Just Friends

Pov Sage

"Mom, I'm home!" I shout through the house. I close the door behind me and throw my keys on a cupboard.

No reaction

Hmm maybe she's already gone to bed. Hopefully I didn't wake her up. I walk into the living room. Urgh, that dress is starting to feel really awkward. I pull a little on the dress here and there and walk to the kitchen. Only there is a surprise waiting there that I wasn't expecting.

Axel.

"Listen Sage. I'm sorry I called you my classmate," he says and jumps off the counter.

"That doesn't answer my question," I mutter stubbornly.

"It doesn't matter, what matters is that I'm sorry. I should have just said you were my girlfriend," he says.

"Used to be?" I interrupt him.

"Bent," he corrected himself, graying.

"Look, that sounds much better," I mumble.

He grabs my hands and takes a step closer to me. "Please Sage. I love you," he smiles at me.

"I love myself too," I chuckle.

"You usually say that you love me too," Axel laughs and puts his hands on my hips.

"That's what I said," I chuckle.

Axel shakes his head, laughing. I smile at him. He looks straight at me. "Shall we go upstairs?" he asks. I nod half absently.

Axel presses his lips roughly to mine. He pushes me against the now closed door. I kiss him back. His hands go to my back. To the zipper of my dress. In no time that thing will be back on the ground. Hmm that went much faster than expected. I expected to have been messing around with that for another half hour. I probably would have just gone to sleep in my dress and asked Mom for help in the morning.

I'm startled from my thoughts when I notice Axel placing a hickey on my neck. A moan escapes my mouth. He takes off his jacket and loosens his tie. I undo the buttons on his blouse, which he also has off. I press my lips to his again. I jump into his arms. He picks me up and walks to the bed. He puts me down and hovers over me. I'm just about to press my lips to his again when I hear someone cough uncomfortably.

My eyes dart to where the coughing is coming from. Meri is sitting on my office chair, grinning at us.

"I thought I would intervene before I had to look at this right away," he chuckles. "Dude, just leave," Axel shouts and pulls on a shirt from Meri, which he once left here, off the ground..

"No, I've decided that I want to sleep with Sage tonight," he says, standing up as if you were Julius Caesar. Oh wait, completely forgot about shit. I'm lying here in my underwear. I quickly crawl under the covers.

"She's my girlfriend," Axel hisses.

"Bro I don't feel like doing this," Meri sighs and points from him to Axel.

Axel looks at him angrily and I just feel a bit uncomfortable here.

Axel's whistle from WhatsApp suddenly works. He takes out his phone. He looks a bit strangely at his phone.

"Eey Axel we were talking, do you remember or do you suffer from amnesia," Meri chuckles. "Uhm, I have to go," Axel says quickly. He quickly packs his things and disappears.

"Well that was ummm," I mumble.

"Awkward, hits like a kiss," Meri chuckles.

"But I decided to sleep here," Meri smiles at me. I chuckle. "Then I'm going to put on my pajamas first."

"Nope, just put on my shirt," Meri chuckles. He pulls his shirt over his head. His six-pack appears. I immediately feel warm inside. What do I have today?

I've seen him shirtless many times before when we slept together. Only I never had this feeling. Hoping he doesn't see it, I grab his shirt from the bed and try to put it on under the covers.

"Sage, I've seen you in just underwear before," Meri laughs.

"No shit Sherlock," I mumble. I sit up uncomfortably. I pull his shirt over my head as quickly as I can.

Meri takes off his pants too and lies down next to me in bed. I lie down against him and put my hand on his chest.

"Sage," he mumbles.

"Hmm," I answer sleepily.

"Would you really have done it if I hadn't been there?" he asks.

"I don't know," I say with a kind of scared tone that I just didn't have.

"Eyy don't do it if you don't want to," Meri says and looks at me worriedly.

I swallow and nod once. Meri is always nice to me. I press a kiss on his cheek and lie back on his chest.

"What was that?" I hear him say, almost grinning.

"Shh, I'm going to sleep," I say with blood red cheeks.

"Trusten Sage," I hear him say.

"Good night Meri," I mumble. Meri presses a kiss to my hair and I fall asleep.
