Curves In A Bikini (Completed & Partially Edited)

Chapter 17: Pain is Temporary*

      "That's not your job, it's mine." I told him.

I sat up and moved my ankle. I hissed out in pain. "What hurts?" He asked, now a bit concerned.

I shook my head and grabbed the crutches standing up. "She hurt your foot?" He asked looking at my ankle.

"She stabbed it with her heel and twisted it so that its badly sprained," I went to the dresser and grabbed my Adidas hoodie. "and she bruised a few other places, but I'll be fine. I'm just not going to school before the wedding." I told him quietly.

I made my way back to the bed and sat next to him. I moved my crutches to the floor and rubbed my hands together a bit.

"And I still want you to come." I told him shyly.

He smiled a little. "I still planned on going, as long as it's alright with you." He touched a bruise on my face and I whimpered, even though the touch was very soft.

"Sorry," He looked concerned. "I can't believe that bitch did all this to you." He stroked my cheek softly where there were no bruises.

I leaned into the warmth of his touch but he pulled away after a moment.

"Aylin?" He asked me. "Yes?" I replied brushing a few strands of curly brown hair from my face.

"Do you think I'll ever get to kiss you again?" He asked hopelessly.

"I hope so," I told him with a small smile. "I'm just... scared," I told him taking his hand in mine. "I'm not ready... I've never well... been in a relationship before and you were honestly my first kiss." I told him softly.

He looked shocked. "A girl as beautiful as you never had a first kiss? Well I'm glad I'm the only one who's kissed you." He smirked a little bit, raising my spirits.

I smiled. "Yeah me too."

"Thank you Adrian." I reached towards him and he pulled me in for a loose hug, knowing that I was bruised.

I tucked my head in his neck, enjoying his sweet scent of Cologne and beach.

He held me for a moment longer.

"I really am sorry, about everything." I told him, my breath whisking against his soft neck.

"I know." He pulled away with a small smile.

"Do you want to eat something? Your dad said you hadn't eaten since yesterday, that you were feeling sick this morning." He stood up and got my crutches for me.

I nodded. "Yeah but I can't make anything with these, is my dad still home?" I asked as I walked towards my bedroom door.

"No, he said he had some business to take care of, that's part of why I'm here, he asked me if I could stick around and help you." He opened the door for me and we both went into the hall and down the stairs towards the kitchen.

"It's okay, I'll order a pizza." I told him getting my phone out and calling the only local pizza place on the island.

"What kind do you like?" I asked, covering the bottom of the phone.

"Meat lovers of course." He smiled.

I ordered one meat lovers and one half cheese, half pepperoni.

I hobbled over to the couch and got my wallet fishing out a 20 and 10 dollar bill.
