Crystal's Heart

XI. It was a mistake to hook up with him

Either there's something wrong with me.

Or something is wrong with him.

But, who's to say there isn't something wrong with the both of us?

Ricardo's eyes move to my lips. "Tell me you want this too." His voice sounds more strained than usual.

I told myself to slow down my breathing, but it didn't happen. It was as fast as the pounding in my chest. My fingers curled into the blanket when his hard waist pressed against mine.

"My cousin will kill you," I said.

Ricardo inched forward, "I'd like to see him try."

My heart beat faster and faster as Ricardo's face came to my own until his lips met mine.

I never expect myself to fall into this predicament. Especially not with the guy who doesn't even remember me. I mean, we did meet only once for like five minutes but it doesn't give him the right to forget about me. I think.

I don't know.

My brain is in a mush.

Ricardo's bare chest pressed against my breasts and when I parted my lips, his tongue dived in.

I'm so screwed.

Tutoring Ricardo in secret is one thing.

Fooling around with him is another.

My arms wrapped around his neck and I brought him closer.

But that's a problem for tomorrow me to handle.

Our kiss wasn't like the movies, but rather clumsy. Once in a while, our teeth clank against one another as if neither of us knew what to do. But, maybe that's it, we didn't.

At least for me, I didn't.

And from his shaky breathes, I don't think he knows either.

When he moves away, his eyes open at the same time as mine.

Ricardo smiled softly, and my stomach churned.

Why is he smiling?

Do I have something on my face?

There's a sudden rush of rain from outside but neither of us paid attention to it.

Ricardo leans downward and kisses me again. Except this time, it was less clumsy.

I'm so fucked.

Not because of this kiss, but because I like it.

It's a good thing the next day is a Saturday or how else could I explain to Leslie about this situation I'm in?

Right now, I'm laying in Ricardo's arms after a long night of making out.

Ricardo groaned lightly before he turned towards me and rested his other arm above me. His morning wood greeted my thighs.

I smacked his stomach and he grunted. "Move. I need to pee."

Ricardo moved his arm away and I got off the bed. Then, to the bathroom, I go to reflect on my life. 

By the time I finished getting ready, Ricardo was still asleep. I kick his side, "Wake up. Get out."

He rest an arm over his face, "You'd think you'd be a bit nicer after what we did."

I glared at him, "I let you sleep past our regular hours."

"It's Saturday." He pulled up the blanket, "Let me sleep a bit longer."

"I have to leave." I got on the bed and shook him, "I have to get break-"

Ricardo grabbed my body and flipped me onto the bed. I smacked his face away, "Your morning breathes sucks. Go brush your teeth."
