Skater Girl

His Apartment

We eventually arrive at Southbank and we walk to a tall apartment building,

"My mum had enough money to afford two apartments so I got one of my own to share with my older brother, and my little sister is with my parents cause she's only 9. I have another older brother but he is back in America he's 20, and my 18 year old brother who's staying with me, won't be back for a while," he says to me,

"Well that's pretty good then. But why do you go to a school a so far away from where you live?"

"I was kind of expelled at the first one and mum took me out of the last school cause they just didn't have the right things for me. We will be moving closer soon eventually,"

"Oh, grouse,"

"Grouse?" He repeates confused,

"Never mind," I say to him. We walk through electric doors and he pulls a card out of his pocket and taps on a grey box and the second set of doors open. I walk through and the smell of an air fresher hits me. We walk to the elevators and he presses the up button and the doors open straight away. He lets me in first leading me with his hand on my lower back. I turn and look at him and he has a cheeky smirk on his face,

"Doing dirty things in an elevator sounds interesting," he says looking at me,

"What? Haha where did that come from?"

"Well I dunno. What do you think Jade?"

"I hope that was rhetorical." This boy is odd, but I like it. I just don't want to give off the wrong impression.

We get to the 7th floor and we get off. We turn to the right and then reach door 8,

"My mom and dad have nine and I have eight," he says. He gets out a shiny blue key and turns the lock on the door and we walk in. It's gorgeous and so homey. The door shuts behind us and I start to walk around. I walk over to the window that overlooks the Yarra River. High school teams practicing their rowing, future Olympian's for sure. People in little dinghys pottering along and party boats drifting along the murky water. It's a beautiful view stretching over the Melbourne CBD. "This is just so lovely!" I say in awe.

"Yeah, it goes alright," he says. I walk into the kitchen assessing all parts of it. I jump up and sit on the bench like I usually do at home,

"Oh right sorry. I usually do that," I say as I jump down,

"Nah it's fine I do it all the time," he says. I slide back up my legs hanging down swinging. He hands me a Corona with a slice of lime wedged in the neck. Mm nice and refreshing. I put the glass to my lips and drink, the bubbles dancing on my tongue and the bitter sweetness sticks in my mouth as the rest trickles down my throat,

"So what kind of a girl are you? A goody goody? A sexual girl? Reckless? Fun?" He asks. I think about this. Do I want to reveal all he wants to know, or keep him guessing for later?

"I guess, I'm a bit of it all. A skater of course, I'm smart and definitely fun, always. I used to make stupid mistakes and bad decisions but I've learned my lessons and don't want to go back there," I say, "What about you?"

"I am the same, just I am reckless occasionally. But yeah."

He walks over to me, his eyes darting from mine to my lips and back to my eyes again. His face leans closer to mine, and as he cups my face he kisses me straight on the lips. I slide off the bench and he holds me close. It becomes a fierce clash of lips and I know our hearts are going faster and faster. He grabs my hips, moving his hands towards my ass.

"Put your arms around my neck and wrap your legs around my waist," he says. I do as he says as he lifts me up with ease. He walks through to what I assume is his room still carrying me and kissing too,

"What're you doing?" I say with a little bit of a nervous laugh. I know I'm driving him insane. He lays me on the bed crawling on top of me. I want to tease him but I know I won't be able to.

He takes off his school shirt revealing a large tattoo above his left nipple. It's going to take a lot of self control here from me. I pull my head away and just stare into his eyes again holding his arms. I can fell the heat radiating off his body. He pushes himself off to the side and pulls me in. I bury my head into his chest and press my ear against him so I can listen to his racing heartbeat. He grabs my whole body and flips us over and parts my legs apart,

"Wait Evan," I say stopping him, "I don't know if I'm ready for this. I only met you yesterday after you stole my skateboard and I'm not even your girlfriend."

"Well when you put it that way it sounds odd. But I'm sure as hell I'm physically attracted to you and I feel like you're the one," he says. His voice has changed a bit of tone. He sounds a bit hoarse and worn down,

"Look I'm just scared," I say, "can we take this slower?"

"Uh yeah sure darlin'. Sorry I just can't help myself sometimes but I respect that," He says in and understanding tone of voice,

"Hey where's your bathroom?" I ask. He points to a door and I let myself in.

I take off my clothes except for my short shorts and my singlet top and then just slide Evans hoodie back on. I walk out and back towards his room and stop when I get there cause he's not there. Then before I can blink, he grabs me from behind tackling me into the bed tickling me sending me into fits of laughter,

"Haha! No! Haha! Stop!" I say in uncontrollable giggles,

"Aww sweetheart, I was just playing." I giggle when he says that and then I hit the softness of the newly made bed and start to feel sleepy. Evan cuddles me from behind, slowly rubbing my back and kissing my neck. I drift into sleep.
