LILYS POV:
I woke up in a he'd that wasn't mine. My head was pounding, and I felt sick to my stomach. I looked over and saw Vic sound asleep, the blanket covering his body up to his waist, and he was shirtless. I panicked. I rolled out of bed, almost falling on the floor.
Oh my God. Did I have sex with him?
For some reason, it took me 10 minutes to realize I was still fully clothed, accept for my shoes, which were thrown by the door. Vic kicked the blanket off, still sleeping and I saw he was wearing sweats. I let out a heavy sigh of relief.
I'd heard of this before. Waking up, and asking yourself, what happened last night? It was just a simple case of beer fear.
I grabbed my shoes, and silently slipped out of the room, closing the door behind me. I tiptoed down the hallway, and past the kitchen when the door to Julliettes room opened.
Julliette came walking out, still in the clothes she'd slept in. Her hair had been pulled into a high ponytail, and she'd put on a pair of black Ugg boots.
I ducked inside a door, before she could see me. I listened to her footsteps as she walked into the kitchen, flipping the light switch.
The room I was in was dark, except a little light shining through double doors. I looked around as my eyes adjusted, and saw a sleeping figure laying in a huge bed.
I crept up to the bed, and saw it was Jaime, sleeping soundlessly. I tripped over something and fell to the floor with a loud thud. I froze, waiting for Jaime to sit up and ask what the hell I was doing in his room.
He just tossed a little, and then the rustling of his blankets stopped.
I got up off the floor slowly, trying not to wake him. Trying to kill time as I waited for Julliette to go back to her room, I quietly walked to the double doors, which were on the other side of the bed. I moved the thick blanket hanging over the doors out of the way, and looked outside. The view pretty, looking down onto a park. The park was huge, and filled with people. The building was super high, so the view of the sky was pretty.
I heard rustling from the bed again, and dove as silently as possible on the floor. I heard Jaimes feet hit the floor and his footsteps as he walked out of his room.
"Fuck." I said under my breathe.
Jaime was standing right outside the door, saying, "Any idea why Lily is hiding out in my bedroom?"
"Fuck!" I said again, silently punching the floor.
Honestly, I didn't want to face Julliette and everybody. I thought it was fucking weird that the guys knew me for a whopping total of 8 hours, and ended up spending the night in Vics bed. Fully clothed, I might add.
I contemplated what I should do. I could:
A- Stay here, and let them find me. But when they found me, laying on the floor next to Jaimes bed, I know I'd get a series of odd looks, and 100 questions.
Or I could:
B- Just go out there and face them, and tell the why I was "hiding out in Jaimes room." At least they'd hear my side, before making assumptions.
I decided to go with Option B. I got up off the floor, not even bothering to be quiet, since they knew I was here. I put my shoes on without lacing them, and walked to the door. Taking a deep breathe, I opened the door, and Julliette was standing there, staring at me like I was crazy.
"Wha- uh.. What are you doing?" She asked, smiling at me.
Thats a good sign, right?
"Uh..." I didn't know what to say, really.
Oh, nothing, just taking a friendly nap on the floor next to this strange mans bed. Very comfortable. Gotta go. See ya.
No, I couldn't say that. But the smart ass in me wanted to.
"Wel- Uhm.. I-.." I looked down at the floor. Julliette began to laugh.
"Look, Lily." She said, between laughs. "If you're going to spend the night, the least you could do is stay for breakfast instead of sneaking into Jaimes room so that I wouldn't see you."
I looked at her. Jaime came around the corner, eating yogurt. Leaning into me, he whispered in my ear, "Bedrooms are for sleeping, and sex. If you want to be in there, all you gotta do is ask." He slapped me ass, lightly, and walked past me into his room. I turned to say something to him, bit he beat me to it.
"You're not even going to ask me to dinner first?" He asked, putting a spoonful of yogurt in his mouth. He winked at me, and kicked the door closed with his foot.
I looked back at Julliette, who shook her head, and put her arm around me.
"Jaime is what we call-" She thought for a minute, thinking of the right wording. "Gifted." She laughed, and walked me to the kitchen. "French toast?" She asked, pulling a loaf of bread from the cabinet.
my stomach growled loudly, and I looked at Julliette through my eyelashes.
"I guess I have my answer." She smiled, shoving a spoonful of peanut butter in her mouth. I sat down at the island, checking my phone. No texts, no calls.
"So, why did you feel it necessary to sneak into Jaimes room?" Julliette asked, cracking eggs into a bowl.
"I didn't want you guys to think that I.. you know.."
"Slept with him?" Julliette finished for me. I nodded. "First of all, if you did in fact sleep with him, whose god damn business is it but yours and his?" She dipped a piece of bread into the eggs. "Second, not a single fuck was given by me. Third-" She laid the bread into a pan, and sprinkled cinnamon on top. "Vic isn't that type. And neither are you."
I watched her repeat her french toast making process.
"Wait, what do you mean, neither am I?" I asked.
She turned around and leaned, resting her elbows on the counter in front of me.
"Let me tell you a story, Lily. Once upon time, in the far, far away kingdom of, I don't know... Bum fucked Egypt, there was a girl who grew up pretty much without her mom and dad. Lets say her name was... Girl. Girl turns 14, and poof. Mommy and Daddy are back. Girl grows really close to daddy, but Daddy dies, and Mommy goes crazy. Girl learns not to trust a single fucking person. But girl eventually learns that not everybody is bad, so girl developes a gift. She can read people the the sunday morning newspaper."
I sat there confused.
"So, " I said. "What does that have to do with me?"
"Virgin." Julliette said, flipping her french toast.
"What?" I asked.
"You're a virgin. Am I wrong?"
I shook my head.
"Hey, don't get me wrong. Being your age, and still a virgin is great. I was a virgin until about 2 weeks ago."
"Can we not have this conversation?" I asked, feeling my face get hot. She laughed, and went back to her french toast.
"So, you and Vic?" She asked, her back turned to me.
"What about us?" I said.
"You like him?"
"He's cool." I smiled.
"Y'all are going to date. I know it."
I didn't say anything. Just watched as she finished the first batch of french toast, and put it on a plate in front of me.
