Instead of trying to give my second dose of payback, I study Nick for a long moment.
'He's so hard to read and much larger than me. He could probably snap me like a twig if he wanted to. So why does he allow himself to be in this position?? Before this year, I had never kept in touch with him at all! Hmm, so- '
"...why does he let me hold him like this..." I accidentally finish my thought aloud and slap both hands on my mouth.
'I SAID THAT OUT LOUD??' I think frantically.
Suddenly, in one full motion, Nick swoops his legs around my back, pulling himself up into a sitting position while my back lays on his lap.
He gently pushes my body off so that only my head is on his lap.
Not knowing exactly what just happened I try to sit back up, but Nick takes both my wrists in his hands.
"U-um, what're you-"
"Hehe, you seem to like being held like this." Nick smirks.
"No I-" I turn my face away and make strong eye contact with a wall.
I glance back only to see Nick take his shirt off. My eyes widen and I swiftly roll over.
"Woah, where do you think you're going? Is someone shyyy?" Nick says. I can almost feel him smirking at me again.
I roll over on my other side and the first thing I see is Nick's abs.
'WOAH OKAY LETS NOT LOOK THERE.' I think as I try to roll back over. A firm hand on stomach stops me and pulls my body close to Nick's.
Then Nick's other hand pulls my face into his stomach.
I try to object but all that comes out is, "Mm, mmh."
Nick's stomach flexes. "Haha, it does tickle."
Flustered and unable to see anything, I fidget with my hands. 'I was not expecting this at all. I never should've let those words slip out of my mouth. Better not move or else I'll end up in an even more embarressing situation.'
I exhale and feel Nick's stomach tense up again. Suddenly feeling vengeful, I lightly press my tongue against it.
'WAIT. CRAP. I SHOULD'VE REMEMBE-' Before I can finish that thought Nick lays back--- swooping me on top on him and looks at me mischievously.
"If you wanted to kiss me, you should've just said so." And with that he kisses me, squeezing my waist so tight that I almost can't breathe.
I catch my breath as he roughly starts to lick my neck, every so often hitting one of the hickeys. I yelp; my breathing gets heavy. It hurts much more than when he licked one of them earlier.
He rolls me over on my back and looks me dead in the eyes.
"I've loved you for a long time, y'know."
"W-what?" I say.
"I've been waiting for you ever since we met that day."
Slowly he lays down his head on my chest, letting the rest of his body weight fall on me.
