Wait For Me

by Alexis Noelle

Before I can answer, he is in his room with the door closed. About five minutes later, he is on his way out the door.

  “Shawn, wait!” He turns around to look at me. “This is what I’m talking about, dude. Where are you going?”

  “I just have something I need to take care of. Lay off.” He is out the door before I have a chance to say anything else to him.

  I don’t know what is going on with him, but whatever it is, it can’t be good.

  They are posting the cast list for the play today and I am so nervous. I am on my way over to check it out when I hear someone calling my name. I turn around to see Jamie jogging over to me.

  “Hey, girl, what are you up to?”

  I haven’t seen Jamie since the party because he is a year ahead of me, and we don’t have any classes together. “I’m actually going to go check out the cast list for Romeo and Juliet. Did you audition?”

  “Hell no! That shit is way too stuffy for me, girl. If I don’t understand half of the lines, I don’t even bother. How is that wonderful specimen of a man doing?”

  I start laughing. “He is amazing. We have been together since the party and I can’t believe how well it has been going.”

  “That’s great, girl, I’m happy for you. Besides, if it didn’t work, I would have given you some serious competition for him. I have to run to class, though, I’ll see you later.” He gives me a hug. “Good luck!”

  As I walk up to the building, I can see it is posted and there is already a crowd of people over there. I walk up slowly, because I really can’t make my legs move any faster. When I find my name next to the role of Juliet, I almost faint.

  I got it? Holy shit! I can’t believe that I did it! My next thought is to see who is playing Romeo. When I find it, my good mood diminishes. Aaron Jones. Of course, the biggest dick in the program would have to get the role. Aaron is a senior and has been trying to get in my pants since last year. Jason is just going to love this.

  When I turn around, Aaron is right there. Speak of the devil. “So, after a year I will finally get to show you what you have been missing, doll.”

  Doll? Really? What is he, an old time gangster? “Aaron, I can tell that I am not missing much without needing to touch you. I have a boyfriend and this is nothing but a role for me.”

  He raises his hand like he is about to touch my cheek, when it gets slapped away. I look in the direction of the slap and I see Jason. Shit.

  “You need to keep your hands to yourself, Hollister.” I laugh at Jason’s joke. Aaron really did look like one of those preppy models you see on their ads. He has this spiky blond hair, and is dressed in a polo and plaid shorts.

  Aaron looks Jason up and down, and then turns back to me, “I’ll see you in rehearsal, Juliet.” He walks away and I can tell J wants to go after him.

  “So, are you ready for lunch, babe?” Please let this just blow over.

  “Tell me that that asshole is not the one you are going to be doing this play with.”

  “Listen, I don’t get to pick who plays the other roles, and this is a great opportunity for me. I’m not going to turn it down. Trust me, I’m not happy that he got it either.” I turn and started walking to the cafeteria, where we are supposed to meet everyone for lunch, hoping that Jason follows me.

  “Nic, wait!” He catches up to me and wraps his arms around me. He bends down and kisses me in a way that makes me forget I was ever irritated with him. “I get that this is a good opportunity for you. I just need you to know that it’s going to kill me to watch that dickhead have his hands on you. You need to warn him to back off too, or I will.”

  I love his protective, alpha male side. It is something that really makes me feel wanted, cherished, and it fucking turns me on. “Okay, Tarzan, don’t worry. I will warn him that you will club him over the head if he gets out of line.”

  “Well, as long as he knows that, then we won’t have any trouble. Now, come on, Jane, me hungry.” I laugh as we start walking toward the cafeteria.

  Tonight, Jason is coming over to my house to watch a movie, and Maddy lent me ‘The Notebook.’ I know he isn’t going to be too happy about it, but oh well. I have never seen it and always wanted to, so he’ll just need to deal with it.

  Thank God he brought a pizza over with him, because I am starving and there is almost no food in the house. I still can’t get over the way I feel whenever he walks into the room. It is like I can’t breathe, or even form a thought. I know I am seriously falling for him, which scares the crap out of me.

  “Thanks for the pizza, babe.” I lean in and give him a quick kiss, which quickly turns into something more. It is always like that with us, though. I pull back this time. “I am starving and the movie is already set up. Come on.” I grab his hand and we walk over to the couch.

  “So, what are we watching?” He looks over at me and I start to laugh.

  “Well, I told Mads that we were doing a movie night, so she lent me one of her favorites.”

  He looks over at me and I think he already knows what that means. “Come on, Nic. Are you gonna really make me watch one of those ridiculous movies?”

  He is such a guy, but that is what I love. I wrap my arms around his neck. “Yes, I am going to make you watch it.”

  “Well, then I think I need some kind of incentive.” He smirks at me and grabs my ass.

  “I don’t trust you for a minute. First we watch the movie, and then you can have a treat.”

  Chapter Ten

  Jason

  I can’t believe she has me sitting here watching this shit right now. I don’t know how Carter does it; movies like this are pointless to me. I mean, the least they can do is have a car chase or an explosion. That way, when guys get dragged to see these movies by their girls, there is at least something interesting. The only thing helping me stay awake right now is knowing that it is almost over, and that when it is, I will be upstairs with my girl. My girl. I like the sound of that more and more each day.

  Sometimes I surprise even myself with how protective I am of Nicole. I would do anything for her; I just want her to be happy. This whole stupid play shit is killing me, though, because Aaron wants her. He didn’t make it a secret either. If Nicole didn’t make me promise to leave the asshole alone, I would have gone after him by now.

  I hear Nicole start to cry and when I look at the TV, all I see are two old people lying in the bed. What the hell is so sad about that? I don’t care, because the credits start to roll and now comes the good stuff. I walk into the kitchen to put our plates in the sink and get a drink. When I open up the refrigerator, the first thing I see is chocolate syrup next to a can of whipped cream. This could be interesting.

  I walk back into the living room, and see that it is empty, so I walk up to her room and find her lying on the bed. When she looks down and sees the stuff in my hands, she smiles at me, “Just what do you have those for?”

  “That is for me to know and you to enjoy.” I put the stuff on the floor by the bed and jump on top of her. I used to think it would be boring to be with the same girl all the time, but it is different with her. I start to kiss her and she wraps her legs around me. I sit up and take both of our shirts off, then move my attention to her bra, shorts, and underwear. She is now completely naked, and I am so ready for her.

  I lean down to kiss her again. She always tastes so fucking good. Once I add what I brought up from the kitchen, she is only going to taste sweeter. “Now, you have to stay still, baby, or you are going to make a big mess.”

  She nods her head and I grab the chocolate syrup. I hold it right above her tits and drip it all over. When I look at it, I have to laugh.

  She lifts her head up to see what I had done and her expression is priceless. “You did not just write your name on me.”

  “I told you that you’re mine, babe. Now I have proof. Where is my camera?”

  “Jason, don’t you—”

  I lean down and take one of her
breasts into my mouth until I suck and lick every bit of chocolate off of it, then move to the other one. By the time I am done, she is so worked up I can barely keep her still. This time, I pick up the whipped cream and draw a J in the space between her belly button and her clit. I slowly lick it off, taking extra time the closer I get to her spot.

  “Please, Jason!”

  “Please what, baby? Do you want me to enjoy my dessert somewhere else?”

  “God, you bastard, you know what I want!”

  I run my hand over her and I’m not surprised at how wet she is. “Is this where you want me?”

  “Yes!”

  I grab my faithful chocolate syrup and drench her in it. Once I settle in between her legs, she lifts herself up to me. “Mmmm, impatient, aren’t we?” I lowered my head to her and run my tongue up her. The mix of the chocolate and her juices is fucking intoxicating. I grab her ass and dive in, licking, sucking, and biting until she comes and screams my name. I kiss my way back up her body, “I’m guessing you enjoyed that.”

  She smiles up at me, and then rolls us both over. “My turn.” She climbs up on top of me and, before I can blink, she sinks down on me. When she looks back at me, the look in her eyes is so damn sexy. It turns me on to know that she wants me so bad she can’t wait.

  “Fuck, Nic!” She lifts her ass up slowly. Then when she is almost at the top, she slams back down, screaming as she does it. This is fantastic. I love when she takes control, and I really love seeing her on top of me. I grab her hand and guide it down her body, “Baby, I want to see you touch yourself while you ride me.”

  I let go of her hand and watch her. She starts to stroke herself, although she seems apprehensive at first. Then she starts to get more into it. The faster she strokes herself, the faster she rides me. It is fucking beautiful. “Shit, j, I think I’m…” She collapses on top of me, breathless and sweaty from her second orgasm of the night.

  I’m not done with her yet; I flip her over and start driving into her. I can’t get close enough to her, it is crazy. Her nails start digging into my back.

  “God, J, I don’t know if I can handle another one.”

  I am almost there, and by all the little moans, I know she will be again before long. I lean down and take her nipple into my mouth, grazing my teeth over it as I pull back.

  We both come, yelling out. Thank God Holly and Christen are out tonight.

  Nicole

  This week has been absolutely horrible. Rehearsal has been unbearable, especially with Aaron being so close. Everything he says to me is either a dirty or sarcastic comment. I know it is pissing J off that I have to spend so much time with him. I have my cousin’s wedding this weekend and she told me I could bring someone. I want to ask Jason, but I’m not sure it will be something he is into.

  I am meeting him for lunch now, so I guess it can’t hurt to ask. When I walk into the diner, I see him sitting in our favorite booth in the corner, “Hey, stud muffin!”

  “Stud muffin? Really?” He looks at me with a goofy look.

  “Whatever. Next time, I’ll call you ugly.” He laughs and I slide into the booth next to him. When the waitress comes over to take our order, I look up to see Alyssa, Carter’s ex. She caused some crap between Maddy and Carter last year and is a royal pain in the ass. God, I hate this girl so much. Isn’t there a strip club or something she could be working at? I really don’t want her touching my food, who knows where her hands have been. After she takes our order and leaves, I lean back against J. I love being able to be like this with him. It is so nice having him not be apprehensive about us anymore. “So, I have something to ask you.”

  “Okay, as long as I don’t have to watch one of those ridiculous movies again. I mean, I liked what happened after it, but I’m not sitting through another one.” He smirks at me and I can tell he is replaying that night.

  “No, I am to going to my cousin’s wedding this weekend, because I’m a bridesmaid, and I want to know if you want to come with me.” I close my eyes as I wait for the answer.

  “A wedding? I don’t know, Nic, I’ve never been to one of those before. I won’t have any idea what to do. Do I need to wear a tux, like at prom or something?”

  I laugh. Jason really has no idea of the normal things you do when you are in a relationship. “No, you aren’t in the wedding, so you won’t need to wear a tux. You could wear black pants and a button up shirt. I just thought it might be fun. There will be lots of food, an open bar, and a DJ.”

  “Um…I guess I could come.” He seems unsure but his acceptance makes me smile.

  I am so excited that he says he will go! I really didn’t think he would. I lean in and kiss him, “Thank you.”

  “You’re welcome, babe.”

  We finished lunch, and then just hang out at his house for the night.

  “So, when you say you are in this wedding, what does that mean?”

  “I have to go over to Jess’s house tomorrow night. We will go get our hair done in the morning, then go to the church and get ready for the ceremony. I’ll leave you the invitation, so you can put the address into the GPS.”

  “Okay, sounds good. Is your dad or your stepmom going to be there?”

  I can tell by his face that he wants me to say no. I don’t think he is ready to meet my dad yet, and the longer I can keep him away from the wicked witch, the better. “No, my dad is out of town, and thankfully, my stepmother always goes with him.”

  “What is up with you and her, Nic? Every time you talk about her or she gets brought up, I can tell it pisses you off.”

  I knew this would come up eventually and if I want him to trust me, I have to be able to trust him. “She married my dad about two years ago. I could tell from the first day that she couldn’t stand me. I even caught her on the phone with one of her friends talking about it. She said that she was happy I was older, because she didn’t want kids or any of the responsibility that came along with them. I guess I get it, in a way, but she is always such a witch to me. I swear it is like she gets pleasure out of my misery.”

  “What about your dad? Doesn’t he notice any of this?”

  “My dad is oblivious. He is so caught up in work that I am surprised he even knows I’m home half of the time.” An awkward silence settles between us and I can tell he is trying to process what I had just told him. “What about your parents? I mean, I know you told me your mom left, but that is all you have really said about her.”

  “My mom was…she was great, until she left. She didn’t work and was always there whenever we needed her. I used to think she was perfect, but then I came home one day and she was gone. I get that what happened with Sara was hard for her, but it was hard for all of us. After she left, my dad just became really bitter. He is half the reason I was the way I was with girls. He always told me, ‘love ‘em and leave ‘em, before you get left’.” He isn’t looking at me anymore, almost as if he is ashamed of the way he used to be. “That is why I kept avoiding you. I didn’t know how to handle not wanting to leave you. I wanted to be around you all the time and that was a first for me.”

  “I know, and I could tell from the start that there was something there. You’re lucky you are so cute, because if it was anyone else, I would have kicked their ass to the curb a long time ago.” I nudge him and he smiles.

  He starts laughing and looks up at me from his position lying down on the couch. He grabs me by my waist and sits me on top of him, so I am facing him. I wrap my arms around his neck and he smiles at me. “I am so glad you didn’t give up on me. I know it wasn’t easy. The thing is, I knew I was hurting you, even though it was the one thing I was trying not to do. You better listen good, because I don’t say this very often, but I’m sorry.”

  I lean in and kiss him. My little kiss immediately catches fire. He grabs the back of my head and holds me in place, so I can’t move, not that I want to anyway. I love how passionate things are between us and I hope this feeling never goes away.

  I am meeting Carter for lunch today. He texted me last night asking if I wanted to meet up. I didn’t answer until this morning because I was a little tied up with Nicole. She is everything I never thought I deserved and I’ll do whatever I can to never lose her.

  I feel a hand slap my back and when I turn around, Carter is there. “Hey, how is everything?”

  “It’s going good, I guess. I really don’t know how to deal with this whole relationship thing. Honestly, I’m surprised I haven’t screwed it up yet.” I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop with us.

  “You are in deep trouble.” He shakes his head as he laughs at me.

  “Why?”

  “I have seen that look on your face before, many times. I see it every time I look in the mirror, actually.”

  “What the fuck you are talking about, Carter?” He isn’t making any sense right now.

  “You, my friend, are falling in love.” His finger points at me.

  “Are you out of your mind? We have only been together a couple months, Carter. I think you have watched one too many of those chick flicks with Maddy.” He has no idea what he is talking about. There is no way I love her, it doesn’t happen that fast in real life.

  “Whatever you say, Jason.”

  Just then, Alyssa comes walking up. How do we end up in her section every friggin’ time?

  “Hey, boys, what can I get you today?” The entire time she is taking our order, she is all over Carter. I am trying to figure out how he has room to breathe, because she is standing so close to him. When she walks away, she is shaking her ass so hard back and forth, I’m surprised she didn’t pull a muscle.

  “That girl cannot take a hint, dude. I mean, how many times have you told her to beat it?”

  “I have lost track by now. I swear, every time I turn around she is there. It is fucking exhausting. How are things with you and Nic? Aside from you being in love.” He smirks at me and he is lucky I don’t punch him in his smug face.
