Distractions

Part 8

* Matt's P.O.V *

When I woke up, Julia had her arms snaked around my sides under my hoodie and her head was resting right under my chin. She was snuggled up against my chest, breathing slowly and smiling in her sleep. She was so cute when she was sleeping.

I wish I'd stop being a pussy and ask her out

I said to myself as I heard someone stirring in the bed opposite to the one I was laying on. Jack had sat up.

"Dude,"

He whispered, a blushed smile on his face.

"I kissed Liz again."

* Jack's P.O.V *

About an hour ago

"Cuddles usually help people stop crying."

I whispered to her with a guilty expression as I opened my arms. She smiled at me, one of those,

"you're such a fucking idiot of course I'll cuddle with you"

smiles that made me extremely happy. As she inched closer to me, she laid her head on my chest and laid her arms around my torso, and just as calmly as she rested her head, I ran my fingers through her hair and we talked quietly for a while...the way we had been for the past 2 days.

"Avocado is NOT a fruit. It doesn't even taste like a fruit."

I argued with Liz as she giggled at me, I assumed for getting so butthurt over avocados.

"Jack they have seeds."

She laughed, looking up at my from my chest. We were laying like a couple..I'd lay like this forever if I could though.

"So does a pomegranate."

She sat up and looked at me.

"Stop complicating it Jackrabbit."

She demanded, hitting me with a pillow. Damn, Matt & Jules slept through everything. Laughing, I grabbed the pillow from her and tossed it to the side. Liz's eyes grew wide as I grabbed her wrists, pinning her down and tickling her. Her giggle was the cutest thing ever.

"UNCLE!"

Liz forfeited, gasping for breathe as Iet her up. I smiled at her as she pressed her hand to her collarbones.

"You win this time."

She pouted playfully at me as I threw my fist into the air.

"Nah...I haven't won anything that good yet."

I played as Liz's cheeks began to burn.

"Well what is it that you'd like as a prize King Jackrabbit?"

She asked, laughing as she looked up at me...I thought for a moment.

She cried last time...is it really such a good idea?

But regardless, I pulled Liz by her sides onto my lap, causing her to blush. As she looked at me in confusion, I pulled again at her sides and kissed her again. Nothing slow, nothing intense.

Just a kiss.

And this time

She smiled and kissed me back.

About an hour later

"I kissed Liz again."

I said to Matt as he rubbed the sleepiness from his eyes.

"Seriously? Was she okay about it?"

He asked me, careful to be quiet & not move, for Julia's sake.

"Yep...and she kissed me back."

I told him, my heart racing as I recalled how soft her lips were.

"Get it Jack. You're like..her prince. It's like a fairy tale! Jack & the wee cock!"

Matthew mocked me, laughing at his own joke as I rolled my eyes. I laid back down with Liz, pulling her limp, sleep state body closer to me. She began to stir in her sleep, making me smile.

"Sshh...back to sleep Lizerd."

I whispered, kissing her forehead softly.
