Catching Feelings

12

"Do you know the last time I had a whole night all to myself?" I ask Bobbi with a little nudge.
She rolls her eyes with a laugh "You don't have it all to yourself...I'm right here nerd."
I turn and give her a tiny secretive smile "You don't count...thought you knew that?"
She looks annoyed "Why don't I count?"
I don't bother to look at her as if the answer is simple, which it is "Because I'd rather be with you than alone any day."
"Really?" she sounds surprised "I mean...that just shocks me, how often do you get the chance to be alone?"
I look at her out of the corner of my eye "It doesn't matter...I'd always pick you."
She changes the subject "So what are we watching?"
"I don't know...there's a ton of movies over there. Go pick one. I don't even know what all's there, they're not all mine."
She slides off the bed and walks across the room, dropping down and crawling over to the cabinet the last couple steps. She hasn't done it on purpose, which somehow makes it a hundred times sexier.
She flips through the dvd's for a minute and then holds up the notebook. "Is this your's?"
I nod a little and confess "Yeah, it's mine."
"I thought that was something you just said in interviews." She looks shocked but somehow pleased.
"Nope..." I shrug. "It's the truth."
She tosses it aside, "I've seen it a million times, I take it you have too?"
I give her a dramatic over the top whatever shrug "Yeah, maybe once or twice."
She makes an adorable face, pursing her lips into a kiss "Aww Bieber's a softy."
"Yeah, come back up here and I'll show you how soft Bieber can be." I tease, making sure she knows I'm kidding.
"Don't worry J...your secret's safe with me." She assures me as she turns her back to me to search through the movies.
"Whatever mouth, pick one and get your ass up here."
She slides a dvd in and heads back over to the bed "God, move over bed hog..."
I make a little more room for her, but not so much that she'll be too far away. "What'd you pick?"
She kicks the covers around for a second, getting comfortable "Don't you ever make your bed J? Friends With Benefits...Justin Timberlake...love him."
"First, no...I never make my bed. Why would I? I think it's pointless." I drop an innocent kiss on the top of her head "And second...I think it's obvious who wins the Justin category..."
She nods seriously, agreeing "Yeah, no contest. Timberlake. Hands down."
She tilts her face up and waits for my reaction, bursting into laughter when I pretend I'm hurt "Oh don't cry Justin...you know who I'd pick."
Five minutes into the movie she sighs "We should've made popcorn."
"You want popcorn? I'll make us some..." I start to get up but she hangs on to my arm "No...don't worry about it."
I settled back in and she curls up to me a little more "I'll make you popcorn if you want popcorn...popcorn sounds good."
She doesn't lift her head from my shoulder "What were we talking about? Oh yeah, popcorn. I forgot because you didn't say it enough times in that sentence."
"Well seriously, if you want popcorn, I'll make you popcorn. We have microwave popcorn, you just put that popcorn in the microwave and it pops in like two minutes. I love popcorn...don't you love popcorn? Popcorn's amazing."
"Oh my god..." she laughs again. I love to make her laugh. "Shut up! I thought I was watching a movie with you, not Orville Redenbacher."
"Orville Redenbacher?" I readjust my position and she drops her head to my chest "That was terrible B...you gotta work on your game."
She raises her head just enough to see me, sending her hair trailing over my chest...if she wasn't looking directly at me, I'd probably close my eyes. "I don't need to work on anything...my game is perfect. That shit was hilarious." She lays her hand on my stomach and gives me a little poke. "Now hush up already..."
"Hush up?" I raise my eyebrows "You sound like my grandma." I run my fingers through her hair, playing with it lightly, curling the ends around my finger...
"Don't..." she says softly "you'll put me to sleep."
I don't respond...but I don't stop either, and she doesn't ask me to again.

As I lay here I'm more calm and at ease than I have been in a very long time. My head rests soundly on his chest which I know isn't the most professional thing but I think we surpassed that long ago. I'm not really sure where this is going, but it scares the hell out of me for many many reasons, not just the age thing. "You need anything B?" he says jerking me out of my thoughts
I sigh "Nah I'm pretty good..here I'll move." I roll over and he sits up.
"Just for a minute though..." he grins "I need a drink and I have to take a piss."
I smile and roll my eyes "Thanks Justin..I really needed to know that."
He's gone only a few short minutes and when he returns his shirt is missing. He so fucking sexy I can't stand it and he knows it. I suspect he's lost the shirt on purpose but I pretend that I don't notice. We fall right back into comfortably watching the movie, laughing at all the same things. My head has once again has found it's way to his chest, I feel so at home here for some reason. I start to doze off but his laughter startles me and I jump.
"Damn B what was that?" he laughs.
"I'm sorry, I must've fallen asleep..."
He pushes the hair out of my face "I kinda thought that's what happened..you were way to quiet."
I gasp as if I'm highly offended "Are you saying I'm a big mouth?"
He laughs a little "Maybe..."
I roll over to the far side of the bed with my back to him "Fine then, I'll just be over here with my big mouth."
He grabs at my waist "Awe come on baby...you know I was just kidding." he whispers in my ear sending shivers through me. I roll onto my back and our eyes meet. We watch each other for a few intense moments and I'm pretty sure if he kissed me I wouldn't stop him but his phone rings completely ruining everything.
