Kai and River are killing some moves on the dance floor, Nigel is still sucking a girl's face off and Kole is just lightly talking with a girl.
Kai and River met us hereafter they dropped Neferankh with Nova, I guess her and Layla are going to have lots of fake shooting with Layla's toy guns in the night and multiple failed forts for cover.
I sigh and play with my nails, crossing my legs and waiting anxiously for Austin to be back from wherever he went to. He said he needed some air and I couldn't say no since I know that this isn't what he'd usually do, and he also wanted to take an important call.
"Hey baby girl, what are you doing over there by yourself?" Some guy with really bad breath asks me, getting all in my bubble.
"Waiting for someone that's not you!" I reply sassily and he chuckles.
"I like them feisty you know, come on, let's go have some fun." He slurs and reaches for my hand but someone's all too familiar hand grabs his.
"The only fun she'll be having is when I knock out your teeth for even trying to touch my girl."
Say what?
The guy looks like he could piss himself and backs off, casting me one last glance before scurrying away. I look up at the bluer ocean eyes and I could feel myself turning into a puddle under his gaze.
"Your girl huh? I thought I'd have a choice in that when you popped the question buy I see you jump straight to conclusions." I tease and he told his eyes, lifting me off the chair by my waist and removing me before planting himself there and grabbing my hips to pull me into his lap.
"Hmm, I guess this is my new favorite position now." I feel myself getting hot and I bow my head causing him to chuckle, he turns me around on his lap, making me straddle him.
He smiles, his tongue darting out to lick his lips. "You know my favorite is the brown eye, it reminds me of nature." He says and I furrow my brows.
"Isn't green the color of nature?" He smiles and leans in.
"Brown birthed green, you create everything wonderful! And it reminds me of chocolate." He says and I smile, leaning in until my chest plant firmly against his, his thumb runs along the skin of my waist, his other thumb tracing my lips slowly.
His hands reach up to my hair and he tugs it out of the scrunchie, admiring it against his wrist as he slides it down his fist. He turns his eyes back to me, his hand going back into my hair, I rest my head against his shoulder, sighing in content as his warm hand rubs my waist, his other hand playing with my hair.
It almost feels like we're in a room with no one, just us being us. The way he holds me is like there's no one else to witness it. With my eyes closed, the only things I can hear are the beating of my heart and his breathing against my shoulder.
When I open my eyes, the music rushes back to me, hitting me like a gust of wind in the desert. I tense again and he seems to notice since he stops rubbing my skin. He stands up, still with me in his arms like my dad used to carry me when I was seven.
I wrap my legs around his waist and hide my face in the crook of his neck. He walks up to Kole, since River and Kai are getting it on, and tells them that we're leaving.
Kole chuckles and ruffles my hair causing me to smile, this little six hours spent together has brought us I mean, he's the only one whose high isn't too high for me, ya feel me?
Oh, wait that rhymed!
He starts walking again and I reach my hand into his hair, playing with the long ends. His hands tighten on my waist, before one leaf and I hear the car door opening.
Soon enough, he placed me softly into my seat, and still with my eyes closed, I feel his soft lips pecking my head. I smile and peek one eye open, watching as his eyes widen.
"You're a hopeless romantic Henderson," I say and he rolls his eyes but his lips tug into a smile. I chuckle lightly and watch as he closes the door, then walks to his side and opens the door. He looks back to the club like someone called him but shakes his head and enters, settling with a grunt in his seat.
I start playing with my hands to stop myself from touching his face, he looks so concentrated on the road as he begins to drive, his jaw working from thinking about something.
"You know staring is rude?" He says and glances at me for a second before looking back to the road. I chuckle and turn so I'm lying but facing him still.
"I don't think it's rude if you're enjoying me eye-raping you." He laughs and shakes his head, slowing down when we reach a red light. He looks at me and licks his lips, his brows furrowed in thought.
"How did you know I wanted you to stare at me? For all you know, I have a thing for the toad Layla trapped in our backyard once." He starts driving and I burst out into bubbles of bubbly laughter.
Bubbly! That's a funny word, it makes me laugh harder.
The car comes to a slow stop after some time and I look up to see that we're outside his condo.
He looks at me and outside but makes no move to leave the car. I smile and roll my eyes at him, opening the door and stepping down. It's not always cold here in San Diego but lately, it's been feeling a little chilly, and I don't watch the news or care to know if it might snow. I wrap my hands around myself that I wore jeans and a jacket. The door opens and shuts then I feel Austin's warmth from behind me.
He wraps his arms around me and walks me to the front door, pulling out the keys and shoving it into the keyhole. He pushes the door open and rests his jaw on my head, causing me to laugh.
He locks the door and grabs my waist, lifting me from the ground. I wrap my legs around him, smiling at his jaw. I know I'm a creep, but one look at this guy and your obsession cup overflow. He reaches the top of the stairs and walks to his room, kicking open the door. He slowly lets me down onto his bed and I lay down, spreading my hands and legs out and faking sleep. He nudges me but I don't let him know I'm awake.
He gets down on the bed, hovering above me with his arms as support, studying my face for some time before he leans down and starts slowly planting soft kisses everywhere on my face.
I try to hold back the smile that's threatening to split my face apart and just let him. His kisses leave my cheek and he goes to my ear love, tugging at it with a softness that sends a rush of sparks down my spine, causing goosebumps to appear.
He sucks on my skin, his hands dancing across my waist and moving up slowly, before the fingers become harder and faster causing me to jerk up, laughing and swatting at his arms; spluttering.
He laughs and pins my hands above my head, staring right into my eyes with pure amusement. My heavy breathing starts to even out as I stare into his eyes. He rolls over me, resting his back against the headboard, pulling me to him.
He's like a child in need of a lot of physical contacts, I love it.
His hands start to okay with my hair as I relax into his chest. "What can we do to while away time? Because someone thought it was a good idea to tickle the sleep out of my future." I grumble and he laughs.
"I know a lot of things we can do..." He trails off, brushing his nose against the skin of my neck. I grab his hand and squeeze it, "No, we're not doing whatever you're thinking! We could just sing nursery rhymes." I say and he turns my face to look at him.
"So you can sleep? No way! You're gonna help me fall asleep, and I guess I had enough energy drinks to keep me awake for the whole night and it's your job to make me sleep." He says and I smack his chest.
"I didn't sign up for this," I grumble and reach for the pillow. He rolls his eyes and hands it to me.
"Okay, c'mere," I say and rearrange us, so I put his head on my lap. He doesn't complain and I know the stupid grin on his face tells me it's going to take a long time to get him to fall asleep.
"So, what should we do?" I ask him and he shrugs. I groan and rub my cheeks.
"How about twenty questions?" I ask and he makes a face.
"To cliché!" I glare at his head and look up back in thought.
"Um, never have I ever?" I suggest again and he shakes his head.
"Family talk?" I ask when I don't have anything else to say. What? Give me a break! I'm half asleep here and this goof here isn't helping me.
"April, are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?" He asks and I look down to see that he has a stupid smirk on his face. My brows furrow in confusion.
Suggesting what? I just said family talk. What could I be- Oh My God!
I grab the pillow and smack his face. He erupts laughing and I cross my arms, glaring at his head.
"Oh come on, you know I didn't mean to tease you, come on babe, please talk to me." He says and grabs my hands in his comically large ones. I turn my head away from him, a frown still perched on my forehead.
He slowly raises my hands, causing me to watch him from the corner of my eyes. He brushes his lips against my knuckles in a soft kiss, a jolt of electricity shooting up my arms.
l slowly look at him, seeing that his eyes are closed. His warm lips still planted on my hand, I sigh and his blues shoot open.
Caught red-handed.
Well, caught Austin handed.
He smiles and rests his head back into my lap. I awkwardly clear my throat, taking my hand back from him.
"Okay, let's just tell each other about our most embarrassing moments, you go, and there's no way I'm changing this," I say and he smiles.
"My number one embarrassing moment was when I was sixteen, I went to the café with Kai and I didn't know I had red dye on my white pants, on my... area, and so I walk into the café and everyone pauses and stares at us and I think it's because of Kai since she is a world-famous boxer and when I go to our seats, Kai looks extremely calm and I don't even suspect anything. I call the waitress and she walks up to us, her eyes kept looking down at my pants and I found it creepy but I refused to look down, so I glanced at Kai and she looked like she was about to explode, then I hear the waitress ask, 'Sir, are you on your period?' and when I glance down, I see I have a thick red stain on my pants. I ended up puking in the waitress."
By the end of his story, I'm clutching my sides with laughter, he groans and hides his face in the bed. "You aren't supposed to laugh." He grumbles and peeks at me making me laugh again.
"Oh my God! Austin finally had his period! You hit puberty!" I gasp and start laughing again. He rolls his eyes and grabs my arm, pulling me to him.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. That's enough, now you tell me yours." He says and I stop laughing slowly but my cheeks are still burning and my stomach is still aching.
"Well, mine was when I went to a party with everyone, the twins, June and May, and some of my other classmates, somehow, I ended up in a game of T or D, and I was dared to get a tattoo. My first ever tattoo was a mistake you see. Everyone at the game followed me to get the tattoo, so I told the tattoo artist to write 'Bad decisions make good memories' I cried throughout the whole period and it was recorded and posted on Instagram and I was tagged!" I say and he chuckles, closing his eyes and then bursting out, laughing.
"Stop it!"
°•°•°|°•°•°
I groan in the chair, looking at Mia and Chase. "When are they going to get here? I'm sick of waiting." I grumble and Mia rolls her eyes. She should be careful, I might just decide to kill her one day for keeping Austin's feelings about me from me, I mean, it's my business, I deserve to know!
"Relax, Ap, they'll be here in about thirty minutes," Chase says and I groan louder.
"Hey, where's Ethan and my food, I might just go on a killing rampage and end everyone here before he gets back because he had to walk up the stairs carefully." I sneer and Chase rolls his eyes.
"Chill Angry bird, I'm here with your food. Mom packed it herself because she knows what you can do." He says and holds out the bag to me. I snatch it from his hand and peel it open, smiling happily as I see the lack of fried plantains.
"Bless your soul mother!" I say and start munching on the food.
"That time of the month huh?" Ethan asks Mia and she kicks his shin. Okay, maybe I might not kill her.
"Macy said I should ask you if you're gonna be taking Fayette out tonight," Ethan says and looks at Chase who smiles and nods.
"Well then, you better get back because she's having a new guy, I guess she's getting close to forgetting again." He says and I see the pain in his eyes. He looks down and stands up abruptly, placing a kiss on my forehead and leaving the airport.
Awn, poor Chase. If Fayette forgets, I know it's going to be a lot of stress for him again.
I sigh and throw another slice of plantain into my mouth, watching the people going up on the escalator.
"Oh, they're here!" Ethan says in excitement and I look up, seeing the four of them walking down the steps. Lola hand in hand with Strom, Temi running towards us with June and May, looking behind us with a surprised and lovely look on her face.
She drops all her bags and rushes down the stairs, not pausing on the escalator and she rushes past us, causing me to turn around with the dish in my hand.
She jumps into someone, wrapping her legs around his waist and smashing her lips against his. My eyes widen at the innocent one and I hear Temi and Lola and June and Storm halting behind me, watching the scene unfold.
When they pull apart, May is laughing and the guy is spinning her around. She slides down and looks at him, a stupid Ike on the guy's face and I frown when their smile looks familiar.
"May!" June calls out in surprise and they both look up, May turning around and widening her eyes. But I don't think it could have gotten wider than mine when I shout his name.
"Devin!"
