Average (a Jacob Whitesides story)

Ch. 3- Sleepover

"I can't believe Jacob kissed me" I walked into my house. "Some random guy i met at work? no way.." I was talking to myself either out of shock or excitement.

I locked the door behind me and sat on the couch to watch tv.

Although my favorite show, The Office, was on, i couldn't get my mind off of Jacob and his lips. i thought about how soft yet strong his hands were. i thought about how silky his hair was, and how when he laughs hard, his eyes squint to the point where they almost disappear.

As i was in my thoughts about Jacob, he texted me.

J: "I mean, come on."

Me: "what?"

J: "I can NOT get you off my mind"

Me: "funny, i can't seem to get you off my mind either."

J: "when can we hang out again?"

Me: "you can actually come over right now."

J: "netflix date or nah?"

Me: "yesssssssss."

J: "be over in 20 :)"

It was just turning 1:15 when Jacob rang the doorbell.

Atticus howled at the door which of course lead Jacob to keep ringing the doorbell.

I finally opened the door and told Jacob to cool it before I threw him out.

"I'm good, don't worry. I shall behave from here on out." He stood up straight and smiled like a first grader in line.

I just had to punch his cheeks because he just looked so cute and happy.

"Alright alright, come in."

As soon as Jacob took a step in, Atticus jumped up and tackled him to the floor.

"awe," i said, "He likes you!"

Jacob was laughing so hard his face turned read.

"It really isn't that funny, Jacob." I sat on the couch and grabbed the remote.

"well, i was hoping to get kisses from you" he got up and pointed to Atticus, "Not him."

i laughed and turned the light off which made the TV our only source of light.

"Get over here" I opened my arms and Jacob ran into them, tackling me onto the couch.

We both giggled a bit and then sat up on the couch. Jacob kissed my cheek , leaned back, and said "so what are we watching?"

I cuddled up to him and handed him the remote. "Whatever you want."

"Whatever i want?" He smiled.

"As long as its PG-13 or under" I put my hand on his stomach.

"Okay!" He jumped up like a little kid and started typing in the name of the show on Netflix.

Adventure Time.

Of course Jacob would pick that.

Jacob was singing along to the theme song so i went to the kitchen to make some hot cocoa.

Jacob and i fell asleep on the couch together after an Adventure Time marathon, some cuddles, and hot cocoa.

I couldn't believe I had my prince charming in my arms.

I woke up the next morning and Jacob was still asleep. I was laying in his chest and his arm was around me. I looked at the TV and it read "Are you still watching?" I dug around for the remote , trying not to wake Jacob up when I heard him talk in his sleep.

"Oh yeah, Y/N, right there." His eyes were still closed.

"Jacob?" I whispered.

"Don't stop. You're so cute." He giggled in his sleep.

"Jacob.." I got out from under his arm. "Jacob, wake up" I shook him a bit.

"Huh?" He sat up, confused. "What's up?" he looked at me and smiled.

When i saw his sleepy eyes, that mischievous smirk, and his messy hair, i completely disregarded the fact he was talking so creepily about me in his sleep.

"Nothing." I smiled and put my hand on his cheek. "Want some breakfast?"

"You're gonna make me breakfast?!" He ran his fingers through his hair.

"Pshh." I pushed him back on the couch.

He got up on his elbows.

"wait, so no breakfast?" He made a pouty face. "I'm so confused."

"Panera, duh." I put my shoes on, passed him his, and went to go brush my teeth.

When i got finished, I walked to the back door to let Atticus out, then to Jacob at the front door.

"You drive or?" he was holding our keys in his hands.

"You drive." I walked to the door to open it and Jacob stopped me. "I drove last night." He grabbed my shoulders and looked into my eyes.

"You're really great, you know that?" He pulled me in for a hug and sat his chin on the top of my head. "So great.."

"You too." i hugged him back and my eyes teared up.

I haven't been this happy in a long time and it's only been like 4 days that i've known this kid.

Jacob pulled away and wiped my tears.

"wait, why are you crying?" he bent down to my eye level. "Is it something i said? Am i moving too fast?"

"no," i smiled. "You make me very happy. you know that?" i hugged him.

Jacob rubbed my back and we stood there hugging for a good minute or so.

I love long hugs with him because he holds me so close so i can feel all his warmth and hear his heart beat and that makes me feel great.

"food" i mumbled into his chest.

"lets go." Jacob grabbed my hand and walked me to the car. He opened my door and everything.

As Jacob was backing out of my driveway, he hit my trash can.

"Oops, my bad." Jacob ran out to go pick it up.

As soon as he closed the car door, i got a call from Florence.

Flo: "Hey, Y/N, what's up? Okay greeeeeeaaaat, cool. so i met this guy and he wants to go out but i dont want him to.. you know.. kill me. so i need you to grab James and-"

Me: "Jacob."

Flo: "What?"

Me: "His name is Jacob not James."

Flo: "Oh, well Jacob, James whatever his name is, i need yall to go on a double date with me tonight at 8pm. Applebee's AW WOW YOU ARE THE BEST OKAY SEE YOU THERE, BYE"

What the hell.

Jacob got in the car and i told him about our double date.

"All i heard was Applebee's, I'm in."

"8pm. tonight. don't forget."

"Do you know who the guy is?" Jacob turned into Panera.

"No, I actually don't." I got out the car and went to hold Jacob's hand. "Let's hope he isn't the Craigslist Killer, right?"

"I thought he was dead." Jacob kicked the air.

We laughed and went to order our food.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized a double date sounded like a bad idea.
