" a date... with jayden... a date with jayden. thinking about going on a date was weird enough, but adding jayden to the equation it seemed especially odd. she was nearly giddy, but it was still hard to wrap her head around the concept of them dating. she may have seen in him in that light for a long time, even though they'd both vehemently denied they felt anything more then friendship towards each other, but she'd never seen anything ever coming from it. she was beyond convinced that her crush was fleeting and something she'd just get over. then there was a self conscious part of her that was pretty sure that if her crush was more serious it was simply one sided. what would jayden really see in her? he knew all the bad parts of her, he saw her without make up and looking adorable more often then he saw her all done up, not that she really put that much effort into all of that stuff anyways, but that was not the point. he'd seen her bruised and ugly in a hospital bed, all the girls that pretty much threw themselves at him on a daily basis at school had never been seen in such poorly states. there wasn't anyone of them that weren't at least a little bit prettier then she was, they had more experience and they didn't abuse him on a daily basis, why would she expect him to look at her and say "hey, i think this is my future girlfriend." yeah, she just never saw that happening, it only happened in movies, the movies that she never put much stock in further then, "that looks like it might be fun to mock." yeah, that was her thought process, oh well, she didn't do the normal girl stuff so well. it was all a bravado thing really and never being encouraged to break out of her tom boy ways. it made simple things like picking out what to wear on a date - your first date - seem completely impossible. it shouldn't have been, she had lots of clothes to pick from all fairly girly she had a slobbering love affair with maxi dresses, but she was fussing. what was worse is she know she was being ridiculous, jay had seen her looking like a bum, like literally, messy hair and raggedy sweats, dirty from wrestling with one of the dogs or trying to extract cassandra from some mud before their mother saw. there was no need for her to fuss so much over what she wore, yeah she shouldn't show up looking like she'd just wrangled cassandra from the mud but she didn't need to be putting so much thought into it. this is probably why she'd never had a serious issue with not being able to date when she was doing the gymnastics. it was so much easier not having to worry about things like this. some girls were going nuts but for delilah it was pretty much a non issue. she wasn't one of the girls who saw no use for boys and thought nothing of medals, medals, medals, - though medals had taken up a good ninety five percent of her thoughts - for delilah it was that she'd never been able to find a guy that she liked enough to think about wasting the time to sneak around dating. then there was this terrible habit she had of comparing them to her jerk of a best friend that she tried to deny she liked as anything more then her best friend, by calling him a jerk and teasing him at any opportunity provide. which made her sound meaner then she was because it's not like he suffered all that much he spent just as much time teasing her, it was just the way they were.
" honestly, it was probably what they did the most of, anyone who didn't know them left a conversation with them thinking they either fought like they were married or wished they could push the other off the cliff, and a lot of the times delilah was inclined to agree with both. there were times when their fights were real, they never ever really lasted all that long, but when you fought with someone you've talked to everyday for as long as you can remember any length of time feels uncomfortable. of course, aleks - their friend who thought she was cupid incarnate, not that delilah could really deny she didn't fall into the same school of thought - said this was mostly due to the fact that they were in love. which both jayden and delilah denied, fiercely. an if you ask aleks; "too fiercely". it was all out in the open now, thanks to a very courageous (oh and drunk) jayden telling her that he loved her, but because it couldn't be that easy he had to go and forget about it all in the morning. which led to stubborn delilah refusing to tell him what had happened because insecurity said that if he really meant it he would've remembered and that led to a very uncomfortable couple of weeks trying to avoid him because she'd suddenly turned into 'girly emotionally retarded delilah', which had finally culminated in an outburst that was worthy of any coming of age movie or epic romance - the kind that jay and lilah watched to make fun of. they would become one of the couples they like to mock, of course. that's just the way the universe worked sometimes. admittedly, she had mostly been afraid of the transition, how awkward was it going to be? would they get into it and then realize that this was too weird, that they were just thinking they felt something, brought on by so many expectations of them getting together? it was a little weird, she couldn't lie, not overly weird, but it also felt normal, easy and natural. they weren't up to aleks and dominic standards of nauseatingly cute, though she was content in never being that cutesy. that would have been really weird, but sitting on his lap or walking with his arm around her or a quick kiss on the cheek before they had to go their separate ways for class or something; that was nice. it was bound to be as gooey as they were going to get, which she couldn't complain about. with the way aleks went on about it, they might as well have been giggling and staring into each others eyes and doing all that stuff still made delilah sick. though with aleks there was more smugness then anything, even thought the weirdness that had preceded delilah telling aleks about her and jay, aleks was still insanely smug. more smug then delilah thought she could muster up, but she had. though she was pretty if the situation were reversed she would have been just as bad... oh wait, that's right she had been. she'd done the same when aleks and dominic had finally started dating - hello karma, nice to meet you, i'm delilah.
" for once though, and this would probably be the only time it ever happened, she was actually happy she was wrong. though, when it came to love and aleks, the second you disputed anything she said when it came to a couple you should just be prepared to be wrong. still, lilah had herself convinced that aleks was just very lucky with some of her predictions, it was just coincidence she shouldn't think that because aleks had told her a couple of times that jay was in love with her and that lilah was also in love with him that she could put any faith in anything ever coming of it. though being wrong had never felt so satisfying, she wasn't going to make a habit of it, certainly not, but she liked it this time. pretty much she was still too happy to be anything less then pleasant, it had even spilled over into her relationship with her brother who hadn't been able to get a rise out of her since she'd told jay she loved him - and he remembered it. she didn't expect it to last all that long, well at least the being nice to sam part, eventually she'd get irritated but for right now she was still walking in almost a happy daze. one that had broken into nerves tonight as she drew her thoughts back to her closet. she was going to be late because she was being an idiot and trying to pick out clothes. "pull it together," she muttered to herself, before she bit her lip, shut her eyes and just reached in and grabbed the first thing out of her closet, pulling it carefully from the closet she opened her eyes and examined her pick, a black to brown maxi dress. "you couldn't have just done that an hour ago?" great now you're talking to yourself. she shook her head, running a hand through her long ebony waves, she'd actually took the time to hit her hair with a curling iron, to give the natural waves a little more style. she took off the loose t shirt and pajama bottoms she wore trading them for the dress, frowning a little at the deep neckline, which she chalked up to over thinking again. she turned to her vanity where she kept an extensive collection of make-up that only a few items only ever saw constant use, she applied some lip gloss and hit her eyelashes with mascara, barely dusting a thin layer of a sparkly gold shadow. this is so crazy... a date. she ran a hand through her hair again and jumped when she felt tugging at her dress, she looked down at her sister and smiled, "where are you going?" delilah hesitated for a moment, she hadn't actually brought up the whole thing with her parents yet, her dad was really trying to get that no dating rule to carry over, he liked jay but she was pretty sure it'd dissolve quickly if he thought jayden was in any position to either deflower his daughter or break her heart. "me and aleks are going to the movies, say, why don't you go get me a necklace or something?" delilah said, smiling down at cassie, " i want to go, because i want to play with lissa." she said whining, "lissa isn't coming, it's just me and aleks..." cassie frowned, but the prospect of rifling through Delilah's jewelry went a long way to cheer her up. knowing cassie was going to pass the information along to her mom she now kind of had to ask for the car, aleks' house and the theatre weren't as near as the school, which was where she was heading.
" fielding more questions from cassie and making promises that they would do something with lissa soon, delilah took a few minutes to calm her nerves before she exited her room, where she was almost immediately met by her mother. "i won't tell daddy what you're really doing," she said, knowingly, "be careful." delilah felt a hot blush come across her cheeks and she hugged her mom to hide her face, yeah, moms always knew. "i will." she said, before she took the keys from her mom and heading down the stairs, stopping to kiss her dad on the head as she passed through the living room, taking the car gave her less time to shake of the nerves that were building in her stomach, she felt kind of silly for it, this was no big deal. they hung out all the time, this should just be like normal. still, when she reached the school she wasn't convinced, she pushed another calming breath through her lips before she got out of her car, grinning as she saw him standing a few feet away, "hey," she said as the knot of butterflies in her stomach seemed to explode with activity, she tried to ignore them as she hugged him, but they got a little worse and this time her heart decided to play funny with her too. "the school?" she asked, trying to bring back a calmer, semi flippant attitude, "don't we spend enough time here already?" she teased, running a finger along his jaw, pretty sure that the way she was staring up at him was about as gooey as she'd teased aleks and dom about being. of course.

- - This was the last time he’d put his faith in a TV chef. ‘so easy anyone can do it’ was a straight out lie, obviously, he was someone and he had managed to fuck it up in every way imaginable. Staring in frustration down at the mess he’d created, which had produced nothing remotely edible, he realized why austyn – or anyone else for that matter – always stepped in whenever he tried to make anything. Unfortunately his sister had been out most the day, the same day that on an insane whim he had decided to try and cook something, though even with her there he was sure he would have found a way to botch it. “hey-” rang out his sisters voice as she entered the kitchen, her smile fading as she glanced around, “jayyyyy…” the cheerful tone rose to an anguished whine, “what have you done?” he flashed her a sheepish look, “…I was trying to make something for.. uh…” he stopped himself before the word ‘date’ escaped his moth, and cleared his throat, “I was hungry..” he offered, knowing by the look on her face she wasn’t fooled, “awww… jaylicious, you have a date or something?” she asked, grinning wickedly, obviously enjoying his discomfort. They were pretty close, despite the age difference, but still, this was the stuff he avoided talking about with her. “no, no… I’m meeting with dels later and, I-” yeah, he was not helping himself at all, “with Delilah? Double awww.. about time jay…” she said with a laugh, pinching his cheek before leaning on the counter, “that’s what your wearing?” she asked then, wrinkling her nose a touch, “…uh” he paused, and looked up, “… yeah, why? Whats wrong with it?” he asked now, feeling a touch self conscious, “oh.. nothing” she offered with a shrug, which was honestly more annoying then if she had just come out and voiced whatever objection she had. Frowning, he shook his head, “I hate when you do that…”he muttered, trying to ignore her knowing looks as he shuffled around the kitchen, tossing his failed attempt into the bin and dumping everything else in the dishwasher.
- - "Urgh..” he grumbled, finding himself back in his room minutes later, actually fussing over what he was wearing. “you’re being a fucking girl..” he declared rather hotly at his reflection, shaking himself out of it and exiting the room. He was just making for the door when his sister appeared again, “found something else to criticize have you?” he asked sourly, his good mood evaporating, only regretting it a little when a look of offence wove across her face, “I do it for your own good…” she told him serenely, her smile appearing again quickly as she fiddled briefly with the collar on his shirt, “you’ll do…” she added after a moment, regarding him with a touch of resignation and giving a sigh, “oh thanks aust, I feel the love, I really do…” she merely smiled and patted the top of his head, which while he stood a good few inches above her still made him feel kind of small, “relax jay, its going to be fine” she told him, picking up on his nervousness straight away,, “shes put up with you this long, I don’t think theres anything you could do now to mess things up” hardly comforting words, and he rolled his eyes, but said nothing, it would do him no good to try object, “have fun..” she said, holding back a laugh, shaking her head as she returned to her room.
- - Walking out to his car, he double checked he had his phone and wallet before sliding into the front seat and turning the car on. It felt a little like cheating, stopping at the shop to grab some things on his way, but it was probably for the best, less risk of either of them ending up with food poisoning. Pulling up at he killed the engine, sitting for a moment and looking out at the field before grabbing the bags beside him and making his way up toward the stands. There really weren’t words to describe how nervous he felt right now, and it was weird for him. He was the guy who was always relaxed, always confident, that never let things get to him. Sure there was the flutter of nerves when you were lining up for a penalty kick that could win or lose you the game, but that was about as bad as it got where he was concerned. It was ridiculous really, he saw Delilah practically everyday, they’d spent countless hours together, were forever arranging things to go see or do, so tonight shouldn’t really feel so out of place to him. Casting another glance over at the stands, he let out a slow breath and smiled to himself, satisfied. Hands in pockets he walked casually over towards his car, glancing around and then checking his watch. There was still ten minutes, but he felt edgy all the same. Looking up at the sound of a car, he was a little surprised to see it was Delilahs, he was half expecting her to turn up on her bike, or walk. “hey yourself..” he returned, his gaze sweeping less than subtly over her, before returning to her face. Wrapping his arms around her he gave her hug, before letting them drop loosely around her waist, “I feel like telling you how beautiful you look right now would be kind of redundant since you already know…” he began, smirking lightly, cutting in before she could object, “but I’m going to anyway…” he told her, kissing her lightly, “you look beautiful..” he said, a faint smile on his lips. To her question he gave a laugh, and grinning he shook his head, “I try to be romantic and this is the thanks I get?” he teased, chuckling lightly, taking her hands and pulling her out onto the field. To anyone else a date on a football field was probably about as far away from romance as you could get, but this was where they had their first – or really second – kiss, so he felt it was kind of fitting. It really wasn’t like him to be sappy and nostalgic, but he figured this was one of the few times he could make an exception, “right here..” he began, halting and giving her a wide grin, “this is my new favorite spot, you know why?”he asked, sliding his arms around her waist and pulling her close, “perhaps I should refresh your memory…” he added then, grinning insatiably, and not waiting for an answer he leaned down and kissed her.

" there was honestly no reason to be nervous. it didn't matter how much she repeated it it didn't seem to calm her nerves. she couldn't even properly lie to herself, what the heck? as much as she wanted to chalk it up as a no big deal thing it kind of was, it was their first date, her first date period with her first boyfriend. even though they spent pretty much all their time together it still felt so different. it was another one of those flipping up in the air and relying on six of inches of wood to land on is no problem but a date with the person you've only known for years, yeah, let's slow down there. if nerves and excitement weren't her primary emotions she probably would've been more irritated, her girliness had to kick in now? with this? why not when she'd thought riding an intertube down a hill at the park after a solid weak of heavy, heavy rain had turned it into a veritable waterfall and she'd ruined her clothes and sprained her wrist? why couldn't she have been all nervous and too freaked out to move then? if he weren't waiting right there for her she would've totally taken a few minutes to herself in the car, but as the thought crossed her mind she felt ridiculous. she urged herself to kill her nerves as she'd stepped out of the car reminding herself that this was only what she had been waiting for for what seemed like forever. when she reached him the nerves seemed to peak and held steady, her heart changing it's rhythm as he checked her with absolutely no subtlety, par for the course for any guy especially him, but it went a long way to help kill her nerves funnily enough. the butterflies were still there they were constant little things honestly, ones she hadn't been able to get rid of when he was around, ones that she realized had been ever present before he'd kissed her the first time they had just been easy to ignore. it was amazing the things one could keep buried when they were in denial. looking back on a lot of it she felt a little like an ass but mostly she felt kind of silly she knew how he felt, they both had to know how the other felt, they let themselves second guess too much. why she had no clue, they both didn't do that, they weren't scared. half of her wondered if everything would've felt this good without this build-up, something she'd applied to "the kiss", the first kiss was good even though it had been unfairly too brief but the second kiss... there were just no words, she'd been completely unable to properly describe it to aleks which had earned her a lot of teasing, but she'd thought for a minute or two that it was so great because of the sort of the came before it, all the tension. she was wrong... again.
" the tiniest things made her smile like an idiot, or her stomach roll, all those girls she'd made fun of over the years, yeah she was totally eating her words now. she understood completely now how you could be so giggly or blush so much. understanding didn't mean she still didn't feel a little silly because she did, she tried to convince herself that it wasn't that big of a deal but it was nearly impossible. it only heightened her frustration with the sudden emergence of her long repressed girly feelings, but then he said something or grabbed her hand and she was no longer in any mood to be irritated anymore. he said things like that, that made her cheeks turn a deep shade of strawberry, she dropped her gaze from his, shaking her head and looked back up as he spoke, she grinned and chuckled lightly. as his lips brushed over hers her butterflies erupted again, even light and small and she felt like she was on fire. it was just crazy but she wasn't complaining. "thank you," she returned, not recovered enough to try and be a smartass with him. "and you look good, of course." yeah, compliments were a definite sign his kisses scrambled her brain too much. they'd gotten a little less antagonistic, insults were down but they still teased each other to no end. compliments made a little bit of a rise, but she couldn't completely stop from taking playful swipes here and there, she was just a little more careful in her words and tone. everyone was well aware that delilah was constantly sarcastic and joking around but it didn't mean she was always taken as joking. delilah laughed at his words, measuring them for a moment, 'romantic' wasn't the first adjective she'd pin on jay, she had to admit she was a little impressed by it, she'd gotten all that gushing out with aleks though and now she could afford to tease him a little. she smiled softly, "I am very, very impressed." she said, with a light laugh before she continued, "i won't let it get out though, i wouldn't want to ruin your reputation as a badass." delilah said, leaning forward ad lightly brushing her lips over his.
" lilah let him tow her to the field, grinning at the excitement she'd seen dancing across his face and her stomach flipping as he stopped and turned to face her. she was all too aware this had been pretty much the exact spot on the field that had changed everything. her dark eyes trailed up to his face, struck for a second by how dead sexy that grin was on him, "i'm completely stumped," she said in answer to his question feigning thought as she let him pull her closer wrapping her arms around his neck, trying to ignore the heat that rose over her skin everywhere his skin brushed hers. the brief seriousness that had taken up residence on her face faded quickly into a grin at his words and she was prepared to answer him with something like "please do" or "by all means", but he'd already obliged her, she balanced on her toes trying to meet him sooner and smiled into the kiss, they should have been doing this ages ago, stubbornness didn't pay off as much as she'd like to think. she let her fingers thread through his hair before she let her other hand fall down his shoulder to his chest and rest on his stomach pushing lightly as she reluctantly pulled back from him, she dropped back to flat on her feet resting her head on his chest for a minute trying to catch her breath, giving a little laugh and shaking her head, "definitely my new favorite spot too," came her breathy words, looking up a smirk trailed across her lips at a memory, "though i think the spot in my hallway where you drunkenly walked into the wall will forever hold a special place in my heart." she teased, laughing, "oh, oh or the guest room because i keep replaying you struggling to figure out how a shirt worked." when she'd tried to stop herself from checking him out and she hated that she had blushed thinking about that, but she wasn't going to admit it. the fact that she could even refer to the guest room now was a feat, she'd had a total hate-hate relationship with it up until the kiss that had lead to tonight, she glared at it every time she had walked by and while it had held amusing drunk bits she could have used to hold over him, it was also kind of like the epicenter, that's where everything had happened where it had all started. now, she walked by it and couldn't help but smirk, especially when she was with her dad. she didn't get away with much when it came to her dad and it's not like he would've really minded that jay had crashed there, it was better then him getting hurt being stupid and drunk but kissing and then technically sleeping together, yeah, that was a no go.
" thinking about her dad brought on a little guilt, everyone in the world knew that she and jayden were no longer denying that they were in love but her family, well her mom had a fairly good idea but delilah was pretty sure she could read minds. she wanted them to know but her concern was her dad, he'd kind of want to kill jayden, he could be her best friend but not her boyfriend. he could spend all the time he wanted at the house and taking her out and all kinds of stuff but he was not allowed to be her boyfriend. she was pretty sure the tenuous, easy-going relationship jayden and her dad had would be pretty much shot to hell when he found out, "i know i shouldn't even be thinking about this right now, but.. my dad doesn't know about this and i'm scared what's going to happen when he does." she admitted knitting her eyebrows together and looking up at him, before she shook her head, "no, no i'm sorry. another time." she said returning to the grin that seemed to be default around him by now, "just you and me tonight, no stress, no drama." she announced, her tone mockingly stern and trying to arrange a serious look on her face, but failing miserably and returning to her grin with a laugh. though there was a little need to just relax, things had been kind of intense lately with all the aleks drama, it was hard to adjust aleks being a mom even though it was something they'd teased her about and she was worried that aris was going to start spreading it around school, her tension was impossible to ignore and it was starting to rub off on the group. delilah just wanted to be selfish tonight.
this is tagged to jayden/the wonderful affy.<3 & it is complete , and i've got about 1679, well it's shorter then last time lol. things to say to you. you can find the threads i'm rocking right here. i've got to give a shout to liz for the amazingest banner yet & me for the template, lyrics belong to jason mraz & colbie callait . oh! i can't forget i have to say; lolol. i don't know how it happens, i really don't. i'm writing and then i'm like "oh shit, hello novel." don't worry about the wait, if you don't have the time or muse you just don't. ^.^ and btw jayden is adorable. c:

- - Y ou lucky, lucky man was his first thought, watching her step from the car, only a little frustrated by the dress that, while looking stunning on her, completely ruined his ability to admire her legs and ass, something that he had found himself doing a lot more of lately, especially since he no longer had to be discrete about it., or feel weird that he was checking out his best friend. As if his ability to be oblivious to every girl around him except Delilah wasn’t bad enough as it was, since that kiss after his game it had only gotten worse, but could you blame him? She was captivating in every sense of the word. The low neckline was a small consolation, but not much, he was definitely a legs man. It really was too bad she had developed an obsession for these long ass figure drowning dresses, and not something more useful. Booty shorts for example. Really though it didn’t matter what she was wearing, she still had his imagination running wild, it was shocking really, and he was glad she didn’t know what he was thinking about half the time.. most of the time, of course, he figured she probably had a pretty good idea. You wouldn’t think it was possible, but his jokes had definitely got dirtier, generally only when they were alone together, though that didn’t always stop him, instead he’d just whisper inappropriate things into her ear, and grin wickedly at her trying not to blush or giggle. He really wished he’d manned up earlier than this, it was kind of sad when someone like dominic had more balls than him, but at least he had, and he wouldn’t go back to the way things were before if you paid him. Sure, being friends had been great, but this was better in more ways then one. He raised a brow, regarding her with mock suspicion, “ okay, wheres the real Delilah and what have you done with her? ” he demanded, only managing to hold his face straight for a few moments before grinning. Maybe he was imagining it, but he could have sworn she’d gotten nicer, towards him and just in general, she wasn’t even complaining about Sam as much as usual. Of course that could be due to the fact that she had less to insult him about now, she couldn’t exactly make cracks about his sexiness anymore, or about being gay, though she had definitely tried, she’d finally kind of given up on it since she only got smug smiles in return. Every effort she’d made to humble him had been undone with those three little words, and his ego had only been further fed by the reverence he’d received from his guy friends, Delilah had been regarded as somewhat unobtainable, at least until now. Pulling back from the kiss he offered a smug smile, “impossible ” he stated, chuckling, “ my badassery is simply undeniable..”
- - He offered her a grin, appreciative that she was playing along, it wouldn’t be unlike her to just call him out, completely ruin his fun. He thought it was pretty impressive that he’d remembered the exact place, when it came to the finer details, he could be kind of ignorant about things. It would have been easy to get caught up in the moment, it was an intense moment, and one he’d probably still remember when he was old and grey. Its not like it was his first kiss, he’d kissed other girls, dated other girls, but they were stop gap measures, ways to distract himself from realizing the most obvious truth. His feelings for Delilah. They’d crept up so slowly on him, he didn’t even realize they were there, until he’d caught himself staring at her in a way that a best friend definitely shouldn’t be. He smiled into the kiss, his arms tightening around her waist, a testament to his self control that they remained there, instead of dropping any lower. He grinned her words, too breathless to reply. His face fell, but only for a moment, “ don’t remind me.. ” he lamented, shaking his head, before a devilry glittered in his eyes, seeing and opportunity to get her back, “ what about the bed… where we slept together?” he asked, his tone husky and suggestive, “ doesn’t it even get a mention?” he pressed, grinning at her a expression.
- - He smiled gently, the look of worry on her face as she looked up at him was adorable, distracting him for a moment from the subject at hand. Her dad was someone he avoided thinking about, recently at least . It was all well and good to joke about him being some kind of mob boss when all that existed between them was friendship, but now? now it was more than a little worrying. Even if he wasn’t secretly allied with the mafia, he was a dad, and while his own had never seemed to have much of that father instinct, he knew it existed in her dad, he’d already seen it in action. Besides that, one look at the guy told you he was not someone you’d want to mess with, then of course, there was also Sam who; while less threatening couldn’t be discounted . He couldn’t help but grin at her attempt to be serious, it wasn’t one of her strong points, “ I like the sound of that.. ” he murmured silkily, tilting his mouth to her ear, his lips brushing past it and settling briefly on her neck. “whether you’ll be able to keep to that, I’m not so sure.. ” he teased, drawing back, his expression only a little smug. Generally whatever drama that was going on, and there was always something, didn’t really bother him that much, he’d act interested when Delilah was venting to him about it, but further than that he was content in remaining a spectator. But finding out that aleks was a mom was a little different to the general trivial girl gossip, especially with the way it was affecting the group, with the way it was affecting Delilah. She was a worrier, this he knew only too well, because of the numerous times that she had demonstrated it at his games, and this time was no different. “ and I’ll talk to your dad” he added after a long moment, reaching up and cupping her face, his gaze tender, full of thought. It wasn’t in him to sneak around, or go behind anyones back. As much as he was dreading even the thought of having to go talk to him, her dad was an issue that wasn’t going away, and jayden was the kind of guy that dealt with things directly. It was an attitude that was at times his undoing, but its just how he was raised, it was the way his grandfather was and it was the way he learned to be, though he probably still had a lesson or two to learn about diplomacy. Leaning forward he kissed her again, before releasing her and taking her hand. “ I hope your hungry…” He said, offering her a grin as they made their way towards the stands and the what was quite possibly half the supermarket. He’d gotten slightly carried away, grabbing anything that he saw that he knew she liked. He figured that was the easiest, and most full proof method, cover all his bases, and then there was a pretty good chance there’d be something she’d actually want to eat. “all store bought, unfortunately.. ” he began, gesturing for her to sit before joining her, “I tried to cook you something, but it didn’t work out so well… ” he added sheepishly, “apparently my ineptitude with household appliances also extends to cookware.. ” he joked, giving a shrug.

" delilah may not have ever been the easiest person to get along with, she was a sweetheart for the most part but she had a dry sense of humor and was quick to sarcasm. something the counselor she'd had to see after the accident and the resulting depression said was some kind of bogus coping mechanism that delilah had discredited so much she'd hardly remembered anything more about the sessions then things to mock. with jayden it was always knowing he'd had a big enough ego, she loved the guy in every possible sense but his ego was seriously annoying and there was no way she really needed to make it any larger, not to mention any compliment afforded him was suddenly dissected by any of her female friends who tried to find some sort of hidden meaning in her words, she hardly got girls herself she wasn't sure how she expected guys to figure them out. aleks always came to the conclusion that they were in love, which okay she was right, but it hardly mean she wanted that flaunted especially when she didn't think he felt it back and she had still been trying to deny it. which had obviously been fruitless on both ends since everyone pegged it in them within five or so minutes after they got over the initial wondering of whether they were even friends at all, she feigned offense and at his question, "hey," she hit him squarely in the chest but with hardly any force, oh yeah she was going a little soft, but it'd wear off soon and she'd be back to hitting him like she always did, though she'd gladly kiss those wounds for him. cheesy, lilah, really cheesy. "don't be rude. it's not attractive." though, if we were being honest, there wasn't much that could make him unattractive in her eyes, excepting when he was being gross, not the dirty jokes that made her blush gross but general guy grossness. if there were a downside to being this crazy for him it had definitely cut down on material for jokes, how could she tease him about his looks or keep up with the seemingly never ending quips about his sexuality, obviously he was not gay and obviously she didn't think he was unattractive. it left her with little to tease him and she didn't really have the inclination either. she hadn't been this happy since before the accident, she thought waking up to his face in the hospital had felt pretty great but it was nothing compared to his kisses, or the absent circles he drew across her back while he did homework and she chatted with aleks in free period. an amuse smile made her lips twitch, while she may have tapped into her softer side now, jays ego had taken a turn for the worse. "of course, how could i be so silly?" she commented dryly.
" before that day on the field she would've have told you that there was nothing compared to the rush you got sticking a difficult combination, coming off the uneven bars in an easy graceful moment and listening to the people screaming and cheering for you that was almost as good as the sensations of flying through the air, dispelling fear completely away. now she'd tell you there was nothing like that kiss, it had the same theory, completely throwing away fear. that's what had been holding them back, fear of the unknown, of getting hurt, rejection, ruining what they did have. for two people so completely fearless they sure knew how to be incredibly chicken shit, though she was pretty sure she'd not take back too much of it. sure, it still hurt her stomach a little thinking about the time after their first kiss when he didn't remember, that was almost enough to break her heart, the feelings that had filtered through her in that space of time was only one of the reasons that she'd been dead set on not telling him, if he could make her feel that way over forgetting a kiss what was it going to be like if they broke-up? things had happened that way for a reason and it didn't really matter how they had gotten to where they were now just that they were. all she cared about was the pull of his arms around her waist, pulling her tighter to him and the way she felt his lips curve under hers. she brought her forehead from his chest so she could look up at him, very much amused at the barest traces of embarrassment she saw dancing across his face. she caught the change in thoughts too late to pulling him back into a kiss or jump in with something else, that look spelled no good, she'd seen it enough times on his face and the glint that same to his eyes told her it was going to be one of those inappropriate things that was going to make her blush. of course she was right, the words and the pitch of his face turning her cheeks scarlet and even shivering a little against him. yeah, if they were going to get technical they had slept together, not in the popular sense of the phrase but they had shared a bed. the comment was designed to make her mind jump to sex, which it did and like always it made her a little uncomfortable. it had never been an issue with her, because of the gymnastics and never having a boyfriend and never meeting a guy she'd ever wanted to have sex with. even jay she just didn't want to have sex with him, she wanted it to be special when or if the time rolled around, with which kisses like that might have been sooner then she'd imagined. he liked to exploit her uncomfortableness with the topic quite often and over time she'd gotten better but it was still weird, especially when sex cropped up into their conversations as much as it did. she tried to drop her gaze from his amused eyes knowing it would only fuel her inability to answer him without being too flustered. "there was.. that...." she began, still keeping her gaze away from his face, not sure how far she wanted to play it, and decided not very far she gave a weak chuckle and put her face in his chest again, shaking her head for a second before she pulled back a little less visually flustered, but still at a loss for words, he shouldn't be allowed to jumble her like that, especially over something that was so innocent. they hadn't woken up with her using him as a pillow, mostly because she had woken up in the night too hot to find she was pressed tightly to him her head resting on his shirtless chest, she'd ditched her hoodie and then rolled over as far as the bed would allow. "but, uhm yeah... you walking into a wall is funnier, by far." she finally managed, blush blazing across her cheeks again. wow, you're a dumbass.
" jayden was hardly playing fair, how was she supposed to get irritated with him when his lips were teasing the skin of her neck like that, she bit her trying to work up a little irritation but failed, miserably, all she could muster was a cheap, "ha ha." which was one of the go to retorts for a third grader. his words took her back for a moment, her dad was a scary dude, him and jayden got along but him and jayden got along as father and daughters best friend, she knew her dad wasn't going to be so gracious about him becoming her boyfriend, she was kind of worried, she liked jayden alive and completely unharmed, she'd gotten plenty of horror stories from her cousins about what their dad's and done and while most of her was pretty sure him going to her dad would result in hours of talking, none of which would be allowed to be repeated to her. there was still some worry he'd take a page from one of her uncle's books. "you'd talk to my dad?" she asked, she liked the idea in theory but some of her nervousness washed over her question. she followed him attention piqued and she smiled down at all the food, which was made up of pretty much all her favorite foods. of course she reached for candy first, but looked up at him puzzled by why it was so "unfortunate" "you tried to cook for us?" she asked a small smile tugging at the edges of her lips, it was more then a little surprising, it's not that she didn't find jayden incapable of being super romantic... okay, no, that was pretty much it, but she wasn't complaining about these changes, seeing that kind of effort from him made her indescribably happy. again she was surprised how something that simple could mean so much even though he'd failed, it was jst one of those "it's the thought that counted" kind of thing. and really it did. knowing he'd tried made her a little giddy as she smiled up at him, it turning to a grin as she saw the sheepishness take his tone and smile. her next thought was to feel kinf od bad for austyn, no doubt he'd have left the mess or she just would've offered to take care of it and delilah was pretty sure it looked like a disaster area. he couldn't cook and he couldn't do laundry, oh my, she dropped her sweet back on to the wrapper, a hand trailing over his face for a second before she brought his face to hers, "you're kind of hopeless... but i love you." she said her breath fanning across his lips before she kissed him lightly, when she pulled back she let her hand rest on his cheek, staring up at him for a moment before she spoke, "how about i just do the cooking from now on?" her family had certainly had the money to keep someone around for that but it was another one of those things her mother didn't have to make sure the kids didn't grow up into brats, like making sam and delilah baby-sit every now and then. sam had been taught to cook just like delilah, while delilah had flourished with the intricate italian dishes sam couldn't be bothered to properly prepare condensed soup. she enjoyed the cooking even the intricate process of sometimes making their own pasta and she enjoyed watching her mom cook, sure, delilah wasn't the greatest chef in the world but she enjoyed the process even so. by far her favorite part was seeing people enjoy her food, she didn't mind having to cook for a lot of people or for just herself and jay, it'd be fun, really. "i know people say it's the thought that counts a lot, but really this time it does, it was really sweet of you try."

------ He found himself stifling a laugh at her hit, it was weak, at least by her standards. He’d gotten harder ones just from laughing or smiling at a totally inappropriate moment, which he was horribly prone to, or from simply being in the way when she was irritated over something. But that was pre-kiss delilah, post kiss delilah was more subdued, she actually hit at the level a sixteen year old girl was supposed to, you know, a normal sixteen year old girl that hadn’t spent the greater part of their life doing gymnastics, and wasn’t twenty times stronger than they looked. First time she’d ever punched him he’d almost fallen over himself, he definitely wasn’t expecting her to be able to punch like that, and he wasn’t used to it, austyn was more of a hair puller, or a scratcher. It was definitely another of the many upsides to making the jump from friend to boyfriend territory, but he figured it would wear off sometime soon, and thursdays man basher protégé would be back in full swing, so he should just enjoy it while it lasted. Not that he’d ever really minded it, sure he’d grumble about it, but the fact that she could punch hard enough to make him wince helped keep him in check. Yes, it was actually possible for him to be worse than he already was. Cocking his head briefly to one side he frowned, gazing down at her questioningly, as though he honestly didn’t know what she’d hit him for. It really didn’t matter how many times the innocent act failed him, how many times it just made her more annoyed – which could be just as amusing in itself - because there were the few times, the very rare few times, where it actually worked, and they were enough encouragement from him to persist. He shrugged, unremorseful, “it was a compliment, kind of..” yeah, he was amazing at that, saying the exact thing that would only make things worse for himself, “I’m sorry, im just not used to you being nice to me. Takes acclimatizing.. ” he offered, which really wasn’t much of an amendment. At her question his lips drew into a wide smile, and he gazed down at her, he knew better than to chip in with a smartass comment, but it was right there, on the tip of his tongue, and he was having a hard time resisting.
------ It was crazy how quickly things could change, a couple of weeks ago he wouldn’t have imagined that he would be here, kissing her like this, holding her like this, referring to her as his girlfriend. His girlfriend. As many times as delilah had voiced her worries about not having a boyfriend, about ending up a spinster, he knew it was only a matter of time before some guy managed to win her over, the only reason one hadn’t managed it was because she came across as completely and utterly unobtainable, which she had been, until the accident had ended her gymnastics career, still, old habits died hard. Not that he was complaining, he could admit now, he would have been horribly jealous, and mostly likely, really rather horrible at hiding it. Subtle was not his forte. Never had he imagined it would be him that she finally relaxed her no dating rule for, as cocky and confident as he was, he’d always thought of her in the ‘out of my league’ kind of way, which was a category that held few other people. He chuckled at her reaction, the way she shivered distracting him briefly from the blush that had flooded her cheeks. It was too easy, really. Gazing steadily down at her, he let a finger trail slowly up her spine as she fought to form a coherent response, knowing full well that he wasn’t helping matters at all. Shaking his head at her, he chuckled, threading his hand through her hair he tipped her head down enough to press a kiss to her forehead. “we could always make it more memorable.. ” he began, his tone once again taking on that husky quality, “ I have a couple of suggestions.. if your interested ”
------ He’d always enjoyed playing up sexual innuendos around her, actually that was an understatement, took malicious pleasure in was probably closer to it. The shyness and awkwardness, borne from the very little contact she’d had with boys in a romantic capacity, and all the blushes that she couldn’t always cover, it was great. But that was nothing compared to the sort of reactions he could elicit with a kiss, on the lips and otherwise, he’d quickly found that her neck was a particularly weak point for her, and much more effective at getting him off the hook than his smiles had been. Though they still worked pretty well too. This time was no different, his mouth tipping briefly against her skin at her response; it was well short of her usual witty retorts. He watched her expression change, watched the worry sneak back onto her face, even though he knew she was trying hard not to let it show. It was times like this where he was glad that he had years of history with the girl in his arms, that he knew her better than almost anyone else, because she was never easy to read, she was too good at disguising the way she was really feeling. It used to frustrate the hell out of him, sometimes it still did, but over time he had learned her expressions, learned what they meant, learned how to tell them apart. Not that he needed to do that as much anymore, aside the rather momentous secret of being totally and completely in love with her, and totally and completely in denial about it, he hadn’t kept anything from her, and he was sure she did the same. Or at least, he hoped that she did. He smiled, hoping to reassure her, “ of course, we’re tight…” he responded, kissing her briefly, “ I don’t expect it will absolve me from threats of castration, but I’m sure I’ll at least get out of it alive, you know? ” he chuckled then, opting for flippancy with the subject, “ don’t look so worried, it’ll be fine, promise. ” he assured her, which didn’t quite wash all the worry from her face. At her question he chuckled, “don’t look so surprised… ” he replied, grinning, though he really couldn’t blame her, anyone would think he was allergic to any form of domesticity considering the great lengths that he often went to in avoiding it. It was actually rather creative how he managed to, inspired even, if only he channeled that into more helpful areas, like school perhaps? He’d even tricked Delilah into helping him out on occasion, she usually wised up to it pretty quickly though. Too quickly. He let his face be pulled towards hers, a smile pulling across her lips at her words, and the subsequent kiss, he reached up to cup the back of her neck, knowing she’d pull back before quicker than he wanted, but he wasn’t quick enough, and it was written clearly across his face as he gazed down at her. His discontent, however, was quickly washed away at her words, “I have no objection to that.. ” he responded with a grin, pulling her back into a kiss, a longer more satisfying one, that left him a little breathless as he reached for a strawberry, his gaze flickering back her as she spoke, “ insane more like it, I totally get mankind invented take away… its much easier… ” he added with a shrug, “ anyone can do it... ” he muttered under this breath, shaking his head, “ that tv chef lied to me, I should sue ” he added jokingly.

" delilah knew - even though she had vehemently denied it to anyone who had brought it to her attention - she'd been losing her edge. not just where jayden was concerned either. there were still the people at school that made her want to kick a dog, the people that made you irritated just by hearing their name, but with most other people she'd softened here and there. something levi and gabe loved to tease her about and made aleks near giddy. it wasn't something she intended to keep up for too much longer, she figured it was one of those things that was just going to fade soon. she loved her strength, physically and other wise, it was something she'd always prided herself in, worked hard to cultivate it. she wasn't going to be one of those pushovers, it wasn't something she'd just picked up in gymnastics either - though most of her physical strength she could say came from the intense training. ever since she was little she'd been the same stubborn, independent girl. she wasn't to be babied when she'd fallen, she didn't need any help when it came to anything. she'd caught flak for it before, but it was mostly from the people who'd learned the hard way she was able to take careof herself. "a compliment?" she questioned, her brow arching and an incredulous look crossing her face, "really? you couldn't think of anything better then 'it was a compliment'?" she snorted shaking her head, smiling up at him as he dug himself deeper and deeper - which really seemed to just be an amazing talent of his. she'd never known someone so adept at putting their foot in their mouths or making things worse for themselves then he could manage at times, it was normally pretty amusing, when said ministrations didn't involve her. "sometimes you really just shouldn't talk..." she said laughter overlapping her words as she shook her head, "you just ask for me to kick your ass," she continued, amusement glittering in her eyes, after she'd spoken again she could see the same urge to speak again, no doubt to say something that was completely sarcastic, something she'd opened up to herself with her question - even though it was rhetorical, they both routinely ignored such formalities if they had a decent opportunity to tease the other. the devilry that rubbed off on her lit her dark eyes as she tilted her lips up to his jaw, "this" she started, smiling a little as her lips moved over his with her words, "is one of those times you just shouldn't talk..." she said before she moved to her tip toes so she could capture his lips.
" he thoroughly had to enjoy her discomfort with this, dug the hell out of the way she squirmed anytime the conversation between them turned undeniably south. it was one of the only times she could feel embarrassed because she thought she was being immature, with a lot of things she'd made up for the lost time gymnastics had wedged between them, she'd probably tried every greasy, pre-packaged horribly bad for you food she'd gotten her hands since she'd broken out of the "my life is over" phase after the accident. some of the heavily enforced rules she hadn't broken out of. okay, mostly just the one... more because of her parents then anything, her dad who would love for her to start dating at eighty and stay a virgin until she was ninety five. over time it could've just become one of those things she snuck around doing, none of the guys had seemed worth it. not when she was always jayden as the standard, at least. something she hadn't been able to explain why she'd done it, though she'd tried to blame it on him always being around, one of the few people she was convinced she could spend a solid twenty four to forty eight hours with just them and not find herself bored, even though there was a good chance that more then once in the given time they'd have tried to kill each other, but still of course she'd compare other guys to him. right? aleks thoughts on that ran through her head and she ignored them, because now it didn't really matter if he'd been the standard or not, or if she'd ever thought that even if she were interested there was no way he could feel the same after all the years stacked between them. something she really would've advised her friends was exactly the kind of thing you wanted. someone who'd seen you through hell and back, someone you were so comfortable with it was as easy as breathing. she tried not to blush under the intensity of his gaze, hoping to make up for her idiocy at being unable to properly respond to his question about the bed in the first place, but she felt her cheeks heat as he drew the finger up her spine the skin practically searing, even thought the fabric of her dress. the kiss on her forehead was sweet and brief, but he'd easily switched tracks again, which she hadn't expected much different it was jayden, number one, and number two guys seemed to be just that talented at meandering every conversation back to slightly more licentious topics. his words had made her blush barely, partly expecting he'd say something like that helping to keep it manageable. "i'm sure you do..." she returned, trying to treat the exchange with flippancy, "and what if i told you i was?" she asked, letting her eyebrow arch as the question tumbled from her lips with ease, her tone taking on it's usual tilt that would make him wonder if she were serious or just teasing him, playing along - she wasn't even sure which way she was going, honestly.
" he knew what he was doing all too well at this point, he'd picked at her weaknesses easily, using the new found knowledge and ability to use it as much as he could to try and dig him out of him saying something stupid, or to calm her down when another person had pissed her off. she could feel the smug smile turn his lips as she'd fallen short with her comeback, which was exactly what he wanted, he knew exactly what to do. it didn't take much for delilah to intuit his mood shifts, what the smiles meant, when they were real or fake, when he was trying to keep something from her, the way his eyebrow knitted meaning he was in concentration or ready to rip someone's head off. it was the little things really and delilah wasn't sure if it was just a general talent of hers or something the years had just taught her about him, the years of watching him too closely. she'd never really needed to employ reading people all that often, her and dominic were frank and besides the whole lissa secret with aleks it was the same there, and really she'd know aleks was always hiding something all along but over the years a chronic meddler like delilah, the fixer, the person who hated to see any of her friends in pain and tried everything to change it had known when she needed to back off. generally she was easy to talk to when she'd slipped into her rare serious moods. jayden was harder to pull things out of when he really wasn't up to talking about it, though she'd picked up quickly what he was saying when he wasn't saying anything or picking out the truths he was giving up without realizing it. it was a cheesy thing but she dug the hell out of being able to get him like that. at times she felt bad he didn't have the same ease trying to figure things out when she was trying to push him away, the frustration on his face before she'd blown up, cried for the first time in years and he'd kissed her flew back to the forefront of her mind and she felt bad. it was habit. putting on a brave face was too far ingrained from the years of gymnastics and just her general want to be perceived as anything but weak. you had an injury? who cared, you kept going. she'd tried to pull up that old mask now, but her tone had already given away the majority of her wariness and it was hard to push all the worry from her face, even as his lips brushed over hers - a trick he was employing to get himself out of trouble more and more and one that was properly addling her brain enough for it to actually work. she tried to make her laugh sound as convincing as they both wanted it to be but her eyebrows were still pulled in slightly, "just... stick to his den." she said, "seriously, just the den. the living room if you absolutely have to." not that she didn't doubt her dad could properly put the fear of god in anyone without the aid of anything he'd find in the garage or the guest house he'd turned into a room that showed off his most prized everything when it came to guns and the normal scary mobster boss stuff. she smiled softly at his words, "i can't help it." she admitted with a light laugh, it didn't even take years of friendship to peg him as one of the people that had been blessed with any predisposition for domesticity. "yeah, i figured you wouldn't." she said with a smirk before he'd brought his lips down to hers and he was making up for her too short kiss just before, it was one of those kisses that seemed to increase the butterflies in her stomach tenfold, when he'd finally pulled away they were both trying to catch her breath and the slightest tint bloomed over her cheeks. she laughed at his words, "where would you be without it?" she asked, she'd always the type of person she saw sticking strictly to tv dinners and ramen when left to his own devices at university and the time between he'd gotten a wife or moved in with a girl who'd take on cooking duty. "i think the disclaimer is," she began, titling her head up so her lips brushed the skin of his neck as she spoke, "...anyone with half a brain can do it." she teased before she pulled back, laughing a little as she took the still untouched strawberry from him and took a bite from it.

------ He let a smile cross his face at her incredulousness, and merely shrugged again, knowing better than to argue the point further, it wouldn’t get him anywhere . But honestly, for once it wasn’t that much of an exaggeration, to her maybe, but she’d be hard pressed to find anyone else that would agree. Some days it was like, being around a completely different person, and while he adored the fiery, stubborn ball buster that she’d been, he wasn’t entirely disappointed to see her mellow out some, in fact, a part of him was hoping that maybe she’d hold onto a least a bit of this more subdued version, not all of it, just like the parts that weren’t so inclined to slap him upside the head of give him a dead arm, yeah.. that would work out perfectly. Pulling back from the kiss he grinned again, “I’d be quite happy to substitute that for talking any day..” he teased, kissing her again briefly.
------ Her discomfort with sex was just… way too entertaining too not exploit as much as possible, or at least, that’s how he liked to justify it to himself. Sometimes he’d get a small flicker of conscience, just a flicker, but it never lasted long, certainly not long enough to hold his tongue at the next opportunity to tease her about it. If she was lucky there’d be someone like tizz around to deflect some it, or just toss him a warning look, checking him before he took things too far. But she didn’t have that when they were alone together, though just like him she’d found that kissing was a effective distraction, and provided the perfect means to shut him up whenever he was being particularly licentious. Which was quite often, and thus, resulted in a lot of kissing, something he certainly never objected to, if anything, it only encouraged him to bring up the subject more often. Surprise touched his expression momentarily at her words, before his sensibilities kicked in, reminding him that this was his always sarcastic best friend, there was no way she was actually serious, as much as he kind of wished that she was. He knew better than to rush things, or press the issue, she had to be ready, otherwise she’d end up hating him for it, and to be honest, he would hate himself for it too. He cared about her too much to ruin things between him simply because he was impatient. He of course, was already there, it was just a matter of waiting for her to catch up, and who knew how long that would take. This was delilah, delilah who had never had a boyfriend, never had a serious relationship, delilah who got giggly and blushy at just the mention of sex. Smoothing out his expression again he smiled, shaking his head a little and pulling her close, she should really know better than to go taunting him like this, “well I’d say..” he began, smirking a little and lowering his mouth to her shoulder, kissing it briefly before letting his lips brush gently up the curve of her neck,“don’t start things your aren’t ready to finish love..” he teased, pulling back now and flashing a wide smile.
------ He couldn’t help but laugh at her, sure her dad was a pretty scary dude, sure delilah knew him a lot better than he did, and sure he probably should really be taking her advice more seriously. But she was forgetting he’d also known the guy since he was what… ten? he liked to think they had a pretty decent relationship, and that he had earned a certain amount of trust from the man. In any case, he’d never objected to the amount of time that they spent together, alone and otherwise, whether it be at school, at delilahs house or vice versa. There wasn’t any other guy friend he could think of that would be allowed the kind of liberties that jay had when it came to his daughter, except possibly dominic, but he was harmless, so he didn’t really count.. “dels, I’ve seen his gun collection before, its nothing new..” he reminded her, though of course, in that instance he’d taken him in there to show them off, no to put the fear of god into him, not that he really needed to be toting a firearm to do so, the guy was intimidating enough all by himself. “don’t worry so much … you’ll get wrinkles..” he teased, reaching up to smooth the frown that had found its way onto her face, it didn’t matter whether he wanted to or not, or whether she didn’t want him to, the fact of the matter was, it had to be done, putting it off would only make things worse for both of them. Her dad struck him as the kind of guy who didn’t like to be lied to, and who’d much prefer to know, even if ideally he rather that she not take an interest in boys until she’d reached her mid forties.
------ He pouted a little, “its not exactly on my list of priorities, okay? ” he huffed, adding unthinkingly, “that’s what wives are for..” immediately his gaze flickered to her face, hoping she wasn’t feeling low key feminist enough to punch him for that, if it had been tizz he’d be nursing a dead arm by now. To her question he frowned, “severely undernourished…” he decided, nodding succinctly, “takes a lot of food to keep up this level of sexy you know..” he added, grinning at her, and patting his stomach. “thanks dels, I love you too..” he responded, hard put to look appropriately offended, next to her or dominic it wasn’t hard to look like a complete dumbass. “hey...” he objected halfheartedly, watching her eat the strawberry she’d taken from him and shaking his head, waiting until she went to grab another to wrap an arm around her waist and pull her into his lap, an awkward maneuver he was only able to pull off because she was such a lightweight, though the extra weight training he had been doing didn’t hurt, grabbing her hand he lifted it to his lips and took a bite from her strawberry, “mmmmmmmm” he murmured exaggeratedly before kissing her cheek.

" it didn't matter much either way because they both knew that if she did get mad it wasn't going to last for very long. it had never taken much for them to get irritated with one another, but she'd always found it hard to get genuinely mad at him and stay mad. the whole catastrophe after he'd crashed at her place that night had been the start of the longest they'd not really talked and it was uncomfortable for her. you didn't just go from talking to one person every day for years and then trying to avoid them without a little difficulty. he wasn't the only person to notice that it now seemed to be even harder for him to really fluster her, or for anyone to fluster her and there was a part of her that really hated this softening no matter how small it was. she knew her brother had been enjoying this new level of patience and levi more since he was always the worst one to tease her about everything and by default got the most abuse out of any of her friends, if anyone had a right to complain about mistreatment it was him. jayden probably came just under levi in terms of abuse and that had taken a noticeable drop in her eyes, even when she hit him now it was nowhere knew what it used to be, she was pretty sure it didn't even hurt anymore and that kind of bummed her out though she knew he was probably really, really thankful. she chuckled at his words, meeting his kiss with a smile before she spoke, "i'm hardly surprised..." she said, threading her fingers through the hair at the nape of his neck, "but you wouldn't exactly find me complaining about it either...." though given the considerable amount of time they already spent kissing and normally in her quite deserted house it probably wasn't a good idea that they increase that anymore, especially with her hesitation to take things any further then that. which didn't seem to get better as people kept exploiting her discomfort for the topic, she'd caught a lot of lectures on the subject from her dad, sam and gabriel but until now she'd never really had to worry about it. she'd probably take the lectures over the way jayden liked to carry on with his jokes, which hadn't seemed to lessen in the slightest but she was pretty sure they never would. she'd gotten much more comfortable around the topic in general, really, jayden was the only exception to this because he had an unique way of stretching the inappropriateness of a topic to the limits and he never liked to stop once you got him going - unless of course she hit him upside the head or just kissed him, of course she chose the latter.
" every so often she'd try to get him back, this time being one of them and she almost smirked as the surprise crossed over his features for a split-second until he'd remembered who he was talking to and written her off as joking and she had been, partly. she returned his smile as her brought her closer, it widening as his lips brushed her shoulder, tilting her head slightly as her moved his lips up and she almost chuckled a little at his answer, before she furrowed her brow a little despite the open smile on his face, "it's not like i don't want to or anything, because i do," she began, before she shook her head, "i'm sorry," gabe had made a point the other day, he was only her first boyfriend, of course he'd meant it in the "you have plenty of time" kind of way. to her it just drove home that he was a lot of firsts for her, it was understandable that she was nervous, even when she really did want to be with him. every time she thought that she was ready, she'd second guess and get all weird again, it was so frustrating. he wasn't one of those guys who was going to have sex with her and then dump her a couple days later, she didn't think he'd be spreading it around the whole school or anything like, she trusted him. she just didn't want it to happen between them just because they could, she knew it wasn't something all that special, literally the only difference between a virgin and a non-virgin was a piece of skin, but she wanted it to be a little special, for it to happen for something more then the fact they could do it now. she wasn't even sure how she'd know when that time came, maybe it was just an excuse she could use to get out of admitting that she was just plain scared. because it did feel kind of scary, it was more then just the actual act, but what happened after, what if it was bad, she'd seen plenty of her friends relationships dissolve because they'd gone straight to the sex and it had only become about that. "i just... i don't know... i just don't want anything to get messed up."
" she frowned a little as he laughed, she'd agree that maybe she was worrying a little too much and it did seem kind of silly, her dad had known jayden for years now, he liked him and trusted him. the fact she'd been allowed to stay overnight at his house on more the one occasion was testament enough to that. he trusted jayden not to ry anything, had enough faith that he wasn't stupid enough to try anything in the first place, and knew that delilah could handle herself if had lost his mind and tried something. there was the impromptu misadventures that kept them away from the house for hours and still her dad never said anything about it further then enquiring what trouble they'd gotten into and his only warnings before them leaving were to not get arrested or killed. which were harder guidelines to follow then they seemed sometimes. "it'd be hard to find a person he likes who hasn't seen his gun collection, they're like trading cards to him," she returned, slightly, exasperated, "that's not the point here, though. he likes you a lot, he really does. now. because he doesn't know that we're together. there is a 99.9 percent chance that changes once you've told him. then you're not so cool to him anymore, then every time we go out he doesn't imagine us joking around and getting into trouble anymore, he sees your dirty little hands all over me." as much as she knew that he had to be told - especially with sam already knowing - and she wasn't enjoying sneaking around behind her dads back she wasn't looking forward to the lectures and the third degree every time she said she was going to go hang out with jay. "i can't help it..." she grumbled though trying to put on a smile, which wasn't so hard as she looked up at him.
" she couldn't help the laughter that escaped her face as his eyes darter to her face at his mildly sexist statement, one that tizz would've flipped a shit about but only made her shake her head. it was harmless and easy to ignore but his face, good lord, that was hilarious and she shook her head, "i;m sorry, but you look so scared right now..." it was adorable really. she gave a short chuckle at his next words, yeah, she couldn't deny that but she snorted at his statement that followed and she quirked her brow, "looks like you need a lot less of it," she teased, running her hand over his stomach, his abs obvious even through the fabric, "you're getting a little flabby..." she teased before she laughed and gave him a quick kiss, "i'm kidding. obviously." she rolled her eyes, "haven't you learned by now never to take me seriously, espcially when setting me up with an open like that? you were begging for it." she debated as she took the final bite of the strawberry she'd swiped from him, before reaching for another one and feeling his arms around her waist pull her back, she gave a short giggle and lame cry of protest before she settled into his lap, feigning a pout as he took a bite from her strawberry, scrunching her nose at him as he drew out his appreciation for the fruit, "totally uncalled for," she began after he kissed her cheek, smiling brightly, "how dare you steal my strawberry."
