Reasons I Fell for the Funny Fat Friend Part 25

I open my mouth, but her fingers zoom up to cover my lips. "How many girls have seen you like this?"

"One. Including you."

She smiles, resting her head on my chest. I run my hands up her bare back, wis.h.i.+ng it was the right moment to undo that bra.

"Not even girls at a pool?" she whispers.

I shrug. "I'm not much of a swimmer."

Her hold tightens around my middle. That bra clasp teases my fingertips, so I move my hand upward to the back of her neck instead to keep control.

"That was the obvious reason," she says, looking at me again, "but you... you look at me like..."

A gust of air goes out her nose as she loses the words. I press my forehead against hers.

"Like you're the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen?"

She nods, and we're both quiet for a minute. Then I say, "What did I do to deserve you?" at the same time she says, "I don't deserve someone like you."

We chuckle and her fingers slide up to my neck. "It took me so long to let you kiss me because I knew this might happen."

That makes one of us. "You did?"

She nods again, keeping her dark green eyes locked on mine. "I knew once we started kissing, I wouldn't want to stop. And I don't." She sets her forehead on mine, then whispers against my lips. "Please, don't stop, Brody." Her fingers go back to my belt while my head spins. "I want to give you everything... if you want it."

Oh man, do I want it. I smile and hold her close, letting her undo my buckle.

"On one condition."

She pauses and looks at me. I kiss the tip of her nose.

"You let me give everything to you."

She gets my belt undone and whips it out from my belt loops.

"Deal."

Her fingers go to my top b.u.t.ton, and that's when I realize something that's pretty important.

"Wait... I don't think I have any protection, Hayles."

Her smile doesn't fall.

"You don't need to worry about that."

She twists my top b.u.t.ton open.

"What?"

Her hands trail downward, and I'm about to lose all train of thought.

"It's a long story, and I promise I'll tell you." She kisses my neck as she gets my zipper down. "But later. I really don't want to ruin the moment with, uh, girly talk. Just know you don't have to worry about knockin' me up."

Where did this confident Hayley come from? She's being so... seductive and s.e.xy and yeah, I can't think anymore. I don't want to. I just want to be with her.

And give her another first as she gives me one of mine.

Reason 23: You're as h.o.r.n.y as I am Mom and Dad couldn't have picked a better weekend to be out of the house. Waking up with Hayles in my arms is somethin' that makes my gut clench in that good way.

She's still asleep... I think. There's a small smile on her lips from what I can see, but her back is to me. I kiss that s.e.xy tatt on her shoulder, and she sighs.

Guess she is awake.

"Hey."

She sighs again. "Sup?"

I chuckle, tightening my hold on her waist. She tucks one of her legs between mine and giggles.

"What?"

Her neck twists so she can meet my eyes. "Jumping jellybeans, Brody. I'm just so frickin' happy."

Ah h.e.l.l. "Me too."

We kiss, I don't even care we both have mornin' breath. I got mints in my drawer if we need *em. But I'm not moving from this spot until I have to.

"So, you're okay with... everything?"

She wiggles her body so she's facing me, hitchin' her leg up on my hip and grabbin' my hand to put on her b.u.t.t.

"I kinda wanna do it again." Her face flushes.

Sweet. *Cause I want to do it again too. That was pretty much the best thing I've ever experienced.

"All right." Why is my voice shakin'? I don't have any more reason to be nervous around her. She's given me everythin' already.

"Oh!" she squeals right as I go in for another kiss. "What time is it?"

I sigh. "Really?"

"Yeah." She leans up and searches the room for a clock. "Sorry, but I need to be home by... c.r.a.pola! Is that clock right?"

I should lie so she stays in bed with me. But I don't want any more trouble for her. "Yeah."

Her lip juts out as she cuddles back into me. "I gotta go."

No. "Just stay a little bit longer?" I tug her closer to my body, and I feel her sigh of defeat against my chest.

"Two minutes. But then I really have to go."

"I think we can pump one out in two minutes." I smile and tilt her chin up. She's laughin' and smacks me... okay, more like taps me in the arm.

"As romantic as that sounds..." She rolls her eyes. "That's not what I meant. I just... can you just hold me?"

h.e.l.l yeah I can hold her. I'll even kiss her too.

"Hey," I say after what's been way longer than two minutes, "you promised me you'd tell me that long story about why, you know, we don't have to worry about, uh, protection."

"Oh that's right."

She's quiet, stifling a large grin as she traces patterns on my chest.

"So...?"

"I don't really have time to tell you, but you deserve to know I guess. Especially since we're probably going to be doin' this a lot." Her eyes go to mine, her mouth popping open like she just realized she said that out loud.

She's so d.a.m.n cute.

I kiss her, keeping my tongue in my mouth this time though in case of morning breath and not being able to control myself again, but it's hard and urgent enough for her to know that yeah, I want to do this with her forever.

When we break apart, she wraps her arm around my side and squeezes me close to her. "Okay, so you know the whole dairy theory, right?"

What the h.e.l.l? "No."

She smiles and gives me a rapid nod. "Yeah! There was this awesome article about if you have a lot of dairy right before you have s.e.x it works as a good birth control."

Oh no. She better be jokin'. But her eyes are dead serious, and she squeezes me again.

"And I had like, a ton of milk, two thingys of yogurt, and grilled cheese yesterday. So we should be good!"

No. No. No.

"Hayles..."

She busts out in laughter, her body pulsing against me and it's my turn to smack-more like tap-her in the arm.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. You think you're so funny." I smile and press my forehead against hers. "Will you please tell me the real reason now?"

"Okay, but the real reason has to do with a whole bunch of girly stuff you'll think is nasty."

"Try me." *Cause after that dairy thing, I better make sure we were really *covered' last night.

"I've been on the pill for like, two years now."

Okay...

"Why?"

"Girl stuff." She shakes her head. "Don't worry about it."

Don't worry about it? How can I not worry about it?

"But last night... it was your first time, right?"

"Duh."

"Then why-"

"Seriously, Brody. You don't want to know."

I wiggle my nose against hers. I probably don't wanna know, but I hate when she keeps things from me. "Come on."

She c.o.c.ks her head, giving me the *you asked for it' grin. "Okay, boy I'm in bed with, I used to have a high flow period and it was so bad I needed to be put on birth control so I don't go through a hundred tamp-"

"Okay!" Ugh, she was right. I didn't want to know. "I got it."

Her laughter is so contagious, even though she just about made me puke.

"Alrighty, close your eyes."

My eyebrow goes up. "Why...?"

"*Cause I have to get dressed." She tugs the blanket around her chest as she slides to the edge of the bed.

"And I have to close my eyes because...?" I saw everythin' last night, and yeah I want to see her again.

"Because things look different in the light." She smiles before putting her hand over my eyes. "And I don't want you going, *Yuck! That's what I did it with last night?'"

Is she serious? "Knock it off, Hayles," I say, pus.h.i.+ng her hand away. "You. Are. Beautiful." I reach over to tug the blanket off her, but she fights me.

"Hey!" She's giggling, and I take that as my cue to pin her against the mattress. Holding her arms above her head, I take in all of her while she's laughing and yelling at me to stop ogling.

I can't though. She's too hot.

"Hayles?"

She stops laughing, but the smile is still on her face. "Yeah, perv?"

My eyes go to hers. I don't even have to fight to keep them there. I want to look at her like this.

"Did you mean what you said last night?"

"Which part?"

Her hands slide from under my grasp and she rests them on my chest. It feels so good to be this close with her.

"That you're falling in love with me."
