I'm Over It

Chapter Six: Slowing It Down

"LUCAS!!!"

Why was she being so loud? Lucas was in the gaming room with his dad playing Call of Duty when we walked in. "What do you want idiot," He asked. Man, he's such a jerk sometimes. "Have you not seen the post Peter made," Rose said upset. "No, I blocked him on everything. As a matter of fact, I never had his stuff," Lucas said nonchalantly. Rose grabbed Susan's phone and showed him the picture.

I was ready for him to get upset, but instead he began to smile. I was confused until he began to blush to the point where I could see it, AND HE'S BLACK!!! "You dufus!" I hit him on the arm, and he flinched in pain. He was laughing hysterically. I was smiling when he got dead serious. It was kinda hot if I'm being honest, especially when he grabbed me by the waist. I was blushing real hard because his hand went towards my butt, but then he snatched my phone out my back pocket and walked away. "W-what was that" I said as I stood there in shock. "Something tells me this has something to do with that photo." I turned away from the direction in which Lucas walked and looked at Susan. I had conflicting feelings about her now. I mean, at first, I hated her guts, but now she's sticking up for me and stuff. I still couldn't trust her yet.

"Peter, you dumb... I will destroy you, you..." The amount of cussing that came from that room was crazy. I didn't even care that much, so why was he making such a big deal out of it? Ms. Rogers came out of the kitchen due to the language being used. "... you better keep Natalie out your..." Ms. Rogers didn't turn the door handle. Instead, she looked at me as sweetly as she could and said, "Are you hungry?"

I didn't get to answer because she dragged me into the kitchen. She put a plate of cookies and a glass of milk in front of me. I was mad that she had kicked me out, but at the same time I was hungry. I was almost done with it when Lucas walked in looking furious. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into his room. At first, I thought that it was for "friend time," but when I looked at him, he didn't look like himself.

"Lucas... are you okay? Pulled me in and began to kiss me aggressively. I didn't fight it; I simply question what happened. He pushed onto the bed, and I wasn't sure how to react, but for some reason... I kinda liked how he was being pushy. As we were kissing, his hands began to slide down thighs. "Woah, Lucas, what are you doing," I said pushing away from him. "I'm only 17." He looked at me with such curiosity in his eyes. "Sorry, I keep forgetting you're a baby," he said teasingly. "How long until you turn 18? About a week..." I guess he didn't want me to talk to talk anymore because he began kissing all over again. I was going to push away because I thought it was so wrong, but it felt so right.

As we continued to kiss, he began to unbutton my shirt. I was too mesmerized in that moment to even realize. Soon enough, I began to tug on his shirt like it wouldn't come off. We were body to body when Rose walked in. "Hey guys, are yall okay-" she just looked at us. The shame that came over me as she stared was enough to make a person want to die where they were standing. "Use protection." I stopped and looked at Lucas only to find out he was looking at me too. "Were we really about to..." I trailed off. "Yeah," Lucas said scratching his neck. He pulled me close and just laid on my shoulder. At first, I thought it was romantic until I realized that he was nibbling on my neck. "Really!? Right now," I exclaimed humorously. "What, I'm hungry. You tasted like cookies," he said as he sat up.

"Hey, can you still stay in my room tonight?" I looked at him like he was crazy. "I'm not trying to sleep with you, well... I am, but now in that sense!" I couldn't see it on his face, but I could tell that he was flustered. "Yeah, why not," I sighed. Lucas climbed into the bed and motioned for me to join him. I came up to him and sat in between his legs. Mind you, we still have our shirts off. He put his hand on my stomach and we both watched Tik Tok on my phone.

I had just turned off my phone and me and Lucas were cuddling when he asked me a question: "What are you doing tomorrow?" I was a tad startled by the question but told him I was only going to help at the school again. "Don't, we're going on a date tomorrow." I was expecting to say something else, but when he didn't, I just scooted closer to him and put my hand on his chest.

"Why are you so gorgeous," I asked as I moved his locs out of his eyes. His soft hazel eyes stared into my dark earthy ones. At least in the dark, In the light, they sparkled, at least that's what Rose tells me. He kissed me on my forehead and said, "I just wish I was half as beautiful as you." He was so cheesy, but then again that's one of the things I like about him. All of sudden, he popped up and began to laugh. "Hey, Nat."

I looked at him like he was crazy but decided to play along. "Yes, my love?"

"Are you food? Cuz my mind is always on you," he said biting his bottom lip. I began to laugh hysterically. "It's cuz I like food ain't it!?" I pretended to hit him, and he just hugged me. "You liked that, didn't you," he said smugly. I loved seeing his smile because his dimples were deeper than the ocean.

An hour later, he was knocked out. Before he passed out, he had grabbed me by the waist and would not let go. At first, I was a tad bit annoyed, but I personally enjoyed the body heat.

"Listen, you gotta stop popping up. Natalie is starting to suspect something."

Was that Susan's voice? What did she mean? What was I figuring out? I was trying to get up to see what was going on, but Lucas wouldn't let go of me. "Worth the wait," I thought. Since I was having a hard time going to sleep, I decided to look at Lucas a little more in depth. The was his long dark locs complimented his hazel eyes was unbelievable. Not to mention the fact that he had a muscular man bod that I literally gawked over. To top it all off, he had an ear piercing that goes from the top of his to just above his ear lobe. That and a tongue piercing was enough to make me scream, especially because he likes to kiss me when he has it in.

We had gone to get them together, so I had those and more. Instead of getting a tongue piercing, I got a lip piercing, I have the same ear piercing, I have a nose piercing, and I have a stomach piercing. However, unlike Lucas, I don't wear mine everywhere. I should start wearing them more often though. I wore them just long enough so that the hole wouldn't close up when I didn't have them in for long periods of time. When we first got it, Lucas stuck his tongue out hundreds of thousands of times, mostly because I was the one to check whether or not it had gotten infected.

As much as I loved the body heat, I got up because he was so gorgeous, I can't be seen as mid. I put my piercings in because I thought that I looked better with them in. So, I went to go look in the mirror that was on the back of his door and saw that I was actually really... I was there.

I paid close attention to myself, making sure I saw all of me. I saw the way my body curved, and my caramel skin clung to it. Knowing how my eyes looked already, at least to people who see them, I was amazed at how mysterious they looked when my bangs are down. They're usually down, but in this house, I felt comfortable being myself. Then, I look at the tattoos of vines all over my body. I got them to represent that I was guarded. I hate when people ask why considering that I have scars everywhere. They're from all my past trauma that everyone has. I began to touch the scars and got extremely self-conscious. Why me? What did I do that was so wrong? I was about to have a panic attack when from behind me I heard:

"Calm down."
