It was 6pm & I was home alone.
Natalie was spending the night at a friends, so I had the whole night to myself.
I had no idea what to do.
I decided to tidy the house of a bit, so I did so.
Things like; doing the dishes, laundry, picking up toys and what not.
About an hour later I was done, and now back bored.
The sight of Jacob's disappointed face from the other day kept coming across my mind for some reason.
A part of me wanted to talk to him, but another part of me didn't.
He's your best friend, you have to.
My conscious was telling. I sighed, because I knew it was right.
I pick up my phone and click on the contacts app. I scroll until I his his name;
"Bestoo 🔐🤞💙"
I called him.
It rang a couple of times, before he picked up.
"Uh hey Nicole, what's up?" I heard his deep voice say into the phone.
"Um are you busy right now?" I asked, nervously biting my lip.
"No not really, why?" He asks.
"Well I, just wanted you to come over so we could, you know talk." I say, swallowing the small lump in my throat.
"Oh, um of course, I'll be right over." He replied.
"Cool see you soon." I say quickly, hanging up.
I head to my room to go change out of my cleaning clothes.
I just wore a crop top & some sweatpants and threw my hair in a high ponytail.
A few minutes I hear my doorbell ring, I figured it was Jacob. He doesn't live that far away so that's why he got here so fast.
I jog to the bottom of the stairs to answer the door.
When I open the door, I see him standing there in a black tee and some basketball shorts.
"Hey, come in." I say, clearing my throat.
"Hey." He says awkwardly as walks in.
"So... we need to talk." I say sitting down, while patting the seat, signaling him to sit next to me.
"Yeah we do." He says, as he plops next to me.
It silence for minutes until I finally spoke.
"Well, I think that we shouldn't let what happened between us get in the way our friendship."
"Definitely." He said.
"But.." he started.
"But what?" I finished.
"Nothing... never mind." He said quietly.
"No Jacob say it." I insist.
He took a deep breath then spoke.
"Did it um... you know...mean anything to you?" He asks.
I was shock that he asked that. I didn't really think about that. I guess I just shut out my feelings and focused on how much I thought it was wrong.
I mean... did It mean anything?
"I don't know." I said, looking down.
"Did it to you?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrow.
"I don't really know either." He says, scratching the back of his neck.
"I mean I liked it." I said, regretting I did because my cheeks flushed red.
His eyes widen.
"Same here." He said, causing us to laugh.
I love how we're so honest with each other.
"But on a real note, let's just stay as best friend right now." I suggest.
"Yeah, let's do that." He replies.
I smile, knowing yes he understands.
I scoot closer to him so that I could hug him.
"Best friends." I whisper into his ear.
"Best friends." I whisper back.
