-Jo-
I woke up on the couch with a blanket covering me. I was confused at first until I saw the pile of Chinese takeaway boxes. Still it was a blur but I cannot forget Reese running down the street with his shirt off.

My phone vibrated and saw a chain of messages from the same number. It had no name meaning it wasn't in my contacts. One of the messages said "can't wait to see you soon ;)" the others are just saying "hi". As a response, I said "hi, please leave me alone. Creep."

It took less than a minute for the person to respond.

Unknown: don't be like that Jo.
The first thing that I though was that I had a stalker. I was close, they messaged again.

Unknown: it's Jensen.
I dropped my phone and sat there shocked. How the hell did he get my number.

Me: why do you have my number??
While I waited for a reply, I changed his name in my contacts.

Jensen: Reese.
I stood up from the couch and marched to Reese's room. Without knocking, I opened the door and found him asleep on his bed. I looked around and found a cup with some water on it. I picked it up and poured the water on him.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck." He woke up, immediately standing up from his bed, shaking the water off. He looked up and saw me with the cup on my hand.

"What the fuck?!"

"I could ask you the same thing!" His hair was messy and his clothes was wet along with his bed covers. He looked at me confused.

"You gave that guy my number." I put the cup down and took a pillow and started hitting him. "Why would you do that?!" I continued to hit him until he pushed me on the bed.

"Because he asked for it." Reese walked over to his wooden wardrobe, pulling out a black v-neck shirt.

"I didn't give you consent to give him my number, now he won't leave me alone!"

"No one gives me consent to do half of the things I did but I did it anyway." I eyebrows frowned and looked at him.  "Point is, he wanted it so I gave it to him." A smile began to form on his face while looking at me.

"What?"

"I've pissed you off, I feel content."

"Someday you'll end up dead and no one will know." With that I left him room and went to mine.
I sat down on my bed that faced the mirror. Next to me was my phone. I picked it up and saw a few more messages from Jensen.

Jensen: hello?
Jensen: don't ignore me, please.
Jensen: two can play that game.
Jensen: talk to me, I'm bored.

Me: you're 38, get a job!

Jensen: I have one, I'm just in a break.

Me: till when

Jensen: till next month :)

Me: leave me alone.

Jensen: wanna meet?

Me: no, I'm busy.

Jensen: no you're not.

Me: how would you know.

Jensen: coz I do,, I'll pick you up in 10.

Me: yOU DON'T KNOW WHERE I LIVE!

Jensen: no, but I can always ask Reese.

Me: leave. Me. Alone.
With that I turned my phone off and stayed in bed. I turned on my vinyl player, playing Radiohead.
I stayed like this for a couple of moments until I felt like moving.

Looking around my room, I thought it was time for me to tidy up. I tied my hair up in a messy ponytail and picked up some clothes that Was on the floor. After that I went out and took the vacuum cleaned and cleaned the floor for a good three minutes.

I didn't have much laundry to do so I left it till next weekend. The room was somewhat tidy, all that was left was my bed and the book in it. Textbooks and pens were everywhere. I took all of them and places them on my study table. As I haven't slept on my bed, there wasn't anything to fix.

I went to the toilet and began to wash my face and brush my teeth. Then I went back to my room and got changed into some black skinny jeans and a black and white baseball shirt. I did my eyeliner and put mascara on to finish my make up.

"Just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen" I sang, pulling the hair tie out of my hair.

I stopped singing when my bedroom door opens. I looked up to see who it was and found Reese standing by the door way with a smirk on his face.

"What's with your face?" I asked, sitting down on the bed. I pulled out a plastic container with a grey lid from under my bed that contained my shoes. The lid was cracked due to the amount of shoes that I have stored in it.

"Where going to Breakfast n' Go, were leaving in a bit." He said.

"Breakfast 'n' Go? That's on the other side of town." I complained whilst I put on a black converse.

"Yeah but were not paying." He said. Reese chuckled and left my room. I was left confused but I decided not to fight it. I turned off my turntable afterwards and took a black leather jacket. Considering my phone was off, I left it on the bed and left the room.

------

We arrived at Breakfast n' Go after a good half an hour drive. Reese parked the car near the entrance so that we wouldn't have to walk much. I took my seatbelt off and opened the door. He stopped me before I could leave.

"Don't hate me okay." He said. I nodded and looked at him confused. We both got out of the car and walked to the entrance.

"Reese!" A feminine voice called out from behind us. I turned to see a brunette girl running toward Reese.

"Andy hey." He said pulling her into a tight hug. I stood there awkwardly watching the two smile at each other. There was silence between the three of us thought I doubt she noticed my existence.

"Oh shit, Andy this is my friend Jo, Jo this is Andy my- um-" he was lost for word but Andy cut him off.

"Girlfriend." I smiled at her and looked Reese who looked stunned. "Nice to meet you, come on I'm hungry."  I opened the door and walked inside. The place was a classic American dinner theme and played the best music.

There wasn't many people so I scanned the place for a good seat. As I did, I saw a familiar face sat in the corner booth of the dinner. He looked up and a goofy smirk formed on his face.

"Fucking hell."
