Hitch Hiking • WHY DON'T WE [#1]

seven

I was the first one awake which kind of sucked because everyone else is sleeping so I'll have to be very quiet. Over the past week I've learned that if anyone disrupts the guys beauty sleep then they'll be pretty angry. They're so dramatic.

Of course whenever I walked into the kitchen I found that I wasn't the only one awake. On the counter in the middle of the kitchen sat Beatrice who was sucking faces with a shirtless Jack.

I fake cough, interrupting their make out session. Jack was the first to pull away and his eyes widen when he notices me. Beatrice gives me a sharp glare and if looks could kill I'd be dead right about now.

"Anslie I- we-" Jack stumbles over his words but Bea starts to speak.

"Way to go buzzkill." She rolls her eyes and jumps down off the counter. Bea smirks at Jack and fakes a yawn. "It's before 7am, I better get back to bed." She pushes past me and leaves but not before turning around and winking at Jack who stood with a flushed face.

"All I came in here for was food." I sigh and walk on the opposite side of the counter to where the cabinet of bowls was.

Jack still looked dumbfounded. "that was a mistake, I swear." He says joining me. I slightly inch away from him.

"No offense Jack, but I really don't care about your love life. Y'all could have been doing the dirty for all I care, as long as it isn't in places we eat our food or that my brother goes to. Keep it in your room."

"We weren't-"

"I don't care."
I singsong and continue making my cereal and sit down on the couch.

I wasn't exactly upset that I caught my best friend cheating on her boyfriend, but she still cheated and that's totally wrong. However, I'm not going to be the one to call her boyfriend and tell him. Beatrice may be my best friend but her mistakes are on her.

"Anslie can we please talk?" Jack asks sitting down beside me. I sigh and place another spoonful of Cheerios in my mouth.

"Sure."

"What happened in there was an accident. I forgot to.put on a shirt but I swear I just got up to get water and Bea was in there and then we just kind of started kissing." Jack trails off awkwardly.

"Jack, this is the last time I'm going to repeat it, okay?" he nods. "I do not care."

He looks a little relieved as I slowly say my words. "great, because I really like you."

This causes me to groan. All I want to do is finish my cereal, is that too much to ask?
"It's too early for this. Besides, we've only known each other a week. I'm not an expert on liking people but I think it takes longer than that to like someone."

Jack smiles, "that's your opinion and that's okay. In my opinion I like you and it isn't too soon."

"Jack listen, you're a great guy but I'm not exactly sure a relationship is what I'm looking for right now."

Jack's smile slowly fades but a small one is still there. "spend the day with me. It doesn't have to be a date or anything, but I mean it could be-" he pauses before quickly adding, "we can hang out as friends and get to know each other more."
