Andrew's POV
"Looks like I'm close to winning this bet."
"I'm not part of that anymore. I'm out!"
At first it seemed like a good idea but not anymore. How could I even contemplate on doing such a deed. She's so different...from the other girls...from everyone. Her beauty is so blinding and her personality is like a bomb, you never know what to expect.
"What do you mean you're out? Are you falling for her?"
I punched Zack in his face. "Don't you dare say that!"
"What do you care? You hated her since we were young. I should have gone after Jessie instead of Anaya. She's so hot."
"You said you'd do the bet. Whoever fucks her first wins and doesn't become an outcast. That was the deal," he smirked as if he was right.
"Well the deal is off."
I'm out if here. I walked out of the boys' locker room but not before he yelled, "She's only good for one thing, man!"
I went into gym and found Jessie with Amanda and Hailey.
"Hey girls."
I took in Jessie's appearance. She looked so hot in those shorts and her physical education jersey, with the school's logo. Her legs looked so long and lean and she was just so beautiful.
Not that she cares about what I say anyways, we are only friends.
Hailey cleared her throat so I'd stop checking her out. She has a thing for me but I want nothing to do with her.
"Hey Andrew, "Hailey kept twirling her red hair in her hands and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
I held out my hand for Jessie to take and she watched it.
"What are you doing?"
"I want to ask you something."
"What do you want to ask her?" Hailey rudely butted in. She's probably jealous. How could she be friends with Jessie if she's jealous of her? That's a bad friendship if you ask me.
Jessie took my hand and stood up. I put my hand over her shoulder and we walked and talked.
"Do you want to go to the movies Saturday?"
"I was going to the beach with Zack."
"Well which one would you prefer?"
"Why don't you just come to the beach with us?"
"Fine then but I'm bringing Hailey, Amanda and his other friends."
"That's cool. Then maybe we could all go the the cinema next Saturday."
We smiled at each other but the Physical Education teacher blew her whistle indicating for us to run around the field.
After class Jessie left with Zack, against my protests for her to stay with me and her friends.
"Hailey do you want to go to the beach-"
"Yes!" I rolled my eyes because it's like she's obsessed.
"Amanda what about you?"
Hailey seemed shocked. I saw her in the corner of my eye telling Amanda to say no.
"Uh. Yeah?"
"Great!"
Hailey rolled her eyes and I walked away. I can't believe I have to go and see Jessie with that boy. He may be my best friend but he crossed the line. On the bright side, I got to crash their date. Plus it's my fault she's with him but it's my fault she's going to get her heart broken.
After all it was me who made the bet up. But it seemed right at the moment. I didn't think I'd get her to actually talk. And plus, if I wasn't drunk at that moment, I wouldn't have made it up.
I grabbed my things from my locker amd went to find Jessie since she was my ride home. I had gotten my car back but it's in my garage. I guess I just enjoy her company.
Instead of looking for her I just went to wait by her car but she was already there, with Zack.
I rolled my eyes. She's with the most popular guy in school, I'm the second, she's becoming popular and she has a friend that's jealous of her...it's like something out of a book.
She was leant against her car, Zack had his hands on either sides of her and he r hands were around his neck. He hovered over her as they talked. She giggled and I rolled my eyes.
He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and I scoffed. Whatever I did it first anyways.
I walked closer to hear their conversation, trying to blend in but failing miserably when I tripped over my laces. At least they were too engrossed in each other to notice.
"I can't wait to go to the beach with you, babe."
She played with the hem of his shirt.
"Really?"
"Yeah just you and me alone."
"Well..."
"Jessie? What'd you do?"
"I kind of invited Andrew and Hailey and Amanda and Josh and Bryan...oops. I thought it'd be okay since we always hang out."
"That's the thing. We always hang out. This was supposed to be a date. But no worries. We'll just ditch them."
"That's kind of rude considering they were invited. Plus how could you do that to your best friend."
"Andrew? He's becoming a pest."
Yeah well you too buddy.
She gasped, "That's very inconsiderate."
"Whatever...I bought a swimsuit for you."
She smiled, she looked so in love. It's disgusting. I feel bad knowing that he's only using her. But if I tell her she'll be mad at me too because the only reason I was hanging out with her was to get into her pants...but not anymore though. I actually enjoy her company.
But I'm kind of irritated. How could she be so dumb? For two years he ignored her and one day she comes to school looking hot as hell and he suddenly became interested. How could she not have noticed that?
He went to his car and brought out a bag. He gave it to her.
"Don't open it here though."
"Thanks."
She pecked him on the lips and she saw me. I quickly turned around even though I knew it was too late.
"I better go. Andrew's waiting on me."
He pulled her into a kiss and I grimaced, looking away. I looked back at them and his lips were still attached to hers. I rolled my eyes. How long does it take to kiss a girl, damn it?
"Bye," I heard her voice and walked over to the car.
When she opened the door he yelled, "Miss you already!"
She below a kiss at him and he 'caught' it and placed it on his cheek.
I rolled my eyes. This was beyond ridiculous.
Zack walked pass me and smirked. He bumped his shoulder into mine and said, "She'll be mine in no time."
He winked and walked away. I opened the back door and sat.
"Sorry I kept you waiting. Why are you in the back seat?"
"Because..."
I get to see what's in the bag. I took her new swimsuit out of the bag and my jaw slackened.
She better not think of wearing this.
"Why are you so quiet?"
She looked at me through the rear view mirror and I stared back with cold eyes. They held no emotion. Completely void of it.
"You're not wearing this are you?"
She stopped at a red light and looked at it.
"Woah."
"Well...are you?"
"I don't know...Are you still coming over to bake the lemon cake?"
"Yeah."
She nodded and we headed to her house.
We finished baking the cake after arguing about nonsense and making unnecessary messes which we had to clean up.
"Great. Now for a taste test."
I cut piece and put it in her mouth.
She moaned, "Oh my god this is so good."
"Food porn!"
She playfully shoved me and I laughed, "Seriously you have to try it."
I opened my mouth waiting for her to put piece if cake in my mouth and she looked at me weird.
"What are you doing?"
"Aren't you going to feed me?"
I winked and she rolled her eyes but she still put piece of cake in my mouth.
"Not bad." She hit me and I rubbed my hand.
"Um....Ow!"
"I made that cake."
"I was just kidding...this cake is amazing."
She covered the cake and took my hand, "Come on."
"What are you doing?"
She opened her room door and I looked around, "I've never seen your room before."
She had a photo of the both of us covered in flour which here mom took while we were making a cake. It was on the table next to her bed and I smiled.
But on her dresser had a photo of her and Zack I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I made sure she wasn't watching, when I put the frame face down.
Above her bed had a mosaic photo frame which had different sectors and all held pictures of her and Anaya.
"Well I don't know what to wear to go to the beach. I don't really want to wear the one Zack bought me because it's skimpy but he is my boyfriend."
"Yeah so?"
"Your going to help me choose. "
"What?"
I held both of them up on their racks. "Which one?"
He held his chin between his thumb and index finger and squinted his eyes, "You should let me see you in it first."
I shrugged and went to put the blue one on, a pants over it, like I always do.
"Which one?"
"Girl...go and buy a whole piece. You're going to let him see you like that?"
"I let you see me like this?"
"That's different."
"No it's- eyes are up here buddy."
I smiled sheepishly, "Right. This bath suit makes your boobs look good."
"So wear this one?"
"Definately not."
"Whatever. You'll see Saturday."
"Unless you ditch us."
She paused, "You heard that?"
"Yeah I did."
"I just want to spend time with him alone...you understand right?"
"But you invited me."
"In my defense, I didn't know it was a date. I just thought we were hanging out. You should stay the night. It's late and I'm not driving you home."
"Fine. I'll text my mom."
After a while, she replied. "She said yes. But what will I sleep in?"
"That." She pointed at me, referring to my current outfit. "You'll get up early and go home and change."
"You're getting up early to drop me home?"
She rolled her eyes and nodded. "Unfortunately."
"Now get out. I need to shower and change."
I went downstairs and put on Thirteen Reasons Why on Netflix. This show was, is amd always will be my life.
"Andrew? What are you doing here?"
"Goodnight Tesse." She told me to call her by her first name. She was a real cool mom. "It was late and she didn't want to drop me home."
"So you're sleeping here tonight. No funny business."
I laughed. "Just kidding. I trust you with my daughter."
She went upstairs and at the same time Jessie came downstairs.
Jessie's POV
"What are you watching?"
"Thirteen Reasons Why."
Confusion tackled me. "Why what?"
"Just why."
"That's dumb."
"How dare you...you're dumb."
"I'm going back in my room."
"Wait!" He switched off the television and stood in front of me. "Where am I gonna sleep?"
"You could sleep with me."
He smirked, wiggling his eyebrows and I playfully pushed him. "You're disgusting. You could sleep on my bed with me or the couch downstairs."
He held my waist and out noses touched. "I'll sleep with you."
His lios grazed mine and he pulled away smiling, as if nothing just happened. He walked away leaving me in a daze...as always.
He sat on my bed and I sat next to him.
My phone began to ring and I smiled because it was a video call from Zack.
"Hey baby."
I blushed and Andrew rolled his eyes.
"Hey."
"What's he doing in your room...on your bed...at night."
"He's just sleeping over."
"Why?"
"Reasons."
I smiled and said, "Thirteen."
She bit her lip, to stop her from laughing, "Andrew could you just step out for a sec." He got up and walked out of the room mumbling something incoherent under his breath.
"Why are you calling so late?"
"Look out your window."
I scrunched up my face but looked anyways. I saw Zack underneath my window and he waved.
"What are you doing here?"
"Surprise visit?"
"Go to the front door I'll unlock it for you."
I opened the door and Andrew almost fell in.
"Uh...I was leaning on the door for support."
"Oh my goodness. I can't believe you would invade my privacy like that."
I walked away from him and went to unlock the door.
"Hey Zack."
"I've missed you." He looked at what I was wearing and smirked.
"You look hot." I was wearing a short pants and a tank top. He closed the door and pinned me to a wall. His thumbs caressed my hips and he was about to kiss me but Andrew walked in.
"I think I made my decision. You should wear the one that makes your boobs look good."
Zack looked at him and Andrew smugly smiled. While Zack had his back facing me I mouthed at Andrew to stop but then I realized he was doing it on purpose.
"What is he talking about?"
"Bathing suits. I asked him which one I should wear."
"You're not wearing the one I got you?"
"Umm. I just find it a bit too...revealing.
"Oh. Well if your uncomfortable with wearing it then don't wear it."
He kissed the top of my head.
"Let's go to your room."
I nodded and walked out of the room.
He stayed back they talked. I heard something Zack said but I didn't understand it one bit.
"Remember that one thing she's good for? She's gonna do it now. Get ready to pay up. Five hundred dollars."
"I'm back."
He didn't wait for me to answer as his lips were crashed unto mine.
He pushed me onto the bed. He kissed down my jaw to my neck. I turned my neck to the side giving him more access.
His hand slid up my shirt and my breath hitched. His other hand touched my thighs but then his fingers began to play with the band of my pants. Was I going to do something intamite with him? A guy I haven't even known that long?
I stopped his hands and pushed him off of me. He looked at me with a puzzled expression. "I'm sorry. You should go. Andrew's probably wondering why I'm taking so long anyways."
I didn't look at him but he nodded and proceeded to leave.
"Bye and I'm sorry if it seemed like I was trying to pressure you or anything."
"No its okay...I guess. See you tomorrow."
He walked out the door and I locked it. I sighed and leaned on the door for a while before pushing myself off of it. Wondering if I do get a bullet or just lost my dream boy.
"I told you he's using you. Once he gets into your pants he'll throw you away like a used napkin just like he did with the other girls."
"I get that you're trying to look out for me but he's my dream guy and I really, really, really like him."
"Fine. But if he hurts you...I'll kill him. Then I'll kill you for not listening to me in the first place." I stuck my tongue out at him and he reciprocated the action. "We should probably go to sleep."
I nodded and we walked up the stairs. I set myself down on the bed but he began to take off his clothes. I cleared my throat, "What are you doing?"
"I'm taking off my jeans and my jersey."
"Why?"
"One becasue I can't sleep in jeans and two I always sleep in my boxers."
I looked at his toned abs and I nearly exploded. I forgot everything we were talking about. I licked my lips and shamelessly looked at him.
He was so muscular but not in a gross kind of way. His biceps were to die for. I looked a little lower, where his boxers hung low on his lips and I bit the inside of my cheek. I looked back up at his face when he cleared his throat.
"You're staring at me again," he remarked.
He smirked and I blushed, "Was not!"
Averted my gaze, glaring at my bed.
"Was too." His tome was nonchalant and factual.
"Was not!"
"Was too."
"I'm not going down this road. Especially not with you," I grumbled, using all my willpower to tear my eyes away from his strong masculine bone structure.
"You really haven't changed at all. Still a grumpy chick."
"I was never grumpy."
"You broke my nose when you were nine. You called me an ass wipe when you were twelve."
"That proves nothing."
"You have no respect for your elders you know that."
"You're only older than me by one year."
He had to repeat once, he finally bucked up a little and worked his way up to a C plus average.
"But I'm still your elder."
"You know what? Fuck you. Yeah your older." I showed him middle finger on both my hands, "Hope you die soon."
I stuck my tongue out at him and he huffed, "I'll tell your mom."
"My oh my, is that a threat I spy?" I smiled and he rolled his eyes.
"Whatever. Goodnight."
I laughed at him and wrapped my arms around him, "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But I wasn't checking you out."
I tucked myself in under my duvet and slept sideways.
When Andrew came on the bed he put his hand around me.
"Woah. Oh no you don't. You stay on your side and I'll stay on mine."
He ignored me, refusing to move his hand but in all honesty I kind of liked it.
