Chapter 4.
Within five minutes Amber had zoomed home, pulled me up the stairs, and to my room slamming the door. "KK tell me everything!" Amber burst out as she sat down next to me. My eyes began to water as I laid my head on her lap and told her everything. The party, our kisses, our forty minute stare down, and the way I did want to go out with him but at the same time didn't want to be with him. "Damn babe I knew I knew him from somewhere!"
I sighed and said, "Am, I really like him but I'm not sure if I should go out with him. God knows if he goes Johnathan on me and leaves me heart broken. And god forbid if it's you that gets killed because of me!" I knew tears were streaming down my face and couldn't stopke I promise you won't let leave this house with heartbreak. Besides Trey will watch you god forbid I have to track the jerk down and stab him for hurting you."She smiled and I couldn't help but laugh. "Well do you know what next Friday is?"
OMG though all the conusion I totally forgot about my birthday. "I Forgot about it!"
"Don't worry, me and Trey didn't." She got up as the phone rang and I heard her pick it up, "Babe it's for you!" She sang.
I rushed to the kitchenand grabbed it, "Hello."
"Heyy Alicia it's Derek. What happened?" I shivered as he spoke.
"How did you get my number?" I almost smiled.
"Trey."
"Of coarse he gave it to you..." I looked at Amber and saw her grin.
"So do you wanna hang out later?" He said it and I jumped with joy.
"Okay sure sounds fun!" I looked at the clock which showed 5:36 me and Amber have been talking for two hours.
"Okay I'l e there in about half an hour."
"Alright bye." Amber ran over to meas I hung up.
"Do you you have a date?" I nodded and she screamed in my ear as she yanked me to my room.
As she hang up I almost bust out with screams of happiness, here I have this girl I just met, kissed TWICE, broke her bag, and annoyed but yet I got a date with her. I ran into my house from my ca and to my room passing my mom on the way. Quickly I went to my closet to put on something swag to impress her, then I thought Were would I take her, "Shit!"
I flopped on my bed and thought about where I would her take bowling no, movie maybe another night at the restaurant too flashy. Right when I was about to tear my hair out there was a rap at my door I recognized the beat.
"Heyy jerk!" I turned to see Jenny.
"Hey midget." She giggled and came to my side.
"What's wrong?"
"I just met this girl she's really hot, cool, and sweet. I really like her and she likes me too."
"I don't see what's to be stressin' about." Jenny smiled and said sarcastically.
"No, we have a date tonight and I don't kow where to take her!" I grunted and Jenny smiled.
"You know you can take her to Central Park's ice rink." I jumped at her in a hug and she laughed.
"That's perfect Jen thanks you're the best!" I loved this girl.
"I know I am. So who's the lucky girl?" She was shaking with excitment.
"Alicai Reynolds."
"You mean the new girl! OMG Derek she's so pretty you might accually have a real relationship!" She smacked my arm playfully.
"Alright willl you go so I can get ready I have like ten minutes." I said pulling her off my bed and over my shoulder.
"Derek oh my god put me down! MOM!" She laughed her ass off as I brought her to her room and threw her on the bed.
"Derek stop wrestling with your sister." Mom smiled in the doorway.
"Sorry mom."
"So what's this I hear about a date outside your room?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing" I turned for the door "and stop easedroppin' on me." I rushed to my room and to the closet. Within two minutes I dressed, sneaked, deotorized, and ready to go, wearing my jordans, some dark levi's, a plaid blue and black sirt, and leather jacket. I looked at my hair, messy as always and I loved it. "Bye mom!"
"Have fun sweetie!" She yelled back, and I jumped into my car.
Pulling up at her apartment I ran up the stairs excited and knockedon her door. To my suprise Amber answered it.
"Oh my god if you weren't hers I would have taken advantage of you by now!" She yelled and pulled me in as I laughed. "She'll be done in a minute."
"It's cool I can wait." I really couldn't I wanted to smash my lips with her again and feel her sexy body against me. Then I heard a door open and my jaw dropped when I saw her in from of me. She had her hair curled under a glod hooded shirt, purple skinnies, a black leather jacket, and some convers. She was SMOKING hot, "Hey."
"Hi Derek." I could see the red in her cheeks grow deeper and cherished the look.
"Well I'm gonna go watch Lifetime with Trey see you guys when you get back." Amber smiled and Alicia walked out the door but Amber gripped my arm, "I'm gonna tell you now you hurt her Ima break your pretty boy face!"
"I would never dream of it. But if I do I'll give you permission to chop my dick off." She let go with a smile and I ran to catch up with Alicia, when I saw her at my car.
"So where are we going?" Her smile was drawing me in more.
"It's a suprise." She frowned and got in the car. I jumped in the driver seat and drove off.
"Can I have a hint?" Her lips pouted and showed off the glitter red gloss.
"Fine!" I shrugged, "Do you like scary movies?"
"Hells yeah!"
"Good so now I know where to take you next time. Do you know how to bowl?"
"Sure if you count getting one strike out of fifteen, then yeah I know how!" She laughed and made me giddy.
"Hmmm...I guess we'll work on it then huh. If we went to a restaurant where would you want to go?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Well iHop, Chuckie Cheese, any place that serves beer, or a Chinese buffet." I almost died at her answers. This girl was funny, a big appetite, and good drinking buddy.
"Wow I just found Mrs. Right" she giggled "do you know how to skate?"
"Umm me and Amber used to go roller skating on weekends and I learned how to ice skate from my sister..." She paused and didn't continue.
"What's wrong?" I didn't like the way she looked sad.
She picked up her frown into a smile, "Nothing."
"Oh okay one last one. What's the most romantic thing you'd like to have done?" I wanted to know badly.
"Well maybe a guy sneaking into my house through my window while I'm asleep and wake me with light kisses." Her eyes flickered to her lap as her chekks were a tomayo redand I grinned.
"Damn! Just for futurees references if you hear loud knocks on your window at night it may be be locked on your fire excape so leave the window unlocked." She laughed
"Yes sir!" She said so dramatic and I laughed just as she looked to the road, and her eyes widened at the sight of the ice rink. Her face lit up and turned to me in a smile, "Is this it?"
"Yes mam'!" I said as I parked, "But it will cost you for me paying for us both." Her eyes widened not getting it then smiled, She gets it. She leaned over and so did i when our lips met I could feel her body shiver and I grinned, the way her lips felt were so amazing it was unbeleivable. I chewed on her top lip and she opened her mouth and invited me in. I smoothed my tongue into her mouth and her tongue met me halfway. As they tangoed me and Alicia got more closer, I moved my handto her perfectly rounded ass and hers entwined in my hair. She pulled herself on my lap and pushed on me farther. For a girl with such beauty and a perfect personallity she sure is forward and I loved it. But I don't think I can go this long with this lie, which may possibly one day force me to kill her.
I knew I was a little too excited but he did this to me, I made my way onto his lap and he let me. Pulling me closer his lips grazed mine and I loved it. "Mmmm..." I moaned.
He laughed and licked my bottom lip before pulling back, I slowly fluttered my eyes open and he was grinning. I could feel my smile widen, "Oh I'm still on your lap aren't I..." I started to move but he stopped me.
"You can stay and claim it your property." He grinned and I giggled.
"Maybe another time let's go skate." I threw the door open and pulled him the rest of the way and began to run to the skate booth. After paying twenty dollars for both ourskates Derek laced up mine along with his. I could feel him watching me as I put on lipgloss and my cheeks beganto burn, "You're gonna keep staring aren't you?" I turned to his face my nose touched his and we smiled.
"Always sweetie." He wrapped his arms around my waist and I could feel deepen their shade. He gave me a peck on my lips and pulled me off the bench and onto the ice, amazingly I stayed up as Derek glided next to me, "Okay no offense I know nothing about you and I kinda like it."
"You wanna play twenty questions?" I asked and he nodded. "Kk um fave color?"
"Blue."
"red."
"Favorite animal?"
"Monkey."
"Squirrel" I looked at him and laughed "what you wouldn't want to climb a tree no hassle and stuff your face with nuts?"
I giggled and nodded, "Sure. Favorite movie?"
"Ted."
"I love that movie!" Now we had our hands around each other.
"Sweet um...would you eat a salad or big Mac?"
"Are you crazy a big Mac?"
"Now I love you even more!" He picked me up by my sides and spun me around. As I screamed with laugher he laughed amused. We went on for a while playing twenty questions and skating when my legs gave out and Derek offered pizza. We brought our skates back and turned for the car.
"My legs hurt!" I whined and he grunted happily.
"Okay sweetie!" He bent down and I leaped up on his back.
"Wow you're a light little thing!" He smirked.
"I know." I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck and squeezed him tight. We came to the car and got in, he turned on the car then radio and began to drive. I was staring at Derek when I heard 'Someone like you by Adele', "Omg I love this song." I began to sing along 'i wish nothing but the best for you oh don't forget me baby I'll remember you say sometimes it lasts but sometimes it hurts instead..." Derek cut me off.
"Damn sweetheart you can sing really good!" I turned to see his amused and excited face.
"Stop trying to charm me you know you already have."
"I'm not trying to charm you I'm seriuos you can sing!" He put his arm around meand stopped the car, the great aroma of baking dough filled the car and I sighed at the love of it. "Come on."
I got out the car me and Derek hand and hand when someone yelled my name, "Alicia!" I turned to see my older cousin Samantha wave to me with Zach, Matt, and Zoe. The three friends I shared with Sam.
"Oh my god Sammy!" I rushed over and hugged her with joy. The other three joined the hug and we all jumped with joy when I noticed Derek standing back with a sad face. "Oh guy" I pulled back "this is my..." I had no idea if we were together.
"I'm her boyfriend Derek." He so saved me as he said that and hugged Sam.
"I'm her cousin Samantha but they all call me Sam." They exchanged hellos as Derek met the others.
"Heyy why don't we all have some pizza together!" Zoe said excitedly.
"Yeah that's a great idea!" I laughed and looked at Derek as he smiled with a nod. We all got a booth in the corner that fit us all but I sort of got squished in the corner and kinda sat on Derek's lap. I could feel him grinning and my cheeks burned and Sam spoke up.
"So Ali how did you two meet?" she squealed as Matt and Zach got up to order the pizzas.
"Well we met when I got here he grabbed my bag, we argued, pulled, then he broke it. And well come to find out after I vowed if I ever saw him again I'd kill him yet he goes to my school." I looked at him and he smiled.
"And after about three days of knowing her and bothering her she agreed to go out on a date with me and here we are..." He kissed my cheek.
"And I'm glad I did!" I smiled and felt him grin more.
"Aww I'm happy for you Ali you know I'm still trying to look for the right guy but after your old breakup I'm not sure I want to date anyone yet." I felt my stomach drop as she brought up the breakup with Jonathan I turned to see Derek staring at me. "Speaking of that how are you have your parents forgiven you for what happened to Meagan?"
Amazingly my head was still not falling because if it weren't for me sitting on Derek lap I would have dropped to the floor. Then he spoke, "whose Meagan?"
"Oh no he doesn't know about Meagan!?" I felt my eyes water as I was about to look at Derek again when the others came back with the pizza.
"LET'S EAT!" Zach and Matt yelled together and I leaped up jumping off of Derek, over Zoe, and out the door. I cried the whole way out the door past Derek's truck and to a nearby street bench and cried my eyes out. Those were the tears i had been holding back about the accident for almost four months and it felt good when I heard someone yell my name.
