36. Ella- Jacob -Natalie cannot sleep, because Coco keeps licking her ears. It’s hilarious. She books a bus ticket for the afternoon. I tell her about my plan for a short hike and camp tonight.“Alone?”“Yeah.. Why?”“Is it safe?”“If you are experienced and have informed someone… It’s safe enough and it’s a famous site. So it’s relatively safer.”She makes a face. I happened to notice it in the rearview mirror.I chuckle," What?"“Do you know there are 4000 serial killers on the loose in USA? What if-““Please tell me you made that up?”“Nooo... Research data suggests.” She scowls.“And I suggest you stop overthinking.”She pouts. “but the threat is still there”I shake my head ruefully. “I love your overthinking, pessimistic attitude, Natalie!”She pouts again and I laugh harder.“We are only five minutes away,” I tell her after a while and she stretches her arms, then starts fixing her hair.God! She is cute.I shake my head… I need to stop looking at her now and then while drivi
37. Bath… together?- Natalie -.My mind blanks out again. Why do I lose my to ability think around this boy so fucking often?“If they didn’t want us to take a bath… ‘He said an innocent line. And what did my perverted mind register?‘Want us to take a bath…’‘together’ is the word, my filthy mind added there.Fuck!! I need some action, with immediate effect. I should meet Ira tonight. Probably tag along to some party. Pick up some boy who will fuck my brains out. So I would stop imagining the unladylike things involving my hot neighbor.That’s the only way.Then I take a bath.A cold one…I feel much better, less slimy, and minimally horny afterwards. Wish I had an extra pair of clothes, but that’s alright. I come out and see Jacob asleep on the edge of the bed.Isn’t he afraid to fall down?Delicate equilibrium though.I sit on the other side of bed, he turns to face me while laying. He isn’t asleep after all.“Nice bath?” He asks with his eyes still closed.“Yup!” Don’t ask fo
39. Cock Block - Natalie - . Me: You home? Ira: I won’t answer you until you tell me if he is single or not. Me: He is. Are you at home or not? Ira: Then fuck him tonight. Break your celibacy. Have some mercy on yourself and some guys around you! Me: Are you fucking home or not? Ira: Oops… Yes I am... Why? Ira: You sending me pizza or something? Ira: Hello!!!! you there? Ira: I sincerely hope you are busy smooching that hot neighbor. If not, you better have a good excuse for not replying. I smirk and shake my head at her message. I don’t get it. Why is she so eager for me to ‘get back out’ there? When I got into a cab and gave the driver her house address. I was hoping to watch her surprised expression. Little did I know it was my turn to be surprised. I know her building code, so I go ahead and enter it, instead of hitting the buzzer and waiting. As I knock at her door and patiently wait for it to open. To my astonishment, it’s Not Ira, not her mom, nor any other family
40. Dirty Thoughts- Natalie -.I call mom and tell her I won’t be coming home. She asks for Ira and talks to her for a while. We lie around watching Netflix and eventually decide to get out of the house for the night.“Liam told me there is a big party nearby. Some rich dude is throwing. We could go-”“Duh! I have no clothes, Ira…”“You could wear mine.”I scoff. “Your knee length will look like a short dress on me.”She rolls her eyes.” I am not that short and you ain’t that tall. So quit whining,” she says and starts browsing her closet for dresses.“Should I invite Liam?” She asks me hesitantly.“Only if you promise not to make me feel like a third wheel.”Then we get ready and head for the party.It was stupid of me to believe her. The dress is too short and I am totally the third wheel. This girl is crazy about Liam and Liam is infatuated with her. I can see them happily ever after if they decide to take each other seriously.Soon they forget I am there. So I wander around the
41. Embarrassed- Jacob -.Oh God, I had to embarrass myself.I stare at my phone screen, looking at the disaster I created last night. Why did I chat with her last evening? Just a pic and a voice note was enough and perfect.I check my messages once again to make myself feel worse.Me: ‘Wow you look fablous. Where are u?’Me: ‘Fablus’Me: ‘Fabulous… sry im dunk’Such an idiot. Can’t even spell properly. Made a fool of myself last night. Then I see the image she sent me. She looked absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t help but jerk myself off to her pic last night. It feels odd when I think about it now. I have never done this before, apart from that dream I had when I first met her. Not sure where that urge came from.I read more texts; I had sent her.Jacob: ‘You should hve stayed with me if you weren’t going hom’I wince, looking at more spelling mistakes. What’s ‘hve’ and ‘hom’, Jacob?It’s HAVE & HOME.Then I read further.Dull-Mean-Happening-Girl: ‘You had no spare tent Jacob.’Me:
43. Ira- Jacob -I hadn’t heard from Natalie since morning. Maybe I was getting antsy because I had sent her my apology at 6 in the morning and it was almost 9:30. It wasn’t like I was getting myself riled up barely two minutes later. It had been more than 3 hours.I didn’t want to wait another 24 hours to figure out if she had decided to quit talking with me again, So I called her. She didn’t answer my call. Instead, a musical voice did.Now it looks like I will be having my lunch with two girls. For some reason, I feel like they will grill me. Especially Ira.I park my car in Ira’s apartment complex and press the buzzer of the apartment building for her to let me in.“Who isss itt?” Ira asks in a musical voice again.“Somebody invited me over lunch this afternoon,” I answer her over speaker, grinning.“Ohh really!” She says.“Let him in already, God Dammit!” I hear Natalie’s faint voice.Then some scuffle and the door opens. I reach their apartment and Natalie opens the door.“Hey!
45. Missing her - Jacob - . This week was better than my first one at school. I underestimated how much I would miss Coco. Bought me a huge side pillow. No use. There is no warmth! Coco’s farewell bought me and Natalie back on talking terms, But I can see she still avoids me. Or maybe I am reading too much into the situation. This is the reason I need to keep myself busy. So I would just stop thinking about her. I should get out of the house tonight. It’s Friday night after all. West & team is having another get-together, but I don’t want to meet David & Sam outside our practice matches yet. At school, I am spending my time around West, Norris & girls. But I am irking Norris company a little. David’s words from that night come to my mind whenever I meet him. ‘What? That is a fact! Ask Norris.’ Natalie is right. Not talking to each other at school is a good decision overall. She & West aren’t on good terms. Norris probably spread rumors against her. The team often made demea
47. His first kiss- Jacob -.“Soo... Who is she?” Hanna asks me once the team leaves us alone.“uhmmm... Someone who’s probably not gonna happen...” I sigh and take a gulp of my drink.Hanna scoffs and belittles me again. “Thank God! Humanity’s procreation is not on your shoulders, Jacob... We would have gone extinct in no time.”I look at her with my eyebrows squinted. Where does she find those insults?“Seriously, are you interested in her? Is she your first crush or something?”I nod and say ruefully, “But I am not in the mood to talk about her...”Her mouth goes slack.“Noooo you don’t get to say that. Fuck! you didn’t tell me, Jacob...” She smacks my arm.“Not now!”She shrugs and pulls her phone out. “I am staying for the night at your place.”“I am not gonna gossip about her with you!”“I know I know. There are things I need to tell you.”Okay... Works fine by me.We dance and play games for a while, then we finally head home once I am feeling sober enough to drive.“Guess who
