My relationship with CJ a long time ago. We grew up together. Neighbors actually. I have always though or CJ as my brother more than anything else really. Yes he is good looking. He's 5'9" muscular, great smile, great personality, and he really gets me, but I guess the reason why I never really pictured the two of us together as a couple was because he treats me like a sister as I him as a brother.
Through out our jr. high and high school years we were very close. He would be my big brother and protect me when I needed it and he would also be the fun and adoring brother like figure for me.
It came down to us going away to college. We both got accepted to the same university so we would be able to see each other almost on a daily basis.
After spending 2 years in dorms on campus we both decided to get an apartment our junior year of school together since we go a long so well. Our junior year is what really changes our relationship forever.
-Present-
"CJ!" I yelled. "Can you turn that down please?" I look across the room to find my roommate and best friend watching sports highlights on ESPN.
CJ hits the 'mute' button on the remote and just looks at me in his sarcastic way. "Is that better?" he asks.
I roll my eyes at him and smile. "I'm trying to focus on this history chapter, I'm trying to study." I say in a serious tone.
CJ walks over to my desk and places both hands on the top. I feel his gaze on me. I try to keep my focus and not look up.
"You know, I think you study just a little too much."
I finally look up and meet his gaze. "NO...I think YOU study too little. Don't you have a term paper or something to write?"
CJ grins at me "Nope I got that all started and I am almost done."
I wonder to myself how he can be almost done with such a big thing...I rarely see him work on his homework.
He takes his hand and closes my textbook. "Come on lets go out and do something. It's a Friday, we had classes all day and it's now 8pm. We are college students. We NEED to do something."
I throw my highlighter at him...
"fine...."
He gives me one of his adoring smiles and just says "SWEET!"
We then spend the next half hour getting ready for our night on the town.
We arrive at our destination. One of the town's best clubs that we attend every so often. We see some of our friends standing in line waiting to be let in by the bouncer.
CJ quickly steps in line "Jenny come on hurry up before someone takes your spot" he says sarcastically to me.
I quickly jump into line next to CJ and wait for the bouncer to finally let us in.
A few minutes later we were let in. We showed our IDs to the guy in the both and he put wristbands on us to identify that we were 21.
CJ grabs my arm "LETS GO!" he pulls me onto the dance floor near our friends and we start to dance along with the current song playing.
Since it was a Friday night the club was packed and we both were really hot and sweaty just after a few songs. He leaned into me so I could hear what he was going to say. "I'm going to get us a few waters ok?" I smile and nod and watch him walk off into the big crowd on the dance floor.
I turn to a few of my friends beside me who were still dancing. We smile at one another and we all head to a big table that just opened up.
We all slump ourselves into the chairs. I asked Brit and Allie where their boy toys went. They just smiled and pointed to the bar.
Brit then leaned in and asked me why CJ and me weren't dating. I just smile and shake my head. "He's like my brother...besides I don't think he is interested..."
I let the sentence trail off as I see CJ and the other two boys come back from the bar. CJ hands me one of the bottles of water and sits in the chair beside me.
After what Brit just asked me I couldn't help but think of CJ and me being a couple. CJ tired to say something but I just acted like I didn't hear him. I wasn't ready to look into those adorable eyes again.
After a few minutes rest CJ grabs my hand and smiles. Come on...their playing our song. I realize that the DJ is playing one of our favorite songs and I happily follow him out onto the floor.
We start to dance as the dance floor started to fill up again after a bar rush between songs. CJ grabs my hand and pulls me in closer so that I am not bumping into all the other dancers on the floor.
Still holding my hand he turns me around so that my back is against his chest and he place his other hand on my hip. We start to move as one with our dance moves. I don't think much of it and continue dancing.
