That shower was so nice. I needed to just relax in the steam. Luckily Maggie has classes all day Fridays so I could yet again air dry.
It was so liberating to be naked in the apartment. I don't know why I liked it so much.
I turned on some One Direction and just danced around. A tip Maggie gave me to de stress before big races.
"Fuck"
Confused by the voice in the apartment I immediately turn around. I am so shocked by what I see... Zeke.
Quickly I cover myself with the towel that was in my hair. I can't believe he just saw me naked. Never had I let a guy see me naked. Now two best friends have seen me in less than 24 hours!
"What the hell are you doing here Zeke! How did you get in my room?!"
"It's before 5, the buildings don't lock until 5. Why're you dancing naked?"
"I was supposed to be alone!"
"Well I'm glad I came when I did. You're so hot Liv"
"Yes, yes she is" said a third familiar voice. Jake walks into the room.
"What the hell is going on. Why are you here Zeke. Why are you not wearing clothes in front of him Liv?"
"Hey! He just showed up and I was supposed to be alone!"
"Zeke, please let us be alone" Jake asked. Zeke nodded and left the room.
Then Jake looked at me
"Olivia, I really like you" he began choking up "which is why this is so hard, but we're breaking up".
"Breaking up?! Jake you asked me out less than 12 hours ago! Why are you doing this?!" I began crying.
He was crying too "I'm not dumb Olivia. I know you love him. I know you've loved him for so long. You remained his friend. You care about him. And now you know he feels the same way. I can't stand between you guys."
"Jake no! You don't get to make that decision. I chose you! Don't do this!"
"Liv, I still really like you, and I don't want you to feel bad for loving him. I don't want you to ever wonder 'what if'. I want you to know for certain that you want to be with me. Because call me crazy but after last night I know I want to be with you forever. I'm not willing to change my mind in this. I need you to know you want to be with me because you care about me. Not because you lost your virginity to me. And certainly not because I was a second choice after Zeke. I don't want you to feel bad for needing to decide. I won't be upset if it take you testing the waters with him to know if it's me. But if you loved him. You need to make sure that he's not the one anymore. You've known him for over two years and have only spoken to me for a week. You owe me nothing." Then he kissed my forehead and walked out. "Don't follow me Liv. Please do not fight. Not now."
Did this all just happen? What am I supposed to do now? I broke down crying even hard than before when Maggie walked in.
"Honey what's wrong?! Zeke asked Sawyer for my key so I knew I had to come check on you!"
