Drips

Chapter Three

We enter the hotel. The lobby smells clean, it looks well kept, fancy sort of. We get the keys to the room and race to the elevator with laughter and giggles. We're happy; happy together. We get to floor 42. Walk to room B117. Odd numbering system I think to myself. He opens the door and I run to the bed. I settle in. The room smells like a park, open and airey. He opens his suite case and I start to get undressed. I take off my shirt, then slip off my pants. I stand in front of the full size mirror. I touch my stomach.

Look at my tube. I say.

Babe, don't worry. You're perfect. Just remember you ate and did great. He replies.

I love you.

I love you too.

I look up at my red lace bra, then I look down at my black lace panties. They have a red bow on them and a red heart on the back. I look back at him. His chest. His legs. His face is everything. I don't quite know why he chose me... Maybe cause I'm young. People have weird fetishes like that. But I'm not that young. Only 13. He's 21. Not that much of an age difference. Even so we love each other and that's all that matters. We fell in love. Maybe that's why it hurts so much.

My phone starts to vibrate. Its my mom. I answer.

Where'd you go? Its nine. You better not be hanging around with some silly boyfriend of yours. You know I'm sick of your little kid games. She says.

Stop! Just stop. I scream.

I break down. I hang up. I'm just so fragile. I need my meds and I don't know what to do. I text my brother.

Hey. I text.

Hi.

I need my meds.

Where'd you dissapear to again? He asks.

Nowhere but I need my meds.

OK. What do you want?

I need my Abilify, Concerta, night meds and my alergy pills.

What about your full tube?

I'm fine.

I'm at Grotto Hills.

You're at the fancy hotel in the hills!?

Yes now hurry to floor 42 room B117.Thanks I say.

He always gets me out of tough shit. That's why I love him.

Who was that? Jacob asks.

My brother. He's bringing me my meds.

Ok sweetheart but come here. He says

What is it? I ask

Come here.

Ok.

I walk over and he picks me up and throws me on the bed. He gets on top of me and we make out. The passion he had for me and the way he tasted. I'll never forget. I take off my bra and panty He chucks off his boxers. I feel him pushing up against me. The moment is so intimate. Its not like we haven't done this before. For some reason I was nervous this time. I ignore it and continue to feel the moment like I feel him. We finish. We decide to take a shower together and when we're in there I hear a knock on the door.

Josh dries himself off, wraps himself in a towel and answers the door. I hear conversation in the other room. I get out and dry myself off. I come out in a robe. I see my brother standing their talking to Josh. I see my meds in josh's hand. I hug my brother Abe goodbye and he leaves. I walk up to josh and he asks me why I could possibly need all these medications. Just great. Now I have to explain all my issues to some 21 year old guy that I just had sex with. What could possibly be worse?
