The Unexpected

13

We later get to her house after getting food for us to eat at her place.

"Sorry I bailed on the movie." I said.

"It's fine. I was getting too cold out there anyways. And I feel sticky and gross because the beach weather so I'm going to shower first real quick" she says. "Do you mind if I shower too? After you" I said. "Sure! No problem." "Okay I'll wait till you're done. I won't eat without you" "you can eat! Don't wait" she says. "No it's fine! Go" I said. She rolls her eyes and walks away disappearing into her room.

I relaxed on the couch and went on my phone to text my mom.

"Can you keep her till 4pm? I promise I'll be back before you have to leave" I texted.

"Jennifer again?"

"Again? What do u mean again? I usually pick her up in the morning"

"You know you barely get Veronica during the weekends and you only have Veronica at night and early morning during the weekdays. The rest of the time she's with me or at school or with Vanessa."

"Mom I know stop putting all the pressure on me. I promise it'll be fixed. Just give me time. I've been making up time to Veronica anyways"

"Yeah but she grew up so attached to you. Now that you're dating she barely sees you and you know she hates it."

I sigh hard. "Okay mom I'll pick her up at 3. Is that fine? I'll spend the rest of the day with her."

"I don't care what time you come I'm just trying to prove a point that you need to find some other time to spend with that girl you're dating and put Veronica first. I know we wanted you to date but just don't forget about your daughter. Don't let her feel abandoned again like her real mom did to her when she was a baby. And most definitely do NOT act like you have two lives." She replies and that hits me hard. My eyes kind of got watery. I get weak on that topic. Veronica's life has revolved so much into nothing but happiness and care from me that I sometimes forget that her mom left her when she was a baby. She doesn't know that exactly but she does know she's adopted. I promised her when I first got her that I'd be by her side all the time whenever she needed me.

Now I wanna go home and get her.

"Okay your turn" Leah says walking out in some gray joggers and a white tank top. "Thanks" I said collecting myself together on the inside and got up. "Towels and extra underwear and clothes are all there ready for you."

"Thank you" i said again and left to go to her bathroom.

After I finished I came back out to the living room. Thankfully she didn't start eating yet.

"Good I'm starving" she says as I sitting across from her on the same couch. I sat kind of facing her so one leg is bent laying down and my other leg was also bent but propped up. The thing is, I'm in shorts and a large T-shirt of hers, so I'm using the shirt to kind of cover in between my legs so I won't be too exposey.

"by the way I don't have a bikini for tomorrow. I didn't plan this right" I said. "Oh shit..that's true." "I'll go buy some anyways. I need new ones. My old ones are getting too small for my ass." I said. She smirks and looks down at her food and kept eating.

"You can borrow regular clothes though if you'd like for the mean time" she says. "I'd love to! Thanks" I said. She looks at me and gives me a thumbs up then reaches for her cup of soda on the table stand behind her. I watched her for a second. I never really noticed how nice her boobs are. But then I noticed something else..

She sat back properly and took a sip and continued to eat. I just kept glancing at her boobs trying not to make it obvious. Then I cleared my throat and picked up a fry. "Do you..have a..nipple piercing?" I giggle. She immediately looks up at me then down at the boob that had the piercing.

"Yes I do" She says and covers her boob for a second. "Sorry I just noticed because I- your shirt- you were leaning back and-"

"It's fine." She said and shakes her head then kept eating. I shut myself up and continued eating also. "I know you like to lurk here and there when I'm not looking" She says. "I-" I pause and lick the inside walls of my mouth and smile because I can't believe she just said that.

"Says the one who can't keep her eyes off my ass. Good luck tomorrow" I said. She raises her brows at me then looks away.

"At least your ass is visible and obvious. You could've looked anywhere but my boobs" she says. I smile and flip my hair over to one side. "Why do you have it pierced anyways?" I ask. She turns her head my way again but doesn't exactly look at me. "It's cute. Nothing special about it. But it did hurt like a bitch" she continues to chew her food.

"I bet...isn't it supposed to make sex feel even better too?" I ask.

"Haha yeah.."

I nod my head and suck in my cheeks from inside my mouth trying not to smile. This girl is kinda freaky.

"So does it?" I asked. "I don't know..I got this after I broke up with the last girl I was with" she says. "Mmm I see" I said and looked away at the tv.

"Hopefully it does work" she says.

"I mean you don't need to hope if the person you have sex with is good in bed anyways" I said.

"That's true. I meant like- you know. I just mean I hope the piercing thing is true because that's one of the biggest reasons why I got it" she says.

"Mm"

"Arrrreee you good in bed?" She asks me and I laugh right away. She really asked me. "Why me?" I ask. She smiles and looks away. I smiled too.  "I haven't had sex in years. I've got cobwebs" I joked. "Stuuuupid" she laughs and rolls her eyes. "You cant possibly be saying you haven't touched yourself throughout those years. I mean when you gotta get it in..you gotta." She continued.

"Leah!" I giggle and throw a fry at her. She raises one brow and waits for a response. "I mean yeah I have but-" "exactly" she mutters. I start to blush and continued eating.

We didn't discuss anything about that sexual shit any further. I didn't want it to get awkward so I changed the subject.

Now we're in her bed watching a movie. We're both sitting up as I'm laying back against the cushioned headboard and she's laying on my chest.

"Don't you think biscuit should sleep up here tonight too?" I ask her. "It's fine" she mutters. I guess she's getting sleepy.

I bring my hand to her hair and stroked it softly and also scratching her head softly.
"It's okay to sleep in this bed with you right?" I ask her. "Mhmmm" she mumbles sleepily. I smile and kissed her head. "Goodnight" I softly said. "Goodnight" she replies. She makes herself more comfortable and tangled her legs with mine. I just love how comfortable she is with me. Letting me sleep in her bed with her, cuddling and shit. It's makes me happy.
