I'M NOT HAVING SEX WITH YOU

"OMG!! I can't believe I forgot my trigonometry textbook at home!" I said.

"No worries, we can share." Foluke said heaping textbooks in her arm, "how was practice?"

After a week of attending trigonometry class, I was yet to come to terms with the fact that I was a trigonometry student. I avoided that subject like it was a highly communicable contagious disease. And I've got goodnews too, guess?! I've been accepted into the female baseball team!! Bad news is, I've never been stressed out this much in my entire life.

As I walk with foluke to her house, I managed to walk with bones which where all in wreck.

"It was pretty good. The team has started talking to me more." When I told the news to my mum she had screamed and given me a big hug, "got my uniforms too and I'm starting to learn names slowly but surely."

"Honestly, I don't know a lot of girls on the team. They're kind of weird."

My curiosity was aroused, "how do you mean?"

"They never mingle with the others and there was a rumour flying around last year that they where all lesbians." Foluke said suddenly developing interest in her shoes.

"Okay, I really have to laugh at." I said, "they're not all lesbians. Half the team have serious boyfriend's, like I've been seeing them around."

"Can't your curiosity be spiked for once?" Foluke said around a big laugh, "I made that up. I know most of them. They're cool people and would warm up to you."

"You should take a course on suspense."

Foluke laughed, "I really should. I've never been able to prank anyone in my entire life."

"A pity, nobody's gonna believe you." I said when we came to a halt infront of a lemon door, "this your place? Cool neighborhood."

"Thank you!" Foluke unlocked the door and stepped aside so I could enter, "honestly, I don't know what we're going to do about trigonometry tomorrow. I regret signing up for it."

"Do your best and leave the rest." I simply said. "We just have to go over the notes. I'm not good at it myself.

"Right? What did they say about birds of the same feather flocking together? I'll get snacks so we can get started." Foluke went down to the kitchen.

"Water too, please!" I shouted after her.

"Your wish is my command, mi lady."

I rolled my eyes. I had never met someone as dramatic as Foluke olatunji Ibrahim.

"I come bringing gifts!" Foluke announced as she carried a tray of ice cream into the room with two spoons.

"Sweet!"

Foluke sat down and we dug into the ice cream.

"You guys keep ice creams around or something?" I asked.

"Or something."

"I should take some home. I've never tasted anything like this back home." I said seriously.

"I got my eyes on you." Foluke said moving two of her fingers infront of her eyes. "But you stink. Go shower. And I would consider your request."

"You're wrong. We both stink!" I said throwing a pillow at her. She dodged it perfectly well. "Ain't it both of us who walked under the angry sun?"

"I didn't play sports. Now, did I?"

"Whatever?" I waved her off, "where can I shower?"

She pointed out the bathroom to me and I headed towards it. Few minutes later and I was done. I came out of the shower pilling a towel on my head with my hair wrapped up so that water wouldn't have access to it.

"Hmmn. You sexy thing." Foluke said with a dreamy look in her eyes.

I gave her a weird look."But for the fact that you confessed yourself to having kissing a guy, and so far, you seem to like boys, I would consider you a lesbian." I said.

Her eyes bulged. "Seriously?!" She said, "take that back!!"

I shot her a look. "You're annoying, so I won't. Hmmmn, I shouldn't be certain, you might begin to show characteristics of lesbianism sometimes in the future."

Foluke threw a pillow at my head. "Take that back."

I dodged too hard and my towel loosened.

"Stop it!" I yelled. I righted my wrapper around my waist and stood bare chested. "Check this tittie's out. Very firm around." I cupped my breast.

"You spoilt child!" Foluke said.

"Not at all. Since we can't study for trigonometry, I'm gonna let you suckle on it." I said going closer to where she sat on the bed.

"You're bad!" She said through fits of laughter, "get thee behind me."

"Oh, you like it from behind?" I touched her laps.

She slapped my hands away, "I'm gonna tell if you come closer!"

I couldn't stop myself from laughing so I let it all out. "You're scared huh? Was just joking too."

"Crazy girl." She said trying to control her laughter.

"Thank you too."

"So... trigonometry." I said.

"Yeah." She said laying out the textbooks in front of us.

"I think........"

*. *. *. *

"You're walking home alone, late." A voice called from behind as I made my way home in the almost dark night.

"Who's that?" I whispered yelled trying not to show scared I was.

"A harmless boy." The voice said.

By now I could hear footsteps draw closer. I was prepared to word.

Without answering, Ray proceeded forward onto the lawn.

"Don't do that again." I said clutching my chest.

"Do what?" He asked like he didn't know.

"Scare me again."

"Shh." Ray said back, "come on."

My heart beat a little a little faster and I contemplated following him. "Where are you going?" I asked.

"Home."

"Ow. Okay. Wait. You weren't stalking me, right?"

He looked at me like I was nut. "I wasn't. Mere coincidence." He smiled and turned to look at me again, "why would I stalk you?"

"Obviously. You've always find ways to be in my space."

"Presumptuous." He whispered in my ears as he pushed forward.

A chill crept down my spine at the nearness of his voice and it tingled in my ears. I could hear my heart pounding in my chest from the adrenaline that cursed through my veins.

I walked past him as quickly as possible and resisted the urge to flee.

"Alright, calm down. I'm not having sex with you." Ray whispered behind my ears again.

He really had to stop doing that.

"I never even came close to suggesting that!" I yelled.

Ray's laughter met my ears in the darkness.

"Sure you didn't."

"You're repulsive." I said through clenched teeth.

"Oh stop! Don't act like you don't enjoy the thought of it." Laughter was beginning to form in his voice.

I didn't say anything. I couldn't say anything.

"Nothing to say?" He crowded my space and stepped in front of me.

"Your statement doesn't warrant my response." I crossed my arms around my chest.

Ray stepped even closer. It took every ounce of willpower not to run away. "Because it's true."

"It's not!" I insisted with a calm voice.

"We're here."

"What?"

"We're home."

"Oh!"

"What where you thinking?"

"None of your damn business."

"You're my business." He said and took me unawares by tucking his head behind my neck. Slowly, his body relaxed against mine. One of his hands fell onto my hip and the other around my waist.

I tipped my head back to breath fresh air but that only drew me closer. Nerves errupted in my body and threatened to tear me apart. It sank deep into my belly and weakened me at the knees. It wasn't an uncomfortable feeling it dawned on me as I recognized the body that was pressed against mine. The adrenaline that came from having a super hot guy glue himself against me was beyond me.

"I honestly think that this is enough excitement for one night." I whispered and watched him lift up his head.

What I saw in his eyes made butterflies flourish in my belly. A heated masculine gaze stared down at me with total appreciation. His gaze dropped to my lips for five total seconds before he pushed himself away.

"I think you're right."

I wasn't sure if he was talking about our long intimate physical contact.
