"All I am saying is the two of you spend more time together than the two of us do anymore" Becca whined.
"Yeah, but that's because you are always with Nick. Sorry, but I don't want to sit around while the two of you have y'alls tongues down each other throats."
"I know, you're right. Here they come now." Becca has a big smile on her face.
"Hey, baby!" Becca jumps in Nick's arms.
"Hey, Liv." Nick smiles at me before kissing Becca.
"Hey" JP walks over to me
"Hey"
"Congrats. You are no longer a high school student" He laughs.
"I know. Thank God, it's finally over. Will you hold this while I take this gown off, please.?"
JP grabs the stuff out of my hands while I unzip my gown to reveal the dress I had worn underneath. I decided to wear a white dress that hugged my hips and show my ass off. It's against the dress code, but hey I've already gotten my diploma. They can't do anything about it now. I was upset that my parents couldn't be here because of work, but they did surprise me the night before with a brand new vehicle. They said they had been saving up for it. I was so thankful but I wish they would have spent the money on something for themselves. I had been saving up to get myself something eventually. They said at least I have money put up for other things I needed.
"Damn girl. You look good." JP smiled at me looking me over head to toe.
I smiled back at him getting ready to reply when Becca and Nick walk over.
"So, are we going to do something or what?" Becca asks.
"Did you have something in mind?"
"I actually can't. Sorry, I have a date with this girl I have been talking to on a dating app." JP speaks up.
My heart dropped. I know we didn't have plans but I thought he would at least hang out with me tonight. I didn't dare let that disappointment show though.
"First date since you've stopped sleeping around, right?" Nick asked
"Yeah, man. We have been talking for about 2 weeks. She asked me last night if I would want to finally meet up and go out to eat."
"That's awesome dude. I hope it goes well."
JP had been talking to a girl for 2 weeks and I didn't even know. No wonder he had been a little distant from me. I'm not sure why, but I get that feeling that I'm about to lose him. He had become my best friend over the last couple of months, besides from Becca of course. I really thought I would be able to get JP to fall for me, but I guess I was wrong. In the end that's all, I was worth, a friendship.
"Liv, hello? Do you want to go?"
"Sorry, go where? I kind of spaced out there for a minute"
"Do you want to go out to eat with me and Nick?"
"No, I'm good. I think I'm going to go home and spend the night with my parents. They will be home tonight. Thanks for the invite though. I hope y'all have a good night. And JP I hope your date goes well, this is what we have been working towards." I reach out and grab my stuff from JP. I notice that the 3 of them are all looking at me but don't say anything.
"I'll talk to y'all later. I'm going to head home." I reach over and hug Becca.
"Bye," Nick and Becca said.
"I'll walk you to your car," JP says. Great, I just wanted to be left alone.
The walk to my 2011 Toyota Camry was quiet. JP didn't say anything to me and I didn't say anything to him.
"What's wrong Liv?" JP pushes my car door back closed and leans up against the door so I can't get in.
I back up away from him and shake my head, "Nothing. I'm just ready to go home."
"Did I do something wrong? I know when something is bothering you."
"You know JP, not everything is about you. Everyone has plans tonight, I don't. So I'm going home to spend the rest of the night with my parents."
"Why didn't you just go with Becca and Nick?"
I give him that, "Are you serious look". "Becca and Nick were going on a date. I was not about to be a third wheel. Just please move and let me get into my car and leave. I really do hope that your date goes well tonight. Be a gentleman like we have talked about. I know you got it in you."
I could tell JP didn't want to move from the way he hesitated but he finally did.
"Text me tomorrow and let me know how your date went. Maybe the two of you will hit it off and she will be your one."
Before I get into the car JP throws his arms around me and pulls me into him. I hug him back of course. He leans down and kisses the top of my head. "Thank you for getting me this far, Liv. You have been a really good friend to me. And again congrats."
JP steps back and I smile at him before turning away to get into my car. He watches me as I drive away.
***
At 11:23 P.M. my phone begins ringing, waking me up from my sleep. I reach over grabbing my phone to see JP was calling me.
"Hello" I answer my voice sounding rough from just waking up
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up."
"It's fine. Everything ok?"
"Yes... No... I don't know. I'm outside your house. Can I come in or either you come out please?"
"Let me throw a hoodie on and I'll be right out." I hang the phone up and go over to my closet to get a hoodie. I already had shorts and a tank top on. I knew it would be warm out but I was cold at the moment.
Walking out the front door I see JP sitting on the tailgate of his truck. He looks like he is fighting a battle on the inside.
"What's wrong? How did your date go?"
"Not too great. I couldn't focus on the girl because I was too worried about another one."
"There's another one?"
"Yeah, there has always been another. I just couldn't come out and tell her."
What in the world is he talking about? I just don't understand what's going on right now. I didn't even know he had been talking to another girl.
"Well, who is she? Are you going to tell her?"
JP hops down off the tailgate and walks over to me, I tense up. Oh no. No, no, no. Please don't do it.
He walks right up to me grabs my face in his hands and lowers his head until his lips are touching mine. It takes me a second to get my body to react but, then I kiss back. My arms make their way around his neck as he walks me backward to a tree so that I'm leaning against it. Finally, he pulls away from me.
"JP. What was that?"
"I am crazy about you. Since the first night I saw you at the party, I knew I had to get to know you. When I used to make those other girls think that you were my girlfriend, I pretending those moments were real. It felt great to know I mattered to someone and not just someone to sleep with. You are beautiful and full of life. I'm not sure exactly when but with all of the time we were spending together I fell for you. I tried not to. That's why I agreed to go on that date tonight with that girl. I thought maybe if I went, I'd get you out of my head. But it only made it worse. The entire time I sat there with her, I was secretly wishing it was you instead. I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. I... "
"JP... stop. I understand. Somewhere along the way, I started falling for you too. I just don't know if you and I are a good idea."
"Why do you say that?" he frowns
"You and I are two totally different people. You are far more experienced than I am on multiple levels. I just don't know if we would work."
"Come on Olivia. Just because we are different doesn't mean we won't work. And just because I'm more experienced than you, that does not mean a thing at all. I've changed over these last couple of months for you. I waited to react on this until I knew for sure how I felt about you and I made sure I could control myself around other girls, as you liked to say."
"Ugh. You drive me crazy. You make me question everything." I pull away from him to go hop up on his tailgate to sit.
He follows me standing in front of me. He hesitates but then walks forward pushing my legs apart so that he's standing in between my legs.
Putting each of his hands on both of my sides he leans in. "Stop overthinking everything. Stop questioning everything. You have feelings for me just like I do for you. Just let go. Give me the chance to be everything you need in a guy"
Looking into his eyes I try to see if he's just pulling me along. But as I sit here and stare into his eyes, I can't read him. What do I do? Do I give this a chance or do I listen to what Becca told me from day one?
It's been a month since the night that JP and I both confessed our feelings to each other. We decide to give it a go but on the hush-hush. Yeah, not even Becca or Nick knows about our relationship. We already spend so much time together as it is, so no one suspects anything different."Get. Off. Of. Me." I tell JP in between kisses."Why" He frowns at me pushes his self up to sit straight on the couch in the house that he and Nick share."Becca and Nick will be walking through that door at any given minute.""So what? Haven't we hid our relationship long enough?"I sigh, it's like we have this same conversation every time I tell him someone will be around soon. I hear keys in the doo
It has been 3 days since we told Becca and Nick about us. Three days since our little sexual encounter. Sexual frustration is a real thing. I used to think otherwise but since that day, just being around JP makes me want to rip his clothes off and have him fuck me.I am currently sitting in my room going through emails. During the last few months of high school, I did loads of college applications. I have so many unopened emails from colleges. I'm not quite sure if I was accepted or denied, but I figured I might as well go ahead and begin looking through them now so I can decide where I want to go. Before I met JP I wanted to go to a school that was 5 hours away, in a whole different state. Now, though, I'm not too sure what I want to do. JP and I haven't even talked about it. I do know that I am going to school to become a surgical technician. I thought about going to be a doctor but af
"I'm sorry about that, Liv.""It's ok. No need to apologize you sure didn't do anything wrong. She is just not over you. I guess that's what you would call it""You know, to be honest with you, I tried to be more than just sex for her. Before I decided to have all 4 girls. But she didn't want anything more. Now that I'm committed to you, she wants my attention. That's all this is with her.""You mean you had real feelings for her?""Yeah, back when we were freshmen. She didn't want me in that way. So I let her go. Then Sophomore year I started seeing Lacey. Lacey was just someone I slept with. Then came Samantha. Once Maggie caught wind that I was messing around with someone she came back wanting sex. That is all she ever wanted. Then
The night turns into morning. I tossed and turned all night and did not get a wink of sleep. JP never even texted me to let me know that he had made it home. I sent him at least 10 text messages asking him to please let me know something. Finally around 7 I pull myself out of bed and go downstairs. Luckily my mom and dad are still sleeping. I put a pot of coffee on, I know I'm going to need this entire pot. I'm still not sure where last night went wrong, even after a long night of thinking I'm still stumped.Around 8:30 I send Becca a text.Liv: Are you up?Becca: Yeah, I'm at Nicks. How was your date?Liv: I was good until it wasn't. Do you happen to know if JP made it back there?B
I guess you are probably wondering what happened after that night that I received the video of Maggie giving JP a blow job. Well, here it goes. It's actually pretty short and simple.About twenty minutes into my walking, Becca and Nick pick me up. They asked what had happened and I told them the rundown of it all. Nick was pissed that JP would do that but they were friends after all. Becca was also pissed she was ready to find JP and cut his dick off. I didn't hear from JP again after that night I didn't even hear anything about him again except for the small talk between Becca and Nick about him. Like I said Nick and JP were still best friends, but JP stayed away after Nick, Becca, and I moved to South Carolina for school. Well, Nick moved because of Becca, not for school. He actually got a job working with an electrical company working on powerlines. Anyway, after a year of being here,
"What can I get you to drink?" I stare at JP. He looks sexier now than he did 2 years ago. I can't fall into that smile trap though. Stay focused Olivia.As if he knew what I was thinking he smirks at me. "I'll take a beer.""Ok, I'll be back over in a few minutes." I flee away from their table as fast as I can, almost tripping over my feet in the process. I go to the bar to put in his order. Then grab the other tables' drinks and take them to their table. As I go to walk by another table, one of the men that has been drinking a beer reached out grabbing my wrist pulling me into him. He was smiling and laughing."Come on baby, give me a kiss" he kept saying. He was completely wasted so I didn't let it bother me too much."I'm sure the
The next morning I wake up to both missed calls and text messages. A bunch of them were from Austin but there were also a couple from Becca and Nick. I didn't call nor text Austin last night when I made it home. So he was blowing up my phone asking if I had made it. Then he sent a text saying that he knew I was home because he ended up calling Becca. Nick sent a few messages saying that he was sorry he didn't tell me about JP. Just as I was going through the text from Becca, my phone rings. It's Austin."Hey.""Hey. How'd you sleep?""Can't complain. How was the rest of your night at work?""It was fine. Everything went smoothly. How is your wrist?""It's fine. Just bruised. What are
I am currently sitting at Nick and Becca's place with the two of them and JP."I can't believe that douche bag. I hate to say it but I think he was already hooking up with that Clair chick at the nightclub." Becca shrugged."Oh well, it doesn't matter either way. One day I will be knocked off of my feet by a good guy. So far I've had shit luck." I glance over at JP."Oh please don't you two start," Nick said giving me a warning."She's right. Liv, you will find a decent guy one day. But with you not doing anything with them.. that's going to be hard. You better go sign up on Christian mingle." He begins laughing like he just said the funniest thing he's ever heard."You know, you're
