Friends with benefits

Chapter 6

I wake up, now in a dream, reality. Gilinsky's arms are still around me, the blanket lays over our bodies, and our breathing is calm. Without waking him, I reach for my phone on the ground and check the time; 8:27AM. Damn.

I turn my body around so that I'm facing him. He looks so peaceful. I put my hands through his hair and kiss his forehead. I slowly remove myself from underneath the blanket and put my clothes on.

I've slept over Jack's house plenty of times, once by myself because Sammy got sick when we were younger and had to go home.

I go to the kitchen and get some water, my mouth is dry as shit. I sit at the breakfast bar and scroll through Instagram and Twitter. Nothing really interests me other than a tweet i saw from Johnson.

@JackJackJohnson: HYFR

I favorite the tweet and smile. He's a good friend... and so is Gilinsky. Shit. I hear Jack from the living room, and then it hits me.

Shit, are his parents home. I silently rush to the front door and look out the side windows looking for cars. None. I wouldn't mind if his parents saw me, I would mind if they saw me sleeping body to body on the same couch as him though.

I go back into the living room and see him still asleep. To or to not wake him up. It takes me a minute to think it through, and when I'm done thinking, I wake him up.

"WAKE UPPPPPP," I scream. He jerks his body up like something's happening.

"NICOLETTE NO, I WANT TO SLEEP," He says.

Nicolette. There we go again.

Since it's Tuesday, I guess we're skipping school. None of my friends usually come to school on a Tuesday for some odd reason, we usually all hangout.

I hand Jack his phone and sit at the end of his couch looking out the window.

"What's wrong?" He asks.
"Uh-n-nothing," I say. Of course something's wrong. I'm scared of going home. After my dream last night, I don't want to go home. I don't want to go home and pretend like that dream didn't happen. I also don't want to face Sam. Ew, my own brother wants to have sex with me or something.

He raises his eyebrows and opens his mouth like he's going to say something, but nothing comes out. "Do you want to talk about it?" It finally comes out. He asks to talk about it.

I look back at him and shake my head like nothing's wrong.

For the next hour or two, we sit there on the couch and just watch TV. I'm bored and ever and want to sleep, but that's rude if I sleep again.

I sit up and my stomach growls. "Do you want to get food?" He looks at his phone, 10:42. He looks up at me and raises an eyebrow, "Taco Bell Tuesday?" He asks.

I laugh at his comment and nod my head. Tacos sound really good right now and I'm craving some.

"Eat in or drive-through?" He asks.
"Eat in."

We get up and I go to the bathroom to look at my hair, ew. It looks like a rat. I throw it up in a bun and come back out to see him all ready to go. God damn boys get ready fast. I put my shoes on and go back into his kitchen and grab a few mints. I pop some because my breath must smell, gross.

We get to Taco Bell and it's packed for some reason, weird. We get out and go inside to see a mob of people sitting around a booth.

We order our meal and by this time it's eleven in the morning aka breakfast time. Tacos for breakfast is nice because it sets my mood for the day. When we get our tray, we sit at a table.

We don't talk at all, just eat. A lot of girls are insecure about eating infront of guys, but it doesn't bother me, I'm not a messy eater.

When we're about finished, the door opens, and here comes Kelly storming over to us. She looks beyond pissed off over something.

"What the hell Jack?" she says to him.

"What," he replies.

"You were supposed to come over and hangout earlier, forget? Or were you were out on a taco date with my best friend?" She says enraged.

"Whoa," I say. "whoa whoa whoa, this isn't a date. He was with Sam and we wanted Taco Bell, Sam said he didn't want any, so we came by ourselves. Kelly would I really make your boyfriend cheat on you with me? I can get any other guy and I'm not trying to steal your boyfriend."

She looks at Jack then me again, and apologises. "Sorry."

Jack still looks confused as she walks out. "So," he says. "You don't like me?"

"Jack, don't be an idiot. I do, I had to say whatever I had to in order to make her leave."

"Oh, okay." he says.

We finish the rest of our food and head back to the car, the rest of time has been silent.

I start to think about what I said to Kelly. What if I do like Gilinsky, and I do want him away from her. Or what if I like Johnson? I can't hurt Kylee like that.

Boys are so fucking stressful.
