Troubled kisses(school hiatus)

Troubled Kisses chapter 11

I woke up next to Nick, naked. But I didn't feel ashamed. It felt... good. Good to rebel against my parents, good to go out on my own, to throw away my own virginity. I grabbed my clothes off the end of the bed and slipped them on.

"Leaving so soon?" Nick asked propping up on one arm. I smirked as I clipped my bra.

"Like hell I'll leave you after that," I said sneaking back into the warm bed.

"That'd be stupid." I mumbled in between kisses. I could feel Nick's muscles squeezing me, the curves like bulges of heated pads. He was warm and his hot breath made my neck sweaty.

"Skipping school today?" He asked. I sat up and crossed my arms.

"I'm going to ask Xavier if I could start working soon. My parents aren't giving me allowance anymore." I grumbled as Nick pushed the hair out of my face.

"I could pay for your expenses." he suggested. I smiled at him warmly. I thought it was nice that Nick cared for me to the point that he wanted to pay for my bills.

"That'd be selfish and selfishness is a sin," I said playing with Nick's hair. "Besides, we could be together even during work when you're not with a customer." I whispered kissing Nick on the forehead.

"I'd like that. How's your arm?" he asked. I looked down at the redness surrounding my tattoo and shrugged.
"It'll heal in a while. Anyways, Ash is coming to get a tongue pierce." I said rolling off of Nick and slipping on my clothes. "I'm going to go record her."

"I can't believe you two are best friends."

"We're more than best friends. We're kind of like soul sisters. She knows me like the back of her hand and I know her the same way. Besides, it'll be fun to make her talk with her tongue all swollen." I laughed. Nick shook his head and got up. He shuffled over to his closet and slung on a black tee(which his closet was full of) and black jeans. I noticed how he always had on that silver chain, even during the shower.

"Is that a gift?" I asked when Nick turned his head. I gestured my hand along my own neck as he looked down at his. He saw the chain and smiled a bit.

"This? Yeah... it was from my dad. He gave it to me before he died." Nick said with a distant look in his eyes.

"Homicide?"

"Suicide. I guess he owed a lot of money to his loan sharks and when he couldn't pay them off... he killed himself. Its nothing to dwell over though. Honestly, it was his fault. He couldn't pay for the rent and mom had to work overtime for two jobs... it's his fault..." Nick muttered, clenching his teeth and balling up his fists. I unraveled it and intertwined our hands as I kissed him in the cheek.

"Don't beat yourself up over it. C'mon, lets go. I don't want you to get yelled at because of me."

I walked into the pawn shop with Nick holding hands. Xavier looked up from his painting and his gaze turned straight to me. He looked me up and down with squinted eyes.

"Same clothes as yesterday? And you came here with this bad boy," Xavier said shaking his head. "You wore protection?" I hit Xavier in the arm.

"Shut up. I'll meet you downstairs after I'm done talking with Xavier," I said blowing a kiss to Nick as he disappeared behind the metal door. I turned my attention to Xavier and frowned. "Really? Protection? What are you, my dad?" I scoffed.

"No, but since you're dad's not taking care of you, it's my responsibility to look after you. I don't mind you and Nicky over there hooking up and having fun, but make sure you take care of yourself. You don't want to be known as the only pregnant junior in high school, do you?" Xavier raised an eyebrow, which had a new silver pierce in it. I pouted and buzzed my lips together.

"I don't have money to buy birth control pills. Besides, I don't think I'll get pregnant after having sex after one time. You're overreacting, Xavier." I said rolling my eyes, but Xavier didn't move a muscle, which made me lose my confident when Xavier looked at me with those large, shining eyes. Like a dog when begging; pleading even. I swallowed hard, trying to regain control of the conversation. "I-I could get a job and then maybe I could make a couple of extra bucks to buy stuff like that. That is, if you want me to work here." I encouraged as Xavier straightened.

"If it's you Dannie, I wouldn't mind an extra face around here to keep me company. It's a deal then. You start work next week."

"And the pay?" I raised an eyebrow.
"7.50--"

"8," I negotiated. Xavier frowned.

"Dannie, I can't pay you extra even if it's you. My price still stands." Xavier declared. I scrunched up my nose and clutched my stomach.

"Oh my god, Xavier, my stomach is killing me! I feel like I'm about to throw up, I can feel my stomach swelling up and... I think I'm having contractions lately..." I taunted as Xavier's eyes widened.

"You wouldn't--"

"I wouldn't for $8.00 an hour," I announced placing my arms on the table, practically leaning over the counter. "My price still stands."

Xavier pondered about it for almost a minute before sighing.

"I give up. I can't do anything with you. Fine, you'll start next week. Don't be late, or I won't be able to teach you the basics. Now go on and flirt with your man-friend." Xavier smirked as I slipped past the metal door, shooting Xavier a slight thank you.
