Every time the door of the diner I worked in would open, I would turn my attention to it just to see if it was JP walking in. It had been a week since the party. I am not sure why I would expect him to find me, but part of me was hoping he would.
"Are you expecting someone?" Becca bumped her arm into me.
"What? Why would you ask that?"
"Oh come on, I have noticed how every time it opens you quickly look over."
"I don't know what ... " just as I was trying to finish my sentence the door dings. I look over to see him standing there. He smiles as his eyes find mine.
"Oh my god... Olivia. That's who? You have been waiting to see JP?"
"Wait, what? You know him?"
"Girl yes, that is my guy's roommate and best friend. You better be careful, I heard he doesn't do relationships. From what they say he sleeps around with different girls."
"Becca, I know. He told me himself last week. I'm not looking for anything out of it. He and I can be just friends"
"Just friends? Right. Don't catch feelings Liv. Here he comes." She smiles and turns around to go to a different table.
"Hey"
"Hey"
"So, I found you."
"You want to tell me how you found me?"
"Well, I knew your name was Olivia aka Liv. Since you spend a little time with David last night, I asked him if he knew anything about you. He told me you were 18 and in high school. So then as I was talking to my friend Nick about you, he mentioned that his girlfriend's best friend's name was Olivia and she went by Liv. Then he showed me a picture of his girlfriend and her best friend. Which turned out to be you! So here I am."
"Damn it. Here I was thinking I would never have to see you again. I was so happy. Then you walked in and crushed it all" I frowned.
"Well too bad, we had a deal. You can't break it now. What time do you get off?"
Looking up at the clock I see that it's 2:30. " I have an hour left. Why?"
"Ok good. I will be outside waiting for you."
"Excuse me? I have plans already."
"I know you do. You have plans with me. See you outside in an hour gorgeous." He winks at me and turns off before I have a chance to say anything back.
I walk over to Becca. "Your boyfriend is the one that gave away where I work."
Becca laughs. She actually laughs. "Who would have known my boyfriend's best friend would want to be friends with my best friend?"
It is kind of funny so I laugh along with her.
"Why is he sitting outside?"
"He informed me that I have plans with him when I get off. He said he would be waiting for me."
"Ugh... Liv, please don't start hanging out with him and catch feelings. And please for the love of God DO NOT sleep with him."
"Becca, you have nothing to worry about. I will not be catching feelings for this guy and I will not be sleeping with him either."
"Ok good. Just be careful, those college guys have a way of getting in your pants. Trust me, I would know."
"You are stupid. I'm going to clean my tables." I laugh walking away from her.
When 3:30 came around, Becca and I went to the back to change clothes and grab our things.
"Good thing you brought some cute clothes to work today instead of your regular baggy mess."
Turning around after I put my clothes on I look into the mirror at myself. I had brought a pair of leggings and a shirt where the sleeves hand off of my shoulders. Along with the white flats that I love. "I said I wouldn't catch feelings. That doesn't mean I can't make him fall for me. I see this as a challenge. Don't you dare go telling your man either"
"My lips are zipped. That's not my business. As far as I'm concerned I didn't hear anything you just said. Now let's not make him wait any longer. I'm shocked he has actually sat there this entire time"
We walk out the door together. "Bye," we say at the same time as she turns right to go to her car and I walk to the left to where JP is leaning against his truck. I watch him as he checks me out. I have to admit he isn't bad on the eyes at all.
"Ok, I'm off. What are these plans that we have?"
"Whatever you want to do. I just want to get to know you."
"Why do you want to get to know me?"
"We are supposed to be friends. I don't know anything about you. And you don't know anything about me."
"Technically, I do know something about you. I know that you are a sex-crazy man whore."
"That doesn't count. Really, I'm not a man whore. I'm not with anyone. I just like sex. Come on. Get in the truck and let's take a ride."
"I don't know .... "
He pushes himself away from his truck as he comes closer to me. "Liv, I'm just asking you to take a ride with me. I have no intentions of trying anything with you. I just want a friend. I don't have many."
"But why me?"
"You impressed me big time with how you handled David and his fiance last week at the party. You are not like any other female I know. You don't take shit. I won't lie, it is a very big turn-on. But I just want to hang out."
I look at him and take in what he just said. Should I really be hanging out with him? Or should I just get him to take me home?
"Liv, come on. We had a deal. I was able to find you. At least give me the chance to be your friend."
"Don't make me regret this." I walk towards the passenger side of his truck where he opens the door for me to climb in, literally climb in, and then he shut the door behind me. Luckily his windows were tented and very dark so no one would be able to see exactly who was in the truck with him.
As we get on the road he glances in my direction. "Any ideas on what we should do?"
"I'm with you. Where ever we end up is fine with me." As I said that I see the look he gives me and he starts grinning.
"Not in a bed. Get your head out the gutter JP."
"Damn it, I thought maybe you couldn't resist me already."
"In your dreams"
Shaking his head he laughs and clears his throat, " What about ice cream?"
"Look at me. Do I look like I'll pass up food?" I laugh
*****
JP pulls into a parking spot at this little cute ice cream shop that was about 30 minutes away.
"I have never been here" I state
"I used to come here all the time with my family. They are a family-owned business so I try to spend my money here on sweets instead of a regular business. I'll be right around to open your door." He jumps out and jogs around to my side.
He opens my door and holds his hand out to help me out of his truck. Being short and having to jump out of a truck like his is kind of funny to me. I just hope I don't bust my face doing so. I slid my butt to the end of the seat and slide on out holding onto this hand. When my feet hit the ground I almost fall forward. JP's hands are automatically on my waist pushing me back so I don't fall forward.
"You're very clumsy huh?"
"Well, you have learned something about me. Ready to go home now?" I laugh as he shuts the truck door.
"Come on. You aren't getting out of this Olivia."
The two of us head inside and take a seat as an older lady walks our way. When she reaches our table she smiles. "Johnathan Price. Is that you?"
"Yes, ma'am it's me. How have you been Linda?" He smiles at her
"I'm doing good. I haven't seen you around here since... well it's been a long time. Is this your girlfriend?"
"No ma'am. This is Olivia. We are just friends" He glances over at me and smiles.
"Nice to meet you. You are such a beautiful girl."
"Thank you. Nice to meet you as well."
"What can I get you, kids?"
JP looks over at me for me to place my order first. "I'll have a double scoop of strawberry in a waffle cone please."
I catch JP looking at me still smiling. "Stop looking at me like that and tell her what you want"
I look up at Linda to see her looking at me as well. Do I have something on my face I wonder?
"Honey, what you ordered is exactly what JP gets. He has been getting that for years."
"Oh" I look back at JP as Linda walks off.
"Do you have any siblings?" JP asks me.
"Nope. I'm the only child. What about you?"
I could see the look on his face had changed briefly but he quickly covered it up with a smile, " I have a younger sister. She's a little younger than you. "
"So even though you have a sister, you still treat other girls like they're just a sex object?"
"Why do you make it sound like I'm such a bad person? Once again just because I like sex doesn't make me a bad guy. I don't make any girl do anything they don't want to. And even though it's really not any of your business, I never make the first move with any girl. If they want it, they make the first move. Look at me, I'm not a bad-looking guy. It doesn't take much for any girl to come my way and let me know they want me."
"You are so full of yourself."
"Why are you so touchy on the topic of sex?"
I could feel my face turning red. If only he knew. I'm not ready to open up to him just yet on that subject.
Just as I go to speak Linda brings our cones to us.
"Thank you," we both say to her as she smiles at the two of us before turning around and going back to the front counter.
We sit in silence as we eat our ice cream. I couldn't look at him, only because I was worried he would bring it up again. But I'm telling you I could feel his eyes on me the entire time I was eating my ice cream. They never left me.
After JP dropped me off at home that evening, I ran upstairs to call Becca."Hey girl!" She answers her phone almost immediately."Hey. I just got home. I just wanted to let you know I was alive." I laugh"Where did y'all go?""He took me to some little ice cream shop that's about 30 minutes from here.""Awe, that's cute. Did he try anything?""Surprisingly, no. He was cool the entire time. We asked each other questions for a while, but then it got awkward when we got on the subject of sex. He wanted to know why I was so touchy on the subject of sex.""Did you tell him?"
For the next week, JP kept calling my phone, coming by my job, and showing up at my house. The second week I didn't hear anything from him. Then three weeks later, on Friday, as I am walking out of my school, I see his truck and him leaning against it. I groan but I walk up to him and stop. I cross my arms over my chest and look at him. Other girls are walking by looking at us and whispering. Seems like a bunch of these girls knows exactly who he is. Great."What do you want JP? Why are you here? I thought maybe you finally got it through your head that I do not want anything to do with you.""Look, I'm sorry. I did the one thing I told you I wouldn't do. I didn't take up for you. I ruined your night. I don't deserve to even have you as a friend but I still want to be your friend. I'm sorry I'm such an asshole."
When we arrive at the party, it is already in full swing. This party was actually at JP and Nick's place. Lord, they had a huge home."Are you ready to do this?" I ask him. We have been sitting in his truck for the past 5 minutes."Can we start this another night? Can I at least get one more night in of crazy sex before I begin to be a good guy?""You have to choices. One, you put on your big boy pants and get this going tonight. Or two, we don't do this at all. So which would you prefer?"He takes just a minute before he finally looks over at me and says, "Fine. Since multiple girls are already going to hate you for this, would you want to do something for me?""Depends on what that
Monday morning at school multiple girls stopped me to ask me how I knew JP. A few of them even had pictures of our heated kiss that took place. This was supposed to be hard on him not me too. Why is it when it comes to JP there is always drama? My cell phone vibrates in my pocket. I have a text from JP. Lucky me!JP: Are you busy after school?Liv: I leave here at 11. I have to be at work at 12.JP: What time do you get off?Liv: 4, Y?JP: I am supposed to see Samantha tonight. Can you come with me?Liv: Umm.. what do you normally do with her?JP: We go to the mall and then we end
"All I am saying is the two of you spend more time together than the two of us do anymore" Becca whined."Yeah, but that's because you are always with Nick. Sorry, but I don't want to sit around while the two of you have y'alls tongues down each other throats.""I know, you're right. Here they come now." Becca has a big smile on her face."Hey, baby!" Becca jumps in Nick's arms."Hey, Liv." Nick smiles at me before kissing Becca."Hey" JP walks over to me"Hey""Congrats. You are no longer a high school student" He laughs."I know
It's been a month since the night that JP and I both confessed our feelings to each other. We decide to give it a go but on the hush-hush. Yeah, not even Becca or Nick knows about our relationship. We already spend so much time together as it is, so no one suspects anything different."Get. Off. Of. Me." I tell JP in between kisses."Why" He frowns at me pushes his self up to sit straight on the couch in the house that he and Nick share."Becca and Nick will be walking through that door at any given minute.""So what? Haven't we hid our relationship long enough?"I sigh, it's like we have this same conversation every time I tell him someone will be around soon. I hear keys in the doo
It has been 3 days since we told Becca and Nick about us. Three days since our little sexual encounter. Sexual frustration is a real thing. I used to think otherwise but since that day, just being around JP makes me want to rip his clothes off and have him fuck me.I am currently sitting in my room going through emails. During the last few months of high school, I did loads of college applications. I have so many unopened emails from colleges. I'm not quite sure if I was accepted or denied, but I figured I might as well go ahead and begin looking through them now so I can decide where I want to go. Before I met JP I wanted to go to a school that was 5 hours away, in a whole different state. Now, though, I'm not too sure what I want to do. JP and I haven't even talked about it. I do know that I am going to school to become a surgical technician. I thought about going to be a doctor but af
"I'm sorry about that, Liv.""It's ok. No need to apologize you sure didn't do anything wrong. She is just not over you. I guess that's what you would call it""You know, to be honest with you, I tried to be more than just sex for her. Before I decided to have all 4 girls. But she didn't want anything more. Now that I'm committed to you, she wants my attention. That's all this is with her.""You mean you had real feelings for her?""Yeah, back when we were freshmen. She didn't want me in that way. So I let her go. Then Sophomore year I started seeing Lacey. Lacey was just someone I slept with. Then came Samantha. Once Maggie caught wind that I was messing around with someone she came back wanting sex. That is all she ever wanted. Then
