Sitting against the wall, I leaned my head back and looked at the ceiling. So many emotions, feeling and things are running through my body at the moment. I wasn't sure what to even do except just sit here and stare at nothing.

Closing my eyes, I thought about Jordan. I smiled then instantly regretted walking out of the door. I knew that I had a reason, but what that reason was exactly, I'm not sure.

I have so much shit inside my head and sometimes it's hard to control it.

As I was sitting there, lost in my thoughts, I heard a knock on the door. Standing up, I walked over to it but before I could reach it, the door swung open.

Jordan stood there as she looked at me then slowly shut the door behind her. We stared at each other for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Jordan? What are you doing here?"

She looks around for a moment before looking back at me. "I came looking for you. Why did you run off?"

It felt weird having Jordan be the one coming after me instead of the other way around, like it's been for years. I was always the one coming to Jordan, now she's coming to me.

"I..." Not knowing what to say, I just stood there in silence. I sighed. "I don't know."

She walks towards me then stops a few feet away. "Are you ok, Alexis? What's wrong?"

Looking at her, I wanted to break down but I held it all together. "It's nothing, Jordan. I'm fine."

I watch as she stands closer then gently grabs my arms and looks at me. "Please tell me what's wrong. Is it me?"

Shaking my head, I look at her. "Of course not. It's just... I don't know how to explain it."

Without hesitation, she wraps her arms around me and pulls me into a hug. I wrap my arms around her, feeling her head against my shoulder. "You can talk to me about anything, Alexis." She sighs. "I know that I never did in the past, and I'm so sorry.. but I'm here for you."

Holding onto her tight, I let a few tears fall.

Leaning against Jordan's front, we were sitting on the couch. She had her back against the arm of the couch and I was sitting between her legs with her arms around my chest.

I stared at the wall across the room. A million thoughts running through my mind and I knew that Jordan was one of those reasons.

She slowly intertwined our fingers together and I couldn't help but smile as I lifted our hands up to look at them.

It's crazy how some hands were meant to fit into each other and Jordan's hand fit perfectly with mine. I looked at how tan her hand was compared to mine. I wouldn't say I had pale skin because it was dark, just not as dark as Jordan's.

As I was looking at our hands, I felt Jordan gently kiss the back of my neck. I smiled at the tingle sensation running down my back.

The affect she has on me is unreal.

I want to be with Jordan more than anything. I would love for our lives to start back again, the way it was before I started being a complete idiot. But sometimes I have these voices inside my head that prevent me.

"I love you, Alexis." She whispers. "So much."

Closing my eyes, I let the words sink in as much as I could before I slowly let a breath out.

"I love you too, Jordan."

My eyes gazed over towards Casey as she was asking Jordan a bunch of stupid questions. I roll my eyes and continue drinking my coffee, paying no attention to whatever she was saying.

"Why did you run off, Alexis?" She asks me as she was looking at me.

I look over at her, but before I could say anything, Jordan speaks. "It doesn't matter, Casey. Let it go."

Casey kept looking over at me but I ignored her as I took another sip of my coffee. I stared at the patterns on the walls of the kitchen, which I haven't really paid much atttention to until now.

"You both are complicating more shit. Adding more shit to whatever you're doing now." Casey looks at both of us. "I don't understand your relationship. But then again, I never really did. I mean.. who the hell doesn't have sex, not once, from being together?"

My eyes look over at her for a split second before I looked away before she saw me looking at her.

If only she knew..

"We had sex before."

I slowly look over at Jordan as she was standing there, looking at Casey. Casey was looking at her with such an expression that screamed surprised, but more of a shock than anything.

I can't believe she actually said that.

"What? When?" She asks.

Jordan gives her a look. "Uh, that's not your business to know." She turns her back as she stands in front of the stove.

Casey looks over at me and I quickly look over at the wall. I took another sip of coffee, ignoring whatever she was saying.

This just got awkward.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Looking over at her, she was standing next to Jordan. Jordan looks over at her for a moment. "Oh, I'm sorry.. I'll send you a card next time."

I held my lips together as I looked somewhere else, admiring the walls before my mind finally clicked.

Wait..

Next time?

After a few moments, Kaylee comes walking in. She smiles at me then gives me a hug before walking over her mom. I overheard her asking if she can go stay with Dakota.

I stand there as Kaylee leaves the kitchen then I look over as Casey was staring at her phone as she was leaning against the counter.

I took another sip of coffee before setting it down then yawning. I lean against the counter and look over at Jordan as she was cooking. I watch her as she was focused and I couldn't help but smile.

I caught Casey watching me in the corner of my eye. I look over at her as she was staring at me and I gave her a look before smiling. She shook her head then smiles as she looks back at her phone.

Looking over at Jordan, I let my eyes travel from her head down to her ass. I continued staring at her until she turns her head and looks at me.

I stop as I watch her eyes for a moment. She smiles then motions with her head to come there. I walk over to her and stand next to her.

"Taste this." She brings the spoon up to my mouth and I take a bite. She watches me as I chewed then swallowed. "What do you think?"

Smiling, I look at the pan then back at her. "That's delicious."

She smiles then leans over and pecks my lips before going back to cooking. I smile at her until I saw Casey watching us. I look over at her as she was staring at us.

Leaning off the counter, she looks at me. "I gotta go." She looks over at Jordan as she was turned, looking at her. "I love you both." She smiles then walks out of the kitchen.

I look back at Jordan as she was looking at me. She smiles then looks back at the stove. "Maybe she's finally realizing."

Nodding, I look at her. "Yeah, maybe."
