Growing pains

Chapter 4

"Out of all the guys at our school you're hanging out with Jed?" Perrie asks incredulously. She's never really been too fond of the guy to be perfectly honest. He had a reputation about him but according to Jade it's what makes the kid interesting. 

"I like to keep my options open." Jade tells her calmly as she flips through an old copy of Cosmo Perrie had on her desk. 

"With Jed that's not the only thing that'll be open." She mutters, however the silence in the room makes it easy for Jade to hear and she perks up at the words. 

"I'm not going to have sex with him if that's what you're getting at." The brunette says slightly offended. Perrie rolls her eyes and turns around in her computer chair trying her best apologetic smile she can muster. 

"I know you're not planning on that happening but... he's Jed." Perrie's nose crinkles at the sound and feel of the boys name on her tongue. "He's the kind of guy that has those expectations and he probably thinks all he has to do is smirk that stupid smirk he has and that he'll be granted permanent access into your pants." She explains matter of factly. "He thinks it's that easy." 

"But... I'm not easy... am I?" Jade asks, her head tilting to the side in confusion making the light haired girl chuckle. 

"No Jadey, believe you are not easy." Perrie assures her. "He thinks cause he has a dick everyone wants on it, he thinks every girl is easy." She shakes her head at the way teenage boys think. 

"But," The brunette speaks up with intrigue. "You don't think all girls are easy." Again, Perrie can't help but laugh. 

"That's because I'm dating a girl who I'm pretty certain took a celibacy vow equivalent to that of a nun." She explains sarcastically but oh so serious but her smirk fades when she notices Jade's perplexed stare. "What?" 

"Well, at Jesy's last party, when you were somewhere secret with Leighanne I kind of made out with him and..." She bites down on her lower lip and averts her eyes from her best friend. 

"Spit it out Jadey." 

"I let him feel me up." Shocked? Thrown off? A little jealous? Yes, all of the above.

"Wha-what?" Perrie stammers and her body slumps further into her leather computer chair. Jade's head shakes a little and she gives Perrie a look, the 'you heard me right' look."Why?" 

"Because I wanted him to." She answers after a few thoughtful seconds. 

"That's gross." Perrie deadpans. 

"Whatever, you're just jealous." Jade calls out when Perrie hastily spins her chair back around to face her lap top. Perhaps, Perrie thinks, that she is jealous but if she were being honest she's not quite sure why.

"You're just mad because Leighanne has her softball top and pants sewed together so tight you can't slip a hand onto her virgin skin." The brunette laughs out but after it subsides and Jade doesn't hear any kind of response from the other person in the room she quirks an eyebrow. "Oh." She breathes out this time both eyebrows rising.

"Don't." Perrie tells her flatly not bothering to turn around when she hears the bed squeak, she knows Jade is crawling to the foot of the bed which is just behind where she is sitting. She can't fight the small smile that turns into a smirk when she feels two hands on her shoulders squeezing gently or even when those hands come to the top of the chair to spin her around. "Jade!" Perrie squeals out in giggles as she comes face to face with her brunette buddy. 

"Stop being all shy and shit." Jade tells her, pulling at Perrie's hands desperately trying to cover her face. "It's cute." She grins, finally gripping Perrie's wrists and pulling them down to the arm rests of the chair. "You just want someone to feel your boobies." With a wink she releases the tanned limbs and sits back on her feet.
