Once I walked out of the school building, I saw only Uche and Kim waiting for me."Where's Nick?" I asked as I joined them.
"He just left. His mum had him bring her some files from home to her office urgently." Uche explained and put his phone in his pocket when I started walking next to him.
"So why did Kim wait with you?" I asked and got a raised brows reaction from Kim.
"So you're okay with Uche waiting for you and not me?" He stopped to ask me, a slight tone of anger in his voice.
"Well, yeah," I shrugged and saw Uche try his very best not to laugh at my reply.
"Yo, Uche, Nick knows you fucking his sister? I saw the way you held her today in art class. And I've been seeing you two." Kim made an attempt to get at Uche.
"No, not yet. I plan to let him know later today, but if you reach him first, do mention," Uche licked his lips when he replied Kim. Kim's eyes widened. I'm sure he didn't expect that answer.
"Are you for real? You really fucking Julie?" Kim whispered to his friend, seriousness in his tone, and I just wondered what made him think I wouldn't hear his whisper when he was standing close to me as he was to Uche.
"Can we go now?" I asked out loud, tired of their conversation.
"I don't know, am I?" Uche replied Kim's question with a snort before putting his right arm around me for us to leave.
I turned my neck back briefly and saw Kim standing and watching us leave, still not wanting to believe what Uche gave him an idea of–our relationship.
"Did you really have to do that?" I giggled when he kissed my cheek.
"Nah, serves him right. He's always talking 'bout some nasty shit he wants to do to you. Felt good to let him know that won't be happening." I looked at the side view of his face while he spoke. He looked so happy to have let Kim know we were dating.
"What kinda nasty things does he say?" I got interested.
"Oh, you don't wanna know."
"Okay." I decided I didn't wanna know."It won't hurt to do them with you though." I found confidence to say and waited for his reaction.
Uche chortled over it at first, but then he stopped walking and turned to me."Are you serious?" Oh, the curiousity that shone in his eyes when he asked.
I decided to play it cool and just shrug,"I mean..." I trailed, hoping he continued the topic.
"The type you read in your books?" He smiled while he asked and I felt that tingle In me again. And then, the embarrassing part. My face instantly turned read.
"What kind of things do you think I read?" I laughed nervously and gently pushed him away so I could escape. I really thought I could handle getting naughty with him but I guess I couldn't. I felt too nervous. Too anxious.
Uche predicted what I wanted to do so he hurried and caught up with me."I don't know, porn on paper?"
"O my God," I covered my face when he said that without whispering. Did he realize we were on the road."That's not what it's called, and you know that." I laughed."It's called smut, okay?"
"Yeah, smut, literally porn on paper, the only difference is that the characters share emotions and passion."
"That's what you think?" I could argue his take on smutty books."Have you even read any spicy books?"
"Yes." His answer was simple. He took my hand in his while we continued home.
"Which?" I asked because I thought he was lying.
"The one you recommended to me some days ago." He replied and made me instantly cover my mouth with my free hand when I realized.
I had asked him to read it so we could talk about it, and I totally forgot."Did you read it?" I bit my lips. Now, I couldn't blame him for calling it porn on paper.
"Every page."
"Oh shit," I muttered and heard him laugh.
"You see?" He proved his point.
"That book is different. Not all the books I read are like that, and I didn't really think you were gonna read it." I confessed.
"Well, I did. My first spicy romance. Wasn't as bad as I imagined it. I usually read sci-fi and shit."
"So you liked it?" I smiled happily, he liked a book I recommended.
"Ye–" He pulled me out of the way when some dogs were dashing in my direction. I hadn't even seen them. I was so lost in his presence.
"Sorry," the person babysitting the dogs rans after them and apologized when she walked past us.
"Thanks," I smiled at him and he threw a kiss at me."I want a real one." I pouted my lips in front of him and got a peck on the lips from him. First once, then came another one, and soon it became multiple. I giggled after he was done. If felt good.
We got to our block. I followed him into his house. When he shut the door after me, he left the keys on the cabinet by the door and went to the fridge.
"You thirsty?" He asked and I nodded. He returned to me with a glass of juice. I took it and drank half the glass before leaving it on the dining table.
He started up the stairs leading to his room so I followed. I sat on the comfy bed and watched him dropped his school bag. Next, he took of his shirt without warning.
My heart missed a beat. I bit my lips almost subconsciously. Uche's body was beautiful. His joggers stopping at his lower waist made it more appealing. I swallowed.
"You wanna shower?" He asked me but my stunned ass didn't reply immediately. I wanted to ask if he wanted me to shower with him or after him or before him, but my tongue was tied.
"Babe," he called when I didn't answer.
"Yeah," I blinked.
"Do you wanna shower with me?" He made his question more precise and my throat went dry.
'Just say yes, Julie. Just fucking say yes. All you have to say is yes. You brought it up like Casey suggested, you gave a hint, he's taken it. And now he's been direct, you have to be too. This is what you want, it's right in front of you, embrace it.' My thoughts were echoing in my head.
Saying Yes couldn't be that hard. I just have to move my lips and use my tongue like a normal person does.
"I don't have clothes to change into if I..." I paused to scratch my head stupidly."I don't..." I was basically stuttering at that point.
What the fuck is wrong with me? Why did I say that?! Shit. Think of something, Julie. Think of something.
"But I guess I can wear something of yours..." I breathed out. Yes! That was a better response.
"Okay," Uche chuckled and rubbed on the back of his neck. He seemed as ervous as I was. It was hard to ascertain."Join me." He winked and disappeared into the bathroom.
