The Middle (GxG) (Sequel to The Beginning)

Chapter 36

-JAMIE'S P.O.V-

"What're you doing?" I question Lynn as she climbs on the couch and lays down.
"Uhh. 'Doghoused.' In your exact word"
    I laugh lightly.
"You know.. you're not the brightest, Ly."
   She shoots straight up and snaps her head at me.
"What does that mean?"
"I was kidding."
"I don't believe you."
"Can I see it?"
"See what?"
"Don't play stupid. Let me see my pic."
    Her face instantly turns a deep shade of red.
"It's mine."
"I get that. But if I don't like it." I raise my eyebrow. "I'm giving you another chance for a better one."
   I swear the room got a million degrees hotter by just her blushing.
"You're just fucking with me."
"Not. Besides, I already know you be sent it to all emails and back up accounts you have."
"How.."
"Ly, you think I'm that stupid?"
    Her silence answers me.
"Fine." I say and walk over to change. Clothes still kind of damp.
   I feel her eyes burning a hole in the back of my head... nope. Ass.
"Do you have to constantly stare at my ass?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Cause it's mine."
"You're really funny." I roll my eyes, which she can't see as I pull my boxers on.
"Wasn't there a no clothing rule?"
"You're over there. I'm over here. No one to enforce the rules."
"You need someone to punish you, is that what I'm hearing?"
"NO. LYNN. NO."
"I think that's what I heard."
"Fucking hell." I take my boxers back off, and my spots bra. I turn around.
"Happy?"
"Very."
    She starts to walk over to me but I quickly climb into the bed.
"Babe. I'm sorry."
"For?"
"Everything."
"I had fun today, Ly."
"You did?"
"Yeah. I did."
    She grabs her phone and hands it to me.
"What?"
"You can look at the pic. It's not like I was going to keep it. I have the real thing, right here."
   I smile. Unlocking her phone.
"You know... a lot of people get pissed that their partner knows every password to everything."
"I have nothing to hide. And for the record, I know all your passwords too."
"But yet we lock our phones from everyone else."
"Yeah. Weird."
"We work tomorrow..." I sigh.
"Yeah. But at least we didn't get to today. Alex was pretty nice to stay closed for today."
"Tuesday we have off though, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"How about we make it more.. official..."
"Like?"
"A linked bankaccount. You offered.. a few weeks ago.. I was just thinking..."
"Yeah, we can."
"And if you really want to, you can have a separate savings or whatever and I could too."
"I don't need a separate. I have nothing to hide. I only take out money for you to begin with so."
"Yeah. Same here."
    She strips and climbs into bed next to me.
"Been a really weird day." I say.
"You think?"
"Yeah... here." I press a kiss to her lips and take a selfie of us, her not knowing.
   When I pull back, I hand her back her phone.
"Did you even look at the pic?"
"No. Did you?"
    She looks at me confused before unlocking her phone to a pic of us kissing.
"It's cute."
"I tried."
"Delete. Delete. Delete. Delete. Delete. And deleted." She kisses my cheek.
"Only naked Jamie I care to see is the one I can touch." She says as her hands quickly grabs my ass and rolls me on top of her.
   I giggle but get cozy easily in the nap of her neck. ...then I remember.
"I don't want to go to school tomorrow."
"Have to."
"What will Miss Morris think? I mean it's not everyday an epileptic student gets a nosebleed and crashes to the floor."
"We'll deal with it when we get there. I'm always here for you every step of the way. Surely you must know that by now."
"I forgot earlier."
    She laughs knowing I was kidding.
"I don't know, Ly..."
"I've got you, love."
   She presses a kiss to my forehead.
"Jamie." She whispers.
"Don't you fucking start."
"Jamie."
"No."
"Your heart beat grows slower. And breaths shallow. You would be lying if you told me you weren't tired."
"Nno."
"Jamie."
    She pulls the cover over us, wrapping her arms around me tightly.
"Jamie."
"Nuh."
"Jamie."
"I don't want to.. I don't want to leave you."
"Jamie."
    She's right.. everything in me is shutting down.. slowly...
"Jamie."
"Please.. no"
"Jamie." Her whispers slowly pushing me into the arms of sleep.
"Jamie."
    I take a deep breath, trying to fight..
"Jamie."
"I love you...Ly." I barely get out as she pushes me adrift with slumber.
"I love you too, J."
    No dreams. Just blissful sleep.
