TRUE LOVE 2 [Chapter 8: Discovery]

My heart felt as if it were dragging behind me as I walked down street. I wasn’t paying attention to the direction I was walking, I just knew that I wanted to get as far away as possible? Should I go back to my parents? Should I ask Diane if she could let me stay in her son’s bedroom, the son I just broke up with? Did I just give up too easily or did I simply prolong the breaking point? I had no clothes, nowhere to go. I must have crossed at least three major streets without consciously thinking because I was in the center of town. Suddenly, a car horn perked me up out of my stasis. I looked to my left to see Larissa pulling up next to me.

“Get in.” she said

I simply stared at her, unsure if I should get in or continue to walk and think about what just happened.

“Get in the car please. You look like a hooker walking the streets like this.” She joked

I gave a pale smile and entered her car without saying a word.

“Want to talk about it?” she asked

I shook my head.

“You can stay with me. Okay?” she said placing her hand on mine which was resting on my leg

I turned to her as a tear rolled down my cheek. Her face surprised by my overwhelming emotion, she pulled over to the side of the road. As soon as she placed the car in park, she leaned over and hugged me. It was then that I broke down sobbing hysterically. She calmed me down by shushing me and repeatedly saying, “It’s okay. It will be okay.” We sat in her car, parked while I cried for at least five minutes straight. She held onto me the entire time. Larissa was an amazing friend, she was loyal and caring when it counted most. Just as I began to dry my eyes and collect myself, my pocket began to vibrate. I pulled out my phone to see Cameron’s face.

“Don’t answer it just yet. He realize how much pain he caused. He needs time to think about what he’s done.” She said

“I’m the one that broke up with him.” I said flatly

“I know.” She smiled

I looked at her confused.

“I know…because based on the observation I’ve been doing, Cameron hasn’t really been himself lately…and I could see the pain on your face, the questions and the disconnect.”

“You could?” I asked surprised

“You did the same thing that I would have done if I were in your shoes.” She admitted

“He’s not a bad person though. I just wish he was the person I fell in love with two years ago.” I told her

“You want my honest opinion?” she began, “Cameron was your first boyfriend, you need to experience life a little. You never got into the dating scene. Why don’t you see if there is anything else out there? It’s natural.”

“I can’t do that to him.” I said looking down shamefully

“What? You don’t think he’s dated others?” she said honestly

At that moment I remembered the card that fell out of Cameron’s pocket when I was unpacking when we had returned from Seattle. What if Cameron was lying? What if he hadn’t been as faithful as I thought? He obviously had more experience than I did. I couldn’t think about this right now. I just needed to unwind.

“I think I just need to take some Nyquil and sleep this off.” I suggested

“Are you sure?” Larissa asked

“Yes.” I said looking straight ahead

With that, we drove to Larissa’s apartment. She gave me the Nyquil and observed me while I took it. I’m not sure if that was her way of monitoring me to make sure I didn’t overdose on the medication or she was just being nosey. Within a few minutes, I was in a deep sleep. I had dreams and nightmares of the situation. They played over and over in my head, always with a different outcome, different argument.

            Even though two weeks had gone by since the split from Cameron, I was unable to escape the dreams. The nightmares as well as the constant moaning of Larissa’s lady friends she had over didn’t help me sleep at all. It was a different girl every night of the week. She nicknamed them the day of the week, this evening it was Miss Thursday, a hot red-head with the body of a porn star. I got out of what I called my rent-a-bed, since it wasn’t mine to begin with, and headed towards the living room. I was very lucky to have Larissa and Phillip help me by going to Cameron’s to pick up my things. Larissa had mentioned that Cameron, although distraught by the situation, helped them collect my things. Every time they would see him whether it being at his apartment or at his mother’s house, he would always ask how I was doing. Natalie called me once, telling me that he almost seemed hurt by the fact that I never asked how he was doing. The first week away from Cameron was tough, but coming to an end of the second week wasn’t as hard. I had been keeping busy, hanging out with Larissa at the clubs, catching up on my favorite TV shows, going for midnight runs. A couple days ago, I got a text message from Cameron with a picture of Cloud laying on my side of our bed. It broke my heart. I needed to get myself out of this funk I was in. Maybe Larissa was right. I needed to get out and do things that I never got to before I settled with Cameron.

Larissa’s bedroom door opened, pulling me out of my thoughts. Miss Thursday walked out topless. She saw me, smiled and said hi. I smiled back trying to ignore her naked body, except she didn’t seem to care. She stepped in front of me, leaned over to grab her t-shirt which was on the ground next to where I was sitting.

“Sorry.” I said scooting over

“No problem.” She smiled at me, pulling her t-shirt over head

Larissa stood leaning against her bedroom door frame running her fingers through her hair, with only a t-shirt and underwear on. Miss Thursday walked up to her and kissed her on the lips.

“Bye.” Miss Thursday smiled walking towards the front door

“Taste you later, baby.” Larissa smirked as Miss Thursday closed the door behind her
“Gross.” I looked at Larissa with a distasteful smile
“Shut up…it tastes like chicken.”
“Oh my God. I’m gonna throw up.” I fake gagged

She smacked me hard on my arm.

“Ouch” I laughed

“What are you doing up?” she asked lighting a cigarette
“Probably heading for a run.” I said waving the smoke away from me
“At this time of the night?” she said exhaling in the opposite direction
“Yes…since you’re screaming red-head woke me up and now that you are trying to kill me.” I said choking on the tainted air
“Oh calm down…I only smoke one cigarette after sex.”
“Which is every fucking day.” I got up to put on my running shoes
“Well, I won’t wait up.” She said heading back to her bedroom

I walked out of the front door, seeing Miss Thursday getting into a cab and drive off in the general direction I take my running route. I usually run around the park and uptown area, but I figured, why not go a little further? Back to Boiler Bay. I knew this was the place where Nick usually went for swims, but I wasn’t sure what his regular schedule was like, so I wasn’t holding my breath. The fastest route to Boiler Bay was running past Cameron’s apartment, but I took a detour, running through a neighborhood

Within forty-five minutes, I arrived to Boiler Bay. The beach was empty, I didn’t see any sign of clothes or Nick. Maybe this was for the best. I took off my clothes, placed them high on the said under the pier and jumped into the water. I dunked my head under the water to wet my hair. The water was cool, but not freezing. I floated on my back for a while, staring up at the full moon and sky full of stars. Some puffy clouds loomed over me, as they glowed from the moonlight. I heard something in the distance, so I positioned myself to see what it was. I could see a figure jogging near the boardwalk of the beach. I squinted my eyes trying to make out who it was. Oh shit, they were coming towards the water. Maybe me floating like a dead body, wasn’t a good idea. The figured stood at the edge of the water and looked out in my direction. The person waved at me. It was Nick. He took off his clothes and jumped into the water, swimming out towards me.

“Hey.” He said smiling as he finally reached me

“Hey.” I smiled back
“Thought it was you out here. Surprised to see you here.” He confessed
“Why is that?” I asked
“I thought I scared you away.”

I smiled, “No, you didn’t.”
“That’s good.”

We floated near each other in silence for a couple of minutes.

“The water is nice today.” He began small talk
“It is.” I replied

A few seconds passed before we spoke again. We both faced towards open ocean, in order to prevent awkward staring.

“I’m sorry things didn’t work out with Cameron.” He said out of nowhere

“What?” I asked shocked, “How did you know?”
“Small town…” he began, “Plus, my brother was at the beach the day everything went down. I guess Phillip mentioned to his co-worker, he had to leave early, to help his friend Joey move out of his boyfriends apartment, his co-worker is friends with my brother and my brother told me.”

 “I’m going to kill Phillip.” I said in a low voice, “but thanks.” I said
“How are you doing?” he asked politely
“Hanging in there. But honestly, not as bad as I thought I would be.” I confessed
“Well, I’m here if you ever want to talk. I know we have a complicated history, but…I want to prove to you, I’m a good person.” He said smiling at me.

His face was covered in droplets of ocean water, his eyes glistened in the moonlight.

“Thank you. I think the best thing for me to do, is to just…take it day by day and move forward.”
“That’s a good plan.” He said

The water was starting to get cold. We agreed to head back to the beach and dry off. We reached the beach, stepping out of the water completely naked. I forced myself to not look at Nick’s body. I began to walk towards my clothes sitting under the pier.

“Where are you going?” Nick asked
“My clothes are over here.” I pointed looking at his face only
“Did you bring a towel?”
“Shit…no.” I admitted
“Well, come over here, you can use mine.” He said as I realized I wasn’t looking at his face anymore.

Nick was pretty well endowed. I couldn’t help but widen my eyes at his girth. I walked over hunched like an old man, freezing. He picked up a large beach towel and wrapped it around himself.

“Is that the only towel you have?” I asked
“Yeah…come on in.” he said opening the towel like a cape

The towel was large enough for not only two, but three people. I huddled in under the towel as we sat on the sand side by side. He wrapped the towel around my shoulder, placing his arm around me. His cool body nestled against mine.

“You are freezing.” He said rubbing my arm
“Yeah.” I said chattering my teeth
“Smooth move, not bringing a towel.” He laughed
“Shut up.” I laughed
“Come closer.” He said pulling my body closer to his

I complied and felt his hand grab my waist to force me closer. I felt his eyes on me. I looked up at him. He was smiling.

“What?” I asked
“Nothing…you’re just…gorgeous.” He smiled
“Stop.” I chuckled
“I don’t want to stop…” he said. I locked onto his eyes and then his lips, “not anymore.”

I don’t know what happened, but his words warmed me up. His face grew larger as I realized we were leaning into each other. Our eyes closed and lips met. I felt his tongue enter my mouth and his soft lips massaging mine. Our mouths smacked with each kiss, but it was interrupted by a passing car.

“I’m sorry.” He said shaking his head

I looked up at him, knowing he truly wasn’t sorry.

“I’m not.” I confessed

His head quickly turned to me and smiled. It was like seeing a child excited for Christmas. Nick’s beauty gave me chills, his smile made me want him…his body made me crave him.

“Come on.” He said standing up naked and completely erect
“Where?” I asked standing up with the towel wrapped around me

He pulled me towards the underside of the pier. He threw the towel off me once we were underneath. He then pulled me towards him for a kiss. His hands running down my back and squeezing my ass. His erection was tucked between my legs, begging to enter me. My erection was up between our abs. We then began to crouch down onto the towel as we continued to kiss. I ran my hands down the side of his abdomen also grabbing hold of his firm ass. We came up for air, his forehead against mine, our noses touching, we panted.

“Fuck me.” I whispered

He lifted me upwards as he was in a sitting Indian position. He spit onto his hand and began to lubricate his penis. The head of his penis was throbbing against my ass cheek. He then spit onto his hand again and then lubricated my anus. This wasn’t the sexiest part of anal sex, but it was necessary to enhance the pleasure.

I kissed him again and then began to lower myself onto his erection. His thick penis entered me, I moaned loudly with every inch. He placed his hands under my ass for support and I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck. I began to ride him. Nick threw his head back in pleasure. I felt his throbbing penis slide in and out of me with every thrust. His hands gripped my ass, squeezing it occasionally. I began to ride him harder as his penis drove deeper inside me. My penis was rubbing against his beautiful abs, which gave me pleasure without having to stroke myself. We both moaned at the blissful experience. The gentle waves crashing on the beach, the seagulls flying over the ocean made this a perfect scene.

“Fuck.” Nick whispered into my mouth as we kissed

“Harder.” I whispered back, demanding him to take control

 He leaned me onto my back, lifted my legs and wrapped them around his waist. He hovered over me using both arms and penetrated me. I grunted in pleasure and he moaned loudly. His thighs slapping against my ass aroused me even more. I stroked my erection to intensify the satisfaction. He eventually leaned back and positioned himself on his knees, lifting my legs over his shoulders. He held onto my ankles as he pounded me the hardest he’s pounded me yet.

“I’m gonna come.” He huffed thrusting faster into me

“Come baby.” I moaned, feeling close myself

He pulled out of me as his semen squirted against my ass. At the same, I came onto my stomach, moaning at the release.

Nick crawled over next to me and lied down on his side. My eyes were barely open, I was worn out from the amazing sex we just had. He placed his left hand on the ride side of my face, turning my head towards him. He leaned in and kissed me, gently slipping his tongue in my mouth. His beautiful green eyes fixed onto my eyes. I smiled at him.

“I’ve dreamed of this moment.” He smiled at me

I laughed, “Of fucking me on the beach?”

He gave out a chuckle and simply responded, “No…of making you happy.”

My laughter stopped as I looked back into his eyes. The sincerity of his answer melted my heart. I leaned in to kiss him again, but this time, with true passion. He lied in the sand holding onto each other for a while before it got too late. We eventually got dressed and walked up the boardwalk. Instead of letting go of my hand, he gently tugged me in the direction of where he had jogged from.

“What?” I asked

“Come with me.” He smiled his beautiful smile
“Nick.” I smiled back at him
“Please.” He pulled me in for a kiss
“Okay.” I laughed

We walked back to his brother’s place, hand in hand.
