Just Good Friends

Chapter 44

SAM's POV

After the little chit-chat with Diggy, I drove straight home to work on some homework. Luckily, since it's a new semester, we don't have too much work just yet. Usually, I'd be procrastinating,  but I figured there's nothing else to do. It's my last semester of high school... can you believe it? 

I can't believe it. I remember when I was a little freshman walking the halls of Wesley High and the only friend I knew was Diggy. And then I met Becca because she was on the cheer team and we'd see her whenever we had basketball practice and games. And then Khalil. And Jake. The whole crew.

*DING DONG* 

I wonder who that is? Mama G and Antonio aren't home yet... and we're not expecting anyone. I exhale and get up to answer the door. When I open it, Jake's grinning face greets me at the door.

"Hello...?"

"Hey. Can I come in?"

"Uh... sure." I let him in and he walks into the kitchen, setting his bag on the floor. I close the door and follow him, curious about why he came to visit. "So, what's up? You could've called or something."

"I wanted to surprise you," he simply says.

"Okay. What's up?" I cross my arms and eye his suspicious smirk.

"Well... how was the talk with Diggy?"

"Ugh, stupid. He asked me about some rumors about Julie and if I had anything to do with them." I sit on a stool at the kitchen table.

"Oh, he asked me about those, too. I told him I didn't know anything." He shrugs.

"I don't know why he's worried about it so much -- I mean, they involve him but if they're not dating anymore, why does it matter? People gon' talk regardless and there's nothing he can really do about it."

"True. If he's really concerned, he should tell a guidance counselor or something because it could be considered cyberbullying."

"Yeah, well... I have nothing to do with it, so. I'm over it," I reply with a shrug.

Jake nods his head. Then, he grins at me. "So... what are you doing?" 

"I was studying... until you came."

"Oh. Well... we can study together." He steps closer to me, grabs my chin, and pulls me close to kiss my lips. Mmm, his lips are so soft! After a few more seconds in what felt like heaven, I pull away.

"I really need to study. Seriously. I don't need any distractions," I say, wiping the corners of my mouth.

"Is that right?" He smirks and rubs my arm, which I can't help but give in to.

"Yes, Jake."

"I really need to study, too..." He licks his lips; his eyes are so mesmerizing.

"Okay. Then let's study," I reply in an energetic voice, grabbing his arm and attempting to pull him towards the dining room table where my textbook is laying open. But he pulls me back and wraps his arms around my waist. 

"I need to study you..." he says, before kissing me again, more passionately than the last time. I give in, again, sucking on his juicy lips while rubbing his neck. I feel Jake's big hands slide down my back and rest on the curve of my hips, then he slides them further down and grabs my booty, massaging it. It feels so goooood! The air between us and around us feels warm and hot. My heart is pounding in my chest as my hormones rage. Mmm... I don't want it to stop!

"Well, hello!"

Me and Jake jump off of each other and fix ourselves as we stare into the deathly eyes of my mother.
