The Almost Rejection

14. The Morning After

JORDAN

 

 

I woke up with a smile upon my face.  I was eighteen!  Finally an adult that could do as she wished.  I knew my mother and sister were gone, at some man's house, they were sluts.  It was just going to be Tris and me.  That was good, because lately I have felt like I'm taking a back seat to her mythology partner.  Though I was happy for my friend I couldn't help but be jealous that she had a mate and I didn't.  I knew I wouldn't find my mate in this pack, I wanted to look for him but I had to wait.  At least until I was through with high school, or Tris would never forgive me for leaving.

I took a quick shower before going down the hall to Tris's room.  I knocked attentively not knowing if she was still sleeping.  I heard a giggle. Why was she laughing?  I pushed the door open and took in the scene before me.  Tris was lying on the bed with Conner's shirt on with a shirtless and pant less Conner leaned over her tickling.  I felt my eyes widen of their own accord as both their heads swung to face me.  I gulped and told myself to breath.

"I am so sorry.  I didn't know you were entertaining Tris.  I'll be downstairs making breakfast just feel free to come down whenever."  I was hurt that yet again Conner was hanging out with Tris and I wasn't.  I tried to keep my face in a nonchalant mask though as I turned on my heel and made my way downstairs.

TRIS

  A look of pain come upon my best friends face making me feel horrible.  I knew she wasn't jealous because I had Conner, their relationship was long over.  She must be upset that I had slept with him.  We both always thought Jordan would lose her virginity first and I still think she will.  We didn't have sex she just thought we did.  Once I got downstairs I would explain and she would be her happy, carefree self again.  I blushed looking at Conner's naked chest, gently shoving against it so I could get up.

"Let's go downstairs," I told him before I disappeared into the closet for some clothes.  I threw him his shirt once I got my own and walked hand and hand with him to the kitchen.  Jordan was bent over, looking for a pan in the bottom cabinet.  Her long blonde hair was wet from her morning shower and she had put on some blue jean shirts and a tank.  Jordan was so much more beautiful than me.  She was the perfect 5'5 height with a super tanned complexion.  She had a small nose and full lips with high cheekbones.  Her eyes a gorgeous blue. 

I couldn't believe that she was actually making breakfast.  She wasn't much of a morning eater.  She hates eggs and oranges, so no orange juice. 

"What are you making?"  Conner inquired of Jordan.

"Waffles," She turned to us with her signature smirk in place her eyes dull and full of some emotion I couldn't decipher. 

"Hey, Jor, you know we didn't have sex, don't you?"  She shot me a smile.

"Yeah, I assumed.  I didn't think you'd let him take you that quick."  I blushed knowing that if it had been up to me, last night I wouldn't be a virgin right now.  Right now I wanted him, don't get me wrong, but couldn't believe myself for wanting to have sex with Conner right when we first got together.  I guess it was 'in the moment' kind of thing.  I looked up to see the most amazing pair of blue eyes looking down at me with some much love within them that I could hardly hold myself back from kissing him right here.

"Please don't, I know that look. I might have only had like two boyfriends in my life but that doesn't mean I don't know lust when I see it."  I flushed even more at that.  Jordan didn't have boyfriends.  She went on dates, kissed, and flirted with whoever she wanted.  She was a player but only she didn't sleep around.  She always said she wanted her options open.  It drove guys crazy.  They all wanted to be with her.  She was the perfect "friends with benefits" but only like I said no sex. She said she was saving herself for her mate.

"Why don't we watch a movie?"  I asked the others because frankly it was getting kind of awkward.

"How about you and golden boy pick a movie while I finish making breakfast?"  I nodded leading Conner into the living room and away from Jordan. 

"Can I kiss you now?" Conner asked making me stop.  I looked up and before I could answer his lips crashed into mine.  It was a forceful kiss that only left me with want.  I raised on my toes and wrapped my arms around his neck tangling them in his soft hair.  Moaning in pleasure as I tugged a strand he pulled me closer, his hands gripping my hips.  He licked my bottom lip asking for entrance.  I didn't give it to him.  Smirking at his growl I tugged on his hair again.  He bit my bottom lip making me gasp and in taking advantage of that he stuck his tongue inside my mouth. 

"Dammit!  Fuck I will have to fucking go wash my damn eyes out now.  Shit! Stop, motherfuckers!"  I knew Jordan cussed some but when she cusses that much it means she's really upset.

"We're sorry," Conner started breaking apart from me.  I only looked at him a second to see that he was as red as I most likely was.  Luckily, the door bell rang before Jordan could start up again.

"I thought she was going to kill us!" 

"Me too! Someone saved us though.  I wonder who it was?"  Suddenly John, the Beta, walked into the room. 

"Now we can watch a movie."  Jordan said dramatically coming into the room.  I gave her a look.  "What did you want me to do?  You have a date," She pointed to Conner then continued, "So I needed one.  I am not a third wheel."  Rolling my eyes and sighing I sat down while Jordan and the boys picked a movie to watch.

"Tris! You have to pick between our movies because we all want to watch something different."  Jordan said.

"Ok, what are the chooses?"

"I want to watch Pitch Perfect, Conner wants to watch Salt, and John wants to watch Resident Evil."  I liked all those movies but had to go with Pitch Perfect.  I had to go with Jordan because she was feeling left out, I knew she was.  I pointed to her movie as she cheered dancing around the room.  Conner pouted but John didn't seem to care.  We all settled in to watch the movie after Jordan's dance, sitting beside our "dates."
