More Than a Friend. Albert x Reader

While all that was happening..

Jess POV:

I was having a great time.

Kaden and Raven were slow dancing outside, even though the only music playing was rap or hip hop.

Their relationship was amazing, anyone could see how in love they were.

Could Jake and I ever be that strong?

He was still messing around mixing things as I leaned against the counter watching him.

My friend Liz tried talking to me about some drama she had going on in her friend group, but she was so drunk I just ignored her.

Not like she'd remember.
And I had other plans.

Jess: Hey Jake let's go in the living room

Jake: Really?

He's just as nervous as I am.

Jake: I mean, yeah. Sure.

I'm not sure what I was doing but I was doing it.

Everything was covered by drunken teens.
Draping themselves across the couches and conversing with people they probably won't even remember in the morning.

We couldn't find any open couch cushions.

As if could hear our thoughts, this one random dude stood up from his place on the couch and wandered towards what I can only assume to be the broom closet. Too bad he's not my concern.

It was crowded but it wouldn't be so bad if I had to sit on his lap, would it?

Jake took me by the hand and lead me to the spot.

Jake: I can stand if you're more comfortable

No no no. Please don't ruin the moment we could have right now.

Jess: Really Jake? Like I've never sat on your lap before

His face flushed a light pink
Though it could just be the alcohol, who knows.

Jake: Okay, okay, maybe that was a stupid question

We finally sat down and decided to talk.

Now this part was definitely the alcohol.

Jess: What are we doing Jake?

His eyebrow lifted in confusion.

Jake: Wellll we're sitting together silly

But he knows what I really mean. Actually, maybe he doesn't.
Even when he's sober he takes a second to understand things.

Jess: Yes Jake, we are. It's weird getting to know each other all over again, like we don't already know each other by the back of our hands

Jake: I don't think that's how the saying goes

Jess: Don't ignore the other things I said though
