Warnings: Angst
She didn't know how to respond to Jason. How do you tell the guy you cancelled a date on that you just had sex, amazing sex, with one of your best friends? Besides she didn't even know if this was just a one time thing with Chris. He did just break up with is girlfriend. Maybe she was just a rebound? But, that would be awkward, wouldn't it? Him sleeping with her once to get over his break up then going back to the way things were before. Could they go back? What were they now?
"Stop! You're overthinking." she whispered to herself.
Her thumbs hovered over the screen, trying to figure out what to say. She quickly typed Let me get back to you in a few. And hit send.
Chris walked out of the bathroom and slid into bed with her. Reaching out, he pulled her to him so they were facing each other. He wanted to be close to her. She was so warm and comforting. He kissed her again,
"You know, I could get used to this." he said.
"Yeah, me too."
She laid her head on his chest, and he pulled the blanket up around them. She pushed all the uncertain thoughts from her head. This moment, this was one she was going to savor. She sighed and snuggled a little closer and he held her tighter. They soon fell asleep.
An hour or so later she was woken up by her phone ringing. She rolled over to her side and reached for it, squinting at the screen to see who was calling her this late.
It was Jason.
Without thinking, she answered.
"Hello?"
"Oh, hey. Sorry did I wake you up?"
"Kinda. It's okay though."
"Cool, how's your friend? Everything work out?"
She looked over at Chris. He was sleeping so peacefully. Hand on his stomach, chest rising up and down with each breath, and a small smile on his lips.
"He's doing a lot better thanks."
"That's good. Look I just called to ask you about tomorrow. We can just meet for coffee or something?"
She sat up and got out of bed, walking into the next room.
"Umm yeah. That works for me." Then maybe I can explain about what happened between me and Chris, she thought.
"Great! Is noon good for you? We can meet at the bookstore. We can get a bite to eat too."
"Yeah that sounds good."
"Awesome! I'll see you then."
She hung up and walked back into her room and climbed back into bed. As she was reaching to put her phone back, she heard Chris's voice.
"Who was that? Jason?"
She turned to look at him "Yeah."
"What did he want?"
"Just to see if I could meet with him tomorrow."
"What did you say?" He tried to sound nonchalant but the look on his face gave him away. It was that same look he'd had in the kitchen when he almost kissed her, right after Jason had text her. Only this time she was sure it was jealousy.
"I told him yes." she then added quickly "But it's just for coffee."
"Yeah okay cool." he said bitterly.
"Seriously?"
"What? You can have coffee with whoever you want."
"Why are you acting like this?"
