Choosing Destiny - Chapter 11
As requested.
So being a cheerleader, captain at that, we have to go to every football game. So far we’ve went to three and won all of them. My brother and Akiel can play their asses off. They run around that field like they own it and that clearly shows. Plus they’re fast as hell. Any ways, today’s our first away game of the season. It’s already the second week of October, this year is really moving by fast.
"Okay girls." I yell getting all the cheerleaders attention. "Tonight is our first away game. So we’ll be sharing a bus with the football team. They take two buses, so I don’t know how you guys usually do it but we're gonna split it the freshman and sophomores on bus two and the juniors and seniors on bus one okay?" The girls all nod there heads. I purposely did that because the coach, Coach Tams, said that he splits the buses by grade level and I thought, why not do the same.
"Umm… Destiny?" A little freshman named Cindy asks walking up to me. I think she is the cutest thing in the world. She has long straight dark brown hair and pretty green eyes. She is so sweet and like so adorable. She sticks under me since the other freshman on the team used to pick on her before I straightened them out; I yelled and made them run laps.
"Yea Cindy what’s up?"
"Umm… do you think I could ride with you because the freshman boys on the team will make fun of me?" She says shyly like I would yell at her. I feel sorry for her. She’s like the sweetest little girl and yet people pick on her just because she’s small. That makes me so mad sometimes.
"Of course you can sweets." I say touching her hair. She looks up at me with a smile. I bend down to her ear. "Maybe I’ll introduce you to some of the boys." I whisper in her ear moving away.
I walk over towards Nadia, leaving an excited looking Cindy to dance around the gym.
"Hey chica. What’s up?" She says as I sit next to her.
I sigh. "Nothing. It’s just, I feel bad for Cindy. She’s so sweet and adorable yet she gets picked on every minute." I say sighing again.
"Maybe we should teach her how to be like us, tough and brutal." Nadia says with a laugh.
"Yea alright." I roll my eyes at my friend.
I look to where the boys’ locker room is and see them starting to come out, telling me that it’s time to go. "Okay girls." I call getting their attention again. "Get your things let's go."
We walk outside in the slightly cold afternoon. Nadia and Cindy walk on both my sides, behind the football team since they have to board the bus first. After they’re on the girls go to their respective buses, except for Cindy who’s riding with the juniors and seniors. On the bus, there is like no seats. So basically the girls will have to sit on the football players laps. Nadia and I move towards the back, with Cindy close behind, to where Akiel and Damien are sitting with their friends.
I plop down on Akiel’s lap enjoying the comfort of being there.
"You’re not even gonna ask?" Akiel asks faking like he’s mad.
"Nope." I reply smiling at him sweetly.
"Then raise up lil ma."
"Nah son, I like my seat." I say leaning back into him, placing my head next to his.
Akiel softly kisses my neck. "I like your seat too." He whispers in my ear.
"Who’s the little shrimp?" One of the boys ask. Oh crap I forgot about Cindy.
"Her names Cindy and if I hear one of y’all talking shit about her you’re gonna have a real hard time eating." I threaten.
"Thanks Destiny." She says softly, her green eyes glowing with happiness.
"No prob. Now to find you a place to sit." I say thinking aloud.
"She can sit with me." A football player named John says. He’s a junior and really nice. And he’s pretty cute too, with his short black spiky hair and dark blue eyes. He’s in my Physics class and Trigonometry class.
"Cindy, that’s John. John this is Cindy." I say introducing them. She looks at me with pleading eyes as if she doesn’t want to sit with anyone else but me. I give her a push in his direction, which makes her fall into his lap, which is really the only place she can sit. John wraps his arms around her waist protectively. That’s so freaking cute.
"Dest, what cheers are we doing?" Nadia asks. I look for her, finding her sitting on my brother’s lap, his hands locked around her waist. If I didn’t know any better I’d think they were dating. Hmm. I have to look into that.
"I don’t know. Maybe all of them." I answer a little distracted as I feel Akiel’s thumbs move around in small circles at my waist where my shirt doesn’t cover.
"Okay."
I turn my attention to the person I’m sitting on. His fingers gently glide over my skin, leaving hot spots where ever he touches. His hands move to my stomach, where they stay. His big hands feel gentle on my skin. Resting his head in the nape of my neck, he gently places a kiss there, close to my weak spot. I shudder in excitement, slowly leaning into him more.
This boy is making me crazy. Every time he touches me, I fall deeper in like with him. I know he likes me too because he said it at the Sing-Off. No, he said he loved me in the song, but I don’t get why he won’t ask me.
"Akiel." I whisper trying to not let people hear us.
"Hmm." He murmurs still leaving soft kisses on my neck.
"Why won’t you ask me?" I ask trying to figure out why he won’t ask me to be his girlfriend.
"Because." He answers kissing my soft spot. I bite my lip holding back a moan. Akiel smiles against my skin, clearly happy with my reaction. He kisses my soft spot a couple more time. I bite my lip so hard; I’m amazed I’m not bleeding. I think he likes seeing me squirm. Well let’s see what happens when he’s on the spot.
I don’t know why I’m doing this but I know that if I do I might get somewhere with our relationship. Hopefully. I turn to face him, his misty gray irises looking at me intently, trying to figure out what I’m about to do. Before he can ponder any longer, I press my lips softly to his.
I don’t know how to explain this feeling, that’s how great it is. It’s like an explosion or a damn of water broke and everything is rushing out between us, but there are definitely fireworks there. Akiel responds instantly to the kiss, kissing me back gently. His hands move from my waist, up to my face, cupping it in his big hands. My hands move to his, holding them in place. Our lips move in sync; Akiel’s tongue slides across my bottom lip but I refuse to give him access no matter how much I want to take this kiss to the next level. He continues to try but I deny him every time.
Finally he gives up. I nip at his bottom lip earning a small moan from him.
"Oh shit." One of the boys calls out. Then everybody’s whistling and shouting "Get it." I finally pull away from Akiel, both of us breathing heavily.
With both hands still on my face, he pulls my forehead down to meet his.
"What was that?" He asks. I try to find anger anywhere in his features but only see curiousness in his eyes.
"Revenge." I answer in an exasperated whisper, still trying to catch my breath.
He laughs, kissing my lips gently but pulling away after a second.
"You’re amazing Destiny." Akiel says putting his head in the nape of my neck, but not before I see the blush creep up to his cheeks. He puts his hands back around my waist, moving us back towards the window.
I lean my head against his, making small circles on his hands. I feel happy. Everything seems perfect, like I can have a happy life here with my new family, besides my step mom.
We arrive to our destination thirty minutes later.
"Hey babe, wake up." Akiel whispers softly in my ear. My eyes slowly flutter open. I don’t remember falling asleep but it seems like I did.
"What’s going on?" I ask sitting up. I look around the bus at the people standing up and some still asleep like how I was. My eyes land on Cindy and John.
She’s curled up in his arms, her head tucked in the crook of his neck, sleeping peacefully while he holds her tight around her waist, his eyes shut too, with his head leaned against her. They make the cutest couple I’ve ever seen. And if they do go out, I would hurt John if he hurts her.
"We’re at the high school." Akiel whispers. I realized that everybody’s not talking, probably being considerate to the ones that are sleeping.
I stretch my arms, being careful not to hit Akiel in his face. His arms around me tighten, making me not able to stand up. I look at him with a confused face.
He smiles as his lips touch mine. This kiss isn’t like the first one. No it’s much better. The explosion is bigger and the fireworks are there, booming louder and harder and faster than I’ve ever felt. Everything is perfect with this kiss. He moves slow, our lips molding together perfectly.
"Alright you two. Time to go." Damien says interrupting our beautiful kiss. I move away from Akiel and glare at my brother. He smiles then stretches, hitting John in the face.
"What the fuck man?" John says loudly, waking up everyone on the bus including Cindy. She snuggles closer John, gripping his shirt like a little girl afraid to leave her dad. John smooths down her long brown hair. I smile at them and stand up too.
"Sorry man. Didn’t see you." Damien replies taking Nadia’s hand and walking off the bus with everyone else.
"C’mon babe." Akiel says grabbing my hand, threading his figures through mine, and following his best friend off the bus.
My mind is so scrambled right now I don’t know what to say. He just called me babe. He just kissed me two minutes ago. He’s holding my hand. My mind screams all these thoughts and I feel like falling and not getting back up. This is crazy but I like it.
Akiel releases my hand and gives me a peck before running off to join his team that surrounds the coach.
I turn and see my whole squad looking at me.
"What?" I say with attitude.
"Nothing." They all say in unison with smiles on their faces.
Why does everyone do that?
