Bad Baby

10

It felt such relief when lunch hour finally rolled around, and along with other Uni students, I was able to leave.

Miles hadn't stopped staring at me in the hallways, and the few times I had made eye contact with him during the day, he had given me a disturbing and disgustingly knowing smirk.

Becky and I had talked during a short break between classes, but I couldn't even concentrate properly, knowing her boyfriend had knowledge of my nudes.

"So, are you and Jake a thing, or no?" She had grinned, nudging me playfully. I had managed a small smile, "why would we be?" I had been curious as to why she'd think that. Maybe she had seen-

"A friend of mine told me he saw you two making out," she had smirked, while I had simply raised my brows a bit with an awkward giggle, "oh, I mean, it was just a kiss?" Lies, Isis, lies. "Apparently you two left together?"

"He drove me to my apartment," I had clarified, not needing to make a huge show out of this because Becky would surely tell Miles about this, and then Jacob would be the first to find out about the nudes from him; I was sure about that.

I wanted Jacob to hear it from me first, if things escalated to it. Still, I didn't feel comfortable talking about it, just having wanted to leave it all behind. Unless I was absolutely positive that Miles and Noah would start spreading them here and trying to ruin my life again, I wanted to keep it to myself.

It wasn't that I didn't trust Jacob, I just didn't know how it'd make him think of me and right now, I didn't want to jeopardise what we might have going on.

"Sure," she had chuckled with a playful roll of her eyes, definitely not buying it, "you would be really good for him, though. His last girlfriend was such a bitch and used him; we all hated her".

My brows had furrowed a little, wanting to know more. But it had been time to enter our classes, so I had no time.

I was definitely going to ask her the next chance I got.

"Hey," Jacob gave me a happy smile as I walked up to him just outside of the Uni gates. He was smoking a cigarette, while quickly running a hand through his hair.

"Hi," I replied, not knowing if it was appropriate for me to ask him about his ex. If she had really been a bitch and used him, asking him about it would be a total mood ruiner, and I didn't want to make him feel bad.

Together, with casual conversation, we made our way towards the small pizza parlour we had gone to last Friday. The weather was extremely lovely, with a nice summer breeze and the sun shining.

We had sat down at the same table, and ordered a large vegetarian pizza to share.

"So, can I come sleep at yours?" I asked him, taking my second slice. He seemed surprised that I had actually even considered it. Of course I had, though. I liked spending time with him, and since I hadn't seen his apartment, I was curious. There was also the factor of him and I being alone, that interested me a lot.

"Yeah, of course," he gave me a kind and attractive smile, "I'm sorry if I messed up this morning, I hadn't meant it in a dirty way, really. We could order Chinese, or something, and just watch a movie. Or talk, whatever you want". The 'dirty way' definitely did sound appealing.

I grinned a little, knowing that there would be making-out involved. I felt like it was too soon to go any further than that, though, even more now that he seemed so nervous about it.

"In a dirty way?" I repeated his words, making a small and adorable blush find itself onto his cheeks. "I, uh- I don't want you to think that that's what I'm after," he told me, lowering his voice as he glanced around a bit.
