Jex |Complete|

[9] What are we

I wake wrapped in Jex's tattooed arms once again and shift my body slightly, he pulls me back to him protectively and I giggle ever so quietly as I look up at him. There's no denying he is incredibly handsome, extremely sweet, and well, amazing in bed.

But I'm so confused.

When I first went home with Jex I was sure it was going to be a one night stand, but our one-night stand has now turned into a week of seeing each other, and I've no idea what all of this means.

I'm extremely attracted to Jex, that much I can't deny, but I don't know how Papa would feel about me dating a man who isn't a Cobra (or how he'd feel about me dating anyone at all for that matter), he can be so overprotective sometimes.

As for Jex, would it be fair of me to bring someone into my world? This is why Cobra girls usually date Cobra boys, because it's easier that way, it makes sense that way.

Then again, maybe I'm way off. Maybe Jex doesn't want a relationship, maybe this is just a friends with benefits thing for him.

"How is it possible to think so hard this early in the morning?" Jex grins from beside me.

"You've been awake this entire time?"

"How couldn't I be? Your thinking woke me up."

"That's not even possible," I giggle softly and shake my head.

"What's on your mind?"

"I'd ask, but I don't want to freak you out."

"Mmm?" He hums softly.

I sigh and roll over onto my back, looking up at the ceiling. "This was meant to be a one night stand and it's turned into a week of us seeing each other. I really don't want to be the girl who asks what we are," I pause.

"But?" He raises a brow.

I turn, looking at him and bite down on my bottom lip. "But, what is happening between us? Is this just some fun between friends or is it something more?"

"Well, for starters I don't sleep with my friends," he smirks softly. "And I wouldn't have you in my bed if I didn't have some kind of feelings toward you."

"So?" I question, drawing out the o.

"So, I like you and I'm pretty sure you like me. I feel something for you, but this is also extremely new. I don't want to put a label on anything, why don't we just see where things take us?"

"Agreed," I nod. "Let's just see what happens."

"Feel better now?" He grins.

"I do actually, yes."

"Well in that case, would you like some breakfast? Because I'm starving," he sits up looking down at me.

"I would love breakfast," I smile up at him.

...

After spending my morning with Jex, I headed for home. By the time I arrived home, it was around lunchtime.

I've never been with someone the way I am with Jex, in fact, I'm still not sure how it all works. Do we see other people? Do we not see other people? Are we seeing each other without titles? Really I have no idea, but I think Jex is right; this is new to us and we should see what happens. At the end of the day, if Jex finds the love of his life tomorrow, with someone who isn't me, we were never meant to be. As long as I keep my heart protected and don't fall too hard, I should be fine.

"Afternoon Sis," Abel smirks from my open bedroom door, now apparently home.

"Afternoon weirdo, what do you want?" I question with a glare.
