Part Two
"Operation: Triple Threat"
Chapter 6
Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump! Ricky was bouncing his basketball getting ready to play a game with Riku and me. It was a beautiful Friday afternoon and all of the Madison High sophomores went to their weekly hangout spot, Greensands Park. The sun shone brightly and the light breeze, calm and gentle, brushed against our faces. "Ready to play?" "Shouldn't someone be on your team, Ricky?" "What do you mean, you're on my team, Rikku." "I am? What about Riku?" "How bout Roscoe?" "Good idea, dude." Riku ran towards Roscoe as Ricky and I stood behind. "What are you planning this time, genius?" "Well, if Roscoe's on his team, he will try to cover you and you know what happens when guys are close to girls. You'll be... teasing him." "Oh my gosh, Ricky! You're crazy." "But I am honest." A few minutes later, Riku and Roscoe appeared at our sides. Roscoe was wearing a white Nike sweatband on both of his wrists that accentuated his hands. I just wanted to grab his hands and stay in his embrace until it was no longer possible. But then I turned to Riku and looked into his pools of blue. He was still wearing his glasses but I was still entrapped in his lovely gaze. Ricky smiled at me. I knew that he knew what I was thinking. The two boys that I like, and love surrounded me, and I could not say a word. My heart was pounding quickly as Ricky grabbed my hand and he laid down a plan for the game. "You know what to do, right?" "Yeah, play basketball." "Right, and don't forget that you have to try to cover Roscoe and let him try to cover you. I'll pass you the ball to you a lot, ok." "Yeah, whatever." "Are you nervous?" "A little. I have never been with both of them at the same time. My heart is caught inside my throat." "Don't worry, you'll get comfortable. Plus, I am here too. Don't worry." "Thanks, Ricky." The game began. Ricky started out with the ball and quickly passed it to me. Just as he had suggested, Roscoe tried to steal the ball from me. He came up from behind and grabbed my waist. I continued to dribble the ball and Roscoe just pulled closer with every "thump". "I'm sorry about earlier." He whispered. "Whatever." "I didn't mean to hurt you." "Well, you did." "What can I do for you to forgive me?" Ricky looked at me and stuck out his rear end. I was confused to why he was doing this but then I saw Riku nod his head. It suddenly came to me that they wanted me to stick out my ass. So I squatted down a little so that my behind was right near Roscoe's pants. I could feel something through his pants but I continued to dribble. "I don't know. You think of something." I passed the ball to Ricky and Roscoe grabbed my hands and turned my body towards his. Then he gently held on to my face and pulled it towards his. Ricky saw this and threw the ball so that it hit Roscoe in the head. "Sorry about that dude." "No sweat." The game finally ended and of course Ricky and I won. Ricky had gone to play football with his older brother and Roscoe had gone to the bathroom so Riku and I were left alone sitting on the benches. "Did you like the game?" "It was okay. But you never tried to cover me." "Roscoe was busy doing that. I didn't want to get in the way." "What if I wanted you to?" "..." I scooted towards him and grabbed his hand. "Riku, don't be shy around me." "I am not shy." "Prove it." "What do you want me to do?" "I don't know." I looked into his eyes and began to lean forward. He leaned forward as well. Just as our lips were about to touch, Roscoe sat down beside us and put his arm around me. "What's up guys? You weren't to get into the action without me, were you?" "Ha, of course not." Riku replied. "Got to go, guys! Have fun." Riku got up and waved goodbye. "Look what you did, Roscoe!" "What did I do?" "You chased him away." "He didn't need to be here." "Yes he did. We were all here as friends." "Why are you acting as though you like him more than you like me?" "..." "Do you like him more than you like me, Rikku?" "Roscoe, since when has this been an interrogation?" "Since I came and saw you two about to kiss." "What are you afraid of that I will fall in love with Riku? What about you? What am I supposed to think when I see you and Melissa? Am I supposed to think that you're just 'dicking around' or whatever? If you love me you'd do the same thing you're telling me to do." "I am just dicking around with her. But not with you, because I love you." "I always wondered how you were able to look me in the eye and lie to me about something as serious as that." "I am not lying. I love you." "Hey! Where's Riku?" Ricky called out. "He left because someone scared him away." Ricky gave me a nasty look. Then Roscoe stood up. "Why do you keep saying that?" "Because it's true." "I'm sure she doesn't mean that Roscoe, right Rikku?" "I do mean it. I'm sorry I can't do this anymore. Roscoe I..." I just wanted to express all of the anger I felt because of all the things he had put me through this entire time. Roscoe doesn't realize the pain that I feel every time I see him and remember what we've had. But it's because of Riku that I am able to wake up every morning and look forward to the days ahead. Why can't I just let everyone know the truth? Why can't I just forget about him and move on? Why is he destroying me? Why can't I forget about all of the anguish and despair that he has caused in my life and look forward to a love that sets apart from all others? "Roscoe, I think you should leave me alone." "Why? I love you." The words pierced my heart and I felt as though the air had escaped my entire body. "Stop saying that! Ricky, tell him to leave!" "Dude, you heard her." "Since when do you take orders from people? Are you like her little dog?" "No, but I am her friend. Friends help friends out. But you wouldn't know about that would you?" "What are you talking about now?" "I'm talking about our 'friendship'." "I was your friend. Why are you acting like a little bitch?" "Why are you acting like a little pussy?" "You are what you eat, right?" "Oh, so should I call you a dick?" "I'm straight, unlike you. I saw you all up on Riku. Is that why you wanted him to stay? So you could make out with him?" "Roscoe, get out!" "It's a public park, Rikku." I couldn't take it anymore, I took a swing at Roscoe but he ducked. My punch landed in Ricky's face. I saw him grab his face and try to cover his eye. "Ha, you hit your little bitch." I swung again and this time, he grabbed my hands and forced a kiss on me. I could feel his tongue trying to pry into my mouth but I kept my lips shut. Luckily, Ricky quickly recovered and pushed him off me. Then Roscoe punched Ricky in the stomach and Ricky bent down. I felt like crying as I saw Ricky on the floor clutching on to his stomach. This time, I pushed Roscoe with all of my might and he fell on the floor with a smirk on his face. "Aren't you a little rough today? How did this start? Oh, yeah, because your bitch wanted to protect you. Why don't you just kiss him, Rikku? Huh? Why don't you just kiss your 'best friend' Ricky? Oh yeah, because you're in love with me!" I bent down to help Ricky as Roscoe continued to chuckle at his remark. "Ricky, get up!" "This is perfect. Just kiss him. Tell him that you love him. You'll be gassing him up and that's better than beating him up." "Ricky, what about you?" "Worry about me afterwards." So I got up with a frown on my face. I knew what I had to do. I walked toward Roscoe who was still snickering on the floor. He got up when he saw me come. "Gonna swing at me again?" "Not this time." I grabbed his face and kissed him. His tongue slithered into my mouth and I could feel his hands grasping onto my waist. I held onto his head with my hands. In my mind, I could picture Riku and I kissing as the sun set behind us. I opened my eyes and saw Roscoe attached to my lips and Ricky was no longer on the floor. He had left the park and was coming back with Riku. Riku looked at us with a stunned look on his face. I could see Ricky whisper something to Riku and he nodded. Then I closed my eyes and Roscoe held onto my face as he played with my hair. I tried to pull my face away but Roscoe continued to kiss me intensely. Then Riku cleared his throat and Roscoe let go. "What are you doing here?" "Rikku, what happened?" "I'm talking to you, you gay freak." I looked at Ricky for help. He just stood there looking up at the sky. "Don't worry Rikku, he just brought him back so he could make out with him. He was horny cuz I was all on you and he knows he can't have you." "You said I'm gay? That's not what your girl said. I was over there maching on her dude. She was all up on me." Riku exclaimed. "I don't believe you. She has class." "Melissa!" shouted Ricky. A few seconds later, Melissa came toward us with a big hicky on her neck. "Who gave you that shit?" Roscoe shouted. "What are you talking about?" Then Riku extended his hand and Melissa placed her hand in his. Then Riku kissed Melissa. She put her hands into his pants and I could see the uncomfortable look on Riku's face. But he put his hands into her shirt and touched her breasts. "What the fuck is this?" Roscoe shouted. I just watched this atrocity with a look of complete shock. Ricky smiled and put up his middle finger. "This shit is for you, Roscoe!" Then Riku took Melissa's hands out of his pants and put them on his shoulders. Then he kissed her neck. Then Roscoe tried to grab me but Ricky grabbed my hand first. "Nope, sorry Roscoe, Rikku's coming with me." "This is bullshit!" Then Riku let go of Melissa and put on a sexy smirk. "Payback's a bitch isn't it?" Roscoe left in a rage and Melissa smiled at Ricky." "That was funny, Ricky! That was an excellent plan." "Thanks, you did a great job." "Bye." "Riku, what was that?" I asked in complete and utter amazement. "I was just acting. There's only girl I want to do that to." "Oh, really. Who?" "Don't get gassed Rikku, it's not you!" shouted Ricky. "It's okay, I still want to know." I replied. "I'll tell you later." Riku said flashing me another sexy smirk. It's one of those Randy looks, like he knows something you don't know. I love the way it looks on Riku, even more than I like the way it looks on Randy.
