Seventeen

"Thank God," I said to myself when I was locked inside the bathroom. There was only one line on the test. The digital stated I was not pregnant. I dodged a bullet this time and I was so happy. With delight, I wrapped the tests around some toilet paper and dumped it inside the bin. Oh goodness, I was playing with fire with those boys. If it was positive, there was a chance it could be Malachi's. Or it could have been Casey's. This was not the case with me.

My period was in two days which was going to happen and I was like so happy about everything. I walked out with so much joy. Casey who was lying down on the bed with a tablet in his hand, looked up at me. "I'm rescheduling the flight. We will be leaving in a week."

"That sounds good." I tapped my hands together and stopped walking when I felt something pouring down my underwear. I looked down at it and yes, lady period came just at the right time. "Oh my God, my period came."

Casey who didn't seem that fond of it, shrugged. "That is good. Why are you very happy?"

"I've been waiting for it to come and it did. Hopefully, I'll be on the trip without it because it only lasts five days." The universe loved me for letting my time of the month come. I was a very lucky girl. "Don't mind me. I need to take a shower." I rushed inside the bathroom and took care of myself in there.

"What are you making?" I asked Casey. I got on myself comfortable sweats and a short-sleeved shirt while Casey had an apron with his sweatpants and a plain shirt.

"I'm making lasagna for lunch," he said. I didn't know he was good at making stuff like that. He was very busy in the kitchen. "You're going to love it, Kali. I make the best ones."

"Ooh la la, I can't wait."

He chuckled softly. "Go occupy yourself with something, beautiful. When I'm done we will have dinner in the kitchen." He walked away from the counter and kissed me on the lips. I left him with being a chef for the day since I wanted to make some things soon and went to the pool area for fresh air.

I sat down on a chair with a book in my hand. Text messages from Malachi disturbed me.

Malachi: You need to send the other amount. So far, I only have 5 grand. Send me 10 soon.

Me: Will you be able to accept that and just call it trice? I do not have access to any more money.

Malachi: That wasn't part of the plan. If you don't send me 20 grand in 48 hours, I'm going to post an embarrassing photo of you online.

Me: GO AHEAD. Do it. We are over Malachi. I don't want to talk to you anymore.

Malachi: Meet me at the house tonight. Let us discuss some things.

I deleted his messages and touched my heart which was beating so much. How was I going to do this? Casey would find it very suspicious to leave the house very late at night. Telling him that I had to spend some time with my mom would work. It also raised suspicions.

"There you go," Casey said as he placed a plate on the table. He sat down next to me and we began eating. I had to say he was right when he said he makes some good lasagna. I just could not have enough of it.

"It is delicious, Casey. I love the way you made it."

"Thanks, Love."

After lunch, he got up and laid out the plates on top of each other. "If you get hungry later, I have some more in the fridge."

I stood and just stayed right there looking at his loving expression. His eyes were smiling so much too, that cute little wrinkle below his eyes of blue. My heart was still skipping beats whenever I was around him. I loved Casey so much. "You made a lot didn't you?"

"It's always best to have leftovers." He slowly released a breath and held onto my shoulders. The very long eye contact and his overall warm look were just enough to make me love him even more. I loved that boy. "Do you want to get out tonight?"

"To where? I'm bleeding excessively. You know period problems."

"You can't let it stop you, babe. I can take you to the movies if you want to. We can enjoy some time at Houston's most notorious boardwalk. Enjoying the outdoors with you would be fun. You know I love taking you places."

I laid a finger on his stomach and moved it downward, reaching the waistline of his sweatpants. He looked at me with so much lust in his eyes while I played with him. "I want to please you." I winked. "With my mouth. I loved blowing you."  There was a massive bulge in his pants that was so inviting, so ready.

Casey took hold of my wrist. "You can blow me after we take a nap together. I hope you are still on to outdoor fun later today." He lifted me and brought me to the master bedroom.

Casey and I were laughing hard at videos of him when he was younger. He had so many of them on his phone. His parents and siblings were in the living room, looking at their son doing some crazy little magic tricks. A young Casey had a pack of cards in his hand and wanted his family's attention. "I had ADHD. This is why I keep telling them to please look over and over."

"Don't say that, Casey. You were so damn cute."

"I was 9 here."

"Cute."

He also showed me videos of a young Lauren and him during high school. Lauren's blonde hair was straightened and it fell upon her waist, almost like Rapunzel. They were next to a tall Christmas tree, very much in love. The ugly sweaters on their body were too cute. Casey kissed her and for some reason, I wished I had this kind of love in high school. Jim was just a faker all along.

"She was very beautiful."

Casey shifted on the bed. "She was my Lauren." He stopped looking at the videos to have his attention on me now. "Have you ever had a cozy Christmas moment with Jim? Relaxing by the tree, enjoying lots of times under a mistletoe."

"Jim spent too many times looking underneath my skirt to care about a cozy Christmas."

Casey bit his lips. "If I was Jim I would have enjoyed that and cozy precious times. He should have made you feel precious."

"He had an obsession with cheerleaders. I get to see him stare at me with my tiny little skirt. That skirt would be lifted every time he takes me to a classroom that's no longer in use. He would take me to a park and make love with me in his car, with my skirt over my hips. Yes, he would love pushing it up and doing so many naughty things with me. All he wanted was sex."

A flush appeared on Casey's cheek, his gaze exploring my face with so much longing. "Woah just woah. I wish I was in your age group and attended your school. For fucks sake, I wished I was Jim."

"Casey, can you please see where I'm getting at?"

"You can't blame him. You're fucking hot. If I was in his place, I wouldn't be able to resist you. I would protect you at all costs and take you everywhere. I wouldn't have used you to get homework done. You would be my queen. Unfortunately, that wasn't quite the case with you and Jimmy boy."

"Well, I wasted my time with him."

"Some high school love wasn't meant to last forever babe. Lucky you, you have me."

I looked down. "I think I should take care of myself in the bathroom. Girl duties." Casey slapped my ass when I came off the bed.
