Lovers In Bodie✔️

" What do you think you're doing, leaving me behind? " John Wyatt hollered behind me.

He must have been running because his chest was heaving and his voice shallow.
Disappointment and annoyance were seeping in his tone.
And I could see his features heated in anger in the faint light of the moon.

The street was deserted. We were alone. The trees towering above us. The cricket had stopped chirping only to listen to the fuss.

" Yes, does it matter to you? " I sneered sarcasm.

" Is there any problem Ricky?" He asked boldly.

" I got bored. I didn't like coming to the dance in the first place. "

" You could have told me that you're leaving.
What if something happens to you? You know it's dark out here. You prick. " He was angry at me. He had the audacity to be angry at me. He scolded me like my father did when I had committed a mistake.

" Since when have you been concerned about my well being? And stop calling me names. "
I spat.

" I am since we are living under the same roof. I am a friend to your father that means I am a friend to you."

" How could I tell you that I'm leaving when you're busy shoving your tounge with that whore you bastard. "

I said it out loud, my salivas raining from my mouth.

Even me, myself was surprised by the words that had come out from my mouth. And what annoyed me more was that I had sounded jealous even if we're not in a relationship.

" Wait, are you jealous? " Damn his expression unreadable.

" What? No Why would I be?" I had said the biggest lie to him.

" Yes you are. "

" What are you talking about?
That's absurd."
I was livid.

I pushed his chest with so much force that he lost his balance and smacked to the ground.

He jerked upward. I was expecting a good blow from him. He grabbed both of my shoulders forcefully, digging his fingers harshly.
My heart leaped in my throat.

Was he going to punch me?

Then his features shifted on what quite seem an amused look.

I frozed.

He drew his face closer to mine and spoke in a voice so low and husky .
" You like me, do you Ricky?"

I closed my eyes waiting for his fist to land on my face. He had known that I had liked him so it would be fair that I would have to receive a nice blow from him.
I didn't need to defend myself. This feeling was no longer put into discretion anymore. He had known and I was doomed.

But instead of his fist, I felt something on my mouth it was soft and wet. I opened my eyes as words jumbled in my thoughts forming a coherent sentence.

John Wyatt was kissing me.

And it did not felt weird, in fact it felt good.

I knew I had to unlink our mouth but I had found it hard to detach our lips. I had even opened my mouth and fought for his kiss.

My lips started to open allowing his tongue to invade mine. Our tongues clashed. The kiss was sweet and passionate. I hadn't thought I could kiss like this. This was my first time to experience such heated lip locking. It was fervent yet full of passion. He sucked the bottom lip and a low mewl had escaped from my mouth.

Then I detached our lips.

Both of us were breathing raggedly.

" What had just happened?" I huffed.
"Why did you kiss me? "

" Why would a guy kiss a girl?" he was all red and hot.

"Because he likes her. Because it's good?"

" Yeah you're right. I kissed you because I like you and damn it was good."

" But you're god damn straight. "

" You think I am? "
I like you a lot Ricky. I really like you. "

" What's really your sexuality? "

" Is that really important? "

" In my case I think it is. "

" Fine, I fancy men and women.
But right now I only like one person and it's you. "
My heart somersaulted. I did not know what to say. I was out of words.

" And I think you are also smitten on me."

" No way. Father's not going to be happy about this."
He looked at me as if understanding my situation.

" Ricky, the world doesn't need to know that we are in love. Just the two of us is enough."

He drew closer to me and held my hands

" Ricky Filtwick, do you accept my love?
I promise that I will love you forever and always."

" I don't know, we have only known each other for one week.
I don't know if this feeling that I have is love or just merely a temporary liking."

" I have started liking you when you were were like sixteen. And it doesn't matter love knows no time. "

" Wait what? "

" Yes I have known you before but you did not know me.
My uncle was a friend to your mom. I was there during the funeral of your mom.
I was with my uncle. You did not notice me because you were distraught with what happened to her.

I always spent my summer vacation here in Bodie. And I would stay in my uncle's house. I had the prospect of seeing you every day and you would sit near the window of your house.

I had wanted to make friends with you but I was scared of your dad. He was a drunk man. And you're mom was also strict.

Didn't you notice why I chose to stay in the convenience of your home where in fact there's my uncle's house? "

" My dad said it's because our house is near the mine. "

" That's just part of it but it was you, you're the reason. I would love to get to know you more because when when we were young I hadn't had the chance. You don't always go outside.
Did you remember, It was you who offered me a biscuit during your mom's funeral. You were so handsome back then even you had dark circles under your eyes.
I did not really come here to tend the business of my uncle. I came here because of you.

Listen, if you're father is not going to approve to our relationship then we will run away. "

My mind was buzzing with confusion.
I was dazed by all the news that he had bombarded on me. He knew me since then? How come I didn't notice?
I didn't know what to reply to him.
The moon had witnessed his confession. I didn't expect that my evening would turn out to be like this.

I was overwhelmed with loads of emotions, but one dominated. It was the familiar clenched in my stomach.
The all too good sensation that warmed my heart.

" To tell you honestly, I was confused. I still am right now.
But no matter how bewildered I am right now, there's one thing that I am sure about, I have a liking on you John Wyatt. No matter how I ditch this feeling I could not.
Your presence just give me chills."

He looked at me and our eyes met.
He was looking at me with his eyes full of passion and yes I could see LOVE.
We had had enough talking.
We were drawn to each other.

I pushed myself against his hard body and kissed him one more time.

We were now breathing one air.
