Anastasia • Jariana Story

I rolled around in bed. I forgot justin was here. He wakes up.

"Hey, what time is it?" He groans, stretching and rubbing his eyes.

His voice is so sexy and raspy.

"It's 9pm." I said, looking at the clock.

"Shit shit shit." He mumbled, getting up and putting his shirt on.

"Are you okay?"

"My parents are going to kill me. I was supposed to leave at 7."

"Oh."

"See you monday, ari." He says.

I nodded, rubbing my eyes. He leaves and I lay back down. I decided to just continue sleeping. I put my underwear and my pants back on.

"Ariana?" I heard a voice say.

I look at the door and my mom stood there. I sat up.

"Can we talk?" Mom says.

"Um, sure." I said.

"Are you and Justin together?" She asked.

"No." I bluntly say.

It was a friends with benefits type of thing. We weren't dating.

"Oh. I heard you guys um... You know what."

"Oh." I nervously say.

"are you guys just... Friends with benefits type thing?"

"Yeah." I mumbled.

"He can be your true love." Mom says.

I shot my head up. "What?"

"Your dad and I used to be friends back in high school. But you know, we did it once we wouldn't stop doing it. We became friends with benefits until... i got pregnant with you one day. I told your father and we took care of each other and our unborn baby. We eventually fell in love and a few years after you were born, we got married."

"Awwwwwww." I said.

"But he can't find out about your other life." Mom says and I nodded. "Stay protected, too. Having a child is tough."

I nodded, smiling awkwardly.

Mom leaves the room. I sighed and laid back down. That was so awkward.
