Zaneâs smile touched his eyes, and I had to bite my lip to hide my relief, âOh do I now?â
I nodded, âYou promised me a kissâŠone that I would enjoy.â
His smile slowly disappeared, but the calm and soft look in his deep brown eyes didnât, âMaybe we should save that for another night?â
That note somewhat disappointed me, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that by saying âanother nightâ he was promising future nights like this, just the two of usâŠstill!
âWhat if I die tonight? Then Iâll be gone without the one thing you promised me.â I said teasingly, but Zane tensed against me. He froze and looked into my eyes, searching for something. He gulped harshly, and let out a shaky breath.
âIâm sorry. Did I say something?â
Zane quickly shook his head, and then closed the space in between us, touching his lips to mine. I let out a quick breath of relief before wrapping my arms around Zaneâs neck and crushing his body even harder against me. Despite my best efforts, I squealed, and I could feel Zane smile against my mouth.
The only down side to this kiss, though, was, we both still had our skates on. Zane tried his best to stay in place while kissing me, but I could feel myself sliding.
I squealed again and then giggled, as I slipped. Zane grasped me tighter, making sure that I didnât fall and ruin the moment, but after a moment Iâd start sliding again.
âAh, curse you and your two left feet,â Zane mumbled against my mouth as he pushed off the wall so that we were now propped up against the wall that I had collided into.
It didnât take long for me to get the hint.
Quickly I sat on the edge of the wall and let my hands wonder from Zaneâs thick black hair, to his neck, making sure that our lips never parted. The kiss, before I even realized it, escalated from an innocent kiss of liking to infatuation.
The kiss quickened and grew deeper. His tongue tasted my lips, and I welcomed the familiar yet odd taste of him. I let my tongue collide with his, and I moanedâdespite myselfâas I reveled in the amazing and spicy taste of his mouth.
My whole body grew warm, the longer the kiss lasted. Butterflies in my stomach began their little tap dance, and little sparks of excitement lingered on my hot flesh every place Zane caressed my neck, my cheek, leaving a little trail of blush. Zaneâs hands then wondered to my butt and a giggle escaped my lips. I didnât want to, but innately I pulled back from his lips.
âWe should probably get started on that drawing project?â
I nodded and Zane and I slowly skated off the roller rink, to go work on our projectâŠonly that didnât happenâŠ
âNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Youâre such a cheat!â I yelped when I walked into my living room to see Noob beating up a beautiful Jade on the TV, from Mortal Kombat.
âWhat? Youâve been beating my ass anyway!â Zane complained as he continued to punch the buttons on the game controller waking me (Jade) in the face with a huge rock hammer.
âSo?! Itâs not my fault you suck at video games!â
âUh, at this one it is! You donât even give me any time to hit you back! You incessantly whack me with that stupid stick of yours!â Zane yelped defensively once the TV went black with the letter K.O. shining bright on the screen changing to the next level. Then he chuckled as if just realizing how wrong, what he just said, was. When I just stared at him he explained, âYou know? You whacked me with your stick? A stick is another name for aââ
âI know what it means, Zane! Youâre so immature!â I said as I rolled my eyes and ran to the other side of the couch where my game controller was.
âAwww, Iâm sorry,â Zane mumbled dramatically.
âUh-hu, sure you are?â I mumbled as I selected the arena for the next fight and hit start. The moment the big numbers on the screen counted down from three revealing Jade in her sea green genie outfit, and Noob in his all black mummy looking suit, I hit âbâ. A huge spear shot out from Jadeâs hands and as fast as I could I began to hit the âaâ button over and over and over and over. Before Zaneâs character Noob, could even react, the screen was turning black with the letter K.O. flashing bright.
âOh! Seriously?â Zane complained.
I just laughed and stood up to hop and down in front of him, âOh! What now, beâatch?â
Zane laughed, âOkay. Rub it in, why donât yaâ.â
âAwww, Iâm sorry,â I said in a mocking tone, âDid I take away your masculinity?â
Zane huffed, âNot even close,â before grasping me by my hips and pulling me toward him so that I was straddling his lap.
I giggled, but more because I suddenly became nervous then because I was amused. âYouâre such a Noob,â I muttered and Zane chuckled.
Slowly the amusement faded and my breathing caught in my throat. Zane slid his hand up the side of my torso to my cheek and ran his hands through my hair.
I looked into his dark brown eyes as they looked at my strawberry blond hair. He looked so content and relaxed, just rubbing my split ends of straight hair in between his finger tips. And I donât know how or why, but that one look made me thinkâŠwho was he?
Zane, heâs so different from anyone Iâve ever knownâŠso far. I really like the guy, but truth is, despite the fact that I went to school with him for more than eight years, I barely know him? I donât know his favorite color, like I do Ginaâs. I canât look at him and know what heâs thinking, like I can Lucy. I donât even know if he prefers football or baseball, âZane?â
âYeah?â
âTell me something about you,â I said as I let my head fall onto his broad shoulder, suddenly feeling tranquil.
Zane sighed, âOh, like what?â
âI donât know. Anything! Tell me something no one knows!â
âWell, I could tell you my size, but that would ruin the surprise.â
âIâm serious, Zane,â I said with an introverted smile, as I punched his arm playfully.
âOkay, umâŠIâve kind of had a crush on you since the third grade.â He said, mimicking my shy smile.
âReally? Since third grade?â I asked with disbelief.
âWellâŠmaybe not that early, but maybe junior high, yeah.â
âAwww, thatâs so cute, âI yelped and Zane rolled his eyes, âOkay, you keep doing that and my manliness will indeed vaporate.â
âYou mean evaporate.â
âWhatever! Quit correcting my grammar, god dammit!â Zane kiddingly scolded me, making me snigger, as I nuzzled my cheek into the soft, warm, and smooth, curve of his neck, âZane?â
âMore questions?â
âJust oneâŠâ
âAsk awayâŠâ
âIs thisâŠis this real?â
Zane backed up a bit, to look meet my eyes, one eye brow cocked in uncertainty, âWhat do you mean?â
âI mean,â I sighed noisily unsure of how to say what I was wondering in my head, âIs thisâŠ.just a fling, orâŠmore?â
âThat depends.â Zane said matter-o-factually.
âOn what?â
Zane sighed, flipped me off his lap and back down onto the couch. He planted each one of his hands next to my face on the couch, and slowly lowered his mouth to mine, but stopped when we were only inches apart, âIf you want me only for my body?
Chapter Fifteen
With my fingers laced with Zaneâs in a tight yet comfortable hand hold, we walked into school. I was immediately aware of all the staresâunlike the oblivious Zaneâbut it didnât bother me like it usually would have. I was happy, and I didnât care what anybody said.
âWant to play the question game?â I asked, wanting to learn more about Zane, but not exactly sure how to start the conversation.
Zaneâs eyebrows cocked with curiousness, âThe question game?â
âYeah,â I said with a shrug, âI ask a question. You answer it, then you ask me a question, and I answer it. Itâs not hard.â
âIf itâs anything like Mortal Kombat, itâs going to be way difficult.â
I laughed, âYou go first!â
âOkay, umâŠnumber one building you want to burn down?â
My jaw dropped with laughter, âWhat? Itâs a question isnât it?â
I shook my head, but thought for an answer anyway, âUm, probably my church.â
Zane busted out laughing, âHey, youâve never been there. All the people at my church are snobby and self-centered.â
âOkay, then itâs your turnâŠâ
âUmâŠfavorite color?â
âRed.â
âWhy red?â I asked curiously, thinking that was an odd color for a boy to like.
Zaneâs smile grew into a devilish smirk and he winked, âBecause thatâs the color of the bra you wore today.â
I innately looked down, and saw about a centimeter long strip of red lace popping out from my shirt. Quickly, I adjusted my posture and playfully slapped Zane on the arm.
âAlright, alright! Whatâs yours?â
âUgh, blue!â
âOh! Guess what? Thatâs the color of my underwear! Iâm telling you Ashley, this is destiny!â I giggled incessantly for the whole entire school day, as we went back and forth asking the most ridiculous questions and giving the most ridiculous answers.
It started out as simple questions; whatâs your favorite color, favorite movie, do you hate Justin Bieberâthat was a yes for both of us, but by the end of the day during Study Hall, our last period of the day, the questions were getting more and more intimate and personalâŠyet funny.
It started with, âBoxers or briefs?â
I held in a giggle, trying to stay quite since this was a âsilent study hall periodâ, âWhy you asking me? Youâre the one that wears them?â
âIâm asking which ones you prefer.â Zane said with another one of his devilish grins; the smirk that I no longer found annoying or disgusting immature. I found it extremely sassy and sexy now, and thatâs all he had to do to make me blush, anymore.
âWhat about sports boxers? You left those out.â
Zane huffed, âI left those out for a reason. No guy looks good in Speedos, and thatâs pretty much all it isâŠso! Back to the question, boxers or briefs?â
âOr boxer-briefs?â I added and Zane sighed, âSure, why not?â
I thought for a moment, letting my imagination conjure up some ridiculous internal photo shoots of Zane in different types of underwear, âUm, well briefs are fairly similar to Speedos as well, so those are out.â
Zane made an exaggerated sigh of relief, âIâd have to go with boxer-briefsâŠunless you have a pair of white boxers covered in red hearts!â
Zaneâs smile grew, but his brows creased in skepticism, âAre you serious?â
âYes, Iâm serious,â I said with a quite giggle, âI always thought that clichĂ© was so cute.â
âGreat! Now Iâve got to go underwear shopping!â
