Meant To Be: A Jerika Story

Chapter Twenty One

Next Morning-

Erika POV: I wake up feeling suffocated. Confused, I open my eyes and realize why I felt that way. Jake was literally sleeping on top of me, his body pressed against mine.
"Get off," I groan as I attempt to push him off of me.
"Stopppp, this is comfortable," he whines, holding on to my body.
"But you're so heavy," I say with a giggle. Suddenly, I grab him and turn us in a way so that I'm sitting on top.
"Now the tables are turned," I say; smirking. He finally opens his eyes.
"Can't say I don't like where this is going," he replies as he snakes one arm up my thigh. We start to lean in until we're suddenly interrupted.
"Um what are you guys doing?" Shit. I had forgotten about Chance and Anthony.
"Heyyy," I say; turning to face them as I got off of Jake. Anthony scratches his head. "
"What is this," he asks, moving his arms at us. "What is what?" replies Jake.
"You know what." "I really don't."
Anthony rolls his eyes.
"Fine, play dumb. What do I care."
Chance then walks up to Jake.
"That's my boy," he says, giving him a fist bump. I groan.
"We just slept together, that's it." Chance raises his eyebrows.
"Ugh, obviously not like that."
"Sleeping with any of you would be the same to me as sleeping with Jake." What a lie. Chance chuckles.
"Ok Erika, if you really feel that way then sleep with Anthony tonight."
"That's not really necessary," Jake quickly says. "Why not? It'll just be some friendly bed sharing between two friends," says Anthony. "Just like you and Erika. Right?"
"Yeah, I really don't see the problem," says Chance.
"It's just weird," says Jake.
"So you're admitted what you and Erika are doing is weird?" asks Chance.
I groan. "Fine, I'll sleep with Anthony if you dumbasses will leave me alone." "Perfect," says Chance; grinning.
"This is so stupid," says Jake with a frown.

That night-

Erika POV: All of Team Ten was huddled on the couch together, enjoying the last few minutes of the movie "Ride Along". As the credits begin to roll, Anthony turns to me. "Ready for bed, Erika?" he says; wiggling his eyebrows. I sigh.
"I guess. Just let me change into my pj's." I leave to go to my room and start to pull on my sweatpants. Suddenly; I stop and think. If I was going to have to do this, I might as well have some fun with it. I ditch the sweats and search for something a lot more sexy.
"Perfect!" I think as I spot a silky lace crop top and some matching shorts. Okay, time to sleep," I say as I walk back into the living room. Everyone stares at me.
"Woah, woah, woah, you are not going to sleep with him wearing that. Absolutely not," says Jake, his eyes roaming my body. This was exactly what I had wanted; for Jake to get jealous. It somehow reaffirmed that he did actually care about me.
"I'm super fine with it," says Anthony.
"Well I'm not," says Jake. "
"Who cares what you think? It's not like your her boyfriend or anything," Chance says with a grin.
"Well, Anthony isn't her boyfriend either. If they're going to sleep together then we're going to have to be in the room too."
""Alright, that's fine I guess," replies Chance. We all go to chanthony's room.
"We'll sleep there," Anthony says to me; pointing to the bottom bunk of the bunk bed. Jake shakes his head.
"That's so small! You'll be way too close to each other."
"I think it's more than enough room," says Chance.
We both go to lay down when Jake suddenly intervenes and tosses some pillows down the middle of the mattress.
