"We don't talk anymore."
That's what I said whenever my friends asked me about my "friend" Nick. Nick and I were really good friends at one point in time. One of those friendships that turned into a friends with benefits relationship without the pretense. We did our own thing while doing each other in between. Hey, if men can do it, why can't I?
So, it's been about four months since Nick and I last spoke. We had a stupid argument and I decided to never talk to him again. I'm talking zero contact. No texts. No calls. He tried texting me a few times but I didn't respond. I didn't know if I'd actually never talk to him again but we're both stubborn and determined.
Well, after a while, he texted me with a long apology and asked me if I wanted to hang out with him. I wasn't mad anymore, so I decided to put on my big girl panties and go see him. That, and I was really horny.
We liked the same TV shows so we decided to have a movie night. I met him at his house and he greeted me at the door.
"Hi, Jayde," he said with a smile on his face. He had such a cute smile. And just like that I forgot why we ever fought. There he stood, in all of his handsomeness. He looked good after four months; his hair was even more curly than when we met. All his hair made him look older. I liked it.
"You look nice," he said to me.
"Thank you. So do you," I said with a smile.
I thought I looked pretty normal. I didn't put that much thought into my outfit. Just flared jeans and a blue top with my chest exposed.
I could tell that he'd been working out too. He hugged me and body was significantly wider than he was last I saw him. His biceps were bigger. So was his chest. Like he'd been lifting weights.
"You smell really good," he said, nose buried in my neck. He was maybe a few inches taller than me so he had to bend down.
"Really?" I said somewhat skeptically. It surprised me that he noticed something as simple as Bath & Body Works' vanilla-scented lotion. Wow.
He led me to the living room and said to get comfortable. I sat on his couch with my legs stretched out across the length of the chair. I waited while he rushed to the shower. He always showered after work. Some things never change. He came back in his gym shorts and a t-shirt.
"Excuse me," he said politely.
I put my legs down for him to sit beside me. There was a perfect square cushion between us and it annoyed me. I put my legs on his lap. I already knew we weren't going to get to the watching television part of our day. He felt the material of my jeans.
"What kind of material is this?" he said slyly.
