03.

Walking into my apartment after work I saw the lights in my bedroom on.

I never leave the lights on.

Opening my phone I dialed 911 not calling yet. I walked quietly towards my bedroom peeking inside the room while hiding behind the wall, I saw Justin's figure lying on my bed.

I sighed loudly locking my phone putting it in my back pocket. "Justin" I said walking towards him. "Justin get out of my house it's almost midnight". No answer.

Walking around the bed looking at his face I noticed he was asleep. He looks so peaceful. Leaning down to him kissing him on the cheek, "wake up" I whispered in his ear causing him to groan and squint his eyes at me, "no" he whined turning around facing the other side, causing me to sigh.

I walked into my bathroom towards the sink, removing my makeup and brushing my teeth. Walking back into my bedroom turning the lights off, stripping myself to my bra and underwear. Don't judge me I'm too tired to even change. I put my phone in the charger and got into bed pulling the duvet all the way up to my neck.

Lying on my back I turned my face looking at Justin I saw him smirking lightly. Asshole.

Turning my back to him I closed my eyes, a few seconds later feeling his strong arm around my waist. "Mia look at me", I turned my face to him feeling his lips immediately on mine causing me to pull away.

"What are you doing?" I asked looking at his eyes.

"Kissing you" he whispered leaning in again causing me to turn my face the other side.

"Why are you so distant lately?" He asked taking his arm off of my waist as he sat up.

"I'm not distant" I said still lying down looking up at him.

"Hell yeah you are, every fucking time I'm trying to kiss you or even touch you, you automatically pull away" he said raising his voice a little.

"Don't raise your voice at me" I said calmly.

"I'm not raising my voice at you I'm just irritated" he said running his left hand through his hair as he stood up.

"Well I'm sorry I'm like super busy lately and I'm tired all the time and Dylan is back in Los-"

"What Dylan has to do with us?" Justin said walking towards the light switch turning the lights on.

"I don't know I just.." I trailed off, sitting up.

"Oh I get it, you want him back now don't you?" He said calmly.

"What? Justin don't be stupid okay I just thought of it as an option I don't want him back" I said looking at his eyes only then realizing how upset he looked.

Why is he so upset I mean yeah we do stuff but there's no reason for him to be upset.

"Basically it means our little thing is over?" He said looking at me only then making me realize why he looked so upset. It means no sex for him anymore. At least from me.

"Yeah I guess" I said looking him in the eye.

"Well too bad" he said pressing his lips into a thin line "no I'm just kidding, good luck buddy I'll miss you" he walked over to me patting me on the shoulder making me laugh.

"Talk to me tomorrow? I'm meeting with Kendall's manager, I want you to come with me" I said taking his hand off my shoulder holding it.

"Of course Mia you're my best friend" he said squeezing my hand a little smiling at me.

"Are you nervous?" He asked sitting down next to me.

"A little, I mean that meeting could be the end of my shitty job. Forever." I said only making myself more nervous.

"You'll nail it. I mean you're Mia you get everything you want" he said kissing my knuckles.

"I missed us being like this" I said quietly.

"What do you mean like this?" He said letting go of my hand.

"Like this" I said lifting my hand pointing at him then at me right after "like being just best friends and be there for each other, that's what we do best I really need your support sometimes" I said smiling at him.

"Well I'm always here for you I hope you know that" he said smiling back.

"I know"

"You're really important to me Mia I hope you know that too"

"Am I?"

"Of course." he said messing my hair.

"Stop it" I said fixing my hair pouting my bottom lip making him chuckle.

"Alright, I guess I'll see you tomorrow? What time is the meeting?" He said getting up from my bed stretching out.

"11am, I'll pick you up" I answered lying down.

"Great, see you tomorrow" he said leaning down kissing my lips causing me to freeze.

"Oh my god I'm so so sorry. Force of habit" he said opening his eyes in shock yet smirking.

"You asshole I swear to god you did that on purpose" I said chuckling.

"Damn you know me so well. Goodnight baby I'll see you tomorrow"

"I'm not your baby okay stop calling me that. And turn the lights off." I said turning my back to him right before adding a demand to lock the door since he has a key and I'm way too lazy to get up and lock it myself.

"You lazy ass I can call you whatever I want. Goodnight baby see you tomorrow" he yelled from across my apartment a second before I heard the door closing shut, a locking noise right after.

I really love our friendship like that I don't know why I even agreed to this whole "friends with benefits" thing, it just made everything about sex.

Closing my eyes I hugged my pillow falling asleep a few seconds later.
