When Nothing Goes Right
Chapter 10
"I don't fuckin' believe this." Zander said walking straight up to Kyle as he stood up from the bed.
"Hey, Zander! Isn't this funny? We're all in here together. We should hangout like this more often...make new memories." I giggled
"Is he drunk?" Zander asked Kyle angrily, looking at me.
"I only had a little....maybe one or five......you know I actually don't remember how many." I said in my drunken slur as I laid down, my head had started to really spin.
"Zander calm down, he'll be okay." Kyle said with his usual smirk.
"I can't believe you got him drunk like this. What were you planning to do with him, take advantage of him like you did me?" Zander said getting red and even more pissed.
"Hey, I didn't get him drunk, I only gave him the first beer, and he did the rest himself." Kyle said defensively.
"That's not the point, you're supposed to watch out for him. He's not the party type, Kyle." Zander snapped.
I sat up and tried to stand, "I am too a party person, I'm a party animal." I swayed again, everything was spinning and I fell to the floor.
"Skyler!" Zander said going to the floor to help me.
"I really don't feel too good." I said feeling nauseated.
"Ok Sky, I'm taking you home." Zander stated firmly.
"Zander, he's with me tonight, so thanks for the offer, but I got this under control." Kyle said.
"Oh yeah, I bet you do." Zander said really sarcastically giving him a final look before turning to me and softly said, "Come on Sky, help me get you to the car."
Zander put my arm around his neck and helped me up. I completely leaned against him and it was a wonder how Zander could support me though visibly it was a struggle as he slowly helped me out the room, down the stair, and out the front door. Kyle followed us the whole way arguing with Zander about who was responsible for me. I was getting drowsy and it was hard to pay attention to who said what. Everything just seemed to blur together.
Zander walked me to his car and sat me in the front seat, he closed the door and then turned to finish his argument with Kyle, while I just closed my eyes to rest my spinning head.
"Look Kyle, back off okay." Zander snapped very agitated.
"So, what now you care about him, after the way you treated him before, he told me all about how much of an ass you were to him." Kyle said with a sneer, trying to get under Zander's skin.
"You don't win any awards on kindness to others yourself." Zander said getting red from anger.
"Look, tonight was supposed to be me and Skyler...not you. So I don't know where you get off trying to play the hero, when no one needs to be saved. He seriously isn't your responsibility. What's it to you what happens to him anyway." Kyle said trying to get his point across in seriousness.
"What happens to him is everything to me. It may have taken me awhile to realize it, but I love him and I'm not going to let you screw him over like you did to me. He's emotionally fragile, and he needs someone who will actually be there for him no matter what, and not pretend just to get into his pants. I may have gotten over what you did to me but he wouldn't be able to. I know that I haven't been perfect, but I'm going to spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to him in whatever way I need to. I didn't deserve what you did to me and Sky sure as hell doesn't deserve it, he's mine so back off." Zander finished his ranting.
Kyle started to frown as Zander turned around and walked around the driver's side. He got into the car and drove off, leaving Kyle standing there.
"How are you feeling Sky?" Zander asked putting a hand on my forehead.
"Not good man, my ma is gonna freak if she sees me like this." I said with my eyes still closed.
"I'll take you to my place and you can crash there." Zander said.
There was silence for awhile as Zander kept his focus on the road and I kept my eyes closed trying to stop my head from spinning. After awhile I looked out the window as we turned onto a familiar street and Zander's house came into view. I turned away from the window and stared at Zander as he drove. He didn't take any notice of me watching him.
"Zander?" I said trying to get his attention.
"Yes Sky?" Zander asked pulling into the gated driveway and parking in his usual spot.
I was silent a few moments as I tried to put the words in my head in a sensible order that would make sense, which was very hard in the condition I was in.
"I really do love you, I love you soo much and I'm sorry...I know you have a problem with it, but it's just how I feel." I said my words were still a little slurred.
Zander had turned off the engine. When I finished he turned to face me and suddenly my stomach was starting to rise, I'm pretty sure from nervousness of what I just said to him.
"Shh, I know Sky, I know. I wanted to talk to you about something.... You really have nothing to apologize for. All you did say how you feel, I'm sorry...about how I've been reacting to it. I realized something though; I can't keep denying my feeling for you and force them to go away, because no matter how hard I try they won't. I know I'm in love with you too Sky. The thing is I'm just so scared of being hurt again, but I know I can't live my whole life being scared. I have to take some chances and I'm willing too, if you're still interested. I wanna spend the rest of my life with you Sky. I'm really starting to picture that and I can't picture it any other way or with anyone else but you.... Sky.....Sky... oh god Sky, open the door...."
Too late, I learned forward and threw up all over my clothes and the car, it felt like I was never going to stop as it went on and on, then everything went black. ********************************************************************* ***************************************
I woke up with a major headache, and it hurt to open my eyes to let the light in so I threw the covers over my head to keep me in darkness. As I took a deep breath, I took in a scent that was unfamiliar to me but pleasant. The comforter and sheets felt softer than my usual ones. This was definitely not my bed.
I was really confused as I threw the covers off my face, immediately regretting the sudden movement I made because the sudden light made my head pound. I tried to look around my surroundings to figure out where I was. It seemed familiar but I couldn't seem to focus and concentrate my mind to put things together in my head.
I looked down at my body under the covers and found myself completely nude. I suddenly got scared in my confused state of mind. Where was I? Where the hell did my clothes go? Why couldn't I remember what happened last night? I
I was starting to panic when I saw the door open until Zander walked through it with a smile on his face and a cup in his hands. Finally I was able to recognize that I was in his room, but still couldn't remember how I got there. The only thing I could remember was being at the party with Kyle. Where the hell did he go?
Zander handed me the cup. I couldn't tell what was in it, it was thick and had a disgusting color. "How do you feel?" he asked as he wheeled over his desk chair to the bed to sit down.
"Like crap." I said still confused. I didn't really know how to act around him because last time I remembered; we weren't exactly on good terms. But then how come I'm naked in his bed.
"Go ahead and drink it, I promise I didn't poison it or anything." he smiled at me as he was studying my confused facial expressions.
I hesitated before I took a drink and immediately started to cough and hack from the taste; it was as disgusting as it looked. Zander just started laughing at me as I tried to recover and I gave him back the cup not wanting any more of it.
"What the hell is that?" I asked trying to get over the after taste in my mouth.
"An old family recipe that helps with headaches and hangovers, nasty huh?" he replied wiggling his eyebrows at me in a very cute way.
"Um, where are my clothes?" I asked starting to blush and get really uncomfortable.
"Well, you sort of threw up all over them and in my car, so I had to wash them, I would have kept your boxers on but you sort of had an accident in them." He said still smiling amused. "You're a really bad drunk." He laughed.
"Oh God, I'm so sorry, man. I ...this is really embarrassing. I hope I didn't ruin your car. Did I really pee my pants?" I said pulling the covers over my head feeling miserable at how much I embarrassed myself in front of Zander of all people.
"You don't remember anything do you?" he asked with the same smile. "You were so drunk."
"Oh I'm never drinking again."
We sat there in silence not really knowing what to say. Then it became sort of uncomfortable.
"So you really don't remember what happened last night?" he asked me in a more serious tone.
I thought about it hard, really trying to remember. I started to remember bits and pieces of things all the way up until I threw up in Zander's car, but after that I blanked out and I told this to him.
"Oh, well you were really gone. It took me forever to get you up to my room." Zander said not taking his eyes off me.
"I'm really sorry that I put you through so much last night." I said sort of afraid to look him in the eye.
"Don't worry about it, it was cool, I didn't mind it at all. It was sort of nice being able to take care of you." Zander said looking at me in a sort of gaze.
I stared back at him for a little while and then finally I caught myself and replied.
"So about you and me....um I've realized now that I was stupid and being selfish. What you did for me last night says a lot about the kind of person you are. So I just want you to know that if you still want friendship with me, I'll be willing to take whatever you're comfortable with. I'm still into you a lot but if friendship is all you're ready for then I'll take what I can get." I said sitting up in the bed with my back against the headboard.
Zander continued to look at me before he crawled into his bed with me underneath the covers, then climbed on top of me and kissed me full on pressing his whole body firmly against mine. I moaned into the kiss getting totally lost in the sensation that was going through me.
Zander broke the kiss to lay his head down on my chest and I wrapped my arms around him a little confused but feeling great at the same time.
"You know you make it hard to just be your friend." I told him hugging him to me tighter as if afraid he was going to come to his senses and realize what he was doing.
"You probably don't remember this, but last night I tried to tell you something." He said running his hand over my chest, sending chills all through my body and I was suddenly aware that I was still naked and Zander was completely on top of me. He could definitely tell how excited I was at the moment.
"Really and what was that." I said between heavy breaths.
"That I'm in love with you and even though that makes me scared I want to give you a try. I'm taking one more chance on love, so don't break my heart okay." He said looking up at me.
Suddenly I had flashbacks to all the dreams I've had about Zander and I knew right then that maybe finally my dreams were coming true.
"I would never do that intentionally, I'm in love with you too, and this whole love thing is a new experience for me. I really didn't think it could happen this fast and in this unlikely situation." I said to him hugging him even tighter to me.
"Love is full of surprises I guess." He said giving me another small kiss on the lips then settling down on my chest were we both fell back asleep in that position.
Kyle was pissed off and extremely jealous from what Zander had told him last night about his feelings for Skyler. He knew Skyler felt the same for Zander and that in no time they would be together. This was bad for him because it would mean his love interest would be unavailable. Well, actually he wasn't sure if it was really love because he didn't believe in love with guys, just sex. But for some reason this guy was different and as he learned more about him, the more he wanted to spend time with him. He never felt this way about any guy before, so that was really saying something.
He was taking out all his frustration and aggressiveness on working out at his home gym. The doctor told him that this was a better way to do that than burning rooms down. As he aggressively worked his body out with sweat dripping down, a thought occurred to him. He'd just bind his time, he'd become best friends with Skyler which would be tough because Zander would be very cautious about it, but eventually Sky would get him used to the idea and it he will be in a false security and when he'd least expect it, he would make his move and everything would workout for him. Sure it meant someone would get hurt in the process but they'd get over it sooner or later. His needs were more important than anyone else's. He'd have him all to himself.
I woke up to the sound of my cell phone ringing. My headache wasn't as bad any more and I had a bad taste in my mouth. I know I probably smelled too. When I look down though, Zander was still sleeping peacefully on my chest. I smiled as I felt him drool a little and he had the cutest little snore.
I got lost in this feeling of completeness and temporarily forgot what had woken me up in the first place until I heard my phone beeping alerting me to a voicemail. A thought popped into my head that it was probably my mom worried about me, either worried or very pissed off that I wasn't home. I reluctantly sat up waking Zander up in the process.
"Huh, what happened?" Zander said groggily.
"I think I need to go home." I said sadly
"Why? Are you having second thoughts about us?" Zander said suddenly awake.
"No it's not that. It's just my mom was expecting me home last night and I haven't checked in with her or anything." I said to him.
"Oh, well why don't you call her and tell her your spending the day with me, she'd let you right?" Zander asked me, as he lay his head back down on a pillow facing me as I was leaned back against the headboard.
"I don't know she might be pissed, but I'll try. Could you hand me my cell?" I asked him.
"You can get it." Zander smiled as he turned onto his back.
I smiled back at him as I leaned over him to reach the night stand on his side of the bed where my cell was located. He wrapped his arms around me to keep me there a second as we looked into each others eyes and smiled. I wanted to lean down and kiss him, but was self conscious about what I'd taste like right now so I reached for my phone and rolled off of him.
Zander sat up in the bed with me and got closer to me as I dialed the number for home. I as waiting nervously as my phone rang hoping that my mom wasn't too pissed off at me staying out all night. The phone picked up.
"Hello?" my dad answered in his Spanish accent.
"Hey pa, it's me." I said.
"Oh, Joel! Out all night huh?" he asked with a smirk I could hear through the phone.
"Yeah I'm sorry, it was an accident, is ma really mad?"
"Its ok mijo, she'll get over it. So tell me, who's the lucky girl. Pretty is she?" he asked with excitement.
I blushed as I turned to look over at Zander who was watching me the whole time.
"I guess you can say that. Dad listen, I'm gonna hangout with a friend today okay, I'll be home later. Is that alright?" I asked.
"Sure, go on and hang with your lady friend, make me proud mijo, and don't worry I'll take care of your ma." He said.
"Thanks pa." I said smiling.
"Bye Joel." He said hanging up.
I put my phone down and looked over at Zander. He put his arm around my waist and his head on my shoulder.
"So I am your pretty lady friend?" Zander asked.
"Oh you could hear him?" I laughed as I leaned my head down on his.
"Yeah, your phone is a little loud." He said putting his other arm around me as we both slid down on his bed, Zander using my chest as a pillow. I smiled loving this feeling that I felt at the moment.
"Well I do think you're pretty." I said as we both laughed.
"Who is Joel?" he asked curiously.
"Oh, that's my middle name. When I was born my parents fought over what to name me. Skyler isn't really a Hispanic name, but it was my mom's favorite name, she's white. Anyways my mom always gets her way but they compromised and my dad got to name me Joel as my middle name, which is basically the only name he uses for me." I said smiling.
"Wow, that's interesting. So which name do you like better?"
"I don't know, I guess I like them both. They're both apart of who I am, you know being mixed and everything." I said to him.
"Well what name do you want me to call you." He asked.
"Hmm...let me think about that." I said pretending to be in deep thought. "Baby sounds nice to me." I said laughing.
Zander started laughing too. "Okay 'Baby', I think it's time for you to take a shower, no offense but you smell ha, ha."
"Sure thing....but um...you have a robe or something?" I asked blushing and getting self conscious again.
"What's the matter nervous of me seeing you naked? You're a little too late for that, there's nothing on you inside or out that I haven't seen since last night." Zander said making me blush even deeper.
"Well it's not you, I just have a problem being naked in general." I said not looking him in the eyes.
"Okay, babe. I'll lend you my robe."
I showered in his bathroom and brushed my teeth with the extra toothbrush he provided for me. The whole time he waited in his room which I was grateful for and appreciated because even though we were together now, I was still new at this whole thing and needed time to adjust.
"Angie, calm down girl, please." Zander said as he spoke quietly on the phone.
"I'm just happy that you two finally had sense enough to stop being so stupid in the head." Angie said excitedly
"Yeah me too." Zander smiled.
"So is he there with you right now?" she asked curiously.
"Yeah he's in the shower though and he's gonna come out any minute so I gotta go. Talk to you later." Zander said as he hung up the phone.
"That was Angie on the phone?" I asked coming out of the bathroom wearing only a towel and feeling much cleaner.
Zander jumped not hearing me come out the bathroom and was staring at me everywhere but my face. "Um yeah."
"I take it she knows the good news then" I said smiling at him as I watched him blush.
He was so cute to me, I couldn't believe that he was finally mine. I walked over to him staring into his deep blue eyes the whole time as he stared into mine. When I got over to him I hesitated a little not really sure of myself. He smiled know exactly what was going on with me.
"It's okay Sky," he told me, grabbing my hand and pulling me closer, "You're allowed to touch me whenever you want, I'm all yours."
I smiled as I let go of his hand and put my arms around his waist pulling his smaller body into my bigger one. He smiled as I leaned down slightly to give him a quick kiss.
"I know I'm just getting used to it you know." I said looking into those blue eyes again.
Zander leaned up and gave me another kiss.
"I know." He said smiling.
"This is all very new to me, you're my first boyfriend.....my first anything really." I told him, kissing him again this time a little more passionately.
When I ended the kiss, Zander looked at me with his eyes glazed over a little.
"I hope to be your first and only." He told me.
"I'd love for you to be mine forever Zander." I said hugging him closer to me.
We stood like that for awhile before a thought crossed my mind.
"Zan?" I said pulling back to look at him.
"Yes babe?" he asked me curiously.
"Um... you think I can have my clothes back now." I said looking down at my towel.
"Oh yeah, they should be done now, let me get them." Zander said letting me go to turn around to the door.
When his back was turned I pulled him into me again and he laughed as he leaned his head back against my chest.
"Babe, I can't get you your clothes if you don't let go." He chuckled.
"Yeah I know, I just missed holding you." I laughed back at him.
"Awe, that's sweet...now let go." He said breaking out of my arms turning around to wink at me before leaving through the door.
Angie came over and teased us the whole time. She thought we were cute together though. We hung around the house, me and Zander smiling and staring at each other, being flirty.
I have to admit that I was nervous being affectionate to Zander with someone else there. Sometimes Zander would lean into me and I would look at Angie and move away a little, smiling politely hoping that Zander wouldn't take offense. I knew Angie wouldn't mind, but it was like a reflex and I couldn't help myself. Zander noticed what was going on with me but he didn't make a big deal out of it. I was hoping he understood.
Later we all sat down in the entertainment room and watched some movies. Zander leaned into me giving me a look that said it would be okay, I didn't want to disappoint him with all my awkwardness so I forced myself to get over being uncomfortable which I did after a few minutes.
After the movie finished Angie announced that she was going home and after I said bye to her, Zander walked her out the door. I laid out on the couch and closed my eyes to smile at myself for a few minutes until I felt someone climbing over me and giving me a kiss. Zander then got into a comfortable position laying down on top of me. The back of his head was on my chest and my arm around him, holding him close to me. His eyes were closed and I was staring down at him, once again feeling great to be with him. I hugged him to me tighter. I loved the way he smelled.
"I love you, you know that?" Zander said with his eyes closed.
"Yeah I know. I love you too." I said. "Promise me something?" Zander opened his eyes to look at me.
"What is it?" he asked me.
"Promise me that you'll never leave me. That you'll always be here so that I'm never alone again."
Zander just looked up at me for a second before he turned over on his stomach, on top of me, and leaned up to kiss me again.
"You'll always have me as long as you never hurt me." He said to me seriously.
"I would never hurt you, you know that." I said almost hurt that he would even think that I would hurt him.
He stayed quiet for awhile, just staring into my eyes, taking my breath away as I stared back into his blue ones. He always could put butterflies in my stomach with just a look.
"I trust you Sky," he said lying back down with his head on my chest, as I ran my hand through his hair.
We stayed like that for awhile, just enjoying each other's company
"You have to talk to me, Sky." He said to me after a few minutes.
"What? I asked confused.
Zander suddenly sat up and looked at me his dreamy look became very serious.
"Talk to me, I mean I want you to be honest with how you feel about certain things. I don't want you to keep things to yourself about anything that I do that makes you uncomfortable or whatever okay."
"I understand," I said as we leaned in and kissed, "you want to know something funny?" I asked him as he smiled and nodded. "I had this dream of us exactly like this, talking about pretty much the same thing, a bunch of times, it's weird it's like deja`vu, but I'm really glad this dream came true." I told him.
"I'm glad too." He replied.
I put my hand on his face and gazed into his beautiful face as he leaned in and our mouths met. I really could get used to this. We were really getting into it and somehow we had managed to become shirtless in the process. That's about when we heard arguing coming from the door that led to the garage, but we had separated too late and suddenly Zander's parents stopped their fighting, surprised at what they just walked in on.
I suddenly turned red really embarrassed lowering my eyes to the ground. While Zander just looked embarrassed as he stared at his parents.
"Mom, Dad! I guess we should explain."
This would only happen to me I thought to myself as we thought of how to explain ourselves.
