Chapter 34

Entering into Sky's perfectly arranged house wasn't a strange thing anymore, I feel so comfortable and at home here, it shocks me at times.

We grabbed milkshakes on the way here, so while Sky loudly slurps on his and I hang my coat on the peg by the door; we hear laughter from up the stairs and soon enough Sky's father and a blond lady comes into view as they descend the stairs. I instantly recognize the lady from the picture only now her blond hair seemed to be locked together making it look like dreads and she has a ring pierced on a side of her nose.

"Oh hey guys," Sky's dad sings on seeing us, removing his arm from around his girlfriend and giving Sky a quick one side hug before he can duck out. "I didn't think you'd be back so early."

Sky runs a finger over his nose like he's about to get mad. "This is the normal time for school to dismiss Dad, it's not early."

"Right," David smiles apologetically to his son, turning his eyes to me. "Israel Taylor."

"Hi," I squeak out, looking down at my leg and feeling all awkward.

He laughs, "I hope you're not getting into trouble hanging out with my boy."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sky barks out before I can say anything and his Dad raises both hands up in surrender.

"Chill, he understands," David— Mr Hunt looks back to me, "right?"

I nod, "right."

"Hi Sky," the lady speaks up for the first time. "How are you?"

"Fine," he clips at her, eyes narrowed like he wants her to disappear.

"I'm fine too," the lady shrugs like she's oblivious of his looks, tossing a hair out her shoulder. "In case you're wondering, blood."

"Don't-"

"Okay," Sky's dad claps, cutting off Sky and forcing out a laugh like he hopes that would make the atmosphere less tense. His eyes flick to me and I give him a tight lipped smile. "We should be on our way, come love." The lady practicing jumps to him, smiling at me and Sky. "Bye boys, see you lads later."

"Good day Sir," I wave, watching them leave and shutting the door. I let out a breath once I hear the car start and I chuckle, looking back to Sky. "That was tense."

"Tell me something I don't know," Sky groans, pulling at his hair as he slumps down on the sofa.

"My house is not nearly as interesting as yours seems to be," I say sitting down beside him and placing what's left of my milkshake on the centre table.

Sky smirks with his eyes closed and resting back, "That's a good thing, Issy."

I pull his fingers off his hair, "you don't like your dad's girlfriend?"

He sighs, fluttering his eyes open. "It's not that I don't like her, she's fairly good. I just can't help getting riled up around her, can't bloody explain why."

"Hmm," I run my finger at the back of his palm like he sometimes does for me. "Thinks it has something to do with your mum?"

"Sure it does," he laughs humorlessly. "She's still biting my arse even when she's not here. So perfect."

"Do you think your dad is really serious about her?"

He runs a hand down his face, "maybe. He's been with her for a while now, even got her picture here and shit." His voice gets smaller, "maybe he's not waiting for my mum after all."

I look him and move closer so he gets to rest his head on my shoulder.

"I really don't want her coming back, you know." He says, exhaling heavily. I take her to be his mum. "And Rosalie is actually a really good person but I can't imagine her as my mum. I can't imagine anybody else as my mum."

I don't say anything to that. I don't have or know anything to say about it all. So I keep my mouth shut, holding his hand in mine as we relax in a somewhat comfortable silence. Sky sighs again before lifting his head off my shoulder and turning so he's looking at me. His eyes scan my face, darting between my eyes before his lips start twitching into a smile.

"What?" I ask, smiling too without knowing why.

He quickly kisses me, letting our lips linger on each other before pulling away. "We had an arrangement coming here."

I blush, oh. "Are you still cold?"

He smiles and I feel like I'm going to melt. "I could be warmer, you?"

I nod shyly. "Same."

He pulls back a bit, looking me over like his scrutinizing me again and trying to figure out if I'm serious. I don't let him finish before I clumsily cup his face, bringing his lips to mine once more. Sky laughs into the kiss but before I can pull away in embarrassment, his hand wounds around my neck, holding me in place as he kisses me back. I lose myself, our lips moving together like a well rehearsed song, his tongue seeking out mine and causing a moan to escape out of me.

Sky pulls away, his grey eyes lighter as he gets up from the sofa, taking my hand and pulling me with him. My knees feel a little like jelly as we lock up the front door and run up the stairs wearing identical smiles.

When we reach Sky's room, the glow of the light is blue like the other day but I don't have any time to admire the light as our lips find each other again, my fingers tangling in his hair as his hands run over my warm ticklish skin. Sky breaks away from my lips, breaking for air and his lips connect with my cheek, then my jaw and down my neck causing me to giggle.

He pulls away with a smirk slash smile, roaming his eyes around my face. "Cute."

"Shut up," I whisper out, unable to stop smiling and feeling really hot.

In one fliud motion, he takes off his sweater, revealing a button shirt inside. His eyes remain on me as he slowly begins to unbutton it and I take that as a cue to get rid of shirts too. My hands shake slightly as I unbutton my flannel and I succeed in getting it out at the same time that Sky rids himself of his shirt too, standing before me in just his trousers, completely bare up. I almost choke on air and curse at the weather for requiring so much clothes. I still have a flimsy shirt on but I can't look away from Sky's perfect skin long enough to take it off.

He closes the little space between us again, his palm resting on my cheek and causing me to close my eyes, relaxing into the touch. His head relaxes on mine and I can hear and feel his shaky breathe. "I-I've wanted you for the longest time."

Hearing him speak makes me shiver and I open my eyes just to kiss him again. He smiles over my lips and his legs start moving, causing mine to move too and next thing I know, I'm falling over the bed, Sky following me all the way. We continue to kiss and when we break for air, he returns to my neck making me squirm and make some unhuman sounds underneath him.

His fingers find their way under my shirt and my breath hitches in my throat when his hand grazes over my crotch, affecting me even over my trousers. My lips part as my head presses back into the bed, my body arching up to meet his.

My phone's ringtone blares out continuously and despite wanting to ignore it so much, I can't. At first I thought it was ringing in my dream but the sound continues waking me up and pulling me back to reality. I groan, my voice raw and rough as I reach for the phone on the ground, the lightening from it almost burning my lenses. I turn my neck a bit to see Sky sleeping soundly beside me, his arm over my torso, our legs tangled up together. I smile but even that ends up being interrupted as the ringing continues, Jamal's name flashing in front.

"What?" I ask in lieu of a hello or any greeting. I am trying not to be irritated by my one perfect sleep getting interrupted.

"Yeah, evening to you too bruv," Jamal says a smile in his voice and I roll my eyes, pullings myself up from the bed a bit and causing Sky to shift, moving closer to me.

I can't even afford to be mad at Jamal, looking down at Sky and finding him perfect once more. "Mal, what is it?"

He laughs, "where the fuck are you?"

I look away from Sky, "at Sky's, why?"

"At Sky's," he laughs louder. "I knew it, what are you still doing there?"

"I was sleeping," I answer, starting to lose my patience. "Again, why?"

"Did you guys shag?"

"Mal!" Sky jumps a bit at that, startling awake and squinting his sleepy eyes at me. I sheepishly smile and he groans, turning around and curling away from me. Now I get mad, "Bye bye."

"Wait wait," he rushes out, making me pause. "I called for a reason."

"I'm finding it really hard to believe that."

"Sorry," he sighs. "Your mum called."

That finally gets my attention and I sit up a bit straighter. "Why?"

"Well, apparently you're at my place and you're not picking your phone and you didn't tell her you'd be sleeping over so what the fuck are you still doing at mine at past eight pm!" He finishes with a yell and bursts out laughing.

"Past eight?!" I scream, jumping off the bed.

"Oh my Issy, you have no idea how I had to hold in my laughter," he coughs a bit to stop himself. "Your mum is going to kill me and you... You especially."

"Moses beard," I pick up my shirt from the floor, shrugging it back on.

"So again, did you guys shag?"

"No," I spit out, "what did you tell her?"

"I told her we got carried away doing assignments and she said you should come home immediaty and if we're not done with the work, I should come with you."

I sigh, "she didn't sound that mad, right?"

"She always sounds mad."

I throw Sky's shirt at him, whacking him on the head with it but he still doesn't move from his curled position on the bed. "Thanks Mal."

"Anytime, please go home."

"Sure."

"And the assignment is Physics."

"Okay, thanks." I end the call, tucking my phone into my trouser pocket. "Sky, wake up."

He groans, raising his jeans clad legs up first before he finally got up with his eyes still closed and groggily asks, "What's up?"

I can't help but smile at how good he looks with his hair sticking out everywhere and his sleepy face. He looks so good, it's unsettling. I didn't lie to Jamal, we didn't have sex but we did a lot of other things. Well, Sky did a lot of other things to me. I had marks on my shoulder to prove it. And there's this uncomfortable dampness at my crotch I'd rather not think about.

I touched him too and it felt so weird and good at the same time. He didn't let me take off my trousers or take his off, saying stuff about how I wasn't ready for what would happen when I do take them off. And he didn't want to rush me or make me see him as a fuckboy when he genuinely cared about me and would rather take it slow than mess with my head. I had no choice but to agree with him because as usual he was right.

I can't help but be a little scared at anything more happening. Sex looked good on google but I can imagine all that happening in real life. I don't even know where to start and what happens next? We continue pretending and sneaking around. I don't know about Sky but it's all exhausting in a way. I can't go all out when I'm not ready to go all out. I am really scared of it all and I can't also help but think of Lou with Shayla.

He's straight after all...

Oh my goodness, how did Lou enter this? I shake my head and hopefully the thought out.

"I'm late," I explain to him, rushing into his bathroom to check my hair. "We have to go."

"You can't stay over?" He asks and I hear his feet padding towards.

"Nope, my mum be narked."

Sky relaxs on the door frame, crossing his arms and smiling at me. "You're late and yet you still have time to check your hair?"

I huff, looking away from the mirror, a little satisfied. "I can't have it all tangled."

"Mm-hm," he hums, his arms going my waist and pulling me against his bare chest. He rests his head on my shoulder, placing a kiss there. "I don't want you to go."

"I don't want to go too," I push his hair back and shyly kiss his cheek.

"Then stay," he kisses me again. "Let's shower and make out more."

I giggle, "okay sure."

He looks up sharply, "really?"

"'Course not, silly," I push away from him. "Unless you're ready to house me here."

"I am."

"I'm not," I go to arrange his bed. "You don't need to see me off, I just wanted you to know I'm going."

He groans, "this sucks."

When I'm done, he follows me downstairs and out the house, still shirtless. I laugh, "Sky it's freezing out here."

"Don't go Issy," he whines and I laugh.

"Bye Sky," we kiss and I laugh before getting into my car. "Pray my mum doesn't eat my head off."

"I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too."

"Chat me up when you can, I'd be waiting."

I nod starting up the car, "okay."

"Goodnight, sweetheart."

"Goodnight Sky."

Reaching home is another thing entirely...

"Israel Immanuel Taylor!"

Sigh.
