Ch. 11 It Feels So Right Now Hold Me Tight

(OWEN)

"Where's Adam?" I question returning to the group who is now sitting on the bleachers.

"He's dancing with Anya. She and Sav broke up, he's dating Holly J now and it appears that Adam's Woody costume won some points with Anya," Fitz remarks pointing to Adam and Anya on the dance floor.

"An older woman go Adam," I grin.

After a few dances Adam and Anya join us, the dance is only three hours and we spend a lot of it dancing. There's an after party at Above the Dot and Fitz is working at it so he has to leave a little bit early.

"I have to go and get ready for the after party," he tells Clare, "I'll see you over there and Owen will escort you over there, right?" Fitz asks looking at me.

"Of course I will," I grin at Clare.

Fitz gives her a tender kiss and then he leaves to go clock in. We hang out a few more minutes but then decide to head over to Above the Dot so we're among the first ones in. I stand up and hold my arm out to Clare; she links her arm with mine. Drew walks out with his arm around Bianca, Adam and holds his arm out to Anya and we walk out. Clare sees Jake and Katie as we walk to The Dot and she waves to them. They're dressed as a doctor and a nurse and are walking with Marisol and Mo, Marisol is dressed as Poison Ivy and Mo is Bane. When we get to the stairs for Above the Dot I see three guys lingering near them. They are obviously guys from their build and height but they all wear the same cheap black hooded robes and dark masks that cover everything but their chins so I can't see who they are. My attention is taken from the boys when Spinner comes out of the back of the café with Jane Vaughn. His only costume seems to be a black shirt with a skeleton print on it and she's not in costume at all.

"Yeah I'll stick around, even though I'm not in costume it might be fun," Jane says to him and Spin smiles. He goes up the stairs giving a look to the three boys at the bottom of the stairs.

"Hey Jane I thought you were in California," Bianca comments and Jane looks at us.

"I was I've been working my butt off for the last two years and needed a break. School is expensive and I've been taking a lot of classes at first I thought I'd graduate early but I really just burnt out. Anyway I got back a couple of months ago but I've been busy looking for a job and now I have one and needed a night off. Well anyway I knew Spin still ran The Dot so I thought I'd drop by and see what was going on tonight," Jane tells us.

"Cool you should hang out with us tonight. You remember Owen, Drew and Bianca I'm sure," Anya comments.

"Of course it's good to see you all," Jane grins and I swear her eyes linger on me for an extra second as she scans our group. "You all look great in costumes, so Anya and Owen who do you have on your arms?"

"This is Drew's brother Adam, we just happened to dress as Jessie and Woody," Anya tells her.

"And this is Jake's sister Clare, she's new to DeGrassi this year but she's in the same grade as Adam," I explain.

"Cool it's nice to meet you both," Jane grins as we start to go in.

Fitz is behind the bar and Clare goes over to give him a gentle kiss then we all sit down on the sofa and chairs in the back. Jane sits next to me and we start talking, I fill her in on everything that's been going on at DeGrassi and I tell her that Clare is mute so that Jane isn't surprised when Clare doesn't talk and doesn't ask about it. Adam and Anya spend the night dancing and talking. I spend the night talking with Jane; we never leave our spot we just talk. Clare sits with us, spends a bit of time with Jake and all the time she can with Fitz. She's staying at his place tonight, Jake will cover for her. She stays there as much as she can but if I were in her situation I would too. It's still a school night so the club closes at eleven and Spinner starts kicking people out. As people begin to leave Clare goes to use the washroom. The rest of us get up to leave and I see the three guys in dark hoods and masks blocking Clare from coming back to us.

"Hey back off," I bark at them. They look at me and move away so Clare can get through. "You okay?" I ask her and she nods. The three guys in dark hoods and masks leave and we're the last ones in the club.

"I have to help close up but Spin said Clare can hang out with us while we close up so you guys can take off whenever you want," Fitz says coming over to us when everyone else is out of the club.

"Cool see you guys tomorrow," I smile and wave to Fitz and Clare while the rest of us leave.

"My car is here. Are you still on the football team Owen?" Jane asks.

"Yeah so is Drew," I nod.

"Cool if you have a game Friday maybe I'll come watch you play," Jane smiles.

"Uh yeah we do have a game," I grin.

"Great then I'll see you Friday night," Jane says with a wink before getting in her car.

"Hey maybe you and Jane and me and Adam can double next Saturday," Anya comments as we start walking back to school and our cars.

"Double? You want to go on a date with me?" Adam asks her.

"Yeah how about after school tomorrow?" Anya proposes.

"Umm yeah great," he grins while Drew chuckles a little.

"Good then I'll see you tomorrow," Anya smiles kissing his cheek before getting in her car.

"What a Halloween, Adam's got a date with a senior and I think I have a date with the only female football player ever at DeGrassi!"

(CLARE)

"Did you have fun Clare?" Spinner asks as he and Fitz start closing up with the other employees.

Yes I did. Can I help close up?

"Uh sure I guess. Why don't you help Fitz wipe down the counter," Spinner says.

"No don't help, just sit here," Fitz comments lifting me up and setting me on the counter, "and be your beautiful self."

"Well that was a success but I think we should clean more of this tomorrow," a woman remarks coming out of the kitchen. She's tall and slender with blonde hair.

"Yeah we'll just straighten up and finish closing procedures," Spinner replies and kisses her. "Clare this is my wife Emma," Spinner tells me.

"It's nice to meet you Clare Spin's told me about you," she smiles at me.

It's nice to meet you too.

Emma helps them close up and I leave with Fitz walking back to the school and his car. We get in and he drives us to his place. Bianca's already here she was brought home by Drew and Adam. Fitz unlocks the door quietly and we go into his room.

"Do you want me to sleep on the sofa?" Fitz asks and I shake my head. "We should get ready for bed then," he says.

I have a bag here already, after Thanksgiving and Uncle Norman's visit I've been sleeping here quite a bit and Jake's been covering for me at home. He usually gets up early and tells our parents we have to be at school early for something. Because I sleep over so often I always have a bag here and Jake will bring a bag with fresh clothes for me to school. I change for bed and brush my teeth. I wait for Fitz to come in from the washroom and pull him to the bed before he can turn off the light. I roll on my side and pull him to me attaching my lips to his. He rolls on his side, his tongue sliding softly over my lower lip and they part for him. His tongue slips in and swirls around my tongue, my nails rake into the short hairs at the back of his head and scratch gently.

Fitz's hand caresses my arm gently and after a while of making out his hand moves from my arm to my hip. After a moment his fingers pull at my nightshirt, it starts creeping up my body until my panties are exposed although I am under the covers. When his fingertips brush the skin on my belly my muscles tighten and a breath hitches in my throat. My skin tingles slightly and a tickle builds deep in my belly, I have a sudden desire for him to touch me more, to somehow be a part of him and him a part of me. Just as suddenly as this desire comes it ceases when his fingers touch my breasts and my stomach fills with butterflies and fear! Not fear that he'll hurt me but a fear I can't explain or really comprehend. I grab his hand and stop him before he goes any farther; Fitz breaks the kiss and gives me a regretful and sheepish look.

"I'm sorry Clare I didn't mean to go so far, when it comes to girls my hand have a mind of their own," he apologizes.

I smile at his funny apology and he starts to pull his hand out from my nightshirt. I grab his hand again to stop him from withdrawing it completely. I reach over to the nightstand to get the little whiteboard he keeps in here. After I stayed over on Thanksgiving he bought a few small whiteboards with pens that have erasers on the tips and are magnetic so they stick to the board. There's this one in his room, one in the kitchen and one in the living room, I thought it was really sweet that he thought of it.

It's okay I liked it but it's a little scary too. Just go slow.

"We don't have to do anything, I'm more than happy to just kiss you," he tells me.

I know but I want you too. I like the feeling when you touch me.

"When you want me to stop tug gently on my ear, it will be our signal that you've had enough. Tonight and for anything else."

I nod and bite my lip with an anticipating smile. Fitz grins and kisses me softly but briefly. His eyes lock onto mine and his hand drifts up my skin again. Another breath hitches in my throat; I feel gooseflesh on my skin in the wake from the heat of his hand. I release the breath when his hand cups my breast. His hand holds it tenderly, his fingers spread out, he squeezes softly and jolt goes through me! Like a tickle of excited electricity I feel from my lips to the spot between my legs. My body moves on it's own, shifting a little and my belly tightens. I haven't any idea what's going on in my body it's like I've lost control of it all together. This must be what horny is; desire, true carnal and primal desire. I want nothing more than Fitz's touch and to be with him in every way it's possible to do so. Fitz's hand moves from my right breast to my left and his lips attach to mine. I grip the back of his neck, my nails scratching into his hair and I press my body into his. I feel the bulge in his boxers and I know he's turned on too. He gently squeezes my breast and then withdraws his hand and pulls out of the kiss.

"I think we'd better stop there I don't think you're ready to go any farther than that. I'll be right back and then we should get to sleep we have school tomorrow."

He kisses my forehead and gets out of the bed. I release a breath when he's gone and my body relaxes but I still feel that tickle. He returns to the room after a few moments, turns off the light, gets in bed and turns on his side holding me in his arms. I fall asleep after a short time of being in the comfort and solace of his arms. We wake up to his alarm the next morning and we get ready for school. Bianca takes her car and I ride with Fitz. When we get to school I see Jake on the steps and hug him good morning.

"Hey how was your night?" Jake asks.

Great. I had a great time at the dance and the party.

"Good. You'll have to sleep at home tonight," Jake tells me.

Can I sleep at Fitz's place this weekend? And when will I be ready for sex? I type on my phone and show it to my brother and he goes pale for some reason.

"You…what were you…you're not ready for sex," Jake stumbles over his words and then looks at Fitz with a slightly angry look.

"We didn't…I mean just first base but I stopped it there and…you know I'm just going to go in to my locker," Fitz stumbles over his words now. The mention of sex seems to have rendered them both to babbling idiots and I find it funny. Fitz gives me a slightly apologetic look and then runs inside, I look at Jake with my eyebrows furrowed.

"Okay I do trust Fitz with you but I think it's time you got some sex education. Come with me," Jake insists taking my hand and pulling me inside. He finds an empty classroom and we go in, he locks the door and I sit on a desk. "Okay see at this age your body is…" Jake begins and then stops and I arch an eyebrow at him. "I know you like Fitz and no one else has ever cared about you the way he does. I know he really cares about you a lot and I understand wanting to…experience those feelings to their fullest but you are not ready for sex. Or anything except kissing he's your first boyfriend."

But if I'm feeling it then how can I not be ready? My body feels ready. Even if it's a little scary, but Fitz really cares about me, and I like when he touches me and how I feel when I'm with him. I love being with him and the sensation of his touch, I want to be a part of him and him a part of me.

"You just aren't ready, your body is but you aren't just trust me. I know how you feel about Fitz and I'm happy that he makes you feel that way but you need to wait."

Why?

"Because you do. What you feel isn't necessarily what you want and even if it is you need to wait. It's just you don't know anything about sex and if you get pregnant Mom and Dad will…I don't actually want to think about what they'd do."

Then teach me about sex.

"Okay when a guy and a girl like each other…no uh…see your body feels…no umm maybe it's better if you get a female perspective on this. You go to class and I'll see if Katie can help after school when you're done tutoring Fitz."

Jake opens the door and I shrug. I go to my locker and find Fitz talking with Owen but they stop quickly when I approach.

"Hey does Jake want to kill me?" Fitz asks and I shake my head just as the bell rings. "We should get to class see you Owen," Fitz says waving to Owen. Fitz puts his arm around me and we walk to class.

We greet Adam when we get to class and he tells us he has a date with Anya after school. When homeroom ends Fitz walks Adam and I to math. I spend most of math working on exercises for Fitz since I'm ahead in this class. When math lets out Adam stays behind talking with Dave and K.C. about what to do with Anya today. I go to the front doors to wait for the others and hear Jake talking to Katie, when I realize they're talking about me I hide behind a wall and the stairs to the second story.

"You want me to teach your sister sex ed? Doesn't she learn that in school?"

"Not everything just answer her questions you're a girl it will be better coming from you. And no she hasn't before this she was either homeschooled or in a school for special needs kids. They didn't teach sex ed there they taught them to do simple things. Fitz is her first boyfriend they haven't been dating all that long and they've already gone to first base. She's never had anyone care about her like that I just want her to understand what's going on in her body and not go farther than she's ready to."

"Okay bring her over when she's done tutoring Fitz, my parents will be out tonight anyway and I guess it would be good for Maya to hear it too."

"Thanks come on I'll buy you lunch at The Dot for being an amazing girlfriend," Jake says and they walk off.

"So you need some sex education," a male voice laughs and I look behind me to see Fitz's stepbrother Steve and his friend. "We'll give you some sex education," he grins maliciously and pins me to the wall with his arm and running a finger along my cheek. "I heard my moron of a stepbrother telling his moron friend that you don't even make a noise when you're turned on. I bet I can get a noise out of you."

Update next Sunday will pick up probably in Fitz's pov from earlier the same day. It will also include Clare's lesson with Katie.
