“He made me promise not to hook up with you and I broke it. Well I technically never agreed, but still. He’s probably going to be mad at me for a while.” He rolled his eyes at the fact Knox would make me promise something like that. Especially when Knox fucked most of the girls at school.
“When he cools off, he’ll come around. It wasn’t like you cheated on him.” That’s true, but why did it feel like I did?
“Is work going to be awkward? Oh my god is he going to let you come back to the house?” I was biting my lip, worried that I really did just fuck up Jude’s life.
“Little bird, don’t worry that pretty little head of yours. I forgot to mention I quit Glow last week because Ben needs me more at the shop on weekends. Also, it’s not just his house, Ezra and I are also on the lease. His parents wanted to make sure if we caused any damage or left before the lease was over, that we would be responsible too.” I finally let go of the breath I was holding, relieved that he would be alright.
“That’s good news.”
He nodded and said, “Want to head back to the party?”
“Honestly, I’m ready to leave if you are.” I was mentally drained and ready to go home. I was definitely no longer in the party mood.
“Me too, let’s go.”
We headed back to the field party to say good bye to Stella and Ezra. What we came back to was a surprise. Ezra had some red head on his lap, while Stella was with Brad. She didn’t seem to happy that Brad surprised her, so I went over to see if she wanted to leave with us.
“Hey we’re going to head out. Do you want to come back with us?” I asked Stella, but Brad answered for her.
“She’s good, I’ll bring her back.” I guess his douche side was rearing it’s head tonight, but after everything tonight I was in no mood for another fight.
“Are you sure, Stella? I emphasized Stella’s name so he knew I wanted her to answer. She gave me a small smile and nodded she was ok. Brad could be nice, but I noticed when he drinks he is a completely different person. I didn’t get a good feeling about that…
We walked over to Ezra and told him to keep an eye on her which he replied he never stopped. While walking to Jude’s car, my head was full of questions. Did he want a relationship or are we just casually hooking up? Is he going to hook up with other girls? Does he even do relationships? I had so many thoughts going in and out of my head that I didn’t realize I was just standing outside his car.
“Ok ask me.” I snapped out of it real quick and nervous to find out what he wanted me to ask him.
“Huh?”
“Obviously you are lost in that head of yours, so come on and ask.” There was no way I was asking any of that tonight. I wouldn’t be able to handle any type of rejection tonight.
“Have you had any girlfriends?” It was the best I could come up and I did want to know.
“Nope.” We both got in his car and I was pretty shock. There is no way he’s never had a girlfriend.
“I didn’t mean recently. Have you had any girlfriends since we last saw each other when we were kids?”
“Again, nope.”
“Why?” I didn’t have any boyfriends either, but Jude always had girls flocking to him. I on the other hand avoided most guys besides a hook up here and there.
“No one was ever you.” I looked at him in complete shock. All this time he hated me for something he thought I did, why would he not pursue someone else?
“You’re lying. You hated me all this time, why wouldn’t you date other girls?”
“I’m not. Have I had sex with other girls, yes. Did I want something serious, no. I might have been pissed off at you all this time, but you never left my mind.”
I had no idea what to say to that, so I asked, “Where are you going tonight?”
“I was going to drive back home, but I’ll probably get a hotel room incase Knox went there. Kind of don’t feel like getting murdered in my sleep.” He gave a smile, but I didn’t find that funny.
I punched him in the arm and said, “Not funny!”
Jude started to laugh and put his hands up in the air. “Ok killer, calm down.”
“Do you want to stay here for the night?” I honestly didn’t want to say goodbye yet and I hope he would say yes to staying here.
“Ok, but is Delilah going to be ok with it?” I pointed to the tree outside my window and gave him a smile. He shook his head in disbelief.
“Madison, I am twenty two years old. My days of sneaking in and out of girl’s windows are over.”
I gave him my best puppy dog look and said, “Come on, Delilah will make you sleep on the couch and it’s so lumpy.”
“I call bullshit, but find I’ll do this for you.”
I headed inside quietly. It was already one in the morning and I knew Delilah was fast asleep. He technically could have most likely just walked in with me, but what fun is that. When I got in my room, Jude was already at the window. “Holy shit you climbed that tree fast.”
“Had enough practice.” I gave him a look that said I didn’t need to know how many girl’s windows he has snuck in to and he started to laugh.
“Relax, remember I told you I used to sneak out of the Dolan’s to get to Ben’s shop.” Well now I feel like an idiot.
“Oh.”
“Yeah,
