A Girl Like Her (STUDXSTUD)

Chapter 22.

Ariel

I put a mitt on my hand and grabbed the cookies out of the oven while Jaie stood beside, watching me. As soon as I sat the pan down on the top of the stove, she immediately tried to grab one of the cookies and screamed while running over to the sink, turning on cold water and placing her fingers under it. I placed one of my hands on my hip and straight faced her.

"Are you fucking dumb? You literally just watched me set the pan down and you're gonna go and attempt to grab one?" I shook my head while trying not to laugh, failing as a few snickering sounds came out.

Jaie rolled her eyes and looked at me before coming over and gripping my waist, tickling my sides causing me to begin scream-laughing.

"You callin' daddy dumb?"

I dropped the mitt and continued laughing while trying to fight her hands off of me. I'm extremely ticklish so I felt like I was dying.

"Nooo! Jaie!" I whined and turned around, punching her chest.

"Ow damn. You tryna break me. Ian gon' be able to fuck nobody and put in that work. Ima have a bunch of broken ass bones."

"So. As long as you're fucking me, I won't break any more."

"Well. Who said I was gon stay with just one vagina? I like em all."

"You aren't getting anymore girls. You're stuck with me."

"We don't know that."

Well damn.. Today was great and now there's suddenly so much tension.

"Well.."

"I mean we don't know what the future holds so."

"You're not very positive with this future stuff." I whispered. She chuckled and shook her head while looking over at me. I could tell she was getting annoyed and I really wanted to end the conversation, but I wanted to know why it was that she didn't seem like she was fighting for me in her future.

"What is it that you're looking forward to with me man?" The annoyance in her voice hurt a bit.. The reason I could never have a conversation with her about things was because she was always getting mad quickly. And maybe because she didn't wanna be honest with me and try and tell me how she really felt.. Maybe she didn't want me to walk away from her, but she also didn't want me to stay.

"I-.." I got quiet, searching so desperately for something to say.

"You're not positive about the future anymore. You used to tell me that you'd do everything to keep me in your future. You said you needed me and now it's 'eh we don't know what the future holds so.' Like, what? And what do you mean what am I looking forward to?" My heart was beating so fast.. God help me. I don't want this to end bad and I don't want her to get careless. I also don't want myself to get overly emotional and make her walk away from me.

With Jaie it's like.. You never know what to expect. She could be a ticking bomb or she could be like an angel sent from heaven. She could wrap me in her arms and tell me she loved me and it was going to be okay and we were in this together, or she could literally yell in my face and call me a big ass baby and tell me that I'm temporary and not going to last.

"I mean yeah I need ya, but we don't know what god has in store." She was about to say more but I spoke over her. Maybe I can try and see where she's coming..

"I guess it's easy for you to say that you're just going with the flow. You have two girls, that's a lot to think about. You know.. who you're going to actually spend your life with. Who your feelings go to more.. All of that. I only have one girl, so I guess you could say my future is in you but it's not mutual.. but yeah I see."
