The Bet

CHAPTER 13: Old Times

KORINNA

Okay, I really need to take a picture of this or record this in some way and use it later as blackmail or something against him.

He is studying right now and that alone, despite rather or not it's at my house with me, he's studying and doing homework. Now, granted, he has always been smart and gotten good grades but still, never really seen him study or anything like that.

Then again, we haven't been friends for a while or necessarily hanging out after school to do our work.

"If you want to make out we can." He says while writing something down.

"What?" I asked pretending he hadn't seen me looking over at him.

"I know you're checking me out. If you want me to kiss you I'd be more than happy to oblige." He winks and smiles at me

"Please...." I tell him while rolling my eyes and continuing to writing notes on the story.

"Well, my eyes are hurting anyways. We've been nonstop doing homework for since we got here a few hours ago, let's take a break." He suggests.

"Fine. But we are coming right back to this." I tell him.

"That's cool." He says.

We close our books and put them aside on the table before heading into the living room, sitting on the couch near each other as we try finding something to watch.

"So what looks good?" I ask.

"You." He says.

I look at him.

"Come on. Be serious." I tell him.

"I am. But....if you had been more specific and told me you meant what sounded good as far as watching TV goes, then I would have to pick Bob's Burgers." He says.

"Okay." I said and turned it on.

We sat there and watched a couple of seasons before we both mentioned how hungry we were and started to crave of course burgers and fries even though I actually wanted onion rings instead.

So we ordered for delivery from a place not too far from here and we ate while continuing watching some more Bob's Burgers.

When we were finished, I hadn't realized in how late it had gotten.

"I can't believe it's already close to midnight." I yawn a little.

"Damn, I didn't realize. My bad." He says.

"Neither one of us paid attention." I laughed.

"Well, I'll get going." He says and I don't know what made me say the next thing that came out of my mouth but for some reason, I had seemed to feel safer when he was around. For a while I've been scared to being alone here at night.

"Wait." I say. "If you want to you can stay the night." I suggest.

"You sure?" He asked.

"Yeah. I'd like that." I smile at him.

"Okay, do you have an extra blanket?" He asks.

"Oh, I was thinking maybe you can sleep in my bed with me." Oh my god why did I just suggest that?

"Are you really okay with that?" He asks.

"Yeah." I reply again with a smile and nodding my head.

"Okay." He smiles.

We pick up our dishes, trash and everything before heading upstairs.

I will admit that I am feeling a little nervous but again, safe.

When we get to the room, I go into the bathroom and get into my pajamas then when I come walking out and into the room, I notice him shirtless and already under the covers already with his hands behind his head as he smiles at me.

"Are you..." I began to ask and he laughed a little.

"Don't worry, I've got my boxers on. Unless you want them off." He smirks while moving his eyebrows up and down.

"It's okay. I'm good." I tell him.

I walk over and turn off the light then get underneath the covers and face him. He then turns onto his side facing me and we look at each other for a moment.

I suddenly start to laugh at a memory.

"What?" He asks.

"I was thinking about when we were little and we had our first sleepover together. We made a fort made out of sheets and stayed up all night laughing and watching movies." I began to say.

I noticed him continue to look at me and then he started to smile.

"We always had fun." He smiles.

"Yeah." I smiled.

I started thinking about maybe I should ask him why we stopped being friends but I didn't want to ruin the moment, so instead we just said 'goodnight' to each other.

I really do miss those days and hope this is for real and that he is truly trying. I don't know what I would do if I had found out otherwise.

Next chapter will be posted soon! :)
