Dig if u will the picture
Of u and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can u my darling
Can u picture this?
Dream if u can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and u
How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world thats so cold? (so cold)
Maybe Im just 2 demanding
Maybe Im just like my father 2 bold
Maybe youre just like my mother
Shes never satisfied (shes never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
12:03
Starbucks, Westchester
October 5th
"I think this is becoming a tradition." Claire said eating a chocolate muffin. "What is?" Dylan answered, popping a piece of bagel in her mouth. "Us going to Starbucks on Saturday mornings." Massie and Kristen agreed, Alicia's eyes glued to the screen of her sidekick. The PC'd been ignoring her for the most part, and she planned to leave last night, but her mom was "too tired" to come get her and she was now forced to sit in a room with girls who hated her. Instead of talking to them, she texted.
"What do you want to do to-" Claire was stopped short by "Live Your Life by Rihanna and T.I." blasting from her phone. "Hey Cam." she answered after checking the id. They talked for about 2 minutes, and Claire hung up the phone smiling.
"What happened?" Kristen asked excitedly. She was a bit of an Alicia when it came to relationships.
"Cam just invited us," her eyes rolled as she said the next part. "all of us,"
"Including Leesh?" Massie whispered to her. Claire nodded, and they glanced over at the girl who paid them no attention.
"To meet them at Slice of Heaven in 20 minutes." The girls all whisper-screamed, and they looked over to Alicia, someone had to tell her.
"Slice of Heaven, 20 minutes." Dylan said monotonely, not caring to look at the girl. Alicia signaled she heard with a roll of her eyes and went back to texting.
"Okay then, we need to leave, like now." Massie said standing, bringing her lime green Kate Spade tote with her.
15 minutes later...
The PC arrived at Slice of Heaven, all of them nervous in some way or another. Of course no one one would have known because they walked in gracefully, not touching their hair or applying more gloss, even though the urge to do so was almost uncontrollable.
As soon as they entered the brick oven-like restaurant, they spotted the guys they were there for. "Hey!" Claire said first, running to hug Cam. She plopped into her boyfriend's lap, winding her arms around his neck. "Hey babe, I missed you." he said sweetly into her ear, kissing her lips quickly.
Massie followed after her, sitting next to Josh, the furthest she could possibly be from Derrick. Kristen, Dylan and Alicia sat next to their respective boyfriend's. Massie felt so left out, she could've cried. This was not how it was supposed to happen. She was supposed to be with Derrick, not Alicia. He was hers, not anyone else's. They were Massington for god's sake. It's like Bradgelina, when something sounded that good, you didn't mess that up. Alicington? Nu-uh. All of these thoughts attacked Massie at once, and before she could stop them, tears rolled down her cheeks, first in streams, and soon in rivers. To avoid more shame, she got up and left for the bathroom. If anyone saw her like this, Massie Block could be finished.
She hadn't noticed, however, the boy that watched her every move. The boy that still cared more than he'd let on. The boy who wished that they'd never broken up. Derrick left the table quickly, much to Alicia's surprise, and ran to the bathroom, in search of the one who really mattered to him.
Reaching the bathroom in record time, he hesitated before opening the door. Whether he opened the door, determined the direction of them. Their whole existence.
Now or never. Derrick said, making sure he didn't psych himself out like he did before he was about to play a huge game. Pushing open the door, he found Massie, looking as vulnerable as she could ever be. She was curled into a ball, rocking back and forth, getting her multicolored tweed, Miu Miu skirt getting dirty.
Derrick feared this Massie. Massie angry at him, sure, Massie wanting him dead, go for it, but Massie in a ball shaking uncontrollably? He didn't know how to deal with it. Derrick turned the lock, and walked over to her slowly, taking her into his arms and standing her up as he reached her.
Massie turned over to face Derrick's chest, holding onto his shirt as if it was a life jacket and she was about to drown. "I'm sorry, I should've never broke up with you. My mom forced me. I got grounded, and she made me break up with you!" Massie sobbed, repeating it brokenly, over and over again. Derrick wrapped his hands around her and kissed the top of her head. The idea of holding her, of kissing her, felt so natural, so normal, that he didn't know how he'd survived so long without her. "I love you Massie Block." He whispered to her. He hadn't been sure if he heard her but she did.
"Does this mean we can be together?" Massie asked, now that she'd calmed down a little.
"Well yea, I mean, I love you, and this isn't a fairytale, but I do want for us to live happily ever after." Massie smiled at this, and laughed through tears, sniffling a little. Turning to the mirror to examine the damage, she almost passed out she looked so horrible.
"How can you look at me?" Massie asked, her face puffy and nose running. "Cuz, you're beautiful." He said back, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind.
"Well, you're not ugly." Massie said, turning around and kissing his lips quickly. Even though it only lasted three seconds, it displayed how much they wanted, no needed, each other.
"Uhm hello! I need to pee!" Someone knocked angrily,interrupting them, as if they were trying to break the door with their fists.
Massie looked at Derrick in confusion, and he quickly walked over, and unlocked the door, hiding behind it so that whoever was on the other side wouldn't think they were getting down in a bathroom.
The door swung open, an angry Alicia with her hands on her hips standing in the doorway. "Look Block, I know my boyfriend is in here somewhere, so just tell me so I can just get him and we can leave." She smirked as she emphasized my boyfriend trying to rub it in.
"Don't you mean my boyfriend Rivers?" Massie said, pursing her lips. Even though her makeup was smudged, and her hair messed up, she still exuded confidence.
"What are you talking about? Did you forget that he's mine now?" The smirk never leaving her face.
"FYI, he's actually mine. We just made up."
"How desperate are you Mass? Making things up now are we? You just can't handle the idea of me being better can you? Face it. I'm prettier, richer, and I have a boyfriend."
"Um, No you don't." Derrick said, letting the door swing closed. "I'm back with Massie now." he said, wrapping his arm around her waist.
"But.." Alicia whimpered, her eyes flashing in embarassment. She knew that she now faced total LBR'dom. Pulling her phone out of her white leather Chloe Paddington bag, she dialed her driver's number. He was around the corner just in case something happened and she needed to leave quickly. She hung up just as quick as she dialed, and stomped out of the bathroom, tan leather Chloe ankle boots, clacking against the tile and fading as the front door slammed.
"I'm glad that's over with." Massie said turning on the faucet and splashing her face repeatedly with water. She knew that this was only the end for now. Alicia wasn't one to give up easily. "I'll meet you out there." Derrick said, leaving the bathroom, and walking back towards the table.
11.5 minutes later...
"You guys should totally sleep over my house tonight." Dylan said, as she interlaced fingers with Jake. "Uh. Won't your mom care?" Derrick said, looking at her like she had fifteen heads. "Well, she's not here, duh. She's in the city till next week, and my sisters are in London. They have decided to "home-school" themselves and they're finishing high school while traveling through Europe." Derrick nodded, and Kemp looked at her cocking his eyebrow. "So no one's there?" Dylan shook her head no, and leaned against Jake.
"My mom will never let me have a sleepover with boys." Claire said, rolling her eyes in annoyance for her mother. "Tell her your sleeping over, just don't tell her about the extra guests." Massie said as if it was obvious.
"Yea, Jacqueline is in Brooklyn for the weekend. I was supposed to be at Dyl's anyway."
"What 'bout us? What am I supposed to tell my mum?" Jake asked, knowing his mother wouldn't approve.
"Just tell her you're over my house." Plovert said, shrugging his shoulders. Plovert's parents were never around.
20 minutes later....
"Let's get in the pool!" Claire yelled, lifting the edges of her yellow hibiscus print Juicy Couture shirt, up to her stomach, teasing everyone. "It's October." Massie said, scolding Claire with her eyes. "It's warm." Dylan said with a smile, walking past Claire, and setting her purple messenger bag on the granite counter. "Yeah Mass. Live a little!" Claire added, wiggling her black D&J jean clad butt.
"Yo Lyons, don't steal my moves!" Derrick said with a smile. Massie laughed, and threw her own bag on the counter. "Fine. But we don't have suits." Massie added, looking at Dylan. "That's what my closet was created for pretty." Dylan fired back playfully, leading the way up the steps. "Boys, just strip down to your skivvies, use your boxers as trunks. Unless you want to wear bikini bottoms." She called over her shoulder with a smirk.
"So what are we wearing girly?" Claire asked once they were in Dylan's room safely."Uhhh." Dylan responded, opening a dresser drawer filled with her various suits. "Okay, for Kris. This yellow bandeau Melissa Odabash bikini." She threw the two pieces to Kristen, who disappeared into the bathroom to change. "Ok, for Mass, this blue Ed Hardy bikini." She threw those to Massie, who turned around to change, her back facing the girls. "Mmm. For you Claire, this black bikini, also Melissa, and for me..." Dylan dug around in her drawer a bit. "This mint Chloe bikini." Claire looked at her in shock. "Bikini?" Dylan looked back and smiled. "Well yea, I'm tired of the whole body hate thing." Claire embraced Dylan in a hug and smiled. "I'm so happy."
"I am too Claire. Uh, can you turn around so I can change?" Claire blushed, and turned around to pull on her own loaner swimsuit.
In the pool...
"Don't get my hair wet!" Massie yelled to Derrick, who was splashing her with the pool water. "Oh shut up Block." he said cheekily. "Don't be so immature." he added with a crooked smile. "Oh your gonna get it!" Massie said, pushing his head under water. Derrick came back up, grabbing Massie by the waist and pulled him to her. "Well, you still have something to make something up to me don't you?" he asked, his back now up against the pool wall. "Yea." Massie whispered before locking his lips with hers. Kissing him passionately, Massie teased him with her tongue, unlocking their lips to suck his collarbone. "Ugh, Massie." Derrick whispered to her, signaling his intense enjoyment. "Huh?" she asked innocently, stopping her lips from kissing him, and the hand that was right above his waistband. "No, don't stop." he whispered to her desperately, waiting for her to finish what she'd started. "Ok." Massie said with a smile, pulling the waist band to her and grabbing him with her hand. "Woah you're..."
"Big?" Derrick finished for her with a smirk. "Uhm." Massie said speechless. Her hand worked up and down the length, pressing her body up against him to further pleasure and antagonize him. She captured his lips with his, the fact that she was in control never leaving her mind. Well, she wouldn't be in control for long. Derrick moved his hand from her hair to her bikini underwear, pressing his finger to her soft spot deeply.
"That's not fair." Massie said, as she gasped to regain control. "Uh, yea it is." Derrick said as he released into the pool water. He pulled his hands from under her, kissed her quickly and swam away quickly, leaving Massie confused and wanting more.
On the other end of the pool, Claire, Cam, Dylan and Jake watched in laughter. Massie looked so confused and upset at the fact that Derrick was swimming away from them towards them. But it wasn't Massie's fault, Shawty had a thing for tha' kid.
