Jevon Enemies To Lovers - (Jake Wheeler x Devon Evans) // (BXB)

Reticence

JAKE

We had just entered the store after smoking another one. It's safe to say; I'm fucked.

Devon headed in first and I was following him, keeping my eyes to the ground because I could feel how red they were.

I followed him all the way to the chocolate aisle. When I turned around I noticed Elliot and Lexy were gone.

Jake : Where's half our troop gone?

Devon didn't respond, I looked back at him and he was reading a leaflet or something. He seemed so focussed on it, like he would read every word over and over.

Jake : what is that?..

He looked at his surroundings with fear on his face as he practically threw the leaflet back into the box and sped off.

I followed him but looked over to the leaflets first; "Nearly 30 million Americans suffer from an Eating Disorder, do you?".

I sad look overcame my face as I caught up to him, he practically ran.

When I found him, he was with Lexy and Elliot. Lexy had a shopping cart and Elliot was inside it. Devon began hysterically laughing at the sight as he ran over to the carts and grabbed one, looking at me before saying:

Devon : C'mon, get in!

I laughed and complied. I was laughing as Devon sped off away with me. We were laughing and running, passing every aisle in a blurred haste. It felt so weird, like I wasn't moving but the rest of the world was. I felt at peace. Maybe I had just smoked too much.

Jake : OKAY! OKAY! STOPP PFTT!

Devon ran me back over to Lexy and Elliot, who were shoplifting.

Elliot : You getting anything?

Devon nodded, grabbing a big bar of chocolate and walking away as he slipped it into his hoodie's front pocket.

I didn't want to steal nor buy anything. The entire night I had the vibe that Devon had something he wanted to say to me. He would avoid my eyes, try and be the furthest from me, I don't know at this point. I can just feel tension building up.

I got out of the cart and began walking towards the exit for some fresh air. Less than a minute later, Devon came outside.

I was staring at him with sentences on the tip of my tongue.

Devon : What?

Jake : What?!

Devon : You're just staring at me with zero relent!

Jake : Ugh! You've been avoiding me!

His face flushed red.

Devon : Why would I-

Jake : You tell me. Why are you avoiding me?!

Devon : Jake...

His tone completely flipped from agitated and frustrated to a soft-spoken melancholy.

Devon : can we please just... talk for a minute.

He sat down, leaning against the building. I reciprocated the action and looked off to the yellowy-blue hued skies.

Devon : I just feel like every interaction we have either leads to arguing or sex.

Jake : I don't mind the sex.

I said with a smirk.

Devon : oh trust me, neither do I. But it's just like, we can't want to have sex all the time.

Jake : I actually wouldn't have sex with you at the minute though.

Devon looked at me like that was a challenge. He placed a hand on the inside of my thigh, opening my knees as his hand traced further.

I slapped it away just before it touched anything.

Devon : See?

Jake : Dev, I'm not being funny, all I have to do is look at you to give you a boner.

He rolled his eyes.

I placed a hand up his shirt and caressed his chest but then I moved it down and started to pull on his waistband and Devon was red in the face.

I moved over and sat on his lap, facing him and locking our eyes.

Devon : See what I mean? You're such a good little slut for me.

Jake : Or maybe I'm just stoned.

Devon : We're all just stoned.

Jake : See, so none of our actions can be held accountable. So do anything you'd want.

Me and Devon are in the back of an uber, figuring we might as well go home together since we live so close.

Devon and I hadn't exchanged a word.

Driver : So where y'alls going?

Jake : Home.

Driver : Ah. Ya' brothers?

Devon : No we're-

Jake : We're just friends.

Devon shot me a look for a second and then realised that... we were just friends.

Driver : Then why in hell has it been so goddamn awkward back there?

Neither of us answered.

The driver laughed to himself.

Driver : Whatever y'all say.

We finally entered our street and got out of the car as Devon handed him the money.

I turned to go home but Devon grabbed my wrist, turning me around.

Devon : Where are you going?

Jake : Home?

Devon : Oh. I thought you were coming over for a bit.

Jake : and why would I come over without an invite?

Devon : Here's your invite.

I gave him a skeptical look.

Jake : What are we gonna do?

Devon : I dunno... what do you wanna do?

I rolled my eyes, grabbed Devon's hand and walked towards his house.
