CHAPTER 44
Stupid alarm clock. Stop making that annoying buzzing! I don't want to wake up. Go away! I groan and pull the blanket over my head to try and block it out, but it isn't going away. It's like a fly that doesn't learn to take the hint and leave. It keeps buzzing around your ear no matter how many times you swat it, but this is much worse. This buzzing noise can't eventually fly away. Through the covers my hand slides out to find the irritating device. I'm just too lazy to open my eyes and hit the snooze button. I can feel Eri stirring beside me and roll on her side. This stupid clock is going to wake her up! She takes the blanket with her, leaving a part of my body exposed to the cold air. I shiver at the sudden temperature change. Blanket hog. I need some blanket too! I give up trying to sleep. I open my eyes and sit up, then slam down as hard as I can on the snooze button to silence this irking noise. I'm so glad it stopped. And I remember something I wish weren't true. I frown and let out a grunt of disapproval. Why does school have to be today?! I don't want to go anywhere. I'm still tired from yesterday. Suddenly, events from the bathroom fill my head and I start to blush. I just...and Eri...wow. A lopsided grin spreads across my face. Who knew she could be so...sexy? And skillful? Not that I don't have a problem with it. And I don't regret anything. I kinda wish I didn't get so tired afterward though, so I could repay the favor, but the way I felt, after I...you know. It was intense. I felt my whole body shake and every ounce of my energy instantly left my body. It left this numb and prickly feeling when it was over. It felt so good. I'll just have to get better stamina. So I won't clonk out when it's over. I'll be more prepared next time. I glance at the clock reading the time and look back to the girl sleeping beside me. Should I go to school or stay here with her? That's a tough choice. If I don't get up now I might be really late. But if I do get up I won't be in this bed nice and warm with her right next to me. I can't stop looking at her. She looks so cute and innocent. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Her dark locks are sprawled across her face and the mat almost angelically. Her skin is flawless. She's prefect. Even if she has her mouth slightly parted with her pointer finger to her mouth. I start to smile and stroke her black hair. She shifts in her sleep again and mumbles. Her eyes flicker and she rolls on her other side, facing me. Then I see her dark and luring eyes, staring up at me, groggily. Her lips form into a goofy smile and it makes my smile grow bigger.
"Hey." I whisper
She rubs her eyes and sits next to me. Squinting through her drooping lids to see around her. She automatically uses her hand as a brush to comb down any strands of messy hair. I kinda like the bed hair on her.
"Good morning." she mumbles, her mind still thick with sleep
I scoot closer to her to try and stay warm and lace my fingers through hers into a hold. I pull the blanket up to my chest, realizing that I'm still naked and exposed. She looks at me and I gaze into her eyes then kiss her. It's brief, but sweet. She leans in closer to me so that our face are barely touching. She squeezes my hand and sighs. I close my eyes to try and focus on my thoughts and do what's more important; which is getting to school on time. With her like this, it's hard to pay attention and not easily give in to my desires like before.
"I um...yesterday..."
Should I thank her? My face goes warm again. She kisses me and it's longer than mine. I pick up my other hand and cup Eri's cheek, affectionately as she opens her mouth to allow me easy access to explore. I can feel the heat in my cheeks quickly travel between my legs and the traces of desire and lust instantly spark back to life. I put my hand around her hip and pull her towards me so that she's sitting in my lap. I kiss her neck next and put my hand to her thighs. She moans and opens her legs then leans back. I sit up and look at her in amazement. So beautiful. Her eyes darken with need. My hand goes to the area I want the most and she nods. She's ready? She's going to just let me...my brain breaks down at the though of finally being able to claim her as mine. I lick my lips and breathe out.With on arm I latch on to her waist and pull her up so that's she's standing on her knees in front of me. The sheet around her shoulders falls daintily to her lower back. I kiss her exposed stomach and glide my finger to the heat between her legs. She takes a sharp intake of air to brace herself. I know it's going to hurt just a little. I look at her memorized, lost in our passion. Her eyes draw me in deeper into our lust. She wants this and the need in her eyes urges me on to finally be able to touch her. I lick my lips, watching her. I can't turn away.
"Reina you're going to-oh! Holy...um...ok..."
I sit up quickly to cover Eri and myself with my blanket. Eri sits in front of me and puts her head against my neck to hide. She's leaving me yet again to face this not so pleasant moment. Isn't this an all too familiar moment? Just minus us being naked and about to have wild and steamy sex! What is with my uncle and his shitty timing?! Damn it uncle!
"Can't you knock?!" I yell "Get out!"
I'm fed up with his interruptions. He covers his eyes and puts a hand out, blindly. "I'm sorry. I didn't expect Eri to be here. And I didn't think you two were...I'm just going to leave. Try not to be late for school."
He spins around and makes a run for the door. I feel Eri's hold on my neck tighten and I kiss the closest part of her with in my range, which is her neck. She breaths out, heavily. The mouthful of air that's let out tickles my skin.
"We should...go to school." I mumble
I really don't want to. I want to stay like this forever, with Eri by myself. It feels nice to have her this close. The feeling of her skin to mine is comforting. She moves back to look at me. She doesn't want to go either. I can tell.
"I don't have a uniform to wear." she says
I lean forward, just an inch away from her soft lips and press our foreheads together. I really don't want to go. I want to stay here with her for the rest of the day. Possibly pick up where we left off. That sounds nice. I like that better. I smirk slightly at those thoughts. Eri's breath is shorter and more heavy, noticing how close our faces are. I'm tempted to kiss the pair of plush lips before me. One of her hands go around my neck and cling there, the light brushing of her thumb to the curve of my neck encourages me to kiss her and have my way with her.
"Let's not go then." I whisper
I see her visibly shake at the huskiness to my voice. It's the same voice I had yesterday before we...I close my eyes to control myself to some degree. I can put my needs on hold for later...I think.
"Wouldn't your uncle be angry if you skipped school?"
"Only a little." I reply
"Then maybe we should go."
I cringe to the decision she's settled with. This is going to suck. How am I going to pay attention in class now that I have a clear view of what Eri looks like naked or how she feels. And the way she smells, it's intoxicating. There's so many things I love about her and many things I want to be doing to her as well. She kisses me for a second then backs away and I'm left with the cold air around me to replace her spot. I really hate this! I let out a frustrated groan and lay back in my bed to try and settle down. Is waiting now worth it? I'll have to find out.

"And where have you two been?!" Risa questions
I knew this was coming, but I really want to avoid this. Not gonna happen though. Risa gives me an upset look like my mom would if I didn't come home on time.
"So we were a little late. No need to act like my mother Gaki-san." I reply
I feel Eri tighten her grip on my hand that had not left since we exited her house. We had to rush to her house to get her uniform since none of mine were going to fit her and from there we ran to school. It wasn't an easy thing. I hate running and Eri's a much better runner than I am. It was hard to keep up with her. But we made it, barely in time, but still we're here and that's what counts right? Ai comes over to her girlfriend's side and looks us over, carefully. I gulp. I hope she doesn't figure out why we were so late and then decide to tell everyone what she's just figured out. I would not like her after that! Her dark eyes move back and forth between us than settles on me again. Slowly, a grin comes to her face and it makes me worry. She better shut up! Or I swear I will hurt her!
"I know why you two were so late." She announces
All eyes focus on us, completely and I start to blush. Eri shifts behind me to try and hide from the curious glares. Yet again I'm alone to face them. I put a hand on her arm to comfort her. We might as well get ready for the most embarrassing moment of our lives. Since we can't run away. Ai starts to laugh.
"Ai-chan, what are you doing?" Risa asks
Risa save us from embarrassment! Do something to shut up your girlfriend who's growing to be the hugest pest in my life right now! I don't even care if they start making out right in front of me this very second. As long as she shuts up Ai, I'll be happy. I don't think that will happen though.
"Oh come on isn't it obvious?" Ai laughs, she points a finger at us "These two finally did it."
Damn it Ai shut your mouth! Eri leans against me as if trying to disappear by using me like some vertex. I'm no invisible blanket damn it! You can't go through me! What am I a door for her escape? She's just gonna have to stand here like me and face that we've just been ratted on. I look to the others to see if they understood what Ai just said. A large part me wishes they don't get it. Koharu's lost, which is expected from a kid who spaces out a lot and Sayu's clueless. She isn't that bright is she? I trust Risa knows, but won't say anything. She's more mature about it.
"Huh? What are you talking about Ai?" Sayu questions
Ai puts a hand to her forehead and tries to find a better way on how to explain this. Please don't! Let Sayu suffer and be dumbstruck for the rest of her life for all I care!
"They...DID IT." She stresses, then waits for it to sink into Sayu's head
Her thinking face shifts to realization and her dark eyes open wide as she puts everything together. Damn it.
"You two had sex before me?!" she screams
All the blood rushes to my head with embarrassment so fast that it feels like it's about to explode. I put my head down and stare at the floor. Did she have to yell it out?! Is she that stupid?! Why she is so mad anyway?
"How could this happen? And so soon!"
"Sayu will you calm down!" Risa demands
Now she comes to save me! It's a little too late for that. I think everyone in this school and outside heard what she just said. I winch as Eri's hold tightens around my fingers that I'm starting to lose the circulation to my fingers. I hope she knows I need that hand.
Once Sayu settles down, Risa faces Ai with a big frown on her face and smacks Ai on the arm.
"Did you have to tell everyone? Leave them alone! Whatever they do is their business." She explains
Ai rubs her arm and pouts, Risa pays no mind to it and walks away. It looks like I won't have to kill Ai after all. Risa will do that for me. The bell rings and we start to break away to get to our classes. Ai follows Risa like some lost puppy and tries to call her, but she's ignored. Risa's chosen to give her the silent treatment. That will make Ai suffer for a while. And I'm glad! She deserves it.
"Risa, come on!" she whines
I turn to Eri when everyone's gone. She has her head down still in shame.
"Don't listen to them. They're just teasing us. You'll be ok right?"
"Yes."
I smile and kiss her cheek. "I'll see you at lunch."
She picks up her head and smiles at me. She nods in agreement. She lets go of my hand then leaves. I move my wrist in a circular motion and bend my fingers to get the feeling back into my hand again. She has a strong grip.Well...I guess this day could have went worse? I can't tell. It's still bad to me. This day better be over soon!

"Are you nervous?"
"A little." I sigh and grip the steering wheel tightly
My uncle smiles. "No need to be scared. You'll do fine." he ensures
I face the front of me and nod to his words of encouragement. Maybe asking my uncle to teach me how to drive after coming home from school isn't a good idea. I would feel better sitting at home in my room doing my homework and laying on my bed as I stare at one math question for a good thirty minutes to try and solve it. That sounds so much safer right about now. I don't know what to expect while driving. I just pray to not end up hitting some poor person who's out for a afternoon walk. That thought terrifies me and I grip the wheel so hard my knuckles turn white.
"You're going to have to let go of the wheel."
I twist my head so fast to the side I nearly get whiplash and my heart races.
"What?! Why?! Why let go of the steering wheel!" I scream
I like the steering wheel. It help me not crash and die!
"Reina, you have to keep a firm grip on it not a death grip to try and choke it." He instructs
I face back to my hands and laugh nervously. I open my hands just a fraction and see them turn back to their normal color. I can do this. I can do this. Am I hyperventilating?
"Are you sure you're ready to drive?"
"Yeah! Yeah, I'm ready uncle." I stutter
"Ok, just relax and..."
"I am relaxed!" I scream
I scream so loud he jumps. He gives me a strange look and looks ahead of himself. "Ok, how about we don't learn how to drive today?"
"Why!" I wail
"Reina, you are on the verge of freaking out and what good are you on the road if you can't learn to calm down?" He explains "You just might hit someone while driving."
I let go of the wheel and put my hands to my lap. He's right. Why am I so worried? We're in a secluded area. We won't hit anyone. It's practically safe here. Unless I lose control and smash into that street light over there. But even then that's a good two feet away! Stupid pole shouldn't be there if I can possibly run right into it!
"Listen, you'll do fine I know it. Just as long as you don't become road crazy like your father." He chuckles and pats my shoulder
"Ok." I agree, hold my breath then let it out, sharply.
"You have to put your seat belt on first, check your mirrors, see if you have to adjust your seat." He says
I listen to him and sit back holding the wheel once again. He hands me the key to my car and I stick it into the ignition and twist it. The car roars and purrs the second I turn it on. This isn't so bad.
"Put your foot on the gas pedal."
I look down. "Which one is that?"
"The one on the right."
I place my foot to the right pedal and lean back. I smile, feeling more confident.
"Alright, now you have to switch the gear shift here from drive to reverse and then slowly ease out of your parking spot."
I grab the gear stick and move it while still looking in front of me and press the gas pedal. Suddenly, the car speeds forward rapidly and I yell out taking my foot off the pedal immediately. The car slows down. I stare in shock. I look to my uncle.
"Ok, that wasn't what I asked." he starts to laugh "I did say reverse and slow. You just went forward and went a little too fast."
I start to laugh too. I press my head to the steering wheel and exhale. I'm such an idiot. The care is filled with our laughter for a few seconds. At this rate will I ever be able to drive this damn car. It can't be that hard. I'm just slow in the head is all. I sit back up to get ready for another try.
"Let's do this again." my uncle suggests
"Ok."
I grab the steering wheel. Piece of cake, I can handle this. Not a problem!
