Chapter 20

Jane considered it, clearly open to the idea. “Would anyone see us?”

“I doubt it. Besides isn’t that the point?” he convinced her.

Jane pretended to think it over, looking around to make sure she had all of her stuff. When she was prepared she yelled, “Last one there is on the bottom!” sprinting towards, the tree, ducking and disappearing.

“Shit!” he said, bolting after her.

Evan caught up to her near the door to the stairs. He slapped her cute naked butt as a distraction, Jane whipped around, but he jumped in the opposite direction. Coming up from behind, he lifted her up in his arms, spinning her around. When he put her back down, he faced her, shoving his tongue directly into her open mouth. Jane was lost in his playfulness, and unprepared for when he pulled away, opened the door and ran up the stairs.

“Unfair!” she yelled, louder than she meant to. Realizing she was still naked, with his cum dripping down her legs, she ran after him.

When she arrived in second place, he said, “Sorry, I really wanted to be on top this time.”

Two days after the newfound friends had had sex, multiple times, they managed to keep things the same. Every now and then, one would look at the other conspiratorially, as if they had gotten away with something. For the most part, they had become even closer, as friends. Evan figured that things were at the stage that they could even hang out at night without any expectations. He invited her over to his apartment after work to watch a movie and wind down.

Jane joked about it being a Netflix & chill scenario to which he said he had HBO so there would be no pressure. She almost didn’t catch his retort, when she was finished laughing, she gladly accepted the invite.

The two parted, as two friends that weren’t up to anything would, but it was still noticed by many pairs of eyes in the double digits inside the Lake House. Mostly, it was Lisa that was catching on to the subtle changes in their relationship. Not that she had an opinion about it; she was only curious whether they saw what was happening.

After they had both showered, Jane knocked on his door. Evan answered, wearing cargo shorts and a tank top. She had her hair in a ponytail, wearing extremely boyshorts and a slightly larger tank top. Her outfit looked liked it had shrunk in the wash so naturally he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

“Um, Hi,” she said, hiding her amusement.

“Hey, you look really cute,” he remarked, still checking her out.

“Down boy, these are just my sleep clothes. I wanted to be comfortable for our movie night,” she lied as she always slept in the nude.

Jane took a seat at the end of his couch, curling up immediately. She had felt like a little girl staying up late to watch a horror movie with her dad or brothers. It was a testament to how comfortable she felt around Evan and she used it to think of him like a brother, so she wouldn’t be tempted to treat him any other way. Evan turned off the lights and joined her on the opposite end of the couch. She glanced at him, realizing that he was trying to keep things PG, silently praising him for it.
