The Skin I'm In (Urban Fiction)

Chapter 10

(Ve'Quell)

"Kalifa I'm so sorry, are you ok?" I hid the panic in my voice.

"Yes, are you ok? Who were you talking about?" She pulled me into a hug.

She completely shun off the fact that I could've caused her harm and she's worrying about me. I quickly told her the story about my brother and she continued to embrace me.

"We all have stories Ve'Quell, regardless of who you are, what your status is, we all have skeletons in our closet." She spoke calmly into my ear.

"Why are you so understanding? Why couldn't I find you earlier in my life?" She just shrug her shoulders. I stared at her for a few seconds, taking in her beauty, inside and out.

"Can I kiss you?" I asked her because she's been through a lot of sexual abuse, I need the ok first. I watched as she nodded her head and I slowly went in for the kiss.

At first I kissed her slowly, not wanting to rush the moment. Then she deepened the passion, the heat of the moment started to rise.

I felt a conection between us two, and not just where our lips touched. I pulled back not wanting to act on my physical needs, I want her to trust me.

(Kalifa)

I felt the need to push Ve'Quell a little further, I saw in his eyes that he didn't want overstep his boundaries. I find it amazing that a teenage boy can resist his sexual desires... for me.

"Don't be scared, it's ok." I pulled him to my lips again, this time he didn't put up a fight. His hands slightly roamed my body, then he laid back, pulling me on top of him. Our fingers intertwined while our lips continued to lock.

"You're such a beautiful person, inside and out. I am lucky to have you as a friend..." he spoke in a low tone, I didn't respond, I just laid my head on his shoulder and drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up I was still in Ve'Quell's arms. I looked up towards his face to see him staring at the ceiling.

"You ok?" I asked clearly breaking him from a trance.

"Uh, yea, how was your nap?" He smiled at me.

"Great." I tried to sit up but he gently tightened his grip on me.

"I would hope so, you snored loud enough." We stared at each other for a few seconds. "Kalifa, I feel some things when I'm around you, things I've never felt. I don't even know how to explain this, it's all new to me."

"We feel the same, I'm glad that I can trust you. I know you will never hurt me... intentionally." I said honestly.

"I think I love you..." I unconsciously held my breath. I didn't realize it until I nearly passed out.

"Well, I think I love you too..." Then he kissed me again. My emotions were just as real as my words. I did mean what I said to him and I know he meant it too.

"I have a confession, before we take things any further, you need to know this." I felt in my heart that this was going to be the end of what I thought would last forever.

"What is it?" I asked already knowing the answer.

"I have a bipolar disorder... But when I'm with you, I can control myself. It's like the people in my head all agree that you're the one. I understand if you want to end things before they start, but I don't ever want you to be scared of me, even though I'm scared of me." I could see the sincerity and nervousness in his eyes, he even looked a little disappointed.

"It's ok, I'm glad that I can help you. Ve'Quell listen, with everything that I've been through, everything you've witnessed, how can I judge you? Who am I to judge?" I smiled at the sight of hope spreading across his face.
