I didn't realize ice skating wasn't easy. I'd watched Yuri on ice and he just glided on the ice so effortlessly that I thought that it wouldn't be that hard to at least walk on the ice.
"Vee, come on. I'll hold your hand" Shawn says as he glides easily on the ice.
"I don't want any help" I say because I don't like admitting I can't do something. I slip and almost fall. "god, please help me" I whisper softly
"I'll help you, come here babe" he says and I walk shakily into his arms. he wraps his arms around my waist and holds me up. "you could have told me you couldn't skate"
"I didn't want to... " I whined. I slip again and he held me tighter. "thanks"
"you're so pretty" he whispers and pulls away from me. "okay, I'll teach you but can you please be careful. I don't need your mom killing me for hurting her son on the first date"
"fine" I try twist and wiggle out of his arms but he isn't budging. "Shawn"
"let's do it like this" he say and I blush with the way he says 'do it'. "you have such a dirty mind" I whispers in my ear and let's out a husky laugh.
"i... you... you're too... close" I stutter out and playfully push him away, losing my balance and falling on my ass. "ow" I whimper and look up at him towering over me. "are you just gonna stand there or are you going to help your boyfriend get up?"
"nah. i like how you're under me" he say and I choke on my saliva.
"stop with the sexual jokes" I whisper.
"you're the one making it sexual" he gives me a hand. "come on, let's go. you're beyond hopeless with skating"
"I am not!!!" I yell, not taking the hand he offers to me.
"says the guy laying on his ass. come on, get up. let's go get ice cream and make out in the car" he says and I am ashamed to say I was up in a millisecond and it was definitely because of the ice cream, yeah, definitely the ice cream. "that was fast"
"no it wasn't" I tell him back just to let him Know it was all for the ice cream.
"okay, it wasn't" he agrees instantly. I smile because he smiles. "come on let's head out" he takes my hand in his and hooks our arm. "hold on to me before you fall and break something"
I hold on to him because I think I broke my ass and I don't want to hurt myself anymore.
Caleb's point of view.
"... and daddy says he's going to get me a car next week, we can drive out into the wood and go see the sunset. but daddy also has a yatch, so we can go on the water and go on to the island not too far from here. but daddy... but daddy... but Daddy... " that was as much as I could listen to.
for the past two days, I had to listen to Mila, go but daddy this, but daddy that. she never fucking shuts up and it pisses me off. I really want to tell her to shut up but I can't because she's a snake. a sly bitch.
"Mila-"
"I told you to call me Mimi" she interrupts me and says
I take a deep breath. "... Mimi... I think we should end the date here, I kinda have something I need to do for my dad" I'm careful to not say dads around her because Mimi is way too talkative for her own good, every secret she's told eventually gets out and I'm not willing to let this get out.
"oh.. don't you like me?" she asks, offended
"no.. it's not that, you're just... " I'm at a loss for word.
"noisy, mean, bratty, rude... "
"no, you aren't-" she slams her hand on the table cutting me off again.
"I won't let you dump me because you can't handle me. Drop me off at my house and get lost, Keller" she says and she sounds pissed. "get the fuck up, Keller and take me home"
"yes, ma'am" I say and get up. I reached for the car keys but Mila... I mean Mimi, gets it before I can.
"I. Drive" she says and walks away before I could even get a word out. welp, fine by me.
I get out my phone as I walk to the car, I'm scrolling up and down through my contacts, looking for something to do before another girl takes over my life tommorow.
the old seniors who graduated before me, always made the game sounds like absolute fun.
'you'll get so much pussy'
'all the girls will love you'
'it'll be awesome'
it isn't as fun as all of them made it seem. it's all about the girls, the messy fights and the dumb break ups and the fucking meaningless sex. All the teenage angst.
I scroll to the bottom of my contacts and Xavier's name is the last on the list. I click on his name as I get into the car. I text Xavier a simple "hey"
"hey, Cal" he texts back a minute later.
"I'm kinda free right now, do you wanna go somewhere" I text back.
"who are you texting?" Mila asks. I look up from my phone. Mila has her eyes on the road and her perfectly manicured nail are clicking on the steering wheel.
"a friend" my phone pings and I look away from her and back to my phone.
"I'm kind of on a date with my boyfriend" he texts back and I just stare at the screen. he has a boyfriend!.
"what's wrong with you?" Mila asks
"nothing" I say.
"you look pissed dude" she say and I turn to look at her. "I'm a bitch but I'm also a daddy's girl. there's
this face I make when I don't get what I want, you're making it."
"could you mind your own damn business, Mila?!" I snap.
"it's Mimi!!!" she yells and frowns. I realize I just yelled at someone who was just checking on me because she was worried about me. "look i-" the car comes to an abrupt stop.
"look, I'm home. yay. I'm leaving" she says in the most sarcastic voice I've ever heard. she gets out of the car.
"Mila, wait up" I as as I get out and run after.
"it's Mim!!" she turns around and screams it at me. "you are an asshole, Keller. everyone call me a bitch, they call me a bad person but you're an asshole"
"but-"
"no, you fucking idiot. I've dreamt of going on a date with you since you started at our, I've had the most stupid crush on you for so long and I finally get to go on a date with you and all you do is fucking ignore me!!!!" I'd never seen her this pissed before and I have seen her pissed a lot of times. "I like you!!!, I've liked you for so long, you dick" she pokes me in the chest with her finger.
"you like me?" I ask because what else do I say. her face turns read.
"yeah, I do" she says and she kisses me. I kiss back because she beautiful. we kiss in the doorway for a few minutes before she says. "daddy isn't home, you wanna come upstairs?"
I do.
an hour later when where both slick with sweat, her laying beside me, satiated and satisfied, my head is swimming with one thing only. 'Xavier has a boyfriend'
fuck. what the hell did I just do?
