Alex's POV
I gasped at the sudden entrance into my room. I gently removed Jamie from on top of me and covered her with my blanket.
"Can I join?" Sid asked with a smile on his face.
"What the fuck, Sid?" I looked up at him. Sid Jennings was a friend of Jamie and I as well. He became our friend in middle school and we've all been inseparable since.
"I didn't know you two were hooking up!" He chuckled. I glanced at Jamie and she seemed flustered. Was that because of me, or because we got caught?
"We're not," I looked at him nervously, "it's a bit more complicated than that."
"I wouldn't say you two having a steamy session is complicated," he raised an eyebrow.
"I need to leave," Jamie stood up in her lingerie. I stared at her wide eyed.
"Jamie, what the fuck? You're practically naked," I scolded her.
"So what? Sid is gay you know," she grinned. This is true. Sid has been gay since we've known him.
"I still know a good body when I see one," he winked at Jamie. She laughed, got dressed, said her goodbyes and left. I ran my fingers through my hair completely frazzled.
What the fuck was I thinking? I literally have a date in an hour and I'm here sucking up Jamie's nipples like it's nobody's business. I am so stupid.
"What the fuck was that Alex?" Sid eyed me wearily.
I sighed, "I don't know man. Jamie came on to me today confessing that she loves me, and then she shows up at my house like that."
"Is she gay?" He looked puzzled.
"I didn't even get the opportunity to ask her," I shrugged, "she kissed me today then didn't speak to me after. We were supposed to go home together and she left me hanging. This is where we're at now. I never questioned it because she said she was in love. Why would I question her?"

"Well she could have fooled me," Sod scoffed, "are you gay? It would make more sense to me if you were."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I threw my pillow at him, "I don't know honestly. I had this crazy dream about a girl having me hot and bothered, then I see her at fucking school. She came on to me today as well.... I just don't know what to do!"
"Well aren't you a fan with the ladies?" He smiled. Talking these things with Sid was so easy compared to talking it with someone else. He was so transparent in every situation and refused to judge you.
"Sid," I said, "the other girl is taking me out tonight. Should I go?"
"Do you like her?" He sat down on the bed next to me.
"I don't know what I like from what I don't like," I sighed.
"Well it didn't seem like that when you were sucking up the nipples like a baby," he laughed, "you seemed like you liked that a lot!"
"Not helping Sid!" I rolled my eyes. He's always making jokes at the most serious times.
"This is a dangerous situation Alex," he said seriously, "Jamie is your bestfriend. If you have no intentions of being with her, don't lead her on or else she won't forgive you. She was transparent about how she felt, so you should be clear with her if you plan on testing the waters with someone else as well."
That seemed fair. Gina doesn't seem to mind Jamie, it seems like it's the other way around. How am I going to get Jamie on board with this?
"How did we miss this Sid?" I whispered.

"Miss what?" He blinked.
"Jamie being completely in love with me," I said softly, "I didn't see this coming at all."
"Neither did I," he agreed, "I was very surprised today."
"Why weren't you at school today?" I looked at him, "and how did you get in my house?!"
"Oh, now we're asking important questions," he laughed, "I wasn't feeling well today. I thought I'd drop by thinking that you and Jamie would be together. Little did I know."
Now that he mentioned it, he did look a bit puffy and run-down.
"Are you feeling any better?" I touched his arm. Sid meant a lot to me and I hoped it wasn't anything serious.
"I'm fine!" He assured me, "my body is just a bit overworked. Don't you have a date? What are you wearing babe?"
Oh shit! Gina could be here any minute! I need to go get ready but I have no idea what to wear.
"Sid," I hurried off into the bathroom, "pick something for me to wear!"
"My pleasure!"
I dried my skin only to see that Sid had picked out a long white sleeve top with a short black mini skirt. That skirt was pretty short. I'm not sure I should wear something so revealing around Gina.
"You'll be fine," he assured me, "live a little. This is a new part of your life, Alex. Live."
I sighed and got dressed. The doorbell rang and I rushed downstairs to meet Gina. I opened the door and there she was. A fucking goddess. I forgot how to breathe when I saw her and she blushed.
"Are you going to leave me standing here?" She asked sweetly.
"Oh shit, sorry" I mumbled, "come in." I closed the door behind her and saw Sid come down the stairs.
"Damn Alex," Sid said appreciatively, "you didn't say she was this hot!" She giggled and Sid took her arm and gave her a twirl.
"Gina this is Sid. He's a friend of Jamie and I," I rolled my eyes.
"Hi," she smiled at him nervously. Fuck. Is my heart trying leave my chest? It's just a damn smile.
"The pleasure is mine," he kissed her knuckles, "I will be leaving now. You kids have fun!" He waved and left. I was now alone with Gina and I became extremely nervous.
"You look gorgeous," she said approvingly.
"So do you," I blushed. I wanted to say more but I didn't know how to. This situation was so new to me. Do I say things like you're hot and shit? I mean guys tell girls that, but is it okay for me to tell her that?
"Are we leaving?" She asked politely.
"Oh yeah, sure. Let me just grab my keys." I grabbed my keys, let her out and turned off the lights. I locked the door behind me and I took a deep breath. This was it. I was going on a date with one of the hottest girls I had ever seen in my life.
Fuck me.
"Where are we going?"
