The Best Friend Agreement

Morning After

Ivy’s P.O.V

I woke, taking a moment to remember where I was. I was still completely naked…we both were. It would be hard to forget we were naked with his morning wood digging into my back

“Eww get that away from me.” I complained

“Really? You are saying that to me after what happened last night? You love my morning wood against you Ivy, don’t act like you don’t.” I heard him chuckle, knew he would have a stupid smug look on his face

I was quick to pull away from him, turning to face him and right enough he had a smug look on his face. I reached over, slapping his arm, shaking my head in disgust at him, giggling at the same time. He gave me his dorkiest smile

“That thing aint ever going anywhere near me again Ryder.” I laughed

“If you say so.” He smirked

“Go f**k yourself love.” I giggled, pushing at his chest

I was glad things were not awkward between us after last night. Last night was incredible, he is good in bed, no wonder he had been around the block more than once, and he knows what he is doing. I was in need of it as well I think. Though a part of me knew it should never have happened cause I know Ryder trying to forget about Ellie was a huge part of why it happened but at the same time I was glad I made him forget…helped even only for a few moments.

Ryder flipped me off, rolling onto his back staring at the ceiling as I climbed out of the bed. I let my eyes trace over his half naked body…his lower half covered up with the sheets. I licked my lips at the sight of him, not meaning too. I snapped out of it before he caught me.

“I am going for a shower. You can start in breakfast.” I said smiling widely at him

“Nothing unusual there. I am always left to do all the cooking.” He laughed

I stuck my tongue out at him, flipping him off before grabbing some towel and head towards the bathroom

“NICE ASS.” He called after me

“PERV!” I called back giggling

I laughed, shaking my head before climbing into the shower. I sighed as the warm water fell over my body. I got lost in my own little world.

“Ivy would you hurry up? Breakfast in nearly ready. You have been in there for ages.” I heard Ryder’s voice moan, pulling me put of thought

“Jeeze. I am coming, stop you moaning.” I said annoyed, rolling my eyes

I turned the water off, my skin feeling cold quickly before stepping out of the shower. Ryder was still there and his eyes soon started trailing my naked body as soon as I appeared in front of him. I placed my hand on my hip, glaring at him but he never noticed he was too busy. I reached over grabbing one of the towels and throwing it at his face

“Stop perving on me.” I laughed

“Hmm.” Was all he said, his eyes finally meeting mine

His face was a little flushed and his eyes dark, his lower lip caught between his teeth. Oh My God he is thinking about me sexually.

“Dude it aint happening again, so don’t even think it.” I laughed

“How not?” he pouted, giving me his puppy dog eyes

“Cause we spoke about this Ryder.” I said

“I know I am only messing with you. Though you are sexy as fuck.” He winked, smirking before turning and walking away from me

I laughed, shaking my head before wrapping a towel around my body heading through to the bedroom, getting myself dressed before joining Ryder in the kitchen. He had made poached eggs, toast and bacon. I licked my lips, more hungry than I realised. Ryder laughed at me, knowing how much I loved my food. I ignored him before joining him at the table. A silence filled between as we ate, a comfortable one.

“Do you think our parents know that we are “together” now?” Ryder asked, looking up at me

“I don’t know. If so we would probably have heard from them by now.” I said shrugging

“Yeah that is true. I am surprised Ellie has not told them” he said

“I know. She usually does not know how to keep her big mouth shut.” I replied

“That is very true. I guess we will find out when we see everyone at this party. Do you need a new dress for it?” he asked

“That we will. Not sure, I have dresses at home but I may treat myself to a new one for it.” I replied

“Let me buy you a new dress? My way of saying thank you for pretending to be my girlfriend.” He smiled widely

“No it is OK. I will get my own dress.” I smiled

“No I insist. After breakfast I will get a quick shower then we can head to the shop. You know they have they vintage shops that you love.” He smiled

I went to protest but he gave me a stern look, making me agree to let him buy me a new dress.

********

“Ivy all of these dresses you have tried on have been perfect for you. I forgot how much of a pain in the ass you were when it comes to clothes.” Ryder laughed

We had been trying to find me a dress for the last couple of hours with no luck cause I was fussy and he was impatient. I must have tried ten dresses on already but none of them felt right.

“And I forgot how much I hate going shopping with you cause you have no patience.” I said sticking my tongue out at him

“Here try this one.” Ryder said, handing me a black dress

I rolled my eyes, taking it from him. It was my kind of dress but I like to annoy him when I can. I headed into the changing room, Ryder taking a seat outside. I stripped down, pulling the dress on. I turned, facing the mirror, looking at myself. I smiled as I did, the dress was perfect…it was so me. What can I say my best friend has good taste when it comes to clothes. I stepped out of the changing room

“What do you think?” I said

Ryder took his eyes away from his phone, looking up at me. He licked his lips, looking at me the same way he did in the bathroom earlier. He stood up, coming towards me, standing in front of me

“It is perfect. It is so you Ace. You look real good in it.” he said as he took a better look

When his eyes met mine again I felt my face blush which is something I do not do especially around Ryder but there was something about the way he was looking at me.

“Are you blushing?” he smirked

“What? No. Shut up.” I said turning away from him

He chuckled, stepping into me, placing his hands on my hip, making me look at him again

“Yes you are. I am making you blush.” He said smugly

“Whatever dude. Is this dress OK?” I asked

“Yes it looks great. Good way of changing the subject. Why you blushing? You never blushed when you were completely naked in front of me so why you blushing now?” he asked

“I dunno. You are looking at me strangely.” I said shrugging

“I am?” He asked surprised

“Yes.” I said giggling nervously

“Sorry. Never realised. Anyway you got your dress?” he asked

I nodded, turning away and heading back into the dressing room. I tried getting the dress off but was struggling. It was easy to go on so why is it hard to get off? I groaned annoyed before popping my head out the curtain

“Ryder can you give me a hand? I can’t get it off right?” I laughed

He nodded, making his way over, coming into the dressing room with me. He laughed when he seen the state of me trying to get it off

“Turn around. There is a small zipper at the back.” He laughed

“There is?” I asked surprised

I never even noticed it when I put it on. I turned my back to him, Ryder’s hand falling on the zipper, pulling it down and when he did the dress soon fell from my body, leaving me in nothing but my underwear. Ryder’s body was still close to mine, neither of us moving. I felt his fingertips trace my shoulder, my body shivering when he did. I looked over my shoulder at him, confused on what was going on. He caught my eye with his, looking back at me, his fingertips still tracing my skin, they had went from my shoulder to trailing now down my side. I swallowed hard, trying to keep myself together.

“W…w…what you doing?” I stuttered

“I don’t know.” He replied quickly pulling away from me “I will get you at the cash desk.” He added leaving the dressing room

I stood there, confused on what just happened. It was a moment that was confusing to me and to him by the look of things. I sighed, deciding to try forget about it. I was hoping whatever that was would not become a frequent thing between us cause if it does there is chance I will end up back in bed with him and we both agreed that should not happen…not again.
