"Hey Leo."
I instantly want to kick myself in the face. Like a flying karate kick right in the center of my face. My voice was higher than usual, I stretched the o's in his name and all in all, it was cringe-y.
Leo was sitting on my brother's bed, back leaning against the wall with his phone in his hands. His brow was furrowed as he stared down at the cell. "Yeah?" he responds, not even looking up from his phone.
I teeter from my left to my right foot in the doorway, feeling like I might shit my pants at any given moment. Collin had just run to go pick up a pizza for the three of us and this was probably my only chance to ask this.
Leo notices the lack of a response and looks up from his phone to peer at me. "What do you want, loser?" he asks again, teasingly. I, automatically, roll my eyes.
"I was wondering how your pea size brain and even smaller penis manages to get laid." I retort without much thought. Leo chuckles a little and set his phone down on the bed. In one fluid motion, he slides off the bed and waltzes over to me.
"Is someone jealous?" he cooes, his voice taunting. "Were you hoping to get a kiss from the hottest guy you know?"
"You must have a huge asshole."
Leo pauses and stares at me in a confused out way. "What?"
"I mean with your giant head and all, your asshole must be just -" I spread my arms apart, hands wide to show. "Huge to fit it."
His lips thin as his eyes narrow. "Are you going to keep spewing stupid shit or actually ask what you came here for?" he cuts out conversation short. I cross my arms and lean against the door frame.
He stood about a foot or two away, looking at me with a hint of annoyance and a small speck of interest. "Yeah, right." I agree, reminded why I came here.
"Okay, so like I don't want to beat around the bush because that'll make things even more awkward. So, I am just gonna say it." I give a little explanation, hoping this makes it less weird.
"Okay, just ask it Lola." he sighs walking backwards a few steps and plopping onto the edge of the bed. Probably best he sits down.
"Alright." I take and deep breath and clasp my hands together. "I need you to teach me about sex."
The silence after that is enough to make me want to cry in embarrassment. Leo is just staring at me like he is trying to figure out in his head if I am serious.
"I am dead serious." I offer as reassurance. Still no answer. So this totally failed. Not really enjoying the feeling of making a complete fool of myself. "Alright, bye."
I held up a two finger goodbye and promptly turned on my heel. I walked away very fast and feeling very stupid. I went to room, the bedroom directly across the hall and shut my door firmly behind me.
Then I shoved my face into a pillow lying on my bed and gave a good rant.
"Jesus fucking Christ, Lola!" I screamed into the pillow, my sentence coming out mumbled and incoherent. "You are such a god damn spaz! Why the hell would Leonardo Nicola teach you how to fucking kiss and shit? No reason. You're his best friend's sister!"
I removed my head from the pillow and gave a good intake of air before shoving my face back into the cotton.
"Like, no! And why the hell did you say it like that? You sound like a nine year old boy who just learned what a boner is! You. Are. A. Dumbass. Simple as that and now you are going to go to college being the only person who doesn't know how to kiss a guy or -"
