That’s what Juliet kept telling herself as she got ready to go over to her best friend Aaron’s apartment. Ever since the cruise ship where she had woken up with the two of them in bed together, cuddled up naked, she had been avoiding him. In fact it had been a solid week that Jules had been making up excuses to not hang out and letting most of his calls go to voicemail. She knew that she couldn’t avoid him forever, but she had just needed to get a clear head on her shoulders before she faced him. Unfortunately when he had imed her, she was trapped and could not just avoid him this time. He knew something was up because they usually hung out every day or at least talked if they could not meet up somewhere. He thought she was mad at him which had been far from the truth. She knew that it hadn’t been his fault, if fact it was neither of their faults. They just both got wasted and slept together. Except it was not that simple. This broke that friendship barrier that the both of them had put up so that their best friendship was not ever ruined by breaking up. Even though Jules had wanted to keep it a secret so that she could just pretend it never happened and Aaron would never find out, however Aaron knew how to crack her and Jules broke finally after Jules even made up a fake boyfriend. Now he knew about what happened and thing just got awkward. It did not matter how much she tried to not make it awkward. It was impossible for it not to be.
Regardless of the awkwardness, Jules knew that she could not stay away from her best friend forever. This whole past week had been killing her because she had not been able to talk to him since she was afraid that she was going to just blurt out what had happened. Even though they could easily make light of situations due to the funny/easy going personalities of the two of them, she was nervous for tonight. Never once has she been nervous to hang out with Aaron. Ever. Jules did not like this change. However, she got dressed anyway knowing that even though it was going to be awkward, she still wanted to hang out with her best friend. She did not make much of an effort to get dolled up because she knew that Aaron did not care if she had make up on or not and it saved her a lot of time by not doing so. She texted him to make sure they were still on for the night since he had said her had ‘plans’ earlier when he had been upset at her. She wondered if he was still upset at her for keeping the boyfriend secret from him even though that was just another lie. This whole situation was just a mess and she wished she could just undo everything. She just had to man up and deal with it anyway. She drove the familiar route to Aaron’s place and parked taking a deep breath to calm her unusual nerves. She grabbed her bag and knocked a few times before just walking into his apartment. She never actually waited for him to answer the door and Aaron never expected her to wait. “Romeo! You ready for your ass to get whooped tonight at Call of Duty?” she called out waiting for him to come out. 602 words, outfit, notes: gotta love awkward moments lol |

take one last breath [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=style, width: 350px; background-color:#af9ea8; padding:0px;] it was hard for aaron to comprehend what had happened, he wasn't sure it even did, she did mention that he'd been naked.but he could hardly believe that the two of them might have actually slept together. yes, he'd thought about that on more than one occasion, but he hadn't actually expected it to happen. so was he supposed to believe it now? it was just... unbelievable. the circumstances just didn't seem right at all. when he'd confronted her about why she'd been avoiding him, he'd hardly given the idea that the two of them had done something like this a thought. how could he have? he'd thought he was merely dreaming, and now she was telling him that itwas infact true, they'd slept together. was it going to be awkward with them hanging out now? would she be looking at him differently now that the two of them had actually hooked up? he was leaning casually against the couch, his phone buzzing loudly in the palm of his hand, with the pretty blondes number flashing up on the screen. he tossed the phone on the couch where it slid between the cushions, and he made his way through to the kitchen to get himself a drink while he waited for her to show up.
they were supposed to be having a game night, and he assumed ordering in was probably going to be the best thing for them at the moment. he wasn't exactly in the mood for cooking, and pizza would probably be easier for them both. he was sure though, that things were going to get incredibly awkward. if she was aware of what had happened, and knew what he looked like under his clothes, wouldnt she be looking at him differently? he tucked his hands into his pockets after he'd ordered the food, and glanced at himself briefly in the mirror fixing the mop of hair on his hair so it sat neatly. he heard the door go and her voice calling out to him, and a sheepish smile crossed his lips. well, no, i'm pretty sure you were supposed to be getting ready to have your own ass whooped he mocked, as he headed through to the hall, smiling a little at the sight of her. i ordered pizza, by the way - thinking we can cook up some popcorn and have some fun with that as well. but im still gonna kick your ass, because call of duty... well, that's my game, and no one beats me at my own game.

It’s not that she hasn’t seen him in boxers before, but completely naked was totally different. Best friends just shouldn’t see each other naked. Though she did not doubt that they had seen each other naked when they were little, but that was not the same. That was when she started to question why exactly it was a big deal. If everything was platonic between them, then why was it awkward that she saw him naked? She should be able to just shrug it off as a stupid thing that they did and just move on, but she was just stop on the whole thing. Even thinking about it was making her blush. She wondered what would have happened had it been switched around and he had woke up first, not her. Would he have told her right away what happened or would he have just played it that nothing happened like she tried to do? If that were the case, she wouldn’t know because he was much better at keeping things from her than she was. Then again, he was a lot more honest to her and didn’t see the point in them ever really keeping things from each other. Maybe it was just a guy thing, since guys never really found a reason to talk behind other guys backs. They just told it like it was and maybe threw some punches, but then they would get over it. That was the only hard thing about their friendship, was their gender difference that came along with a misunderstanding about why their gender would do things a certain way. They usually got past that part fairly easily.
Jules’s eyes sparkled with laughter as he called back to her and her laughter filled the room. “ I didn’t need to prepare for that, because I know it won’t happen” she challenged him with a raise of a brow. She would be lying if she said that when she saw him, it was just like every other time. As much as she tried not to let the image of him lying in the bed next to her naked pop up in her mind, she could not repress it. She instantly felt heat rise to her cheeks as her eyes wandered over him and she turned quickly and headed over to the couch, hopefully before he realized that she was blushing. He would know exactly why she was blushing had he seen that. At the sound of pizza, her stomach growled. “ That actually sounds amazing. I feel like I haven’t eaten all day” That was another thing about their relationship, she never felt like she had to watch what she ate in front of him like some girls did in front of guys. She just ate whatever or how much she wanted, knowing he expected it. He would be used to the fact that she ate a lot despite her small size. “Have fun cooking popcorn? How so? You put it in the microwave and let it pop. “ she just laughed “ Unless we are going to have a food fight, which I’m totally down for as long as I don’t have to clean up your apartment” she grinned knowing the last time they made a mess she had felt bad and had stayed to help him clean up for the whole rest of the day. Yet they never failed to get in messes the very next time they hung out.
Juliet plopped down on the couch in front of the tv where the xbox was hooked up. He seemed all prepared for their game night. “You know by back is feeling a little sore today. That back massage will be feeling quite lovely.” She teased; she was really talking up her game more than she should be doing. “Oh! How could I forget?” she ran to grab her purse and came back with the first season of Grey’s Anatomy. “I have my prize all set and ready to go.” She just smirked and did a little run and jump onto the couch. She landed on the crack and felt something hard underneath her. She groaned in slight pain before reaching in and grabbing Aaron’s phone that he so carelessly left. She grinned mischievously and got up and ran away from Aaron as she started to read the last few messages out loud “Oh baby I can’t wait to stay at your place and cuddle up to you all night long” she then went on to another one “ Aaron I can’t believe I found you, or you found me hehe, my life would not be the same without you” sure she may have added a few of her twists here and there but she was full on mocking him now. She just laughed at these as she read them off in a higher pitched girl as if that’s what the blond sounded like. She tried to dodge him as she kept reading off more and more texts trying to egg him on. This was a good distraction from the awkwardness of the cruise ship. 885 words, outfit, notes: and she continues to be a brat xD |

take one last breath [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=style, width: 350px; background-color:#af9ea8; padding:0px;] things seemed a little to natural between them, he felt like there was some forced comfort between juliet and he when she'd arrived, although he wouldn't mention it. he couldn't get his mind off of the idea of what could have happened that weekend. a part of him certainly wished he could have remembered it, and actually have done it knowing he was doing it because he was actually into her. he was.. he supposed, despite never wanting to admit to to her, she was his best friend after all - and telling your best friend you were possibly into them wasn't exactly the easiest thing in the world. they'd never talked about the what ifs of the situation, what if there were actually feelings there, what if the two of them were meant for more than just a simple friendship? these questions seemed to linger in his mind all afternoon, anyone else he'd been thinking about had certainly been cast aside. like that pretty blonde on the ship, sure, he'd been talking to her, but at the mention of sleeping with juliet, he'd completely lost whatever interest was there, he'd just wanted to know what exactly had happened - but she was here now, in his home, he had to let it go.
you're a pig anyway, you'd eat the pizza even if you'd had something half an hour ago he teased her, as he fetched the bag of popcorn from the microwave, emptying it into a bowl before he caught what she'd said, a sly smile spread over his lips, and he shook his head as he stared down into the bowl. i mean, we can have fun while eating the popcorn he wandered into the room, and tossed a couple of popped kernels in her direction but if you're after a food fight, i'll oblige, i just don't want to clean up after it he told her as he set the bowl down onto the table, wandering back to the kitchen so he could grab a couple of bottles of soda for them. it was supposed to be a relaxed atmosphere between them, they were supposed to just chill out and enjoy things like they used to be. all the while though, he was wanting to just lean in and press a kiss to her lips. what if he did? would that make things weird again?
you still think you're going to win he clucked his tongue as he set the bottles down on the table and watched down at her with a cocky smile. you really do stand no chance, jules. no chance in hell, romeo is going to kick your butt, and you're going to be crying when you realize it. especially because you'll be cleaning my apartment, and doing my laundry - which hasn't been done for two weeks, so have fun with that he grinned, before she found his phone, and started reading those messages. his face dropped and he stared at her for a moment, before he launched himself at her, reaching for the phone, laughing a little. he chased her a moment, before he finally snatched a hold of her waist, and grabbed his phone out of her grasp. uh-uh, no, this is mine. all mine, private. besides, you half of that stuff wasn't even sent. you're just jealous he grinned, watching down at her for a moment. but his face fell, and he stepped back a moment, clearing his throat and shrugged ready to play? he motioned back to the xbox, clearing his throat.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-image:url(http://scrapbookingpaperpatterns.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/splotches_teal.jpg); width: 457px; padding-top: 30; padding-bottom: 30; -moz-border-radius: 35 35 35 35; -webkit-border-radius: 35 35 35 35;]hi Jules knew with no doubt that he most likely could tell that she was a little awkward about this whole situation still. He knew her too well and could read her very well. It did not help that she was basically an open book when it came to her emotions no matter how hard she tried to hide them. Why was this awkward? Well just because they were best friends is what she told herself. If she looked at the facts, she would see how they already were very physical for friends, even best friends. They would cuddle, especially at night when they shared the same bed. For some reason she had never really thought that to be lust-filled. They were just simply enjoying the others company. They were both physical people so they felt comforted by cuddling and holding each other. It didn’t always have to be in a dirty way. Her friends had disagreed with her on this saying that they were basically already a couple. When Jules thought about that, it did make sense, but she didn’t want to admit it to herself or to Aaron. Yes, there were feelings there for him, but she just couldn’t express them even after sleeping together. She just wasn’t at the point where she was willing to risk their friendship for this chance that they might make it as a couple.
That’s why she was trying to repress these feelings, which was harder than ever before. She just bit her lip and laughed at what Aaron said back to her. He did have a point so she just shrugged and nodded since she could not argue against him. “Hey there’s nothing wrong with eating a little pizza” she just joked “Besides I’m more good looking than you are, so I can eat whatever I want and not feel bad” she just laughed and stuck her tongue out at him quickly. She didn’t actually think that was true at all. She felt that he was very attractive, especially with his shirt off. She squealed as he threw a few kernels at her. “ Oh Romeo it is on” she just grabbed a few kernels and toss it at him playfully. She threw her hands up in truce before he could grab a handful. Neither of them wanted to clean up the apartment from the mess of popcorn that could be made. “Think I will win? I know I will win” she was always pretty cocky around him when it came to their pranks and competitions. She reached for the drink and took a sip.
Jules, no matter how much she put off that she was going to win, knew that the likelihood that she was going to win was fairly low. He had always been better at video games since she didn’t play often at all and she barely remembered the controls on how to do the different moves and how to shoot. So when she heard his prize, her mouth dropped open slightly. Jules was never a huge clean freak and hardly did her own laundry so doing Aaron’s stinky laundry and cleaning his apartment would be a stretch for her “ Now when you say clean the apartment, how clean are you talking? Are you talking me getting down on my knees and scrubbing your floors because I feel like that’s way worse than my prize. A little unfair if you ask me. “ When she had started to run away from him, she knew that she wouldn’t last long before he caught her. The feeling that she got when he grasped her waist was a spark of electricity. She just giggled as he wrestled for his phone and got real defensive. “ Jeez Romeo, you are getting quite defensive. You don’t have any naughty pictures on there that you don’t want me to see, do you?” she questioned, putting him on the spot seeing if she could make him blush.
She grabbed a controller when he pulled away. She was a left a little confused as he had been looking down at her, almost like the two were having a moment before he was bringing her back to playing the game. She let him set up the game and tried to remember exactly how to move and shoot. Things that would come naturally for him. She bit her lip knowing that all of her talking herself up was going to bite her in the ass now. That started to show immediately as he killed her time after time. She grew panicked as it became clear how this game was going. So she had to think of another plan. She snuck up and tackled him, grabbing his controller and running back to the couch. She sat on his controller as she started to kill him easily. She just laughed, taking advantage of the now easy target. “I’m going to beat you” 822 words, outfit, notes: haha she's such a cheater |
