Enemies with Benefits by KiKi XoXo (cool books to read .txt) 📖

tonight we have some play stuff to practice, so I'll call you?" He asks, Biting the inside of my cheek I nod. It's weird we're sitting up a time for us to practice kissing. That sounds like a blast. "Sounds good, see you both later." Then Robbie walks off down the hall. Just as the track girl come out of the changing room, in their short shorts, and sports bras. They all hover around Jason flirting and shoving the asses at him. I imediately retreat into the room, Jake is probably waiting for me already. Going towards my clothes I reach back and try and get the zipper. Shit. I peek outside the room, seeing only Jason and Austin at the other end. Of course just when I'm about to ask Austin to come over, he walks away. Leaving Jason. 

 

"Jason." I say his name. He looks down the hall at me. "I need a favor." I add, and I can feel my cheeks heating from embarrassment.  Walking towards him,  he looks at me skeptically. 

 

"Yes?" He asks, I turn around moving my hair. 

 

"Can you unzip this a little... I can't reach it." I ask. Hoping no one is around to see. I mean it's not a huge deal, but it's weird with out past, and Jake and I. 

 

"Yeah.." he sighs, and pulls the zipper down I reach back, seeing if I can reach it now. I can. 

 

"Thanks." I say without turning and looking at him. Then I go back to the changing room, slipping out of my dress, and back into my clothes, I run the dress back to Mrs. Oliver. Then I run to Mr. Parkers room, meetin him and Jason again.  "Grabbng my things." I say, picking up my stuff from my desk. I wave goodbye, and run to the library. I set my things down on the table, seeing Jake's things here but not Jake himself. I look around, but he isn't in the room at all either. I peek outside, seeing if he is getting a drink or using the rest room. Where in the hell is he? 

 

Sitting at the table I look at his stuff, he even left his phone here. Getting up again, I look around seeing if I missed him. I peek out of the row of shelves I'm in when I hear the door open and close. It's not even Jake. It's his brother. 

 

"Where is he?" I mumble, not very happy.

 

"Dad called... I assume they're having one of those serious conversations. I came to tell you for him, that he probably wont be here for another hour or so, so if you want to go eat or do what ever you do you can."  I look back down at his stuff sitting here. His phone is here even, something is off. 

 

"Alright fine, I have better thing to do anyways." I grab my bag, and leave. I walk towards the office, just to see if he is in there. Seeing Mr. Lincolns in there I scurry away. Jason wasn't lying. I go to my dorm and grab an apple from the kitchen thenI go to my room, sending Robbie a text about the whole kiss practice thing.  I really don't want to do it, but it needs done.  Five minute later Robbie is over, and we're laughing about Anne who is downstairs freaking out about another guy turning her down. Once we're back in my room though things get quiet. Sitting on my bed the two of us look at the floor unsure exactly what to do now. 

 

"Paige it's just a kiss.... it doesn't mean anything." He says turning and looking at me. I nod in agreement, it is just a kiss, but it's still weird he is my best friend. I don't want people thinking we're together. I don't want things between us to change! "Paige your thinking to hard." He sighs, leaning towards me real quick. His hand caress's my cheek, tilting my head up and touching our lips again. I don't pull away this time, but that doesn't make it any easier. I feel it out, letting the kiss kind of play on my lips not really taking it in or putting any effort into it. Then Robbie drops his hand, and falls back on my bed letting out a breath. 

 

"I'm sorry. It's just weird because I've never pictured myself kissing you. Never thought about you like that. Ever." I apologize. 

 

"Paige, just think about middle school. Back when you did have a crush on me." He sits up and my face turns red. How does he know about that?! I get up from my bed, rubbing my eyes and trying to hide my embarrassment. I guess I probably have thought about kissing him, but god that was way back in middle school! 

 

"How'd you know that?" I turn, trying to sound angry and not embarrassed. He smirks roling his eyes, and wiggling his eyebrows at me. 

 

"I've got sources..." he snickers, now I role my eyes. Patrick I'm guessing. "But that's not the point. Would you just get over here and really practice this." He stands up now. Walking towards me. Grabbing my elbows he shakes my slightly. "Okay so real practice okay?" he asks.  Real practice. Really kiss Robbie. I do wonder now if he is a good kisser, Carmen is getting to me now! I nod, I'm gonna find out if he is or isn't a good kisser now. Still holding my elbows he leans down, and I go on the tips of my toes... yes he is taller then me too... now when our lips touch it's not an awkward we have to do this so let just do it, it's actually us both trying to make our kiss seem ligit and couple like.

 

He is a good kisser.  I have to admit. I haven't kissed many guys, but out of the couple I have he comes in third. Jake, Jason, and then him. I pull away now, shaking my head. I'm comparing guys kisses that isn't good. I move out of his hold, scratching my forehead. 

 

"Better." He says, and I send him a look. To me that kiss seemed pretty believable. Even though I wasn't actually watching it myself, it felt pretty damned real.  "Paige.. you need to put more into this, I don't know what is so weird about kissing me anyways." 

 

"I don't want people getting the wrong idea here that what... We're friends nothing more." I say.

 

"I know you can do better." He shakes his head. Challenging me. He is trying to get me worked up about this. "It's acting anyways.. it's not like it means anything." shrugging his shoulders. I role my shoulders, thinking about this. Do I give into him, or do I make him leave?  "Are you scared? Worried you might start liking me more then a fri-"

 

I gave into him and his trickery. Grabbing the collar of his shirt in both my hands, I pull him down smashing our lips toghether. His hands go to me waist holding me, it's odd having his hands there in this kind of way. I mean I have no problems hugging Robbie, and he always kisses my forehead and cheek. What is the big difference? Letting go of his shirt, I push him back smirking. Pretty happy with myself,  I cross my arms.

 

"I knew there was a little fight in you." He jokes. I role my eyes, he is still saying I'm not doing good enough!  "We're supposed to be in love Paige.. not just playing a quick game of seven minute in heaven." He sighs, shruging his shoulders again.

 

"How do I kiss you like I love you when I don't!" I say frustrated.

 

"Ouch... you don't love me?" He fake pouts, holding a hand over his heart.

 

"Not like this." I sigh. Walking towards my bed to sit down. He sits next to me, both of us now looking at the floor again.  I'm supposed to kiss him like I'm in love with him. Megera does love Herecules in the musical though, and it is acting.  "One more go.." I say, sitting up straight. I close my eyes clearing my thoughts. Don't think of it as kissing Robbie. Think of it more like kissing Herecules. Yeah, it's techically not Robbie, it's Herecules.  Clearing my throat, I move in again. Herecules running throug my head. Our lips brush nice and soft. It's Herecules, not Robbie. You're not Paige.. you're Megera and you love Herecules!

 

"Let me try something." Robbie whispers inching away a second. What does that mean? I'm about to protest, but his lips are back on mine and he is leaning in and over me more. I fall back, and he comes with hovering over me. What is he trying? This isn't part of the script! His tongue slips across my lips, and it sends shivers through my body. Oh hell no this isn't happening. I push him off of me, and get up from my bed away from him. "Paige come one you need to get over this!" He says getting up and grabbing my hand. 

 

"I think we practiced enough for today." I say taking my hand away. 

 

"Paige. I'm sorry, but you need to get out of this funk." He says. 

 

"I'm trying!" I say throwing my hands up in the air. "I don't understand how this is so easy for you!" I say. My phone starts ringing and I answer it, ignoring Robbie's look of disaproval.  "Yes?" I say angerly into the phone. 

 

"Whoa tiger whats got you in such a sour mood?" Jake's voice echoes from the other side. 

 

"It's been a long day. Do you need something?" I ask. Leaning against the desk, and ignorig Robbie some more. He is sulking now. Good the jerk, I can't believe what he tried to pull. I still don't understand how this is so easy for him. 

 

"I still need that session." Jake replies, and I nod. I need to get out for a bit too. Although I don't want to deal with my Jake problems, I don't want to deal with Robbie.  "I'm actually outside your dorm right now... if you want I can come up to your room." 

 

"No!' I say, and there is a long pause. "I'll come down, and we can figure thing out from there." I say. Then I hang up before he can protest.  "I've got to go."  I say to Robbie. I leave my room, and he follows behind me. I go downstairs and outside I see Jake parked across the street, and I don't look back at Robbie or say anything. I'm very mad at him right now. 

 

"Can we go anywhere but here?" I say to Jake, keep at least two feet between us. No way do I want Robbie thinking we're together. Although I'm sure he has those thoughts already. 

 

"Where ever." he says, opening the passenger door for me. I get in and rub my eyes I'm tired already.  "What's wrong?" He asks getting in the drivers side. 

 

"Nothing... just the whole kiss thing isn't panning out." I sigh. 

 

"You were practicing?" Jake asks, not sounding happy. 

 

"Yeah... it didn't go well." I say, "Can we talk about something else?" I say, as he pulls up to his dorm. We're up in his room before anything else is said, and I have all of his papers scattered out, and we're working on them.  After we get through all of them but one, he starts loosing focus. 

 

"What happened.. in your room?" He asks, and I look down at the pencil in my hand. "Paige?" He asks, pushing the papers up and away from us. 

 

"Nothing... Robbie just doesn't understand that it is weird for me to be kissing him." I say. 

 

"Why do I get the feeling you're lying to me?" He says, and I can feel him looking at me.  I glance at him, and our eyes lock. Unable to look away I let out a breath. "Nothing happened... he just was a bit forceful you could say. Nothing
