"One of the Guys"

The sun shined through the window shining onto John’s lanky body while his head buried into the crook of my neck. Wait what the hell? Why’s his neck buried in my neck and how did we end up so close to each other!?! I turned my head to face him and started poking his cheek, all he did was groan.

“Ugh, Annie what are you doing?” He said with a groggy morning voice and buried his face deeper into my neck. I couldn’t help but grin, he was so cute in the morning.

“Okay lazy butt, wake up now I got to go soon.” I said while getting out of the bed.
“No come back, you were so warm.” He’s pleaded.

“No now let’s go, it’s already past noon!” I grabbed both at his feet and dragged him to the ground; he fell with a ‘thud’

“Annie Christine Brock! What was that for!?!” He shouted in pain.

“You’re wakeup call that’s what, I have somewhere to be and don’t use my full name against me!.”

“And where do you have to go right now that’s so important that I have to leave?” He asked before sitting onto the bed.

“Well If you must know, I’ve got a lunch date.” I said before applying my makeup.

John’s facial expression dropped immediately hearing the words ‘Lunch date.’ “Oh” was all he had to say.

“Oh come on Johnny, don’t be so glum. I’m sorry if I woke you up rudely; you can stay and sleep in my bed if you please. I got to go now.” I said and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and left.

To be honest I didn’t want to go on this date at all, I’d rather stay home and hang out with the guys. This was just some date my parents forced me on going cause they thought I needed a ‘companion in life, I say bullshit! It’s just some guy named James; he’s this rich snobby that’s a smart ass, which was definitely not my type. I pulled out of the drive way and headed to the restaurant. This is going to be hell for all I know.

John’s point of view:

I was sitting in Annie’s room flipping through the channels trying to find something good to watch. But the whole time I was thinking about her being on a date, I couldn’t help but feel jealous. I was starting to developed strong feelings her; the more time I spend with her, the harder I’d fall. I loved her beautiful brown hair, hazelnut eyes, and long tan legs, all the way to her annoying yet cute laugh. All sorts of emotions were running through my head, I really needed to talk to someone about my feelings; the only person I could really talk to was Jared. He was the only one who wouldn’t judge me. I grabbed my phone and dialed his number.

“Hey, what’s up bro?” Jared asked.

“Um, I need your help with something.” I said nervously.

“Okay, I’m all ears.” He waited for me to go on.

“See, I’m starting to have feelings for Annie and I don’t know what to do. I asked her to be my fake girlfriend a few days back for the wedding and the more time I’d spend with her the more I like her. She’s on a date right now and I’m just so confused, and I don’t want to straight up tell her my feelings.” There was a moment of silence before he’d reply; I could tell he was thinking.

“Whoa, when did you start having feelings for Annie man? Wait forget that question, does Kennedy know about this?” he asked startled.

“No? I don’t think so. I hope not or else he’d murder my ass.” I said now pacing back and forth around the room.

“In my opinion you should just tell her your feelings and see if she feels the same way, but since you don’t want to do so than I guess you can drop subtle hints. Slowly open up to her and see where that takes you.” Jared said.

“I can try? But I don’t know where that’d lead to. You know how stubborn Annie can be.”

“Yeah I know, but it wouldn’t hurt to give it a shot right?” He tried convincing me.

“Yeah sure I guess.” I said unsurely.

“Anyways I got to go bro, hope everything works out well with Annie.”

“Uh yeah thanks for your advice and talk to you later.” I said before hanging up and throwing my phone on the bed.

I decided to head home and take a long shower to think things all over. I grabbed my phone and keys and headed home.
