Ricky POV
Nini and I sat on her bed making out. Her body felt tense and even as I kept running my hands over her, she remained tense. It was starting to concern me so I pull back and she looks flushed. "Hey Nins, you good?" I whisper. She smiles and nods but I swear I can see the gears turning in her head as she leans in again to kiss me. I accept the kiss but the deeper we go, the more it feels like we're 15 again and we've just started our new relationship. She's tentative and as my hands reach down to the hem of her shirt she downright pulls away. "How about we have dinner?" She says, clearing her throat and trying to avoid eye contact with me. My hands come up to her cheeks and I force her to look at me. "What's going on?" I ask in a gentle tone. Her hands come up to rest on my wrists and she just smiles and presses our noses together. "Nothing I'm just getting really hungry. Low energy." She promises. I nod and get off the bed. "In that case, I'm going to make you dinner." She laughs. "My moms left dinner in the fridge." I smile. "In that case, I'm going to heat up your dinner." She giggles and I start to walk out of the room. "You coming?" I ask when I see she's not following. "Oh yeah! Just give me a quick second. I'll meet you down." I hesitate but leave, and it's almost like I can hear her sigh from within her room. I'm not going to press, but it'd be nice to know what's going through her mind.
Nini POV
Ricky leaves my room and I sigh. Finally I can relax. I felt bad for pulling away during out make out session, but I was getting really uncomfortable and I was starting to over think the bra that I was wearing. It would probably look like I was trying too hard and I'd probably look like an idiot trying to pull it off. I'd never want Ricky to think that of me, and I quickly pull off my shirt, deciding to change back into my old bra before things get heated again tonight. My reflection in the mirror catches my attention from across the room and I walk towards the mirror slowly. In another world, I'd feel beautiful in this. I'd be able to show Ricky excitingly, knowing it doesn't make me beautiful but it adds to it. What's more is the confidence that comes from a simple garment. But this is the real world. I'd never have that confidence and I'd be an idiot if I tried to pretend. I stare at myself a little longer touching the lace above the cups, wishing I was a different person. I freeze though, for the second time today, as I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. My shirt is all the way across the room and I stand frozen as I hear a light tap and the door opens. Ricky stands in the doorway and I wish I could put his reaction into words.
Ricky POV
Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
Nini POV
Ricky walks towards me slowly, his mouth hanging open just slightly. I don't know what to do, so I just cross my arms over my chest. Ricky reaches me and his eyes meet mine as he pulls my arms away from my chest. "What... I... Fuck Nini." Is all he mutters. His eyes are raking over my body and I shy away from him just slightly. He notices and his arms come around me. "Sorry, I'm just... you're gorgeous." He says quietly to me, his voice husky. He clears his throat. I blush and look at the ground. I feel his finger come up to my chin, pulling my chin up to meet his eyes. "Where did you..?" I blush and try to look down again but Ricky isn't having it. "The mall." I say quietly. He nods and his arms tighten around me, his forehead coming to rest against mine. "Is this why you were acting so weird before?" He says with a smile. He's seemed to recover but the passion behind his eyes is still very much there. "Yeah. I'm just not quite comfortable in it." I say quietly. I feel him nod against my head and he asks his next question carefully. "But you bought it?" I know I'm blushing. "It felt good there but the idea of showing you..." His grip tightens and one of his hands moves up my body grazing the side of my breast, and moves back down. I visibly shudder and he makes the movement again. "How are you not confident that you look perfect, regardless of who you're in front of?" I shrug and try to look down. He catches my lips and kisses me slowly, before breaking out lips apart and turning me in his arms. I'm backed up against the front of his body, fenced in by his arms. I feel his growing erection against my bum and I fight the urge to blush again. I'm facing the mirror and I look into it, meeting his eyes. "Look at you." He whispers. His hands move up and down my side and then move over to play with the lace of my bra. The girl standing in the mirror now is almost completely different. Ricky's words fueled my confidence and I stand there, with his arms wrapped around me, feeling content. I close my eyes and rest my head against his chest and I hear him sigh behind me. His hands tighten against my waist and I feel him lean down and kiss my neck, sucking directly behind my ear. My breathing hitched and he sucks harder, grinding his front against my bum. He groans into my ear and I turn completely around, jumping him, kissing him deeply. He pulls back and he whispers "you're absolutely stunning Nini. Regardless of whatever the fuck you wear. You'll always leave my speechless." His voice is raspy and I answer him with a kiss, slipping my tongue into his mouth. He groans again when I grind against him and what's coming next makes the butterflies go crazy in my stomach.
