Him and I

7. Us

Around one o’clock AM Cami and Jason left I sat by myself for a while Lance came up to me. “Hey, let’s go home” he said to me, I got up willingly and we walked to my car. He opened the passenger door, and I got in he shut the door and got into the driver’s side, he injected the key and turned it the car started, and he shifted it into drive. We made our way home; I looked out the window most of the time.

        He drove cautiously “hey why are you driving I saw you drinking earlier” I stated “I was drinking only pop no alcohol” he replied. Then I fell back asleep. We arrived at home; Lance woke me up “Hey Adria, hey were home.” I opened my eyes to him smiling at me, he got out and walked to my side he opened the door. I was awake enough to get out, but I was not as awake as I thought, I got out and stood up I took one step and almost fell onto the ground. Lance caught me “I think you need my help walking?” he asked. I nodded and put my arm around his neck, and he grasped my waist and walked me to the front door.

        “Do you feel stable enough to go up yourself?” he asked me, I looked at him and shook my head “no”. He walked me up the front stairs and opened the door, he shut it quietly “wow you’re really good at that aren’t you?” I asked him. He smiled at me “haha yes I know how to open and close a door…sneakily”, I laughed a little too loud “shhhh keep it down we don’t need anyone waking up”. We made our way up the stairs to my room I flopped onto the bed and laid there. Lance took my shoes off and threw them on my floor, he sat down next to me on the bed and looked at me. I smiled “what are you doing?” I asked him he smiled back and moved a piece of hair from my face.

        I kept my eyes locked on him he found my eyes and we gazed at each other, he broke it “well um I should go” he said then got up and left. I sat there thinking about what could have happened then pushed those thoughts down and drifted off to sleep. I woke up to my alarm at seven-thirty, I got up and made my way to the bathroom. I got my make up off from the night before and did my morning routine, then I went downstairs to the kitchen. Where I found my mom making breakfast, she turned and looked at me “good morning honey” she said to me I smiled at her and sat down at the counter.

        I sat there for a while then mom got done making breakfast which was pancakes, bacon, eggs, and sausage it was delicious. My siblings and father came down she was in a good mood for now, then as I was sitting there eating I was thinking about Cami and Lance and Jason. I couldn't get them out of my head especially what happened last night in my room with Lance. We finished breakfast and I went upstairs to get ready for the day. I put on some cute jean shorts a white laced tank top, I added some clay bracelets and a silver flower necklace.

        Cami texted me “hey do wanna come over and hang for a bit?” I replied “sure”, then finished getting ready and headed over to her house. I walked into music blaring, I walked into the living room and found Lance half naked with three almost naked girls. They were all dancing with drinks on the table, they all looked at me when I walked in “heeyy you came!” he said to me drunkenly. I threw him a confused disgusted look and walked over to the hallway where Cami and Lance’s rooms are. I knocked on Cami’s room “yea!” she yelled, I opened the door and popped my head in she looked up and waved me to come in.

        I walked in and sat on her solar chair “what is all of that about?” I asked while pointing to the door. She looked at me “it’s the last day before mom and dad come home.” she replied. I understood after she said that we sat there for a few hours talking about random stuff. Then the music stopped we looked at each other and got up to check it out. Lance was getting dressed he looked at us “I fell asleep for three hours and they left but they cleaned up .”he told us Cami and I looked at each other and laughed at him “you fell asleep!?...how do you do that?!” we said while laughing.

        We helped him cleanup for about an hour, “well I should probably get home guys” I said “well thank you for helping clean” said Lance. I nodded and smiled at him, Cami gave me a hug goodbye and I left I walked into the house dad and Carson were watching Baseball, mom was making dinner. I don’t know where Nadia is, I went into the kitchen to help mom with dinner she was making mac and cheese lasagna.

        While I was helping mom we talked about random stuff and laughed. I haven’t laughed that good with my mom is years, we set the table, and all joined at the table to eat dinner. We talked about our days and other topics as a family, we finished up dinner. Carson and Nadia cleared the table and did the dishes, I went upstairs to my room to attempt to finish my homework for school tomorrow.

        Until I got a text message my phone was on my bed, I turned and looked at my phone, I got up and walked over to my phone. I flipped it over to see who it was it didn’t say anything, so I opened it, my messages didn’t say anything. Until my eyes caught a notification dot by his name, I rolled my eyes and opened it “hey you up?” it said. “Yea, what’s up?” I replied “just wondering” he said, I rolled my eyes and threw my phone on my bed and went back to my homework. Ten minutes go by, and I get a good amount of it done then I heard something hit my window, but I ignored it.

        Then it kept happening I tried to ignore it, but I couldn’t, so I agitatedly went over to my window and opened my curtains. I looked out and saw Lance standing there with a hand full of small rocks, I opened my window and poked my head out “what do you want!” I said frustratedly. “Do you wanna hang?” he asked me “I’m doing homework” I said, “well think of it as a study break.” He smiled at me, and I grinned back, I told him to come in through the back door cause mom and dad were in the living room.

        I closed my window and brisk fully went down the stairs to the back patio door, he was standing outside of the glass doors. I grasped the door handle and turned it, the door opened, and we kept eye contact the whole time. I stepped to the side by the door as a “come on in” cue, he walked into the house, and I closed the door. We turned around and looked at each other, I put part of my weight in my staggering leg and pushed myself off the door. I walked up the stairs I get not even halfway up the stairs and turn around, I looked straight into his eyes. As a target laser does on a sniper’s gun then continue walking up the stairs, he takes the hint and follows me up the stairs to my room.

        My family was asleep, so we were very quiet walking to my room, I opened the door and walked straight in he followed me. When he entered my bedroom he closed the door quietly behind him we stood in my room awkwardly. “So, what you wanna do?” he asked as he looked up at me with a devious smile, I looked at him and walked over pushing him against the door, “not what you’re wanting to do.” I said with a scheming tone then turned away and started walking to my bed I sat down. I faced him he stood in the same place and gazed at my eyes then went down my body and up to my eyes again.

        In a split second he leaped onto me and pressed his soft warm lips against mine, I stayed there in shock until he broke away from me and looked deeply at me. Then kissed me again I pressed myself into him and kissed him passionately. Then it hit me “omg I did it again I fell for his shit again and now he’s on top of me again fuck what the hell is wrong with me Cami will never forgive me if she ever finds out!”. I pushed him off me and sternly told him “We can’t keep doing this!…I think we need to keep our distance for a while.” He looks at me with a stupid confused look “why? What’s so bad about us fooling around a little?” I got frustrated by his reply “really!?...you really asked that what’s so bad about you and me fooling around! Your sister is my best friend and if she ever found out or caught us she would never talk to me or worse!”

        I said to him he looked at me with an understanding look and said, “but what if I already talked to her about it?” I changed my face to a surprise but suspicious expression I asked, “what do you mean by that?”. He repeated his statement “what if she’s all good with it?” I looked at him again with a confused expression on my face I didn't understand. I said, “you're lying you never talk to her…why would you talk to her about us when I've told you so many things that she would do to us if she ever found out”. he looked at me and said, “you can ask her yourself go ask her tomorrow morning come over for breakfast and ask her and then you'll see.” I agreed and he opened my door and walked out to go back home.

        I watched him go back to his house through my window, I closed the curtains and went to my bed. I situated myself in my bed and stared blankly at my celling thinking about what he said. Then drifted off to sleep, I woke up and turned off my lamp then turned over and went to sleep.
