Plot Twist

Chapter 3: Confusion

Ryder's POV:

I watched her breath slow down until she finally fell asleep in my arms.

I played with her hair. It's really soft.

Two weeks of no contact with Jaci was the longest two weeks ever.

I texted her but she never answered, she saw them but just left me on read.

I missed her so much.

I've gotten so used to her touch I started to crave it.

I know I shouldn't crave her but I do.

I love her smile and laugh and attitude. Man she's amazing.

She's mad at me though... she was jealous of Kayla... who's her friend.

Kayla kept touching me... and I know Jaci saw. She thinks I broke my promise. But I didn't. I haven't kissed anyone or fucked anyone other then her.

Kayla keeps touching me and trying to kiss me and it's frustrating.

I can't lose Jaci.

But I don't know how to keep her.

And this guy... who the fuck is he? He just showed up...

She's mine.

Wow I just said that...

I mean she technically is mine....

I'm turning into a girl... what the fuck is wrong with me?

I kissed her head and whispered, "Goodnight Babygirl." Then, I made myself fall asleep with my arms wrapped around her.

•••

I heard two alarms go off at the same time. Weird. Then I remembered... Jaci is here. And we have school...

I turned both alarms off which were our phones that were on my dresser next to my bed.

I was about to move when Jaci grabbed my arm and cuddled closer to me.

No girl has ever done this to me before. I've never cuddled with anyone else but Jaci and of course my mom when I was little but that's different.

She makes me feel things I've locked away.

"Good morning sunshine." I kissed her head.

"No." Was all she had to say to make me realize were not going to school.

She nuzzled her face into my bare chest.

"Okay okay, no school. I get it." I laughed.

She jumped up.

"Shit. Shit. Shit." She was pacing.

"You're so fucking cute." She froze. Did I just say that out loud? Fuck.

She just stared at me.

And then she spoke... "you're a goofball." She crawled on top of me, straddling my hips.

We smiled at each other for a couple of seconds before I realized we were both bare...

She only had my shirt on and I just had the blanket.

"Mmm" I hummed in her ear.

She moaned and shivered as I rubbed down her spine.

"Ryder..." She squealed. I started laughing.

I forgot she was ticklish... I couldn't stop laughing. The moment was ruined...

"It's not funny." She pouted, with her hands in my chest and her face nuzzled into my neck.
