At school, I saw Jake, but he just ignored me. I guess I made him very angry this time.
I couldn't stop thinking about our kiss. I've never thought someone would kiss me like that. It was so passionate and so...hot. My entire body shook with awareness every time I remember how soft his lips felt and the way his tongue caressed the inside of my mouth. Ugh, who knew a kiss could turn me on this much and make a mess of me. I wanted more.
Screw you, Jake, for making me feel this way, I thought.
I guess I should be relieved since the whole ordeal drove Jake away from me. He was ignoring me instead of bothering me now. But why do I feel this pressure in my heart?
I saw him hanging out with Jenny Patterson at the cafeteria. Our eyes met for a brief second, but he glared at me and brought his attention back to Jenny. He picked up a lock of her hair and twirled it around in a flirty manner.
Jealousy welled up inside of me. That bastard wa
I should feel relieved as Aaron was so nice about the whole thing, but I still felt an ache in my heart. Something just felt wrong. Why couldn't I get Jake out of my mind? It was just one stupid kiss, and it didn't even mean anything to him. My phone buzzed all of a sudden, so I checked my text messages. Meet me in the park by your house. Jaketexted me. Ugh...what does he want now? Why? I replied. Stop asking stupid questions and just show up already,he texted. Only Jake can sound so aggressive through texts. I rolled my eyes. Fine, I'll play his game. I headed to the park. It was getting colder, so I zipped up my hoodie and put the hood on. I shouldn't have worn shorts. I thought as I shivered slightly. Jake was sitting on the swing, looking at his phone. The wind must've messed up his hair because it looked a lot more messy and wild, which for some reason, made him look even more handsome.
Jake teased me relentlessly for the next couple of days at school. Everywhere I went, he was there, flashing me his stupid boyish grin. He knocked the books out of my hands and kept walking one time. Ugh..how does he always figure out where I am? All of his attention towards me made other girls jealous. I found them glaring at me from across the hall from time to time. Great...I just went from being invisible to the biggest rival of Jake's fangirls. Fuck my life. I went to the restroom, and while I washed my hands, a girl approached me. She was tall and skinny with bright pink hair and a beautiful face. She was wearing a low-cut top that threatened the school code with straight-legged jeans. I recognized her as one of the seniors. "Hey, I need to talk to you," she said. Weird, she never tried to talk to me before. "Um...okay, what about?" I asked. "I am Mayra. You are Jane Brown, right?" she asked. "Yes," I said. "Well Jane, I
"A party?" I looked at Aaron questioningly. "Whose party?" "One of my old friends from high school. His sister is in your grade, so you might see people you know too," Aaron said. "Oh, okay," I wasn't particularly excited. I never liked going to social gatherings. I always ended up standing against a wall and watch other people have fun. Not exactly my type of fun. "Don't worry, it'll be fun," Aaron reassured me. Will it, though? So I started to get ready for the said party. It was a Saturday night, and I had nothing to do anyway. I borrowed one of Liliana's dresses. Well, more like blackmailed her into giving it to me. I had no cute clothes. Usually, I didn't care how I looked, but things are different now. I didn't want to look like a bum next to a stud like Aaron. I've got a reputation to maintain. I put on a red body-con dress. I lined my eyes with some eyeliners then lightly glossed my lips. I let my hair down and curled it into loose wav
I tried to scream, but one of the guys pressed his palm on my mouth to muffle the noise. The other one picked up my legs then they proceeded to carry me somewhere. "Have fun, guys! I bet Jake won't want you if you are not a virgin!" Mayra yelled out and laughed. I tried to struggle out of their grasp but failed miserably. They took me inside a room and dropped me on the bed. "Mayra said you were ugly, but I think you are pretty fucking hot, don't you agree, Mike?" one of the guys grinned and said it to the other guy. "Yeah, she ain't half bad," Mike chuckled. "Guys, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. I don't know what Mayra told you, but I am not trying to steal Jake from her," I said desperately and looked around frantically. I don't know how I am going to get out of this situation. "Frankly, We don't give a fuck what's going on between you and that pink-haired bitch. We just want some pussy," Mike said and hovered over me.
"What do you mean both of you will date me now?" I stared at them with wide eyes. What kind of weird situation is this? "I mean, you can date us both until you decide which one of us you like the best," Aaron said. Their preposterous proposal absolutely mortified me. I looked at them back and forth to see if they were being serious. None of them were laughing. What kind of girl do they take me for? "I am sorry, am I being punked?" I asked, still trying to process what just happened. "Look, Janey, I like you a lot, and so does Aaron. And I also love my brother, so I don't want to fight him over this. So this is the only way," Jake said. "You two are out of your mind! What about me? You can't just decide that for me! I am not some toy you get to pass around, you jerks," I cried. The audacity of these two. "I am sorry, Jane, but we don't think of you as an object. We just both want a chance to be close to you. And we refuse to give up on
"Ahh, Jake! You are going to squeeze me to death!" I yelped and struggled, but his arms tightened around me. "I am only doing this because you always run away from me," Jake muttered into my hair. I was taking my books out of the locker when Jake came up and hugged me from behind. "Did you make a decision? Who will it be? Me or Aaron?" Jake's eyes bored into mine." "Yes, and my decision is... NEITHER! You are both crazy, so I'm not dating either of you," I said. "I'm gonna date that guy instead!" I pointed at a random guy by the water fountain. "Carlos Ramirez?" Jake looked at me questioningly. "Sure, yeah. Hey Carlos! Wait for me!" I squealed and ran after the poor unsuspecting teenager. I went and grabbed his arm and gave him a big bright smile. You can't resist me now, Carlos. He gave me a pure confused look. "Errm...hi, who are you?" Carlos asked. "Your new girlfriend, silly. You are single right?" I asked c
No, I wasn't going to date two guys at the same time. That's not who I am. I hardly wanted one relationship! I met both of them by accident, and now they both want me. What kind of twilight zone bullshit is this! But one thing for sure. Getting so much attention from them sure boosted my confidence! Aaron complimented me all the time. His calling me beautiful made me think I've been hard on myself for all these years. Maybe I wasn't ugly after all. And Jake...well, he wouldn't be caught dead complimenting me directly, but once in a while, he'd slip and say something sweet, but then try to cover it up with his endless teasing. Freaking idiot. "What is this I hear about you dating both Aaron and Jake Morris?" Liliana asked me one day. "I'm not dating them both. That is absurd," I denied. "The rumor is circulating all around the school. I don't even have one boyfriend, and you get to have two? That's just not fair!" she whined. "Well, dea
"OW! Son of a motherfucking asshole!" Jake screamed and laid down on the back seat. He held his crotch and groaned in pain. "That's what you get for getting all rapey on me, you idiot," I said. "Ugh Janey...it hurts," he whined. I felt kind of bad. Maybe I kneed him harder than I intended. I ran over to him and looked down. "Are you okay? Did I break your balls?" I said with fake concern. "I don't know, take a look," he said and pulled me down on top of him, then flipped me over. He tricked me! "Get off of me, you imbecile," I struggled underneath him. "Not until you apologize," he laughed. "No way, you should've kept your hands to yourself," I whined. His eyes softened. "Yeah, sorry. I got carried away. I'd never force myself on you, I promise," he said. Jake? Apologizing? That's a first. "I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to hit you that hard," I said. "I think I'm okay. We can still make a
Things went back to normal after the trip. No more Trevor vandalizing Aaron's properties and no more ex-boyfriend drama, at least, for now. Aaron gave Bella an awkward apology which she accepted wholeheartedly. It seems that she decided to ignore Aaron's harsh treatments against her and continued to obsess over him despite him having a girlfriend. What a persistent girl! It was near graduation, so Jake and I prepared for college. Jake was taking a year off so he could be with me despite my protests. "We are applying at the same college because you are not allowed to be separated from me," he declared. "Excuse me...don't I have anything to say to this, Mr. Possessive? What if I don't want to go to the same school as you?" I demanded to know. He leaned closer and stared into my eyes intensely. "You don't?" he asked. His brown eyes were dark, and sadness flickered in them. "Don't look at me like that. That's not fair," I whined. "What are you talking about? Look at you like what?" h
Four of us decided to go to an amusement park. It was a nice day out, perfect for some outdoor activities. "Oh, look! A Ferris wheel. Let's ride that. It'll be so romantic," Macie said enthusiastically. "Booriiing!" Jake and I said at the same time. "We are riding THAT," I said and pointed at a roller coaster that looks like death. Jake nodded in agreement and gave me a high five. Ah...I picked a good one. "Suit yourselves," Aaron said and smirked. We split up and went to our designated rides. Few minutes after the ride was over, we went to look for Aaron and Macie, but they were nowhere to be found. So we walked around for 15 minutes but didn't see them. "Um...should we be worried?" I asked. "Nah, they are adults. If they are lost, that's not our problem," he shrugged. I laughed. "Stop being a jerk and call them!" I exclaimed. "Fine," he grumbled and called Aaron. He put the phone on speaker. "Jake and Jane
It turned out. My parents hadno problem with Aaron tagging along with his girlfriend. More the merrier, they said. So off we went, onour family trip. Never in my life have I imagined that I would be vacationing with the Morris brothers. Maybe I was in the twilight zone. The ride to my grandma's house went smoothly except for the fact that Liliana glared at Macy once in a while. I guess she still didn't accept the fact that Aaron would date anyone else except for her. A thought flashed in my mind. What if it was Liliana who was doing all these crazy things to Aaron? Nah...no way. She might be a bitch sometimes, but she isn't a psycho. "Stop staring into the distance and pay attention to me," Jake growled in my ear and turned my head to face him. I came along to their hotel to spend time with him since I wasn't allowed to stay in the hotel with him. "What are you thinking about? Is it another guy? I'll kick h
"I can't believe you went over to her house and asked her questions. You are nuts," Jake remarked when I told him about Bella. "Tell me something I don't know," I rolled my eyes. "So, what do you think of her? Did she seem like a crazy person?" Jake asked me and looked at me curiously. "Nope. Not at all. She seemed like a perfectly sane person. Although, she did admit she still likes Aaron," I said. "Who still likes Aaron?" Aaron walked in. He must've overheard our conversation. "Bella Davis," I said. "And how do you know that?" he raised his eyebrows. "Through her excellent detective skills," Jake replied for me. Aaron shook his head. "She is just so...ugh," his face was turning red. Wait...is he blushing? "I can't believe you managed to avoid her this whole time," Jake chuckled. "I've been very careful," Aaron said. "She is really not that bad. You should give her a chance. And she is so pretty
"Who would do this!" Macie cried. "I have an idea," I said. Jake looked at me with surprise. "You do?" "Well... it's just a theory but, didn't you say that girl across the street used to stalk Aaron?" I asked. "What girl?" Aaron was confused. I guess he didn't run into his new neighbor yet. "Wait, did you not notice Bella Davis moving in front of us?" Jake smirked. "Sorry, I forgot to tell you." Aaron's eyes went wide as he had just heard the most terrifying news. Man...this Bella chick must be something else. "Please tell me you are joking!" he exclaimed. "I'm not joking, unfortunately for you," Jake said. "She asked me about you and everything!" "Fuck...goddammit," Aaron cursed. "Who is Bella Davis?" Macie asked. She looked confused. I don't blame her. "A total psycho. I can't believe you didn't tell me sooner. I bet this is her handiwork," he said and pointed at the note. "There is no
I nervously knocked on his bedroom door. I hoped Aaron was telling me the truth and Jake wanted me back as much as I wanted him. "GO AWAY, AARON! I said I don't wanna come out," Jake and from inside. "It.. it's Jane," I said. The door flew open. "Janey!" he cried and threw his arms around me and pulled me into a hug. I buried my face in his chest. "I thought you would never speak to me again after the way I treated you. I'm so sorry," he whispered into my hair. "I'm sorry too. For everything," I said. My eyes were full of tears. It felt too good to be in his arms. "It wasn't your fault Janey. I was a jerk to you and my brother was the biggest idiot on the planet," he reassured me. "I deserve that!"Aaron shouted from another room. I tiptoed and smashed my lips against his. "Ouch!" he cried. Shit, I forgot his nose was messed up. "I'm so sorry!" I yelled. Jake laughed.
I pushed Aaron off, but it was a little too late as Jake saw us kissing. I prayed that he didn't misunderstand me. All I wanted was to comfort Aaron because I felt bad for him. "What the fuck are you doing, bro?" Jake demanded to know. "Claiming what should be mine," Aaron said. "I'm not your's, Aaron! Stop saying stuff like that!" I protested. "Why would you let him kiss you, Janey?" Jake looked at me. "I didn't! He kissed me. I was just talking to him, and he..." "You went too far Aaron," Jake turned to Aaron and scowled. "She is my girlfriend. She picked me! Just get over it already. Why can't you just be happy for me?" he said. "Because I'm tired of looking out for you. My whole life, I put your needs before mine. I got into fights with people in school only because you started shit with them and couldn't fight them by yourself! I took blames for you!" Aaron shouted. I guess the rumors were all lies. Aaron wasn't a
On the night of the dinner, I sat in front of Jake and Aaron's parents. The atmosphere was intimidating. "So you are Jake's girlfriend? Jake never brought a girl before, so this is a surprise," Jake's mom Tracy raised her eyebrows at me. What's so surprising about it? I thought but didn't ask. "That's because Jake acts like a fucking asshole all the time, so he never had a real girlfriend," Aaron barked. "Watch your language at the dinner table, son," their father Michael commented. If they only knew I was a hoe and tried to date Aaron first. Yikes. "In case you forgot, big bro, you weren't so angelic yourself," Jake said. I fidgeted nervously. Hopefully, this dinner doesn't turn into some kind of brotherly dual. For once, I want a peaceful night. "At least I admit my faults. But, unfortunately, you are still an immature jerk who takes things that didn't belong to him," Aaron's face was slowly turning red as he was getting angry.
I felt like it was all my fault for creating this messy situation. I shouldn't have gone out with Aaron to spite Liliana. He was an amazing guy, and he deserved better. I hoped this situation wouldn't mess up the relationship between the two brothers. "What are you thinking about?" Jake asked me. We were hanging out at Jake's front yard after school. "Aaron," I said and sipped on my juice distractedly. "You have the audacity to think about my brother when I am sitting right in front of you?" he remarked. "It's not what you think," I said irritably. "I just feel so bad. He had been nothing but a sweetheart to me, and look at what I did. I sighed. Jake moved closer and kissed me on the cheek. "You did nothing wrong. He is just throwing a mini tantrum because I got the best girl." his eyes were sparkling. I blushed. I couldn't be too mad at my decision. Jake is a cutie patootie. "JAAAAKE!" I almost spit my juice out when I heard a
