Aquamarine's pov

My teeth grinded against each other when my eyes landed on the tub of hair gel in front of me. Who even wears hair gel to watch a movie in the dark? Dumbass.

"I need to talk to you, stat" Josie said, the girl walked right over and took her hands in mine, tugging me right towards the kitchen

It amazed me how only the touch of Beverly could spark something within me.

So there I stood, leaning against the counter with my elbows supporting my chin as I smiled sweetly.

Josie stood on the opposite end with her and crossed her arms against her chest with a pissed off expression.

"What's on your mind?" I asked

"What the fuck is that out there?" Josie asked

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about, why is your girl getting all lovey dovey with Ray the stray?"

"Ray the stray?" I asked

"Yeah, because he needs to stray the fuck away from Beverly" Josie spat. I chuckled at the girl

"Beverly isn't mine to have" I assured

"Cut the crap, you know damn well she likes you" Josie said, I rolled my eyes and exhaled a deep breath

"She doesn't"

"Oh come on dude, I expected the obliviousness from her not you" the girl spat

"Bev has her own life to live, she chooses who she gets to be with or doesn't" I said

"And you're just a second option in case she doesn't like dick!?" she yelled

"Shhhh, keep your voice down, they're right in the next room" I groaned

"Aqua, you need to think of yourself as someone that matters. Because you do" Josie said

"That's sweet" I chuckled, the girl sighed and walked closer towards me

"Doesn't it hurt?" she asked

"To see them together like that?"

"It feels like having a whale resting on your chest" I said

"Why don't you tell her about how you feel?"

"What am I supposed to say? She's already going through a self battle, I can't go and make her feel guilty because she isn't choosing me" I said

"I understand that, but it's still good to talk about what you're feeling. Bev is a good girl, she'll understand you" Josie said

"This isn't a game, this is my heart"

"And you need to treasure your heart" Josie said

"Are you really falling for her?"

"I'm not falling for her. I'm sinking to the bottom of the ocean with an anchor around my leg" I said. Josie's eyes grew wide

"Really? You don't show it"

"With the toxic father I have, you get accustomed to concealing your emotions to protect yourself" I assured

"I guess I understand you better now, you're a really good person Aqua. I just wish Bev could see that other side of you" She mumbled

"You have a problem with Raymond?" I asked

"Of course I do, he's just an ass. We've met a few times and it hasn't been pretty. He's so manipulative, Bev wouldn't see that since she's known him her whole life but gosh is he annoying. Plus, who the hell wears hair gel to a mov-"

"-Movie night in the dark!" I finished her sentence, we both laughed at how we were thinking the same thing

"This one time, he made her choose between going to Elena's cheer game or spending time with him. When she wanted to see the game, he went all dramatic and shit, called her every three minutes. He even showed up at the game because she rejected to hang out with him. I just don't get how she couldn't see through that" Josie scoffed

"Did you guys explain it?"

"Yes, but she just shrugged it off. I think she's just making up excuses for him because she knew him as a sweet little kid. But the fact is, people change. We all grow up and become different people. Our past might stick to us but it doesn't mean it defines us. Raymond deffinetly changed and but wasn't for the better. He just hides behind a smile that she likes" Josie said

"Then we'll keep an eye on her" I glanced in the girl's direction

"I wouldn't let anything happen to Beverly, I swear on my life"

"I know you wouldn't. I trust you, that's why I'm rooting for you two" Josie chuckled

"That makes two of us" I laughed

"So tell me, how are things with Elena"

"It's.. Still going" she sighed

"Rough patch?"

"No it's just that, I'm not sure what she wants. She doesn't even communicate with me either"

"Straight girls are such confusion" I chuckled

"That's the thing, she knows deep down she's not straight but the thought of it is what she keeps clinging onto" Josie rolled her eyes

"Sit her down and tell her exactly how you feel" I said

"And what if she decides to drop me then and there?"

"Elena Jackson would never reject you" I smiled

"Ya never know Aqua, Ya just never know" she giggled

"We should get back in there, movie's gonna start soon" I said

"I brought snacks" She squealed

"Is it that phat juicy ass of yours" I smirked

"Bon appetite baby" Josie winked before she dashed out the kitchen. I laughed and shook my head before following her into the living room.

My eyes landed on the array of teenagers scattered all over the place.

Josie took the seat where Elena sat in, of course. Allie sat her herself in a single chair. The only seat left was next to Bev, I smiled and walked over to her.

Only to be met with the uncircumcised boy draping his arms around her.

"Come here" Bev whispered as she patted a seat next to me.

Really? Do I look like I wanna sit next to my crush who has a guy's arms around her. Because if I do, please stamp the words 'Jackass' all over my forehead. Please and thank you.

Then again, the floor didn't seem to comfortable. I rolled my eyes and plopped myself on the chair next to her.

In the corner of my eyes, I saw her fingers tremble. I furrowed my brows at her

"Cold?" I asked

"Yeah, kinda" she chuckled

My eyes glanced in the direction of a few blankets. I sighed and walked over to grab one.

"Can you please turn the lights off, the movie is about to start" Allie said, I nodded and flipped the switch.

The living room lights went out and it was almost pitch black, the surround system was on and the TV screen was wide. Almost like a projector. The sub from the surround system's bass was loud. It echoed through the entire room.

I walked back into the seat and tossed a blanket over Beverly. She mumbled a thank you and asked Raymond if he wanted to share, he declined and held his eyes towards the movie.

"Mind if I cut in? The AC is pretty high" I chuckled, Bev nodded and threw the thick blanket over us. I came closer to her, her warm body heat invaded mine. I sighed into the comforting embrace of the girl.

The movie went along for half an hour and I was already bored. Action movies had no place in my heart, the only thing keeping me sane was the warmth radiating off of Beverly.

Raymond even gave up on cuddling with her since she kept inching closer towards me. His attention was fixed on the screen while mine was on her. The light of the TV reflected onto her eyes, it gave off just the right around of light to see her perfect lips, they were slightly parted.

"Why are you staring at me?" She whispered, her eyes were still glued to the television

"Because you're beautiful" I smiled, the blood rushed to her cheeks as they turned pink

"You're so cute when you blush" I chuckled

"Shut up and watch the movie" she groaned

"Is that an order?" I asked

"Yes"

"Do you think you're all so powerful?" I asked

"Yes, yes I am Aqua" she smirked

"Oh?" I raised a brow, my hands seemed to take control as I placed them on her thigh under the blanket. It seemed to drive her crazy before, let's see how powerful she is now

"What are you doing?" she asked

"Testing your control" I chuckled, my hands gripped her inner thighs and she sucked in a breath. Her head tilted back when I massaged her flesh tenderly

"You're gonna kill me" she whispered

"Is that a challenge?" I asked, my hands moved high and she gasped lowly.

"Mhm" she hummed as she bit down on her bottom lip, I smiled and leaned closer to her ear, my face buried in the side of her neck as I placed a soft kiss on her skin. She groaned slightly as I dragged my fingers towards the front of her shorts.

My hands applied a deep pressure to her front and I rubbed, I could feel her heart beat faster as she bit her lips harder, her eyes were closed as she struggled to keep in a moan.

"Aqu-Fuck" she moaned lowly when I slid my fingers over her shorts and ran over her thin fabric.

"Jesus" she hissed when I stroked her softly through her underwear, her hands gripped the chair as her head tilted back. I chuckled at her powerless she was under my touch.

I took it a step further and dipped two fingers into her-

"I-I'm gonna bring us so-Some snacks" Beverly announced as she stood up, I quickly withdrawed my hand when the blankets fell from her body. The girl quickly ran towards the kitchen as I chuckled to myself.

My eyes trailed over her as she ran quickly to the other room, her eyes were still on mine. I smirked and threw the blankets off.

"Anyone want anything?" I asked

"Nah I'm cool" Ray said, Allie shook her head but Josie smirked

"Just go get what you want" Josie said, Elena elbowed her to the stomach and she laughed

I shook my head smiling as I went dashed away from the living room and aimed right into the kitchen. My feet pressed against the cold tiles of the kitchen.

Only to be harshly slammed against the wall, it knocked all the wind out my lungs, I groaned when my back came into contact with the hard wall but soft lips were quickly pressed down on mine. Not innocently, like a tease but hot, fiery, passionate and demanding. I want to pull away before I lose myself but I can’t seem to…In this minty moment, my senses have been seduced and I can no longer think straight

I smiled against her lips, Beverly's hands gripped my waist as she captured my bottom lips between hers, my hands snaked around her shoulder and pulled her closer, our bodies pressed against each other as one. I loved the way her small body melted into mine. The way our lips fit like two puzzle pieces. The way she relented as I played with her hair and held her tighter and tighter.

My hands dropped to her sides as I pulled her thighs up and wrapped them around my waist, I did one swift move and Beverly's back was now pressed against the wall as I was captured between her legs.

Our lips never broke contact, her tongue flicked over my bottom lips begging for entrance which I granted. I moaned against her mouth when her tongue fought mine, the small dominance in her seemed to drive me crazy.

When she kissed me, my brain lit on fire and the warmth spread throughout my entire body. After that I was addicted, I couldn't bare not to be with her and I could barely breathe when she was around. Those kisses were my salvation and my torment. I lived for them and I would die with the memory of them on my lips. I dedicated my life to being with her from the moment of that first kiss

For I knew that if I lost her I would loose myself. She was the half that made me whole.
