Fell for the Geek

Chapter 1

Bailee Stewart

Since when did it start being like this, me waking up in Jack's bed like it was the most normal thing in the world. Most of the time when I would stay over, I would sleep in my own room, but occasionally I sleep in Jack's room, in his bed. And when I say sleep I mean, just sleep, nothing else.

Jack Diamond and I have been best friends since we were babies, because my mom and Jack's mom were also best friends and they decided to get pregnant at the same time like the cliche best friends forever stories. Apart from our moms being best friends who got pregnant around the same time, Jack is older by 2 months but he loves rubbing it in my face, we're next door neighbors and always have been. We grew up together and we've been everywhere together, from school to school.

Jack and I have always been close to each other so staying over at his house was nothing to be fazed about. I had slept in the same bed as Jack when I was little and used to sleep over, but as we started growing and it became a bit less of a habit, but that didn't mean we stopped sleeping together. Again just sleep. I guess since I had always slept with Jack, it didn't feel weird with him being a guy and me being a girl.

I had just woken up and as I rubbed my eyes, I turned to my side to see Jack's sleeping face. His face was calm, relaxed, and he looked vulnerable. He wasn't wearing his glasses so you could see his green eyes perfectly and his face has slight covered by his bangs. I had a temptation to just leave him alone to rest, but the other part of me, a bigger part, had the urge to flick him in the forehead so he could wake up. So I went with the latter and flicked him right in the forehead, accidentally too hard.

"Ow!" He yelped as he opened his eyes groggily and held his hand to his forehead. He saw me just staring at him, so it gave him a clue that it was me who flicked him, that and that nobody else was in the room.

"What the hell was that for?" He asked somewhat angrily.

"Well I kept calling your name but you wouldn't wake up, so it was the last resort. I had to take big measures." I lied, with a sweet smile on my face. He wasn't going to argue with me because even if I did call him, he sleeps like a log. But ironically only somethings can wake him up, like the alarm on his phone and the sound of his mom's voice yelling at him to wake up.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever, next time can you use another method to wake me up." He said getting out of bed and standing up. He picked up his glasses from his bedside table and stretched, and when he did, his shirt lifted up a bit to expose a part of his toned stomach. He walked towards the bathroom in his room and shut the door.

Although Jack was what most people called a nerd and geek, it didn't mean he was the stereotypical nerd and geek. Jack was extremely smart and he didn't like being like everyone else or what they'd expect from him, he was him. Yes, he did love Harry Potter, The lord of the rings, anime/manga, math, comics, science, conventions, learning, etc. But that didn't mean Jack didn't like sports or to exercise. Since Jack like trying new things, he has taken martial art classes, wrestling classes, competitive swimming, and competitive running. I think it's due to all these different things, and his daily exercise, that he's in good shape. If I'm already saying this, I might as well mention that Jack isn't ugly from the face, if you know what I mean. But it's not like that between us I'm just pointing out facts.

I was lying on Jack's bed just staring up at the ceiling when I heard the bathroom door open, so I sat up and looked at Jack coming out. He had damp hair with drops of water falling of it and around his hips he had a towel wrapped around and his whole chest exposed to her. It wasn't my first time seeing him like that but it always felt like it was. Unlike me, he seemed like he could care less that a girl was seeing him coming out of the shower with just a towel on his hips.
