Jumping over my Mountain, Chapter 16
Zeke's point of view
"Okay, cooking is mad hard," Skyler said as he stared at the ingredients list and directions with a frown marring his features, "Shit, this is harder than that calculus class I took senior year in high school," he muttered running his fingers through his short black, choppy hair.
I eyed his hair. After he finished fussing it, the longer top piece was sticking up messily, like a fake Mohawk and I liked the look on him. It was different; not many Asian guys had that hairstyle or could pull it off.
I continued down his body and loved how his European style jeans fit his narrow waist and lean body perfectly. He looked really good.
God Skyler was fucking hot. Especially when he was frowning in concentration and biting his lip. And especially when he was concentrating so hard on a cooking recipe. He just looked so much sweeter in my mind.
Skyler looked up at me, lifting his eyes slowly from the page, his lashes fluttering seductively as he did so. I swallowed and felt my cock slightly twitch in my pants.
"What?" Skyler asked.
I shook my head and smiled at him. "Hey, you're the one who wanted to take this cooking class, remember?"
He sighed, "Yeah, but this is really hard."
I chuckled, "It's not so bad," I said taking my own copy of the recipe.
Today was our day off and we were at Shoprite where they offered cooking classes and we were making some chicken, pasta, pesto sauce dish and Skyler honestly looked frustrated.
I looked at some other people taking the class as well; there were some couples, a mother and a young son, and two sisters. The room was filled with noise as people bustled about getting ingredients and occasionally arguing.
The pasta part was easy, boil the water and dump the pasta and time it. He managed that ok, but he was eyeing the chicken with disgust.
"I don't want to touch raw chicken," he said.
I laughed, "Oh don't be such a baby."
Skyler pouted, "It looks slimy and with all those globs of yellow fat," he whined.
"But you love eating chicken," I reminded.
"But cooking it is different," he said, "Can you please cut it or whatever?" he pleaded turning his brown eyes on me.
I loved his eyes. They were pretty eyes, feminine. They were so round and surrounded by dark black lashes, they stuck out on his pale face and contrasted with his defined jaw and straight, pointed nose. Those eyes were the death of me.
"Fine," I said sighing although I really didn't mind doing it for him.
"Really?" Skyler asked with delight.
I grinned at him. "Skyler, I'll cut chicken for you. I'll cook for you; I'll do anything for you."
He smiled at me and ran his hand along my ass, squeezing it briefly.
I jumped a little. I wasn't in the closet or anything, but I wasn't into being a gay touchy feely couple in public. I'd rather leave that to the straight folks. But Skyler never seemed to mind anything.
"Skyler," I hissed as he came closer.
"I love you," he murmured and as soon as he said those words, I had no resistance left and I sighed as his hand moved up my lower back and then to my side where he rubbed my hip. "Mm, I love you Zeke," he whispered in my ear and I felt myself getting hard.
I really wanted to ditch this cooking class and go to the men's bathroom right now.
"You know Zeke, if this dish turns out good, I'll give you the best sex of your life tonight," Skyler said turning back to his funny self.
"Oh really?" I asked playing along.
Skyler nodded. "Oh yeah," he said licking his lips.
I blushed, "Okay stop doing that or I'm gonna blow in my pants."
Skyler laughed, "Well focus on cooking! I'm hungry!" he said swatting my arm.
I grinned, "Fine, but I'm gonna hold you to your deal."
"You got it baby," Skyler said winking.
I felt him slap my ass gently. "Now get cooking."
Hiro's point of view
I reached into a drawer in Crew's kitchen for a spoon to get rid of some of the clumps in the cake batter.
I had stopped by Crew's house to just hang out with him and do our little tradition of baking some cakes. I headed back towards where the bowl was but Crew suddenly jumped right in front of me, stopping me.
He backed me against the kitchen table and leaned into me, smiling.
Ever since we started having sex, Crew was more aggressive and more open about making out and doing stuff together. It was like he became more confident. It was a sexy side of him.
He started kissing me right away and I dropped the spoon so I could wrap my arms around his back.
Crew kept leaning further and further into me, deepening the kiss at the same time. To compensate I slowly rolled myself backwards onto the table and Crew climbed on top of me, straddling me, never breaking the kiss once.
Crew's full lips felt so warm and soft on top of mine and I held his neck gently, keeping his face close to mine while my fingers on my other hand caressed his short hair.
Crew pulled away from me and lifted my shirt up kissing my stomach and up my chest, sucking on my nipples.
I felt a tingle go to my cock and I arched my back, squeezing my eyes shut.
"Mmm, Crew," I mumbled, resting my head on the table, cooling my rapidly heating body. "Feels so good," I murmured, feeling my eyelids fluttering.
This seemed to encourage Crew even more and I felt him pull down my cargo shorts and tug at my briefs, letting my hard on slap up towards my abdomen.
I looked up and saw Crew's pink tongue lick my head and the combination of feeling his warm wet tongue stimulating me and seeing it with my own eyes, I fell back against the table, my head hitting it with a thud.
I moaned as Crew applied more pressure to my piss slit and then slipped my entire length deep inside his mouth.
Crew was really good; he slid up and down me quickly, sliding his tongue up and down at the same time. Every time he reached my head he would flicker his tongue inside my piss slit, twirl the flat of his tongue over my head and repeat the whole process.
It took a very short time for me to cum.
It seemed the pleasure was so much that I couldn't even warn Crew that I was going to cum and lifting my hips I shot spurt after spurt of semen into his mouth.
I shook and tried to reach for something to grip since the feelings were so powerful but there was nothing for me to hold, so I curled my hands into a fist and moaned loudly.
I sat up quickly still breathing heavily and reached inside Crew's shorts, stroking him rapidly. Crew's knees buckled and he fell onto me and I had to brace myself with one hand on the table since I was still feeling tired from cumming only moments before.
Crew pumped his hips in time to my stroking and his face was resting on my chest.
"Hiro," he whimpered burying his face in my neck.
I felt his lips and some teeth on my neck when he came, his hot cum spilling onto my thighs and hand.
Crew panted and just lay his head on my chest, me completely naked, and him naked from the waist down, sitting in his kitchen with some cake batter sitting a few feet from us.
I'm glad Crew's neighbors didn't have a habit of walking around in front of his windows otherwise they would be severely flashed by us.
I rested my chin on his head. "I'm sorry I didn't warn you I was going to cum."
Crew looked at me and smiled brightly. "It's ok Hiro. I wanted to swallow you," he said kissing me. I cupped his head and kissed him back, nibbling on his lips every time I pulled back and I enjoyed how Crew would lean forward constantly to re slip his tongue inside my mouth.
I smiled at him. "What brought this on?" I asked, "And not that I'm complaining, by the way" I added.
Crew looked straight at me and didn't blush like he normally did. "When you bake for me, I don't know, it gets me really hot."
"So all I have to do is whip up some batter and you'll be on me like a cat in heat?" I teased.
Crew blushed then and I laughed. "I just had to say that. You're even more beautiful when you blush," I told him, still not moving from where I was sitting naked.
Crew pouted. "Fine, no more sex for you," he said but his eyes were twinkling.
I hugged him to me tightly. "I love you."
"I love you, Hiro," he said rubbing his nose against mine before kissing me again.
I smiled at him when he grabbed my hand and led me towards his bedroom.
Skyler's point of view
Instead of going after the soccer ball, I chased after Zeke. I was better than Zeke when it came to hockey, snowboarding, skateboarding, those types of sports, but Zeke owned soccer.
I could play well enough but he was really good, doing fancy footwork to fake me out and he ran fast.
Hell, I would have enjoyed just watching his cute little ass running around the soccer field, his naked chest glistening with sweat.
I was a fast runner though and I was able to keep up with him and I sprinted before leaping on top of him. I wrapped my arms around him and fell sideways so I wouldn't fall directly on top of him. I didn't want to hurt him.
"Oompfh," Zeke uttered as we both crashed to the crash. "Skyler!" he cried out wiggling around as I tightened my arms around him and wrapped my legs around his, effectively immobilizing him.
"You're really good baby," I said feeling the heat come off of him from his back to my bare chest.
"Mmm, Skyler," he said as he rubbed his ass against my crotch.
I panted. "Let's go home and get cleaned up, and if you don't stop that," I said referring to his hip gyrations, "I'm gonna have to take you right here in this field and I'm not in the mood to be arrested today for public indecency."
I paused, "Not again."
Zeke eyebrows shot up, "AGAIN?"
I chuckled, "Well when I was sixteen, it was ridiculously hot outside, like 105 or something and I didn't have my license yet and I was close to home. I was walking and I figured, why not start stripping, since my house was, like, right there and my Mom was at work. The bad part was just at that moment a patrol car passed by."
Zeke smirked, "What did he do? Check out the goods?"
I laughed, "Maybe a little, but he let me go once I explained how hot I was and I was in front of my house and not some delinquent who randomly stripped. Plus, I think he just figured I was some dumb kid. I wasn't as tall and strapping back then. I was a bit on the scrawny, skinny side," I added.
Zeke laughed but stopped moving once I released him and I helped him stand up. He grabbed the soccer ball and we walked to my car so we could shower at my apartment.
The air condition inside my apartment felt really nice. I stripped off my shorts before I even made it inside my apartment. It was the beginning of June and it was already getting really hot, reaching the high 90's. I loved warm weather and all, but I didn't like heat and I didn't like extreme cold. I needed to be an in place where it was average temperatures.
I dragged Zeke to the shower and turned it to the cool side and I shuffled him inside before stepping in myself.
I sighed in relief when the water hit me and I stepped out of the way allowing the water to hit Zeke. I felt the sweat and grime wash off me and I instantly felt refreshed.
I backed Zeke against the shower wall and just leaned against him, enjoying the feel of his body against mine. I closed my eyes in satisfaction.
"This feels great," I said sighing in contentment.
"Mmm," Zeke agreed, his eyes closed, "Perfect."
I leaned my forehead against his and my hands drifted to his hips.
"Zeke?"
"Yeah baby?"
"You still want to move in together after we graduate right?"
Zeke held onto my hands resting on his hips.
"Of course I do Sky, I look forward to it. Every time I have to leave you it kills me," he said licking my lips.
"Good," I said opening my eyes and pulling my head back. "Because I was thinking of where we should go."
Zeke looked at me and smiled. "You've thought about it already?"
I nodded. "It's always on my mind, I guess, but the place I want to go to didn't occur to me until just now."
Zeke smiled. "Ok, where do you want to move to?"
"San Francisco!" I said grinning.
"Why there?"
"Think about it, it's perfect weather. It's never too hot or too cold and people there are just cool. And they have a gay friendly atmosphere," I listed off proudly. "Are you ok with that?"
Zeke looked at me and kissed me. "Skyler, I'll go anywhere with you. And everything you just said sounds great."
"Do you want to rent a place or buy a place?" I continued really getting into the idea.
"I don't know, rent," Zeke said. He reached behind me and made the water a little warmer and I felt a little steam surround us.
"I think it's better to buy something. I think we would really like it there, Zeke. Maybe we can get my Mom and Dad to help us buy the property and then we can pay them back once we get some kind of job out there," I said enthusiastically.
Zeke just looked at me in awe.
"My Mom loves you, she'll definitely help me us out. I was thinking over winter break maybe we could go out there with my Mom and look at houses? What do you think of that? It may suck a bit, unless we get separate rooms, but whatever. That way we can go there in May and move in and start our life!" I said excitedly.
Zeke didn't say anything and just hugged me tightly.
"Zeke, what do you think of that?" I asked hugging him back. He still didn't answer me.
"Are you ok?" I asked pulling back to look at him and he looked, I don't know, sad or serious.
"What's wrong?"
"I just can't believe you thought of all that," Zeke said looking at me, "I'm just amazed how all our plans will become a reality."
"Why are you amazed?" I asked confused, "I love you and I want us to live together."
"I love you too Sky," Zeke paused, "But I don't know, I love being with you but every time I leave you I feel so sad and then I think what if you find someone else while I'm gone."
I looked at him. "That's what you think about when you go home? That I might find someone else to be with?"
Zeke nodded looking slightly ashamed.
"Why would you think that? Don't you know I love only you?" I asked genuinely perplexed.
He shrugged. "I can't help it Skyler," he said defensively, "God, do you even know yourself? Everyone loves you! Guys and girls and it's hard for me to compete with that. I mean, take work for example. I swear, Clint never outright says he's gay, but with all his surfing talk he loves to ramble on with you, I'm thinking he's secretly lusting after you!"
I took a step back. "You're crazy!"
"I am not!" Zeke said folding his arms.
"Do you even hear what you're saying?" I scoffed backing away from him. "I'm a social person; that's what you like about me! I can't change who I am and how I act and I don't think I ever gave anyone or Clint any indication that I wanted to start something with them," I said. "And what competition is there? There is no competition for you! There's only you and you already have me!" I exclaimed heatedly.
Zeke rubbed his head with his hand his eyes closed looking stressed out.
"Do you think I flirt too much?" I demanded.
"No," he sighed in annoyance, "You don't; you're just being you. I'm just telling you how I feel, ok? I can't help how I feel."
"No, you can't," I agreed, "But I don't know how to reassure you, Zeke. I mean, I don't go to parties anymore and the only interactions I have with people are in my classes. I'm completely committed and faithful to you. Why can't you see that?" I asked.
Zeke bowed his head. "I don't know, something is wrong with me," he groaned.
I smiled and pulled him into a hug. "Nothing is wrong with you. You're absolutely perfect Zeke. You just have to have faith in me and in our relationship and our future. I believe in us totally, Zeke. I've been thinking about our future together. Living together, coming home from work and seeing your face, making love all night long," I said as I rocked him from side to side with me.
His lips curled upwards.
"On weekends we would wake up late, go for walks on those stupid hills in San Francisco, the only bad part about that area, by the way. Maybe we could get a dog. We'll have guest rooms for Crew and Hiro and Storm and other friends to visit. When we have time we can take mini trips to LA to shop and eat or hang out at the beach," I continued my voice taking on a dreamy quality.
Zeke was full blown smiling now.
"You have everything all planned out don't you?"
"Nah, not that much," I said casually, snapping out of my daydream.
"I really do love you Skyler," Zeke said, "I hate thinking those thoughts. You're just so amazing and I don't ever want to lose you or be without you," he said hugging me tightly again.
"Zeke, you can't worry about losing me, otherwise you'll never enjoy the time you have with me now," I said softly. "Don't do that; don't worry about our relationship ending. Don't make our relationship end, baby. Just be here with me right now," I said rubbing his back soothingly. "I'm happy because I have you and you should be happy because you have me."
"Did you know I never felt anything like this before towards anyone? I used to think I would never get married because I never felt strong enough feelings towards any of the girls I ever dated. I used to feel panicked I would get old and be all alone and have to live next door to Storm and mooch off him and his future wife. It was scary thinking I would be alone for the rest of my life; how unfulfilling my life would have been, but then you came along and changed everything."
Zeke looked up at me and stared into my eyes.
"You came by and I liked you instantly and I thought we would just be really good friends. But I liked you more than a friend, I knew that right away and I admit I was slightly confused with what I was feeling, but then I figured I felt happy with you and if it felt right, I should just go with it. And I'm glad I did because now I feel like I have a home with you, wherever we'll end up. We'll have each other and I look forward to having all those happy years with you."
Zeke smiled and his eyes looked watery and not from the shower water since I was standing in front of the spray.
"You're so cheesy. I never knew you were so sappy," he said his voice thick.
I smiled. "I'm only cheesy for you, baby," I said biting his earlobe, "Don't tell anyone, ok?"
"You're secret is safe with me," Zeke answered.
"I'm going to talk to my Mom about our plans later in the summer before you head back to school. We're going to make our plans happen," I said firmly squeezing Zeke to me. "You're going to end up with me whether you like it or not," I whispered into his ear and Zeke giggled, "even if I have to tie you down and stick you in my trunk."
Zeke laughed out loud. "Sounds kinky."
"Hey I can be kinky as long as you'll stay with me," I teased.
"I'll stay with you no matter what," Zeke said seriously.
Crew's point of view
I had a problem.
A very hard problem.
I was with Hiro at the Werblin Gym on Busch campus and we were in the Olympic sized pools.
Hiro was doing laps and I was watching him. That's where my problem came in.
Hiro looked so good and graceful as his body sharply cut the water and his long, lean limps pulled him through the water. I saw his muscles rippling under his skin and I was getting seriously turned on.
I even noticed some other guys looking at him as he sliced the water with his tight body but that may have been because they were swimmers and liked to check out the competition.
And there were other guys swimming, some girls, and a family on the other side. And I was having trouble hiding my hard on through my swimming shorts. Currently I was standing in the deep end, with my hands over my crotch.
Hiro finished his lap and swam over to me.
"What's wrong?" he asked taking notice of my red face.
"Um, I have a problem," I muttered and Hiro looked at me curiously.
Then I saw a small smile form on his face and I blushed further when he looked down in the water and saw the strategic placement of my hands.
"It's not funny," I said and Hiro laughed.
"I hope that's because of me and not some other guy," he teased wading closer to me.
I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, it's for you. Why do you have to be so damned hot all the time?"
Hiro smiled, "I'll try to work on it and ugly myself up a bit."
I nodded, annoyed that my hard on still hadn't subsided.
"Just keep talking," Hiro advised, "get your mind off of me."
"You're making it worse by standing so close to me," I said edging into a corner.
"Want me to swim another lap?"
"No, that will make it worse too!" I groaned and Hiro laughed.
"What do you want me to do baby?" he asked me.
"I dunno," I said mentally willing my erection to go away. I certainly didn't want to jerk off in a public pool. The thought made me feel like some gross pervert, especially when there were young kids around.
"Think of something gross or unpleasant," Hiro said.
"I can't think of anything right now," I said flushing.
"Well you have to, we can't stay in the pool all day," Hiro said in amusement.
I glared at his lack of helpfulness and Hiro only laughed in reply.
"Ok, let me think of something to tell you," Hiro said and I looked at him expectantly.
It appeared as if Hiro was having trouble coming up with something to tell me but luckily he was saved when I heard two loud splashes come towards us and the sudden shock and interruption helped my situation slightly. Or at least took my mind off of it.
Zeke and Skyler broke the surface and grinned at each other.
"Hey guys," I said looking around, "Where's Storm?"
"He's still in the gym, lifting some weights," Skyler said, "I got tired of working out so I decided to go swimming."
"Working out?" Zeke asked with amusement written all over his face, "I wouldn't call talking with your friends who worked at the front desk working out or counting someone else's pushups."
I laughed and even Hiro was smiling.
Skyler snorted, "Whatever, I don't need to workout. I'm hot enough as it is. I have to give the less good looking people a chance, you know." Zeke laughed out loud, "Besides, look at Storm, he's a workout Nazi and our bodies are still exactly the same," Skyler finished.
I nodded. That was true. I didn't know if Storm worked out to change his body, but he did a lot of weights and boxing but his body was the same. But I think Storm was more concerned about the health benefits of exercise.
"And I do to workout," Skyler added, "I snowboard and play hockey and the other day Zeke and I played soccer."
"Ooh, soccer!" my eyes lit up, "Why didn't you call me? I would have played!"
Hiro laughed at my childish whine, but I couldn't help it. I really loved soccer. And Zeke and I always had so much fun playing because we were really well matched when it came to our physiques and skill level.
Zeke smiled at me. "Don't worry we'll play again some time again before I leave. No holding back either," he pointed his thumb at Skyler, "I had to go easy on him."
Skyler just grinned, "Yeah, this little demon is pretty good."
"Pretty good?" Zeke asked in mock outrage, "I'm fucking awesome!"
"Hiro, you wanna play sometime with the soccer blonds?" Skyler asked, "It can be the Hot Asians versus the Blond studs."
Zeke and I grinned at the nicknames.
Hiro shrugged, "I never really played soccer before," he replied honestly.
My eyes widened, "Ooh, you should give it a try, it's fun!"
Hiro smiled at me. "Ok, I will."
"Were you swimming laps?" Skyler asked us.
"I was, but then I stopped," Hiro said and Skyler shot me a smile.
"Want to swim a few before leaving?" Zeke asked.
I shrugged. May as well.
I nodded and we all took off towards the opposite end. The only one who made it to the opposite wall was Hiro, somehow Zeke, Skyler, and I got caught in a water fight until a lifeguard blew the whistle at us.
Helaku's point of view
"Hey guys!" I called out to the twins as they approached us at the basketball court in Roosevelt Park.
"Sup?" Skyler said as he got closer and he slapped hands with Bryce and me.
I had called up Storm to see if he wanted to play basketball and Storm suggested bringing Bryce and he would drag along Skyler.
"I want to see how good this Bryce is," Storm scoffed when I had called him the night before and I smiled at his competitiveness.
And here we were. I eyed the twins and it was kind of cute how they almost matched. Skyler wore a black wife beater while Storm wore white; they both wore gray gym shorts and white sneakers. And since they both had short hair now, it was kind of hard to tell them apart. They were really identical.
"Where's Zeke?" I asked, surprised that Zeke didn't tag along just to watch. He and Skyler were seriously a two for special.
"He's just sleeping. He's tired."
"Tired from what?" Bryce asked.
Skyler grinned and winked, "Oh he had a long and strenuous night. He needs to rest and let's just say his poor body needs to recover."
"Ugh gross," Bryce remarked and we all laughed.
Skyler shrugged. "Hey we're young and we're making the most of our time together."
I shook my head.
"So let's make this game more interesting?" Bryce suggested.
"Yeah?" Skyler challenged.
"Nothing big. Loser buys lunch?"
"You're on," Skyler said.
I wondered if Skyler was a good basketball player or anything. I had never known Skyler to play and Storm never mentioned anything about Skyler playing either. I knew Storm was on his high school team but I knew that Skyler didn't join any team sports in high school, instead he did his own thing.
We started the game and I just realized how good Skyler was when he ran up to Bryce and stole the ball. He did it so fast I had trouble noticing it at first.
Skyler was good at blocking; he somehow managed to always imitate Bryce's moves and anticipate his next one, stealing the ball swiftly with one deft swipe of his arm. Then he would either spin around really fast or do some fancy thing under his leg and make a basket. And somehow he always knew where Storm was and could pass without looking in his brother's direction. It must have been some sort of twin thing where one always knew the location of the other. That's the only way I could explain it.
He reacted fast too; if I passed the ball to Bryce and vice versa, Skyler was able to switch gears and change directions like that! Then he would be on us like flies on shit.
I could tell Bryce was getting frustrated; he really hated to lose.
Bryce groaned when Storm made a clean shot.
"You guys are done for," Skyler said grinning, "There's no way you can catch up now. All we need is one more and we win."
Bryce glared at Skyler.
Skyler smiled innocently, "That's right; you guys might as well just give it up. We're young and fit and you two are a couple of old guys," he teased. He turned to Storm and pretended to limp. "I broke my hip!" he cried out mockingly.
"Stupid punks," Bryce muttered to me and I just smiled at him.
"Come on, let's just finish this," I said to the twins.
As Skyler predicted, they easily won. After all, it only took about five seconds for them to make their next basket and even then Skyler was showing off, bouncing the ball under his legs, doing creative turns. I swear Skyler was secretly a black basketball player under his Asian exterior. What the fuck?
Storm and Skyler jumped around, whooping their victory and I couldn't help smiling. Storm was usually serious but whenever he was with Skyler he was either immature or more of an asshole, but in a good way. It was like being with his twin made him more childish and I appreciated that kind of closeness and bond since I was an only child myself. Well at least for now.
Bryce ran his hand through his hair looking annoyed.
"Where did you learn to play basketball like that?" I asked Skyler.
"Shit, you're like a much shorter version of Yao Ming," Bryce added wiping the sweat off his brow.
Storm chuckled at the comment.
"Hey, I just got skills," Skyler said smugly.
"Yeah, Sky is really good. I remember our high school coach used to beg Skyler to play, but he always refused," Storm said.
"Why?" Bryce asked.
Skyler shrugged, "I didn't care much for those sports. I mean I was good enough to play, but my heart really wasn't in it. I'd rather be off snowboarding or skating or something like that."
"Yeah no shit," Storm said shooting his twin a look, "Remember sophomore year you took Mom's car and drove all the way to Pennsylvania to go snowboarding?"
Skyler laughed at the memory, "Oh yeah and that was before I got my license. She was mad pissed," he shook his head, "Good times."
"Bryce did you play in high school?" Storm asked, "You're pretty good."
Bryce nodded, "Yeah I did. It's one of my favorite sports."
Storm nodded, "I hear ya."
"Alright guys, enough chatting, let's go eat," Skyler announced, "Let's go to White Castle since it's so close and it's cheap enough where I can get a lot of food. Don't wanna run you guys broke, LOSERS!" and then he ran off to his car.
Storm looked after his brother and then back at me and smiled. "Meet you guys there?" he asked as he started to head to Skyler's car.
"Yeah," I said nodding and Storm went after his twin.
I turned to Bryce who was pouting at his loss.
"Come on baby, don't be a baby," I teased squeezing his hand.
"I hate losing," Bryce whined.
I laughed, "Well I had fun, did you have fun?"
He nodded.
"Well then that's all that matters, especially in our old age," I mocked.
Bryce rolled his eyes, "I'm not that old."
I smiled, "It doesn't matter how old you are, as long as you stay hot," I said pecking him on the lips.
He pushed me away. "Oh yeah, so if I get old and ugly, you won't be with me?"
I reached for him and pulled him close, "I love you Bryce. God, I love you so much. I don't care about anything; your age or looks, as long as I have you and you love me back," I said nibbling on his ear and I felt Bryce relax against me and wrap his arms around my lower back.
"Hela, I love you, too," he whispered and I forced myself to pull away.
"Come on, lets' meet the twins, you know how Skyler gets when he's hungry. Plus the sooner we eat, the sooner we can go home and have our own fun," I said suggestively and Bryce grinned.
I tugged him towards my car, but once inside my car away from people watching, I kissed him, slipping my tongue inside his mouth immediately which was easy since he wasn't expecting my kiss.
Our tongues wrapped around each other's for awhile and I kept leaning forward to deepen the kiss.
We broke apart when my elbow accidentally knocked into the horn and a loud blast followed.
We burst out laughing.
"Drive," Bryce said as we continued to laugh.
Crew's point of view
It was amazing how fast this summer was being eaten up and it made me sad. I loved summer and wanted it to last as long as possible. At the same time I was excited for senior year and looking forward to being finishing with reading endless history books and going to a bunch of science classes. However, I didn't want school to end because I knew that all my friends would be going in different directions and I wasn't ready to be parted from my second family. I needed them.
I was constantly feeling either extremely elated or thoughtfully melancholy; yeah I was a big contradiction.
Thinking of contradictions got me mulling over a song by Green Day, A walking Contradiction.
Hiro squeezed my side and I looked up at him.
"What are you thinking about?"
I smiled, "This Green Day song."
He looked at me with amusement. "That's kind of a random thought when you're at a party."
I nodded in agreement. "My mind is all over the place."
I looked around the twin's apartment and even though they claimed it wasn't going to be very many people, the twins were popular and it seemed as if more and more people were showing up to celebrate their 21st.
This party was like all of their parties; loud, lively, except there was less alcohol and absolutely no pot around, which was odd for the twins.
Skyler wasn't his usual party animal self either. He was talking and laughing with a large group, which was normal for him, but he was holding Zeke to him and completely sober, not knocking back shots or whole bottles of hard liquor.
I guess he really was growing up or Mrs. Chin had been right and Zeke just had this amazing influence over him.
It seemed like Skyler didn't want to let Zeke out of his sight and the same went for Zeke.
Suddenly some guy with spiked, bleached blond hair, really tight jeans and shirt stumbled up to me and Hiro, obviously drunk.
"Hey you," he slurred to me, practically falling over his own feet. He held out a cup to me. "What to have a drink with me beautiful?" he asked, his eyes looking bleary and red. He blinked at me a few times and tried to lean in close.
Hiro put a hand on his chest, nudging him away from me and took the cup from his hands.
"No, he doesn't want to drink and it looks like you've had enough," Hiro said calmly.
"Why don't you let him answer for himself?" the guy asked giggling trying to get to me again.
This time Hiro stepped in front of me, blocking any possible contact.
Hiro just shook his head and handed the guy back his cup, which the guy snatched and stumbled away uncoordinatedly.
I rubbed my face into Hiro's back and he turned around, wrapping an arm around me.
I grinned up at him. "Wow, Hiro, I should keep you around with me all the time. You're like my personal bodyguard."
Hiro looked at me and kissed my nose. "Just looking out for you baby," he replied, "Who knows what that guy put in that drink?"
I rested my head against his chest and looked around the room at the mass of people talking, dancing, some drinking.
Hiro and I had only been here for a short while and we did little more than greet the twins and wish them a happy birthday.
I didn't drink and neither did Hiro so we just walked around, chatting a little, and then eventually claimed a spot near the wall.
We weren't exactly party people.
I tugged on his shirt and he looked down at me.
"Want to get out of here?" I asked.
"Bored?"
"No, well a little. I'm not much of a party person and I really don't know a lot of people here," I admitted.
Hiro smiled. "Sure, we can leave."
We walked over to the twins and said our goodbyes and they were engrossed in conversations and sort of waved us off.
"Where do you want to go?" he asked since it was around 10:30.
"Want to go to the diner with me?" I asked him, "I'm not ready to go home and I'm kind of hungry."
"Sure."
It turns out I was hungrier than I thought. Once we got to the diner and were sat, I ordered a bacon cheeseburger deluxe with curly fries and a side of onion rings. I was feeling sort of like Skyler when while I was eating my food I was already contemplating a dessert.
Currently that large chocolate cake was calling out to me and I had trouble tearing my eyes away from it. Mmm, chocolate.
Hiro got a salad so I wouldn't have to eat alone.
I popped a fry into my mouth and looked at him. "So what are your plans after we graduate?" I asked.
He looked at me. "Probably look for a job or maybe Grad school. I haven't made up my mind yet."
"Grad school?"
"Yeah, maybe I could get a Masters in education and teach German in high school. I like kids and helping people learn."
I nodded. "You would be a great teacher."
"Thanks."
I looked down at my plate. "Well if you do decide to go to grad school, where will you apply to?"
Hiro carefully looked at me. "Well, originally I was researching schools in Colorado, but now I'm thinking of staying a little closer," he replied staring me intently in the eye.
I smiled and looked away.
"Then you'll still be living with your grandma?"
"Absolutely, I couldn't leave the two people I love most," he said.
I blushed. "Good," I murmured. Hiro grabbed my hand and rubbed it gently.
"What are your plans?"
"Well I double majored and I could get my Masters to be a history teacher but I want to see what else is out there. I'm thinking of working with the twin's mom at one of her gyms as a trainer or something," I said staring into space. "Or I could just apply around randomly and work my way up from something entry level."
Hiro nodded. "Sounds like a good plan."
"And I plan for us to still be together," I said quietly, glancing at him.
Hiro smiled and tightened his hand on mine. "I love you Crew. We will always be together."
Bryce's point of view
I glanced around the large room Mr. McAdams had rented out for the rehearsal dinner Helaku and I were currently at.
It was large and decorated nicely and full of nicely dressed people.
All my attention however, was focused on Helaku.
Helaku always looked so stunning and although I was a little biased, ok maybe a lot biased, I'm sure others in this room would agree with me on how hot my boyfriend looked.
His dark brown hair had been cut recently and it was a medium length. The dark color really brought out his green eyes which I could notice from across the room where he was talking to his father.
He noticed my stare and smiled at me widely, showing his teeth and that adorable gap I liked so much.
Ever since that first dinner with Helaku's Dad and future step mother, he and I had gotten together with them on numerous occasions. Sometimes it was for meals or other times it was to accompany them on the wedding planning and whatever. It was fun and slowly Helaku was liking Sheryl more and more. She was really funny and loved to talk. And she had this commanding mother like presence. She would make a wonderful mother.
I found out when I was looking at wedding cakes with Sheryl that she was half Portugese and half Spanish and she had grown up in Spain until she went to the states for college. That would explain her exotic beauty.
And she had a huge family. They occupied practically one side of the room and I noticed a lot of the men were really good looking. The hot latin thing. I know I was taken, but hey, I still had eyes!
As my eyes were scanning her family, I saw one of Sheryl's relatives, he was young, maybe a nephew or cousin, was staring at something intently and then I watched as his eyes followed that something and then it rested on me.
I felt a tap on my arm and stared into very beautiful and familiar green eyes.
"Hey baby," he greeted me taking a seat and pulling me down at the table.
I glanced over at the young guy and saw him staring at the both of us.
"What are you looking at?" Helaku asked turning around and following my gaze.
He waved to the young Spanish guy.
"You know him?" I asked frowning.
Helaku turned back to me smiling, "Yeah, Sheryl introduced me to her entire family. His name is Diego and he's into art. He said he wanted to show me some of his pieces. Nice kid. Yo, Sheryl, she has a huge family!" he said laughing.
"He can't take his eyes off of you," I said frowning and Helaku turned to me smiling.
"Well can you blame him?" he asked me grinning smugly.
When I didn't say anything, Helaku pulled me into a chair beside him and took my hand, massaging it under the table.
"Don't be jealous Bryce," he murmured near my ear, causing me to shudder, "He can look at me all he wants, but I'll be going home with you tonight, and I'll be sleeping in your bed tonight, and every night for that matter."
I smiled at him gratefully, but then shot a dirty look at Diego.
"Well, I still can't help being jealous," I muttered childishly and Helaku laughed.
"Well, I guess I would be jealous too if some hot guy was eyeing you," he said.
I raised my brow. "Hot guy?"
"Ugly guy," he corrected smiling charmingly at me and I just stared at him.
I couldn't stay annoyed for too long though, especially when he brought my hand on top of the table and kissed it.
Helaku stared into my eyes. "You're the hottest guy in this room," he whispered winking. "I can't wait to go home," he said smiling suggestively and licking his lips.
I blushed.
I felt his hand slide up my thigh and I felt myself breaking into a sweat.
Thankfully, Helaku's dad walked up to us and my boyfriend stopped groping me in a room full of people.
"Hey guys," Mr. McAdams said smiling broadly at the two of us.
"Hey Dad."
"Did you have a chance to meet Sheryl's family?" he asked.
We both nodded.
Moments later Sheryl came up to our table and clutched Mr. McAdam's arm.
"Hey boys," she said smiling at us, showing her white teeth.
"You look beautiful," I commented to her and she cocked her head in a thanks.
Sheryl was also growing, her bump was more pronounced, but not overly big. She wasn't one of those women to get large during pregnancy; instead she was one of those cute ladies who had a large bump and a glowing face.
After chatting for a bit, they both took off.
I glanced over at Diego, who was still eyeing Helaku.
I took Helaku's hand and clasped it possessively in both of mine, staring hard at Diego.
Helaku, knowing that I was feeling miffed by Diego's blatant staring, nudged his chair closer to mine and looked directly at my profile, kissing my cheek.
"I love you," he said caressing my neck. "Stop staring at him. You're letting him get to you, baby. Let him look, it's all he's gonna get. May as well let him enjoy it."
I laughed and decided to go with Helaku's advice.
I looked back at Diego and smiled and waved at him. Finally, he looked away as if he had been caught.
"I love you, too," I said turning back to Helaku.
Crew's point of view
"I love the beach," Zeke said sighing as he rested on his towel next to me.
"I know," I said, "How come you guys don't wanna move to Santa Barbara after graduation? That's closer to the beach than San Francisco."
"Yeah, but we need to be in an area where we can have a job and stuff," Zeke reminded.
"Oh, true," I said.
We were silent for a bit.
"I don't want summer to end," Zeke said quietly.
"I know Z," I replied, "Me neither. Things are just so perfect now and I don't want them to change."
"Exactly."
I knew why Zeke was slightly bummed, it was the middle of August and we both knew how fast the rest of the month would come and then September we were all off back to school. I knew it was especially hard for him because unlike the rest of us, he had to go to Boston and be away from Skyler.
"Zeke, just don't think about it and have fun now, ok?" I tried to cheer up my friend.
Zeke sighed deeply in response.
I heard loud laughter and I knew that the twins were approaching us.
"Zeke, come in the water," Skyler insisted and I opened my eyes to see Skyler physically pulling on Zeke's arm like a child.
"Okay, I will, but you need more sun block," Zeke said.
Skyler looked at himself. "Why, am I turning red already?" he asked worriedly, "Shit, we've only been here for about two hours."
Storm just chucked a bottle of sun block at his brother after slathering some on himself.
"I hate being so pale. I have to apply so much every hour," Skyler grumbled, "And I still end up getting burnt. What is up with my skin?"
Zeke laughed and poured some sun block onto his own hands and then proceeded to do Skyler's back.
"Well as long as Zeke's doing my backside, I'm good," Skyler said grinning.
I rolled my eyes while the others laughed.
I felt cold arms wrap around me and looked up to see Hiro.
He kissed my nose and I tasted the salt water that dripped down to my lips.
"Hey Hiro, you're just as pale, if not paler than us, how come you never burn?" Storm asked.
Hiro shrugged, "I don't know. I use sun block also, but I never burn. Sometimes a light tan but never a burn."
"Lucky bastard," Skyler said as he was turned even whiter from all the sun block being applied to his body.
"Every summer we turn into lobsters," Storm said and I laughed.
"The lobster twins," I teased making claw movements with my hands and Storm slapped my hand jokingly.
"Shut up," Skyler said, "Do you know how ugly I get with sunburn? It just messes up my entire look."
Storm rolled his eyes at his twin's vanity.
"Ok, all done," Zeke said standing up and throwing the bottle in Storm's bag.
Skyler joined him and were about to head towards the water when a group of girls walked by.
I was surprised to see anyone; we were in a pretty secluded area, but they must have been walking far to reach us.
They were an attractive bunch, around our age, maybe a little younger. There were three blonds and one brunette and they looked in our direction as they passed.
The two blonds waved at Skyler and Storm, flashing me and Zeke smiles as well, while the brunette girl smiled at Hiro.
Skyler waved back, grinning widely and the girls giggled. I saw Hiro lift his hand and wave in a friendly manner and the brunette smiled in return.
I admit I felt a small tinge of jealously. Even though I had nothing to worry about, I still didn't like people ogling Hiro. Stupid girl.
I acted impulsively before the girls got any closer.
I grabbed Hiro's face and kissed him on his mouth. I heard all the girls gasp in shock, but I still felt Hiro circle his arms around me, opening his mouth to my tongue.
I pulled away from him and for once he didn't look so composed. His eyes had a dazed look and he was staring at me.
"I like how you're thinking Crew," I heard Zeke say and I turned around just as Zeke grabbed Skyler by the waist and kissed him too. He kissed him so hard and deeply that Skyler lost his balance and fell backwards into the sand, taking Zeke with him. They fell and sand flew up slightly, but they didn't break the kiss. Skyler really got into the kiss, rubbing his hands up and down Zeke's back and then rolling over so he was on top doing the kissing.
"Oh man," Storm groaned turning away.
I looked at the group of girls and noticed how shocked they were; too frozen to even move. They just gawked at us.
"Ohmigod!" one of them whispered.
I smiled at her and hugged Hiro to me. I felt Hiro lips on my neck and I sighed.
Skyler and Zeke were still going at it and finally the girls nudged one another and left, still turning to look at us every once in awhile.
"Wow," Skyler breathed out and Zeke just looked flushed.
"Nice," I told Zeke.
"Stupid girls," Zeke muttered taking Skyler's hand in his possessively and Skyler suddenly stood up and pulled Zeke to his feet, wrapping an arm around his shoulders.
"Yeah, stupid girls," I said and Hiro kissed me. I looked at him and he was smiling.
"I love you Crew," he said, "I don't care for girls."
I blushed knowing he had caught me in my jealously.
"Still," I pouted childishly.
Hiro laughed softly. "It's ok baby. You did me a favor. I wouldn't have known what to do if she started hitting on me. And I enjoyed your kiss very much."
"Let's go swimming," Skyler said kissing Zeke's cheek and tugged him along. "We can have some naughty fun in the ocean," he teased.
"I don't want to go swimming anymore," Storm announced and we laughed.
Storm stood up, "I'm gonna get some donuts and maybe a slurpee. And find those girls. They were hot! Too bad they probably think I'm gay now after being with you guys."
I smiled at him, "Sorry man."
Storm shrugged, "No worries, I'll find more girls," he said confidently and I laughed as he walked towards the boardwalk.
I felt Hiro pull me into his body for a hug and then he laid himself on top of me as he kissed me. He urged my mouth open and we kissed deeply, our tongues fighting their way into one another's mouths. Our kisses were more erotic and intense than usual. Maybe it was being in public that was doing it for us, but I was getting really worked up and I could tell Hiro was as well.
His fingers were sliding up and down my stomach and I couldn't help moving my hands into his trunks.
Hiro moaned and ground his hips into mine, our cocks grinding.
I broke away and panted while Hiro kissed my neck.
"Oh shit," I muttered, "I was never keen on having sex in public, but I don't know if I can stop."
I felt Hiro sit up and he was breathing hard and his cheeks were red but not from the sun. He pulled me into a sitting position so our hardness wasn't so obvious in case anyone were to walk by.
I saw Skyler and Zeke splashing in the water and ducking under the waves, washing up on the shore laughing wildly.
"I wanna go home," I said looking at Hiro meaningfully.
He glanced at me. "Oh man Crew, me too, you have no idea."
"I think we should go into the water," I said.
Hiro nodded, "Good idea." He took my hand and we ran into the water and jumped head first into a large wave.
I felt my body being thrown backwards and I felt some scraping on my back from the shells.
I sputtered and wiped my face and then just ran back into the water as I saw another wave approaching. I felt a hand close over mine and I looked at Hiro as he edged closer to me.
I saw Skyler holding Zeke on his shoulders as the wave came and as the wave hit, Zeke toppled over, but I didn't have much time to observe because Hiro and I both ducked under the water as the large wave hit us.
Along the way Hiro had hugged me to his body and when the wave passed we were bobbing in the water, our bodies melded together.
I felt our bodies floating as Hiro held me, looking directly into my eyes.
We were in one of our moments.
Hiro pulled me under just as another wave came and we went down together.
