Dricki Love & Lust Chronicles

My First pt. One

Nicki looked at him.

She didn't blink.

She didn't breath.

She didn't touch.

She just looked.

"Onika, are you getting this?" he asked as he scribbled down notes in a seemingly excited manner. 'Still my little nerd' she mused happily to herself.

Sitting this close filled their noses with the scent of one another and Drake undid half the buttons on his shirt feeling warn. She was so close, her bare thigh touching his leg, their arms brushing each other slowly and almost teasingly. Subtly and sensually trying to get the other to see something they were obviously missing.

They were suppose to be looking at the book together but while he studied the text and her touch, she just studied him.

The school year was only in its fifth week and she was already having trouble in AP Bio, deeming it the class sent from hell. So in her time of peril, she enlisted the help of her best friend, since he was some sort of genius, but right now- as they sat at the desk in his bedroom- she felt like she was looking at a stranger with a vague sense a sense of familiarity cloaking him, while making her want to rip all her clothes off.

She studied him like she was supposed to be studying the text but the young man sitting beside her was someone new which made her heart race because at the same time she was looking at someone she'd known since she was young.

Fourteen years of friendship between the both of them but he never seemed more foreign to her than he did in that very moment. But Nicki knew what did this.

It was the summer.

This past summer.

The summer he'd spent with his father down south.

Normally they'd be let out for summer holiday and they would get a couple days of the summer together then he'd leave for two weeks to be with his dad for a seemingly extremely awkward and uncomfortable fourteen day period in Memphis, Tennessee. It had been like that since they were ten years old.

It was always the same routine before he left as well. Drake would walk to Nicki's house, find her on the steps, give her a hug and a kiss on the forehead, saying that he loved her and would be back before she knew it. Nicki would nod and make him pinky promise to call her as soon as he got there before giving him another kiss on the cheek and letting him run home to his mother.

Nicki would then trudge inside and mope for the rest of the day, waiting on him to call. Her mother would always laugh to herself about her love sick child, who was so innocent to what to the feelings that she felt. The girl would always sit and wait on him to call, falling asleep on the couch next to the phone, never once wanting to move so that as soon as it rang she would get all the time she could talking to her best friend.

Then after assuring that he'd call again in a week, they would hang up and Nicki would do the same thing seven days later, and then have her mother take her to the airport to get him until she was old enough to ride the train alone.

They would hug each other tightly and people would always mistake them for being a couple which the pair simply brushed off. Drake would drape his arm over her and they would walk back to the train station as he told her of everything that happened while he was down south.

He had always told Nicki that it was like another planet compared to Toronto. The people were different and he felt that he fit in a bit better there but still felt different. By the way he described it, Nicki could tell that he secretly loved Memphis just not spending the awkward time with his father. Drake would also tell her that the next time he went down that he should bring her with him but Nicki would always decline saying that someone had to stay back and look after their mothers while he was away.
