《Safe Haven》Chapter Twenty Six
Advertisement
Jamie and I are staring at Scott lying butt naked in Jess' bed when she runs out of the bathroom.
"Shit," she whispers and rushes to close the door we left open. After finding this scene inside the bedroom, my priority was to avoid being traumatized, not closing a door.
"I'll say it again," Jamie speaks slowly. "What the fuck?" She looks at Jess and points at Scott. "You've been kicking me out because of him?"
"I'm right here, you know..." he says still on the bed.
"We can see that, so can you please put some clothes on?" I say and he wraps himself in the sheets before getting off the bed. He runs around the bedroom to grab his clothes from the floor and disappears in the bathroom.
"Well..." Jamie says to Jess.
"Yes..."
"Every time?"
"Yep."
"Ok..." She sighs and turns to me as if I have any explanation.
"Don't look at me! Look at her!" I turn to Jess. "Are you guys dating or something?"
"What?" She frowns. "No. We're just having some fun." She shrugs.
"I just-" I take a deep breath. "Why didn't you tell us?"
"'Cause it's not that big of a deal."
"Excuse me?" Jamie raises her voice. "I think I'll decide the size of a 'deal' it is, Jessica. And it's big."
"We're all friends, you can tell us anything," I say. "And you know about us." I motion between Jamie and me.
"But it's not the same thing," she says and Scott comes out of the bathroom fully clothed. "Scott, tell them you and I are not the same as the two of them."
"What do you mean the two-" His eyes go wide. "I knew you guys had a thing for each other!" He raises his voice and I roll my eyes. "Jess and I even talked about it a while ago. We almost made a bet to see how long it would take for you two to get together." He laughs.

"A bet?!" I yell. "Jessica!" Jamie huffs and runs her hands through her hair.
"He said almost! Of course we wouldn't actually do it," she says. "Have some faith in me, y'all."
"It's just..." Jamie sighs. "This is weird, ok? I need time to process this." Her stomach grumbles. "And I'm starving." She goes to her desk and grabs her card. "We're leaving." She holds my hand and we go to the door.
"We were about to go get breakfast too," Jess says. "Just give us a few-"
"Nope!" Jamie cuts her off. "I'm not doing this right now."
We close the door behind us and go wait for the elevator. I look at her and burst out laughing. She looks at me like I'm insane, but I can't help it.
"I did not expect that," I say when the laughter dies down while we're in the elevator. "Not at all."
"What is happening right now?" she asks and I giggle.
"I have no idea."
We get out of the elevator and go to the dining hall for our breakfast.
"These are the best non-costume costumes ever," I say as I look at myself in the mirror with Jamie standing behind me.
"I told you, it's a gift." She flips her hair.
I laugh and take in the simple mid-thigh length black dress paired with some knee high black boots and the red leather jacket Jamie lent me. It's just a normal outfit if you'd ask anybody.
I turn and look at her all-black look, tight pants, long sleeve shirt and ankle boots.
"I just need that belt you told me you'd lend me, then I'm done," she says and I go get it in my closet.

I give it to her and she puts it without passing through the loops in her pants. I smile as I take in her outfit.
"You deserve a kiss right now." I laugh and press my lips against hers. "You, miss Bell, are a genius."
"Thank you. When you have a gift like mine, you have to share it with mere mortals." We both laugh and make our way to the entrance to meet the girls and Scott.
When we get out of the elevator, Daisy immediately sees us. Her jaw drops and her eyebrows furrow so hard, they're almost touching each other. If she was a cartoon character, I'm sure there would be smoke coming out of her ears. "I told you two to wear fucking costumes! You just showed up wearing normal clothes!"
"Excuse you." I grab my phone and show her the reference photo.
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, ALLISON??" she yells and a few people look at us.
"Are you going to tell me this is not Scarlet Witch's costume in The Age of Ultron?" I hold back my laughter.
"I hate you!" she says and turns to Jamie. "And what are you? Some random spy?"
She shows Daisy the picture on her phone. "Black Widow."
"I cannot fucking believe you two." She throws her hands up and stomps away from us. This time I can't hold the laughter anymore and it just bursts out. "Let's go before I kill you," she yells over her shoulder.
Jamie and I follow her out and meet Jess and Scott talking near the stairs. I wince at the memory from this morning and quickly get it off my mind.
"What are you guys?" Scott asks.
"Don't even bother," Daisy grunts.
"Scarlet Witch and Black Widow," Jamie says.
"That is genius."
"Thank you."
"Shut up, Scott," Daisy says.
"And what are you guys?" I ask pointing at them.
"I'm Katara from The Last Airbender, not that you would know since you have no culture." Daisy rolls her eyes.
"I'm the Doctor from Doctor Who," Scott says.
"And I'm a Hogwarts student." Jess waves her wand.
"That's cool." I point towards Jess' yellow scarf. "You're a Hufflepuff?"
"With pride." She smiles. "What about you?"
"Ravenclaw, baby." I laugh as we walk to Jamie's car.
The two of us and Jamie spend the entire ride talking about which house everyone is in. Jamie says she's a Hufflepuff, and the three of agree immediately that Daisy is a Slytherin for sure. We spend a while figuring out Scott's, and land on Hufflepuff.
When we get to the event facility, a few people in costumes are walking around and going in. We get out of the car and Jamie locks it.
"It's showtime!" Daisy says loudly.
"Hey! I know that one!" I smile and turn to her. "That's Beetlejuice."
She stares at me, then pulls me in a tight hug. "I've never been prouder."
We all laugh and she pulls away so we could go inside.

Who Knows?
"Watch it.""Watch it," I mock him in a whisper, feeling brave. Suddenly, he gets up from his stool and stalks towards me. His large frame towering over my sitting form. I swallow the last bit of my pancakes slowly, my eyes wandering up his body until they stop at his face. He seems displeased. Very much so. His hand grabs the part where my head and neck connect and he slowly but firmly tilts my head back, his fingers tangling in my hair. His skin is rough on mine but still oddly comforting."What did you just say?" He asks, each of his words pronounced slowly and precisely. "I-I-I j-just.. I was j-just joking." I barely choke out. "You were just joking, huh?" "Mhm." I nod, my head subconsciously leaning into his touch my eyes closing on their own accord. His thumb caresses my cheekbone and I never want him to stop. I have never had a male being make me feel this good before. Don't get me wrong I did kiss a few people but it never felt as good as what he is doing right now. "Romy?""Yes," I breathe out, biting my lip. His thumb is quick in pulling it from between my teeth. "Nevermind." He rushes out, detaching his hand from my face.Hey Guys! I hope you enjoy my story.
