Chapter 12: Lust and Other Issues I Face

Lacey was talking about how she was thinking about me the whole time during our little break-up.

We were still in bed, wrapped in each other's arms.

She is so warm, I thought.

"What's on your left arm, Eric?"

I cover my arm with her blanket. "Nothing to be worried about," I say quickly.

She climbs on top of me, putting her head on my chest. "Don't you trust me, Eric?"

Why does she want to see it so much, I thought.

She's looking at me with those eyes, and to be honest, I almost just show her my left arm.

She's not bad, but she has to try harder to get through me.

She comes closer and kisses my left cheek, then right cheek.

Then she comes to my lips, but I stop her.

"I don't know what you're doing, but it's not working."

She huffs as she sits on the bed. I see her chest, and just seeing it makes me filled with the things we both did earlier.

She looks at me, and looks at where I'm looking at. I could tell she was blushing, and I was going to reach her to come here, so maybe we can....

But she avoids my touch, and grabs my shirt and puts it on.

Fuck.

I take out my left arm, and show Lacey.

Lacey turns around, gasping in shock of what I wrote.

"Why, Eric...Why would you write such things.."

I stood up, walking up to my pair of pants and putting it on.

Then I walked to her.

"It's because of you, Lace." I say sadly.

She looks up at me, tears welling up in her eyes.

I sit there emotionless. I already did my grieving part.

I already was the sad one.

She hugged me, her embrace more than just a hug.

"I want to make it up to you, Eric," she says.

"Just be with me, that's all I want. I want you to be mine."

She kisses my lip with such ease, and she already shows me my answer.

Today was Thursday, and on these days I go to my favorite place:

The woods.

I do this every Thursday, just me by myself. Just for a little while, then I come back.

I've been doing this for about 3 years now, and almost every time I do I see something new.

After school I drive home to pack some stuff I'll need on the trip. I'll need a camera, hiking boots, and...

Oh yeah, my notebook.

So after I took my pictures, I drove back home to the house, and suddenly Lace popped in my head. Maybe I should check on her, I thought. I turn my car around to go to her house, just thinking of her in my mind. I came to her place, and knocked on the door.

The door opened to her, standing with a broom in her hands.

"Oh, hi Eric."

"Were you cleaning your apartment?"

"Yeah, since I had nothing else better to do, I just started to deep clean. Want to join?" She hands me the broom.

"Oh, sure. Where do I start?"

------------

After deep-cleaning her place, we sat down on the couch to just relax.

I noticed I had some texts from my parents, so I told them I was alright and was with a friend.

"So, where did you go after school, Eric?"

"Oh, just a place. Nothing much about it."

She looked at me, and just stared.

"Um, is there something wrong..." I ask.

She shook her head, and she came to me, putting me in a hug.

I look down to see her relaxed with me, both of us just sitting in peace and silence.

Before I closed my eyes, my phone started to ring.

"Damn, let me go take this. I'll be right back."

I step outside her place and answer the phone.

"Hello?"

The person never responded, only to hear breathing.

I swear, people get weirder and weirder each day.

I hang up the phone, and put it on silent.

All I wanted to do was just sit there in silence, and then Lace opened the door, asking if I was ok.

"Oh, I'm fine. Just something weird happened."

She grabs my hand and looks at me. "You sure that's all that happened? You look...tired."

I shook my head, and was greeted with a kiss from Lace, a long kiss before she laid me on the couch, unbuttoning her shirt.

I was just looking at the way she slowed down taking off her shirt. Then she looked at me with a light smile, and bit her lips.

Damn, she knows I love that.

I leaned up to her and took off the shirt.

Once that ends, I grab her close to connect my lips with hers.

We sync in movement, the way she's grinding on me...

I picked her up, and brought her to the bedroom.

"Eric.." She moaned, grinding against me.

Damn, her in this state is something else, I thought.
