Mine For A Moment

Chapter 8

Micky

I laid in bed that night with the biggest smile in the world on my face. Malani was talking about something that happened at work, and I pretended to listen, but all I thought about was my kiss with Kayon. I ran my fingers across my lips, imagining his against mine still. Good thing we were in bed with the lights off, she'd be mad I'm not listening.

I was really wishing she'd hurry and go to sleep so I can sneak in his room, and wait under the covers until he gets home from work.

"Micky?" She called out into the dark.

"Yeah,"

"We never talked about that one day,"

Damn, and I didn't want to. I wasn't trying to lead her on, I just thought she needed to get one off. Now, imma seem like a bad guy. "What would you like us to talk about?"

"I don't know...I um, I really enjoyed it, maybe we could do it again."

Fuck, this is all my fault. I don't want to make her uncomfortable, but I wasn't trying to go there with her again. "Lani, honestly...I did that for you."

"For me?"

"Yeah, I wanted to make you feel good, I just enjoyed watching you reach your peak." No matter how nicely I tried saying it, it felt wrong.

There was a long silence.

"Oh, of course. I knew that, goodnight Micky." Her voice softened.

"Lani, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

She didn't respond.

"Lani?" I tried again.  Still no answer, so I stood up and walked over to her bed.

"What Micky?"

"Scoot over,"

"I'm fine,"

"Scoot over.." she scooted so I could climbed in bed with her. I put my arm around her. "We're better friends."

"I like you as more, and I don't know how to turn that off..."

"You just like how I look now, and I get it because you have hit puberty too. You are sexy to me, no doubt about it. The other day was nice, but you know I like...."

"Kayon." She cut me off.

"Guys, I was going to say guys."

"Yeah, but specifically him. I feel bad for you because he is never going to go that way and I don't want you to have a broken heart."

I smiled because she doesn't know about the small encounters I've had with him. In a sense, she's probably right. It may never go beyond his room or the living room, but it's okay.

"Let's, just go to bed."

She scooted more into me. "Okay," I massaged her scalp until I heard soft snoring.

Kayon

Mr. Bailey was growing tired of my random zoning out. But Micky lips lingered on my mind, my lips, my neck. I ain't going to lie, I keep checking the time because I'm ready see him.

"You might as well call it a night...you been somewhere the whole day." He handed me one hundred and twenty dollars.

"Sorry and thank you," I almost ran out the back door.

I jumped on my bike and started home. It was a quiet night, most people were already inside, and just a couple streetlights guided the way home. I barley made it up the steep driveway, before hopping off my bike. I practically sprinted down the hallway and twisted the knob to my door, to find him laying across my bed. I locked my door, then turned back to see him smiling. I pulled off my hoodie and kicked off my khakis and sneakers. I walked over to the bed, leaned down, holding myself up with my fist. I kissed his lips, then just kept my lips pressed against his. "I have waited all day to do that.
