I woke up the next morning to light shining through the window directly into my eyes, and Jaimes arms wrapped securely around me. I couldn't help but smile to myself as I turned facing him, watching him sleep as he was nuzzled into me. Jaime was a very good looking guy, that I couldn't deny even if we were just friends. And I was happy I finally got to be with him after he's been away on tour for so long. Even when he was home from tour, most of the time lately, I wasn't able to see him as much as I'd like or any of the guys for that matter thanks to Adam and his jealousy. Adam... I don't even.. I can't...

"Ava, are you okay?" Jaime chuckled groggily as he pulled me closer to him. "At first I thought you were watching me sleep and it was pretty cute, but now you're just staring and it's getting a little creepy."

"Shut up." I laughed hitting him playfully. "I was just thinking."

"And what is my Ava thinking about this morning?"

"Just how happy I am to wake up next to you after you've been gone for so long. And about Adam..." I watched as Jaimes nostrils flared and his muscles tightened around me. "I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry about, I just wish you were thinking about me more, and none of Adam." Jaime smiled slightly kissing me softly on the cheek. It was times like these when I was sure Jaime had feelings for me. But then again, we always acted this way around eachother. Except of course when one of us were in a relationship and then we would tone it down quite a bit for obvious reasons. And I loved this Jaime, I loved how he was the only one I can feel absolutely safe with, and how he is the only one who can bring me back to earth when I'm having a break down. He was and will always be my best friend. But I suppose that was always the problem with us, or with him. Jaime never stayed friends with any of his ex girlfriends, he always told me how it was too hard, and not even worth it. I guess I've just always been afraid to act on any feelings I had for him so I would never have to lose him, I couldn't be able to do that, and frankly I wouldn't.

"Seriously, Ava. Are you sure you're okay? You keep zoning out." Jaime frowned slightly as I curled up into him sighing.

"I'm fine, Jaime. My thoughts just get the better of me sometimes." I replied rubbing his arm reasuring him.

"Hmmm well I'm going to go take a shower, I think Mike got home last night while you were asleep and I'm sure he'd be happy to see you." Jaime said standing up from bed, wearing nothing but his boxers causing me to blush, even though I've seen him in less over a thousand times. Not from doing anything, but from stupid dares when we were younger or when we all went skinny dipping as an act of free will when we were sixteen.

"Yeah, uhm.. I'll go say hi to him." I tried not to overly stare.

"Or you could join me in the shower." Jaime laughed noticing how I was acting. "You've seen me naked before, no need to blush over boxers."

"Ha ha I was just um ya know, sensitive skin, it gets red when irritated."

"Mhmmm you know where to find me." Jaime replied helping me out of bed and kissing me again on the cheek before pushing me down the stairs to where Mike was situated eating a bowl of cereal on the couch.

"Ava?! What the fuck are you doing here?!" Mike yelled putting down the bowl and wrapping me in probably the tightest hug I've ever recieved.

"Mike I swear to fucking God, you invented the bear hug." I breathed as air was quickly leaving my lungs.

"Quit being a puss." Mike smiled letting go of me. "So coming down from Jaimes room? It's about damn time you guys did the do, how was it? I didn't hear any screaming so it must not have been that good." Mike added smirking.

"Oh you know, just as good as the last time." I replied sitting down next to where he was now sitting on the couch.

"So I'm guessing you aren't with Adam anymore considering you spent the night."

"No, I uhm.. we're over."

"Well I'm not going to say I'm sorry that you're no longer with that asshole. But I'm sorry that you had to go through this." Mike said softly wrapping his arm around me. "There's no better time now then for you and Jaime to get officially together."

"Oh yeah, let me tell you about how that's never going to happen. I'm not going to risk losing my best friend, Mikey. You know that, we've already talked about this, a million and two times."

"Why do people say that anyway? A million and two, what a stupid metaphor."

"You're a stupid metaphor."

"Way to be mature, Ava." Mike laughed "Do you want to go get high while Jaimes in the shower?"

"No she doesn't, Mike." Jaime said shaking his head as he headed down the stairs. "She gets horny when she's high, and I'm not having you of all people around her when that happens." He grunted sitting next to me on the couch, pulling me away from mike and into him.

"That's fine, I'm sure she's horny for only one guy in this room, and it's not me." Mike retorted laughing slightly to himself.

"You're right, she's horny for me." Vic chimed in walking in from the back porch sending us a wink.

"This is just getting awkward on levels I'm not ready to reach yet." I mumbled curling into Jaime more as my cell phone went off, Adams name flashing across the screen.

"I swear if you answer that, Ava." Jaime said giving me a look.

"I wasn't even thinking about it, Jaime." I replied letting it go straight to voice mail.

"Good, Tony and I are going to go over there once he gets over here to get some more of your stuff, and you and Vic are going to go out and have a grand old time while we're doing so."

"Oh no, I know what you're going to do once you get over there Jaime, and I'm not going to let that happen."

"And why not, because you don't want me hurting Adam, because you still have feelings for him?" Jaime said standing up.

"The only feelings I have left for Adam is a lot of pain he caused, you of all people should know that and no that's not the reason. Have you ever thought that maybe I'm worried you might get hurt? Jaime if anything happened to you I'd feel terrible."

"Ava, nothing is going to happen to me. Besides, we're going when he's hopefully going to be at work so we don't even have to see him, okay?" Jaime smiled at me reassuringly pulling him into his embrace.

"Okay."

"Ready to head out?" Tony asked walking through the front door while Jaime held onto me for just a little while longer before letting go and heading out with him. I don't know why, but I had a bad feeling about this and judging by the look on Vics face, he had the same feeling.

"I know, come on. Let's go to the mall or something and try not to think about it. They'll be fine, Ava." Vic smiled grabbing his keys.
