better than this

Blair

When I walk back through to my room, in a towel, I jump at someone sitting on my bed looking anxious. "Blair oh my god I feel terrible about last night!" Jax says as I walk over, standing from his seated position on my bed. I keep my face straight, waiting to see if that's all I'm getting. "I should have never even thought about doing that to you, especially after you asked me to stop. I was just drunk and bored which I know isn't an excuse but maybe you could find it in your heart to forgive me? I brought you croissants, chocolate of course." He holds out a brown paper bag, smiling at me knowing I can't resist. I take the bag, smelling the freshly baked pain au chocolat, feeling the warmth radiating from the bag. I smile at him, "Thank you, Jax." I tell him politely.

"Am I forgiven?" He asks and I can tell from looking into his eyes that his apology was sincere. I stare into his bright blue eyes and can't resist. He may be a bit broken but I love him, so I give in. "Of course." I say and his entire face lights up, his eyes crinkling at the sides. He steps closer, wrapping his arms around my waist. I rest my hands at the back of his neck as he inches closer. He leans in and kisses me passionately, I kiss him back and he gently pushes me against the bed. "Jax hold on. Can I maybe get dressed first?" I ask, breaking the kiss and leaning my head back so I can face him properly. "Yes of course. I'll just wait outside." He says, smiling and walking out my room, sitting on the stairs.

Once he's left I brush my hair and then start dressing, putting my underwear on. I am quickly interrupted though by the sound of voices outside. "Hey uh, she's getting..." Jax's voice trails off as Hunter bursts into my room, making me jump, "dressed." Jax finishes. Hunter stands in the doorframe staring at me, smirking. "Hunter!" I say, shocked he's back so soon but also that he just burst in like that. It's Hunter. Of course he did. "It's okay. Nothing I haven't s--"
"Okay! I think you should go now, you can wait outside with my boyfriend." I interrupt, walking over and spinning him round and pushing him by his shoulders out the door. He laughs at my panicked expression and raises his hands in surrender, out on the landing. He walks over and sits beside Jax, nodding and smiling awkwardly before I close the door.

"Man, she must have you on a leash if you're sitting out here while she's in there. Looking like that." I can hear Hunter speaking loudly, not caring if I can hear clearly. Jax laughs awkwardly, "I've seen it plenty times before. It's better when she actually lets you see her in her underwear." He reassured him. Hunter goes quiet for several minutes so I go back to getting dressed, putting on some sweat shorts and a top. "How's it going in there? You decent?" Hunter shouts from the stairs as I shove on a hoodie. I open the door, wide enough for them both to come through, they stand awkwardly in my room before Hunter takes a seat at my desk. I look at him for some sort of explanation as to why he's here in my room. "So I got bored at home alone and was gonna go out but realised I wouldn't know where to go or really where anything is so I came here." He explains, "But I can see that you're busy so I'll just..." He starts to get up, his face turning pink. "Wait. I'll umm text you when I'm free. Here's my number..." I say while grabbing a pen from the desk behind him and rip off a piece of paper from a notebook. I write my number and hand it to Hunter, he takes it proudly and nods a goodbye confidently at Jax. He winks at me, flashing his brilliant smile, "See you later, nerves." He shouts as he walks breezily down the stairs. Jax looks at me, annoyed. "Who the hell was that?" He asks, clearly jealous. I walk over and wrap my arms round his neck. "Just my new neighbour. I only met him yesterday." I say and he smiles, seemingly satisfied as he moves himself closer to me. "Where were we again?" My boyfriend asks as he smiles with a glint in his eyes.

He kisses me softly and swiftly lifts me up before lying me back on the bed, not breaking the kiss. I laugh quietly into his mouth as he rests his hand behind my head. He pins his body to mine and kisses me slowly and carefully. He removes his t-shirt and then my hoodie and top at the same time. He presses his bare chest against my own as his tongue dances in my mouth.

We both jump when there's a knock on the door. Hunter walks in, his eyes dart between the two of us, at my topless chest and Jax's.  I roll my eyes at the expression on his face. "Forgot my phone." He says, inviting himself in and grabbing his phone off the desk. I don't even remember him putting it down. He starts walking out before stopping at the doorway and turning around, leaning against the doorframe with his arms folded, he stands there for a moment before he finally speaks. "So how far have you two gone together?" He asks, smirking at the two of us. I pick up a pillow and throw it at him, laughing. "Go away, Hunter." I say, smiling as he runs onto the landing, shielding from further attack. He waves at me before saying, "Buh-bye nerves." And walking back down the stairs, still laughing at my response. We hear the door click shut. Jax is glaring in his direction even though he's gone. "I don't like him." He says, his jaw clenching. "Me either." I say, knowing that that is a complete lie. He's fun to hang out with.

Jax turns to me, smiling and I feel his body back on top of me. "You know maybe we should stop. It seems that the universe is against us today. Besides, I was also hoping to get a nap." I tell him and his face turns to one of irritation. "The universe or your new neighbour?" He asks but his face quickly softens. "Ok. I'll come by tomorrow." He says bluntly with a quick smile and peck on the lips. He walks out the door and I fall back on the bed, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
