can't be friends

safety net - 6

Emily's POV

Everything with me and JJ has been so amazing. We still haven't told any of our friends and I feel like that's why things have been so good. Elle can be very judgy and nosey at times so I would just prefer we keep this to ourselves for now.

JJ's at practice and I'm in our room studying. I feel like I've been studying for years. I haven't seen her since we left for classes this morning.

The doorknob jiggles and JJ walks through the door. "Hi gorgeous." She smiles and sits down on my bed giving me a kiss. "I missed you." I pull her into a hug.

"I missed you more. But No cuddle time yet. I have to go shower I feel gross." "I don't care." I place kisses all over her face. "Let me shower really quick I'll be back." She gets up and goes to get changed.

"Can we push our beds together?" I ask. "Aw yeah. We could rearrange our whole room! Wait til I get back!" She says and I nod.

After about 20 minutes she comes back into the room with a towel on and lets her wet hair down. Going to dry it. Shes so beautiful.

"You're staring." She says. "How can I not."

I imagine kissing every inch of her beautiful body and doing much more things that I probably shouldn't think about yet.

I try to snap out of it by coming up with a way to change our room.

"Okay so what if we turn your bed against the window, move my bed next to yours. I can keep my dressers below my bed but we can move your dressers in the corner infront of the bed. I can move my desk over and we push yours next to mine, and then we can have a night stand next to the bed and extra room."

"That works!" She says. "But we don't have queen sized sheets." I say. "Actually we do." She says and throws me queen sized sheets from her closet. "Did you just order these?" I ask. "Yeah a few days ago. I knew it would happen eventually." She says and I can't help but smile.

Everything this girl does just makes me smile like a love struck maniac.

She gets dressed and we get to moving our whole entire room around.

We finished 20 minutes later and got the new sheets on the bed. We have to order a comforter but for now we just have both of our comforters on the bed with all of our pillow and JJ's many stuffed animals. And my bear princess of course.

"Yay." JJ gives me a hug and we lay down on the bed. "Wait I just realized we can't have people in our room because then they would know." I say. "Know what?" JJ asks. "That we're together." I say. "Yeah you're right."

"We haven't even put a label on things yet. I don't want them to be all up in our business yet. I like how things are now." I say. "When are we gonna put a label on things?" She asks. "Well I want to ask you in a cute way." "Hold on. What if I wanted to ask you?" She sits up.

"No baby I'm asking you." I say. "Okay but like it's just the fact that I wanted to ask you in a cute way Em." "Oh well get over it I'm asking you in a cute." I say. "Not if I ask you first." JJ says. "I promise you, you won't." "Yeah?" JJ says. "JJ let me ask you." "Nope. Will you be my girlfriend?" JJ says and I drop my jaw.

"You're sick." I laugh. "I'm waiting." She says batting her eyelashes. "Well will you be my girlfriend?" I ask, crossing my arms.

"Not until you answer my question first, I asked if you'll be my girlfriend?" She says. "Okay well you need to answer my question first. Will you be my girlfriend." I say. This can go on for a long time.

"I'm not answering that until you answer my question so will you be my girlfriend." She says. She's not winning this.

I sit up and pull her up and into a tight embrace, my arms wrapped around her and her legs straddling me. I got lost in her beautiful blue eyes, almost forgetting why I did this. I bring our faces close and she leans in for a kiss.

Just before our lips connect I gently stop her. "Be my girlfriend." I whisper softly. I could tell that she wanted this, us, so badly that she was about to give up her fight of asking me.

She looks into my eyes and back down to my lips. Then again into my eyes. "Is that a question or are you telling me?" She says quietly. "Whichever one makes you all mine. Your pick." I raise my eyebrows, slipping my hand underneath her shirt, running my fingers along her bare back. "Then I'm all yours. But you already knew that." She takes my face into her hands and caresses my cheeks with her soft thumbs.

"Kiss me." I exhale. "Anything for my girlfriend." She wastes no time bringing our lips together that I almost fell backwards onto the bed.

I bite her lip softly as her arms fly around my neck and I lay her down at the front of the bed, and I get on top of her. Her legs wrap around my torso as we got so very lost in this kiss.

Our hands roaming each others bodies. The taste of her lips on mine. Nothing else mattered. She was all mine. It might not have been the way I wanted to ask her but it doesn't even matter. All that matters is that she's mine.

Her hands move underneath my baby tee, roaming my skin and I let go of our kiss, to bring my attention towards her jawline, and then towards her neck. I kiss around trying to find a sweet spot out of her. I kiss the corner, basically the very top of her neck and I small noise escapes from her mouth.

Found it.

I start to suck lightly on that spot and her breath gets heavier and heavier. "Do you like that?" I ask. "Yes." She says but it comes out as more of a gasp. And I keep going, sucking on and around the same spot and then switching to the other side and giving it the same attention.

"Em." She moans, resting her palm on my head. . I need to hear 1 million more of those right this moment.

"Em I think we should stop." She says in one whole breath; almost like she was out of air. "What's wrong?" I look up at her. "Nothing... uh... it's just that- for lack of better words... I don't know how to say this." She looks away. "You can tell me anything. I could never judge you."

There's a look in her eyes that I've yet to see before. It's not sadness, it's not happy or anger. It almost looks like lust. I never thought those blue eyes could turn dark so easily.

"I want you to keep going but I don't think we should." She said between breathes. "Talk to me." I kiss her along her jawline, landing on a point and bringing that area of skin between my lips.

"Em if we keep going I'm gonna give up all self control and composure and let you do a lot of things to me that I really think we should wait for." JJ says.

I look up at her and smirk. "Yes ma'am." I say, placing a kiss on her lips and pulling away. I could tell she wanted more. But she was right. I felt the same exact way.

I lay down on the bed next to her and take her into my arms. "You're my girlfriend." She smiles. "And you're my girlfriend." I play with her hair.
