tongue piercing • liangelo ball [ON HOLD]

vi - her

Weeks have passed since I first came to Chino Hills and if I said it wasn't a wild ride, I'd be lying. I got two best friends in the form of Mason and Lamelo. And Liangelo, he still hasn't quit asking for me to suck his dick. He's been nicer, sure, but still the hormonal boy I met on my first day.

It was a Saturday and I decided to go hiking at the same trail Mason and I hiked, but by myself this time. I had a lot on my mind and needed a break for a little bit. I got dressed in some hiking clothes and went straight to my car, blaring some Ed Sheeran out of my speakers and heading on my way. It wasn't a strange thing to me, going to the hiking trails to think. But for some reason it felt a little different. 

I made it in record time, with there not being as much traffic as usual, and started the hike quickly. There was so much I began to think about, with my mind mostly being on Liangelo. I didn't understand the situation completely, I just didn't understand why one guy would keep asking for something like this. I mean, I get they're hormonal but I don't see why he's so caught up with me sucking his dick when he could get any other girl to do it. 

"Well, what a nice surprise." I hear behind me and I roll my eyes. I turn around to face who I already know is behind mez 

"What do you want, Liangelo?" I ask, annoyed and he smiles shyly. There's a slight pink tint to his cheeks and I start to question if it's because of me or the hike. 

"You know what I want. But I'm not gonna be like that today. You hiking alone?" He asks and I nod. "Care if I join?" 

"Sure." I say and we begin walking again. There's a moment of comfortable silence and I decide to speak up first. "What brings you here?" I ask.

"I needed to get some stuff off of my mind. You?" He asks and I softly smile.

"Same here. There's just too much to think about." I say and he chuckles. I look at him for a split second to find him already looking at me. I blush slightly and giggle softly.

"You can say that again. If you don't mind me asking, what's up with you and my brother?" He asks and I shake my head. 

"Definitely nothing like that. He's a really good friend. He kinda wants to set us up, if I'm being quite honest." I say and he laughs. 

"That sounds about right. He, along with all my other friends, want me in an actual relationship. And I would, but I just don't know." He says, and I can tell he's sincere. A wave of confusion washes over me. 

"Is there any certain reason you don't want to be in a relationship? I mean, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I say and he sighs. 

"Long story. End of the hike as well. Wanna get some ice cream and talk about it? We can take my car and then I'll drop you back off here? If you're up to it that is." He says and I smile. 

"Sounds like a plan." I say and he smiles. Braces and all, he's got quite possibly the most beautiful smile I've ever seen on a guy. I get into his car and we begin the drive. 

"I have always had a slight problem with knowing who I was. You've got my older brother, Lonzo.  High school superstar, college too. Lamelo is the same way. Then there's me. The middle child with not as much recognition. I get it, that's how it usually goes but it sucks. And yeah, I have a horomone problem,  I kinda like sex. Maybe a little too much, I don't know. But I did try a relationship one time. I've never told anyone this but her name was Isabella. I'll resume once we've gotten our ice cream." He says. He rushes over to my side of the car and opens my door for me. 

"Thank you." I say and he smiles.

"It's the least I could do. Thanks for listening so far." Liangelo says and I smile. We order our ice cream and take a table outside. 

"Anyways, back to my story. I really liked her. She was amazing, the relationship was amazing. Until she cheated on me. Broke my heart, and I just couldn't deal with that. I became a huge player, hence my reputation. And god, it is so beyond old by now. I hate being a player. But I just don't want to stop because like, what would Liangelo Ball be without his player reputation. I guess I'm just scared, I don't know." He ends and I smile.

"You just gained an all new level of respect from me, Liangelo. Like that was amazing, opening up to me like that. I don't exactly know it feels, but I know what it's like not knowing who you are. It'll come to you somehow, some way. And I'm willing to help you in any way possible." I say and he smiles brightly. 

"Thank you. Maybe Eli was right, I probably should cuff you." He says and I giggle. 

"Maybe." I say. We get back in his car and drive back to the trails and he follows me home, so that he can "keep an eye on me." 

However as I pull up to my house, he pulls in with me. I don't mind. 

"I just really wanted to say thank you, for today. It helped a lot with getting some stuff off of my chest." He says and I smile. He scratches his neck nervously and I hug him randomly. He immediately hugs back and I bury my face in his chest.

Before I know it, he's pulling my chin up with his fingers and his soft lips are on mine. I don't hesitate to kiss back. It's a soft kiss, one you would defnitely would dream about. He's the one to pull away and he rests his forehead on mine. 

"Fuck, Eli was right."
