PART II: Chapter Sixteen
When I open my eyes, the light from the window is practically blinding. I squeeze them shut and let out a groan, rolling over until my hand hits her body. For a second I think it's Ramsey, but then the memories start to slowly creep back in, a smile falling on my face.
She's curled up into the pillow, her mouth slightly open from her heavy breathing. The way her hair is sticking up all over the place, the only thing covering her naked body being a thin sheet, is mesmerizing. I don't ever want to stop staring at her, and I'm not sure when I'll be able to shake this feeling of it being all a dream, but it seems to never go away.
I let her sleep and start to do things around the apartment to pick it up. She hasn't been here in so long. Not an ounce of me expected her to be with me again, so I'm trying to make sure everything is picked up for her. I throw my clothes into the washer, and then I wash the dishes that are dirty in the sink, and then I start to fix the cushions on the couch from where we had been so reckless last night.
"Hey."
My eyes pop up to see Reina standing in the hallway wearing nothing but one of my t-shirts. She's twirling the edge of it between her thumb and pointer finger, and it's completely distracting me.
"Hey." I smirk, cocking my head slightly to the side. "Sleep well?"
She rests her shoulder against the wall and looks me up and down. I'm wearing nothing but a pair of jersey shorts, and for a second I start to feel self conscious. I shouldn't feel like this, but I can't help it.
I watch her quietly walk over towards me before she wraps her arms around my waist and presses her lips to my shoulder. It's almost an instinct of mine to pull her closer, so that's exactly what I do. The smell of roses and honey comes into my nose almost immediately, and it's so familiar that it makes my stomach churn. I'm almost sick to my stomach that I almost lost her.
She doesn't want me to pull away because she's clutching onto my back so tightly it's almost as if I'll explode.
"You okay, beautiful?" I ask.
"No." She mumbles into my skin. "I missed you way too much."
A knock on the door interrupts us, and Reina immediately begins to pull the t-shirt down around her body.
"I have another pair of shorts in the dresser." I kiss her quickly once more. "You can wear those."
While she goes into my room to change, I thud down the steps and open up the door, freezing immediately when I see Ramsey. She's got mascara stained on her cheeks, her arms crossed over her chest wearing a hoodie and a pair of jeans.
My hand is clutching the handle of the door, and I look behind me to make sure Reina isn't there, scratching the back of my head.
"Ramsey, what are you doing here?" I ask.
"You didn't answer any of my phone calls." She sniffles. Her cheeks are so puffy from all of the crying. "I called you like fifteen times between last night and this morning and haven't been able to reach you."
"Oh, I think my um, phone died..." I trail off. I'm pretty sure she's expecting me to let her inside, but that would be an extremely bad idea right now. I think she can sense that because she's looking behind me to see if there's anybody here.
"Can we talk?" She asks.
"It's not a really good time." I admit. "I'm sorry for not calling you back, but I promise I will see you soon so that we can discuss everything, alright?"
"Justin!" Reina's voice echoes down the hallway, making my heart seem to stop beating. I can't look at Ramsey's face because I can't bear to see the hurt I've caused her.
Reina thuds down the steps like I had done minutes ago, and when she sees Ramsey her body stills, her hands immediately going to her hair to try and fix it. She's in my clothing, so it's not hard to piece together what happened.
"Wow." Ramsey scoffs, wiping away a couple of more tears. She's staring at me in disbelief almost until the anger takes over her. "You couldn't have waited until you officially broke things off with me? You really had to sleep with her?"
Reina is still silent as they both wait for me to say something. No matter what I say I'm going to piss one of them off. I'd rather it be Ramsey than Reina even though that makes me sound like an asshole.
"I told you that there was history Ramsey. It doesn't make it right, and I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, but..." I pause, glancing back towards Reina. "I love her."
"So I just mean nothing because you love her? It's okay to treat me like trash when I spent months trying to help you get over her? Does that not mean anything to you?"
"It does." I sputter, trying to somehow make this right. "I'm sorry."
"Whatever." She shoots back icily, narrowing her eyes towards Reina. "You're nothing but a fucking whore. Your daddy issues are quite clear."
I'm in shock from what she just said, and before I can defend her Reina pushes me to the side, getting close into her face. "I told you the first time that he's always belonged to me. You can call me a whore all you want, you can call me a hoe, you can call me all of the names in the book, but one thing you won't ever be able to do is say that he's yours. Have a nice day."
She slams the door in her face, her face redder than ever and her chest heaving up and down. I'm kind of shocked that she's so upset, so I'm not sure what she exactly wants me to do right now.
"Are you alright?" I finally decide to say. "I'm so sorry that she said that shit. She was never like that, I just-"
"I'm fine!" She shouts, but the tears are brimming in the backs of her eyes. "I just can't fucking stand her! I can't stand that I didn't tell you sooner. I can't stand that you were... inside of her. I can't get that fucking moment out of my head. I-I keep hearing the two of you, and I just-"
She breaks down into a sob, practically collapsing into my arms. I sink down onto the steps with her and let her put my head on my shoulder, rocking her back and forth like she loves because I know it calms her down.
"Hey," I soothe, placing multiple kisses to her cheek. I don't stop, and it eventually causes her to laugh. "Baby, would you look at me?"
She glances up and allows me to wipe a couple of tears that are falling down her cheeks.
"You are the only girl that I'll ever love. I know that seeing me with Ramsey must have upset you, but I feel the same way about Carter, alright? I hate the fact that another guy had you after me, but I can't change that, you know? All I care about is that you're mine again. No matter what on earth happens from now on, I'm never losing you ever again."
Silence overwhelms us for a couple of seconds until a smile finally replaces her frown and she lets out a little sigh. "How is it that you can make my mood so much better just by saying things?"
"Because I'm your best friend."
"Maybe." She smirks, bringing her thumbnail up to her mouth to bite it. "Sorry I shut the door in her face. I just got really upset."
"She was being rude." I shrug. "I'll talk to her eventually."
When another knock sounds on the door, I let out a groan of frustration and this time look through the peephole. Thankfully it's Scott this time and not Ramsey again, and when I open up the door he's got a huge smirk plastered on his face.
"Dude!" He chuckles, reaching his hand out to fist bump me. "Guess what? I've got tickets to-" He pauses when he sees Reina, completely in shock. "Reina?" He questions, furrowing his eyebrows together in confusion. "What are you... Did you..." He can't seem to get his thoughts in order, which causes the both of us to laugh. I know that our friends are probably going to be overjoyed that we're back together.
"We're together again." She admits, her cheeks going rosy.
"That's amazing!" Scott shouts, pulling her in for a hug. He smiles widely at me again and stuffs his hands into the pocket of his jacket. "Dude, fuck these tickets that I have. We're all going out to celebrate. I'm calling Mark and Colby."
"Where are the tickets to?" I ask.
"It doesn't even matter. This is much more exciting."
He pulls out his phone and begins to text rapidly to make the plans while I snake my arms around Reina's waist and tug her close to my chest. I really wish Scott wasn't here, because I honestly would take her right here and now again. I can tell she wants it by her body language. Her hands are running down my chest, her teeth tugging slightly on that bottom lip. I've missed her so damn much.
"Casper's?" He questions. "That sound good to you guys?"
"Sure." We both reply in unison.
"Alright, cool. I was just stopping by to see if you wanted to chill, but clearly you're busy, so I'll just see you guys later."
"Much appreciated." I chuckle. "Bye man."
As soon as the door shuts I twist the lock and attach my lips with hers. It's forceful, it's aggressive, it's everything I've been thinking about since yesterday. I can't get enough of her. It's been way too long.
"Fuck." She moans, stumbling backwards from the strength of me. I tug down the shorts she's wearing of mine and grip her ass with one hand, unable to make it up the steps. We land on the second to last one, and I don't waste any time. I'm leaving gentle bites on her collarbone, growing more turned on with each second that passes by.
I eventually give in, pulling my shorts off and easing inside of her. I feel her back arch off of the step, her nails sinking into my back as she calls out my name. I'm leaving sloppy kisses everywhere I see fit from the feeling, unable to go much longer. I knew this would be a quickie the moment I woke up this morning.
"You are just..." I murmur into her ear, raspy from the heavy breathing. "You are everything." I moan. "You are everything to me."
She comes when she hears my words, and I quickly follow her moments after. I just keep kissing her as we try to calm down, seeming to be unable to stop. I am never going to take this for granted with her ever again. Getting the opportunity to kiss her is something I will forever be grateful for.
"We should probably shower." She giggles, running her hands through my hair. She stops at the ends and twirls a strand around her finger. "Or get some breakfast."
"How about..." I murmur, kissing down her neck. "We shower..." I kiss her shoulder. "Then I'll make you the best breakfast you've ever had?"
"Oh yeah?" She asks. "And what does that include?"
"That includes whatever the fuck you want." I nibble on her earlobe, causing her to laugh more. She eventually erupts into giggles, practically gasping for air when I begin to tickle her sides.
"Okay!" She pleads, standing up from the step. "Let's try to be productive and not have sex everywhere in this apartment."
"Is that a challenge?" I question. "Because I'm pretty sure the dryer is still up for grabs."
"Shut up." She rolls her eyes and grabs onto my hand, wrapping it around her own waist as we head for the bathroom.
I don't know how this happened, or how I got so lucky to have her be mine again, but all I know is that I'm going to soak up every ounce of this as I possibly can.
