Get Your Beauty Sleep (Lindsey’s POV)
869 Words
After meeting my mom at the little Italian restaurant we like, I head home to gather my books and everything else I need for the first day of school. I go through my closet and pick out my outfit, which is dark skinny jeans and a cream scoop neck t-shirt along with my brown suede booties. I also pick out a bunch of bangle bracelets and my cross necklace to finish the outfit off.
Once I’m finished my mind started wondering back to the kiss I shared with Jonas at the school. It wasn’t my first kiss, but pretty close. I had one boyfriend, Thomas, my freshmen year, for like two weeks. After just that short amount of time, I could tell we were better off as friends. I didn’t feel any sparks when Thomas kissed me, but Jonas’ kiss, I never wanted it to end. It sent tingles the whole way down to my toes. If I wasn’t in a rush to meet my mom I would of stood there kissing him all day. I was starting to worry about how much I liked him. Even though Jonas said he liked me, he still didn’t seem like the relationship type. He surely wasn’t my boyfriend after sharing one kiss, but I felt sick thinking he was never actually going to want to be together like that anyway. I didn’t want to be the type of girl, like Amber, who just made out with whoever she wanted when she wanted.
Maybe I was stupid. Maybe it didn’t matter to most people if there was a “title” to their relationship, but I wanted something real, and for it to feel real, I had to have that title. I wanted someone to be proud to have his arm around me, not have to worry if he had his arms and lips on everyone. There was no point in me stressing about this now though when I didn’t know what the future held. Just as a jarred my brain out of thinking about it, my phone beeped with an incoming text message. At first I got giddy until I realized that I didn’t give Jonas my phone number. It took me awhile to find his contact until I saw he saved it under my nickname for him. It made me smile, but I also felt like I couldn’t text him. I barely knew him and didn’t understand these strong feelings I had for him. I needed to sort myself out.
Jake: Hey girl. U ready
for school tmw?
Jake and I had become really close the last two years, I even considered him my favorite guy friend. We always goofed around, hung out, and even snuggled a time or two. But, as everybody already knows, that’s just Jake. Honestly, my feelings have always been just as platonic for him as his are for me. It worked for us.
Me: Yup, I was about to
jump in the shower then head to
bed. This girl needs her beauty
rest lol. U ready?
Jake: Don’t tease talkin about
you showering Linds. I don’t need
Jonas trying to beat me up already
LOL. I’m ready to see all the girls.
Oh how I miss them all lol
Me: (insert eye roll) and gag me
now.
Jake: Always a hater Linds. Boy
Wonder has been hitting me up
for your number. Put the kid out
of his misery and just text him.
I stop and stare at my phone, Jonas asked Jake for my number? It’s only been a couple hours, and I didn’t know what to say. Hey? What’s up? Can we please kiss again? Gah why was I so nervous! I never had any issues talking to boys before, but boys had never kissed me like that either! I chastised myself because this is exactly what I wanted, I wanted boys to notice me, and now one did and I was already trying to hide from him. Gathering up my bravado I type Blue Eyes into my text bubble and decide on casual flirty.
Me: I don’t know if I should
be flattered or worried about
you harassing my friends,
for my phone number lol
Before I overthink my out right flirting and obsessing over what he says, I throw my phone on my bed. I decide to go shower and try to calm my nerves instead of waiting for a reply. I grab my bed clothes and run out the door.
