"Friends"

"Friends" Chapter 7

VALERIE'S POV

I woke up to Jimmy making a sharp turn. He will always be a horrible driver.

He looked over at me and smiled.

"I'm sorry for waking you up, We should be back in the city in two hours."

I sat up and crossed my legs.

I reached into the back seat and grabbed the SNL sweatshirt. I covered my bare legs and scooted closer to Jimmy.

He grabbed my hand and held it in his.

It was all still new to me... Literally just a few days ago, we were best friends and we would make fun of each other. Now, I can't wait till I can kiss him again.

I reached over to the radio and changed the station.

I heard Willie Nelson's "Always on my mind".

"Oh I love this song..." I mumbled to myself. I turned it up and leaned into Jimmy.

"And maybe I didn't treat you

Quite as good as I should have

If I made you feel second best

Girl I'm sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind"

I felt Jimmy hold my hand a little tighter. He leaned down and kissed me on my forehead.

I watched cars go by and I honestly still couldn't believe that was with Jimmy. I smiled to myself and just closed my eyes.

I felt Jimmy let go of my hand and the car came to a halt. I opened my eyes and saw the bright lights of a parking garage.

"We're here, babe."

I sat up and rubbed my face. He got out of the car and grabbed our bags.

"Are you going to take me to my apartment?" I got out of the car and closed the door.

"Are you kidding?" He giggled. "I want you here with me..." He walked over to me and kissed me on my nose. "Lets go!"

We walked into his building and I watched him walk ahead of me as he carried our bags.

Damn... He's really cute...

We made it to the elevators and he clicked the button.

"I'm hungry? Are you?"

I nodded my head and rubbed my eyes again. I was still half asleep.

"Oh my gash..." He smiled a huge smile at me. "You're so cute when you're sleepy..."

I blushed as we walked into the elevator.

We got into his apartment and he set our bags down in his room.

I wandered around and ended up sitting on the couch looking at some of his magazines he had.

He always had the most ridiculous kinds of magazines... Interior Design, Outdoor, and even a magazine filled with crazy things he could never ever afford.

I always found it so weird that he loved these... I looked at one of them while I waited for him to come out.

"So!" I heard him run into the living room and jump onto the couch.

"What do you want to eat?" He sat really close to me and I set the magazine down.

"Whatever you want... I'm kind of in the mood for Indian food... is that weird?"

"Never weird... Indian food is the best!" He reached over to the phone and dialed a number. "I know what to order... I'll be right back." He wandered into the kitchen and I heard him ordering the food.
