This Is Me ( stud x fem )

Chapter 31 - Vulnerability

Lauren
Okay. I guess I should introduce myself properly. I am Lauren Stacks, CEO and owner of my own companies. I have taken a liking to Summer over the past years. Every time I see her, it's like the first time. When I first saw her, I said "Oh my. That's my dream." These years have been great. I put her through law school and made her America's sweetheart. Now... I love her. She just seems to be holding back on me. I cant hurt myself anymore.
I knock on her door that next morning.
There's a shuffling inside and then someone opens the door. It's her. My stomach catches butterflies like they always do when I see her, but this time I push them down. It's hard though because she has on a towel around her body and one on her head. I just can't help, but to wonder what's underneath and watch her wet hair fall on her body. Whew! Snap out of it Lo.
"Good morning, Miss. Seasons." I treat her as I would any client. "It's seven. You aren't ready. We have to take the jet to your hometown and be there by two o'clock sharp so we can make it to your photo signing."
Summer sighs. The bags under her eyes show my that she has gotten no sleep and the red tint in her eyes say that she has been crying. "Lauren, I lov-"
"No, Miss. Seasons." I begin. "Strictly professional between us. I'm sorry for ever crossing that line." But I wasn't sorry. I'm not sorry. I love her.
She turns before I could see that tear that has been forming this whole time fall and walks away towards her room. I follow her partially.
On the way I see Kent, who nods to be as to say 'hello'.
I nod back. This time, I don't follow Summer into her room. I just sit there in the living room, trying to convince myself I'm not watching her walk away.
1 hour later
Bang. Bang. Bang.
I'm beating on her room door. "Shesh! We're gonna miss the flight, girl! You better not be smoking in there. Or I swear to God!" Smoking is a habit she claims her first girlfriend started her with. I've terminated the habit it the past, but I can almost be certain that I smell Marijuana.
She exits the room and a thin smoke exits as she quickly closes the door behind her.
I curse under my breath. I can't see her like this. I walk to Kent. He already knows what I want.
"She's been smoking all morning, Lo." Kent never loses his posture. "I gave it to her."
I roll my eyes.
"Its my job, L."
Renzy exits her room and looks at the both of us and shakes her head. "Both of yall look like shit without each other. And S-Summer are you high?...." Renzy sighs. "Lets go."
I finally notice what Summer has on. "Summer, where are your clothes?" She has on a white crop top with white leggings that have a golden chain hanging on them. She also has on a golden neclace. I mean she's dressed nice, but she never dresses like this.
Summer chuckles. "Kent, how do I look?" She does a full turn. Owe, that ass though!
Kent swallows hard. "Damned good."
I eye him and he stands back at attention.
Renzy sits on the couch. "Fix her."
I grab her wrist and drag her into the bathroom. Of course I don't close the door. I wet a towel with cold water while making her sit on the toilet. I cover her eyes with it, trying to get rid on the swelling.
Summer makes noises that high people make, like slight moaning and murmuring. "Lo, kiss me."
I want to so badly, I start to say. "Summer... Why are you smoking like this? This isn't you."
I remove the towel. Her eyes still look red and swollen. I sigh and pull out my black and gold Ray Bandz and put the on her. I care too much about her.
I grab her wrist. "Let's go."

Raylynn
I get out of football practice the next day and guess who's sitting on my car? Sunny. Denting my shit up like always with a skateboard in her hand.
I smile. She's so predictable. It's cute. She waves at me, smiling.
"Double!" Somebody calls my name. I got that because my name I Raylynn Robinson. And Double R takes too long to say.
"Yea?" I turn around to see Sophie standing with her cheer uniforn on in her BMW'S doorway.
I walk over to her, and she touches all on my exposed stomach. "Good luck at the first game tomorrow." Her friend in the passenger side eyes me lustfully.
I bite my lip because her hands are so soft and she's so sexy. "Mnhmn."
She bites hers back. "I want ya to win. And if you do.... You get a prize." Sophie so goddamned fine.
I lick my lips. "And that is?"
Sophie smirks. "You can have me either way it goes Daddy, but if yall win..... you get her too." She looks back at some fine white girl, in thr passenger's seat in a leather mini skirt.
"Fuck yea," I say under my breath.
She leans in to kiss me and I touch her ass. When she moans in my mouth, I grip it. In between kisses, I see her friend out of my peripheral vision sucking on a sucker, watching us. She leans up and kisses me too. Damn.
I reach for Sophie's pussy and pay with it. She doesn't stop me. Car sex. Oh my god, yes.
Just as I reach for her friend's kitty, Sophie's stops me. "Have y'all won yet?"
I shake my head like a dog.
She frowns. "Then, no kitty."
"Damn," I mumble. "Sneak peek tonight?"
She shrugs. "Win."
I smile and walk away, fixing my basketball shorts.
When I approach my car, I notice that Sunny's not there anymore. Maybe I took too long. She couldn't have seen what was going on and gotten mad, could she? There were to many cars in between us.
I get in and notice a book during on my passenger seat. Must be hers. I'll drop it by her crib.
~•~•~•~•~•~
Ding-dong. I ring the doorbell and Sunny's big ass house.
There's a long pause and then I hear a monotone voice.
"What is it, Raylynn?" Sunny's voice appears to be coming from nowhere. She sighs. "The speaker, you moron."
I smirk. "Damn. That's cool. Uh... You gonna let me in, skater chick?"
There's a click. I try to open the door and it's unlocked. I walk in and am surprised by the expensive brown, leather furniture everywhere.
Admiring the house, someone scares the shit out of me.
"Raylynn?" Sunny calls as she emerges from the shadows.
I jump a little. "Uhm... you left your book."
"No, idiot. I actually got that for you." She rolls her eyes. "Too horny from Sophie Silverstein you can't think straight?"
I frown. "You saw that?"
"The part that my stomach could stand? Yea." She looks away. "I don't know why I care anyways."
I smirk. "'Cause you like me."
She roll her eyes. "Ha! For one, I'm not even gay. Two, you're too cocky. Three, even if I did like you... that's over. Goodbye."
Summer
When we get to the hotel in my hometown that night, there's a crowd surrounding it. It's not how I thought it'd be. Thinking I'd recognize someone's face (Ky) and fall right back in love at a glance. I don't even see her.
Once I make it in, Ky says there are three rooms. We always get three rooms; One for her and me, one for Renzy, and one for Kent. I smile. Thank God she's not changing these procedures. At least something is the same.
Once we make it upstairs she hands Renzy a key, Kent a key, and keeps one for her and me. Again, I'm blushing like an idiot. I knew she couldn't stay away from me.
Everyone walks in different directions. I, of course, follow her.
Lo turns around. "Summer, you're in a room with Renzy. Didn't you get the text?"
I frown. "I - I haven't looked at my phone. I just thought-"
Lauren keeps a straight face. "It would be more than professional if we shared my room. The rooms only have one bed in them. I cant imagine what it's like to sleep with you."
I almost cry as I turn around and try to find Renzy.
Lauren
My phone rings at 2:51. It's Summer.
I sigh and answer. "Miss Seasons?"
She's crying.
I automatically get out of bed. "What's wrong, baby?" I say out of habit. I curse mend for it in my head.
Summer sniffles. "You know I can't sleep in this town... by myself. I've been having the dreams."
"The Ray dreams, babygirl?" I ask. I know what Ray's done to her. Sometimes she had traumatizing dreams about it.
"Mnhmn," she cries.
I slip on some shoes. "Have you taken your medicine?"
"It won't work."
"Snuggie's coming." I open my door to go to her just to find get standing at it with the phone to her ear looking sad and adorable. She had on a tank top and some fluffy shorts and some bunny slippers.
She stretches her arms out. "Hold me."
I immediately hug her.
Kent eyes me. Kent's not just a worker, but my friend. I know he doesn't wasn't too see me hurt. I mouth "don't judge me". I'm not going to lie. I have a soft spot for her. I do.
I close the door and carry her to my bed. I lay down with her.
"Hold me, Snuggie!" she begs. "Please. I'm vulnerable."
