too soon?

He tried to hide his face and the tears forming in his eyes.

I put my arm around him and held him close.

Devon : We have an hour until lunch, they have to let us out for lunch.

Jake composed himself.

Jake : Sorry, I uh got something in my eye, I'm all good now.

He sniffled.

Devon : I'm sorry if I'm making you upset-

Jake : No, you're not. You're doing the exact opposite.

We sat together in silence until Lunch. The headmaster came and opened the doors.

Me and Jake pretended to still detest each other.

Devon : You apologise first!

Jake : You apologise first!

She sighed.

Headmaster : Ahem! Boys! Go to your dinner hall.

We both walked out with pissed off expressions.

She returned to her office.

Devon : Jake, do we pretend to hate each other in front of our friends?

Jake : I think we should for now, at least until we figure out a way to tell them.

Devon : But would we tell them? That we're friends, make-out buddies-

Jake : I don't know. But we have all the time in the world to figure that out.
