More Than Neighbors - JM

He Knows Me|20

While kicking my shoes out, I remove my jacket and throw my bag on my bar. I do have a proper dining table but the bar is were I spend most of the time. Eating breakfast and dinner feels really lonely, being all alone in this way too big apartment for just myself. So my bar, that's across my kitchen island, makes me less loner to sit at. Imagine eating pasta at my dining table with 5 empty chairs. I open my fridge and welcome the cold air in my flushed face. I get a bottle of cold water and walk towards my shower. As I look at my clean bed, I refuse to jump right on top of it and pass out. But I have to shower and get ready to have dinner next door. And as I glance down at my phone I see I'm also in a slight hurry.
Have I ever been into Jonah's place? I curse as I step into the shower and feel the water being way too hot for my flaming body. I've never been to my boyfriends house before? What a fucking shame.

I'm wearing a comfortable pair of fleared pants with a long sleeve shirt. I'm still on my socks, it's like two steps away from my door. My hair is still damp and my makeup less head looks into the mirror. I hear my phone ringing in my bag and shoot my head over to my counter. Shoot! I almost forgot my damn phone. I walk back to see who's calling me. Grabbing it, I flinch, feeling my breathe hitch. It's Archie. The fact he didn't block me or something surprises me. That would be such a typical thing for him to do. I hesitate if I should answer or not. But I decide to let it ring, fuck that. I'm definitely not letting my night getting ruined by my ex boyfriend. I did choose a pretty set of underwear, you never what happens after dinner. Good for you Ruby! Take your mind off of it!

"Good evening, how was work?" Jonah smiles as he opens the door for me.
"Good, it was crammed as always, but good" I smile and a strong scent of garlic creeps into my nose. As I step further into Jonah's apartment, I do notice i've never been here before. It cleary has the same build but his decorations are totally different. It's more lighter and a lot of things are white. It reminds me of Jack's house, that also looked like a house you'd find in a magazine.
"Where's Corbyn?" I ask mean while he's standing with his back towards me. He's cooking, and I see he's buzy with like 4 pans. I wrap my arms around his torso and kiss his back multiple times. I hear him chuckle.
"Corbyn has a date tonight" Jonah says and I hear the grin in his voice.
"With who?" I say as I hop on the kitchen island behind him.
"Aubree" He mutters and I gasp.
"That can't be true! Her date is called Sebastian, not Corbyn!" I slightly yell, but that's mostly because i'm confused.
"Hey hey chill Ruby!" Jonah turns around and throws his towel over his shoulder. He stands in between my legs, slightly massaging my thighs.
"Aubree's date canceled and when you were showering, she wanted to come over to tell you. Me and Corbyn heard her curse in front of your door and opened ours. She came in all crying, and when she told us her date ditched her, Corbyn offered to take her out for dinner. You had to witness it, it was so cute!" Jonah smiles brightly and I cringe slightly as he uses the word cute.
"They left like ten minutes ago" Jonah says. I shrug, hoping Aubree won't be all slutty tonight towards the broken boy.
"But that means" I think and Jonah's smirk grows.
"We have the whole night for ourselves!" He says and he kisses me sweetly. I wrap my arms around his neck and push his body closer.
"Let me quickly finish dinner" He mumbles against my lips and I hear he's already a bit out of breathe.

Bottles of wine spread out all over his kitchen. Dirty plates in the sink, a few shot and wine glasses next to it. We're currently making out on his couch, our legs tangle each other. Our mouths aggressively pressed upon each other. His hands roam all over my body, sometimes grabbing on to my curves. He grunt as my fingers brush past his erection.
"Let's take this somewhere else" He breathes out and I nod sheepishly. I stand up, seeing him eagerly glance at my body. I walk towards I assume is his bedroom and open the door. It's clean in my surprise, his bed is fleshly made and his thin curtains fly up because of his window that's open. I feel a shiver run along my spine and snicker. I undress myself, tossing my clothes on top of his sheets. I notice the
mirror in te corner of his room and take a look at myself. I grap on to my boobs and laugh in myself. Too. Much. Alcohol. I get impatient and with only my red lingerie covering my body, I step into his small hallway, only to find myself fast walking into his livingroom. Where the fuck is he? Does hot guys disappear when they get horny? I laugh in myself again at my thoughts and falter towards the kitchen. I see a small amount of red wine still in a glass. My fingers glide against the material and I grab onto the glass. As I place the cold glass on my dry lips, I hear a cough coming from his hallway that leads towards his bedroom. My eyes shoot over to where the sound comes from and see Jonah in only his boxers. He's standing in the doorway, a dirty smirk plastered on his face. I feel a warm feeling creep up in my stomach and I feel my cheeks turn a deep red. I let my head fall in my neck and let out a laugh. He's making me nervous.
"You're laughing, do I make you nervous?" He says softly and I give him my stare. He knows me, he fucking knows my body language. With small steps he comes closer, making me back up. Till i'm with my back against the counter, I quickly jump up, letting my ass resting on the cold stone island.

"This looks so good on you" He says and I see his eyes flick nervously to my underwear. There's my little boy again. I take his weakness as an opportunity to grab on to his neck, pulling him closer. Our breathing fastened and we look each other in the eyes. I see a lot when I stare deeply into his blue eyes. Hurt, pain, not wanting to loose me like he did before with his ex. I want to make sure to him he doesn't have to worry about me. That I will stay with him no matter what. I don't know what will show him, what makes him relax more and feel one with me. Say it Ruby! Just say it to him, he's waiting for it. His hands stay where they are now, his eyes still staring into mine. For god sake Ruby Jackson, say it to your man!

"I love you Jonah"
