Jake POV
"Cmon! Why won't you let me go with you!" I complained as Serah crossed her arms. I didn't want to stay behind with Ivy and Seth, they always acted like these weird friends with benefits and it was just awkward being the third wheel. She shook her head and said, "I'm not staying with them and someone has too." I made a face to her response. Dammit! Why doesn't anyone trust me to go get pizza by myself? I didn't fuck up in any way.
I rolled my eyes and started walking up the small theater stairs. Seth was sprawled out on a couch behind Ivy so I guess I have to sit with her. Not so much of a big deal I guess, as long as those two weirdos aren't together. She was scrolling threw TV channels looking for something to watch in the mean time while Serah was gone. She hovered over The Price Is Right until finally selecting it. She liked that show for some reason but I wasn't going to contest. I kicked my feet up on the couch in front of me and moved my arms to the head board of the couch, traditional for a guy I must say.
A few minutes into watching the show, Ivy grabbed onto a pillow on another couch and turned herself toward me to then prop her feet up on my lap. I looked down at her feet then at her as she watched the show. ....What?
"Um, Ivy." She didn't look away from the TV as she murmured yeah.
"Can you maybe get you're feet off me." She finally turned her head toward me and slouched one eyebrow as if I confused her. Uh, did I do something wrong?
"Why?" What do you mean why? What the fuck is this a normal thing?
"Uhm, maybe because I don't like feet on me?" Her expression changed to an understanding one.
"Oh okay, one sec." She stood up and sat back down facing the opposite direction so that she was now leaning against me with her head on my shoulder. What the fuck.
"Uhm, what are you doing now?" She kept watching the show as she spoke, "What are you complaining about now." I could hear Seth sit upright as she started talking.
I put my feet down from the couch in front of me and sat upright as well.
"Well I don't exactly like people laying against me." She leaned forward and gave a sympathetic look.
"That's completely understandable." She stood up again but this time quickly propped herself on my lap and leaned sideways against me so her head rested on my shoulder again. What. The. Fuck. I could feel myself instantly tense up.
"Yes perfect, just the right amount of heat." I could feel that I had a horrified look on my face. I pressed my hands against the couch not even wanting to touch her and she continued watching tv.
"Ho, you're traumatizing the kid." I heard Seth say behind me. Oh my god I forgot he was here, thank god! I could feel Ivy shake her head as she murmured nah.
I sat there for a few moments thinking of what to do and it lead to my wonderful plan. I leaned my head back against the headboard of the couch and said, "SETH TAKE HER FUCKING OFF ME!" Best. Plan. Ever.
I could hear him groan as he got up from his couch. He walked around and came to where we were to pick up Ivy from her waist.
"Ho, I said don't do it." She gave a happy smile as he took her away and sat her on his lap, his arms still wrapped around her waist.
"You don't have to be such a skank." She made a face (JUST IMAGINE A .___. FACE OKAY) and leaned herself into Seth. I let a sigh of relief go as Seth said, "You don't have to go around traumatizing people."
I turned and sprawled myself out on the couch like Seth previously and covered my face with my arm. I heard Ivy laugh almost as if she was saying 'Mission Accomplished.'
A little time later the door to the theater opened and a small figure walked in with a few boxes of pizza. Seth and Ivy cheered as I quickly got up to see Serah happily smiling with about huge pizza boxes. She walked up the small stairs and stopped between the two couches to then say, "Did ya miss me?" Seth and Ivy cheered again as Ivy kept stretching her hands out to grab a box. Oh I'm so happy she's here, no awkwardness. She placed the boxes on a small table between the two couches and sat down beside me.
As she sat down I slid over beside her and wrapped my arms behind her tightly as I duh my face into her back. I felt her tense up a bit but oh my god I'm so happy she's here.
"Um... Jake?"
I mumbled a quick response back, somewhere along the lines of "Why didn't you come sooner and save me." I felt her laugh as I let go and slid back to my side of the couch. She looked at me and said, "I don't even wanna know but let's eat pizza!" She grabbed a box and slid over toward me and placed the pizza box on her lap.
Halfway threw the movie, Serah grabbed my arm and hugged it as she leaned against me. I could feel Ivy watching me as she lowly whispered "Ho" in my direction. I just laughed to myself, I only let two people do this and the other one is attached to an air tank at my apartment. Tough luck Ivy.
