*A/N* If you ever feel bad about life I just walked into my door.
"Fuck" Jack yelled as he lost another round of Mario kart. We had been playing for a a couple of hours now and I was certain that Jack was either letting me win or he just sucked.
"Someone's angry" I sung out, mocking him. We were both sitting in Jack's room, both of us in pajamas playing Mario kart. After eating dinner at the my house, I decided to stay over with Jack. It seemed better than sitting alone in my room with my thoughts.
"This is so unfair, the games rigged I swear." Jack yelled out, causing his Mom to bang on the wall yelling for him to shut up. At this point I was sure Jack was letting me win because it seemed impossible for him to lose the last round. It also didn't help that Jack wasn't exactly the best liar.
Deciding to call him out, I can't help but grin before saying "Jack, next round wins all and stop letting me win." After saying that I watch Jack's face change into a deep shade of red which I wasn't going to deny is adorable.
I can't help but focus on Jack and the way he sticks his tongue out when concentrating. I know I shouldn't like Jack, he's my brother from another mother but ever since kissing him I can't.... "I win bitch" Jack yells, cutting off my train of thoughts. I roll my eyes at the idiot, dancing a victory dance around his room. I don't have the heart to tell him that I actually let him win this round. "I won, so what's my prize" He asks suddenly stopping dancing and staring at me with those big brown eyes. I'm actually surprised his Mom hasn't banged on the wall for him to shut up again.
"Whatever you want." I reply, before hearing Mrs Barakat bang on the walls again causing us to break out into laughter.
"Anything?" Jack repeats, grinning like a fool.
"Yeah sure why not." I continue, Jack always sucked at picking things so I wasn't that worried.
"Can I have a kiss from the loser?" He asks, batting his eyelashes.
"But Alex isn't here." I tell him, searching around his room to make sure no caramel haired idiot was hiding somewhere. Of course I knew what Jack meant but I was playing dumb.
"I meant you" He says, walking towards me with a mischievous expression. I'm about to protest when he kisses me midway sentence and I know in that moment I should push him away but I can't. This kiss isn't like the over times, I'm not drunk or high yet I feel like I am. Jack's lips are so soft and sweet, they're like the addiction I never knew I needed. I should be pushing my best friend away, yet I'm wrapping my arms around him, deepening the kiss.
"Um" Jack announced as he pulled away, his face going completely red. My face was burning too, I don't even know what got into me but I just wanted to kiss him.
"Nora I'm so sorry, I..." Jack stuttered before I cut him off, kissing him again. I don't know why he was so sorry and I don't care, I just want him. Leaning my weight onto him, I accidentally push us both off the couch and onto the floor. I want to keep kissing him but I can't help but start laughing. All this time I was blaming kissing Jack on alcohol and drugs, yet here I was kissing the lanky boy on the floor.
"Do I have something on my face?" Jack asked, me unsure of why I started laughing.
"Yeah, it's called your nose" I smile, I don't know what's gotten into me. This morning I felt upset and was crying, yet now I'm laughing my ass off on top of Jack Barakat.
"Stop laughing, it tickles." Jack complained, trying to roll me off him.
"You're the one who made us fall on the floor" I inform him before ticking his sides. Jack squirms underneath me, trying to get away but I pin him down.
"Nora stop" He laughs, as keep ticking his sides.
"Okay" I say, stopping and just laying on top of him. In the room next to us, I hear Ms Barakat complaining about the noise. "Yeah Jack, keep it down" I laugh, blaming it on him. He tries to defend himself but I stick my hand over his mouth. "Ew, dude don't lick my hand" I say, pulling away my hand and toppling over onto the floor next to Jack.
I feel kind of bad for keeping Mrs Barakat up but at the same time I can't stop laughing. I love Mrs Barakat, she's like my second mother. When me and my brother were kids, my parents worked heaps so we would always stay over at Jack's house. Some days it feels like I've spent more days with Jack's mom than my own, but I understand my parents are busy.
"Nora you're making my arm go dead" Jack complained, making me realize I was laying on his arm.
"I'll get up then" I reply, starting to get up before Jack pulled me back down.
"No don't go" He whined, pulling me into his arms like a needy child.
"Never let go Jack" I said dramatically.'
"Okay but would you paint me like one of your french girls?" He asked with a failed attempt at winking.
"No, I can't paint and why do I have to be the little spoon." I groaned, wriggling in the death grip he had gotten me in. I didn't even know why we were spooning on Jack's bedroom floor and I'm sure we're laying on dirty washing.
"Because you're little" He told me, resting his chin on my shoulder.
"Jack I'm only like two inches shorter than you." I pointed out, trying not to laugh every time his warm breath tickled my neck.
"But you're wittle" He whined, pulling me closer.
"Well don't blame me when your boner is getting crushed" I warn him with a smirk.
"So you noticed" Jack confirmed his face going red.
"It was a little 'hard' not to notice" I joked, not really caring about the thing poking into my back.
"Seriously, Nora in these hard times. I guess this isn't the worst thing to cum." Jack continued.
"Well that's bonerrific" I inform him.
"Uh, okay I think I need to sort this out." He mumbled, still blushing as he moved from cuddling me.
"Okay, but use protection with Alex." I sung out, getting off the floor so I could play some grand theft auto without Jack. "Don't be silly wrap your willy" I continued as he grabbed a towel for a cold shower.
"Why are you even so comfortable with boners?" Jack exclaimed, staring at me laughing on his couch.
"What can I say I hang around a lot of dicks." I tell him, right before he walks out the door, leaving me alone to play GTA.
Driving to the strip club on GTA, I know exactly where it is because of Jack being a little pervert. "Fuck" I swear out loud as I accidentally run over a cop. "No, no, no, no" I repeat as the cops start chasing me and all I wanted to do was innocently go to the strip club. Due to my poor controller skills, I crash my car enough for it to set on fire, trapping me inside. I had only been playing for a few minutes but I had already manged to die.
Giving up momentarily, I lie across Jack's couch. I don't know what me and Jack are, he's my best friend and we were just kissing but does that make us a couple? I don't know, I've never been a long relationship person, most of the time I was just a party hook up. Groaning, I rub my temples thinking. So if me and Jack are a couple what if I fuck up, Jack will get hurt. I'll hurt Jack, but if I don't want to be a couple with him wouldn't that hurt more. I like Jack but I mess everything up, so I guess it's his choice. That's only assuming Jack wants me, I wouldn't blame him for not. I'm nothing special and he deserves better than me the weird kid who keeps having breakdowns.
What am I kidding, Jack wouldn't want me. I'm just the desperate best friend who can't even hold a relationship for her life. I'm being stupid, Jack would want me I mean he did just get hard. Feeling cold without Jack's warmth, I rest my cold hands between my thighs in an attempt to warm them.
"Noraaaaaaa, are you the one with the lady boner right now." Jack curiously asked, scaring the shit out of me.
"Dude no, I was warming my hands. You would understand if none of your clothes had pockets." I defended myself, still trying to warm my hands.
"Surreeeeeee" Jack said, his wet hair looking adorable and messy.
"Does everything with you have to be about boners?" I ask, lazily watching him from my spot on the couch.
"Boners and Boobs" He correct me, making my eyes roll.
"Man whore" I mumble.
"If I'm a man whore will you be my lady whore?" He asked me, smiling with his big brown eyes begging me to say yes.
"Is this you're way of asking me out and Jacky we all know I'll be the man." I continue, watching the goofy boy standing in front of the TV. b
"Okay will you be my man whore?" He grinned.
"Bitch, I'm already your man whore." I tell him through laughs. Getting sick of my shit, Jack jumps onto of me, crushing my body into the couch. I feel his wet hair against me as he kisses me, his shampoo smells great but it's making me need to sneeze. Pulling away from the kiss, I leave Jack confused for a moment before sneezing on his face.
"Gross" He complains, wiping his face before rolling on the floor.
"I blame your shampoo" I say, sitting up.
"Next time I'll remember not to use it" He tells me as he searches through the junk in his room to find something.
"No, I like it, it smells good it you." I put in, right before I sneeze again.
"Much sense make" He teases me, as he searches through a pile f movies on his floor. I'm not even sure how I stuffed up on the simple sentence but English is hard even for someone who grew up with it. "Wanna watch a movie" Jack pipes in handing me the pile of DVDs he had gathered.
"Home Alone, Home alone lost in New York, white chicks, Aladdin ..." I list off, when Jack rudely interrupts.
"Let's watch a horror movie!"
"No" I sharply reply. Unlike Jack, I hate horror I can't stand the suspense of someone jumping out at you with a chainsaw. It's not even the movie that scares me, it's afterwards with the shadows on the wall and me over thinking.
"Awh, is Nora scared?" Jack asked.
Death staring him, I reply "No but I don't like horror."
"I think your scared." Jack mocks, I know what he's doing he's trying to hurt my pride so I'll watch it and it's working.
"Okay, okay, I'll watch it." I say giving in to Jack who starts piling up blankets on the couch for the movie. "But you have to get snacks and if you scare me I will slap you." I threaten staring at my best friend, or is he now my boyfriend, I don't know.
Finally when we have snacks, Jack starts the movie. I curl into the blankets, hugging the bowl of popcorn against my chest. "Damn it, Nora you were suppose to be hugging me for comfort not the popcorn." Jack complains, spreading himself across the couch, sticking his cold feet underneath me.
Sticking my tongue out, I tell him the most important rule. "Food before dudes."
As the movie progresses, I'm hugging the popcorn even tighter and eating, my eyes glued to the gore on TV. "Nora?" Jack asks, looking at me his face lit up by the TV screen.
"Yeah" I mumble, through a mouth full of popcorn.
"Cuddle with me?" He continues, using puppy dog eyes.
"Nope" I tell him.
"But I'm scared." He pouts, opening his arms out like a teddy bear.
"You're kidding right?" I ask, even for someone scared easily I could handle this on my own just with some food.
"Nope" He replied, using those big brown sad eyes that you can't deny.
"Fine then" I grumble, moving over so his arms can wrap around me.
Clamping onto me, Jack uses this opportunity to say. "I'm actually not scared I just want you to bring the popcorn over."
"Bitch" I mutter, annoyed that he had gotten me out of my blanket cocoon.
