Chapter 9

Io's. P. O.V

Fuck. I feel so drained, I mean physically and emotionally a little, drained. Last night was the worst, I had a nightmare again. These things just love me, they said io's a wimp let's harass his ass whole night. Thank god for mom and dad, they protected me. I laid awake between the two most important people in my life. I took in the way how Lexi's face looks when he sleeps plus Dereck’s own to. What I can perv early in the morning it's my rights. Oh. I forgot today is the day I find someone to replace them. I mean my feelings for them is becoming stronger day by day. When they cuddle me like this and care for me so deeply like this I get the wrong idea in my head. Before I can hurt them, or disappoint them, I'm gonna set myself on the right path. It's already hurting just the idea.

"Oh Hell Naw, you did the dirty, you got some ". Why does this bitch always had to be in folks house so early. Rolling my eyes I raised up and faced her. " do you have to speak so fucking loud and no I didn't jeez ". I said almost whisper shouting. " alright alright, it looked like that to me". She said.

" so my car has gone to the mechanic, so we gots to foot, or do you wanna call China or that hoe Marley for a ride?". She asked. But I remembered yesterday and I started to blush. No way can I face them so early. Maybe at lunch but hell no. " it would be nice to have some peace in the morning time kiddies". Lexi said. Oh snap I wonder if he heard all that. Ahh hhhhhhh. "we're you always up dad?. I asked. " good morning to you to and no, my sleep was ruined by big mouth over there". He said gesturing towards Jenna. " OK". I said. Getting up off the bed I ran to the bathroom to take a leak then off to the shower and brushing my teeth while bathing. By the time I was all finished Jenna was tapping her feet with inpatients. Dad and mom relocated to their bedroom. Picking up an Apple, on the way out, I was ready for the walk to school.

" hey Jenna I want a boy friend, I've been thinking. About getting one ". I told her. She stopped walking then looked at me. " are you serious Io, and what about Lexi and Dereck are you giving up on them before you even started". She said. What choice did I have, this could end badly for me. " Well yeah I can't tell them, hey Lexi, Dereck ,you know I have a big ole crush on ya" I said sarcastically. " what's the worst they can do Io". She said. Obviously she had a great life, born with a golden spoon. Shoved up her asshole. " carry me back, Jenna, I've never had a stable home, you know this already, what if they carry me back, I can't risk it ". I said. We were both quiet and I just resumed walking. " I

know I know Io, but you're gonna go for someone you know you'll never make happy, you already love them Io. Doing that is gonna make you unhappy ". She said. I know she right but I rather be unhappy than be sent back to that God forsaken place.

As we walked in silence, a basket ball rolled across my feet, using my own I stopped it and bend down to pick it up. What I wasn't ready for was a shadow to be looming over my small body. I looked up and damn this guy was like a sex god. I mean he only had shorts on, his abs were all sweaty and he had black short hair and hazel eyes. "Ummmmmm ". Shit his greatness stunned me. " words io words". Jenna said I completely forgot she was even there, and even her was looking at the fine piece of work. " sorry but that's my ball". The great voice said. " oh yeah here you go " Jenna did all the talking cause I was just a blushing mess. I think I swallowed my tongue cause nothing coherent was coming up. " I'm Christian by the way and you are he said gesturing to the both of us., " I'm Jenna and this is io my best friend". She said. " well it's nice to meet you". He said in his velvety voice. " well see you around, but we've got to go " Jenna said pulling my arm and continuing

On our way. " Jesus fucking Christ io are you OK, you looked like you got electrocuted up your butt". Jenna said stifling a laugh. This bitch I hate her but I love her. " he was just so sexy I mean I can see myself with him". I said to her. " well it's too late baby boy you'll not be seeing him again". " yeah that's true ". I said.

We made our way to the gates of hell on time and everything. China, Marley and Jamie, were all gathered by my locker. " Hey guys how was the walk ". China said first. It was tiring I said in my head but worth it, I got to see a sex god. " it was alright but I'm not attempting that again suckers ". Jenna exclaimed. " So what's got you all blushy and quiet than usual " Marley asked me". " nothing". I whispered quietly. " OK then, ". He said then continued talking to one another..........................................

The day passed by, relatively quickly and the end met me waiting for mom at the same curb I do everyday. My phone ringed and I answered it, " hello". I said. " io we wouldn't be able to come pick you up OK. We have a meeting in some minutes with a client OK, get a ride from one of you're friends k". He said and hanged up. But all my friends already left. Well guess walking home is my only option. Walking with my head down, I made my way home, but I thinks the universe likes to screw with me so i, almost ended up getting floored, by not watching where I'm going. Luckily i grounded myself or that would have been a nasty fall. " woahhhhh,that would have been a really bad fall, io ". A great voice said. I know exactly who it is too. I had no idea he would still be here. " uhhhhhhhhh ". Dammit mouth speak. " h......... Hi Christian". Cool that was cool io so so cool. Who am I kidding that was lame. " so what ya doing, ". He asked. " well............. I'm walking home ". I said. " don't you have a car, how r old you?". He said. I

would have felt offended but I could see the playful look in his eyes. " I'm 16, and considered an adult, I just don't want a car, plus my mom usually picks me up, he and my dad are busy, and Jenna’s car's at the mechanic. ". I finished telling him. "pffftttttt an adult OK. That is rich". He finished saying. " so do you want me to walk you home". He said. " I'm almost there, it's not a big deal". I said getting flustered. " but I want to let's go, he said grabbing my arm along with him". He said. " OK ".. I just went along with him...........................................................................

" so io, it was great seeing you again, am mm mm mm.can I have your number". He asked me by the front door. "s......... Suurree". I stuttered out like a retard. I handed him my phone and watched as he saved his number, slide the phone in my waiting hand , then smoothly turned and disappeared down the street, at that moment the only thing on my mind was that I got a hottie’s number. Turning around and heading into the door, I was met with no one. It's time like this I get lonely the most and miss Lexi and Dereck. Heading to my room I, take out my books to complete my given assignments. While finishing up the little rough edges on my home work, a msg comes across on my phone.

Chris:hey sweet cheeks

Io: who's this. Even though I know full well it's Christian because he put his name in my phone.

Chris: Christian here, are you missing me yet.

Io: pffftttttt already aren't you moving fast

Chris : fast?, really nah

Io: gone are the days when, you get taken to a first date first. Then sweet talk later.

Chris: lol. A www www. Do you want to go on a date with me?.

He did not just asked me that. What am I supposed to say.

Io: uhhhhhhhhh........ Let's just take it slow OK. You don't know me and I don't you.

Chris: but we can know each other heh.

Io: hmmmmm good point. I'll let you know when OK. Got to go have tons of home work. Bye Christian.

Chris : bye sweet cheeks, don't be gone to long.

Did he now give me the title from Ariana Grande's songs omg. I waited for Lexi and Dereck to get home in my room.

" I we're home ". That was mom's voice I bolted out of my room and towards their voices, which was coming from the kitchen area. I missed then so much. I hugged them so tight. " hey hun how was you're day?. " Lexi asked me. " it was alright and I forgot to tell you I have a party to go Saturday". I told them. " is that so, who are you going with?". Dereck asked. " Jenna and the whole group". I answered. " well just be careful OK hun". He said. I nodded my head, and made my way to my room again. Right a bathe dinner bed. I went to the shower and stripped. Hit me baby, I turned on the water, bit not water. Damn it maybe needs fixing. I told myself. I wrapped my towel around my waist and walked out my room to the guest room. " uhhhhhhhhh faster Lexi". I wish I stayed in my room, cause what I was witnessing was, downright sinful. The door was halfway open and Lexi was in between Dereck’s leg.
