My story

Chapter; 13

She looked up at me. ‘What do you mean by ‘we can’t’ Reece?. I thought for a few seconds. ‘I’ve got to go home.’ I lied. I didn’t want her to give me head. The problem was I was thinking of Amber the whole time.

I was thinking if I was doing the right thing by Amber. I can’t get with someone who treats her like this. Besides, I don’t like her Olivia in a loving way, I like her because she’s hot. Wait, I don’t even know if I like hr at all!

I mean, she looked hot tonight. But that’s just tonight, all the other times she’s got a cake on her face.

‘Oh, what time is it?’ Olivia said, getting up and brushing the dirt of her knees. ‘9:20, but I have to start walking soon. So we wouldn’t have had time’ I said, portending to be a little bit disappointed.

‘It’s all right, next time.’ She said, seeming like she was trying to fix the disappointment. I pulled up my pants, did my button up and walked over to get my shirt.

I saw it glow in the street light. As I walked over to it, it looked like little bits of the fabric were odd coloured. It was when I held picked it up I realised it had Olivia’s lipstick in it.

Amber’s not going to be happy. I chucked my top on and walked back over to Olivia who was fixing her make up in a little hand held mirror containing foundation powder.

She looked up at me. ‘Will you walk me to my car?’ She asked, while putting her mirror and lipstick back in her clutched hand held black purse, the fit tightly in her hand

‘Sure’ I said, feeling a little guilty for rejecting her.

I walked in the front door of my house. I could hear the TV blearing out music. Mum and Dad must be out for a few hours.

I opened the front door slowly and peeped my head around, after seeing that the coast was clear I walked quite fast to my room, avoiding Amber from seeing the evidence that Olivia had been more than 10cm closer to me.

And just as I placed a finger on my door handle, Ambers voice crocked ‘Why so sneaky, Mastin?’

Fuck.

‘Just want to get changed that’s all. I spilt abit of food on my top’ I lied, swallowing with nerves. Amber laughed to herself ‘More like lipstick’ I sighed and turned around and faced her.

Her eyes were red and bloodshot. She nose was red and her cheeks were blotchy. She’s been crying. I slowly walked over to her ‘What’s wrong’ I said, coming a little more closer to her face and inspecting it.

‘Do you hate me yet?’ She said, looking up at me. Her red eyes asked for an answer. I looked into both. Her eyes started to water ‘No, of course not Amber’ I said, but it came out in more of a whisper than strong.

I walked into her room were the body print was made on her bed, from were she’d been lying. I sat on the bed that had been warmed up by her body heat when I was gone.

‘Come here’ I said, while holding out my arm, hinting her to sit next to me, so I could wrap my arm around her. She hesitated a bit, and then made her way over to me. She sat next to me and I put my arm around her shoulders.

‘I won’t hate you, and I never will. You’re beautiful Amber’ I soothed to her, as she sobbed a bit into my chest. She said something what sounded like gibberish, mostly because she was crying and she spoke it into the side of my chest.

I petted her hair for a while and rocked side to side for a bit, settling her down. After a while she moved out of the grip of my arm and wiped some tears away from her wet face. ‘So, we going to blow up this condom or not?’ She said. I sense she felt a little awkward.

I laughed a bit and walked over to a plastic bag containing condoms. Amber sat on the bed and watched me and I ransacked through the bag. ‘So, what did youse do on the date?’ Amber said, while lying down on the bed, getting comfy. My stomach dropped a little. Should I tell her?

‘Nothing much, just sat and ate’ I said, leaving out the information she wanted to know the most. ‘And kissed’ she mocked in my voice. I pulled out the glow in the dark condom and threw it at her ‘Now, blow’ I said walking over to her.

‘Blow what?’ Georgina said as she walked into the dark room. She saw me standing inform of Amber, and  saw her lying on the bed with a opened condom packet in her hands. This looked so wrong.

‘Um, I think I might just, um... ok’ Georgina said in shock, after most likely thinking that we were about to participate in oral sex right before she walked in.

‘This isn’t what it seems Georg’ I laughed as she slowly crept back into the room. ‘Amber’s going to blow the condom up like a balloon, you see, because it’s glow in the dark’ She narrowed her eyes at me. ‘Alright’. She said slowly closing the door.

Well that was embarrassing.

Amber started blowing the condom up, it glowed the room to a bright green colour. She threw it at me from across the room. It hit my bear arm and the lobe went all over it.

I looked back up at her while she poked her tongue out ‘I’m so going to get you back’ I said, while grabbing the balloon and chasing her around the room with it, before pinning her down and smothering it all over her face.

She looked at me, she still looked beautiful even if she had messy hair and lobe all over her face.
