Under your skin
Feel my blood flow with yours
My heart beat with yours
Sharing this body as one
Save me as I save you
This skin holds enough room for two
Under my skin
I belong with you
As you belong with me

"You never told me if you made the team."
I looked over at Xavier, trying to figure out what he was talking about and then it clicked.
"Oh. I did. But then I got a glimpse of who my teammates were."
"Who?"
"VivalaGia and her minions of porcelain. So I'm not sure if I'll show up to first practice."
He leaned back in his chair, his fingers gripping the edge of the table as he rocked front and back. If he falls, ima walk away like I don't know him....
"Nessa made it seem like you really love gymnastics."
"I do. But I just know....this is going to be some mess. And I have more important things to worry about." I stated giving him a look and he nodded.
"I get it. But...." I rolled my eyes at him. It was always "but" something with this dude.
"But what?"
"Could be a useful distraction. Doing something you actually like, other than drawing or painting. Or ya know, hanging in my presence."
"You're so full of yourself, your own shit is spewing from your mouth. Cut it out."
"You so damn mean."
I laughed and closed my book before putting my full focus on him.
"What made you fuck with a white girl anyway?"
"She was around."
"She was around. It's nothing to do with that booty she tote?"
"I got no clue what you talkin bout."
I laughed at him and he smirked.
"Uh huh, sure."
"You got a cute laugh."
I felt my cheeks get hot and I looked away from him.
"Relax."
"Aye man....I seen you in some ways. Don't tell me to relax." He winked at me and brought his chair back down.
"Shut up."
"Exactly. So what we doing tonight after the game?"
"We?"
"Yes Rosaline. We. You and I."
I shrugged.
I won't lie and act like I wasn't having such a good time with Xavier. I just wasn't used to any guy being around me and not wanting sex.
If I'm being honest, I kind of craved it after all this time. And I was keeping myself at bay with my advances. I didn't want to scare him off. He actually had become my friend and I wouldn't mind if it was more than that.
