Summers & Starbucks - Chapter 37: Chapter 37

Kaiden
We collapse on my bed, utterly spent. The taste of Nathan is still in my mouth. If I could, I would want nectar to taste like that.
Everything feels right, all the stars are aligned right now. I can't imagine what I would be feeling after we actually have sex.
I'm.... excited about it. If it's with him.
We smile, taking in each other's bodies.
I've said this before, he's a work of art - from his soft hair and the arch of his brows right down to his sculpted legs. I can't believe it's been less than a day I was in a beach villa with Sam and now I'm in bed, naked with Nathan.
"You're... beautiful," I whisper, entwining our fingers.
He grins, bending to kiss my forehead. The action is a contrast to what just went down between us. There's a distance between us, lying on our sides, just observing.
I can never get bored of looking at Nathan. His nose is a little red and the bedhead is making him look sexier, curls mussed on his forehead.
"I love you," he whispers.
I want to say it back but I can't. Saying it would make it all too real. I can't help but feel this is all a fantastic dream and it's going to shatter any moment.
"Mm," I smile. "Are you going to stay?"
"Ouch Kai, were you meaning to kick me out? I was just a one time thing?" he feigns hurt.
I flick his forehead and we both laugh.
"It's Monday tomorrow that's why I asked. I don't want to rush you in the morning, dumbass."
"Let's skip?"
"Oh hell no, my parents are home."
"No, that's not what I meant. Let's pretend to go to school for your parents but actually let's go to my place. I don't think I want to be away from you just yet," he whispers.
His finger traces my features until it stops at my neck and his hand grabs it. I forget my words, the sudden aggression sparking a part of my brain I hadn't known. He pulls me in, peppering and biting and blowing kisses everywhere on my neck.
I grab his bicep, feeling myself harden again. He rolls on top of me. I gasp at the skin on skin friction. His mouth finds my mouth again, his hands still on my neck.
"I..." Kiss. "Love...." Kiss. "You."
I bite my lip and whimper when he bites my neck, my hands unsurely grabbing his ass. His eyes widen when I pull him down and move. A string of curses leaves his plump swollen lips, eyes fixed on mine.
"Do you want to get fucked?" he asks.
"Of course... Uh, eventually though.." I stutter.
Not tonight definitely. I don't want to jinx this.
"Then stop doing that," he sighs, getting off of me. I miss his touch immediately.
He picks up his boxers and hands me my own. I watch his perfect ass when he puts them on. We're fully dressed soon. It's too cold out to sleep naked.
A small smile settles on my lips. He's mine. We're not official yet but he does love me.
Me!
He climbs back into bed, under my duvet. I stretch my legs, looking back at him.
"C,mere," he says, patting the space beside him. I blush as I crawl under the blanket, facing him.
Benji mews, jumping on me. He's purring loudly, making biscuits on my shoulder.
"That cat is probably traumatized by what he just witnessed," Nathan laughs. "He's judging his master so hard right now."
"Nah, he's purring so he probably enjoyed the show," I snicker. Nathan makes a disgusted face.
"Benji's into gay porn then?"
We both laugh loudly.
"Remember when you said you could have loud rough sex in here and no one would hear you?" he winks. I nod, grinning.
"I'm looking forward to testing that," he whispers, pulling me closer so that our faces are almost touching. His hand rests on my waist, rubbing slow circles. The spot feels warm.
"Me too," I admit.
My face automatically settles into a smile. Nathan runs his fingers through my hair and I close my eyes, utterly at peace.
"I have a question," he whispers. I'm already half-asleep, with his warm arms enveloping me and his hands in my hair. I'm... content.
"Hn?"
"Do you uh, want to tell people about us?"
I open my eyes with difficulty.
"Uh, no I guess. I don't know how everyone would feel about us. Especially Raven and Daniel."
I cup his jaw, tracing my thumb on his lower lip.
"We still have a lot of things to sort before we come out. I'm surprised you asked me that, I thought you were the one who wanted to keep everything a secret?!"
He nods, sighing.
"Yes, but keeping you a secret? That would mean you're still available for all the girls to hit on you," he frowns. "I don't think I want that."
I laugh. Oh, what a jealous cutie.
"The amount of girls who hit on you is way more. Trust me, I would do anything to flaunt you too. You're mine and it should stay that way. But I don't want anything to jinx this, us. It's better people not know."
He pulls me closer and kisses my forehead. I sigh and snuggle into his chest, inhaling his perfect scent.
"I don't deserve you," he sighs softly and it is the last thing I hear before I drift off.
"You look fucking crazy, smiling like that. You literally haven't stopped smiling!" Ryan chuckles. "What happened over the weekend?"
I shut my locker, shrugging. We walk to homeroom together.
"I just...had a nice trip," I smile.
If only they knew! I want to tell them but I also don't want to.
"That's not the only reason. It can't be, you look like you ate a banana sideways," Ryan grins.
"You got laid, didn't you?" Bella laughs, putting her arm around my waist. "There's no reason why Sam would ask you on a getaway and not do that."
A dark blush covers my face immediately. Ryan says AHA triumphantly.
"So like, you guys are... going out?"
I shake my head. Ryan raises a brow.
"Just.... fuck buddies," I lie, the words bitter on my tongue.
"At least you're getting some, I feel like my dick would shrivel and fall off in some days. I need a girlfriend!" He grumbles. Bella bursts into laughter.
"Why don't you ask Tamara out? It's obvious she has the hots for you!"
"She's nice looking but she's annoying as fuck. I don't think I can bear her as my girlfriend. Besides, I don't wanna settle just yet so even if I find someone to fuck, that would be great."
Sasha and Daniel walk to us, looking picture-perfect together. Me and Nathan got to school early as hell to avoid being caught by my parents. He then went off to speak with the counselor.
"Hey guys, had a nice weekend?" Sasha chirps happily.
"Well, Kaiden definitely did," Ryan pokes my side.
"How so?" Daniel asks and my mind blanks.
"I went for a trip to my beach house with my parents," I smile quickly, sending Ryan a pointed glare. He looks in his phone, pretending to be busy.
"Hey, that's good! We should definitely plan a trip soon. Let's go skiing!" Sasha says. "We could go to Tahoe!"
"That should be interesting!" Bella agrees.
Raven joins us at that moment, hesitantly meeting my gaze. Although I was mad she told Nathan about me and Sam, I'm now absolutely grateful since her meddling got me the one person I've dreamed of.
I smile and give her a hug. She relaxes in my arms, burying her face in my chest. I know she was expecting me to yell at her but I'm too fucking happy to be mad at anyone.
"Kai- I'm..."
"I know," I cut her off. "It's okay, everything is fine. I don't hate you so you can stop looking like a scared bunny."
Her bright smile returns immediately when she giggles.
"I don't think I can bear you being angry at me. I was so stressed the whole weekend!"
"Angry?!" Bella quirks a brow. "What did I miss?"
"Yeah, did you two have a fight?" Ryan asks.
"I'll tell you later. There are some things I have to know from Kaiden yet," Raven says, looking up at me pointedly. I know she deserves an explanation about why I got so mad but I'm probably gonna break her heart.
Her face lights up when Nathan approaches us and my stomach does a backflip.
"Nate!" she smiles, giving him a hug too. I meet his gaze and he nods at me.
God, I've been preaching about communicating and now I'm doing the same secret crap. Towards my best friend.
"How was your weekend? Did you celebrate your win? I heard just the soccer team had a party on Saturday," Raven asks, not leaving his embrace. His hand rests comfortably on her shoulder and I have to remind myself that he's just being friendly.
Ryan and Daniel nod.
"We bonded a lot, had the best fucking time, prank calling the Westbrook team and gloating! It was childish as fuck but hella satisfying! I can sail through this semester with that one win itself!" Daniel laughs. Ryan nods in agreement.
"Nathan does mad beatboxing by the way when he's drunk!" Daniel continues, patting him on the back.
Nathan blinks in surprise. I mirror his expression. Daniel seems to have forgotten the enmity between them completely. That's good, at least for the time being.
"Then we were sitting on Max's roof and diving in his heated pool from there. It was wild!" Ryan says.
"Sounds like you had a lot of fun," Raven smiles.
The bell goes and we part ways to our homerooms, Nathan still walking with his arm around Raven. He lets go just as we reach the door and she walks inside ahead.
Nathan's hand slips into mine and squeezes it slightly just before we enter and then, he walks in alone.
Nonchalantly, as if he didn't just unleash a swarm of angry dragons in my gut with that simple touch.
I slide into the seat beside him, at the very back, hoping my ears don't look as red as they feel.
Ms. Brown tells us we're watching a short film and turns on the projector. Someone closes the window blinds, dimming the classroom. I take out my book to take notes.
Nathan's hand rests on my thigh and I nearly sigh at the touch. What I don't expect... is his hand to go higher. I'm so fucking thankful everyone is focused on the screen because my mouth is open in pleasure and shock.
He slowly palms me over my school uniform trousers, making shivers run on my whole body. I grab his wrist, push his hand off and glare at him, blushing like a tomato. He just smirks.
"Eyes on the screen Kai," he whispers.
I turn back to the front, trying hard to not imagine him bending me over this desk. I don't want a boner in fucking first class of the day!
His hand travels to me again. I'm about to slap it away but he just takes my hand and laces my fingers in his, smiling a bit.
I smile too, relaxing. He doesn't let go the entire movie, putting me in an even happier mood.
This boy is going to be the death of me.
