Snake-Bite Hearts and Bubblegum Smiles
Jane
We pulled into a gas station, and it was my turn to drive. We’ve been driving for a few hours now, and we were finally getting close.
“Hey Jane, I’m going to take a piss break, and so are the guys. You can chill around here for 5 minutes, stretch yo’ long, fine, smokin’ hot legs.” Brooke grinned, pushing her sunglasses to the top of her head.
I rolled my eyes, and slowly made my way out of the car. I guess I was the only girl who didn’t have to pee, because Kara, Brooke, and Lisa were gone in an instant. I noticed Alex and Jack standing by the gas pump, and waved my arms around, jumping.
“Oh look, it’s a miniature jumping bean!” Alex said, and Jack chuckled.
Oh... it’s fucking on.
I ran full force at Alex, about to tackle him down. “HOLY FUCKING SHIT, JACK, I CHOOSE YOU!” he made a “pokeball” throw, and pushed Jack in the way. Awkward situation, you see…I was now just kind of chilling on Jack…on the floor. He landed with a loud thud, and I thought I killed him.
You know, if the situation was different, this might have been cozy…STOP THAT JANE. FOCUS.
Alex was leaning against the gas pump grinning. “Jesus Christ guys, I told you to save it for the bedroom!”
Jack and I made eye contact for a split second, and I felt my mouth go dry. What the hell was wrong with me? I’ve only known this guy for a couple of weeks.
Jack was handling this situation much better than I was, he didn’t even seem bothered by it. “I KNEW SHE WANTED ME, BRO. It was bound to happen, I’m irresistible.”
He winked up at me in a joking manner, as I finally composed myself and shot right up off of him. “You fucking wish, Barakat. YOU COULDN’T HANDLE THIS IF YOU TRIED.” I grinned, pointing at my self up and down.
Alex chimed in. “Do I hear a request for the both of us? THREESOME? MY DREAM!”
Jack pulled me securely, and a bit too tightly, to himself. “I TOLD YOU, SHE WAS MY PIECE OF MEAT FIRST.
I rolled my eyes, and made a gagging motion as the girls and the rest of the guys came back out. Alex went to go cuddle up by Lisa, pouting.
“Jane is being a meanie pants, go yell at her!”
“YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO HAVE A THREESOME WITH ME AND JACK.”
“A GUY ISN’T ALLOWED TO DREAM?”
Zack intervened mine and Alex’s argument, by slugging an arm around Brooke’s shoulder. “I guess we’re the only ones available, I mean I could go find a hotel if you want…” Brooke grinned, cuddling up to Zack.
“You know, that could be kind of fun, we could—“
I don’t know if anyone noticed it, because Rian screamed for everyone to shut the fuck up, because we needed to go back on the road. But…the strangest thing happened. I noticed Alex’s eyes flash a little, and in a second he was over by Brooke’s side. I don’t think he realized what he was doing, and I don’t think Lisa realized either. I, however, noticed how his hand twitched, almost as if he wanted to reach out and grab her away from Zack.
Maybe I was over thinking things, though. I mean, Alex had Lisa, right? I looked over to Lisa, who had her attention fixed on her cell phone. I was shaken out of that weird moment by Kara coughing and winking over at me. I realized I was still clutched to Jack for dear life. We pulled away from each other, almost too quickly, but no one else seemed to notice.
“Thanks for suffocating me, Barakat.”
“Fuck you, I’m a great cuddler.”
I laughed, and made my way back into the car. I took a brief look at Alex, who has been back to his old self. He really didn’t realize what he did. …huh. That’s funny.
Brooke seemed oblivious as well, as she sat beside me in the passenger seat. I turned the car on, and got comfortable. In a couple of hours, all of the girls were asleep. I tried to focus on the music, but all I could think of was Alex’s weird behavior, and…well, Jack.
Fuck everything; undateable, plain Jane has a crush. I pushed the bangs out of my eyes, and sung softly along to the music, hopefully to escape my thoughts. Thankfully, the thoughts of Jack left, but thoughts of my dad came in its place. Thoughts of that same nightmare, the nightmare that I had lived once.
Jesus Christ, Jersey, could you be any farther away?
