Kendalls POV
"So how will we keep him distracted on the day of?" I ask Julia as she shows me the venue she booked for my brothers surprise birthday party shes planning for him
"I was thinking.. you can ask to go driving...maybe.. get him to let you stay out for like an hour and then when i text you to come you just drive him straight to the party"
"Oh my god thats genius" i laugh as she nods
"Right, isnt it?" She says laughing as we hear keys turning in the front door and she immediately closes out her browser and slides her laptop under the cushion next to her as i turn on the TV in front of us, when chris walks in
"Oh hey.." i start
"Hey.. babe.." she stands up as he comes in with a box of pizza
Julia suddenly stops in her tracks
"Whats that?" She asks, a look of disgust on her face
"What? Pizza?" He laughs
"Whats on it?" She asks as i look, intrigued
"I got pepperoni with peppers, how you like it" he says as she looks like shes about to be sick
"I told you.. pork has been making me nauseous babe.." she says before running to the bathroom looking like shes about to hurl. I sit up on the couch, watching her hold her mouth before hurriedly locking herself in the bathroom.
"What the hell?" I ask as he sighs
"I forgot. Shes been so fucking nauseous lately, over everything" he says "i think its the water.. shes not used to it yet" he says before handing me the box and shrugging off his coat as i walk the pizza over to the dining room table, opening it up and breathing in the yummy creation from Guilliani's
"May I?" I ask
"Go for it" he says, walking towards the bathroom after her "babe?" He knocks as she audibly hurls into the toilet.
Poor Julia
I vaguely remember Chris and I also feeling sick from the water when we first moved here from Cali. The tap water in Jersey is disgusting. And it affects all the food and everything so that very well could be the adjustment she needs to make.

*on the phone*
"So do you think you survived the Chem final today?" Ray says, with his deep seductive voice
"Barely" i laugh "I swear Sister Harris is just trying to make our lives miserable. How about you? You were looking pretty lost over there." I tease
"Lost? Try completely gone. I have no idea how I was supposed to remember all those formulas. I dont think imma make it to senior year babe, you'll have to go on without me" he says as i laugh, rolling over in my bed, letting my hair dangle off the bed
"Bye i'll be right next to you taking chem again next year" i say as he laughs as well
"Nah, you're smarter than you let on.. acting like you needed my help, you got higher than me on the last two exams" he said as i giggle
"You're so cute when you're trying to explain it though" i pout as he laughs
"Yeah whatever man" he says as i laugh harder. "So, are you doing anything fun this weekend?"
"Not sure yet. I believe i have a game Saturday morning then work til 8. You?"
"Thinking of hitting up a movie with some of the guys. You should come with us, It'll be fun."
"Maybe..depends on what movie"
"Some scary shit i dont know" he laughs "come on, i need something to hold on to if i get scared." He says
"Wont Wren be there" i say, jokingly "surely you can hold onto him" i say
"Ha ha" he says unamused as i laugh harder
"Ill ask chris and let you know"
"Sounds like a plan then kenny" he says, saying my childhood nickname adorably as i smile softly at that
"My.. my dad used to call me kenny" i say, playing with my cross necklace that he gave me
"Oh really?" He says slowly "D-do you not want me to-"
"No.. i dont care... i.. yes, you can call me that" i laugh a bit "its sweet" i say "i.. i just never hear it really anymore" i say to him as he takes a beat
"Anything you need kenny baby, you know i got you right?" He says as i smile, rolling over, my hair falling over my face and cascading around my shoulders
"Yeah baby, i know" i say before looking to the clock to see '11:48' "but we should go to sleep babe" i start
"Oh shit its about to be 12" he laughs "okay yeah, i'll talk to you tomorrow.. at school.." he says and i dread this part every night
"Okay baby, goodnight"
"Goodnight.. dont let the bed bugs bite.." he says
"But they might..." we say in unison, laughing before that ping of longing rings in my chest.
I never want our conversations to end, even when we're talking about absolutely nothing, and exhausted. I just.. i love talking with him about everything.. and theres still so much we have yet to learn about eachother. I just cant wait to know more..
I cant wait especially to learn his body more.. ugh i miss-i hate to say this but.. i miss.. the touch of a man..
I miss... the adrenaline.. the energy.. the weight.. of his body on mine.. of Anthonys strong arms-EHM
i mean.. not.. not Anthony.. but just.. the feeling, you know.. I just.. i want that with Ray.. i absolutely cannot wait.. until we finally... get to experience that together.
"Ray.." i say, before we hang up
"Yeah baby"
"Can i.. ask you something?"
"Anything" he says easily as i struggle to find the words i want to ask
How do i even say this.. what am i asking
"Do you.. do you want to.. try things.. with me?"
"Like what?" He asks innocently
"Kendall.. lights out! School night" I hear Christian yell from the hall as he comes out the bathroom and heads to his bedroom
"Okay chris" i call back, drawing me out of my zone..
I dont need to ask this now.. later.. in person.. surely.. i'll try again
"Never mind baby, chris is.. chris'ing right now..i'll talk to you tomorrow" i state as he laughs
"You cant just leave me with a cliffhanger like that" he chuckles "what do you want me to try with you?"
"Sorry you'll just have to find out some other time" i tease as he laughs again
"Boooo" he says
"Night..." i trail before hanging up on him sending a '😘' text before turning out my light and getting fully under the covers
I dont want to scare Ray off.. but like.. a girl has needs..
Anthony understood them
Give him a chance, hes just being polite. He respects you.
And i like that of course, i just.. it's been a couple weeks now.. i'll bring it up, next opportunity i get.. that i want to.. take things.. to the next step..
Surely.. he's open to it.. i hope.
