Friends With Benefits

Chapter 11

Chapter 11- Bride And Groom

It's been a month since Jake and I decided to patch up things between us. The bickering and throwing of jerky/bitchy or perverted comments was still there, but I guess that's really who we are.

"Do you wanna get pizza?" Jake asked as he plopped himself beside me on the couch.

"Yeah, call room service."

Jake and I decided to get our own hotel room since he was still in bad terms with my parents. At first it was tolerable but it just got worse. They would make dinner exactly for the three of us and by would just leave Jake out of the conversation. Honestly, it was even pissing me off.

Jake reached for the phone and ordered pizza.

"Yes, that would be all," he said.

"Ohh wait! Get me ice cream!" I called.

He chuckled before ordering me one. He hung up my phone with a smirk on his face.

"What?" I snapped.

"You do realize that our wedding is in 2 days," he said.

"So?"

"You keep on eating?"

My mouth fell open in shock. How dare he?

I slapped my hand on his shoulder. His lips formed an 'o' as my hand made contact with his body.

"I was just saying!"

"You are so mean, Jake!"

I quickly got up from the couch and looked at my body in the full length mirror. I wasn't that vain about my body but ever since all physical activities was stripped off of me, I became conscious about it.

"Oh, shit," I muttered.

I was getting fat.

I lifted my shirt up and looked at my tummy.

"Nooo!"

Jake's laugh echoed around the room. I glared at him through the mirror.

"Jake!" I snapped.

He was still laughing when he stood up and walked towards me. I was still looking at my body with my eyes almost coming out of my sockets.

Cold hands enveloped my bare stomach. I gasped and shivered at the same time. Behind me was Jake with a smile on his face.

"I was kidding, Angel," he whispered.

"No, look, Jake! There's fats!"

He looked directly at my stomach which made me flush.

"What if my dress wont fit? Oh, gosh."

I was pacing in small circles around the room with Jake behind me.

"It will be broadcast everywhere! I will look like a total fool."

"Stop!"

Jake placed his hands on both of my shoulders and turned me around to face him. He crouched down a bit to be at eye level with me.

"You aren't fat. Believe me, Angel. I've seen you naked and nothing has changed. You're still hot."

His words made me flush.

I was about to say something but words seemed to abandon me.

Jake was looking directly at my eyes before his gaze changed to my lips. He started leaning. I wanted to move and push him away but the greater part of me wanted to just wrap my arms around his neck and pull him towards me. I craved for his touch and taste. It's been too long and I needed it.
