Chapter 2 Deal

~Jasmine's POV

Hnn.. is it morning? .. I opened my eyes and saw the bright morning light, what happened last night?

**Hazy Flashback**

I remember Lexi picking me from the floor at the bar and bringing me to the car and blah blah down to the house and then saying some stupid words like,

"Lexi.. my boobs are bigger than yours" he rolled his eyes at that.

"Lexi.. your nose is long, that means you lie!"

"Lexi, am I fat?" down to when I started crying when he dropped me on the cushion.

"Am I irritating Lexi, what is so bad about me" I cried and I saw him clearly gulp and avoid my eyes.. what does that mean?

"Jasmine, you're drunk alright.. don't spew nonsense" he said.

"Lexi, no guy wants me.. I haven't even tried kissing, I don't know what it feels like for good 20 years .. I don't think my lips are too big, are they?" he slowly brought his hands to my face and caress it.

"You're perfect babe, just the way you are" he smoothened my hair.

"Then kiss me!" (gosh you're such a fool, why did you say that?!)

"Jazz.."

"you also can't do it right? that means the problem is from me then" I hiccupped before continuing.

"I'm just so irritating that even my best friend rejected me" I laughed drunkingly and the next thing I remembered were his lips smashing into mine and.. OMG, what happened next? I can't remember.

I raised up the cover blanket and realized my shirt is gone but my short tights are there, I turned to the other side and saw Lexi sleeping shirtless too... No no, what did we do???

"Lexi! Lexi!!" I hit him and he switched position.

"wake up!!" I yelled and he opened his eyes, our eyes met and There wasn't an ounce of regret in his eyes.

"What happened??" I gasped and he sneered.

"You were screaming my name under me yesterday" he said and my eyes widened.

"That's a lie" I gasped.. I'm not feeling any pain down there like the novels say.

"ha! you should see yourself right now" he chuckled. "Nothing happened chillax babe.. although I got turned on while we were smooching on the bed but you puked on both if ourselves before I could do anything so I took if your clothes and mine" he said and I sighed in relief.

I can't believe we even took it to the bed. He sat up and looked at me as if expecting me to say something.

"I'm sorry for forcing you to kiss me" I looked down on my hands.

"Jazz.." he rubbed my hair. "how about I say I like kissing you" he said and I looked at him, he brought his face closer and savored my lips. I got lost not knowing what to do but then.. the face of Alicia appeared in my head.

I pulled out halfway, "stop!"

"Are you denying you don't like it too?" he said and moved closer.

"Lexi.. what has gotten into you" I frowned "you have a girlfriend"

"I know baby girl.."

"go to your room and leave me alone, what we just did is wrong" I said and avoided his gaze.

"we're probably late for first lecture" I added but I felt his lips on my cheeks before he stood up and left his room.

I felt my heart slow down on its pace, it's all my fault for starting it.. he is my best friend and I shouldn't have asked him to kiss me yester night. I won't deny, I enjoyed the lingering feeling and new feeling in my stomach as we exchanged salivas .. it felt unusually sweet and I felt more safe losing my first kiss Lexi because he is the only one I trust most.

I didn't even know when my hands subconsciously move to my lips.. I want to try it again.

I got down from the bed and took a shower.. even in the shower, the picture of us kissing couldn't leave my head. I shook my head countless times till I dressed in a white jean and casual shirt with a white pair of sneakers.

I took my satchel and walked to the living room to meet Lexi dressed and on his phone. When he noticed my presence, he looked up to me and stood up. I walked to him and kiss him back.

Now I have no excuse, this is in the broad daylight and I'm not high on any liquor shots.

I stared at his expression for a while but he smirked amusingly.

"You have a lot to learn about kissing" he held my shoulder.

"Aren't you worried Alicia would find out what we're doing?" I said.

"We're best friends and it's only normal for us to share kisses"

"But this is in the mouth" I retorted. I tried searching his eyes to see what he was thinking but I couldn't understand him. He pinched my lips with a little force before talking.

"Alicia doesn't have to find out.. I can teach you how to kiss so that you won't embarrass yourself with other guys" he cupped my face with his left hand.

"But.." I wanted to say something but he cut be off by kissing me instead.

"Deal or no deal?" he said and I bit my lips. I stood on my toe after giving it a thought for a while, I slowly returned the kiss.

"I'll take that as a yes, let's go to school" he caressed my face and hugged me.

~Lexi's POV

When we got to school, we parted ways.. she's studying English as a major while I'm studying Fine and Visual Arts.

I entered the art studio and met Casper, we're in the same course and Jasmine saw him when she came to meet me earlier and they started going out.

"Casper bro" I patted his shoulder and he shrugged my hands are off - I was expecting it.

"What's your deal, I just found out all the guys she dared broke up with her also because you threatened them like you did to me" Casper frowned.

"Yeah.. yeah good thing you decided to listen to me"

"Jerk! do you derive pleasure in causing her harm?" He pushed me off lightly, he must've been really into her.

"Woah.. do you wanna be on my enemy list.. I told you to stay away from her she's mine!! MINE alright!!" I half yelled and stressed the word 'mine'. She is mine.. Jasmine is mine.. she has to be mine alone and no one else's.

"..huh" Casper paused.

"Everyone knows you're just a protective best friend of hers"

"Stay away from her.. that's all I'll tell you" I said and walked out of the studio to find a place to catch my breathe.

[After School Activities]

"School was so hectic, full of notes" Jasmine complained and dropped her bag while I just kept staring at her every moves.

"I want to make some noodles, are you interested?" she looked at me with a cocked eyebrow.

"Yeah, of course" I replied and she dashed into the kitchen.

I walked to my room, dropped my bag at some place and took off my shirt, I feel more comfortable that way and Jasmine is already used to it.

I came back to the living room and walked in the direction of the kitchen to take water. I slowed down in my steps and observed her action as she cooked.

Why am I just noticing she has a curvy backside?

I walked to her sneakingly and hugged her from behind. I started kissing her nape..

"Lexi.. I'm cooking" she said coyly and tried to wriggle out of my hold but I pulled her back and trailed my hands into her shirt.. up to her b××bs, caressing it.

I smiled when got the reaction I wanted. I turned her to face me and kissed her lips.

"yummy" I mumbled and she stared at me. I wanted to reconnect her lips to mine when I heard a voice.

"Lexi, jasmine.. where are you guys!" that sounds deadly familiar and it's similar to Alicia's voice.

I disengaged quickly from her and Alicia entered the kitchen almost immediately.
