What if I fall? - Rini au

12. too close

POV Nini

Before he could go back and beat EJ up again. I pulled him upstairs with me and he didn't even argue about it.

We got into a room and i closed the door. He sat on the bed and his breathing was still fast because of what just happened.

We just looked at each other without saying anything. I leaned against the door and he was sitting on the bed. His hand was bleeding and he had blood on his face.

I got into the bathroom which was attached to the room so i didn't had to go outside. I took a towel and poured water on it.

I sat next to him taking his hand and put the towel on it to get the blood off.

„You okay?", I asked it was the first time one of us said something since we got here

„yeah... you don't have to do that", he said pointing to the towel

„I know", i said still not stopping

After a few minutes of silence i spoke up again.

„are you really mad at him? or was it just show again?", i asked him

„no, it wasn't for show", he said looking directly at me

I took the towel and put it on the place on his face where he was bleeding.

„Why did you audition for the musical? you hate musicals", i said slightly laughing

„I wanted to impress someone", he said smiling at me

„Who?", why would I ask that. Ugh. Nini whyy

But he didn't answer me. We were both looking at each other and he started to look at my lips and back to my eyes.

My breath started to pick up... and why was it getting hotter. Shit. I turned to look away from him. I started conversation so it wasn't that weird.

„EJ was acting weird today like really weird", i said not looking at him

„Mhm", he said still starring at me

„like he has never acted like that"

„Mhm", he said not paying attention to what I say. Suddenly he put my hair behind my ear to see me better. And while he was touching me I could feel the electricity between us

I turned to him, „are you even listening?"

„you are beautiful", he said to me totally ignoring what I said and i could not hide my blushing. Shit.

He pulled me onto his lap and I panicked, „w-what are y-you doing?", „getting comfortable", he said smiling at me.

His arms were around my waist, so that we were facing each other just inches away.

„So were is your boyfriend", he asked me

„i don't really know", i said trying to look away from him

„what would he say if he knew that we were so close right now?", he asked with a grin

„probably kill you", i said smiling back at him.

„I'll take the risk", he said leaning in, but i panicked before he could kiss me.

„y-you said you don't take advantage of girls", i said trying to convince myself that i don't want this. I mean, I don't want this. yeah. I don't

„It's not taking advantage of a girl when she leans into you too and Im not even holding your waist you could just get off of my lap", he said smiling.

I looked down to see that he was right he wasn't holding me, so I got off of his lap to make this less awkward. What is this kid doing to me?

„We should get down", i said trying to change the topic and he nodded. Before he could open the door I spoke up

„Wait- Ricky, you need to promise me to not kill him", i said and he frowned

„But he deserves it", he said trying to convince me

„No, no, promise me or...", I was thinking about it, „... i won't talk to you ever again", i said

„you think that has any power over me?"

Shit. Ok that was dumb. „Eh", i said not knowing what to say i wasn't really thinking when I talked

„ok fine. I won't hurt him, but only because of you", he said

„wow, im flattered", i said jokingly

———————————————————————
Ricky went down first so it won't look weird. When I got down Ethan was sitting there. Shit. does he know?

„Where were you?", he asked me.

„Just at the bathroom", i said trying not to talk in my British accent.

„It's getting late we should go", i said to him and he nodded.

Ethan and I arrived at my house it was a bit weird because we talked barely while driving.

„Can I come inside?", he asked me and I just nodded.

„Hey honey you are home", Momma D said

„Hey, i brought Ethan", i said trying to make this less awkward

„Omg! Ethan! What are you doing here", Momma C said pulling him into a hug

„I just missed Nini", he said smiling at her and my moms went 'Aw'

We walked into my room and I sat onto my bed and he next to me.

"So did you like the party?", i asked him trying to make conversation

"Yeah it was good but it's better that we are alone now", he said moving closer to me

"Yeah", i said trying to convince myself.

He started kissing my neck and I don't know why but I just had to think about Ricky... and the way he touched me. And then I imagined him touching me.

When his hand got on my thigh I knew I couldn't do it.

"We should stop", i said getting off of the bed

"why", he asked

"I just can't do it right now... I mean my moms are down stairs", I felt so bad for lying because he is a really sweet guy but I just couldn't bring myself to tell him what happened

"yeah, you are probably right", he said

A bit later he left and I could not stop thinking about Ricky Bowen. What is he doing to me?
