JULES POV
I've had fun at the lake house this week.
It's been fun jet skiing, driving around the lake, sleeping next to Lukas, and hanging out with my friends.
I know once I get back home I'm going to have to start packing up and shopping for college. I'm excited to get new stuff but I'm not excited to pack up the old stuff.
"Psst," I hear a voice between the crack in the door. I turn around to find Kiara and Faye sharing the same expression on their faces.
"What do y'all want?" I mutter, looking between the two of them.
"To talk," Kiara states. "About last night."
I completely forgot about what I did.. oops!
I don't dare to fight them on this and I follow the two as they lead me into the empty living room. Faye and Kiara place themselves on the couch and I opt for sitting on the ottoman in front of them. I know I'm about to feel like I'm a prisoner at court and they're the judges asking the questions.
"Speak," Faye announces with a cocked brow. Where am I supposed to start?
"What do you want to know?" I finally ask. I can't read their minds and I'd rather answer any questions now than later.
"Hmm.. when did you two make it official?" Kiara starts. She gazes me up and down and crosses her arms. Someone's taking this a little too seriously..
"A little over a month ago," I admit. I feel like a little kid who got in trouble with their parents.
"And you didn't think to tell us!" Kiara quickly chimes.
"I didn't think it was important!" I lie. The real answer is the fact that I didn't want something like this to happen.
"Having your first real boyfriend is important! Especially if your first real boyfriend is the guy you've hated since diapers!" Faye buds in. I can tell she's slightly hurt that I didn't even tell her since I tell her almost everything.
"Speaking of, what's the deal with that? I know you told us about you two kissing but when did the hatred go away?" Kiara adds.
"To be honest, around Christmas. Something changed between us and I was just scared of acting on it but I'm glad I finally did," I explain all at once. Christmas was the first time we kissed but the first seven minutes in heaven was when everything changed between us.
"I feel like I don't know anything," Kiara admits as defeat. She leans into the couch and adjusts her clothes.
"Me too," Faye states, micking Kiara's movements.
"Then ask!" I announce. If they're going to make me sit here like a court case then they might as well get information out of me.
"When were you planning on telling us?" Faye quickly questions and it takes me back. To be honest.. never! Not until you got a wedding invitation or read my obituary.
"Soon," I lie with a soft smile. I know Faye doesn't believe me but she doesn't insist on any more questions.
"You two look happy together," Kiara mentions with a bright smile. I know Kiara is ecstatic about this because she's been trying to get us together since day one.
"I am happy. He makes me feel safe and comfortable and loved and it makes me want to run around and giggle," I admit as I lean back on the small cushion.
"Aww," Faye mumbles. "I wish I had something like that."
"You do have something like that. You have Alex and you two are as coupley it can get," Kiara spits back.
