Not Just a Crush (Jarry)

Chapter XIV: Not Just a Flashback (Part 1)

Jade's POV: 

Mmm...these sheets feel so nice. It feels so silky and smooth! I don't remember having silky sheets? Wait a minute...

I open my eyes and immediately realized that I wasn't in my room. I look around and I saw that I was in a different room. In fact...I was in a different complex.

What the hell?! Where am I?! Silky sheets? A furry duvet? Soft pillows with a letter E on it? A big round bed? Am I on a canopy bed? What is going on?!?!

I started freaking out until I fell off the bed. Ow...

"Jade?!" I hear a voice say. Uh oh...I need to defend myself. I look around to find the nearest object I can protect myself with and I saw an umbrella and I grabbed it. 

"Don't come near me! I have an umbrella!" I yelled, pressing the button to open up the umbrella.

"Jade, calm down! It's me, El!" I hear the voice say, lifting the umbrella to reveal Eleanor. Oh...thank God!

"Oh," I mumbled. I got up with the help of Eleanor and we both walked to her table. On the table, I saw biscuits and tea and I was abruptly awakened with excitement. I quickly take my seat and I start munching on the biscuits.

"Oh Jade," Eleanor laughed. She poured me a cup of tea and I thanked her. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling good...though...How did I get here?" I asked.

"Well...I was out shopping, and when I was walking back to school, I heard a bar cheer your name. I went to check the bar to see if you were there, and I walked in and I saw you dancing on the pole with nothing but your bra and panties! You were pretty wasted," Eleanor explained.

"Oh, my!" I gasped. Honestly, I'm not surprised that I did that but I don't want Eleanor to know about my drinking habits, so I just went along with it.

"So I had to grab you out of there, but I couldn't bring you back to school with your undergarments because I couldn't find your clothes at the bar so I took you into a private area and put on my new pajamas on you that you're wearing right now," Eleanor continued. I looked down and I saw I was wearing her new pajamas. They were pink and very silky. It felt nice but I don't think it would suit me. "Then, I snuck you into my room and tucked you into my bed. I slept on the couch because I wanted to give you enough space for you to sleep." Uhh...that round bed I slept on was so big, I'm pretty sure the both of us would've fit on it just fine.

"Wait, why didn't you take me back to my dorm?" I asked.

"I wanted to but you kept complaining that you didn't want to go back," Eleanor replied. 

"Oh."

"Why didn't you want to go back?" Eleanor asked, sipping her cup of tea.

"Well...it's a long story," I said.

"You don't have to say it! If you're not comfortable telling me, it's fine. I understand."

"Yeah, maybe later," I said, sipping my tea. Eleanor nodded. It was awkward silence for a moment, except the tea-sipping and the air conditioning running. "So, you guys get a one bedroom dorm?" I asked, breaking the awkward silence.

"Yeah, it's pretty nice! Very spacious and we get a kitchen and bathroom to ourselves too!" Eleanor commented.

"And a big window too!" I pointed out. "With a really nice view..." I looked outside and it was basically the view of the city outside of the campus. I mean, the view isn't bad at Sony. But this view...oh my!

"Definitely," Eleanor said. Then, it was another few minutes of awkward silence again. What is with this awkward silence? I need to think of something to keep the conversation going. Think Jade, think!
