New Americana
Are You Jealous?
It had been a few weeks since I met Nick. We ended up spending a lot of time together, actually we hung out everyday sometimes at the movies, coffee shops, skate park, but mostly my place. The Fuentes's house didn't have many rules when it came to hanging out with the opposite gender, only no sex wile the parents are home, and our guest has to be gone by midnight. We always hug out in my room, pigging out on junk food, listening to music, watching movies, we always had a good time. But today went a little differently.
I was in the kitchen cooking some omelets for breakfast when Mike walked in. He slapped my butt as he passed to grab himself a glass. I let out a shriek. "First you make me hit my head on a wall and now you're slapping me? Whats next?" I let out a giggle and looked in his direction but we was facing the cabinets and was paying no attention to me. "Mike you want an omelet or two?" he just noded his head very fast with a grin on his face. When I finished making the omelets I set the plates in on the kitchen table then went and got ketchup for me and hot sauce for Mike. I sat across him so we could have a conversation but he kept his head down. "What are you doing today?" I ask trying to get something out of him, he just shrugged his shoulders. Growing frustrated I blurted out "whats wrong with you? We were on good terms until a couple weeks ago, so whats up?" He just looked at me with no emotion "Why don't you just go be with your boyfriend like you do everyday" he rolled his eyes and put his dishes in the sink.
"I don't have a boyfriend, so I have no idea what you're talking about" I say sounding confident but confused at the same time. "You know, your little boy toy? The lanky one with the blonde hair and has the total hots for you?" He rolled his eyes while saying the last part. "Who Nick? He does not have the hots for me! We are just friends! Actually he's my only friend here since you too busy with your head up your ass to even get to know me or introduce me to people. And Vic actually has job so I can't blame him." I spat, growing more angry as I went on.
"Are you fucking kidding me Petra? I've seen the way he looks at you, he likes you. And as for me, I know you! I know your type and that's exactly why I don't wanna be friends with you, you're a slut who bitches all the time and has a ton of money and you rub it in people's faces" he shout back walking closer to me. "Well fuck you then cause you have everything backwards! I'm not a slut cause I'm still a virgin and I haven't even kissed anyone, and I don't bitch all the time! As for money, yeah my FAMILY key word family!! has money but I still have to get a job to pay for the things I want. I saved every penny from my job back home and that's why I have quite a bit now! God I fuckin hate you!" I shout back, my face red from yelling and loss of breath. How dare he think those things of me?
"What do you mean you're a virgin?" His voice very low as if he were whispering. Really that's all he heard out of my rant? Pig."I mean I havnt had sex, I've never had a boyfriend before, never kissed anyone, or held hand with anyone" I reply sounding stubborn, it really was a stupid question. Before I could say anything else Mike grabbed my face and kissed me, it was a deep kiss but didn't involve tongue, thank god cause I was very inexperienced. When our lips disconnected Mike looked into my eyes, then my lips, and back to my eyes as if he wanted to do it again but I stepped back and just looked at him curiously. He wore a small smug and his cheeks were a shade of pink I've never seen him wear before.
I quickly kissed him again. He seemed to be a bit confused but I truly never felt the lips of another on my own.It felt different, I need to do this more often. What a rush. He walked forward while I walked backwards until he pushed me back and I was laying on my bed, he was over top of me kinda straddling me. He was just about to kiss me aging but then my phone rang and saved me, it was Nick. "Hey what's up?" I answered "wanna come camping with me and my family this week?" He asked sounding hopeful, I looked at Mike seeing his face drop a little, "yeah sure, I'll just have to ask, I'll let you know tonight if I can come" "awesome! I'm coming over later by the way, like in an hour or two" "sounds good see you then". I hung up the phone and looked at Mike, "uh I.. I don't really know what to say. Can we be just friends? Get to know each other?" I say trying my best not to hurt Mikes feelings. He gave me a big toothy grin and said "I'd like that" before he crawled into my bed and fell asleep.
