The next morning, Jeremy still came over to pick me up. The only difference was that he didn't hold my hand. Probably because I'm dating his best friend. But to be honest, I feel a little disappointed. Not holding his hand in the morning is like trying to change a bad habit. Yeah you may think I'm a bitch like "Girl, you do realise that you already have a boyfriend and he also has a girlfriend right?". Yes I obviously realise that. But why not? It's not like we're making out or kissing. It's just a friendly gesture, in my book. I frowned at the distance between us but didn't say anything. Today he's wearing a white v-neck tee with black jeans and white converse, together with a grey beanie and I'm wearing a black jacket over my baby blue shirt with skinny jeans. He was silent the whole time and I've had the urge to start a conversation but I didn't because what's there to talk about?
"Hey babe," Jax pecked me on my lips when we met them at the usual spot.
"Hey," I smiled as our hands interlocked, feeling his warmth slowly spread through my body.
"Where's my 'good morning' babe?" Axel joked, earning a glare from Jax. Jealous much?
"Good morning Axel, want a morning kiss too?"
Axel glanced at Jax but I'm looking straight at Axel so I have no idea what Jax's reaction is. Probably jealous?
I smirked at Axel and blew him a kiss, "Everyone happy now?"
"Very much," Axel joked, causing me to chuckle. I felt Jax's arm wrap protectively around my waist, pulling me closer to him.
"It's fine Jax," I whispered, looking up to reassure him. He gave me a small smile that did not reach his eyes. Is he jealous? Over this little thing?
***
School was ok. Jax calmed down and we were all cool. We headed back to Jeremy's as usual and this time, we had loads of homework so we couldn't do anything else. "Ergh...all this is bullshit," Axel muttered, tugging on his light ash brown hair.
"What now?" Jeremy groaned, looking up from his paper.
"I don't want to do this," Axel whined, lying flat on the floor.
"Which question do you need help with?" Jeremy rolled his eyes, knowing that Axel needed help. Axel immediately sat up with a smile plastered to his face.
"Thanks bud, this one," He pointed to a question which was extremely easy. I bet he's just lazy. I turned my attention back to Jax.
"What word is this?" He poked my arm.
"Escalate." I scooted closer to him, snuggling into his warm body. His arms wrapped around my shoulders and I sighed.
*Ring**Ring*
Jax shuffled around and took his phone out of his pocket. "Mum?" He muttered to himself.
"Hello mum...at Jer's...no...WHAT?!...ok...ok I'm coming over now...yeah...no...ok bye..." Jax's eyebrows scrunched up together as he took his arms off my shoulders.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"My dad...car accident...hospital..." Jax panicked as he stuffed everything that belonged to him into his bag.
"Calm down Jax," I picked up the black that he dumped on Jeremy's bed and passed it to him. He took it from me and put it on.
"Need a ride?" Axel asked.
"Yeah," Jax mumbled as he stood up.
I quickly stood up and caught his arm, "You going to be ok?" I've never seen him like this before (obviously right?) and I can tell he's very close to his family.
"Yeah. See you tomorrow," He gave me a quick peck and I released my grip on his arm before he rushed down with Axel. I sighed and flopped back down on the grey beanbag I was sitting on.
"You...going back now?" Jeremy asked. Shit I totally forget he's here. I shook my head and leaned back a little.
"I'll just stay here for a little longer. It's still early anyway. I don't have anything to do back home."
He nodded slowly and I started to feel uncomfortable. He stood up and sat on his bed. This is so awkward. What should I do now? Should I say something? Start a conversation? Ever since Jax announced that we were dating, my relationship with Jeremy became very distant and I don't like it. Especially the mornings in the car. "Don't you find that beanbag uncomfortable?" He suddenly spoke.
"Erm no?" I frowned at his random question. How can a beanbag be uncomfortable? I can literally sleep on it. I don't even need a bed.
He rolled his eyes and patted the spot beside him. I raised my brow. Is he asking me to sit beside him on the bed? With only 2 of us in his room alone? "I...don't think that's a good idea."
"Just come here. The beanbag is so uncomfortable. My bed is way better. Plus, it's not like I'm going to do anything to you."
True. I mean why not? This is a good chance to blow all the awkwardness away from us. I struggled up from the beanbag and walk over to his humongous and comfy bed. "So..." I looked at him from the corner of my eye. He looked equally uncomfortable, "What do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do?" He threw me back my question.
"Honestly, I think we need to settle both of us," I told him honestly. Just going straight to the point would make things less awkward I guess.
"And how do you want to do that?"
"Find out why we're suddenly so distant? I still hate you ok?"
"Tsk. But I still like you," His smirk was back and I smiled feeling more comfortable.
"So we're ok now?" I asked.
"I guess?" He shrugged.
I opened my arms out, body facing him. "Hug?" He gave me a look as he scrunched up his perfectly sculptured nose which looked pretty cute. Oh my gawd did I just say that? Ergh get a grip Kris! You hate this annoying guy though you just cleared the awkwardness and requested for a hug. Yeah that's right. I hate him.
I raised my eyebrow, moving my arms a little to ask him for the hug. He looked at me for a moment before groaning and scooting towards me, hugging me back. I smiled and rested my chin on his shoulder. "Hey baby girl?" His chin moved on my shoulder. Yay...he's back. Sense that sarcasm?
"Hm?"
"Don't you think this...is a little inappropriate? We are both taken and-"
"JEREMYYYY BABYYYY! I'M HEREEE!" The closed door suddenly burst open and we jumped apart. What the fuck?! I was enjoying that hugging moment. I turned to face the door and my face fell when I saw who it was at the door. Holy pieces of crabmeat.
It's Emilia Clarkson
