"Abby! Go!"
"I'm not a horse, Koral!" I complained, my back aching from the little four year old that had climbed on top by force.
I was at my brother's apartment, taking care of the little one as Aziel had gone to get some stuff to munch on. Today wasn't any ordinary day at my bro's though, oh no! It was special. After taking care of these little ones, I was going to a smooth cruise with the big man himself! Okay, his mom was tagging along but I was going to hang with my bestie on a Friday after dark and then staying over for a sleep over! This is a break through, you know. When you have a mother that doesn't let you go out anywhere, with anyone after 5 p.m, especially a male, this kind of is the next biggest thing since Hetalia.
Of course, I didn't tell my mom and that's why my whole 'I'm babysitting' biz has to be put on.
After some few minutes of torture, Koral decided to run away and play with Jacob. I got up in a hurry, the stress from my back gone but with a bit of an ache. I sit at the couch, where Shadow was being a weirdo that one time when Sonic came, and I watched the children. Nothing can make this day bad.
I thought about Shadow and how much fun we'll have. The laughter, the surprises, the talks, the hugs, the kiss- the what? Whoa there brain. He's just my friend, not the guy next door. Ha, I keep forgetting that I'm just a hormonal girl that wants someone, so of course this might accidentally happen.
Aziel came back with some McDs bags in hand, making me forget about my mistake instantly.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
I heard the car honk and I went to check outside of Aziel's little window. The familiar little gray car was starting to park around the spot that Aziel should park, right behind his car. I saw the familiar Mrs. Hedgehog get off of the car and walk towards the apartment, following Shadow who was leading ahead.
I got excited as I ran to the door and looked down the stairs to get up to the second floor of the building.
"Ahoy there!" I greeted to them with a big smile. Mrs. Hedgehog smiled and waved; Shadow gave me a smirk with those delicious lips. Wait…shit, didn't catch myself there. Calm down, hormones. Not him. He's got a bitch.
Forgetting these stupid, dumb thoughts, I opened the door for Mrs. Hedgehog and the Black Knight. They have entered into a world of lust and a very dirty living room. Don't get alarmed, the only lust in the house is the one in the movie which was "Pride and Prejudice", in which Shadow's mom got instantly hooked on it.
Shadow and I decided to go sit down in the kitchen as Mrs. Hedgehog and Aziel chat it up; they get along well.
"So, where are we going?" I asked, excited for the night.
"Actually, not much today. We're just going to cruise Hollywood, look at the pretty lights, stop by for some Fat Burger and then come back. Tomorrow though, we're going to Guitar Center and chill it with my cousin. That'll be the exciting one."
"Exciting? For you! I don't know crap about guitars even though I take a guitar class." I pouted. Shad chuckled some at me, which made me blush a bit. This has been a bit tad weird for me. This body is going berserk on me.
"I'll teach you a bit. Okay, Eddie will teach you a bit." He nodded.
"Ah, smart cousin Eddie is coming." I giggled. Shad is smart but not as smart as his cousin. Seriously, we feel so stupid around him and he's younger than us!
We kept waiting for his mother to get up and take us, but she wouldn't budge. Was the movie that interesting? Eventually, Aziel asked us to go get a soda at the store. He gave us the money and forcefully, Shadow and I went.
"Jesus Christ! How long are they going to take? Now we're going to bring them drinks and it's just going to make them cozier." I kicked a rock that was in the alley due to the construction building nearby.
"Relax. They'll finish soon. Hopefully." Shadow chuckled.
"So, how's Rouge?" I decided to ask, my body making me ask of course.
"We haven't really talked. And lately…I really doubt that this is going to work anymore. I'm giving it a week. I'm not doing anything though; I had worked too hard without her help. Now, if she really wants this to work, she's going to have to do it." I looked at Shadow with awe.
"What?"
"That was an amazing answer, Mr. I will do anything for Rouge." I mocked as I started my own slow clap.
"Yeah, whatever. I just have no faith in this anymore. At least she's going to get what she wanted." Shadow looked a bit down.
"Hey… tag!" I poked him and ran to the corner where I stopped due to the red light. I pressed the button so the light can turn green. I looked back at him who was walking slowly, waiting for the light to turn green for the attack. When I saw the light turn green, I booked it but got caught by Shadow when I reached the other side.
"Meanie…"
"You should have known this before you poked me, Ames."
We walked to the store, got the soda and left. Shadow was taking the soda of course and I decided to poke him again. As I ran, I saw someone who looked familiar. I gave a random complete stop, hoping I don't crash into this person.
"Oh, hi Uncle." I told the big, aquamarine hedgehog that stood in front of me. Shadow had chased me and almost bumped into me.
"Amy? What are you doing here?" he asked me, but eyed Shad. Great, just had to meet up my mom's brother here.
"I was at Aziel and he asked me to go get a soda. This is Shadow, he's my friend. His mom is hanging out with Aziel a bit right now and brought him along." I explained, hopefully making him not want to call mom when he gets home.
"How about you, uncle?" I asked, taking away attention from myself.
"Taking a leisurely walk." He simply stated. I don't get along with my family. I don't talk much to them.
"Ah, well, I got to go. Don't want Aziel to die of dehydration." I joked, not getting a chuckle or a smile from my uncle.
"Goodbye then." He told me and I did the same.
Shadow and I walked to the alley and that was when I start to breathe.
"God, I hope he doesn't tell mom." I prayed out loud.
"Didn't seem to like me a lot," Shadow mumbled.
"Nah. He's just like that. Pay no attention. He's just an uncle." I said, simply. I didn't care much of him, so I was a bit calm about this.
We got to the apartment and poured their drinks. We then asked him mom if we're going soon; she said in a bit, so we decided to go and get some fresh air.
As we sat, I started to draw on my DSi, making random nonsense. It was quiet for a little while, not really talking and if we did, it was short little outbursts. I guess that annoyed Shadow. I was in the middle of drawing a dog when my DSi was taken away from me.
"Hey!" I yelled. I saw Shadow run down the stairs and towards the alley. I ran after him and reached him at the alley where he stopped.
"Try to catch me, Ames." He said, waving my DSi and then running off into the alley. I stared at him from where I was. He was just running away, but something felt weird. As he ran, I felt a pain in my body. The more he ran, the more it hurt. What the fuck is wrong with me?
I just stood there, waiting for him to come back. Maybe he won't come back. What am I saying? Of course he is going to come back. This is weird. I'm acting weird. I just need some time to think.
I sat down on those weird bump things at parking lots so the cars won't go to the other lane. I tried to calm myself down. I averted my thoughts to my skirt, trying to fix it and sit lady like so when Shadow comes back, he won't see me like a slob. It's not like he cares though. He knows how I am. But what if somebody else comes? Don't want them to think perverted thoughts about me, I guess.
I checked my phone and looked at the time. Sonic must have been at his race already. Earlier today, I got a text from him about the big race he was going to have. I wished him luck then, since he was going on a plane for the competition but I felt obligated to tell him again right now. So I started to text him and another feeling rose in my body. Guilt? Why would I feel guilty right now? Seriously, what is wrong with my body today?
I heard footsteps when I finished my text. Could it be Shads? I really need a hug right now. Not like I want him to hug me or anything though.
The steps kept getting closer. Could it be a hobo? A perv? The neighbors? Jesus Christ was I scared.
Thankfully, I saw the familiar shoe in the darkness.
"You've been sitting here, lazy butt?" Shad told me as he sat next to me.
"You swear I was going to run after you? Hmph." I said, trying to hide the fear I had just a minute ago. We sat there, taking in the scenery. The moon, the stars, the light posts.
"So, how's Sonic?" Shad asked me.
"I don't know. Don't really ask him much." I got some rocks and threw them at the alley.
"But he asks you."
"Well, yeah. I still think he likes me."
"You?"
"Me?"
"Yeah, do you still like him?"
"I broke up with him and barely give him any attention. Does it look like I still like him?" I threw another rock.
"But you have feelings for anyone else?" odd question.
"Dude, you're my best friend. If I did, I would have told you already."
"You sure?"
"Yeah man. Why wouldn't I?"
"I don't know. You've been a bit hostile lately. Not a lot, but some."
"Well, you're dealing shit with her. I think I need to give you some space so you can breathe since she doesn't give you any." I explained, throwing another rock to the alley.
"True. But I know you're still hiding something." He picked up a rock and threw it too. I sighed quietly; I wish I knew what I was hiding.
"You're crazy. I don't know what you're talking about. Now, when is your mom gonna take us?" I'm getting very impatient.
We went inside and asked. Finally, she stood up and told Aziel that I will be back in about some few hours. He nodded and told me that the door will be open when we get back.
We got to the car and drove off. We went to Hollywood, got off for a bit to get something to munch on and then we drove around looking at the lights. Light have always fascinated me. I don't know exactly why, but they just do. The drive was short and in no time, we were heading back.
It was starting to be a little cold. I huddled near Shadow, who was warm as an oven. I got near him and started to doze off, like how I do every single time I get in a car. He felt so warm, so nice. I felt my lips move some centimeters and back into their place. My eyes snapped open. Did I just kiss Shadow's shoulder? It was pretty small, but that was totally a kiss. He didn't seem disturbed, plus he was wearing a thick shirt; he probably didn't feel it. I got comfy again and tried not to make the same mistake again.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
We silently got up the stairs, opened the door, walked all quietly to my niece's room and got comfy. Everyone was sleeping in the living room and Aziel left the room for Shad while I will go to sleep in the living room next to Koral. But before sleep, we decided to have our night talk first.
At first we had the lights on, but we didn't want to disturb anyone so we turned them off.
We sat next to each other, blanket in hand since the window was always open due to it being stuck that way.
"Tonight was pretty." I commented.
"Until we saw the drunk sluts all over the place." Shadow added and I giggled. It got quiet and cold. To break the ice little, I hugged him and he hugged back.
I really don't know how things started to change, but suddenly we were nuzzling with each other; his muzzle on my neck and mine onto his neck. It felt really good, like it was hypnotizing me. Is this what couples really do? Would I have done this with Sonic is I would have let him?
We kept on nuzzling each other but my back was straining me a bit.
"You okay?" Shadow asked.
"My back hurts a little."
Shadow adjusted himself so he can lie down and I am next to him.
"Why did we snuggle?" I asked, confused by this.
"Just. You didn't want to?" I heard him ask in the dark.
"Well, it caught me off guard." I whispered. "We are best friends."
"Well, you said you have never done this so I decided to help out my friend, you know." He explained. I just stayed there next to him. Well, I do need help on one specific thing. My heart started to pound fast.
"So this is just helping me out? Sounds good." I didn't know what to think of it. Actually, I shouldn't be thinking about it; he's just helping out, that's all.
I stood up a little and started to get on top of him. Yes, I was on top of my best friend. Picture that clearly. I lowered myself so I could snuggle up next to him. This felt nice. I pressed my cheek up to his and nuzzled it.
Through all of this, Shadow was completely quiet.
I wonder…what is he thinking?
My cheek felt good on his cheek. I started to rub my cheek on his cheek and occasionally moving to his other cheek. Our lips were centimeters away from each other. They felt like magnets, they wanted to touch his lips.
I rubbed my body up against him as I rub cheeks. We started to breathe deeply. I didn't care to wonder why we were deep breathing; I just know that we are.
Whenever I moved my cheek to his other cheek, I would slowly cross over his lips feeling his hot breathe touch me.
I whimpered as I did it more, grinding up on him a bit more. We're just friends. This is just a favor to me since I have never experienced it.
But I can't take it anymore.
I placed my face right on top of his. We were deep breathing. Silent. Just staring into each other in darkness.
My lips were about half an inch above his. They floated there for a while. Little by little, I lowered my lips. The anticipation: it killed me.
We're just friends. It's just a favor. We're just best friends doing a favor.
My lips were practically lying on top of his, but they weren't moving.
Just doing a favor.
I kissed him. My lips touched his, his touched mine. Electricity moved around my body. Did it do that to him too?
We finally separated and we were deep breathing again. I noticed that his hands were around my hips. Had he always had them there?
We stood there for a while. Me on top of him, his hands on my hips. My back started to ache again from the odd position that I am not used to. I got up slowly and sat nearby; he followed as well and sat next to me.
I wanted to kiss him again. Was I allowed? He was doing me a favor. I can't make him uncomfortable.
"Sorry." I heard him say in the darkness.
"For what?" I stared at his direction, but it was too dark to see.
"I know you were saving that for someone special. You know… your first kiss." I heard him sigh and shuffle in his place a little.
"It's okay. This is practice. So, I don't mess up next time," I smiled at myself. "Did I do a good job?" I heard him give a small chuckle.
"You did very well. I could even say that you did better than Rouge, but don't ever tell her."
"You shouldn't have told me that. I might use that to get her mad." I gave a little giggle. I sensed him smirking.
I don't know what overcame me next, it just did. Probably were hormones. I bet it was hormones.
I got up and felt that he was sitting in criss cross. I decided to sit on one of his thighs, facing him. I started to give him little kisses on his cheeks, his forehead, and even his nose. His face has no escape from me.
"Ames…" Did he not like it?
"Im practicing." I said in between kisses. I felt him smile. I took that opportunity and kissed him again. We stayed in that kiss for a while, my hands getting lost in his quills. I can feel his hands going all around me, exploring my back and stopping again on my hips. I can sense that he wanted to go lower but I made him suffer.
Then I felt him moving. Slowly, he laid me down on the floor as we kept kissing. He was on top of me, kissing me, feeling up my thighs and legs.
Our lips were warm, fixed into each other. We would stop momentarily before we were at it again. I felt myself hot. Jesus Christ, did I feel the burn in between my legs. But I had to control myself. He's not helping me in that.
We finally let go and we stay in the same position.
"You know…I love you."
That was when I had to get up.
"Dude, don't say that. You're just helping me here. You're in a bad relationship and this could have made your mind go weird. But don't freaking say that man. Not now." I caught myself , but it's true. If he says that now, I just feel like a rebound. I better not be a rebound.
"I mean…sorry." We got up and sat next to each other again. I started to yawn.
"I guess it's time to sleep." I yawned again. "Im going to sleep with the little one. Aziel left you the things here." I got up in the darkness. I leaned down and kissed him again. I think Im getting used to it.
"Thanks." I started to head to the living room.
"I should be thanking you," I thought heard. Maybe it was imagination. I didn't dare to go back and ask him. I might get caught up and have another make out session with him.
When I got to the blankets, Koral sleeping peacefully next to them, I got in between them. I couldn't help but smile as I tried to drift off to sleep. My lips were still warm from his.
{{ Did that just blew your mind!? Well, seems like Shadow is in a pickle and Amy might get caught in it with him.
Were best friends really just helping each other out? You guys think there was something more to this?
Also, sorry for the bad kiss scenes. I can't seem to write them well.
