It’s been a week since the party and Sasha and I have been inseparable. I take her to and from school. I sometimes keep my car in the school's parking lot just so we can walk to her house. It’s the times we walk when we get to know one another. I love hearing her talk, especially about music, and seeing how her face lights up when she’s passionate about something.
It is the night before the talent show and seeing her boss around my team is so hot. She is a girl on a mission and she wants everything perfect. I’m watching her bite her pen as she looks at her clipboard.
How did I get so lucky?
I can’t imagine my life without her in it.
I hate leaving her, I hate going home. I see my dad less and less, and when I’m in my room, all I’m thinking about is her. We haven’t gone any further since the party but our make out sessions are hot and steamy.
We’ve gotten to the point where we strip down to our underwear, but that’s it, and I’m honestly fine with that. I never thought I could get off without actually being inside a girl or using my hand. Seeing her almost naked body on top of me, or even beneath me, is always my undoing.
I walk towards her and wrap my arms around her middle and she turns her head and smiles at me. “I’m missing you.” She turns in my arms.
“How can you miss me? We’re in the same room.” She places her hands on my shoulders, the clipboard now placed on the floor. It’s stupid, but I love that she will have her whole attention on me even though I know this talent show means a lot to her.
“I haven’t touched or kissed you in the last…” I look at my watch, “five minutes.” She giggles and stands on her tiptoes to kiss me.
“Better?” I pretend to think about it.
“I think one more should do it… for now.” She smiles against my lips and I kiss her hard and when we pull back, her hand goes to her heart. “I’m good.” I kiss her cheek and start helping the guys with the chairs.
“You're mean!” she shouts and I turn, blowing her a kiss. She tries to look stern but I can see her lips pulled up at the corners. I put my hands together so it looks like I’m praying, giving her an innocent look, and she shakes her head at me and picks up her clipboard and goes all business woman again.
“You are so whipped.” Aaron claps onto my shoulder. We both look to Sasha and she bends over, picking up something from the floor, her ass in the air. I inwardly groan at how good her ass looks, but hating that Aaron is also seeing it. “Damn, man, if I knew all that was hidden, I would have gone there myself.” I give him a look and he places his hands up in the air. “Joking, man.”
“You better be.” I head to the back of the room and grab a few folded chairs.
“I’m kind of into that Karen girl, I know she wants my cock.” He pats his thighs.
“Yeah, she would have fucked you at the party last week if you didn’t get your stupid ass drunk.” He looks at me like I just killed his puppy.
“Please tell me you’re joking?”
“I heard that’s what she wanted but you lost your chance.” I start placing the seats.
“What about now? Does she still want to fuck me now?” I shrug.
“I don’t know.” I watch him pull his hair.
“What do you mean, you don’t know? I could have fucked her. She’s been teasing me, rubbing her body against mine any chance she gets, and I could have fucked her.” He groans. He looks up to the stage where Karen and Sasha are laughing and I watch as they start dancing intimately. Their hips move in sync and Sasha glides her hand down Karen’s arm to her hips.
I’m transfixed. I can’t look away. They both start to dip back and my dick automatically goes hard, seeing her back be so flexible. Images of her riding on top of me enter my head.
“They’re messing with you,” a voice says from behind us. I don’t want to look away from the stage but I do, seeing Brady standing there shaking his head.
“They’re doing this on purpose?” Aaron asks him, his eyes back to the girls.
“They figured adding it in at our gigs gets the crowd riled up. They sometimes do lap dances on one another while Sasha sings.” I groan as more images enter my head.
“Why have I never been to a show?” Aaron complains.
“Because you didn’t know they existed until last week.” Brady replies. I’ve liked Sasha longer than a week, but I don’t want to correct him. “They’re very attractive women; funny, caring, they look out for those who are close to them. They’re very protective of each other.” My eyes go to Sasha and she is laughing, her head thrown back, before she looks over at me and gives me a wink. I smirk back at her.
She paid me back. They do say payback is a bitch.
“Guys don’t look twice at them when there are girls like the cheerleaders wearing short skirts and their breasts on show. Sasha and Karen, once you see their beauty, you can’t look back. You won’t see them the same way again.” I look over at him and see that he’s watching them.
“You liked them?” Even though it was more of a fact than a question.
“I did. I see them more like family now. Once you’re in the friend zone, you have to move on from it. If you have a chance of being with them, don’t ruin it or you will never forgive yourself.” He heads to the stage and says something to them and they laugh even harder.
“Fuck, now I can’t stop looking at her.” I look at Aaron and luckily his eyes are trained on Karen. “I’ve turned into you. I just want to be with her now and I think it’s more than sex.” I chuckle and clap him on the shoulder.
“Welcome to my world. Now come on, let’s get these chairs done.” I watch his body slump while he helps me.
We get all the chairs in rows and place white sheets over them and start putting ribbons around them to keep the sheets in place. I’m sitting on the floor concentrating on what I’m doing when I feel a body sit on me and I smile when I see Sasha.
“Hello, stranger.” I sit up and wrap my arms around her. “Having fun?” She rolls her eyes, causing me to laugh.
“There are some divas in this school. Some are now complaining about where they’re placed in the show. I told them it’s the day before and its tough shit and the looks they gave me... trust me, if looks could kill, I would be six feet under.” I pull her close to me, I hate her talking about her dying even though I know she’s joking.
“If you get any hassle, just get me and I’ll sort them out.” She laughs.
“What will you do, beat them up?”
“What? No, I would just threaten to kick their ass.”
“I can do that.” I laugh and she hits my arm. “I can,” she says strongly.
“Okay, show me.” She stands until she shadows over me and her face forms into a scowl.
“Don’t fuck with me.” I look into her eyes and see anger there. Her body language is closed off and if I didn’t know she was acting, I would think she means it.
“Wow. I was wrong.” I clap and her face softens and she smiles again.
My girl is back.
“Told you. I loved drama as a kid. Me and my dad used to act out my storybooks.” Her eyes go sad and I sit on one of the seats and pull her to me so she’s sitting on my lap as I hold her.
“He would be so proud of you.”
“I know. I just miss him.” I hold onto her harder. She finally told me about her dad. How he had cancer, how she watched the man she looked up to slowly fade away. No one should see their loved ones like that. She told me happy stories about him and I wish he could be here to see how amazing his daughter turned out to be. I hope he would have approved me being with her.
“That’s normal to miss him. He’s your dad.” We both feel her phone vibrate in her pocket and she takes it out and I see her mom left her a text message.
“Mom says she’s going on another date.” She places her phone back in her pocket.
“Still haven’t met him yet?” She shakes her head. She filled me in that her mother is dating and that she’s happy. I just hope the guy isn’t a dick since it seems serious between them.
“Mom assures me I’ll be meeting him soon, he just has some work to finalize and then I’ll get to meet the mystery man. When I do, will you come with me? It would be a good chance for you to meet my mom, too.” I entwine our fingers.
“I would be honored to meet your mom. I would introduce you to my dad, but he’s never around. I’m lucky if he even comes to my games.” She kisses the side of my face.
“Your dad is a dick. Like, how can he not want to spend time with such an amazing man?” Just hearing her say the words fill me with something I can’t explain.
“I just wish he was more like what your dad was like. It’s just us two and ever since my mom left us, it’s like he can’t stand being in the same room as me for more than five minutes. He just thinks about work and money. I don’t think he has a loving bone in his body. I don’t even have a fun memory of him like you do.” I have never opened up completely about what I think of my dad. I’ve accepted how it is, but I guess deep down I wish things were different.
“It’s his loss. You have me. I’m your family now.” I look at her and see her eyes are all glassy. I place my hand on the back of her head and pull her to me and give her a soft kiss.
“I just need you.”
“You have me,” she whispers against my mouth. I kiss her hard and she lets me. I pull her closer to me and her body molds into mine. I grip her hair and she moans into my mouth when I hear shouting and break away. Looking up, I see Karen on the stage with her hands on her hips.
“If you guys are finished making out, Sasha, we have to go over our set.” Sasha sits up and wipes her mouth as she stands. She’s about to walk away but turns and kisses me one more time first.
“You will always have me,” she says before walking to the stage. I watch her grab her guitar, placing the strap over her shoulder, and they all test out their instruments and the microphone.
Once Sasha starts to sing, it’s like everyone in the room freezes. She has that aura about her that draws you in. You can’t look anywhere else but at her. I watch as her fingers work magically along the strings. They’ve been working on this song for a while from what Sasha has told me, and it's beautiful.
You broke down my walls, changing my path.
All I saw is what I thought I wanted,
but now I know what I want, and that’s you.
Until now I never knew what love was.
Don’t ever leave me or you will take a part of me I can never get back.
You own my heart,
you own my soul.
We both know what it’s like to go through loss,
but we have each other and it’s set stone.
You have me.
Don’t ever question it,
I am ruined for anyone else.
I just hope now that I’m all you will ever see.
Hearing her sing these words as her eyes stay on mine causes my heart to pound unsteadily. Tears are sliding down her cheeks and all I want to do is run to her and hold her. I stand up slowly, her words hitting me right in my heart. I slowly walk to her and she continues to play, her eyes never straying from mine.
All I can see when I look at her is love shining from her eyes. She loves me. I can see it. People will say that we are crazy, that we are moving too fast, but I know what I’m feeling. I stand in front of her with her looking down at me. I wait until she finishes and when the last words leave her lips, I run up the steps leading to the stage and I stand in front of her.
Her big eyes look up at me. She doesn’t say a word but she doesn’t have to. I cup her face and her eyes close. “I love you, Sasha Bennett.” I was close enough to the microphone that the whole room hears it and I hear a few gasps but ignore it.
Her eyes tear up and she chuckles at my accidental announcement. “I love you, too, so much.” I smile hugely and kiss her again. I will never get bored of kissing her.
“It’s set in stone. You own my heart, Sasha, please take care of it.” I wipe away a few tears that escape her eyes.
“As long as you will look after mine.”
I place my hand over her heart. “I promise.” She wraps her arms around me and we kiss. The people around us start to cheer and whistle and I lift her from the ground and she squeals. “I love you,” I tell her again and she laughs.
“I love you, too.” I love hearing her say that.
“Couldn’t you have both waited until tomorrow to declare your love? We probably would have won if you did this at the show,” Karen says, causing us to laugh.
“Sorry, we didn’t think,” I say and Karen huffs.
“Yeah, you were too busy being caught up in the moment.” Sasha sticks her tongue out at her and Karen does the same.
“You have me, you have the crazy lady.” Sasha laughs.
“Wouldn’t have it any other way.” I kiss her again.
