Nineteen

"We might as well go back," Vic said after everyone had left.

"I'll see you guys soon, I guess," said Bill sadly as he went inside.

"You guys wanna sleepover tonight? I mean there's no point going home now," Vic offered.

We agreed and piled into Belch's car. He started the engine and drove us to Vic's house. He had the top down and I felt the cold wind blowing through my hair as Henry and Vic's shoulders pressed against mine.

Vic's house was in the same neighborhood as Bill's so it wasn't a long drive to get there. The car stopped when we reached Vic's house. I'd only been there once before and it was unrecognizable in the dark. We piled out of the car and walked inside the house.

"Are your parents home?" Patrick asked. "I feel like a wank."

"Nah, they're out on a date night," Vic told him.

"Yes!" Exclaimed Patrick with a fist bump.

"Do you guys wanna sleep or do you wanna do something?" Vic asked.

"Any of you up for truth or dare?" Belch asked.

"Sure," Vic agreed.

"I'll go get Patrick," I added.

"Is that really a good idea?" Warned Henry. "I think he's... busy."

"I really don't give two shits what he doing," I said as I made my way upstairs.

As I walked up the stairs I heard skin slapping. I rolled my eyes. I heard Patrick grunting in the first room so I flung the door open, knowing full well what I would be seeing.

Patrick was sprawled out on the bed wanking with a pair of underwear that looked vaguely familiar. Then I realized that they were mine, I must have left them here when I slept over. Patrick didn't notice that I was there at first so I cleared my throat. When he saw me he stopped, threw a pillow over himself and quickly pushed the underwear under the pillow.

"You perv," I said with a small laugh, shutting the door.

"At first I didn't realize they were yours. I've always used the material in Vic's magazines from front to back and I needed something else. I only kinda knew they were yours when I smelt them. They smell like you," Patrick explained.

"Smell like me?" I questioned.

"Yeah, wherever you go you leave this smell, so I guess it makes sense that it would be on your clothes," Patrick told me.

"Good smell?" I asked.

"Amazing," Patrick complimented.

I shrugged in agreement. "Can I maybe have them back?"

Patrick looked at me in disbelief.

"You need to finish don't you," I sighed.

Patrick nodded. "You'll be washing them anyway, so any more time doesn't really matter that much. If you want you can help?"

I've not really done many sexual things that I've actually wanted to do, Cole forces me when I don't want to. There was a guy a few years ago and then there was Vic. I thought for a minute. I guess there wasn't much harm. I respect myself and I have morals. This seemed to be okay.

I sat down on the bed next to Patrick and a look of surprise took over his face. "Are you really helping?"

"Yes," I said.

"Wow," said Patrick in awe.

I moved the pillow. He was still hard. I threw my underwear off the bed.

"You don't have to put your mouth on it if you don't want to," Patrick said.

"No, I don't have to," I said.

I put my hand on Patrick and moved it up and down slowly. I licked it a few times and felt him getting harder and harder. I began to speed up earning double the moans from Patrick.

"I can't believe someone like you is jerking me off," Patrick said between grunts.

"Someone like me?" I asked.

"Someone I find really attractive," he said, his eyes closed and a smile on his face. "Who's also my friend and a great person to be around."

"This is just a friend doing another friend a favor," I said.

"Whatever it is, I'm loving it," Patrick said before he then closed his eyes, went back into his own world and moaned louder.

"I'm almost there," he said.

I decided I would use my mouth just to finish.

"What the fuck," said Henry.

I quickly finished Patrick off, swallowed and whipped my head around.

I turned around to see Henry standing there.

"Oh, hey Henry," I said.

"Why were you doing that?" Belch asked.

"Yeah?" Questioned Vic.

"She was helping a friend out," Patrick said.

I gave a nod of agreement.

"I mean it's fine, it's just a bit weird," Belch said, pointing at Patrick and me.

"So, you two now?" Henry asked, sounding annoyed.

"There is no 'us two'," I said with air quotes. "We're just friends."

"With benefits," Henry added.

"No," I said, looking directly at him.

"Well we just came up to see why you were taking so long," Vic said.

"So long for what?" Patrick asked.

"I was gonna ask you to play truth or dare with us," I told him.

"Oh," Patrick said. "Well, I'll play now."

"Cool," I said.

"We should play spin the bottle," Belch said,

"No way," Henry said.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Not after you've done that," Henry said.

"So?" I asked.

"You shouldn't kiss him after you've done that, it's kind of like you're solidifying something," Henry said.

"No," I said. "It's not."

"I can't believe you would do that," Henry said, sounding disappointed.

"Why not?" I demanded.

"It just doesn't seem like something you would do... taking your history into account," Henry murmured.

"Henry!" I snapped. "Maybe after the way I've been treated I'd like to have an enjoyable sexual experience with someone who I respect and who respects me."

"It's not right," Henry argued.

"Why do you care?" I snapped loudly.

"Let's all go back to the living room," Henry announced.

I pulled him back by his wrist. "Tell me why you fucking care!"

I looked into Henry's eyes and he looked scared, angry and sad at the same time.

"I-I just... I just care. And I didn't want you to feel pressured or anything," Henry told me.

"Bullshit!" Belch yelled.

"Yeah, tell 'er the real reason," Vic said.

"What's the real reason?" I asked, letting go of his wrist.

"Nothing," Henry said. "They're just fucking around."

I shrugged.

"Maybe we should just go to bed and do something tomorrow?" Belch suggested.

"Yeah, okay," I agreed.

"Henry, do you wanna help me get the mattresses?" Vic asked.

"I'll help too," I said.

"Me too," Belch added.

"Okay then, follow me," Vic told us.

We followed him down the dark hallway and to a flight of stairs.

"The attic?" Henry asked.

"Yeah, the attic," Vic confirmed.

"Count me out!" Henry said.

"You scared or something?" Belch asked.

Henry nodded. "I mean it's dark and you never know what's up there."

"Well, who's coming then?" Vic asked.

Belch and I put our hands up. Vic pulled down the ladder and we all began climbing up.

"Wait for me!" Henry yelled, obviously not wanting to be standing in the dark hallway alone.

Vic passed back five blow up mattresses and Belch passed them to me and I passed them down to Henry. We climbed back down and carried them to the living room.

"Patrick!" Yelled Vic. "Get down here!"

"You got a pump or something?" I asked.

"In the coffee table," Vic said, gesturing to a draw in the coffee table.

I took out the pump and I began to pump up the mattress that I was going to sleep on when I realized they were all staring with their mouths open.

"What?" I asked as I stopped.

Vic made an action where it looked like he was pulling his top up by the collar. I looked down and realized my top had slipped down pretty far. I fixed it. "Sorry."

"It's okay, not your fault," Henry said.

When I had finished with the pump, I handed it to Henry next to me who passed it around.

"Henry, go get the bedding from the cupboard over there," Vic ordered.

Henry as he stood up, grabbed five blankets and five pillows, threw them over to us and came and sat back down.

"No talking," Vic said.

"Why not?" Patrick asked.

"Because my parents will be home any minute now, and I'm not supposed to be up this late," Vic explained.

We agreed and began trying to fall asleep.

I don't know how long it had been after Vic turned the lights out but it seemed like hours and I couldn't fall asleep.

"Prim!" I heard someone whisper yell from the bed next to me. It was Henry.

"'Yeah?" I whispered back.

"You awake?" Henry asked.

"No," I said sarcastically. "I'm not awake because I just answered you."

"Sorry," Henry said, rolling his eyes.

"I can't sleep," I said.

"Me neither," Henry agreed. "Wanna go for a walk?"

"Yeah," I agreed quickly.

Henry got up quickly, making a loud noise.

"Shh!" I said with a laugh.

I put my coat and shoes on and Henry and I quietly opened the front door. It was freezing, and I was only in a crop top and shorts. My coat was warm at least.

"You cold?" Henry asked.

"Nah, I'm fine," I said.

"Come on," Henry insisted, knowing I was cold.

We began walking down the quiet, lonely street illuminated by only street lights.

"Do you want my jacket? It's probably warmer," Henry offered.

"No, I'm fine," I said.

"You sure?" Henry asked.

"I'm sure," I insisted.

We headed up the hill.

"Full moon tonight," Henry pointed out.

"It's so pretty," I said.

"Yeah," Henry agreed in awe.

"So is the group broken up now?" Henry asked.

"I think the others will come around. I feel sorry for Bill, though. We should go and hang with him tomorrow," I suggested.

"Yea, maybe the arcade?" Henry suggested.

"Yeah, although Richie will probably be there. I mean I've got no problem with that but I don't want them to start another fight, you know?" I told him.

"True, but we should definitely go to Bill's house," Henry said.

"I wanna go see Eddie too and see how his arm is," I said.

"You should go alone though," Henry said.

"Yeah, I was going to," I agreed.

We had gotten to the top of the hill and we sat down on one of the benches. This was the hill where people drive up to in cars to hook up.

It was a small bench so our arms were touching.

I shivered as a cold breeze blew past.

Henry put his arm around me and I moved a little closer to him.

"I'm so glad we're close again," Henry said.

"Me too," I said, looking up into his eyes.

A strong feeling ran through me and I knew that it was love. I could tell from the way that he was looking at me that he felt the exact same way. Henry put his hand on my cheek and pulled my face closer to his. Our lips connected and it felt perfectly right. Our lips moved in sync as fireworks went off inside me and I felt myself falling deeper and deeper in love. It just felt so right.

I pulled back, swelling with love and happiness and gave Henry a small smile.
