With You

Chapter 3

Ricky's POV

"E.J. We gotta get up for school," I said while poking my boyfriend's cheek in an attempt to wake him. He looked so peaceful and I hated to wake him but I didn't want to be late for school. E.J. stirred a little before opening his eyes and giving me a sleepy smile.

"Goodmorning babe," He told me while pressing a kiss to my forehead. I instantly melted in his arms. Every time E.J. called me babe I fell for him a little more. I was so glad E.J. was my boyfriend. I was so lucky he was mine and I was his. Sometimes I worried he'd say the L word and I wouldn't be able to say it back. I know that I do love E.J. but I'm scared to say it out loud. It's stupid because I know it's just three words, just three little words I have to say but knowing the power those words held scared me. My mom and dad said it all the time when I was younger and now they can't even be in the same room for more than 10 minutes without fighting. The thought of E.J leaving me scared me.

"Babe? Are you okay? You spaced out a little bit," E.J. said pulling me out of my thoughts, his face full of concern. I nodded my head, yes letting him know I was okay.

"Uh, could I borrow some clothes? I didn't know I'd be staying so I didn't bring anything with me." I told him.

"Of course you can. I'm not gonna let you go to school naked. As much as I'd like to see it, I don't need anyone else seeing," He told me. "Cmon let's go brush our teeth. I have an extra toothbrush you can use."

I blushed hard and followed E.J. to the bathroom where we brushed our teeth. Once we were done we went back to his room.

"Here you can have these sweats. They don't fit anymore and they should fit you hopefully. And here's another T-shirt. And then you can pick whatever jacket you want." He told me tossing me the sweats and shirt. I went to his closet to find which jacket I wanted and I decided on his letterman. I loved how it slightly fell off of me and how it seemed to swallow me. I turned around to ask E.J. if he planned to wear it today but when I turned around he was changing and was currently in nothing but his boxers. I caught myself staring at him, blushing hard. I don't know why seeing him in his boxers made me blush so hard. It wasn't like I hadn't seen him naked before. Fuck, he was so hot and I was so lucky.

Next thing I knew E.J. was standing right in front of me. I blushed even harder and I'm pretty sure I resembled a tomato at this point.

"Like what you see?" He told me. I found it hard to speak and was struggling to form words. E.J.'s lips were suddenly on mine and I melted into his arms. The longer we kissed the more urgency the kiss had. I could feel E.J. getting hard through his boxers. I'd love to go farther but we had to get to school. I pulled away from the kiss not wanting things to go any farther.

"Babe as much I'd love to go farther, we can't. We have school." I told him.

"Can't we just skip it?" He told me pouting.

"As much as I'd love to spend the day with you I have two tests today," I told.

"Fine let me just do one thing before I go take a very cold shower." He told me. Then his lips were on my neck sucking and slightly biting as well. I was a moaning mess under him while he marked me.

"Fuck E.J. I don't have my concealer with me," I told him.

"Sorry, I had to mark what's mine." He told me. I rolled my eyes playfully.

"So predatory," I said laughing while shooing him to the shower. Once E.J. left the room I changed his clothes and waited for him. I also asked Nini if she had any concealer and she told me she'd bring me some. Ten minutes later he came back dressed and ready for school. Along with Ashlynn, we got into E.J.'s car and headed to school.

Once we got to school I could tell people were staring at me. I mean I was wearing clothes that were obviously E.J.'s and I had the hickey on my neck. To wandering eyes, I knew exactly what it looked like happened.

E.J. and I found Nini who was with Gina sitting in the library laughing at a vine compilation.

"Hey Nini, can I uh have the um concealer please?" I asked nervously. Nini laughed while handing it to me while Gina smirked.

"Had too much fun E.J.?" Gina asked jokingly.

"Like you haven't left any on Nini," E.J. responded.

"Yeah not where you can see them," Gina told him and Nini blushed hard.

"Yeah, can we stop this conversation?" Nini told us.

E.J. and I left Nini and Gina alone while we hurried to the bathroom before classes started so that we could cover up my hickey. I quickly covered it up and deemed it covered up well enough.

"E.J. after school can you take me home to get some stuff to take to yours?" I asked him on our way to my class.

"Yeah, yeah of course. So that means you're staying for a few days at least?" He asked his voice full of hope.

"I was hoping too. You know only if it's okay?" I told him.

"It's always okay. More than okay actually." He told me.

I always said I was lucky for having E.J. in my life and every day I'm reminded more and more why I am.
