A light || Ricky and Nini

Chapter 19

Ricky POV

It was Friday already and I was super grateful. Being with Nini at school is fun but hanging out with her outside of school is truly my favorite. Not to mention, Nini's moms would be out of town for work tonight and Saturday night so we had plans for me to stay over. The final bell of the day rang and I walk out to the parking lot with my skateboard and backpack, waiting for Nini so that we could walk home. I see her running towards me, she's brightly smiling and clearly just as happy for the weekend. "Hey you!" She says to me as I grab her by the waist and pull her close to me. "Hey there." I laugh into her hair. She pulls back and I lean into kiss her. I never get tired of kissing Nini. I feel her smile against my lips and I pull back to ask her why she's so happy. "Okay QUESTION" she says adorably. "Can you teach me how to ride your skateboard?" I smile at her. "That's what you were thinking about while kissing me?" I ask her. She's laughing but she looks at me hopefully. "But you don't have a helmet or anything Nins!" I say. "That's okay, Ricky I'll be super careful." I eye her cautiously but I put the skateboard down on the sidewalk and let her onto it. 

Nini POV 

I had thought about asking Ricky to teach me how to skateboard. It looks like so much fun and it would be fun to relate to him on that level like he relates to me and musicals now. He helps me onto the skateboard carefully, I can clearly tell he's nervous that I'll get hurt. His hands are gripping my waist as we walk/ride together and I'm laughing. I can see his smile as he steps back slightly to take a picture of me. We stop for a second, me still on the board and his hands still around my waist, and he looks up at me. The sun is reflecting into his eyes and somehow they look brighter. I run my fingers through his hair, a habit that I've started out of comfort and he smiles up at me. "Wanna go again?" He asks. I nod excitedly and we keep going. "Can you let go this time?" I ask him. He looks really worried but takes one hand off of my waist, placing it on my back. "There see, you won't even know I'm holding on." I look at him and his smirk but I'm stubborn. "Rickyyyy" I say. "Alright, alright fine." He reluctantly agrees, and I start up myself. Within ten seconds though, I've already tripped and I'm rolling off the sidewalk into the grass. "Shit Nini!" I hear Ricky say as he runs over to me. I sit up slightly and laugh nervously. "Well that kinda hurt." I say. He frowns and rubs my back slightly as he checks over my injuries. I've skinned both of my knees somehow, and part of my left lower leg was bleeding. "Damn you really got yourself." Ricky tells me, his frown deepening. "I'm okay" I tell him, laughing and trying to get up. I was covered in dirt from rolling on the grass but honestly, I only cared about the stinging that would occur while cleaning these wounds. I remember times where I would fall at the playground and my moms would hold me down in order to disinfect the wounds, and shower time was the worst. Specifically, I remember trying to wash my hair from outside of the shower once. I laughed to myself at the memories as Ricky grabbed my hand. "Let's get you home and cleaned up." I nod as I reach for the skateboard, but Ricky grabs it first. "Good thing my moms already left. I don't think I need the interrogation." Ricky looks over at me and down at my hurt legs and I can see his face turn into a frown again. "I shouldn't have let go." He tells me. "Don't blame yourself Ricky, I was pretty much forcing you to let go." I say laughing. I take one of my hands and run it over his cheek and he begins to smile. "Yeah, the daughter of two strong women can be a handful." I glare at him but he pulls me close and thankfully, we've reached my house in no time. 

Ricky makes himself at home like he usually does, while I shout to him that I'm heading to take a shower, bounding up the steps and closing my door. I head into the bathroom, pulling myself up onto the counter and I sigh when I look at the mess that the fall made. I pull off my dress and I start to put antiseptic all of my left leg. It BURNS. It makes me happy though that I wasn't as dramatic as I thought I was when I was younger. The powerful force of the shower though is still to come and that doesn't sound fun, regardless of already disinfecting my wounds. I undress the rest of myself and start the water, holding onto the handle while watching the stream of hot water. This is not a fun feeling. The sound of the water though masked the sound of my bedroom  door opening, and all of a sudden I hear a light tap on the bathroom door. "Oh uh?" I say, but I just hear Ricky's voice respond with "I'm coming in Nins." He walks in and I grab a towel to cover myself, just out of habit (ya know, not exposing myself to people I'm in a room with) and he smiles softly. "I figured you might need help, I remembered your thing with showering and open wounds from grade school." He chuckles lightly and moves closer to me. I stood sorta frozen, even though I was smiling gratefully. It wasn't that I was embarrassed... well honestly, I guess it was. He saw me when we were in the dark and we were lost in each other and now, the light are on and we're in clear view of each other. I watch as Ricky pulls his shirt off, followed by his jeans and he stands in front of me in just his boxers. He moves toward me again, placing his hand on the towel that I'm clutching close to my body. I'm still slightly aware of my stinging leg, but to be honest I am just focused on Ricky's movements. "It's just me Nins" he says as he takes one of my hands away from my towel. Somehow, I nod and he looks at me cautiously as he takes the towel from my body, his eyes never leaving mine. He pulls down his underwear and he gets into the shower. I get in after him, holding his hand as he shields the water from my body. "Alright, ready?" He says to me, letting me know he's going to move from his place of shielding. I nod and clutch his hand as the water sprays onto me, and my open wounds. "Damn" I whisper. Ricky is already grabbing the wash cloth and soap, looking at me for permission before running it over my body. He makes his movements so gentle and so loving. He runs over my sensitive spots a little longer than the rest of my body, making me blush, but when he looks back at me I forget everything. He pulls me close to his body, dropping the wash cloth and putting his hands around my waist. I move my hands up to clear his forehead of his wet hair and he leans down and kisses me so passionately. I feel like this is what I've been waiting for. I know I had been craving the feeling of these butterflies in my stomach and I kiss him back just as intensely. Our chests are pressed so tightly together that I know our hearts are beating as one. He backs me up into the shower wall and he frames my head in with his arms. He's kissing everywhere, my jaw, my neck, and then he finds the pulse point under my ear and I grab one of his arms to keep from slipping. He continues sucking on that point as I involuntary buck my hips up into his. He groans from the side of my head and moves to find my lips again. His length was pressed up against my center and we are so lost in each other. Once again, I move my hips to meet his and he cups my face and kisses me passionately. "We can't" he tells me. I nod knowing that we have no source of protection in here. That doesn't stop me from reaching down though to grab him in my hand and I start stroking him. I have no clue what I'm doing but he seems to approve because he throws his head back in pleasure. "Nini" he moans softly, and his head comes forward to rest on my shoulder. I feel him start to kiss my neck again and the more I rub him the more he sucks on my neck, completely losing control. When he comes, he throws his head back once again and I watch in awe of the effect I could have on him. When he comes back into reality he smiles softly at me and he moves forward. Something about his expression made me want to move closer into him and his beautiful smile makes my stomach flutter. Our lips connect again and one of his hands moves off of my waist. Thinking he was going to turn the water off, I break away from our kiss but I gasp when I feel his fingers down below me. He's staring into my eyes as I lean into him for support and he has one arm wrapped around me, holding me in place. I gasp again and he leans into kiss me, catching each of my sounds of pleasure with his lips. His fingers continue to move and as I lose control I lean into him, completely, depending on him to hold me up. And he does. That trust is so hard to come by in life but he's earned all of mine and he holds me tighter as I come back to reality myself. 

As we get out of the shower together, Ricky moves to get a towel for me. He wraps me in it first, and brings me close to his body and turns us so that we're facing the mirror. He kisses my neck and whispers to me "Look how beautiful you are" into my ear. I blush and look up at him, kissing his jaw and looking back at the mirror. But all I see are two people in love.
