The Other Team

mario kart

Just then Jane pops up behind will. "hey whats going on.."  Jane awkwardly asks me and will, looking in between both of us. "Oh, nothing just talking. Right max?" he looks at me. "yep! just talking" I say to Jane but she doesn't look convinced. But will says good night to Jane. Then he goes to his room for the final time. By now I'm sitting back on her bed but on top of the covers. "why do you always have your hair in two braids." Jane asks as she gets on the bed with me holding two switch controllers. "I don't know, i just started wearing them after billy died." i replied while Jane handed me a controller. "well, i think you look better with your hair down" Jane softly says. A slight blush creeps onto my face, "what's the controller for" I grab the controller out of her hand. 

"you know how mario kart was like your favorite game. I bought on my switch a while back." Jane says while turning the channel so the switch connected to the tv. "Awww, Jane. That's so nice of you" I say as I turn towards her. She smiles, "well, do you wanna play or are you just gonna stare at me" she says while giggling slightly and I turn back to the tv. "yeah i wanna play."

5 minutes later

"how in the hell do keep beating me?" Jane tosses the controller on the bed, and i laugh. "well if it does make you feel better I haven't played in over two years" I say to Jane smugly. "how is that supposed to make me feel better?" Jane asks. "There, there" I pat her shoulder jokingly. We were now laying on the bed facing the ceiling sitting in comfortable silence  'i really did miss you, max" Jane says softly. "i missed you too, Jane" I turned to her and she turned too.  We were laying on our sides just smiling at each other. Now I had noticed all the perfect things about her face. Her deep brown eyes, pink lips, that one strand of hair that was on her face. I lean my hand over to her face to brush way the strand of shoulder length hair and tuck it behind her ear. I notice a slight blush creeps up on her face. I look back down at her lip and just how I could lean in right now and kiss her. 

Then Jane's eyes flicker too my lips, and then she's leaning in and I am too. 

Our lips were so close i could feel her breath on my lips. But the door opens. It's not will, this Time it's joyce. We sit up abruptly scooting away from each other. Joyce has a surprised look on her face. Probably either from me being here or she walked in on us about to kiss. 

"Oh, hello max? I brought home some.. pizza, if you want any. You too max, if you want.. any." Joyce trails off, me and Jane are looking back and forth at each other. Taking quick glances at each other. "Cool... i'll be down in a minute" Jane fumbled out her words. Joyce nods as she leaves the room. I looked down at my hand and it was on top of Janes and I move it before she can notice. 

It was too quiet in the room. But a little ding  broke that silence. We both look in the direction. "who is it" Jane asks as I grab my phone that was lying across the bed. Then look at the number then the text-

Clarissa

Where are you, can you come back to my house. I miss you. pleaseee

"shit" i say while getting up off of Janes bed. "it's Clarissa, she wants me to come back at her house" I say while walking towards the door. "what is she, your mom. You don't have to go back." Jane scoffed. I give her a look, "i can't just leave her hanging, she's my girlfriend." Jane's face dropped when I said she was my girlfriend. "Max, you could do way better then her" Jane argued. "why do you seem so against me having a girlfriend" I say. " whatever, it doesn't matter. you can go back. i guess" Jane muttered. "well, if it doesn't matter i'm gonna leave then. Thanks for washing my clothes" I say to her, walking out.
