The Nerd's QB

Movie

Why does my head hurt? I groan as I open my eyes. It feels like someone is beating up my head with a hammer. I struggle to get out of bed and drag myself to the bathroom.

When I look into the mirror, I scare myself. I look horrible. My hair is a mess, my mascara is all smudged and running downy cheek. My red lipstick is also smudged around my face. Was I hit by a car?

I sluggishly wash my face and take a long shower. Then I dress myself in the same hoodie from last night because it's the comfiest thing ever. And I am greeted by Rex's glare when I walk into the kitchen. "Here," he forwards two pills and a glass of water to me.

I gulp it down without any questions and glare back. "Speak softly."

"No," he screeches once again. "And why were you drunk?"

I scrunch my nose, trying to remember what happened. All I remember is talking to a girl and the Rex's shirtless body. What? I look down and notice that it is indeed a blue UCLA football hoodie. Did Rex put it on me? My cheeks flame up in embarrassment. "I don't remember much from last night," I mumble.

His glare becomes harsher. "Your friend Oliver dropped you home. And you also told me your thoughts on my sexuality while judging my major."

I blink.

"You think I'm gay?"

I blink again. What do I say now? "You're not?"

He sneers, "no, I'm not."

"Then why were you and Aiden sleeping together?"

"What?" The tone of his question is enough to let me know to keep my mouth shut if I'm smart. But I'm not. "I once saw you two sleeping together on the couch."

He growls like a dog. "That's nothing. That happens when we drink too much and fall asleep while playing games."

I nod slowly. "Oh. Okay." I fidget in my seat, this is uncomfortable. "Did you change my clothes," I ask in a small voice.

"No. You took your dress of saying it's hot. And then you complained about being cold so I gave you my hoodie."

I nod, my cheeks burn in embarrassment. Rex Montgomery saw me naked. How will I ever live through this?

"Here," Rex slides a plate of pancakes towards me. "Eat."

I pick at the food as it's hard to eat anything right now. Where's my brother when I need him? I take small bites of the pancakes, which are surprisingly good. "So um." I try to fill the awkward silence with random nonsensical words. "You don't have any classes today?"

"It's Sunday, so no."

I nod. "Where's Aiden?"

He glances at me before taking another sip of his coffee. "He went to meet a friend."

"Oh, ok."

"Wanna watch a movie?"

I look up at him, surprised that he'd want to spend time with me. "Sure."

We both move into the living room and sit down on the couch. He offers the remote to me and I give him a small smile. I shuffle through the options before finally settling on Barbie. I haven't watched it yet and I really want to. I glance up at Rex to see if he's okay with it but his face gives away nothing so I put on Barbie.

The next time, I wake up because of my brother's loud voice. Why's he yelling?

"What's going on here?"

I groan opening my eyes and notice that I'm cuddled up to Rex and he too has his head on top of mine. We both fell asleep while watching the movie. But Aiden's yelling woke us both up and Rex immediately pulled away from me.

"Nothing man, we fell asleep while watching movies," Rex answers sleepily.

"You traitor," Aiden points a finger in Rex's face. "We promised we'd watch it together and now you're going behind my back and cheating on me with my sister!"

I frown. But I thought they're not gay? Oh he's talking about the movie. Rex said he wanted to watch The Exorcist and I bravely agreed. But we both fell asleep.

"But you always refuse to watch it." Rex defended himself. "I couldn't wait any longer." He's cute. No, don't go there.

Aiden sneered and stomped out. "Lily, come on, don't stay with traitors!"

I scurry to follow Aiden. Not because Rex is a traitor or something. But because what happened in the last few hours was too intimate. Me taking my clothes off in front of him? Him taking care of my drunk butt? Falling asleep in each other's arms? At this rate I'll be head over heels in love with him again. And I definitely don't want that. It's better for me to stay away.
