Stay With Me

“Hey man” Alex said to Jack wrapping him in one of those guy hugs. He looked to still be half asleep which made me feel instantly guilty for waking him.

“Hey Lex, Thanks for this by the way” Jack said making his way into the house.

“Hey Jess” Alex said pulling me into a lose hug, which shocked me.

“Uh Hey Alex” I said returning his hug, Jack noticed my awkwardness and gave me weird look that I brushed off.

“Alright well you two can sleep down stairs in the guest bedroom if you want?” Alex asked looking at Jack who looked at me.

Jack and I hadn’t slept in the same bed together, yet. So I guess he was asking for permission.
“Yeah of course” I said smiling which made Jack's face light up.

“Okay, You know where to go then Jack. I’ll see you crazy kids in the morning!” Alex said with a cheesy (fake) smile as he ran back upstairs.

Jack held out his hand for me to grab which I did lacing our fingers that fit perfectly together.

“What was with that awkwardness with Alex before?” Jack asked as he lead me down the hallway.

“Nothing, Just wasn’t expecting a hug.” I said shrugging my shoulders. Jack just nodded along knowing he wasn’t going to get a better answer.

As Jack opened the door to the room I attached my lips to his, kissing him roughly but Jack quickly took control and lead me towards the bed pushing me back without removing his lips from mine.

We continued making out on the bed for a while before I flipped us over so I was straddling his waist. I attached my lips to his Jaw line and kissed my way down his neck leaving small bruises on my way.

“Jesus Jess” Jack said breathlessly as I sucked on his collarbone. “You’re going to have to stop before my pants get tighter” Jack said smirking.

“What if I don’t want to?” I said trying to be sexy but knowing me it probably came out horribly.

Jack quickly shot up and his eyes widened “Are you serious?” Jack asked excitement clear in his voice. I nodded my head and Jack quickly dove on top of me begining to do what I had just done to him.

Recently I had been thinking about Jack and I and the whole having sex for the first time thing. It wasn’t that much of a big deal because it wasn’t like we were virgins but I just wanted things with Jack to go right, I didn’t want to rush things with him like I had done with others. Jack meant the world to me and tonight when he said he loved me I knew that having sex wouldn’t destroy or complicate our relationship. Doing this just felt right I guess.

“Wait” I said pushing Jacks head from my now bruised neck.

“What’s wrong?” Jack asked sounding more worried than upest.

“What about Alex?” I asked not wanting him to hear, that would be too embarasing, It was also kind of awkward doing it in his house after everything.

“His a deep sleeper trust me!” Jack said and I laughed as Jack reattached his lips to my neck. I couldn’t say no to him now.

Alex P.O.V.

I woke up at 11am to the sound of a squeal coming from downstairs, It felt like that is all I heard from last night.

I can’t believe they actually had sex in my guest bedroom!

I guess I couldn’t really be mad I had slept with heaps of girls in Jack’s house but never a girl that Jack was in love with! Then again Jack didn’t know I was in love with Jess… still.

Last night when Jack called me I said yes to him staying over before he informed me he had Jess with him as well, If I had known I would’ve made up some lame excuse as to why they couldn’t stay.

And then when I went back to bed attempting to sleep all I could hear was them fucking! I tried to cover my ears but Jess is a screamer, and a loud one! I just wish I was the one making her scream.

I got out off bed and made my way down the stairs to see Jack and Jess making pancakes together. How cute.

I hated seeing them being all couply, it litterally made my heartache. You’d think after three months I would be used to them together and I would be over Jess but no. If anything I am even more in love with her.

The things Jack tells me about her makes me want her more. She is like the greatest girlfriend, she cares so much about him but isn’t clingy and controlling. Jack doesn’t know how lucky he is.

I walked into the kitchen and cleared my throat making my presence noticable.

“Oh hey Lex” Jack said as he continued to hold Jess who was attempting to squirm out of his grip.

“hey” I said as I sat up on the kitchen bench. Jess smiled at me and continued to flip the pancakes.

“I hope you don’t mind Jack and I decided to make pancakes, you want some?” She asked and my heart melted, she was so cute.

“Yeah that’d be nice, thanks” I said hopping down from the bench and heading towards the lounge room. I turned on the tv to watch the morning cartoons, Jack came running in and we sat there together watching intently as Jess finished cooking.

“Boys! Breakfast is ready” Jess yelled out to us after ten minutes of cartoon watching. Jack and I raced into the dinning room where Jess had set out the food and three plates for us all. We all sat down like a family and began to eat.

“These are really good Jess, thanks” I said trying to be polite.

“Yeah babe these are great!” Jack said as he scoughed down his food like a child. I cringed at the way he said babe, I shouldn’t have but I did.

We sat and ate as Jess and Jack made small talk that I didn’t really participate in, I was too busy being jealous. There was a little tension and awkwardness at the table, maybe it was because I wasn’t talking but I think it was more that they didn’t know if I had heard them last night or not.

“I am still so tired” Jess said as she stretched her arms out and yawned.

“Yeah I bet you are” I said, It kind of came out before I could stop it but I gave them the anwser to their question.

Jack and Jess both chocked on the mouth full of food they were eating. Jess went bright red in the face like a tomato and both Jack and I tried to hold back our laughter.

Finally Jack cracked and we both burst out into a fit of laughter that soon had us rolling on the floor, it relieved all the tension that was there before and everything felt normal again.

Jess P.O.V.

My face went bright, bright red when Alex confirmed my suspicion that he had heard us last night. I was so embarrased and a little ashamed. Alex had heard me and Jack having sex last night, in his guest bedroom, not my best moment.

We were all silent and I could tell that Jack wanted to laugh by his facial expression, finally he cracked and Alex started laughing too. Within seconds they had both fallen out of their seats rolling on the floor in fits of chuckles.

I couldn’t help but laugh too but at them not with me. I couldn’t help but look at Alex, I hadn’t seen him smile sincerely in a long time. Mainly because when I was around he wouldn’t talk at all or find and excuse to walk away but last night and this morning he has been the normal Alex. The one I used to have a slight crush on.

I missed him, before Jack and I started dating Alex and I were pretty close. We used to spend heaps of time together going to the park and talking. I guess I have had less time for him being with Jack most of the time but it’s not like he has wanted to spend time with me anyway.

Since Jack and I started dating Alex had completely distanced himself from me to the point where he acted like a dick. The more I thought about it the more I believed what Lisa had said.

Obviously not the part of Alex and I hooking up but maybe the part of Alex being in love with me had some truth to it. I knew he wasn’t in love with me but maybe he used to have a small crush and he thought that distancing himself would kill those feelings because he couldn’t like his best friends girlfriend but then I realised how dumb that sounded.

Alex didn’t like me. If he did he wouldn’t have hooked up with that girl months ago and he wouldn’t have told Lisa how he felt, his not that dumb to trust her with his secrets.

I decided to stop over thinking it and just be happy that Alex was being nice to me again, It felt good having him back as a friend even if had only been a few hours.
