Chapter Eleven.

JUSTIN:

            "Yo. Wake up." Mark chuckled, kicking me in the side. "Time for breakfast."

            Muttering about five cuss words under my breath, I let out a groan into the floor before I actually realized I was lying on the floor. Nothing made sense from last night because I don't remember much. The last thing I remember is Reina and I's conversation by the tree before I started to drink. God, I hate it when I get like that.

            "Reina get up!" Casey shrieked.

            I popped my head up as soon as I heard that because I had no idea she even stayed over last night. At first I got nervous because I thought we had done something, but she just stood up from the couch fully clothed and stretched like she always did. Well, she was naked when we were together.

            "Chill." Reina laughed, glancing down at me on the floor. "Sleep well?"

            "Shut up." I muttered jokingly, rising to my feet next to her. "My back hurts so bad. Shit."

            She looked like she wanted to say something but instead she just gave me a small smile before we walked into the kitchen where everyone else was. Scott had decided on making a big breakfast and when Reina and I entered in there together, we all got confused looks.

            "You guys slept in the same room." Colby teased. "There's a step up."

            "Colby seriously." I spat. "Stop."

            Sitting down at the table, I grabbed my plate and stuck a piece of toast onto it as Reina grabbed a banana and sat down across from me. It was hard to not look at how cute she was in the morning. When we were together I'd always compliment on how she never needed makeup. Most girls do but Reina is one of the few that don't. She's so stunning.

            "No but I'd like to know too." Scott said. "You guys don't seem to hate each other. What happened?"

            Reina looked at me.

            "We talked things out and we're friends now." I replied.

            "Because that worked out so great before..." Mark scoffed.

            "Just friends." I clarified, sending him a dirty glare. "For real this time."

            Nobody said anything after that and when Reina finished her plate of fruit she stood up and carried it to the sink. I loved watching her ass and Mark caught me, rolling his eyes at me before he let out a small laugh. I can't help it.

            "I have to get going." Reina said. "I have to-"

            "Wait." Casey said, setting her fork down. "Actually, Scott and I had something we wanted to talk to you guys about."

            "Oh, um. Okay. Sure."

            Casey looked like she might pass out so she looked over at Scott, who sent her a smile and looked up at all of us.

            "So Casey and I have decided to get married in three months."

            "Three months?" Reina gasped. "What? How can you afford that?"

            "It's nothing big." Casey said quietly. "It'll be at a church with a small reception afterwards. Scott's parents gave us the idea so I think we're going for it."

            "But what about your parents?" Reina asked. "They're okay with this too?"

            "Yeah. They love Scott. I know it's soon but it just feels right."

            It was silent throughout the kitchen for about another thirty seconds, nobody saying a thing. I suppose this is a good thing but I mean really? So soon? I can't help but think Scott is rushing into this but if Casey is the girl he wants to be with then I support that.

            "Cool." I smirked. "Congrats you guys."

            Reina smiled at Casey and nodded her head in agreement, all of us sending a toast to the both of them before we went our separate ways. I don't know where Reina was going and I shouldn't think like this but I almost felt like texting her to ask her where she was. I felt like asking her what she was doing but I had to remind myself that we weren't in a relationship. I can't do that. But I can ask her best friend.

            "Where did Reina go?" I asked Casey, who was watching a movie with Scott on the couch.

            "I think she went back to the dorms. Why? You miss her already?"

            "No." I lied. "I was just wondering."

REINA:

New Message From: Justin

Movie night at the house tonight. U coming?

New Message To: Justin

Do you want me to?

New Message From: Justin

It's a scary one. You're favorite...

            Rolling my eyes at the text, I set my phone down onto my bed and stared at the ceiling. I haven't done anything all day. The only reason I left the house this morning was because it's difficult being around Justin when we're just friends. Don't get me wrong, it's better than not talking to him at all, but it's hard to not flirt. It's hard to not want to kiss him and touch him like I'm used to. I just have to take baby steps with it. That's all.

            It bothered me that he wouldn't admit to wanting to see me. Like just now, when he text me that. He'll never admit that he wants me over there and I know it's going to take some time for that to happen but why ignore it if you think it? If you want me over there then just say it.

New Message To: Justin

Maybe.

New Message From: Justin

Fine then. Be a loser...

New Message To: Justin

Call me a loser one more time...

New Message From: Justin

Or what punk? U won't come over?

New Message To: Justin

U r annoying me.

New Message From: Justin

:) Come over bud.

JUSTIN:

            "Reina!" Mark shouted. "You made it!"

            She never answered my text message but she was here. I was hoping she would come over and she did, walking into the living room with sweats on and sweater. She looked so adorable I just wanted to wrap her in my arms and cuddle the shit out of her.

            "The queen has arrived."

            Then she bowed in a jokingly manner, earning a roll of the eyes in return from me. She's such a cocky little shit but she's my cocky little shit.

            The thing that made me irritated the most was that she sat on the floor next to the couch I was seated on. There was a perfectly open seat right next to me but I didn't really draw attention to it. Instead, I just clenched my jaw and turned towards Scott, who was carrying in the popcorn.

            "Evil Dead." Scott said, smirking slightly at Reina.

            Her eyes lit up before she looked over at me.

            "Hm..." She trailed off. "Who picked that?"

            "Mutual decision." I joked. "Do you want your ass to hurt or are you going to sit on the couch?"

            "Am I allowed on the couch?"

            "You're allowed on the couch. Just for today though."

            "Oh yeah? Just for today?"

            Standing up from the floor, she sat down beside me although it wasn't as close as I wanted her to be. I know I said that we're friends but Reina, seriously? Just flirt with me a little bit. Give me a reason to give in.

            "Why do you annoy me so much?" I teased. "Such a pain in the ass."

            "I will sit on the floor." She replied. "Keep talkin' buddy. Keeep talkin'."

            "Oh my god. Whatever will I do?"

            "You'll die. Without me you'll die a slow and painful death my friend."

            Isn't that the truth...

            "Stop flirting and watch the movie." Mark said with a mouthful of popcorn. "You guys are disgusting."

———-

            It was halfway during the movie when I noticed that she was starting to get tired. Her eyes were closing and her head kept tilting to the side. All of the lights were off and I was scared as shit because I hate scary movies but here she was, almost sound asleep.

            "Justin." She murmured, moving a little closer to me. "I'm about to fall asleep."

            "Then go to sleep." I said.

            "I can't. It's uncomfortable."

            I knew what she wanted me to say. This was what I was talking about. She needed to flirt for me to give in and it was starting to work. I was going to give in.

            "Come on." I sighed, patting my legs. "Lay down."

            "Yeah?" She asked. "Really?"

            She looked so happy and I know how badly she wants this. She wants us back together so badly. I missed her so damn much. Words can't even explain it.

            "Yeah. C'mon."

            Immediately lying down on the couch, her head landed on top of my lap and she turned onto her left side so her face was towards my stomach. I couldn't even feel my body from how on cloud nine I was right in this exact moment. I felt so loved by her.

            "Are you scared?" She asked.

            "What?"

            "The movie. Are you scared? I know you don't like them."

            Scott glanced over at us and when he saw Reina's head in my lap I saw him nudge Casey so she would look too.

            "Kinda. This movie is creepy."

            "Don't be nervous." She giggled, nuzzling her nose up against my stomach. "It's not real."

            "Didn't you just say you were tired?" I asked.

            "Well, yeah. I just don't know when this will happen again. I'm trying to soak it in. You know?"

            I couldn't help but brush some strands of hair out of her eyes and rest my head back onto the couch, letting out a deep breath from how in love I was with her. She just doesn't understand how badly I want to be together too.

            "This won't be the last time." I whispered. "Go to sleep Reina."

 ———-

REINA:

            "I see you've got your girl." Scott chuckled.

            Letting out a small sigh, I started to open my eyes until I felt Justin's hands running through my hair. I don't think he knew I was awake yet and when he heard me, he froze his hands. I didn't want him to stop so I just pretended I was asleep, his hands starting back up again.

            "Yeah." I heard him say, almost in disbelief. "I missed her."

            He missed me. Oh my god he missed me.

            "Are you guys like back together or..."

            "No. Uh, not yet anyhow. Like I told you Scott, I'm trying to take things slow. This is good though for now, you know? Being able to hold her is good. I know that sounds stupid but it's been so long man."

            I felt like crying because he still wanted me. He wanted us to be more just like I wanted us to be and now that I have confirmation, I felt like kissing him so badly but I'm going to respect his decision. He wants to take things slow right now for his own well-being and I'm going to be right here waiting for him until he wants to make it official again.

            "I can only imagine. I'm happy for you though Justin because I know how long you've waited. Casey's staying the night so I don't know if you want to tell Reina when she wakes up. She can stay on the couch or you know, wherever."

            Please stay with me Justin. Please say you'll stay with me.

            "I'll uh... I'll probably just camp out with her for the night down here. I don't really want to wake her up."

            Then a shiver went down my spine because he started to rub his fingertips up and down my back, just like he knows I love him to do. He's so perfect. God I'm so in love with him I just want to tell him.

            "Alright. Cool. See you guys in the morning."

            As soon as I heard him leave the room Justin didn't move. He just continued to rub his fingertips up and down my back.

            "Justin." I said sleepily, opening my eyes up to look at him.

            "Hey...What's wrong?"

            "Sleep with me?"

            His body stiffened immediately once I said that. He probably had plans to sleep on different couches but I didn't want him to go anywhere. I wanted him right here with me. Especially after what he just said to Scott.

            "Yeah." He said, relaxing his body down next to mine. "Sure."

            He wasn't touching me. His arms were relaxed at his sides and he thinks I didn't feel him touch me just a couple of moments ago. When his hands ran through my hair or when they ran up and down my back.

            Wrapping my arms around his body, I pulled myself closer to him and he didn't know what to do. At first his body was stiff but then he relaxed, his arms coming tightly around my waist as well so we could both hold each other. It's been so long since we've done this. So long since his legs were wrapped with mine.

            "Reina." He groaned. "Why do you do this to me?"

            "Friends can cuddle." I reminded him even though it wasn't exactly true. "I'm not going to take it any further than what you want Justin. I promise."

A/N:

Longer chapter :) :) :)

ugh i have so many jeina feels it's ridiculoussss.

Okay so i'm sorry it took me a little to update. Ik you guys don't really need to hear about my life but a lot of you wanted to know how me and that guy were doing. Um. It was our second date and as you know, (i'm a virgin). Basically long story short he talked me into messing around in the back of his car and no, i didn't have sex, but we did other things. Then he didn't call me back the next day. so. yeah.

The reason i'm telling you this is because I think it's so so important to wait to do this shit with the right person. I wasted it on someone who didn't care at all about me so if you still have your virginity and you haven't done something then wait it out until you're actually in a committed relationship with someone who loves you. Otherwise, you'll regret it immensely.

But YEAH. So that's my life but it's okay. i'll find someone someday who appreciates me the right way.

Please comment and let me know what you thought (of this chapter or of the other thing i don't care hahaha) :)
