Killer Queen|✔️ (Book 1)

26. Whose Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

"Did you guys use protection!?"
K: "We didn't have sex, mom!"
"Well, if you do, I have a coupon!"

      
We were awoken by his mom yelling and banging at the door. Kiwi sat up, throwing a thermos at the door, that had been sitting on the window sill.
I heard her heels click away down the hall as he pulled the blankets over his head and mumbled something about how irritating she was. I felt his warm skin on my back as he cuddled up against me, tangling his legs in mine and placing an arm around my stomach. That's what I missed. I missed how warm he was in the morning and how his skin felt like silk. I missed him just being there, knowing he wasn't with anyone else in the world but me. After sleeping without him for those two weeks, I went from fearing him coming anywhere near me, to needing to be about smothered by him to fall asleep; but it seemed like he felt the same way.
T: "Why is she ok with me staying here if she thinks we're dating? My mom would never let me have boyfriends in my room."
K: "I don't know...I guess if we use a condom, what's to say no to?"
T: "Did Alexis used to sleep here?"
K: "Sometimes."

I threw the blankets off and jumped out of the bed like it was on fire.
K: "Settle down! I got a whole new bed frame, mattress, sheets and comforter since she's been here. You're the only girl who's ever been in this bed."
I heard a laugh drop from my mouth, as I stared at him in complete and utter shock that he thought I was that stupid.
T: "How dumb do you think I am!? I'm sure you bring girls home all day, every day."
K: "I'm with you all day, every day! If I'm not with you in person, we're on the phone. When would I have time!? Just because it looks like I flirt with every girl in school, doesn't mean I sleep with them. They come on to me because they think that's what I want. So, I lead them on and cancel on them, which makes them go crazy and keep trying. Then I do the same thing to the next girl and the next, until it gets to be so many and confusing, that no one can keep track and I can keep up my reputation without actually having to do anything. I could count on one hand all the girls I've slept with and I wouldn't need every finger."
T: "I don't know a guy who has girls throwing themselves at him, that doesn't take advantage of it." K: "I don't think sex is a game, Taylor. Why do you think I'm such a pig!? That would be disgusting and completely disrespectful to make my best friend sleep in a bed where I fuck a bunch of meaningless bitches every night. I would never do that to you."
T: "You joke about sleeping with me all the time!"
K: "Yeah, but...it's not like it wouldn't mean something to me if it ever happened. Not that I want it to but...if someone had a gun to my head. No one is getting in this bed with me that isn't you. I thought you knew me better than that. Would you have some other guy in your bed and feel ok about it?"
T: "But you're not my boyfriend, so how is that the same thing?"
K: "Doesn't matter. If you were at some party and brought a guy home, would you have him stay over and not feel weird about it not being me? Then if anything happened, you not tell me about it?"
T: "...I don't think I could."
K: "Why?"
T: "...I guess some random person who means nothing to me doesn't deserve to sleep in the spot of my best friend."
K: "Exactly. Some parts of my life are too intimate to share with everyone, even if it looks like I don't care at school. My bed is only for you."
T: "...What happens when you get a real girlfriend and it's not mine anymore?"
He bit his lip and stared at me, like he was furious I'd asked that. I swear, it looked like his irises turned black for split second.
K: "I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
