Chapter 31

I was choking. What did he just say?

"Melissa? Melissa. Melissa! You're choking" no Jc... Really? Didn't notice. He was panicking it was... cute. He quickly got out of his side of the booth and raced over to my side of the booth and started patting my back. "You're okay, I know you're okay."

"Jc-Jc" I tried regaining my natural breathing pattern.

"No no no... it's ok I mean I was just- kidding... yeah... kidding" he nervously laughed as he went back to his side of the booth.

Oh.

I stared at him with a blank facial expression, not knowing what to say.

"So..." he cleared his throat, "we should probably head back."

"Yeah... we should" I looked down at my feet, not knowing what to do or how to act.

The walk back started off kind of awkward and silent. Well, Jc seemed pretty comfortable... so I was the only one feeling awkward.

"So..." Jc broke the silence, noticing my awkward body language "can I ask you something?"

"Anything" I smiled, looking anywhere but him.

"Do you still have feelings for Sam?" my heart literally dropped at the mention of that name...

"I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt to hear his name just now" I confessed.

"So you still have feelings?" Jc's voice cracked a little when he said 'feelings'.

"Maybe, but there's no way we're ever getting back together... believe me." I responded, feeling a little more relaxed.

"Like ever?" Jc asked.

"Yes Jc, like ever" I laughed.

"Ok, that's good to know" he sighed with relief.

"Team Pringle hashtag forever alone!" I pumped my fist up in the air as Jc laughed a little.

"Pringle?" Jc asked.

"Yes, Pringle. It's like single, but hungry" I smiled.

"Ah, I see. Wow, you're such a dork" he laughed, messing with my hair.

"My hair already looks like a bird's nest so I don't really care" I stuck my tongue out.

"You wanna use that tongue for something else?" Jc winked, as I looked at him with a disgusted face.

"NO! Ain't nobody got time for that disgusting nonsense" we both laughed. "Do you think the party's still going on?"

"Most likely... I mean it's only" he took out his iPhone 5S and checked the time "1 AM parties usually last 'til like 4."

"Marlene's probably drunk out of her ass" I paused "actually I lied she's not a much of a drinker."

Jc chuckled a bit "Well at least I know someone's taking care of my Con tonight."

"Con drinks?" I asked. Yes, Con and I were like brother and sister, but he doesn't seem like the type to drink.

"Only on special occasions" he paused "but when he does he gets shit-faced" Jc smirked.

"Oh dear" I gasped as we continued walking.

"You have such a cute vocabulary" he cheekily smiled.

"Um... thanks?" I giggled, trying not to blush.

We had finally arrived at the O2L House and without a doubt... the party was still going on. We walked in, making our way through the crowd.

"Melissa I need to ask you-" Jc got cut off, by a Connor lifting me off my feet.

"Da hell?!" I panicked as I was tossed over his shoulder "CONNOR WHAT ARE YOU-" I was cut off by the water being smacked against my face and entire body.

This asswhole.

As I rose up to the surface I tried my best to catch my breath "Con-, I-" I was drowning.

This is the day I die.

"CONNOR-, CAN'T SWIM" I managed to say.

"Oh god" I heard Connor panic as he got a hold of me and swam me to the not-so-deep side. "I'm sorry Mel, Marlene dared me."

"Ugh what a bitch, she knows I can't swim. She literally wants to kill me" I spat.

"Uh what's going on here?" Jc glared at Connor's arm that was snaked around my waist still.

"Dude chill I was saving your girlfriend" Connor put his arms up in surrender.

"I'm not his girlfriend" I giggled, while shaking my head.

"C'mere I'll get you a towel" Jc put his arms out as he received me in his warm, now wet arms. We walked up to his room and he gave me a towel. "Um... so Do you want to like wear my clothes, so I can put yours in the dryer or...?" he asked.

"Uhhh... yeah, but I'm keeping my underwear and bra on under" I stated.

"Suit yourself" he smiled as he pointed to his restroom.

After I was changed and my clothes was in the dryer, Jc decided he wanted to get to know me... again.

"Favorite TV show?" Jc asked.

"I mean I like Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Orange Is The New Black, and Faking It" I answered.

"Are you a lesbian?" Jc smirked.

"Maybe I am, that's none of your concern" I scoffed.

"And I'm guessing Marlene is your girlfriend since y'all are always together" Jc laughed.

"You can believe your theory all you want Mr. Cloud I could care less what you think" I smirked, planting a smirk on his face as well.

"Ok, what's a weird fact about you?" he asked.

"Umm... my personality... maybe? Uh... I chew on plastic when I'm bored... Uh... I can't think of anymore... OH! I can pop my elbows!" I responded.

"Ew gross" he shriveled his nose in a cute sort of way.

"Knock knock!" A wild Connor and an idiotic Marlene walked through the door.

"Uh... hey guys, I mean yeah... you can come in" Jc said, causing me to laugh a bit.

"We just wanted to join your guys's party" Marlene laughed.

"Well we didn't want you guys here" I stated in my most sassy voice.

"Girl, suck it up 'cause we already here" Connor snapped his fingers.

"Ugh fine" Jc seemed a little annoyed.

"What do you guys wanna do?" I asked.

"I wanna watch a movie" Connor suggested.

"What movie?" Jc asked.

"Ooo... can we watch The Breakfast Club?" Marlene asked.

"Uhh... yeah I'll just go on Netflix" Jc answered as Jc and I got comfortable on his bed and Connor and Marlene on the floor.

After about half of the movie I caught myself dazing off...

"Oh my god they look so cute" I heard Marlene whisper.

"I'm putting this on Instagram" was the last whisper I heard, which came from Connor, before knocking out.
