Friends With Benefits (A Sidemen Fanfiction)

19

I mentally groaned when I heard my alarm going off. JJ mumbled something beside me. It taken me by surprise for a second because I completely forgot he was here. Memories flooded through my brain of yesterday. I had told him I was pregnant. I had confessed my feelings for him. And I was his girlfriend now. "What?" I asked as I rubbed my face. My voice was groggy. JJ just hummed in response and I sat up, looking around the room. I didn't want to go anywhere, let alone to work. I was tired. Exhausted even. "I'm cold now." JJ's deep voice made me look over my shoulder and at him. He laid with his eyes on me and the duvet up to his chin. I flicked the blanket off of me the rest of the way and climbed out of bed, pulling my sleeves over my hands. "I don't see how you wake up this early." JJ said as my hand rested on the cold door handle. "You get used to it." I shrugged before leaving my room for the bathroom. After I had taken a really quick shower, brushed my teeth, and used the toilet, I wrapped up in a white towel and walked back into my bedroom, closing the door behind me. I found JJ sitting up on my bed now on his phone. I had let him use a spare charger of mine last night, so it wasn't dead. "I figured you had gone back to sleep." I said quietly as I made my way to my wardrobe. "I figured I would wish you good day." He said, smiling. My bedroom door opened quickly and JJ jumped, making me laugh. "Oh I didn't know you were here." Liv said, looking at JJ with raised eyebrows. Even though I only wore a towel, neither of them minded. I mean it was my best friend and my boyfriend after all. "I'm leaving now. I'm going to pick up some groceries on my way home so call me or text me what you want." She said, nodding at me. "Yes Mum. Have a good day." I laughed as I got a pair of black skinny jeans and a shirt that matched the one I wore Saturday identically. We had to wear an assigned shirt everyday and I had four of them so I did laundry quite often. "You too." Liv spoke softly before leaving my room, closing the door again. I sighed as I dropped the towel. My back was to JJ, but I knew he was staring. "Woo! Take it off!" He yelled, laughing. I felt a blush rise to my face as I put on some underwear and a bra. My smile faded when I remembered that in a month my body would be ruined. And in two months it would be even worse. It would be worth it though. At least that's what I was telling myself. I went across my room and sat down on my carpeted floor in front of a big mirror I had leaned against the wall. When we first moved in, I had intended to hang it up on the wall but I figured this was much more convenient than buying a vanity that I would probably never use and that would take up space. I brushed my damp hair out, deciding to put it in a messy fishtail braid to the side. I then put some light makeup on. While I was getting ready for a long, boring day ahead of me, JJ spoke up. "What would you like to name this lovely child of ours?" He asked, his voice soft. I looked into the mirror as I removed the mascara wand from my eyelashes, batting them. This question made me nervous. Extremely nervous. It made my stomach drop, in fact. I laid a hand on my stomach, looking at it in the mirror. I was in no way visibly pregnant. But it would change eventually. "We don't even know the gender yet." I shrugged, putting everything I had used back into my makeup bag before standing up and sitting down again beside JJ on my bed and grabbing my phone. I began to scroll through my social medias. Because of that one football video I recorded with the guys and the fact that they all followed me on basically everything I had gained quite a bit of followers so I always had something to look at when I was bored. "I kind of hope it's a boy." JJ muttered. His voice was quiet. And JJ normally want quiet. I looked up at him and saw him staring straight ahead at the wall. "Hey what's wrong?" I asked, crossing my legs in front of me and facing my body towards him. "I'm..." His voice trailed off. "It's nothing." He said, looking over at me with soft eyes and a sad smile. I bit my lip. "If you say so." I mumbled. "Hey don't worry about me. Just go have a good day. The guys will be here to keep me company. We won't wreck the place. I promise. And when you get home we will relax and eat ice cream and shit." He said, leaning to the side and grabbing his keys off of the bedside table and handing them to me. "Are you sure, JJ?" I asked, biting my lip. "Yes I'm sure." He rolled his eyes, grabbing my wrist and holding my hand up so I could take the keys. "Now go away. I'm going back to sleep." He muttered after kissing my forehead. I giggled. I got off of the bed and went to my own bedside table. I opened the small drawer in it and grabbed my pepper spray. Better to be safe than sorry. I also threw on a big hoodie just for the short ride to work. I stuffed my phone in my pocket and looked back at JJ once more. "I'll text you when you get off. And I'll tell Liv to get us some junk food." He said as he laid back down. "Alright. Bye." "Love you!" He yelled after me as I walked out of the room and shut the door softly behind me. I didn't respond, just smiled and walked down the stairs. I was happy. Sure I was scared shitless about the baby, but I was happy with JJ. At the time anyways.
