Because of You

Chapter 4

Jacob

I heard shuffling around my room.

The other side of my bed was warm.

I frowned.

Who the hell is here with me?

Opening my eyes I saw Nolen struggling to put his pants on.

He hobbled around on one leg, eventually falling and landing on his butt with a thud.

I grinned, flipping over onto my back.

"Leaving without telling me," I asked.

He jumped, glancing over at me.

"I-I gotta go," he stuttered.

"So soon," I grinned.

He nodded, "My mama is gonna be pissed."

"Do you want me to drive you," I asked, sitting up.

"Honestly, I don't think that's a good idea. I don't even know what happened last night," Nolen said.

I nodded.

I stood up, pulling a pair of basketball shorts on.

He surveyed my every move, his eyes lingering on my erect member.

I winked, "You like something you see?"

He looked up to my face and smacked his lips, "Asshole."

I chuckled.

Nolen's lips were parted like he wanted to say something. He opened his mouth, but closed it again.

"Just say it," I said.

"D-do you k-know if w-we had sex," Nolen questioned.

"We didn't," I smirked.

At least I don't think we did.

He clutched his chest, relieved, "Thank goodness."

"We just made out a little," I answered, winking at him.

Nolen rolled his eyes.

"Well I'll see you later," he said, slipping on his shoes and opening my door.

"Wait," I said, rushing to the door and closing it.

I pressed him against the door.

"Can I get your number," I asked, staring into his brown eyes.

He stared back up at me, "You really wanna talk to me?"

"Yea."

He grinned broadly.

I grabbed his phone off the nightstand and put my number in it.

"Here," I said, handing him his phone, "I'll get to see you around, right?"

He nodded.

"Okay, good," I said, leaning down and pecking his soft lips.

He chuckled a little.

I leaned down and pecked him again, this time placing several kisses on his lips until it turned a deep long one.

I gripped his waist, lifting him and wrapping his legs around my waist.

His hands encircled my neck.

"Mmm," he moaned.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The door vibrated.

Nolen frowned, pulling away from our kiss.

"Jacob, get up honey. We have to go run errands," my mom called through the door.

"Yes ma'am," I yelled through the door.

"And whoever that little fast tail girl you got in there, you better get her out."

"Yes ma'am."

Nolen's cheeks reddened and he put his head down, a slight grin on his face.

"Well, I better get you home," I said.

"Yeah."

Nolen

I closed the door behind me with a near soundless click.

I crept up the stairs.

The house was still dark since the curtains were drawn.

Lord, of all the times, please don't let the stairs creak, not now, Jesus.

Crrrrreeeeaaaakkk

Dammit.

"Boy, where the hell you been," my mama yelled, her door flying open, "coming in my house at eight in the morning."

"I'm sorry, ma. I spent the night at Choochie's place and forgot to call," I lied.

She looked at me for a long time, skeptical of my story.

My heart thudded rapidly in my chest.

"Mmhmm, better not let it happen again."

"Yes ma'am," I said, creeping into my room.

Putting my phone on the charger, I checked my notifications.

Choochie: Biiiittccchhh, you left me to get some dick.

I laughed, texting her back:

Not exactly. I was close though. Sorry girl.

Choochie: Whatever, just give me the deets.

I called her and told her the story.

"Really?! Oh my gosh," Choochie squealed into the phone.

"I know," I said.

"So you made out with Jacob Perez, one of the finest guys at school?"

"Yea," I said.

"Well go ahead then bitch, I'm happy for you," Choochie laughed.

"Thanks."

"Well talk to you later because I have to go to work, sadly," Choochie whined.

"Bye baby, love you," I said.

"Bye hun," she said.

Jacob: Hey, you wanna hang out some time next week?

I grinned:

Sure.
