Collins goes on his next 48hr on saturday, right?
Yeah, is there a game saturday night?
Lol, nice joke. You think I know when sportsball games are?
Lmao, good point
Ok, I just googled it, and yes there is
Ok, so saturday?
Sounds like a plan
Oh shit, is five days enough time for us to both get tested?
Ahhh, good point.

Nikki reacted with a laughing face to my gif, and I stared down at my phone, the smile on my face way too big.
I was in so much trouble.

Thenextfivedayspassed by in a blur. James and I went back to pretending like everything was normal—joking aroundwith Will and Collins, hanging out in the living room, going to work as usual.
But every time I made eye contact with him, I blushed, and every time he looked at me it felt like he was setting me on fire with his eyes. It was Saturday morning now, and I was pacing back and forth in my room, freaking the fuck out. Last night, all four of us had sat down to do our weekly Friday night binge of our favorite reality dating show with a bunch of hot single people coupling up in a tropical paradise, performing ridiculous challenges, and being the most extra people on the planet. It was the episode where they dressed up in lingerie trying to get each other’s heart rates up.
James and I sat next to each other, and I spent the entire episode squirming in my seat. The combination of the episode, the anticipation for tonight, and the way my arm kept brushing against James’s had me so horny I’d had to run to my room as soon as it was over to take care of the problem myself. I could have sworn as I left the living room James's eyes were smoldering at me, but when I looked back again he was just joking with the boys.
Normally, when I masturbated I didn’t think of anyone in particular, and more so just imagined a sexual act itself. But last night James’s face had popped into my mind against my will. That heated look in his eyes was all I could see as I fell over the edge. I had laid in bed afterwards, catching my breath and praying I hadn’t made any noises.
And now, it was time. Collins had left for the start of his shift in the morning before I woke up, and Will was about to head out to the radio station to cover the game. James and I had both gotten our test results back and made sure we had condoms on hand. And now there was nothing to do but wait.
I had spent the day cleaning my room up—and by that, I meant moving the piles of crap into hidden spaces like bedside drawersand behind closet doors. Now I was sitting on the bed with the TV on, but I didn’t even know what was playing. I was lowkey freaking out, scrolling on my phone without even seeing what I was looking at. Was I really about to have sex for the first time, and with one of my closest friends?
Just the anticipation had me both wet and so anxious I felt like I was going to vibrate out of my own skin. More time must have passed than I realized, because before I knew it, there was a knock at my bedroom door. I leapt out of the bed, looking down at my phone to see it had been an hour already—even though it had only felt like ten minutes.
I took in my clothing and realized I was still wearing my oversized, stained-but-oh-so-comfortable sweats and a shirt that definitely needed to be washed. I had meant to change earlier, but lost track of time.
“Just a minute!” My voice was much higher-pitched than it should have been, and I cleared my throat as I scrambled to my closet to throw something at least a little nice on. Thank god I was already wearing a matching bra and panty set. It was nude and unlined, the shades of my nipples just barely visible through the floral-patterned tight-knit mesh fabric. Wait, should I be wearing only my underwear when I opened the door for him?
God, how did people do this normally?
Deciding on a simple floral cotton minidress—cute but not looking like I was trying too hard—I finally opened the door.
