Impossible

Five

    Jeanie woke up very early the next morning. She looked at her left side and Reid was still sleeping. It was near dawn when she saw her watch, but it was still dark; so she stayed at bed, looking at him. She wanted to leave and let him there, as if nothing had happened, but she couldn't. Anytime she tried to look away, her eyes pulled her back to his face. He had a normal forehead, thick eyebrows and long eyelashes. Jeanie was happy he had his eyes closed, they were so hypnotizing that if they were open it would had been hard to look elsewhere. He had a big, but thin nose, so it didn't matter. And his lips, the cause of every wrong thing that happened the night before... were thin, but juicy; and as pink as his cheeks. His smiley chin was perdition! He was thin, but the night before, he had proved he was strong. He was also taller than usual, but she didn't notice the difference. His chest was cover on an almost imperceptible blond hair and the rest of his body was very nice at sight and perfectly adjustable to her sizes. Then she looked back at his face, where, as petals, his eyes were slowly opening. Then he noticed she was there.
- I thought it was a dream - he said.
- A nice dream or an awful nightmare? - Jeanie asked.
- A nice, beautiful... And perfect dream.
- No, it was perfect because it wasn't a dream. It was real.
- Oh no! - he almost yelled.
- What's wrong with you?
- We were only friends.
- We are only friends! - Jeanie corrected him.
- But we had sex...
- You look as a confused puppy - Jeanie mocked at him - But it's ok. We are friends who had sex. It's perfectly normal.
- What do you mean with "it's perfectly normal"? We had sex! It's not normal if we're not a couple!
- What century do you come from grandpa? It's called friends with benefits! Not couple! I can't fall in love with you! I don't want to suffer!
- I don't want to make you suffer.
- I know, that's why you gave me pleasure, but we're still friends.
- But... - he seemed confused.
- But nothing - Jeanie interrupted him - We're friends and we'll remind friends...  That have sex with each other.
- But...
- Do you remember another word apart from "but"? - she mocked again.
- Yes - he answered mechanically.
- Ok - she smiled - Then, please, say something else!
- But...
- You're repeating yourself. I'll help you - she decided - Good morning Sunshine! - she smiled.
- Good morning - he still seemed confused - Sunshine?
- Yes - she laughed - Sunshine! Don't you like it?
- Yes - he smiled for the first time that morning.
- That's how every day should start.
- How?
- With a smile, a beautiful smile, like the one on your face right now.
- I didn't even noticed it.
- But you're smiling; and that's the best way to start the day.
- You're right. Thanks.
- Why? - now was Jeanie the one who got confused.
- Because you make my life easier.
- Hahaha - she was happy about the credit - I only see life as a girl should see it.
- So... should I start thinking like a girl?
- No - she laughed - Was that a joke?
- You laughed! - he claimed - So it was a good joke!
- Yes - she admitted - It was a good joke. I like your sense of humor. But I still think you should take notes from my joy! Life is easier when you're happy.
- Then... If I get to be happy... I won't need you anymore.
- You won't be happy without me - she joked without knowing how right she was.
    They got out of bed, took quick separated showers and went to the University. Reid was going to work at the same place Jeanie studied, but they wouldn't see each other because they were in different and far from each other faculties. Jeanie's lessons wouldn't start until the afternoon, so she had to wait until then to do something interesting.
- You should sleep at my place today again - Reid suggested through a text message.
- Are you sure? - she got surprised.
- Well - he seemed insecure - You're not completely fine, you could get weary again and I think I'm the best person to take care of you.
- You're so sweet! - she typed back as an answer -  But... I think you have hidden intentions.
- Well - he confessed - You said we could be friends with benefits...
- And I hold my word! But today my lessons finish late.
- If it is about your learning schedule, take the time you need.
- Are you doubting about what I'm telling to you?
- No babe, I would never doubt of you. I know how schedules work. I'm so happy I finish before some other professors.
- Babe?
- Don't you like it?
- It makes me feel younger than I am.
- Isn't that what every woman desire?
- Maybe...  But I'm not a woman.
- No, you're my baby ☺️
- I'll see you this afternoon.
- Yes, please come straight here after your lessons. I'll prepare you a shower.
- Sure?
- Just do it. I don't want to miss you.
- Ok. See you then.
      The day was going so slow on lessons! Beth observed Jeanie, who was elsewhere and she was wondering why such a relaxed mood. Jeanie made her suffer a little.
- What happened last night? - Beth sounded desperate.
- Nothing - Jeanie lied.
- Nothing? I doubt it! You look... Glowing.
- Glowing? Don't you have a better word?
- Oh! Come on Jeanie! Don't give me that! What happened? - Beth was loosing it.
- He kissed me.
- Just that?
- And then we had sex - Jeanie answered without giving her details so she could torture her a little longer.
