Christmas and new year had come and passed during the two weeks we were off school with the holidays. Throughout the winter break we had kept our promise to Clay and Hannah to spend as much time with them as our other friends had left the town of Crestmont to spend time with their families in different parts of the country

After much deliberating between myself and Jessica we thought it was the right time to go public on our socials about the change in our relationship. It was safe to say we had mixed reactions to our news, Justin took the liberty of sending death threats to our union in my direct messages. Right now Jesica and I wanted to live in the moment and be happy with each other at our new found love

I wasn't really bothered by Jusitn threats because they had never amounted to anything before, the first day back to school should be interesting when we walk down the halls hand in hand together

On the night before the resumption of the academic year I decided to surprise Jessica and hang out tonight with her. I lay on the side of my body next to Jessica on her bed in her bedroom, with the door shut of her bedroom I couldn't but help hear the sounds of footsteps tracing in the corridor every few minutes from her parents walking by

'Just ignore them Slick they'll get bored eventually'

'Well it's a bit hard to Jess'

'Don't worry they are not going to bust through the door'

'You don't think my aunt and uncle do the same when Clay comes around to spend time with Hannah'

'Slick has anyone ever told you, you worry too much' she sympathised. 'Just relax'

'And has anyone ever told you Jess how beautiful you are'

'Only you for the hundredth time'

'And I will continue to tell you for a hundred more'

'You're too sweet Slick'

Jessica placed her hand against the side of my face and stroked my cheek with her thumb, dipping my head down towards her I softly pressed my lips against Jessica's. The sweet taste of the kiss lingering on my lips as soon as we pulled away, hearing a noise from the door I turned my head towards that direction

'Now you're just being paranoid' she teased

'I don't know why but everytime I go closer to you I think one of them is going to come in here at that exact moment'

'Let me put that worry to bed for you'

Jessica rolled off her bed and quickly walked to her bedroom door, she pushed across the latch on the door and bolted it shut. I couldn't help but notice the small smirk play across her lips as she made her way back to me seductively

'Has that put you at ease Slick?'

'It has now'

Jessica climbed back up onto the bed and straddled my lap with her legs placed on either side of me. I was massively turned on when Jessica took the lead and passionately kissed my lips, pulling away after a couple of kisses and helped me to discard my t-shirt from my body

The moment she threw my t-shirt behind her I connected our lips together and rolled us over in her bed, Jessica looked up as I hovered over her and moved my lips away from her and down the side of her cheek then her jaw. I let out a ragged breath whilst the tip of my nose trickled back up to her neck

'What are we doing Jess?'

'What do you mean Slick' she panted heavily. 'I don't want you to stop'

'You're parents are only downstairs and we're about to…'

'Oh crap'

Rolling off Jessica's body and back down on my side of the bed, I stared up at the ceiling till I felt Jessica shift closer to me in her bed and rest her head against my bare chest, drawing circles on my peck as I moved my gaze back down to her touch

'Do you want to try something different?' She asked hopefully

'Like what'

'I know we haven't done this yet but I'm willing if you are' Jessica explained. 'Oral sex'

I've had experience before with previous girlfriends back home in Nevada when it came to different type of sex but I never knew Jessica was so open minded about it. I guess if we couldn't physically be close together with her parents downstairs then orally would do

I nodded my head and watched Jessica take total control of the situation as she moved her head away from my bare chest. Her hand trailed down my bare torso and came to my blue jeans whilst flicking open the button and then pulling down the zip, Jessica's fingers curled under the band of my jeans and boxer briefs and pulled them down with one hell of a force

My jeans and boxers curled around my ankles and I kicked them off my body and straight to the floor, I was fully exposed in front of Jessica on her bed as she was fully dressed. Before I could say anything Jessica wrapped her hands around the bottom of her t-shirt and pulled it over her head, throwing her item of clothing down next to mine as she undid her bra next

'You are so beautiful Jess'

A small red blushed ascended over her cheeks whilst she dipped her head down, cupping her jaw I drew Jessica's gaze back to me. 'You're just saying that'

'You are stunning Jess and that blush is fucking beautiful. How did I get so lucky to be with you'

Jessica didn't respond but let her action do the talking. I felt her kisses course it's way down my chest and stop at my waist, her gentle touch wrapped around me as she held me in her hand

'You don't have to Jess if you don't want to'

'You're sweet Slick but I want too'

Jessica reached back and kissed me quickly before returning to my waist. Her warm breath lingered over my hardened member before she bobbed her head up and down, the sensation sent a shirl of pleasure down inside of me and I knew I wouldn't be able to last long inside of Jessica….

In what felt like forever I was able to finally hit my release as it surged through my member, falling back on the bed exhausted I waited for Jessica to fall against my warm chest as she wiped away at her mouth

'You enjoyed?' she asked

'I loved it Jess'

' Well I aim to please'

'That you sure did babe' I turned us over quickly so I was on top of her. 'Now it's my turn Jess'

Kissing her lips quickly I took my time to kiss her all over before starting to make my way down,I wanted Jess to know I loved every part of her. My lips left a trail of kisses down her chest as she moaned in pleasure from the touch, I finally reached Jessica's waist and deeply pressed my lips against both of her tights. Casting my gaze to her I waited for another single that what I was about to do was ok with her, Jessica nodded her head that I could continue with what I was doing and I proceeded to perform cunnalingus on her…

After a few hours we both lay naked in her bed and stared into each other's eyes, everything seemed so perfect right now but we had the reality of going back to school tomorrow and people knowing about the change in our relationship

'What are you thinking about?' Jessica whispered, gaining my attention

'Should we be open about our relationship in front of everyone tomorrow'

'Are you ashamed of me Slick'

'Never Jess' I assured her. 'How could you even say that'

'Then I think we should just carry on with the way that we are now'

'You don't think it's too soon for us to be showing off that we're together'

'We haven't done anything wrong Slick'

'I know but'

'Always the worrier'

'I just can't help but overthink everything and what people might say'

'You haven't done anything wrong and it's not like you have stolen me away from Justin. We were both single at the time'

'It's the stupid guy code that no doubt will be mentioned when all the boys are left alone in the locker room to me'

'When did you care about codes? I thought you broke all the rules'

'As long as I have you Jess you're worth breaking all the rules for'

Leaning over I saw a cute smile plastered across her face before sealing our lips together. I got up from the bed and reached over for my clothes on the floor, seconds later a felt a small amount of weight hit my back, seeing Jessica's arms wrap around my shoulders

'Stay the night' she sighed contently

'I can't Jess'

'Please'

Turning around so I was facing her I kissed her lips again and fell besides Jessica as she tugged at my arm. Shifting ourselves in her bed I spooned up behind Jessica, throwing an arm over her waist protectively as we snuggled down and drifted off to sleep…..

The next day at school we had decided to take the plunge and walk into the building hand in hand, going through the main entrance of the doors we walked down the hallway to our lockers, the constant gossip and glaring eyes filled the hallway as usual when someone new was occurring before everyone's eyes

'What is everyone staring at?' I whispered to Jess

'Just ignore them they'll be gossiping about something else later when they are bored of us'

To get to our lockers there was no avoiding the jocks as they hung out in front of Bryce and Justin's locker, without even looking in their direction I could just feel the daggers in my back for betraying Justin and getting with his ex-girlfriend. I decided to push those thoughts away and concentrate on the day ahead by grabbing what I needed for my first couple of classes, not long later Clay and Hannah came saddling up besides us

'You guys getting those weird looks off people' Clay asked

'How did you know?' I stated

'Same thing happened to us when we first started dating and came together hand in hand' Hannah replied

'At least you're not getting death stares from the jocks' Jessica interjected

'There was no avoiding that Jess, it was always going to happen some point today'

'I wish they would just get a life and mind their own business instead of looking judgingly at everyone else when something new happens'

'At least we don't have any jocks in any of our classes' Hannah sympathised

'But there's no avoiding them at break'

'Then we'll have ours outside on the bleachers' I suggested

'We'll freeze' Hannah groaned

'I'll keep you warm' Clay replied, leaning over and kissing her on the cheek

'We'll meet you guys there then at break' I stated

Clay and Hannah agreed and said their goodbyes before going off together to our homeroom. As the school bell rang in the hallway the masses of students started to disperse for their classes, closing my locker I turned to Jessica who was leaning against the side of the wall

'You're gonna be late' I teased

'I know I'm just waiting for everyone to leave'

''So you can do what?'

'This'

Jessica wrapped her arms around neck and pulled me closer to her as our body crashed into each other's, I couldn't stop the smile forming on my face and anticipated the contact of our lips touching one another, cupping Jessica's cheek with my right hard I deepened the kiss and heard the sound of contentment radiating from her

Pulling apart from each other's close embrace the sound of the second bell went for the start of the school day, the two of us left alone in the hallway but I couldn't help but feel someone watching us at the other end of the corridor, her ex-boyfriend Justin Foley stood on with an unamused look pouting his lips, he clearly couldn't wait for a private moment to chat to us as he wanted it out now

'Get to homeroom Jess I'll meet you there'

Jessica didn't argue with me as she went one way and I went the other to meet Justin Foley, for someone who just found out his recent ex-girlfriend had moved onto someone else from the baseball team he took it quite well, deep down inside of him I knew he wanted to punch me in the face

'What do you want Foley' I questioned, raising a brow

'So when did you and Jessica get together'

'What does it matter to you'

'Because she was my girlfriend'

'That being the past tense Foley' I corrected. 'And we would appreciate if you left the both of us alone from now on'

I didn't give Justin the chance to respond to me as I turned on my heels and made my way to homeroom, he wasn't going to be done with it here and he'll bring it up again in practise later with the whole team to hear what he had to say still

'Call yourself a brother' Justin exclaimed loudly

Ignoring his call behind me I made my way to my homeroom, this whole brother mantra will be notioned again when we all meet up for practice, something I was getting tired of hearing of…..

The school day had ended and surprisingly the rest of the jocks hadn't bothered me at all during the day. Bryce and his boys had left the premises and I was only left with Vincent, Liam, Zach and Justin in the weight room

Coach Patrick came bursting through the doors and his eyes searched around the room, finally landing on me with a muse of excitement on his face, dropping the dumbbells from my hands down on the bench I was curious with what he wanted with me now, Coach Patrick wrapped an arm around my shoulders and swayed me to follow him

'I've got some amazing news' he proclaimed

'Well don't keep me in the dark what is it?'

'I've got video evidence of Mateo boxing that I think you should see'

'That's great coach'

Coach Patrick handed me a copy of a dvd that I placed into my workout shorts out of view from the others in the gym. I was then ushered into the ring by Coach Patrick as he stood to one side and I had slipped on some gloves for some pointers

'Come and get in the ring Vincent' Coach Patrick called out

A few moments later Vincent slid into the boxing ring and wore some padded gloves, Coach Patrick gave him his instructions on what to this training exercise. Liam, Zach and Justin crowded around the edge of the ring and watched on

'Pay attentions boys and you might learn a thing or to' he exclaimed

Watching some of the footage from Coach Patrick's phone I saw Mateo can't really block his left side so well. 'If you're gonna win then you need to target that area as much as you can before giving him a KO'

'All of that is on the footage' I proclaimed

'From his last couple of fights in the state, just review it when you get the chance' he informed me. 'Enough talking let's box'

Lifting up my padded gloves in front of me I stepped forward to Vincent, as instructed by Coach Patrick I got ready to jab at his left side of the body, throwing a few shots as sounds of winces came from Vincent. Picking my gaze back up I saw a smirking Bryce Walker stood in front of me

'What the fuck' I whispered under my breath

'What's the matter Mason? expecting to see someone else'

'You ain't really here'

'You see me don't you Slick'

'Only Jess is allowed to call me that'

'She'll be calling you something else after the fight'

'And what's that?'

'Loser'

'Real funny Walker, haven't you got anything original '

'When you are knocked out by Mateo everyone will see who you really are, a fraud a con artist and the biggest loser this school has ever seen'

'I'm one of the best in this state'

'So you claim to be'

'I know that I am and I don't have to prove anything to you'

'You keep telling yourself that Slick' he proclaimed, coming a couple steps forward to me.'Oh and I'd watch the right hook'

'What?'

A fist came flying across my face and connected powerfully with my jaw, sending me down onto the ground as I looked up where the fist had come from. Vincent ripped off the gloves and threw them on the floor before kneeling down besides me, placing a hand on my back and helping me to my feet again

'Are you alright Mason?' he asked, concerned by the force of the punch he had given

'What happened'

'You were just shouting nonsense at me and Coach Patrick just kept urging me to strike you'

'What was I saying?'

'It was just random, none of it really made any sense'

'You ok still to box Mason' Coach Patrick stated, placing his hand on my arm. 'Let's go again because you still need to work on your game if you want to be ready in time'

'Do you think that's wise Coach' Vincent exclaimed

'I'm alright really' I interjected

'Clearly Mason has a problem keeping his focus and we need to practise on that'

'Buddy just sit out today's training and go again tomorrow when you got your head straight' he sympathized. 'I'm worried about you'

'Maybe Vincent is right Coach'

'Fine but if you lose the fight then it's on your head for not taking your training seriously'

I nodded my head and struggled out of the ring with Vincent, Liam came up to my left side and wrapped an arm around me for support while they both led me to the locker room. The sounds of phone notifications were going off in the lockers with no doubts that either Justin or Zach had put something up onto the team groupchat

'We'll walk you home Mason' Vincent informed me

I didn't argue with my friends as they only had my best interests at heart so I just nodded again. This was the first time that I had ever hallucinated anyone before in my life and it scared me to death, god knows why I hallucinated Bryce Walker when we hadn't spoken in weeks

The doors to the locker room slowly creaked open and a tall figure entered into the space, my mind was still racing and trying to come back to normal when the figure stepped forwards to me. Zach Dempsey came into view and I curious as to why he would be checking on me since we're not that close of friends

'How are you feeling Mason'

'I'm doing ok I guess'

'That's good' he nodded, clearly we were having trouble even making small talk with each other

'Clearly you want something from me Zach so what is it'

'I still need a moment to talk to you alone about something important'

'It will have to wait for another time Zach, I'm not really in the moods for talks and I just want to get home'

'Just come and meet me somewhere because I'm done playing cat and mouse. What I have to tell you will be of very much importance'

Zach left the locker room again and went back to the weight room to join Coach Patrick and Justin. Liam had grabbed my stuff out of the locker and walked with me and Vincent as we left the school and headed back to my house, I just hope that I don't have anymore hallucinations of Bryce in the future….
