Mediocre Boulevard

     Ever since Cloud had invited me to sleep in his bed with him I'd been hanging out at his house more often. I'd gotten to know his parents a lot better too. They'd formally introduced themselves as Fox and Sylvia insisting that I call them by their first names.

So there I sat in their living room watching a movie while leaning on Cloud. His parents were doing their own cuddling on the love seat while Cloud and I took up most of the other sofa.

He attempted to run his hands through my hair but each time his fingers got caught up in my curls. I would suppress a hiss because he was only trying to be affectionate. I had changed since I'd met Cloud. If any other guy had tried to touch my hair I would have fucked him up. However, he was the one exception. Always.

When the movie did end his parents retired to their room after telling us good night. That left Cloud and me alone on the couch. It didn't take much for him to kiss me. In fact, we were exploring body parts that we had never touched before; at least on each other's bodies. I was out of a shirt and for a change my bra before Cloud decided to strip down to his underwear. He was absolutely beautiful. He had no reason to be ashamed of his body. I ran my fingers across the scar on his side as he leaned down to kiss my forehead.

I knew that I came off as a hardcore bitch who didn't give a fuck about anything but I had never done anything like this. I had never let someone else see me naked.

"Hey. Are you alright? We can stop," he whispered while looking me in the eye. A part of me wanted to stop but I also knew that Cloud would never hurt me. That he would take it slow.

"I never had sex with Bryce. I just let you think that because I was mad at you," I admitted looking down at his chest. I was ashamed. Ashamed of what he was going to think of me.

Cloud chuckled and shook his head, "I already knew that, babe. I knew from the moment you said it. I just didn't want to embarrass you in front of all those people. You can't lie to me. Now, I'm gonna ask you again. Do you want to stop?"

I looked into those blue pools and held his face between my hands. There was nobody else that I would ever want to be completely vulnerable with. "I'm alright. Just do it." There it went, my permission.

Cloud nodded and switched positions with me so that I was now laying down on the couch with him hovering over my body. "So fucking beautiful," he whispered before kissing me again.

I let him slip off my jeans as he continued to kiss me. I suppressed a moan as he bit at my neck. "Are you sure, Charlie?" He asked me again. I suppressed and groan and nodded my head. "If you ask me again I will kick you in the balls."

Cloud smiled and continued stripping me until I was bare. It was strange being naked in front of someone. It felt horrifying but liberating all at the same time.

I never understood sex. The connection between two people. The connection that could only be through connection parts of the body but I understood and felt that connection as Cloud looked into my eyes, as our bodies connected. It hurt at first. So much that I wanted to push Cloud away but he held me close and kissed me in as a method of distraction.

I whimpered and dug my nails into his pale arms as he continued to coax me through the pain. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on the fact that Cloud was trying his best to accommodate me.

"It'll get better. I promise," he whispered before burying his head in my neck. I took deep breaths and allowed Cloud to take care of me further.

It was strange that Cloud hadn't offered to take me to his bedroom. That he hadn't tried to make it more romantic. Fucking on his parent's couch was fine by me but I thought it was unexpected from Cloud.

"Fuck, Charlie!" He whisper-shouted as he continued his actions. I just laid there and let him. The pain was slowly subsiding but there was nothing left but discomfort. I assumed that losing one's virginity consisted of just getting it over with.

But then there was a feeling. A feeling reaching towards satisfaction. Reaching some sort of finish to it all. I moaned once and that drove Cloud crazy. He held onto me as I held onto him tighter.

Then there was nothing but our wills to completely divulge ourselves in the feeling of being so close. Finally reaching that moment of complete satisfaction. No longer any discomfort. Just satisfaction.

Cloud kissed me and pushed my hair away from my face. "That was amazing, Charlie. Are you alright?"

I nodded and leaned up to kiss him softly. Cloud was more than amazing and I would have kept kissing him if it weren't for the living room light coming on.

"Oh shit!" Cloud yelled as his mother gasped and covered her eyes. I covered myself as best I could and ducked my head in embarrassment. Fuck!

"Oh, my fucking goodness! Cloud! What the fuck?" Sylvia yelled before she ran into the kitchen, grabbing a disinfectant spray.

"On my couch? On the couch?" She continued making Cloud chuckle a little before grabbing the quilt on the back of the couch to cover us both.

"Shower. Now. Off my couch!" She yelled making us both get up, hugging each other to stay covered under the small blanket.

As Cloud and I made our way upstairs Sylvia sprayed behind us frantically as she then went to disinfect her couch.

Cloud and I laughed as we made our way into the bathroom. "Do you think she noticed that she sent us up here together?" I asked stepping into the shower after Cloud.

"Doesn't matter at this point. I've seen...everything," he smiled before leaning down to kiss me. I kissed him back and smiled up at him before laughing at the image of Sylvia's face.

Cloud and I made out under the water but we eventually took a real shower. Cloud made sure that I was wrapped up in a towel before he went to retrieve clothes from his mother for me to borrow.

When he did come back I immediately changed and laid down in his bed. I laid on my side ready for him to come to bed. I didn't know if I could do this forever but I knew it was perfect for a little while and maybe a little while after that.

"I could get used to you waiting for me in my bed," Cloud murmured before he laid down next to me. I ran my hand through his dark hair and looked into his eyes before saying "Me too, me too."
