Chapter 10
crying and begging me to stop. Tugging and pulling. "Kev! stop it hurts." she whined. "You said you twisted your ankle right, stay still I'm trying to help." I reached for her ankle again. "It's fine, it's fine. I'll just put ice over it." she limped to the kitchen and grabbed a try of ice and a plastic bag. "Kev do you think you can stay the night and help me? I don't think I'll make it upstairs by my self." she asked, 'She think I'm going to fall for her tricks again.' I sat down in one of the kitchen chairs. they were wobbly, I barley kept my balance. "I don't think I can Nazz, but I'll see if Sarah and Jimmy can help." I looked down at my phone; 4:00. 'I should go...I don't want to stay here any longer, I'll help her for about an hour and leave..wanna get ready for some basketball..' Nazz walked over to the table and sat in the chair next to me. "I can't believe Ashley would do something like that to me." She smiled at me, She does have a beautiful smile but It's not like how I remember it. 'People who are raised around attention must crave it I guess...' I put my elbow on the table placing my hand on my head leaning on it, "You want something to eat? I have about an hour before I leave. " She held my hand, "Don't go Kev. I need your help." She made a frown and puppy eyes. "Come on Nazz, I wanna go play ball with the guys..." I pouted making her laugh. For the next hour we watched a couple of tv shows while I massaged her foot. "So...you and Edd..." She started laying down on the couch looking at the TV. I'm sitting up on the couch on the far end with her foot in my hands. "Yeah...what about us?..." I said leaning back staring at her. "I just thought...we would of lasted..you know?" I shifted my body so I'm leaning the opposite of her leaning on the arm rest. "Kev...?" she crawled over to me. "Nazz i can't have this conversation with you. you know why we separated..." I looked at her, I was kinda getting irritated. "You love him don't you..."
I thought about his smile and the way he would cover his face when ever he's embarrassed, The way he would kiss me with his soft lips. I remembered how he was laying on top of me with only his shirt on. how he would call my name out and hold on to me. I did love him, I truly loved him. I couldn't Deny it. but, Is the word "Love ever enough...?" I asked looking up at the ceiling. she leaned on me. "It's never enough but..does it mean anything to you?"
"What do you think..."
"I think you love him, have you told him yet?"
"..N..no.."
"Where is he now?" I reached for my phone that was in my pocket and remembered I seen him with Lue. I sent a quick text.
a few moments later a picture attachment is received. he was in a café with Lue. His smile warmed my heart. "Every time you think about him you smile...I wish I were Edd...but I'm not him...huh..." She stood up and walked to the door. "Don't be upset with Ashley...and don't let anyone ruin you and Edd..." she opened the door, I slowly walked to her and held her. "Thank you Nazz..." I pressed my forehead to hers. "Ashley did not take your place...don't you ever think that again. " As I held her for a couple more seconds we parted ways. I made my way to my house for a couple more things and then made my way to the school.
I walked towards the school, passing random people on the street. noticing some familiar faces from the school as I get closer. sometimes they'll nod or wave. Some of the school girls will blush and wave. 'I still have that effect huh...' I thought with a small chuckle. "Casanova Kevin-boy! over here!" I seen Rolf by the side doors of the school leading to the court room. "Where's Lue?" he asked, I turned around and seen Lue from a far, walking to the school. "There." I pointed.
"Did Edd make it home alright?" I asked, Lue just looked at me then he slowly nodded. "is something wrong?" I asked pushing his shoulder. "Yeah everything is alright. Text him and make sure."
I sent a quick text to Edd; are you home yet? Worried about you Double D.
Rolf and Lue started talking about the basketball team in the school, My thoughts about last year's game and it was horrible, I was kinda happy That I left the team my sophomore year. It was quite embarrassing. My phone vibrated again; yes I'm ok, outside with Ashley looking at the stars. I was making her laugh and feel better about today's incident. everything is fine.' I was kinda shocked that he got Ashley to laugh and make her feel better. "Lue, Edd got your sister to laugh dude." I showed Lue the message, "Maybe he got her to sleep with him next. " Lue chuckled and Rolf pushed him. "How dare you insult the son of a Shepard while he's behind you!" Lue turned to Rolf and pushed him back playfully. They both started laughing and walking into the court room. I looked up at the stars. 'It is a beautiful night isn't it...' I'm reminded to what Nazz told me. "Have you told him yet?" I squeezed my phone a bit and looked down at it, and sent another message before I walking into the court room.
Good...stay safe, I love you...
Then shortly after another warming message from him:
I love you too Kevin...
"Yo kevin let's go!" I placed my phone in my pocket and walked inside the school. "I found some more people who wants to join us. is that cool?" Lue said holding the basketball in his hands. I looked over to the other players. they were freshman. I chuckled and gestured for the ball, Lue tossed it to me and I caught it. "Teams? " I asked. "Sure Kevin, just don't get upset when we kick your ass." Lue pointed to 4 of the 7 freshman and they follows him lining up around the half court. Lue bumped into my shoulder while walking pass. I turned around following him. "What ever doll face." I tossed the ball to Lue. "Check it." I mumbled. "Doll face? that's not what Edd called me while we were on our...small Date..." Lue winked at me teasing me. I glared at him getting a bit irritated. "Fuck...you..." I hissed at him. He tossed the ball back to me as I looked around for Rolf to pass. "Did I upset you Kevin?" Lue smirked and while in rage I bumped pass him dribbling the ball pass him but found myself being blocked by two of his men. "Hey!" a voice yelled. I looked up to see Rolf, As I jumped up to toss him the ball, I'm being taunted by Lue behind me. "Buzz off Dude." I elbowed him while watching Rolf aiming high and making the shot. "1 us." one of the freshman said high five'in another player. "Come on Kevin don't be upset with me because of me and Edd's small date. it was nothing. well, I did held onto him. such a nice body." Lue smiled catching the ball to check it again. "Check the ball Lue..." I hissed at him again placing my hands on my waist leaning over a bit. 'Why is he teasing me?...he knows how I feel about Edd...its kinda pissing me off...' then he said this. "Ok If I win, and we all know I will, I get to take Edd on another Date." he started to spin the ball on his finger. I glared at him, "What makes you think I'm going to agree to that?"
"Because you like a challenge..." he tossed the ball to me. "I'm not going to answer that Lue." I started walking and dribbling the ball. He was blocking me. " Ok, If I lose I'll stop flirting with him..." he whispered so only I can hear. I glared at him and tossed the ball to one of the freshman and ran up to the rim. "Don't play with me like that Lue." Lue chuckled and continued to guard me. "Can't take a joke?" he asked the freshman tried throwing the ball to me again then Lue snatched it out the air. he turned to the rim and took a shot. "1, 1 " Lue said leaning over to me. "Kevin, come on. let me take the little guy somewhere. It's not like I'm going to take him away from you."
All throughout the game Lue taunted and teased me about Edd. I wanted him to stop but he thinks were joking around. He kept making jokes about taking him away from me. Near the end of the game it was 19 to 18. They were winning. I can say that Lue is great at basketball, but I didn't want him to win. not because he said he will because he thinks the bet is real. I tried my best to take the ball from Lue, but he would dodge me or trick me in going another way. Then finally I snatched the ball from the freshman he passed it to and made a shot. "19, 19 Kevin." Lue whispered in my ear. "Piss off Lue." I growled. He checked the ball and the last round started. This time I had to make a shot or Rolf, Lue knew this so he was blocking the way. The freshman was open but he has a terrible grip he would drop it or forget he's playing.
"Decisions Decisions..." Lue arms were widely stretched and him body was blocking Rolf. I went for it. Passing Lue and dribbling up to the Rim. -smack- the ball bounced out my hands and into the other teams hands. The freshman passed it to Lue and Lue jumped, I tried smacking the ball out his hand but I didn't jump high enough.
They scored. "What did I say?" Lue was being the cocky douche like he usually is when he play sports. "Now about that date..." Lue leaned over to me and nudged my shoulders. "I never agreed to any of that Lue, you're not taking him any where." The freshman left out the court room. We waved good-bye to Rolf as he followed them walking down the street. "I don't understand, Why are you upset over a small joke? ok look. lets all go to the movies tomorrow. you, me, Edd, Ash and Rolf. after school? Yeah?" Lue dribbled the basket ball was we walked outside. "The movies?...after school?.." I thought looking up at the sky. "Yeah It'll be fun. trust me." Lue tossed me the ball as I caught it. "Fine, but no funny business! I'm serious." I pointed at him tossing the ball back to him as he walk backwards in front of me, we were walking to the bus stop. "Funny business? like what a 3 way?" He smirked at me, I stopped walking and stared at him. He stopped also. I waited for him to say 'Just kidding' but, he didn't. "L-"
"Hey, there is my bus, I'll see you tomorrow at school? stay frosty." as he ran to the bus stop I couldn't stop thinking about what he said. "3 way?...this guy must be crazy if I would let him touch my Edd that way..." I thought aloud, I continued my walk home. replaying that thought in my head and then something hit me. Thinking of Edd in that type of way, handling two dicks in his hand turned me on. 'Fuck...I can't be serious...' I looked up at the sky while walking.
"My god...whats gotten into me... "
