Chapter 7
The next morning, I woke up to an empty bed.
Oh gosh…please don't tell me Nina and Paul are down the hall again…
I sat up and looked around the room. Our clothes were no were in sight and I looked on Ian's dresser. There was a shirt, jeans, a bra, underwear, and a note. I got up and read the note.
Jess – Went to the store be back soon. Ian.
Okay… he went to the store. Now what?
I took a shower, put my clothes on and went downstairs. The house seemed pretty empty without Ian, Paul or Nina in it.
Hm…
I went over to my cell phone and looked around the house for Nina's phone number. Aha! I dialed the number and Nina said she'll be there in a few minutes. Sure enough, she knocked on the door in about 10 minutes.
I opened the door and she smiled. "Hey!" and hugged me.
"Hi." I replied.
"So… What do you wanna do?" She asked excitedly.
"You've got a lot of energy, don't you?" I laughed.
"Yep! Hey, you wanna watch a movie?" She asked.
"Sure. Um…I don't know how to work anything though." I smiled sheepishly.
"That's okay, I do." She walked over to the television and turned everything on. "What do you wanna watch?"
Holy crap, this girl was just a big ball of shining light and energy. "Uh… I don't know."
She smiled. "Okay, how about 'Rules of Attraction'?"
"Uh…Okay."
She pulled a DVD off of the shelf. "I got this for him as a joke last year."
I laughed. "What did he say?"
"He blushed."
I laughed again and sat down on the couch. Nina pressed play and hopped over next to me.
About 30 minutes into it she said, "You're glowing, you know that, right?"
"Huh?"
"You and Ian had sex last night, didn't you?"
Me: Blush
She grinned and turned back to the movie. We were laughing our heads off every time Ian came on the screen. Just then, Nina turned to me.
"Can I ask you a…personal question?"
"Uh… sure…?"
"Are you guys…being..safe?"
"Huh?"
She smiled. "Condoms?"
"Uh…no…?"
Nina paused the movie. "You're not?"
"No…"
"I'm gonna have to have a talk with that boy." She laughed.
I laughed and she pressed play on the remote.
Wait…what?
What?
You haven't been using them.
I know.
Um…helloooo? NOT SAFE!
Shut up.
Ian walked in the front door, the first thing he sees is Nina and I literally on the floor laughing so hard at the dancing scene with Ian and Russel Sams. He walked around us and put the groceries on the counter, trying to see what was so funny on the T.V.
Ian blushed, then laughed when he saw what was so funny.
Nina and I couldn't breathe.
Ian stepped over us on the floor and turned the T.V. off.
"Hey!" Nina and I said in unison. Nina sat up and grabbed his arm, pulling him down onto the floor with us.
We were still laughing.
"I hate you guys!" Ian laughed.
"We know!" Nina said. We all got off of the floor.
"What are you doing here?" Ian asked Nina, walking into the kitchen, us following so we could help put them away.
"Well, your girlie got lonely and called me to do something."
I stifled a laugh.
"Get your mind out of the gutters, Jessica Fain!" Ian scolded teasingly.
I laughed. "It's hard to after watching that movie!"
Ian stuck his tongue out at me.
Nina laughed. "You guys are so mature."
After a few minutes, we had all of the groceries put away.
"So…" I said to Ian. Him, Nina and I were sitting on his couch.
"What?" Ian asked.
"Have you…had any…homosexual tendencies I should know about?"
He face went blank for a millisecond, then he laughed.
"I'm not gay, Jessica."
"Psh, HOW DO WE KNOW THAT?"
He leaned down and whispered in my ear, "I think that the scratches on my back are pretty good proof."
Nina's mouth dropped open in shock that he'd said that, and I swear I have never blushed that much in my entire existence.
I looked at him in disbelief and slapped his shoulder, then laughed. "You are such an ass!"
He grinned. "Whatever pleases you, darling."
"you-GAH!" I said.
"Well okay then…" He said mockingly.
"Screw y- NEVER MIND! NEVER-FREAKING-MIND!"
Nina laughed.
"Old man-whore ass." I mumbled.
Nina looked at me as if to say "WTF?"
"Inside joke." Ian said. "When we first met, she implied I was old, then implied I was a man-whore, then she called me an ass."
"Ah." Nina laughed.
"So…" Ian said putting an arm around both of us on either side of him. "What would you ladies like to watch?"
"Rules of Attraction." Nina and I said at the same exact time.
Ian rolled his eyes. "Fine." He kneeled in front of the T.V. and turned it on. We were just getting to the part where Paul (Ian's character) and Richard were having dinner.
"…Please take off your sunglasses" Richard's mom said.
I laughed so hard at what Richard did.
Richard's mom: "Richard, don't smoke."
Richard: Pulls out a cigarette in a fancy restaurant. "My name is not Richard."
Richard's mom: "Then what is it?"
Richard: "Dick."
We all laughed at the way he said it, but I could tell Ian was blushing a little.
Richard's mom: "So how's school?"
(Author note: I'm not going to write what he actually says, but trust me, go on YouTube and type in "Rules of Attraction Dinner Scene" IT IS HILARIOUS!)
I laughed so hard at what Richard said that Nina paused the movie to ask if I was okay and Ian was laughing at me.
"You should've seen it when I first saw that part. I actually had to pause the movie because I couldn't breathe!' (Author's note: That actually happened to me; I had to pause it b/c I couldn't breath LOL)
I stopped laughing and Nina pressed play.
Richard's mom: "Leave the table!"
I laughed at what Richard said, (once again, look it up =P) and started laughing extremely hard when he said to Ian's character Paul, "And F- you pretty boy!"
After the movie ended, Nina went home and Ian and I sat on the couch for a few minutes after she left. I was still laughing about the movie, and Ian thought it was funny when I stole the remote and fast-forwarded through the masturbating part, trying not to look at the screen.
"You do know I was just acting, right?" Ian laughed
"I don't care!" I squealed pressing the fast-forward button about 20 times.
Now we were just sitting there listening to each other's breathing.
"So… What would you like to eat?"
I shrugged and lay my head on his lap.
He looked down at me and smiled. "Okay…are you hungry?"
"Mm…not really." I admitted.
Ian looked at me curiously for a minute then said, "What are you thinking about right now?"
"What?"
"What are you thinking about?" He repeated.
"Uh…"
"Come on, seriously."
"I was thinking of the Vampire Diaries. Why?"
"I'm just trying to figure out what goes on in your head."
I felt a pain in my stomach remembering the times he'd been angry with me.
Wait, aren't you supposed to be trying to make him hate you?
Yes.
And how well is that going?
I kind of like him.
Does he like you?
Yes, duh.
Does he love you?
I…think so.
Are you sure?
Not really…
Ask him. Maybe you'll be surprised what he says.
Okay…
Do you love him?
I think so.
You think so?
Yes.
Hm. You better make sure.
"Jess? Helloooo?" Ian was still looking at me.
"Wha- sorry. What?"
"What are you thinking about right now?"
"This second?" He nodded. I hesitated, afraid of his answer.
ASK!
FINE!
"Do you love me?" I blurted, and immediately regretted it.
"What?" Ian looked shocked.
Crap. I shouldn't have asked him. Nice going.
I couldn't say it again. The words felt weird in my mouth. Do you love me? I thought at him.
""I…don't know." He said.
I narrowed my eyes. I searched his face to see if he was telling the truth.
"Huh?"
"I don't know…Why?"
I shook my head. "No reason. Just…wondering."
He rose his eyebrows at me.
I smiled and sat up so I could kiss him, hopefully distracting him.
Oh, it totally worked.
In a matter of seconds, our clothes were across the living room. We were pretty much making out in our freaking underwear.
YAY!UGH!WOO!CRAP!
Then he actually pulled away from me this time. "Jess, Why're you-" I cut him off. I really didn't want to talk, but I knew that if I didn't kiss him, we'd end up talking.
He pulled away again. "Jessica, why are you-" Dammit! Why can't he just get all brain-dead like the rest of the American male population?
I finally got Ian to shut the hell up, or so I thought. He's a lot stronger than me and he pinned me down on the couch. "Jessica? What are you trying to do?"
"What do you think I'm trying to do?"
"We're not having sex until we finish this conversation."
If I wasn't so pissed, that would have seemed funny.
Ian sighed, got off of me and went into the kitchen. I lay there.
WHOA! WAIT!
I got up and walked into the kitchen. "What the hell just happened?" I said.
Ian was drinking a glass of water and he looked up.
"Usually I'm the one who doesn't want to, and now that I want to, you just blow me off? What the hell?"
"Jess-"
"No! Why-you-we-GAH!" I threw my hands up, defeated and went into his bedroom.
Yes, I still call it HIS bedroom.
He is sooo weird sometimes.
Heh. You're one to talk.
Shut up. I'm sooo not in the mood.
