Issue #106 Super Friends

Pat trying to control his storm by being close to Dion so he can willingly heal him, but falls for Nicole. The kiss takes a different route...

Pats POV

"Ugh ouch." I rub my face into my hands, I went into this attempting to go slow, but I couldn't even keep up with her in pool.

"I don't remember you playing pool." I turn to face a smug Nicole stand next to me.

"Well I was always busy in school, and you didn't like me remember?" She says poking a finger into my chest.

"Then I had Dion and there wasn't much time for us to hang out in pools halls." She turns when our drinks arrive.

I grab my beer feeling my mouth getting dry, this happens around Nicole a lot with my nerves.

She says that Mark had wanted to keep it their secret.

More secrets, she is not your ally. Take the boy! I push the voice to the back of my head. Not now...

Her laughter fills the air which brings me back, roots me in the moment.

"Oh wow. Well played Mr. Warren." I say lifting my glass. Guilt seeping in the moment.

When she finds out she will never forgive you. Focus on Dion.

I didn't realize I spaced out till Nicole placed a warm gentle hand on mine, "Pat, your shaking are you okay?" she says concerned.

"I'm sorry." She doesn't lift her hand and just says "for what.."

"F- For not liking you before.." she looks a bit shocked, I turn my hand over so our palms are touching.

"I won't make the same mistake twice." She slowly pulls away and lifts her beer to her lips and takes a deep gulp while I see a light dusting of blush on her cheeks.

-On the way to Nicoles house-

"You have got to show me some of your famous dance moves." I say jokingly begging.

She throws her head back in laughter as she shakes her head no. I lick my lips as I watch her smile and laugh, I've been feeling strongly about Nicole recently.

I know I was originally getting close to Dion but I've also gotten close to Nicole and whether storm likes it or not the plans been changed...

That is not the goal! Idiot!

With a rumble I can feel the storm trying to break through, from the deep rooted pits of my mind.

Trying not to physically react to the voice and look crazy in front of Nicole.

I felt the stir of guilt seep into me, I don't want to use Dion , he's my godson... my bud. But he's my only chance of survival. There's got to be a safe way to do this, and a way to come clean to Nicole.

Insolent, I wait for no one.

I push back against his thoughts and try to refocus on Nicole.

"I have this holiday party coming up at Biona, you have to show me some moves so I don't make a fool of myself." I fist pump the air as a demonstration and her smile reignites again. God, I see why Mark fell for her so easily.

She tucks a loose curl from her face behind her ear as she peers over at me in laughter. I show her more dance moves as we approach her house, I don't want her to worry about Dion even if it's just for a moment.

She looks up at her building once we reach the front door. "This is me.." she says laced with sadness.

"Sorry for hustling you at pool." She says trying to hide her sadness from me, which fails since I can feel her emotions in the air around her. "All is forgiven." I say.

She continues, "I just want to thank you for being here tonight. Well every night..." I'm now wondering if the last drink was too much for her.

"Thank you for being there even tho I'm not always that nice to you.." she takes a step toward me. The air around her changes and for a moment I can't tell what she's feeling, I've never felt this kind of tension in the air around her.

Looking her over, she licked her lips and her natural dancer posture is very relaxed. Which is a happy sight compared to the nervous tension she used to feel around me. I briefly looked down and see her nipples poking through her sweater. I take a step forward anticipating her to step back and keep her distance but she doesn't move.

She takes a deep breath and continues her rambling, I'm so close that she has to tilt her head up to face me.

Being this close I can see a slight blush on her cheeks, "I guess what I'm trying to say is just, I don't know what I would do without you."

I couldn't help it, I leaned in gently placing my lips on hers. She tensed for a moment, I was about to pull away to apologize until I felt a soft hand snake around the back of my neck holding me there.

I felt her lips move against mine, and I matched her pace not wanting to screw this up. Even after 3 beers she still tastes sweet.

Stop this fraternizing! The storm relents in my mind. The searing migraine intensifying.

I place a hand on the small of her back and feel her lean toward me. The warmth of her breasts against my chest and her mouth on mine, could turn me into a puddle here and now. The blind pain from the base of my skull became so overpowering.

She breaks the kiss and we're both breathless. I look into her eyes hoping there's no regret. "Pat..I don't-" she starts.

"Let's- not... do this tonight, I'll stop by after-school tomorrow." She nods giving me a peck on my cheek before she walks to the door swaying her petite ass on the way.

I sense someone near...

"I already told you Dions off limits." I say aloud trying to hear my voice over the pain in my mind. I walk back to my car fumbling with the keys.

Someone else is there...

I get inside the car and try my best to push him down weigh him down. But it feels like the more I try the deeper I dig myself...

Man I wish Mark was here...
