needed to talk to you.” He further explains, stepping in front of me and pulling my fingers out of my ears.
“Right, Ari. I’m supposed to believe that you turned her down when her perfect body was dancing in front of you.” I roll my eyes at him sarcastically, waving my hands around.
“I love you, Eury. Just you! I wouldn’t do that, I swear,” he grovels, grabbing both my hands in his and holding onto them tight.
“Fine, whatever.” I don’t want to listen to him rambling on and on.
“Forgive me, please,” he begs me.
“Sure,” I mutter, just wanting to be left alone.
“Don’t do that closed off thing with me, Eury. I know you.” He raises his eyebrows as if daring me to deny it. He bends down and gets on a knee right in front of me. He reaches his hands towards me, the puppy dog eyes working in full force.
“I forgive you,” I tell him, holding back a smile at his cheesy theatrics.
“But do you really?” He inches towards me. He wraps his arms around my waist while his head presses flat against my stomach.
“Yes.” I giggle when his face nuzzles into me, tickling my sides. He clutches my waist, tickling me with fervor, and I fall into his arms laughing uncontrollably. I make sure to hold my towel onto my body so nothing slips out.
“Tell me you love me,” he demands, pausing his tickling to look deep in my eyes. He’s gone all serious. His emotions are giving me whiplash.
“I love you,” I whisper before taking a leap of faith. I press my lips to his in a gentle kiss that I want to convey exactly what I feel.
“God, I love you,” he moans in between our kisses. He takes it to a new passionate level, his tongue swirling around as his hands roam down my back. I pull mine through his hair and tug at the ends, loving the way it’s grown out over our time apart.
CHAPTER FIVE
slumber party
After Ari’s surprise visit, I feel rejuvenated—liberated, even. I’ve got a pep in my step and love deep in my heart. Kara and I begin to set up the room for the slumber party as music blasts through my computer speakers. The girls should be arriving any minute, so we want everything ready to go.
After getting extra blankets from the RA downstairs and stealing some pillows from the common room, we set up the floor with a make shift king bed in front of the television. I dig into my stash of candy, pulling out the Twizzlers, wanting to sacrifice them first, since they’re my least favorite. I leave the Rolo’s at the bottom, so they stay hidden, and selfishly keep them for myself.
I’m excited for the slumber party, but at the same time, I don’t like the way Lisa treats me. And I certainly don’t like that she’ll be in my private space all night. The last thing I want is for her to dig into my life and find out something she shouldn’t know. She seems spiteful and manipulative and is just a mean, mean girl.
I don’t know what it is about her, but she’s one of those typical too-good-for-you, queen bee type girls. She’s beautiful with her reddish hair, supermodel height, and perfect complexion, but it’s no excuse to treat me, or anyone else for that matter, like shit. I decide not to let it bother me tonight and focus on Kara and Megan, who have been nothing but nice to me thus far. Plus, I’m genuinely interested in forming friendships with each them.
“What else?” Kara looks around the room as we try to figure out what else we need to do, setup-wise. Her side of the room is arranged with beauty stations, clad with nail polish, hair spray, and all sorts of other torture devices. It looks like Barbie puked on her desk after mating with a My Little Pony.
“Well, Lisa’s bringing the pizza. We have a case of soda and some snacks. Did you get a movie?” I ask her while ticking off a mental check list and hoping we have it all covered since they’re going to be here any second.
My heart pitter-patters in anticipation. It’s
