Chapter 12

Nate’s POV:

I turned and headed back into the house. She’d caught me looking her up and down. I’d actually blushed, me the guy who never blushed for a girl. Man I was whipped. The twins were sitting on the couch waiting for me to return. It seemed Stacy had told Tracy and I knew I was in for hell. I gulped as they both jumped up at the same time they saw me.

"Go Nate!" Stacy says and then giggles. She looks out the window then bits her lip. I frown looking out the window. Of course, it was Kyle and Derek.

"Dude why did you tell my sister and not me?" Tracy says punching my shoulder. I flinched because it had actually hurt a little. Damn she had a punch.

"What? You think I willingly told her?" I frowned thinking about that day. I shuddered almost regretting that day. I longed for Arianna now. Thanks a lot Tracy.

"Oh well that explains it then. Sorry I punched you" she pouts and then takes off jumping into Derek’s arms. I was thankfully they’d shown up otherwise the twins would have let me have it but I also wanted them to leave. I didn’t want them flaunting their relationship in front of me. I tried distracting myself by playing some COD and it worked for a little while until my brother rocked up with his girlfriend. It was like god was punishing me. Eventually they all left after explaining the whole camping situation for next weekend. Apparently my brother was coming too. Only thing to look forward to was Arianna, who should be going. I had to ask her too. I spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with Arianna in the mornings and then my brother in the evenings. For once we didn’t spend the weekend drinking or partying. I guess being whipped really affected you. My brother dragged on how good his girlfriend was and all that shit. I sat there thinking what stage Arianna and I were on. We were just friends, pfft yeah right. Friends don’t go around kissing each other. God, it turns my thoughts towards what she’d done this morning. I felt myself getting harder thinking about it. Casually covering it up I pulled a pillow there pretending to hug it. My brother looked at me weird but brushed it off.

Monday morning I was surprisingly early to school. I talked with Kyle for a bit and then she walked in. She was wearing super tight jeans and a shirt that showed so much cleavage. Instinct in me wanted to tell every guy in the room to look away and yell that she’s mine but I held back the urge. One guy tried chatting her up on her way here. My fist clenched as I watched them. She brushed him off easily and then smiled at me. I could have sworn it was a seductive smile. God, what was she doing? A smile hinted at my lips and she sat down saying hey to everyone else at the table.

"What are you doing after school?" I ask her and she raises her brows.

"Keen aren’t we?" she jokes and I smile.

"I was just asking" I say watching her laugh a little.

"I’m not doing anything. My sister is hanging with my mum unfortunately. I’m completely free to do anything" she waits for my reaction and I raise my brows. She bites her lip and it was sexy as hell.

"Wanna hang?" I ask her but Kyle shots daggers at me. Okay weren’t they the ones encouraging me to do this? Hmm, maybe they were joking? Oh no please don’t be joking.

"You can’t Nate" he cried and Derek was shooting daggers at me too.

"Um why not?" I ask them frowning. Okay what’s up with them?

"Football training after school" Derek says like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Oh shit yeah now I remember. Dang it and I was looking forward to seeing her.

"Oh can I watch?" I turn to look at her. She looked excited and actually blushed when I looked at her.

"Sure...if you really want to"

"Eww, yuck. Seeing guys run around sweating is disgusting" Kyle shrieks and Ri laughs.

"To you" she says and Kyle scoots closer to her, a playful look on his face. Oh god what was he gonna do?

"And who might you be watching? Anyone special reaching out to you? I mean look at the selection on the table" Kyle points to the guys spread out along the table talking to each other or the cheerleaders.

"Oh yeah definitely. Maybe the one with black hair," she says, looking towards the other guys. I frowned. There was no one down there with black hair. Derek snorted before continuing to eat his salad. Weird guy.

"Black hair eh? Fancy the green seductive eyes?" Kyle says looking back at her. Ri looks up at him smiling deviously.

"Maybe" she whispers almost scared to say it. I frown, trying to work out who it was. Before they talk more the bell rung. A few people groaned but we went our separate ways to start school. I walked with Kyle to the English block.

"Do you know who she was talking about?" I asked him and he looked at me shocked.

"Seriously Nate? Do you honestly have to ask?" he stops and pulls me to the doors out front of the building. They were the cool kind, where you can see your reflection instead of inside the building.

"What?" I asked him dumbfounded.

"She was talking about you, dumbass" he points to me in the reflection and I look frowning. I blink a few times a catch on. Ah shit man, I was the only one on the team with black hair and green eyes. God I was an idiot, how could I not pick up on that? I suppose she hadn’t even looked at me which had me convinced she was talking about someone else.

"Oh" was all I said.

"Honestly Nate, if you let her go your ass is mine. She’s a decent girl unlike the sluts who pry off you. Remember ass is mine!" he calls out running off to his English class. I walk slowly to mine thinking about it.

The day went by fast and before I knew it I was racing off to football practise. I was already ten minutes late because I stayed behind to talk to the teacher about the new stupid assignment. I quickly changed my clothes and raced onto the oval. I instantly spotted Ri talking to the cheerleaders. They all seemed interested in what she was saying. Coach yelled at me a bit before telling me to get my ass out there, and I quote his words too. Halfway through the practise, I kept looking at Ri. She was now sitting on the ground watching the clouds. I felt down that she wasn’t watching me but I wasn’t going to be arrogant about it. She’d watch me if she wanted too. I try to concentrate on the football practise game we were having but I couldn’t focus. Suddenly I had a break and scored. After a few good works from the guys I look over to Ri. She was watching me, quiet intently too. She hadn’t noticed I was watching her yet. Kyle noticed I was distracted and jumped in my face. I blinked a few times before watching laugh.

"My man here is so pussy whipped" he yells out to the guys and I groan shaking my head. A few of them gasped shocked but I told them it wasn’t true. Although the statement he had just made was so friggin' true. Practise finished and I made my way over to Ri and the cheerleaders. She wrapped up conversation with them and then gave me her completely attention to me. I smiled.

"You like what you saw Ri" Kyle yelled out and she blushed looking at Kyle. Kyle waved and smirked walking off. She looked at me waiting for my reaction. I held my hand out to help her up. She took it and I pulled her up. She lost her footing and fell into my chest. I didn’t falter at all nor did I move. She blinked looking up at me embarrassed. I liked it when she couldn’t keep her footing because she always seemed to land on me, not that I minded of course. Being pressed up against her wasn’t the best thing right now though. I could feel myself getting harder.

"Slow down there. You might knock me over next time" I said as she bends to pick up her bag. I got a perfect view of her ass. I groaned and she turned to walk beside me.

"Sorry" she says blushing like crazy. Man she was cute when she blushed. We drove back to my house. I quickly showered and came out to find her playing COD. She was addicted to it; she always played it whenever she came over. Not that I minded, bonding time. I sat down next to her and watched her play. Her eyes were glued to the screen and her fingers tapping the controller a little aggressively. When she won the game she relaxed and I laughed. It was then that she noticed I was sitting there.

"Holy shit Nate, don’t do that" he grumbled hitting my arm softly. I laughed and she handed me another controller.

"More like it" I said as the game began. She shook her head playfully and kicked my ass...several times too.

Eventually we shut the game off and made our way up to my room. I was lying on my bed watching the TV screen and Ri was sitting on the floor shifting through her magazine. Every so often my eyes would flick to her and then back to the screen. I think she noticed because she continued biting her lip and tilting her head thinking about something. I sighed when my show ended. She’d be going home soon, although I so didn’t want her too. Plus I still had to ask her about camping this weekend.

"Hey Ri?" I ask sitting up a little more. She turns to look at me; she was already biting her lip. I saw something in her eyes and then she blushed looking away a little. What was she thinking of?

"Yeah?"

"What are you doing this weekend?" I ask her, I was actually nervous. What if she said no? Oh god then the camping trip would be so boring.

"Not much. Got something planned?" she asks standing up. She throws her magazine onto the floor and fully turns to face me.

"Um...yeah, Stacy wanted me to invite you to her camping trip" I said looking in her eyes. She stared back intently. I could see a smile rise up and she let it peek through.

"Sure I’ll go. Just for one night, right?" she asks moving onto my bed. Instead of lying next to me she lays on top of me. My breathing picks up and my heart begins racing a mile. This time she straddles my stomach not my manhood.

"Ah I think so. You’ll have to ask Stacy for the details" I watch her to see what she was gonna do. She noticed because she smirked deviously.

"Okay...so cool if I stay the night?" she bends down so she’s just a couple of centimetres from my lips. I could feel her breath and I gulped.

"Um...s-sure. What about y-your sister?" I ask her as she kisses my jaw line. I actually stuttered over my words, god she was that good.

"She’s out for dinner, remember?" she pulls back and looks at me. I immediately pout my lips because I didn’t want her to stop. She tries to stop herself from smiling but fails.

"Oh yeah I forgot" I say just as she bends and trails kisses along my neck down to my chest and back up. She had my blood racing and my manhood was at full attention. I closed my eyes because it was becoming unbearable and she wasn’t doing much. She finally made her way to my lips and I growled consuming her. She smiled against my lips. I knew she had another trick up her sleeve, I knew what she was trying to do. And my god if she wasn’t ready damn I’d take her. Just then the bet popped up in my head. Oh shit. I had completely forgotten about it. What would she do if she found out? Hopefully she wouldn’t. I decided I was happy losing, because for me winning would mean losing her because she’d most definitely find out. I most certainly didn’t want to lose her, not this far along. I was completely gone and wrapped around her finger. She pulls back for breath and looks at me curiously.

"It’s not going to work" I say through my haggard breaths. Her body slumps a little but she smiles weakly. I shake my head smiling big.

"I wasn’t trying anything" she says trying to brush it off. She was blushing a little. It was cute.

"Whatever you say" she seemed to blush deeper so I pulled her back down to me. She came willingly. We stayed like that for a while until I decided I wanted to have control. I rolled over and she pulled back to look at me. Her face was pure lust and it was making it hard to stick to my decision.

"Why do we have to wait?" she asked as I trailed my kiss down her neck to her chest.

"Because I want it to be right" I mumbled against her skin. Her hands went into my hair and she stifled a moan. She pulled me back to her lips and I tried pressing myself to every inch of her without putting any weight on her. Eventually though I decided we seriously needed to stop otherwise I would just go ahead and not stop, not that she would mind but I would later on. I pulled away from her and lay on my back. She whimpered and I pulled her to me. She laid her head on my chest and it was a perfect moment. Just laying here with her was perfect. I looked at her. She had her eyes closed ready for sleep although she clearly didn’t want to sleep. I fell asleep watching her. She was a perfect beauty in my eyes. It reminded me of our art assignment. Hmm I think I was going to draw her, but I fell asleep too quickly to think about it more. The dream was about her and it was so real, I wanted it to be but it wasn’t, sadly.

When I woke my arms were wrapped tightly around her figure. She was lying completely on top of me and she was snoring quietly. I yawned once and realised it was ten am. Shit, we were supposed to be at school. Oh damn screw it now. I didn’t want to wake her because she looked peaceful. I sat there for a little while trying to calm myself down and breathe properly. After twenty minutes she woke. Her eyes slowly opened and lifted her head slightly. She looked at me and blushed a little. I smiled, cute.

"Morning" I say and she rolls off me. I instantly wanted to pull her back but I restrained from doing so.

"Morning...what’s the time?" she asks frowning as her hand rested on my chest. I don’t think she realised otherwise she would have blushed madly.

"About ten thirty" I say after glancing at the clock. Her eyes widen.

"School?" was all she said and I smiled shrugging.

"Doesn’t matter, we can stay home if you want?" I ask her and she nods moving closer to me. Oh no, don’t even think about it Ri.

"What time did we have to bed?" she asks furrowing her brows.

"I have no idea"

"Hmm, so what do you want to do today?"

"I have no idea"

"You sound like a robot" she giggles and I smile.

"I have no idea" was all I said and she sat up looking at me with raised eyebrows.

"What?" I ask her.

"So he does speak normally?"

"Of course he does"

"Well that’s nice, but does he really like to talk?" She looked at me curiously, and I pondered my answer for a minute. I knew that when she was in the equation I’d much rather not talk so that was my answer but I wanted to mess with her a little.

"Talking is a need you know, so of course I do" I say smiling at her reaction. She furrows her brows and pouts a little.

"Yeah a need, of course. You’re a typical guy Nate"

"Typical guy?"

"Yeah you know you expect them to do this and that. You know them before you really know them"

"So you know me huh?"

"Inside out" she smirks "Okay then, what’s my favourite colour?"

"Blue" she says and I smile. It was, ever since I met her it was. Her beautiful striking blue eyes were the most amazing colour.

"Favourite food?"

"Desert?"

"Breakfast"

"Nothing, you eat my breakfast so what’s the difference?"

"True, lunch?"

"Ham and egg sandwich"

"Dinner?"

"Chicken fillets" she asked frowning as she thought about it. So she had been paying attention during all those conversations.

"Desert?"

"My favourite desert of course" she says proudly and it was. Ever since she gave me some I was hooked on it.

"Favourite item I like the most?" I ask her frowning from the stupid question.

"Your manhood" she giggles and I roll my eyes.

"Yeah Ri, totally"

"See I knew it" she laughs harder her body vibrates against mine making me harder.

"No, seriously now? Favourite item I like most?"

"Um...yeah, see I can’t think of anything else except your manhood," she says and then her eyes widen at what she just said. If someone had walked in and heard just that they would be questioning her seriously, of course she did. I laugh and she smacks my arm.

"Not funny Nate, you know what I mean" she says trying to be angry but she looked more like cute.

"Sorry but I mean you said it so I’m just rolling with them flow"

"Whatever. My turn" she claimed moving a little to get a better view of my face.

"Shoot" I say knowing I’d answer every question correctly.

"Favourite colour?"

"Green" she blushes as I say it and I frown. Huh?

"Favourite food? Breakfast"

"Hash browns because they make me greasy and inviting" I say and she laughs blushing.

"Lunch?"

"So it’s true? And it’s mashed potato which isn’t right Ri; you can have that for dinner as well"

"Yeah but still it’s a good lunch thing okay?"

"Hmm next question?"

"Dinner?"

"Anything worth eating which must I ask should I be hiding at dinner time now?" she says and blushes deeper. Oh boy this was fun. She hit my arm again smiling crazy.

"Whatever. My favourite item I like the most?" she asks and I smile deviously, I wonder how bad she’s going to blush?

"My manhood"

"Nate!" she shrieks hiding her face from me. I laugh but pull her closer to me. She keeps her face hidden.

"Sorry but you said it before so I was just telling the truth, besides you didn’t seem to mind" I say and she shakes her head smiling against me.

"Still not fair" she grumbles. I pull her face back up to mine and she smiles wickedly. She pounds onto me and for a second there I almost lose all my control but I slowly grip it back. She moves so she’s straddling me and she pushed against my manhood.

"Oh god" I just let it slip and she smiled trailing kissing along my jaw. This wasn’t fair. She was using it against me because she knew it affected me most.

"Ri..." was all I could say before she kissed me again. I think I got a little too carried away because after ten minutes her shirt was gone. She was staring down at me lustfully. I didn’t want to give in, hell yes I did but I didn’t want us to regret anything later on.

"Please don’t Ri" I warned as she kissed me so more. Getting carried away so more I finally had to stop. The urge in me to keep going wasn’t stopping at all, I just wanted to keep going and going. She looked at me and huffed, she knew I wasn’t giving in. She stood up and turned to look at me.

"One day you’ll give in" she says smirking. I shake my head, implying I have good self-control, unlike her; she was willing to go so far. I sat up as she pulled on her t-shirt.

"I suppose we should get you home" I say and she shakes her head. Okay what did she have planned?

"Nah I think I want to hang out today"

"With who?"

"The guy from the football team. Finally work out who it was Nate?" she teased moving to the doorway. I grinned shaking my head playfully.

"Well then I guess I’ll just go hang with him then" she walks out the door.

"But he’s in here" I yelled out to her, what was she doing?

"I know, I never said I was going willingly, you’re gonna have to try harder than that" she says watching me move out my door. She was in the middle of the staircase.

"Ri, you just almost gave yourself to me"

"Different circumstances" she says laughing as she finishes off the stairs. I shake my head smiling as I follow her. We were in for one hell of a day and I was excited. Maybe a little too excited.
