This Can't Be Good

Chapter 8

I woke up around noon. Parker was asleep on my couch, shirtless. Why did he have to be shirtless? The world hates me. I grabbed a pair of skinny jeans and a sweatshirt and jumped in the shower. I was still gross from last night. When I was done Parker was gone but Miranda now in my room. I went down to get breakfast and she followed behind me. Parker and Jayden were playing some stupid shooter game so I ate my breakfast in the kitchen. Miranda and I both placed two donuts on our plates and began eating.

“So lovebird, how’s life,” I asked.

“Amazing,” She said with a smile so big. “Hey I have a question.”

Oh great here we go again. “What’s up?”

“Why was Parker in your room this morning?”

Stupid ass Parker and him not waking up early. He’s doesn’t think of what I have to deal with when he does this. Ugh! “You two were passed out downstairs and Lexis was in his bed.” She was satisfied with my answer.

I walked into the living room and took a seat on the recliner. “I’m bored! What are we doing today?”

“Uh, I’m taking Miranda out, sorry Josy,” Jayden said.

Curse my brother being a good boyfriend. I just wanted to spend time with my best friend, on second thought that may lead to questions so maybe this is a good thing. I followed Miranda up to her room so I could help her get ready for her date. Cassadee came in as Miranda was almost ready.

“Josy can you watch Lexis? Trevor got the day off and we want to do something,” Cassadee pleaded.

“Sure thing sis,” I said. Lexis came running into my arms laughing.

I carried Lexis down the stairs and said bye to Miranda and Jayden. Cassadee said bye to her baby and then left shortly after.

“Well, baby what do you want to do?” I asked her.

“TV, TV,TV!” She chanted. I laughed to myself. I sat on the couch with her as she watched Spongebob. An hour later Lexis was asleep in my arms and I had turned on a movie.

“Hey,” Parker said. He walked into the room and sat next to me. “Someone’s tired.” He laughed. Parker loves Lexis. They were always inseparable. Its really funny because he’s such an ass but he has a soft spot for Ms. Lexis-Harmony.

“You better be quite or she’ll wake up,” I said picking up Lexis and adjusting her next to be instead of on top of me.

“I wonder whose mom will throw a party first when they find out Jayden and Miranda are official,” He and I both laughed.

Its a point I never thought of. I wonder if mom and dad know they’re a couple. They’ll be thrilled, it was their plan all along.

“At least your supportive. Jayden would kill his friend if they were even considering dating me, then again that might be a side affect from having anger issues,” I laughed. I knew Jayden told guys to stay away from me. How did I know this? Well, when I was a freshman, Jason and I were good friends. He told me he couldn’t go out with me cause my brother would kill him. Oh that was a fun weekend. I screamed at Jayden for two hours telling him he couldn’t control my life, I knew it didn’t change anything.

“He can’t stop you though,” Parker said.

“Like he ever could! He’s to afraid of me to not let me do what I want. Unless he wants me to yell at him for two hours straight again,” I said.

Parker was now sitting right next to me. I was looking into his eyes, his gorgeous blue eyes. He began to lean closer to me, and I think I did the same. Shit, shit, shit what am I doing! Reality hit me as our lips were almost touching. I moved back so fast I hit Lexis, luckily she was a heavy sleeper.
