When The Light Falls - Book 3 - N. Y. (easy books to read .TXT) 📗

I started.

 

Rikki leans in to listen.

 

This was just peachy of her.

 

 

''We talked. You know, the usual. And then things got out of hand after we got ready for bed.'' I said.

 

''What did he talk about. Kids, or maybe having kids?'' Rikki suggested.

 

''No, we talked.'' I reassured her.

 

 

I took a deep breath again. I can already see Jacob feeling mad at me.

 

I was breaking the rules.

 

 

It was between me and Jacob.

 

But I know Rikki and Marybella won't leave that fact alone, until I tell.

 

 

 

''Okay...,I get in bed and I see that he's staring at me. Like any other person would.'' I said.

 

''Did he give you googly eyes?'' Rikki says, raising her brow.

 

 

''No, it was normal. You know, the one where you both question how beautiful you are.'' I replied.

 

''Yes, but was it a romantic stare, or a deep soul stare?'' Marybella added.

 

 

''I don't know. Look it was a stare and that's it.'' I said angrily.

 

''Okay, continue.'' Rikki said, resting her chin on her hand.

 

  

They both shush as I tried to keep myself together.

 

I was gonna kill myself for telling this on vacation.

 

 

''He leans in to kiss me, and I let him. So we're kissing,....no biggie. Just a normal kiss.'' I say.

 

 

Silence falls between us as I see them showing complete interest for me to continue.

 

''Oh, for crying out loud, stop staring at me like that!''

 

 

''We want to know everything, every detail.'' Rikki says.

 

Marybella nods more to continue, as I sigh for the rest of the story to unfold.

 

 

''Okay, so we're kissing. It's soulful, beautiful and just complete art.'' I said.

 

 

''Did he tongue you?'' Marybella asks.

 

''Marybella, I thought you were going to listen.'' I argue back.

 

 

''Sorry, i'm just curious if kissing is different for you guys. I mean me and Mark are simple with our kisses.'' she says.

 

 

''Butterfly kisses." Rikki exclaimed at Bella.

 

Rikki then turns to me. "Chris and I are wild, we always use tongue-''

 

''Okay, enough with the tongue. We don't kiss using tongue. Okay!!'' I strike back.

 

 

Marybella and Rikki back down as I tried to maintain my anger.

 

 

''Well, we....we-'' I said through mid-sentence.

 

''What?'' Rikki asks with excitement and a smile on her face.

  

 

''We sort of made out.'' I finally said.

 

Marybella scoffs as Rikki chuckles a little. It wasn't funny to begin with.

 

But knowing i'm the more innocent one was sure enough to make them look at me, like their not the ones telling the story.

 

 

''So did you guys went full on?'' Rikki asks leaning beside me.

 

''Not really, we just sort of kissed for....a really, really long time.'' I said.

 

 

I was trying to persuade them as I tried to come up with a different point of view to tell.

 

But they wouldn't stop talking.

 

 

''Did he grab your face when you guys were kissing?'' Rikki asks.

 

"Did he grab your neck? Although I like face grabs." Marybella intruded.

 

''Oh yes, when he grabs your face. Honey that's what I like!!'' Rikki says sitting up.

 

 

She pushes her face together with her hands to resemble a kissing face.

 

''It wasn't like that.'' I reply.

 

 

''Well, tell us what it was exactly.'' Rikki says.

 

 

We were all sat across three beach chairs.

 

Marybella near me to the right and Rikki beside me on the left, I was sitting with my legs crossed.

 

  

''Tell me everything.'' Rikki demands.

 

''Well, he reaches his hand for my neck, he pullls me close....his body is on mine. We're clearly laying down...so-'' I replied.

 

 

''So which position?'' Marybella asks.

 

''I'm not going to tell you any type of position.'' I replied mad.

 

Which position? There are so many.

 

 

''Well then how were you guys making out?'' Rikki asks.

 

 

Even her responses made me dig deeper to try to find an excuse so I don't give them an accurate answer.

 

I fight with my mind and finally spill.

 

 

''We, were laying down on our sides.'' I said.

 

 

Rikki gives me a look. I give her a glare before I answer.

 

''On the bed!'' I said loudly.

 

 

''So tell us more, come on this can't be it.'' Marybella adds.

 

 

I was really scared and tired of speaking, and giving details while out in public.

  

A breeze goes by as I tried to continue.

 

 

''Um,...we....um-'' I started.

 

''Damn it Elle, tell the rest of it. It's oka,y we're comfortable here.'' Rikki says.

 

I looked to both of them as I tried to talk again, all that came out was a sigh.

 

 

''I don't feel comfortable saying it out here.'' I managed to say.

 

 

Marybella and Rikki give each other a look, they both get up as I stare in confusion.

 

 

''Come on, if you can't finish it here-" Rikki starts

 

"Then finish it in my hotel room.'' Marybella says.

 

''Yeah, I need details now. No time to play innocent.'' Rikki says.

 

 

 

She grabs my arm to pull me up. We exit the pool area and go back up to Marybella's room.

 

 

It was quiet and cool.

 

They both sit down on the carpet area near the bed, as I sit on top of the bed.

 

They both sit quietly as I thinned my lips.

 

 

 ''This is much better, thanks Marybella for the idea.'' I finally said.

 

''So what happened, did things get wild?'' Rikki asks sitting next to me on the bed.

 

 

Marybella joins us too, making room for me to sit more comfortably.

 

 

''Well the kiss gets intense. He grabs me and pulls me to his body-'' I started.

 

''You already said that.'' Rikki interuppts.

 

 

''Yeah, i'm getting bored. Are there any good details?'' Marybella adds.

 

''Well there's this one thing he does,...when his hand brushes against my thigh. It's silly but-'' I start.

 

"Oohhh," Rikki smirks.

 

''No continue.'' Marybella says intrigued.

 

 

''He's the sweetest person. He's calm and reassuring, and he made sure that i'm comfortable.'' I said.

 

 

''Honestly if you don't start telling the truth, i'm getting the truth out of you.'' Rikki says.

 

 

She stands up as I look over to Marybella on my left. Bella nods her head agreeing with Rikki.

 

I sigh angrily as I sit up.

 

 

''Me and Jacob, made a pact. That we wouldn't tell anyone.'' I said.

 

"A pact?" Rikki said.

 

''A what?'' Marybella asks.

 

 

''That,....we kind of didn't wait until we got married.'' I said.

 

''What did you do?'' Marybella asked.

 

''Something....'' I replied.

 

 

I flinch as I watch the words tear apart from my mouth.

 

Rikki's eyes widen as her mouth opens.

 

 

''Oh! oh. You, you-'' she starts.

 

 

I quickly get up from the bed and I shush Rikki as I push her into the bathroom. I close the door behind us as she continues to yell.

 

''You, you....you!!'' she says.

 

 

Her eyes were in shock, I was scared that she knew.

 

I made sure the bathroom door was locked as I tried to remain calm.

 

 

''Listen Rikki, you don't know what you're talking about.'' I said turning back to her.

 

She remains silent. 

 

''Rikki, what came across your mind when I said that last setence?'' I reassured her.

 

 

Her growth of shock wavered into a smile. My eyes begin to widen as she stares at me.

 

What was she thinking?

 

 

''No wonder why you're glowing.'' she says.

 

''What- I am not.'' I said, beginning to grow with embarassment.

 

 

She turns me around to look in the mirror, my eyes examining my figure in the reflection.

 

 

''Look at you, pure happiness in your face. That's what happens when you have sex.'' she whispers the last part.

 

She turns me around to face her, her hands gripping my arms.

 

 

''You did it, didn't you?'' Rikki says. 

 

''No.'' I said, with clear embarassment in my eyes.

 

''Last night?'' she asks happily.

 

 

''It was nothing, we just made out and that was it. Nothing happened.'' I replied.

 

''No, I know what happened. You guys finally cut the string and got it over with, about time.'' Rikki says.

 

 

She walks over and reaches for the door handle, Marybella almost topples over as her body leaves the door and enters the bathroom.

 

 

Rikki who had a huge grin on her face. 

 

 "She did it," Rikki says to her.

 

''And so soon, and on vacation! You guys couldn't wait any longer did ya?'' Marybella says.

 

''I've seen the way you guys looked at each other this whole week.'' Rikki says to me.

 

"It's the honeymoon eyes." Marybella says sweetly.

 

 

''Stop, I don't want to talk about it.'' I finally said.

 

''Oh look, she's embarassed.'' Rikki says.

 

 

I cover my face as I walk back into the bedroom. I sit back down in my spot wondering why I even told them.

 

I knew I shouldn't have broken that promise.

 

 

''You...little minx.'' Rikki says.

 

''No it wasn't that, it just...happened.'' I said.

 

''Yeah just like how it magically happened when I annonuced I had a new boyfriend.'' Rikki says, air quoting her fingers in the air.

 

 

''Okay, tell me all the details." Marybella says rushing over to sit next to me.

 

"Every single bit." Rikki exclaimed.

 

''I...i, already told you guys the details near the pool side.'' I replied.

 

''Not those innocent details, the real ones.'' Rikki replies.

 

 

I shake my head as I cover my face again.

 

I had gone to far now, they won't stop torturing me unless I spill all of it.

 

 

''Say it, everything.'' Rikki nudges my side.

 

''No.'' I said shaking my head.

 

 

''Did you guys do role play?'' Rikki suddenly asks.

 

''No.'' I said finally looking up from my hands.

 

''Did you guys open the windows? To let everyone know. Oh, were you guys loud?'' Rikki asks.

 

 

''No, no and NO!!'' I replied to her covering my ears.

 

 

I knew it was a bad decision to tell them. And now they want every detail.

 

It's all my fault.

 

This reminds me when I had that embarassing conversation with Carla and her mother back in Paris. What a time to have that situation happen again.

 

 

At least it was between a good friend and her mother, but now it's between my best friends which is even more embarassing.

 

  

''You, out of all of us, went the extra mile and did it.'' Rikki says, plopping down next to me.

 

"And on vacation...for work." Marybella says slyly.

 

Rikki swooped her cup full of liqour around before sipping it.

 

 

''Now I just wish I hadn't,...i'm so embarassed.'' i replied.

 

''Don't be, you're the first of us. Plus that makes you a woman now.'' Rikki says.

 

''What do you mean a woman? I'm already a woman.'' I replied.

 

 

''Nope. If a woman loses her precious flower, she's part of the cool club with all the other ladies.'' Rikki says.

 

''I just don't want to talk about it anymore.'' I said getting up to face them.

 

 

''No, sit back down, we want to hear the good details. Nothing explicit at all, just give us the good juicy deets.' Rikki reassures.

 

''Just stop Rikki, i've had enough.'' I replied.

 

 

''It's never a girl's job to tell anyone else about it between her friends." I said.

 

"Only friends keep it a secret.'' Marybella said.

 

And just like that, I gave in.

 

 

''Promise to god and everything in the universe?'' I demand.

 

''Girl's honor.'' Rikki raising their right hand.

 

Marybella had her hand raised too.

 

 

At least I can trust them, for now.

 

  

''So what did he do, does he have any moves?'' Rikki finally, says after a quick silence.

 

''Rikki, I said enough.'' I stated angrily.

  

 

''With me and Jason. He used to do the big move in the movie dirty dancing, you know the one where the guy lifts the girl up in the air-'' Rikki says turning to Marybella.

 

 

I stare at her in complete awe, Rikki had secrets and she didn't tell me.

 

''You...you did it too. And before us.'' I said pointing Rikki.

 

''I know how you feel, but I never mentioned I did it with Jason. So...there was no use of saying I was the first of you all.'' Rikki says.

 

 

"Liar," I said,

 

I scoff at her. Things got even more real.

 

 

''You mean to say you were the first of us and didn't confess?'' I said.

 

''Yes, technically yes.'' Rikki says.

 

 

''So that means i'm the only one left?'' Marybella says.

 

''No....you're not. Well,...yes.'' Rikki says.

 

 

I smack Rikki's arm as I turn to Marybella.

 

''What's wrong with doing it before marriage, no biggie. You just don't have to wait anymore.'' Rikki says.

 

 

''But it is a big deal, my mom always told me to wait until I get married. Then it makes it more special for you two.'' Marybella replied.

 

"That's society honey." Rikki replies.

 

I give a breif sigh.

 

''Whatever, you broke the rules and now you're one of us.'' Rikki says  to me, lifting her cup of liquor.

 

 

I spush my face back into my hands.

 

''Now enough of promises, let's get the details since you're the one who got her precious flower taken last night.'' Rikki says.

 

She smiles grittly as I look back to her.

 

Drunk.

 

I hate when she gets like this.

 

  

''So did he pin you up against the
