Friends With Benefits

Can You Believe It?

I had 2 Texts messages both from Elliot.

Hey I know you're on your date but I just wanted to say I'm sorry and maybe we should end this thing between us. I mean it's not like we have real feelings for each other anymore right? I'm sorry I'm doing this over texts but I wanted to say this before I change my mind. Call me when you get home okay?

I sighed. I knew it was going to happen but a big part of me didn't want it to happen. What would happen to us in the end? I couldn't let it end this way I wasn't ready to give it up. I read the other message.

That was stupid. Ignore my last text. Talk to me tomorrow?

I smiled. We were so alike sometimes it was scary. I yawned the tiredness overcoming me. I should probably text him back and let him know that I will talk to him tomorrow. But I don't know what I'd say. In my mind I felt like my subconcious was trying to tell me exactly what to text. I ignored it though and drifted on to sleep. I couldn't help but think though. What would happen if I texted it?

We always will have feelings for each other

My eyes fluttered open and I rolled onto my side away from the sun. That's the only sucky part of having a sunroof. When it gets really bright in the mornings where you don't want to get up.

Sherry came in with a tray of coffee and bread. I smiled gratefully at her and took a bite. "What's the occasion." I said talking with my mouth full.

"It's a thank you for doing the dinner thing tonight!"

I choked on my bread. Tonight? "Isn't today Saturday?" I choked. She nodded and patted my back. Bless her heart even though I felt like that only made it worst.

What about the party? What about the date with Sean? What about the talking with Elliot? WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY LIFE?

"Um.. how about a new plan.." I started. She frowned and looked down. "You can't do it. I understand I'll just call him and tell him you can't." She started to stand up from her crouch position. "No wait! I didn't say that.. I was just thinking that he should coming over. In fact you two can stay in my room and I'll still be your personal waitress." I said in one breath.

This was probably considered horrible parenting leaving these two young kids alone in a bedroom while a party raged on outside but I trusted my little sister plus I'd be in and out all the time.

And thinking more into it now the plan was practically bulletproof. I'd still have the party and I'd still have the date with Sean. Everybody is happy.

Her face lit up. "You would do that for me?" I rubbed her shoulder tenderly. "Of course I would Sherry, I'd do anything for you you know that." I said.

She hugged me and I patted her back softer than her pats. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are the best!" She ran out and I laid back down in the bed with a sigh.

I grabbed my phone from my nightstand and quickly punched in Scarlett's number. She answered on the first ring.

"Look, we're gonna have a party in a couple of hours and I need you to start making some calls."

She was silent for a while and I almost thought she'd deny than she said. "All nighter?"

"All-nighter."

Elliot's POV-

I was so stupid. I sent that text when I was drunk and even STILL she doesn't answer. I tried sending the next one when I sobered up a bit and still no response. She probably thinks I'm a jackass now.

She probably always thought I was. That's why she's so into Sean. Which I still don't know how I felt about. He was probably kissing her and dishing out all of his theater boy charm to sway her into bed with him. God the thought of him touching her made me want to punch a wall.

Wait a freaking second. I wasn't seriously getting jealous over this guy was I? I mean all in all I was happy, she needed to be in a relationship with someone who gave her the world and despite my heavy testosterone levels I honestly believe Sean is capable of doing just that. It's just that I barely know the guy so I'm cautious. Best friends can be cautious right?

Besides, I don't have to like it fully though.

Liam bounced around the living room in front of the TV. After a few minutes of staring at the back of his head I sighed giving up trying to dodge him. "Yes Liam?"

"I have a question to ask you." He stopped jumping to say.

I raised an eyebrow. "Had another situation at school? Look, I already told you just think of old people having sex and you should be--"

"No! That's not what I want to ask!" He covered his eyes and I bit my lip to prevent from laughing. "What is it then?"

"What are you suppose to do on a first date?" He asked slowly. Liam is usual the most eccentric one in the house and by far never makes a conversation boring. So why the hell would he be asking me about advice on a first date. Wait a second. He was going on a date?

"Who are you going on a date with?! You're only nine! I don't even have a date." I gasped. He shook his head and glared at me. "I'm actually twelve dumbass." He spat. I smiled again. It was cute when he cursed at me like that. Like a little angry otter. He actually thought he was tough. My mother of course didn't like it as much as I did but this isn't about her. "When the hell did that happen?"

"Does it matter? I'm going on a date with a girl who you don't need to be concerned with." he said plopping on the floor. "I just want to know what I'm suppose to do on the date. Do I... kiss her?"

I pursed my lips again to keep from laughing but my self control was getting shorter by the second. Violet would call this abosutely adorable. She would also tell me I should help him. I guess I should but where's the fun in that?

"What's in it for me?"

"I'll do your laundry for a week."

"Done." My boxers need some serious washing."Don't kiss her on the first date most girls don't like that. But if she's willing than obviously you're there to please." I grabbed him by the collar and the fear was clear in his eyes. "And don't even think about sex or so help me I will call mom right now and tell her what you did to her plants."

Basically the plants have never looked quite as yellow.

His eyes wideded. "You wouldn't..."

"Oh... I would."

"DEAL!" he shouted and I let him go and watched him run out the room. It has its perks being the oldest brother.
