Pleasing

Jennifer POV

I munch on my chips and carefully dip it into my salsa. "Thanks sky." I say after swallowing. She looks at me and then at Zenday.

You ever see people look at each other and silently communicate? It's happening NOW.

"W-what?" I ask confused, "who were you with last night?" Zenday asks and I quickly say "Lolita." I shrug. "So how'd you get those swollen lips and hickeys?" Sky crosses her arms. My face quickly heats up and I lower in my chair. "I-uh.." I cough shoving more chips in my mouth but they quickly take it away.

"Someone, okay?" I huff crossing my arms. "Whom are we talking about?" They both ask fascinated. "Just a guy I've been talking to for a while... we didn't do anything but make out. Simple." I stare at them confidently. "What's his name?" Sky asks and I hesitate. "Marcel." It just pops out my mouth and they nod.

"Can I go to the shower now?" I ask with a huff and they nod. I quickly hop off the chair and walk to the very needed bathroom. I turn the shower on and soon check myself in the mirror.

He really did make my lips swollen... there was only 3 hickeys but one of them where we both discovered my sensitive spot... was more big. More noticeable. The dip in my neck. One was near my ear and the other was slightly on my collarbone. My eyes trail to my hips and a faint hand print was shown. I place my hands there and I laugh lightly knowing the print barely fit my hand size.

Big hands from a big pine tree!

I miss him.

No, Jennifer it's okay! He'll come back. He promised.

"Jennifer, I promise just one week. One more week. I'll be able to have you in my arms." He mumbles intertwining our hands. I nod slowly as I quickly walk out leaving both of us feeling weird...

My legs slowly enter the shower and hit the bottom of the tub.

I take deep breaths and shut my eyes.

2 weeks later

I sigh plopping on my bed after a long day of school. Walking and standing and blah blah blah.

My phone rings and I sigh picking it up, Zenday!

"I need you out the house in 30! Please jenny! I need this date tonight to be perfect!" She screams and I stay silent...

"I- okay." I mumble getting up, "for the night? O-or like- no wait it's fine if it's overnight!" I ramble and she sighs. "Yes overnight girl." Zenday says and I bite my lip. "O-okay.." I say packing a small bag. I can stay at a hotel or something.. sky and Noah are out for the month.

I could call Michelle!

I quickly dial her up and wait for her to answer.

"Hey!" She beams and I laugh softly at her energy. "H-hey so I kind of need a place to stay.. and I was wondering- of course! I've been wanting to have you over! My brother is here though if that's okay?" She says and I hum saying it's okay.

"Okay it's like a 30 minute walk so I'll be leaving now!" I say and she says okay. "Sorry I can't drive! We don't have a car.." she huffs and I shake my head. "It's fine!" I reassure and she says okay.

It's still light out so I quickly grab my longboard and lock the door.

I take deep breaths watching the sunset before getting onto the board. I slightly fix my posture and use my calves until they burn and I take a break at a bus stop. Hehe.

I drink some water knowing I have a good 20 minutes to go.

Marcel...

Why does he have to be in my head right now...

Freak! I miss him so much! He said one week, why did he lie? Or maybe he promised to come back?

I quickly get back on my board not wanting to be riding in the dark.

I play some Melanie Martinez in my headphones but make sure I only have one earbud in.

The whole ride Marcel was on my mind. I stop at a park seeing a bunch of people.

I sit down and pull my phone out sighing. I go to contacts and I hesitate to call him or not.

What's wrong with calling? What's the worst that can happen?

My thumb presses his contact and I quickly press the dial button.

It's ring.

Rings.

And rings.

And rings.

"Chaton." I hear and I gasp so happy to hear his voice. It was groggy, more than usual. "Marcel..." I whisper almost as if I was too loud the call would end. "Why are you up so late?" He asks with some shuffling. "I uh... walking to a friends- what?" He asks more stern. "Where are you?" He asks and I bite my lip. "I-I'm fine.." I whisper and he sighs. "Chaton, tell me now." He says.

I could just tell he was getting up and putting something on.

What a surprise... it was raining. It started raining!

He chuckles softly "now you have to tell me." His tone changed more deep. I sigh telling him where I was and he hums. "Good girl." He says before hanging up.

Oh god.

It was pouring and I was wearing leggings with a shirt sleeve and a soaked sweatshirt. My shoes were soaked and it was gross!

I look up soon seeing that pretty red car pop up. Marcel quickly runs over scooping me up. "Are you okay!" He asks as he rushes to the car and I nod. "Yeah." I mumble against his chest. I quickly get into the car and the heat was on which felt amazing. Once he got in he sighs staring at me. He puts my hair up in a bun and I giggle softly.

"Merde, you're fucking freezing." He groans looking in the backseat.

"Put this on." He distracts handing me some sweats and a shirt. I slowly look at him wondering how expects me to put them on...

"It's tinted." He comments and I nod.

He starts the car and keeps his eyes on the road as I quickly put them on. I unclip my bra and frown at how it's slowly peeling off my lace. I tuck it under the rest of the wet clothes and socks.

"Thank y-you." I whisper tugging at the shirt. He grips my hands and slowly rubs them. Everything about him was big...

"I didn't know you skateboard." He smirks at him and I blush. "I learned from my brothers." I respond, it's weird. "Marcel." I speak looking up at him. "Chaton." He responds and I furrow my eyebrows with hesitation. "Is the waiting over? Or is this just- it's over." He says letting me play with his rings.

"You destroyed my neck." I pout looking at him.
