The Bet

CHAPTER 15: Just Like Old Times

KORINNA

It took me about a week after discussing with Arlan about hanging out with his friends to finally convince me to agreeing. 

So today at school during lunchtime, we walked hand-in-hand towards his friends that were all sitting down outside at a round table while talking and laughing. 

Once they saw us walking up together towards their table, everyone stopped and looked at me with confusion. 

"What's SHE doing here?!" Nina protests. 

"Shut up Nina." Rick says. "This is Arlan's girlfriend and you need to get used to that fact." He snaps at her. 

Did Rick seriously just tell Nina to shut up?! Wow. 

"We can always eat somewhere else." Arlan says to all of them and turning a little bit to make it seem as though we were going to start walking away. 

"Nah bro, it's all good. You guys should hang out with us. We haven't hung out in a while." Rick says as he pats Arlan on the back. 

"Yeah, I know." Arlan says. 

Both Arlan and I take a seat next to a few of their friends. There was one who definitely looked like a bad boy, then there were Nina's spawns and a couple of other guys who if you had them stand next to both Rick and Arlan, you might have thought they were in a gang of some sort. 

"It's nice to meet you guys." I smile trying to be polite and not expecting any of them to know who I am. Despite how many classes I have with some of them. 

This all seems too surreal, however, Arlan so far kept his end of the bargain and has made me feel more comfortable. I especially love the public affection he's doing. I always wondered what it would be like being in Nina's position when he did this to her. Now I know and it's even better than I ever thought because it's in front of everyone, especially Nina. 

Once school was over, we headed back towards his place and luckily, Freddy was there. I had heard about what happened and felt really bad for him. 

"Hey gorgeous!" He greets me with a big hug and smile followed by a kiss on the cheek. 

"Hey back. How are you?" I ask. 

"Not too bad. Yourself?" It's been a couple of weeks almost since we last saw each other." He says. 

"Yeah. I know. Sorry." I tell him. 

"It's all good. Although I don't know what you're doing hanging out with this dumb ass." He nods at Arlan and playfully punches his arm. 

"Whatever." Arlan rolls his eyes. 

"Well, I'm gonna head off. I'll be back later and maybe we can order some food and watch a movie." He suggests. 

"Sounds good." I replied. 

After he leaves, Arlan offers me something to drink before we head upstairs into his room which makes me feel a little bit nervous. 

Once we walk inside, we both sit on the bed and share a brief moment of awkward silence. 

"So, what do you want to do?" He asks me. 

"I don't know." I shrugged. "It's your house." I laugh nervously. 

He doesn't say anything but yet, I can tell he's looking at me. So I turn my head to look at him and before I could ask him why he was staring at me, he held my face then leaned in and began kissing me. I then began kissing him back as I placed my hand on the side of his face. 

He's such an amazing kisser. I next start to feel myself being laid back on the bed while not breaking our lips apart from each other's. 

I then begin feeling one of his hands moving down my side slowly as he climbs on top of me and kisses me from my mouth down towards my neck, to between my breasts then lifts my shirt up as he places gentle kisses onto my stomach. 

He places his hand up my shirt and starts to cup one of my breasts making me moan. 

He smiles while looking up at me and starts to kiss me again back up to my lips. While I start to feel his hand move slowly down towards the brim of my leggings and right when I feel his fingers move down into my panties, we both start moaning until I realize that I'm not ready right now. 

"Wait." I say against his lips. 

"I'm sorry." He immediately removes his hand. 

"No, it's okay it's just, I've never been touched down there before by anyone other than myself." I confess feeling a little embarrassed as he looks at me bewildered. 

"How is that possible?" He asks me. 

"What do you mean?" I ask. 

He looks at me for a moment and for a second there I started to think that maybe he didn't believe me. 

"Wow." He says under his breath. 

"Did you think I did it already?" I asked while trying not to sound hurt. 

"I just thought.....Never mind, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I even did anything and I hope that you didn't feel uncomfortable. I want you to know that I won't ever force you to do anything you don't want to." He says now giving me an apologetic look. 

Then it hit me, maybe he thought Rick and I did it that night at the party after he left the room but we didn't although I'm sure of course, Rick told everyone a different story. 

"It's okay. Let's forget about it. I mean, I do want to do it and maybe it's silly but, I'd like it to be special." I tell him. 

"And you deserve nothing less." He tells me as he places his forehead against mine while holding my face. 

So we ended up spending the rest of the time making out in between listening to music and watching a few shows on Hulu before Freddy came back home with some food and then we ordered a movie on Demand and overall had a great time......Just like old times.
