Lacey's POV

My phone vibrates on my nightstand.

Oh come on! You have got to be kidding me!

Jase: You look hot princess

I look up from the text and walk over to my window to see him in his room at his window smirking at me. Our houses are so close together but there's a huge tree blocking Jase's window. However all he has to do is take less than 4 steps on the branch to get into my room. I swear the people who made these houses are perverts.

Looking back up at Jase, I send him the middle finger and my signature two finger salute then walk out the door. As I walk down stairs I get another text message.

Jase: Aww :(  That wasn't very nice princess!

Lacey: TOO BAD BABE! DEAL WITH IT! 😘

Sure I know what you're thinking... are you sure Jase and me aren't together? Nah we're not. We're just friends although I did have a total crush on him in middle school. Which became awkward. And of course when high school started he was the school's badass manwhore badboy or whatever it is you want to call it. Every girl wanted to be with him and every guy wanted to be him. But that was the moment that I realized we would never be more then friends.

Just as I send the message I hit the last step and see Duke watching some old recorded football game of his team. That was when I got the best idea ever... I decide to scare him. That'll be a good laugh to make this dreadful morning better. Plus it'll be payback for him and Jase always playing pranks on me.

I tiptoe to the couch, cup my hands around my mouth, and lean down to his ear then yell 'Morning'. He falls to the ground screaming like a girl while clutching his ear.

"Lacey! What the hell?!"

Tears start rolling down my face and I clutch my stomach as I laugh. Then I start to sober down as soon as I feel arms wrap around my waist and electric tingles spiral in my stomach.

"You know...you guys should really lock your door." Jase says hugging me from behind while putting his head in the crook of my neck. I wipe the tears from my face wondering how the heck he got inside my house.

The door slams open as some of guys on the football team walk through the door. Duke stands up from the floor, still glaring at me while giving some guys a fist bump.

"Yeah anyone could walk in and murder you guys in your sleep." Luke says looking a little scared but I know he's teasing me.

"You watch too many scary movies you big baby." Freddy pushes past Luke who glares at the back of his head.

"You know we could skip today...Then maybe me and you could do something." Jase whispers into my ear while rocking us side to side and alternating from left to right foot.

"Something like what?" I ask excitingly.

"You'll just have to see." I look up at him to see him smirking again. He winks at me and I blush looking back at the guys. They look over at us and have knowing smiles on their faces.

"Ew you guys get a room!" Wesley teases us.

"What are you talking about? We're not even doing anything." I glare at Wesley.

"Not yeettt." Jase sings into my ear loud enough for all the others to hear.  I make a disgusted sound and push him away while headed to my kitchen. I hear all the guys laughing it up and joking with Jase.

Uh pigs.

🕛5 minutes later🕐

As I am eating a pop-tart, my eyes catch a figure leaning on the door.

Damn it! God! Why do you do this to me?!?

I should probably tell you guys who he is. May I introduce Jase Rodriguez... Dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes, 6'0 feet tall, Captain of the football team, Quarterback of the football team. Bad boy of the school; always in detention. Manwhore of the school; always with a different girl. My best friend. He's actually pretty great. He's sweet and caring and smart. He just doesn't want everyone to know it. 

Jase stands wearing a red and white button down shirt which is sexy and tight enough to show his well defined 6 pack. Oh and you can't possibly forget his huge biceps. I am definitely in heaven.

I think I just might pass out. That's how hot Jase Rodriguez is!

Gross! What am I saying? And why am I checking out my best friend. Ugh gross I just got the shivers.

"Like what you see?" Jase asks me with an amused face.

Damn he totally caught me staring at his perfectly toned body- Ahh you're doing it again. Answer him before he gets suspicious!

"Eh! I've seen better" I said confidently while mind was screaming for me to say 'Hell yeah I like what I see. You're a fucking gorgeous God!'

"Oh really?" He asks while stepping in front of me, blocking me between his body and the island counter. His hands come up and lay on the counter right beside my waist.

"Yeah everyday." I answer back and he looks shocked. "Aww is someone's ego shot down?"

I gently slap my hand on his cheek. He takes my hand and puts it with his beside my waist intertwining our fingers. I swear I feel tons of weird tingles in my hand. Well this is weird, I don't think that's ever happened before.

He leans foward so our lips touch just the slightest. Feeling his warm breath across my lip, smelling his minty breath makes my knees weak.

"I know you want me Lace. Why don't you just save us both the trouble and stop pretending that you don't."

I stand on my toes so I can reach and diminish the tiny distance between our lips. The door bangs against the wall as the guys come bursting in the kitchen. I jump and collide heads with Jase while he backs up away from me holding a hand to his forehead. Same with me. They look at us with amused faces.

"Ew dude that's my sister!" Duke playfully teases Jase.

"Yeah I know... she can't keep her hands off me!" Jase says proudly as the guys start laughing.

"Whatever! You wish." I say sticking my tongue out at him.

The guys start laughing and I join. Now Jase is glaring evily at me.

"Aww what's wrong jasey wasey?" I tease him while pinching his cheek.

He smacks my hand off his face and glares at me even more. Then he replaces it with a smirk.

"You know you want me princess."

"Nope. I'm pretty sure you're dreaming."

"All right. We know you two dream of each other. But we're gonna be late for school if you lovers don't stop arguing." I turn to look at Luke with a disgusted face.

"We!" I gesture towards me and Jase. "Are not lovers!"

The team laughs while Luke picks me up and places me on his shoulder. Then he starts walking, but not without muttering a sarcastic 'sure.' He turns around and fist bumps Jase.

"Luke! Put me down! Right now! I'm wearing a skirt!"

"Yep. And I got a nice view." I hear Jase's voice tease and I say "Ew you perv."

Then I hear a smack, "Ouch!" Jase cries out.

"Dude! Gross! That's my sister."
