Right so I said mid-july and now it's the end of frigging august.
Let's just say that summer didn't go exactly as planned and life at the moment is a mess.
Also, writer's block is a trap. I've changed, deleted and re-wrote this like 6 times and cut off a segment of it because I didn't want it to seem too long, but I do hope you guys do enjoy it. To me it feels like a "filler" chapter more than anything.
To all you who are just reading this, Hey there :)
To all my previous readers and reviewers, thanks for sticking around, you're all beautiful xo
I learned three important things last night.
First thing, I was hypersensitive post orgasm. To the point where pleasure would turn to pain, but a good type of pain. I didn't mind that type of pain at all.
Second thing, Ichigo basked in it.
Four times to be exact.
By the time he deemed this lesson complete I could barely keep my eyes open and I was sure if he touched me anymore I'd suffer a heart attack.
The third thing, he was very forward, demanding and kinky. Forward in how he wanted me, demanding is how he wanted me and kinky...well he licked the single finger he'd been using down there and grinned like the cat got the cream.
But let's not go there right now.
And presently, having lunch with the girls, I wish I could just dig a hole and bury myself in it.
Nel was in awe and looked like she was about to write a book about it. Tatsuki got up and left as soon as I sat.
Hmm. But that's none of my business, I came here to enjoy my lunch.
"So you mean to tell me that he brought you to nirvana and back four frickin' times...and he didn't even put his fingers in?! He's got super powers!"
"Nel it's not that serious," I mumbled, blushing.
She gave me an incredulous look with her eyes and face palmed. I just calmly opened my BLT and added some Doritos, some mint cream and then some gummy bears and a small sachet of mustard and placed to top back on it.
"But...four times Orihime, you should sign up for porn, I'd totally watch it!"
I choked on my sandwich.
"N-Nel you can't go around saying things like that!"
"Do you have any idea how much money you could make just because of what your pussy can do?"
"Nel stop talking!"
She pouted and took a spoon out of her sundae- and she complains about having massive boobs, all the dairy she eats on a daily basis.
"Okay change of subject then...did you two talk before he did his major foreplay on you?"
I sighed in relief. Now this I could deal with.
"Yea...Nel I think he's jealous though," I said, picking at my sandwich.
"Jealous? Of Shiba you mean"
I nodded. "And Ren-kun too"
At that she busted out in guffaws.
"He's jealous of Renji? The idiot that chases after Rukia rejection after rejection after rejection? The one that hates Ichigo because he sleeps with Rukia all the time when he can barely get a hi out of her? The one that encouraged you to eat those mushrooms-"
"Yes! That Renji! You should have seen his face when he saw us yesterday he didn't look very pleased." I said quickly interrupting what she was saying. If I let her keep going then she'd continue blurting out more embarrassing things curtesy of "the embarrassing adventures of Renji and Orihime" and I really didn't want to get into those right now.
"The fact that Ichigo can even get jealous seems too good to be true, once he went on this date with this girl Veronica and this guy started getting it on with her and he propositioned the guy with a threesome."
I blushed. Well then.
"He told Renji to get his hands off me and then he says that I seem to be getting really friendly with Kaien and then he says he forgets how innocent I am and all of a sudden he's gone from major mean guy to soft and gentle guy." I said, staring at my fingers.
"Ichi's mood swings are legendary Hime, you're causing him stress that he's not used to," Nel giggled, "But let's be real though, who wouldn't get friendly with Kaien? He's fit. He should feel threatened because it's no secret that Shiba wants you,"
"Kaien doesn't want me, we're just friends," I retorted. Why was I blushing again?
"Hmm. Keep telling yourself that babe. Observe him the next time he speaks with you and you'll see for yourself, now tell me what else he said,"
"There wasn't really a lot of talking after that really," I said taking quick bites out of my sandwich and avoiding the look on her face. I didn't need to look up to know that she was smirking and I also know that if I look up, she'd say something that would embarrass me even more than I already was.
She snorted. "Well in any case, I'd pay to watch some dude fuck you in the mouth- oh my god turn around,"
I turned to see Ichigo walking across the campus with Rukia by his side. They seemed to be arguing about something and they'd stopped walking. The short girl reached to hold onto his hand and pull him towards her but he didn't seem to be having it and pulled her hand off. I smiled at his actions. Then he threw his hands into the air as if he was frustrated with where the conversation was going and Rukia stopped talking. They seemed to stare at each other for a while and then she lashed out, slapping him in the face.
I gasped and stood, but Nel grabbed for me and forced me to sit back down. My eyes hadn't moved from the two though. They were staring at each other again and then she snapped something and stormed off.
"Well if that ain't trouble in paradise I don't know what is," came a voice from behind me, causing me to jump.
"Rangiku! You shouldn't creep up on me like that you scared me!"
The girl behind me giggled and hugged me, "Ahhh Hime-chan, I haven't seen you in ages," she said groping my chest.
"Y-you saw me last week Rangiku! P-Please don't squeeze those!" I shrieked, though my efforts were futile. The voluptuous girl giggled and released me, quickly taking a seat beside me at the table.
"So, wat do you make of Kurosaki and Rukia's little lover's tiff?"
She always got down to business didn't she? There were no going around corners with Rangiku that was for sure.
"No idea," I grumbled, biting into my sandwich.
"I should ask her later on, she's been a right bitch lately and trust me when I say you can't have a conversation when she's in a mood like that,"
Nel and I hummed in acknowledgement to what she said and just carried on eating. I didn't need to look over to my friend to let her know not to tell Rangiku about anything happening with me and Ichigo. Whatever our "thing" was.
"Rangiku, when a guy's jealous what does it usually mean?"
"That's an easy one Hime-chan. He wants you, and he sees other guys as threats and he comes off really aggressive or moody because of it," said the girl, asking a sip of my drink. "What guy's been acting jealous?"
"No guy, I was just watching a random series this morning and it had me thinking," I replied quickly, stuffing my face some more and praying that she wouldn't try to drill me about it anymore.
"Brace yourselves girls, Queen Bitch is approaching," said Nel, clearing up her now finished meal.
I nearly head desked. I really didn't have it in me to deal with Rukia Kuchiki right now.
She didn't even sit or greet us, she tapped me on the shoulder and asked-no demanded, "How do you know Kaien? What are you to Kaien? What were you doing with Ichigo last night?"
Have you ever been in a situation where all you could do is blink?
Well imagine me, half spun, a piece of sandwich in my hand just about at face level with this angry girl. I felt like I was teetering on a tightrope between laughing and crying, and I didn't even know why. I opened my mouth slightly to answer, but no sound came out. Not that I was shocked really. My voice had a habit of ditching me when I needed it the most.
"Where the hell do you get off questioning Orihime about what she does and who she know like that?"
Nel was angry. You could hear it in her voice, the child like lilt was no where to be found her tone was so frosty I nearly shivered.
"Last time I checked, your name wasn't Orihime," snapped Rukia, tapping her foot impatiently, "now answer me. I know I saw him go to your dorm last night and I know he wasn't at his last night because I spent the night waiting on him."
Wow. Someone give this girl a medal for determination. Or maybe stalking.
"And what does it matter if he's been going to her dorm? You jealous Kichiki?" sneered Nel.
"Jealous of the girl who he barely notices unless he wants a Band-Aid? Oh please," snarled the other girl.
I feel like I was in the middle of World War 3, so I took the matter into my own hands...as best as I could.
"Rukia, I know Kaien because as a member of the college welcome committee it's my job to make sure that he's comfortable settling in as a new student, we had the coffee because he asked me to but because of stuff I wasn't able to the first time, we had a rain check. And as for your last inquiry, I'm pretty sure you know that Ichigo tutors me with my chemistry, I offered for him to stay over because it got late and he accepted my offer. Was that all?"
Rukia looked like she wasn't buy jack of what I just said.
"I guess he last time we had that little chat didn't really sink in cuz you're so thick but listen up Orihime Inoue, stay away from Ichigo."
Did she just call me thick? My next responses flew out my mouth before I could even think.
"No,"
"I'll destroy you,"
"That's nice," I replied, absently sucking on my straw. Honestly, I was tired and this was bothersome. Why am I arguing with her over a man that's not even hers to have? Not that he was mine either but still, you get what I mean right? He's barley looked at another girl as far as I knew and Rukia is making it obvious that she isn't getting any and Rangiku would've told me the latest, even if I didn't want to know.
She huffed and grabbed at Rangiku's arm.
"Let's go Rangiku,"
The strawberry blonde smiled apologetically at me and waved at Nel before she was quickly pulled away by the agitated girl.
"She'll destroy you? The only person she can bully around here is Ichigo and that's because he doesn't hit girls, if it were Grimm she was trying to slap around like that she'd be eating from a straw for the rest of her life," said Nel.
I smiled at her tiredly. Suddenly I felt really exhausted, where did all my energy go?
"Don't be angry Nel, it doesn't suit you," I beseeched. Nel, as cute as she was, when angry was something that no one wanted to deal with, not even her boyfriend.
"I'm fine, are you done? Let's go back to yours, I got stuff I wanna talk to you about,"
I raised my eyebrow at that. "Stuff? What kinda stuff?"
"Nothing too serious, I'm gonna stop by my dorm for some stuff but I'll meet you there alright?" said the girl, suddenly chipper and happy again. She flashed me a huge grin and I smiled back, watching her skip off towards her dorm room. I giggled at her antics. Maybe it was PMS, her mood swings were really drastic a minute ago.
On my way back to my apartment I ran into Kaien.
Quite literally actually. I bounced back a bit and hit against the wall slightly, hitting my head. That smarted.
I heard him swear under his breath and then his hands were on my arms, helping me to steady myself. "You okay Orihime? I'm so sorry, I wasn't really paying attention,"
I nodded hastily and bonked myself on the head to prove I was "alright", but that might not have been the best decision ever. He noticed the wince I gave and gave me a look that made me know he wasn't buying it.
"Come, I'll walk you back to your room and make sure you're okay," he said, taking my bag and heading towards my room.
You'd think I was a concussion patient the way he was acting but I frowned and followed him anyways.
The walk, for some reason was very awkward. When we got to my door he stood there, staring at me expectantly and then I realized that I'd have to open the door. I retrieved my keys from my pocket and jammed it into the door and opened it. He gestured for me to enter and then stepped in closing the door behind him.
"You do realize we're gonna have to talk right?"
"T-talk? About what?" I stammered.
"Whatever it is that you have going on with my cousin."
"Why would you think that there's something going on with Ichigo and I? We're just friends," I replied back as cooly as possible.
The door opened and Nel barged in, holding a shoe sized box. When she noticed the extra person her jaw dropped slightly and she gave me a look that told me that there was no escaping the interrogation I was going to receive when he left.
"Am I interrupting something?" she asked innocently, knowing full well she was. I was thankful that she was though. I really didn't know what to tell Kaien about his cousin and I.
He shrugged and flashed her the kilo watt smile. "Naah, just checking up on Hime here, she banged her head against the wall when she bounced into me, so I was just making sure she was okay,"
"Oh, you're such a gentleman, Kaien isn't it? I'm Nel, I've heard loads about you from Orihime," she said, placing the box on the table and extending her hand to him.
He took it, still smiling at her. "Oh has she now? All good things I hope?"
"Wouldn't you like to know," she replied fluttering her eyelashes.
Wait a minute...was Nel flirting with Kaien?!
"Well I see she's in capable hands, you'll make sure she doesn't fall over or trip over air right?" he joked.
"Sure, I will, that's my job as her best friend anyways haha, it was nice meeting you Kaien," she said, walking him to the door.
"Yea Nel, I'll be seeing you around more hopefully, see you around Orihime," he said directing his eyes to me at last.
"Yea, see you Kaien," I said, still trying to process everything. I watched as she closed the door and locked it.
"Now deets. All of 'em,"
"What's in the box?" I asked, trying to divert the conversation.
"You'll know when you tell me why he was in here and why you two were so close together," she said folding her arms in a no nonsense manner. I sighed, knowing that I wasn't going to get out of it at all so why bother?
"I bounced into him. He said he wanted to talk. He asked me about Ichigo. I said we were just friends. You came in." I said as bluntly as possible.
"Ohh, you don't have to be so defensive you know," she said pouting slightly.
I sighed.
"I'm just frustrated. People are under this impression that I like Kaien but I really only see him as a friend. It's-"
"Ichigo that you want, trust me, I know boo boo," she said with a mile, "now sit and let me give you a quick talk,"
"Quick talk about what?" I asked, eyeing the box with suspicion.
She opened the box and pulled out aluminium wrapped squares.
"Protection of course."
In the box there were male condoms, female condoms, caps, a different load of pills, diaphragms, vaginal rings, patches and brochures about methods such as iud and the implant. To be quite honest, I never really thought about contraception, just assuming that Ichigo would whip out a condom out his wallet like the usual stereotype, but according to Nel, guys aren't that dependable. She told me that I should look them through and decide which one I'd be comfortable with and started packing her stuff, saying that she had "special time" with her man. But before she left, I asked her about the touching thing again.
"Your vibrator is waterproof. Go take a shower! Oh, and don't forget your imagination is key!" she said rushing through the door.
I put two and two together quite easily but before I could say anything else the door was soundly slammed. And I was left with nothing to do but take a shower. And a niggling curiosity. So I grabbed a towel and my "special wand" and made my way to the shower.
I turned the water on, leaving it to run and heat up and slowly stripped down. I stepped in under the torrent of hot water and took a leisurely shower with Nel's words in my head.
"Your imagination is key"
Then Ichigo's voice.
"So responsive to my touch,"
My breath hitched and my eyes shot open. I didn't even realize that I had them closed. My eyes roamed over to the vibrator that I'd placed on the edge of the tub. With unsteady hands I reached for it.
Well here goes. All I had to do was close my eyes and use my imagination right? Can't be that hard.
I ran it down my stomach then along my thighs, slowly getting used to the feel of it, like I read in the manual. Don't judge me.
Then I switched it on to the lowest setting, slightly jolting at the feel on my stomach. The feeling caused me to shiver a lot, and the lower I went the more I found myself leaning against the wall of the shower. I bit my lip and went for it, running the wand along my lower lips and gasped. I'd barely started and it already felt like too much. The feeling was immense, even if it was just the lowest setting. Then I got even braver and placed the vibrator directly on my clitoris.
"HAH!"
Was the water hot or cold?
Was I standing?
Where the hell am I even?
Slowly I was coming to my senses.
The water was cold. I was slumped in my shower. The vibrator was beside me, still going. I picked it up , turned it off and stood on wobbly legs and turned the water off, then slowly stepped out of the bath.
I don't think masturbation with a vibrator is something I can do by myself. This was the second time I've passed out due to orgasm and frankly it was a bit scary. I'd have to ask about it. Probably Ichigo...or Nel. Or maybe I could look it up on the internet. Once I was wrapped up in my towel I placed my vibrator back into the box I got it in. I'd deal with it tomorrow, right now I'm too tired and all I could think off at the moment is sleep. A lot of sleep. I'll do homework and deal with socialization afterwards, I felt like rubber. I'd deal with everything tomorrow. Or whenever I decided to wake up. Was something wrong with me? Being tired this much isn't like me. Putting stuff off isn't like me either.
I yawned. But that was for me to worry about tomorrow. I'm too tired to think of anything right now.
