"fuck!" i cover my mouth. parker grips my hips and the feeling intensifies. his hands move all over my body like he was looking for a place to put them.

"fuck i'm close." he moans. at the same time we hear a door shut. "shit!" we both stare at my room door. parker tries to get up but wrap my arms around his neck bringing him back down. "we're finishing."

"if your mom catches me you're fucked." he pulls out and gets up.

"marie!" my moms voice is close. parker and i jump up and scramble around my room.

"go hide!" i pick up his clothes and throw them in my closet. parker goes into my bathroom and a few seconds later i hear the shower running. "brianna!" her voice is right outside of my door now.

considering i'm butt ass naked right now, i run to my bed and hide underneath my covers. "brianna marie i know you hear me calling you!" my mom bursts in. "i didn't until now." i try to think of a million lies just in case.

"well i just wanted to tell you that we're going to dinner in a few hours so get ready." she starts to look around. "we're as in you, me, dad and noah?" i ask for clarification. "yes. now stop wasting water and get in the shower." she points to my bathroom. i nod and when she leaves, i get up and i go inside of my bathroom. the steam already fogged up the mirrors and it was hot.

"you really had to turn on the shower?" i open the curtain and hop inside the shower with him. "she bought it didn't she?" parker turns around and faces me. i look up and down his body, it's all soapy. "you better not have used my loofah." i frown looking at his hands. and there it is... my blue loofah full of soap.

"so what if i did." he continues to wash his body. "what? are you going to start using my toothbrush now?" i make fun of him. "yeah about that, you might need a new one." parker jokes. i hope he's joking. he better be joking. "very funny."

i take the loofah from him and wash myself up.

"by the way, that's never happening again." i refer to the sex we were just having. "us being just friends is doing nothing but intensifying the sexual tension we have for each other. just admit it, you don't want to be friends." parker says, i scoff.

"not true, it's not happening again."

"so did you and mason ever have a thing?" parkers random question makes me freeze. "i'm sorry?" i put my spoon of ice cream down. "i know you guys were close. i'm not sure where you guys stand now but..."

he almost looks...insecure. i watch parker scratch the back of his head. an obvious sign he's nervous but why? "i mean, i've kissed him twice. he does like me though. he was there for me when my parents divorced. he's a good friend."

every time i think about mason, i think about everything i put him through.

"wait your parents divorced?" i realize i accidentally said something i wasn't supposed to. "oh, yeah. no big deal. that's why i go to olympia on weekends." i say nonchalantly. he frowns. "what are you talking about? that is a big deal." right, it is. "i try not to think about it."

parker just eats his ice cream. he probably doesn't know what to say. "so do you like him?"

"hm?" i look up. "mason. do you like him?" he repeats. "are you jealous parker?" i mock him. "no i-i'm not jealous." he's totally jealous. "i do like him." i say watching his jaw clench. "and you like me?"

"obviously." i mix the toppings and my ice cream together.

"should i be worried?" parker says, this behavior is new to me. what's it to him? "there's no reason for you to worry, we're not together."

who knew parker grey could be insecure.

"i've been wanting to ask you to be my girlfriend for so long now." parker makes my brows raise. been wanting to ask you.

"what?"

"bri i want you, i don't want to be your fucking friend. i want you to be mine." his brown eyes gleam as he looks into mine. oh... holy shit.

"brianna, will you be my girlfriend?!" parker shouts making me embarrassed. everyone in whole ice cream shop starts to stare. i tell him to stop with my eyes.

"yes? no?" he shouts. the silence and glares are killing me.

why?

i get up out of the booth. "yes." i yell, hide my face and i walk out. as soon as i'm out of the ice cream shop, i bust out laughing. parker comes out laughing too. "i hate you so much! that was so embarrassing." i slap his arm.

"you loved it, you said yes." he comes up to me and holds me by the waist. oh my god i said yes.

"i don't want to be your fucking friend either." i whisper looking up at him.

he tucks my hair behind my ear and my heart skips a beat. "then don't be." parker kisses me and i can't help but smile. what does this mean now?
