Chapter 32 - The Ribs

Most girls want the perfect life, prom queen, a sweet footballer boyfriend/sweet girlfriend, a giant friend group the most amazing people. I guess we all want that at least a little, you can't lie.

But for me, I know I used to want this, but I think right now I only want one part,

The football boyfriend.

I think...

I wake up in a warm pair of arms, the ones I'm now used to. The ones I want to be in for at least another minute.

I tighten Kingston's arms around me, pushing myself closer to him. After I started crying, he didn't pressure me to tell him anything, he didn't ask what was wrong.

He just held me, and told me when we wanted to talk about why I was crying we could. Even if it was right then.

I told him eventually I would tell him, but I don't know if I'll ever tell him I love him.

His thumb rubs gentle circles on the warm skin of my stomach, since my shirt had rolled up in the night. His skin touching mine is amazing, something I had always known but now I pay attention to.

He chuckles in my ear, a weak chuckle, his warm breath fanning my neck as he gives it a kiss. Sending shiver all the way through me.

"Come any closer and I will not be able to control myself." Kingston says into my neck. My eyes go wide as I flip around, looking at him "Sorry." I say and he lifts my chin up to look at him.

"Do not be sorry." He says and I flush with a red blush. He looks into my eyes, the sweet smile he always has when he's around me is there, sitting on his lips happily.

He mumbles something to him self, looking at me. Or maybe it wasn't to himself, but I don't think he wanted me to hear it. He leaned in, pressing his body against me mine again.

I giggle as he flips us so I'm laying on top of him. I move my arms under him, his warm body is perfectly aligned with mine. His bare chest is what I rest my face on.

I kiss his chest, about to go back to bed when he chuckles. "Nope, you have got to talk to River's mom now. I have to go over to the school and prepare for the last game. If you can, please come. I can get Madeline to give you a ride?" He says and I shake my head.

"I'm okay, I can get Melanie to drive me." I say, thinking of telling him the reason that Melanie left. The death threats that Madeline has given me for years, the hateful comments to me and Melanie.

I open my mouth to speak, him out from under me and putting a shirt on, but he speaks instead. "The rumors are true, Madeline is trying to get River to date her. He might do just that." He says and I nod.

I look down at my lap, knowing that River would do that even if it hurt me.

Right?

I look up, Kingston looking at me in confusion. He looks over me, "You seemed a little spaced out there?" He said and I shake my head with a shrug.

He smirks down at his feet. He's in a plain gray top and some basketball shorts which is his uniform for gym.

I smile at him, looking into his bathroom with a thought crossing my mind. So many thoughts. One I might do.

He smiles, grabbing a sports bag and kissing my forehead. His hands slowly slip off of my body as he leaves. A little wave to me.

I get up, going into my room and seeing my toiletries. A shampoo bottle, body wash, conditioner... a razor.
