"hey hey hey!" Andrea shouted from downstairs. Jenn was here! I ran to the bathroom and brushed my fingers through my hair. There was a stain on my white t-shirt so I changed into a blue tank top. Jenn and Andrea were coming up the stairs two by two.
"Andrea I'm in Ricky's room!" Kian shouted to her. Jenn opened my text and slid her phone in her back pocket. So I got up and walked to Ricky's room.
"Hey guys." I said leaning in his doorway. They all said hey at separate times. "Just came to see who was here so...later."
"Bye Jc." Kian said looking at me and then at Jenn. Jenn made eye contact with me before I turned and left the room. As I was halfway down the hall I heard Jenn tell the three of them that she was going to the bathroom. Her feet pattering down the hall. As I got to my bedroom she turned me around and her lips crashed into mine.
"Jenn..." I pulled away slightly before wrapping my arm around the small of her back and taking in her beauty. I gently placed my lips back against hers and led her into my room. We sat down on my bed, which was really just a mattress on the floor.
"So Jc, I thought about what happened a lot and I thought about you and me and I want to be with you."
"Really?" I said a huge smile creeping on my face.
"Yes...because I like you enough to take the chance on our friendship. But, we can't go public yet."
"For how long?"
"Until we find out if there's really something here."
"Okay I can deal with that." I leaned in to kiss her again. She stopped me.
"I should go back to Ricky's room, me and Kian have to film." She got up and returned to Ricky's room. I wished she would've stayed, but decided that I needed to respect her wishes if I wanted this relationship to last.

A couple hours later, around midnight, I went downstairs to grab a snack and Jenn and Andrea were sprawled out across the couch. Andrea was asleep and Jenn was editing her video.
"hey" I said quietly.
"hey. whatcha doin'?" she asked. I sneaked up behind her and hung my head over hers.
"getting a snack, still editing?"
"yeah sadly."
"why don't you take a break? Come watch netflix with me." I suggested.
"I guessssss..." she replied. I leaned down and lightly kissed her cheek. She grabbed my hand and we went upstairs to watch a movie together. We sat in my bed eating chips watching The Hunger Games. As time passed on we ended up laying down with her head and her hand resting on my chest. I fell asleep soon after because I woke up with my laptop still open telling me that my playback had timed out. I should get up so no one see us, I thought, but laying there with my arm around Jenn so peaceful felt so right. The clock read 9:52, the boys wouldn't be awake for a few more hours anyways. So I pulled Jenn in closer to me and went back to bed.
"YOOOOOOOO!" Ricky shouted coming into my room. I gasped when I realized Jenn was in bed with me. I quickly sat up and looked to my side, no Jenn. I flopped back onto my bed with relief.
"We're going out to breakfast." Jenn said poking her head into my room.
"Ok just give me a minute to get ready." I said smiling at her. Ricky left closing the door behind him. None of the clothes in my closet were very nice so I had to make due. I threw on my favorite t-shirt and a pair of khakis along with my black VANS.
"Hurry up!" Kian shouted up the stairs.
"Ready!" I yelled back with toothpaste dripping out of my mouth. The click of the door open made me move even faster. Jenn slid in the bathroom and stood there laughing at my mess. I rinsed my mouth and kissed her.
"It may have looked funny but tastes good."
"Minty fresh." she said.
"Shut up." I said smiling, "Let's go."
