Alexis's pov
-
"I'm tired" Jade whispered
Everyone was scattered across the floor, half asleep. I was braced against the sofa. I noticed Abeke and Tokyo cuddling in a sleeping bag. A smile appeared on my lips, my eyes wondered over to Cameron and Hayden who were whispering and giggling about something. There's nothing cuter than those two
"Come here" I patted on the floor next to me, Jade made her way over and laid her head on my chest
"Good night" she mumbled before dozing off
"Good night" I whispered, placing a kiss on her head
"What about me?" Isabel asked, her arms crossed against her chest. A smirk appeared on my lips
"I got space for you too" I said, she playfully rolled her eyes and cuddled into my side
"What are you thinking about?" I questioned closing my eyes and titling my head back into the sofa
"You" she mumbled
"What about?" I chuckled
"You're really sweet you know that? People just underestimate you. You're more than what you think you are, since the first day I laid my eyes on you I knew you were different. You're special, you're unlike Alot of people out there and you see the best in them. You think beyond everyone else, you fit into a whole category for yourself and that's amazing" she said while trailing her fingers over my stomach
My heart sunk into my chest, the butterflies swarmed around and a tingle left where her finger tips trailed over
"You know, no one has ever told me anything like that" I mumbled, our eyes locked
"I'm glad I could be your first" she smiled sweetly
"Where did I honestly find you?" I questioned
"In a tent on a lawn-" we laughed
"No, I'm serious. I need to personally thank the person that sent you to me. You're amazing Isabel, you're so unique and I love everything about you"
"Oh? What's that?" she smirked and faced me, her eyes landed on my lips before returning back to my eyes
"Well, you take your pain and turn it into something special. You're not afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve, it's one of the things I admire about you. And you're the sweetest fucking person I've ever met" I smiled
"If you keep that up, I might just fall for you Alexis" she whispered
"Would that be a bad thing?" I questioned
"I just don't want to get hurt again" she said, her eyes admired the floor
I wiggled my hand out of Jade's embrace, the purpose haired girl fell onto the floor, I flinched as her head hit the wooden floor. Isabel and I looked over to see Jade still asleep, thankfully. We chuckled before I brought my attention back towards Isabel. My hands cupped both of her cheeks
"I can promise you one thing. I won't hurt you" I say
"Now how am I gonna believe that" she questioned
"Do you want me all for yourself?" I questioned
"That's too selfish-"
"Be. Selfish." I said
"What about Jade"
"Fuck Jade, this is between us" I said
"Are you sure about this?" she questioned
"I've never been more sure about something in my life" I said using her words against her
"Ugh kiss me already" she smiled
I attached our lips, my mouth brushed her lower lip, like the touch of butterfly wings. In a sigh Isabel uttered the almost inaudible sound of a kitten, desperately wanting more. The next touch on her lip was the tender caress of my tongue. Isabella's soft lips parted and she let my demanding tongue touching her own, searching her limits playfully, but she did not feel like limiting me. She let herself sink deeper into this kiss and allowed her tongue to dance vividly with mine. I pulled away, remembering our friends are right in the room, not that I care, but I had other plans
"Let's get away" I say
"Right now?" she asked confused
"Yeah, come on" I said holding my hands out, she took her hands in mine and we walked towards the door
"Shhh" I motioned to Hayden, she nodded and continued her conversation with Cameron
"Where are we goinngg" Isabella laughed as we snuck through the halls
I snapped my neck back and forth looking out to those guards I wasn't that close with. Isabel giggled as I tried my best Pink panther impression
Her thumb rubbed circles in my palm and I felt the sparks travel through my body, goosebumps crawled against my skin
We ran through the halls and I pushed through the back door. My eyes scanned the court yard to see no one around.
I quickened my pace as the clouds began to gather in the sky. Up to now, the sky had been clear, but it was changing. The beautiful clear black shade was beginning to be replaced with dark gray clouds. Large pillows of cloud were forming, I got the first splatter of rain when I was halfway across the court
"Let's play" I smirked
"Basketball in the rain?" she questioned
"Yes, let's see how you can shoot your shot" I said holding the ball in my palm
"And what If I win?" she questioned
"Which I doubt I will, buttt you can do whatever you want with me" I said smirking
"And if you win?"
"You're mine" I said pecking her forehead
"Bring it on bitch" Isabella said
I dribbled the ball between my legs and my body leaned forward, building momentum.
Isabel held her hands out, attempting to block me, I dashed to the right but she swatted the ball out of my hands and started bouncing it. I was left dumbfounded at what just happened
"You're slow on your heels there Graceffa" she said before shooting the ball into the net, it made a swish sound and my jaw dropped
"Boom, that just happened" she said as they ball rolled back towards her
"OK, okay, I underestimated you. But I was going easy on you" I said
"Do me a favor-"
"Mhm?" I asked
Isabel took the distraction and shooted the ball into the net once again, my eyes grew wide. Who knew Isabel had game?
Droplets of moisture began to drip from the leaves. They were sprinkling onto the grass like a gardener’s hose. Then the rainfall became more intense. A wall of rain moved over the basketball court and the drops were drumming against the cement floor. So much rain was falling that the sound blurred into one long, whirring noise. It reminded me of the rotor blades on a helicopter.
"Just give up now Alexis" she smiled
"I'll give up when I die" I hissed. My back pressed against Isabella in attempt to block her as she bounced the ball. She dashed to the left before darting back to the right, her wrist flicked the ball into the net
"Well, I just ended you" she said
"Fucking hell" I chuckled
"Good game" I said as I held my hand out so she could shake it
"And my prize?" she asked
"I'm not much of a prize but here I am" I said motioning to myself
"You're more than enough" she whispered before bringing my face closer to hers. The moonlight reflected onto her creamy skin, her lips looked more plump than usual, the light glistened in her eyes.
She attached our lips again. There is something so heavenly about a kiss in the rain, a tender moment that just won't wait. It is that burst of love that is expressed, not caring if the water soaks through to chill the skin. It is a connection that shows the strength of the feeling, the mutual need. It is a rebellion against the elements. Nature can bring the rain but our inner sunshine comes through just the same. Plus, I really like the rain
She kissed the droplets from my lips, and I felt her lips smile against mine.
The rain runs down our faces to where our lips meet, each of us tasting the cold drops. Instead of detracting from the intensity of the moment it brings us to new heights. Isabel pushes her lips in more firmly and the wave that runs through me is intoxicating, making my head swim as I pull back to take in her beautiful face.
She swept my hair aside and kissed me just over the collarbone. Isabel nibbled at my ear, and then sank her self into my arms. I hung my fingers on her waistband, dragging her closer. She buried her face in my shoulder curve, her hands flexing around my back. She gave a reduced groan.
"I really like you" she said, a smile spread across my lips
"I like you see" I mumbled
"What do we do now?" she asked
"I'm all yours."
