Reckless 2

Chapter 4

I was at Matt´s apartment, I knew that. The guy next to me was named Jacob, or something. I wasn´t sure. That part scared me. I realized I was wearing only underwear and panicked even more. Everyone else around me were luckily still asleep, Jacob included. We were lying so close to each other I was scared to even move at all. I tried to get up from the couch without waking him up.

“Hey, what are you doing?” He whispered and frightened me a bit.

“Sorry, didn´t mean to wake you up.” I apologized.

“It´s alright, I should get home anyway.” He said.

“I just have to ask, and this is really embarrassing, did anything happen last night, more than talking?” I asked him, and felt more uncomfortable than ever. He chuckled.

“No nothing happened. We just fell asleep after talking.” He said. I felt so relieved I almost felt like hugging him, but stopped myself.

“Oh thank god!” I exclaimed but tried to be quiet. He looked confused.

“Oh I´m sorry, but I have a boyfriend.” I said, and felt guilty.

“No need to worry, we didn´t do anything.” He assured me. We both got out of the couch and put on clothes, we tried to be as careful as we could, since there was people all over the place, sleeping heavily. We got to the front door and he put on his shoes.

“Well I had a great time last night.” He said and smiled.

“Me too, or well the things I remember.” I said and almost blushed.

“Yeah you seemed to be really enjoying yourself Alison.” He said and laughed.

“I bet I was really embarrassing Jacob.” I said.

“It´s Jason, and no you weren´t.” He said and smirked.

“Oh my god, so sorry!” I said, definitely blushing this time. I felt so stupid.

“It´s okay. Well I need to go, see you!” He said and left. I sneaked into Matt´s bedroom, luckily he was there alone, and so I crawled down beside him. I couldn´t come home to Jc feeling like this. I sent him a text saying I was at Matt´s, so he wouldn´t worry too much.

A few hours later I woke up because Matt kept poking me in the side. I rubbed my eyes and looked at him.

“Well hello sleepy head.” He said and laughed.

“Hey, I woke up hours ago, I just went back to sleep.” I defended myself.

“Where did you sleep? Cause I know I went in here alone last night.” He said.

“Out on your couch, with a guy.” I said. “No nothing happened.”  I added before he could open his mouth.

“Alison Andrews I really hope you´re speaking the truth. No cheating on my couch.” He said and pointed his finger at me.

“No! I could never do that to Jc. And speaking of Jc, I should go home.” I said and suddenly remembered that I hadn´t talked to him since last night, except my quick text. He nodded and understood exactly why I needed to go home. I snuck out since the others were still sleeping, that was Matt´s thing to handle. I hurried home to catch Jc before he was going to work. Before I went inside I took a deep breath, I knew he would get mad. And I was just about to see how mad.

“Jc are you home?” I yelled. Not even a second later I saw him walking out from the kitchen. He didn´t exactly look happy.

“A text? Really Ali, that´s all I get after you staying away all night?” He said upset.

“I forgot okay! I had so much fun yesterday so I didn´t think about it. And I didn´t really plan on staying over there either. But I missed you though.” I said and smiled.

“I fucking missed you too, I thought something fucking happened to you when you didn´t come home. I fucking hate letting you go alone drinking.” He said, raising his voice.

“I´m sorry okay. We just fell asleep and I forgot.” I said, feeling my head pounding. I hated having a hangover.

“So, did anything happen? Is that why you didn´t come home, cause you were with some guy?” He said, stepping closer. I immediately felt guilty, though, really I shouldn´t. Nothing happened.

“No! Jc no nothing happened I promise you! I would never do that to you.” I assured him desperately.

“You already have once.” He said and stared at me.

“Oh come on, Jc that was years ago!” I said and started to get angry. That was so low of him to talk about Bradley.

“Fucking Bradley.” He muttered.

“Stop talking about him, it´s not about him! Nothing happened, end of story.” I said and started walking away when he grabbed my wrist.
“Ali, if I found out that you´ve been hiding anything, it´s the end of this story.” He said and walked out of the apartment, slamming the door. I threw my bag at the floor in frustration. God he´s so annoying and just overprotecting. My headache got worse and I just felt sick so I went into the bedroom and literally just fell down on the bed and didn´t have any plans on moving away from it for hours. Because why bother? Jc was fucking pissed and I was pissed, it didn´t help that we both were so stubborn.

I woke up and realized my headache was gone. I sat up, not knowing what time it was or what was going on. I looked at the clock on my bedside table, apparently I had fallen asleep because it was almost 6pm. I still had on the dress from yesterday so I walked into the bathroom to take a shower, I felt so gross. I washed of my makeup and then put on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. I walked out to the living room and saw Jc sitting in the sofa, with his phone in his hand.

“Oh, you´re home.” I whispered, I wasn´t sure he would hear me but he turned around and looked at me.

“Yeah, I came home an hour ago, I didn´t want to wake you up so.” He said. I sat down on the other side of the couch and brought up my knees and put my chin on them.

“I´m sorry.” He said and broke the silence. I looked at him, but he wasn´t looking at me.

“Jc, I am sorry too.” I said and just wished they could forget it.

“You don´t really have anything to apologize for. Sorry I got mad, but you have to realize that I was worried. I need my baby in bed with me.” He said and finally met my eyes.

“I won´t do it again okay.” I said and gave him a little smile.

“Okay.” He said.

“Look at us, all grown up without screaming at each other. Well except before.” I said and chuckled.

“Well I can´t really stay mad at my baby for a long time.” He said and opened his arms for me. I crawled over to him and threw my arms around him.

“We shouldn´t fight like this before Paris.” He said and kissed my head.

“Then I have to tell you what happened last night.” I said and didn´t want to hide anything from him. I sat up and looked at him.

“I fell asleep with a guy on Matt´s couch.” I said rapidly.   

“Did anything happen?” He said and clenched his jaw.

“No, nothing happened I promise. I didn´t even remember is name.” I said and felt embarrassed.

“Just how much did you have to drink exactly?” He said and looked worried. I shrugged.

“Babe don´t drink so much without me again. Only with me, so you can giggle, kiss and dance with me.” He said and laughed.

“Well now that you mentioned it.” I said and straddled him. He smirked and I leaned forward to kiss him. Oh we are one messy couple, I thought to myself. But I wouldn´t want to be with anyone else than him.
