second until I realize we have never actually kissed; we’ve done everything but that.
“How come you don’t kiss me?” I get a case of word vomit as I lay on top of him.
“It’s intimate! You’re not meant to just kiss. You only kiss the ones you love, the one person you want to see day in and day out. So, I don’t kiss the girls I’m with because they’re nothing more than a one-night stand. I don’t want to kiss them day in and day out.”
“Tanner kissed me,” more word vomit comes flying out of my mouth before my brain engages. His face scrunches, but he doesn’t move me. I don’t mention that we’ve had more than a one-night stand.
“And I plan to give him a black eye for that,” he says smugly, but I can hear a slightly irritated tone to his voice.
“Did you like it?” he asks, surprising me. I lay my head on his chest and listen to his breathing.
“I’m not sure. It was nice, just not what I thought it would be,” I tell him honestly. He’s calmed me down and made my erratic heart slow and forced down the angry.
“He shouldn’t have kissed you,” he grumbles, his hands coming up to land on my ass.
“Why does it bother you?”
“It doesn’t,” he states, then breathes out heavily. “Okay, that was a lie. It does. He knows we’re fucking and he only wants you now that you're happy,” he tells me like he knows all the answers.
“Who says I'm happy?” I smile into his chest because he’s right. I've never smiled as much as I do when I'm with him.
“This makes you happy,” he says, thrusting into me. I laugh and try to get off of him, but he grabs my ass and squeezes hard. “I’m horny, let's have sex,” he says, pushing his hard cock into my now wet pussy.
“That’s all you think about. You just ruined our moment,” I say, trying to stifle a laugh.
“Your pussy is like a socket. Every time I put my cock in you, it's electrifying.”
“That's the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.” But I laugh along with him.
“Okay, what about letting me play with the Smurfette’s hidey hole?” he toys with me.
“You’re a moron, you know that, right? Like, seriously? Who comes up with this shit?”
“My cock,” he laughs.
“What are your plans after school?” I ask, wanting to know where he’s going.
“I've been drafted, I start with the ‘Crushes’ in two months.” I know that team; it’s one of the best. They’ll be lucky to have Kyrone on their team. “What about you?” he asks, firing my same question back at me.
“I'm off to New York,” I tell him and I look up to see he’s watching me intently. His face drops and I'm not quite sure why.
“You don’t want to stay in Texas?”
I shake my head and his eyes seek me out even more.
“So, I lose the best sex I’ve ever had,” he sulks, putting his bottom lip out. I laugh and roll to the side so I can see the stars. I kick my shoes off and plant my feet in the grass.
“Will you stay with me tonight?” he asks after a moment of silence.
“Yes,” I reply, and I don’t know why. I shouldn’t be getting attached. Our lives are on different tracks after this month. We both will be going our separate ways.
“Come on, let's go, I'm horny,” he says standing up then reaching down to lift me and grabbing my shoes.
“Why must you carry me everywhere?”
“‘Cause you’re so tiny, it's impossible not to carry you,” he tells me while walking to the car.
“Are you going to come to our last game next week?” Kyrone asks as we drive back to his house.
“No, I don’t like sports. I haven’t gone to a game yet, even when Tanner begged me to.”
“Please? I have tickets and my parents can't make it. I need someone cheering me on,” he begs me.
“I'm sure you don’t have a problem in that department, Ky. Pick a girl and ask her to cheer.”
“I do, though. You see, I want you there.”
“And I told you, no.” I'm not changing my mind, I am not going.
“Well fine, you better
