I woke up, all sweaty.
What a dream. NO. What a nightmare.
I ran downstairs and grabbed my keys.
Janice's POV:
"Janice!" I heard somebody called me.
I turned around to see headlights coming towards me. I stopped walking and saw that it Jace's car.
"What?" I said.
"Get it the car," he said.
"Why should I?"
"Gosh, why do you have to be so complicated?"
I continued walking. I heard him got out of his car. He turned me around.
"Look, I had a terrifying nightmare and you were in it," he said. "I just want you to be safe."
"Why? We aren't dating," I said.
"Yeah.. but we're friends," he said.
"I wanna walk home," I told him. "I want to be alone."
"Well.." he said. "I'm not gonna leave you alone to walk by yourself at night."
"Why, you-"
He picked me up and had me over his shoulder.
"Jace Rivers! Let me down right now!" I yelled hitting his back.
"No, you were being stubborn," he said to me.
"Let me go!" I screamed.
He slapped my ass.
"Ow! What the hell?!"
"Stay still," he said.
"No!"
He slapped it again.
"Your ass is actually really fun to slap," he said.
He took me to his car and putted me in the passenger's seat. I had my arms crossed.
"Move," he said.
I lift my arms up and he buckled the seatbelt.
He looked up at me and his eyes met mine.
"Uhh.." I said.
He shook his head. "Yeah, sorry."
He closed the door and ran to the driver's side.
He drove, but not to Addi's place.
"Why are you taking me here?" I ask him.
"You're staying here for the night," he said.
"What? Why?"
"Because I wanna make sure you're safe."
"Gosh! Why do you care so much? Addi's my best friend, she can take care of me. In fact, I can take care of myself," I told him.
"Stop being so stubborn and let's go."
I groaned and got out of the car.
He opened the front door and we went in.
"Hello Janice!" Fiona greeted me with a hug.
I hugged her back the we released.
"Hi.. Fiona," I said.
"Oh!" Dina said. "Hi Janice!"
"Hey.."
"How are you Janice? I haven't you seen you ever since court," Fiona said.
"I'm fine," I told her.
"Well... How are you and Jace?" She ask me.
"Mom.. we broke up," Jace told her.
"What? Why?"
"We're just... we decided to just be friends," I told her.
"Yeah, really good, close friends," Dina said.
"Okay then," Fiona said, then clasped her hands together. "Are you staying over?"
I nodded. "Yeah.. I guess. If that's okay with you, Fiona."
"Oh yes! Of course sweetie!"
"You can borrow some of my clothes," Dina offered.
"Thanks."
Dina and I went upstairs in her room.
"Wow, you have a lot of lingerie clothes," I told her.
"Yeah, well, I'm a lingerie model," she said. "So.."
I look at her. "So what?"
"You.. and Jace. What's going on?"
"Nothing," I answered.
"You.. you don't feel a connection towards him?"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, here, take these," she said handing me some clothes to wear. "Don't you like Jace?"
"Yeah, he's a really nice guy," I said.
"Yes, he is. Just, all the sleeping with random chicks is a habit for him."
I look at her confused. "Where are you going with this?" I ask her.
"Oh nothing," she said, avoiding my eyes. "You'll see for yourself. He seemed to care a lot for you lately."
"Well, yeah, it's because we're best friends."
"Ohhh, best friends now.." she said. "I know about the bet."
"Oh.. you do. Did Jace tell you?"
She shook her head. "I'm not dumb."
"Okay.. I never said you were..."
"Yeah, anyways, you sleeping with me?" She ask. "Or Jace? There's no other rooms."
"Uh.. doesn't matter," I said shrugging.
"Okay.. Jace it is!"
"Uh.. let's not.. I mean, I can sleep here... if you don't mind."
"No, of course, I don't mind."
I sigh. "Dina, are you trying to get me and Jace together? Or I mean, back together? We were never really INTERESTED in each other. Just sex buddies."
She handed me a towel. "Here's your towel."
I roll my eyes at her and she just laughed.
I walked to the bathroom and Jace came out.
"Oh.." Jace said. "Hi."
"Hey," I said.
He came out and I walked pass him.
He was shirtless and had the towel covering his bottom. He had another towel over his shoulder.
"Excuse me," he said. "Sorry."
I was about to close the door but then opened it back up.
"Thanks," I said to him.
He turned around. "For what?"
"For.. caring for me," I said, with a smile.
"Yeah," he said. "That's what friends are for, right?"
I nodded and closed the door.
What is this feeling?
