The Introvert and the Football Player

Chapter Thirty One

March
Bo's POV:
I was on my way to talk to Nova. After her hospital visit, things were up in the air with us. It was like we traveled back to square one; only smiling and waving in the hallways. I had grown tired of it quickly, but I couldn't push her. We continued to not talk for a few weeks before she texted me and asked me to meet her today.  "I think we're ready to clear the air." She had told me. I pulled into Starbucks, but I couldn't find the strength to get out of my truck yet. All Eyes On You was playing through my speakers, and I could picture Nova when Chris Brown sang the chorus. I listened to the song all the way through before I got out. I could see her sitting by the window; her hair was now a brownish-blonde. She was still the most gorgeous girl I knew.

I didn't order a drink; I was too eager to talk to her. "Bo, you came." She told me, awe was clear in her voice. "Of course I did." I said, kissing her cheek before I sat down. I swear I could see her blush as she looked down at her coffee. "I miss you." I told her after she didn't say anything. "I miss you too but--" She said. "I didn't expect you to say it back. Just because I missed you doesn't mean I think you're gonna jump back to me. I just wanted you to know I missed you." I explained. She blushed again and the smile was evident on her face.  "We should get started talking yeah?" I asked. I wasn't trying to rush her, but I needed to know what was going on. She nodded as she looked out the window. "I'm sorry for what I said that day. It was rude of me, and you didn't deserve that. But Emily is a very sensitive subject for me." Nova told me. Her ocean blue eyes locked onto mine, and I refused to let my gaze falter. "You were only reacting how any normal person would. I should've told you from day one that I knew what happened with Emily." I admitted honestly. She looked back down at her coffee again and said "I know you weren't one of the guys who did that to her". Her voice sounded as hesitant as a child's now. "I didn't. I knew what the team was doing was wrong. I walked out of the room and that's when I ran into you." I told her. "I know. I talked to Billy about it." She said as she looked back up at me. She tracked down Billy? That took me by complete surprise. "When did you talk to him?" I asked her. "The other day when I felt like I was ready to talk to you again." She told me. I nodded and looked out the window for the first time since I got here. "So you really slept with someone else?" I asked. I already knew the answer, but I had to hear her say it. "Yeah. I can't say I regret it, but the whole time I wished it was you." Nova said blushing. I couldn't hide my smile from what she just told me. "I wish it was me too." I admitted. She cocked her eyebrow as if she was offering a challenge. I leaned over the table as if I was going to kiss her, but stopped just short and drank her coffee. I could hear the barely audible moan that came from her lips, and it was my turn to offer a challenge. "Let it be me." I said as I got up from the table.

Nova's POV:
"Let it be me." Bo had said. I sat there in Starbucks as Bo climbed into his truck. He smirked at me as he got behind the driver's seat and he looked at me as if he was begging me to come. I was majorly turned on by what he had said. "Let it be me." His voice echoed throughout my head. I practically ran out of Starbucks and got into his truck. "Is it going to be me?" He asked. I nodded, and as soon as the words left my lips he kissed me.
~~~~~~~~
We were at Bo's house since everyone was at mine. I was leaving hickeys all over his neck, but I stopped caring after I left Starbucks. He carried me up the stairs to his room, and for the first time since I met him I felt shy. The pace between us had slowed drastically. "You're so beautiful." He told me before kissing me slowly. Bo pulled my shirt over my head slowly like he was scared he'd break me or something. He moaned in appreciation as he took in the sight of me shirtless. "Nova we don't have to if you don't want to." He told me. Instead of answering, I pressed my lips to him and kissed him more. I took his shirt off and let my hands roam all over his chest. We were still standing by the bed kissing; neither of us rushing the other. He reached behind me to unhook my bra, and I latched my arms around his neck.  We walked backwards to the bed, and my bra flew to the floor when he dropped me onto the bed.

"So beautiful." He said again. I blushed under his heated gaze. I'd never been this shy with Harry or Jerome. With them it was always fast paced. I pulled Bo back down to me, and we kissed some more. I felt him fumbling with the button on my pants and giggled. I took his pants off at the same time he took mine off.

"I miss you." He said again before kissing me.  "And I you." I said before tugging down his boxers.

~~~~~~~~
I laid in Bo's arms after we finished. His eyes were closed, and sweat was glistening on his skin. "Baby." I whispered. I traced his chest with my fingertips, keeping my touch as light as feathers. "Nova." He moaned as I pressed my lips against his.  This was going to complicate things, but I didn't care; He wanted it as bad as I did.

He soon fell asleep, and I had to go. I got dressed as quietly as I could, and I stole his t-shirt. I debated on leaving a note or something for him so he didn't think I had sex and left for nothing.

~You fell asleep which is hella cute but I have to get home. Another babysitting night. Today was great and I'm glad we talked. And I don't regret what we did so you don't need to either.

April
Nova's POV:
"We don't have to take our clothes off to have a good time!" I sang along to the radio as I cleaned. "We can dance and party all night, and drink some cherry wine!"  I heard my family walk into the house then and I pulled Tommy in to dance with me.  We spun around the room for a few times, but he walked away as soon as One Direction started playing.

"You're in a good mood." My mother remarked. "It's finally spring. Everything's coming back to life." I said jokingly. She swatted me with a dish towel and laughed at me. "Beautiful girl." She murmured as I smiled at her. I blushed because the last time I was called beautiful, I was half naked. But of course I'd never tell my mother that. "But baby we're perfect!" I sang along with Harry Styles. "You're nearly 17, and you still listen to them?" My dad said as he came in from the garage. "Among other things, yes!" I told him. SoMo started playing, and there was no way my parents were going to hear what he sang.

~~~~~~

Ever since I had sex with Bo, we settled into a friendship that was awkward and tense. Neither of us could contain how bad we wanted each other when we were together, and being with a PDA-filled Valerie and Ashton didn't help. They made out practically the whole lunch period, and I desperately wanted to drag Bo to my car and do the same.

No one knew we'd had sex, and I was grateful for it. He always smirked at me when I'd catch him looking at me which usually ended up with us pressed into some back corner of the school with our lips pressed together. "You look good today Nova." Bo told me as I sat down. I blushed and told him thank you as I began to eat my food. Valerie hadn't looked away from Ashton to notice that we were here, but it was something we were used to.  "Hey guys." Ashton said as they finally noticed us. I smiled and waved at them, but I couldn't focus on their conversation. Bo had his hand placed on my thigh underneath the table, and to say it was distracting was an understatement. I realized that Valerie had asked me a question and when I tried to answer, the words got caught in my throat. Bo slipped his hand between my thighs, and I couldn't think of anything else but his hand.

"Bo meet me outside." I said as I ran out of the cafeteria. I could see him getting up as quick as I did, leaving Valerie and Ashton with confused looks on their faces.

A few minutes later I found myself pressed against the walls in the back of the school while Bo kissed my neck. He was leaving a hickey to make up for the ones I'd been giving him. I giggled as he groaned in frustration when the bell rang. I kissed his lips then and I backed away so I could pick up my book bag. "We'll finish this later baby doll." I told him as I walked off to class.
